More than two years have passed since the fall of Peking in 1937 to the successful invasion of the Eighth Route Army tonight. In the past two years, many people in the occupied areas of Peking have also thought about when Peking will be liberated.

When this day finally came, the people in the city still seemed a little unbelievable. But the sound of gunfire that echoed all afternoon undoubtedly clearly told everyone that the Eighth Route Army was really entering the city of Beiping and was encircling the Japanese!

Even the foreign consuls who were neutral were also very incredible when they learned that the Eighth Route Army had successfully entered the city and was launching an operation to eliminate the remaining enemies in the city. In their opinion, the Japanese army's failure was too fast.

In fact, for the Eighth Route Army who were entering the city at this moment, many puppet troops were also fighting the Japanese. Although they were a little puzzled, they still did not sit on the wall and quickly joined the puppet troops to clear out the Japanese army in the city.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army that was constantly pouring into Beiping City, the attached army was left behind for defensive operations. Most of the two Japanese devils who were forced to be recruited were naturally not as loyal as the Japanese direct descendants. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, surrender became their first choice.

Most of the puppet troops chose battlefield uprising to save their lives, and most of the subordinate troops chose to surrender to save their lives. With the fewest remaining Japanese troops, how long can they last with the pursuit of the Second Reconnaissance Regiment following the city troops?

After the reconnaissance team leader Du and the other three commanders entered the city one after another, the reconnaissance team soldiers who had finished their battle and controlled some important targets in the city also reported the situation with Commander Du in a timely manner.

‘Captain, a group of Japanese devils broke into the embassy area before and were stopped by those foreign devils. But a few Japanese devils still broke in. We originally wanted them to hand over the man. But they said that those Japanese devils were their expatriates!’

Commander Du, who heard the report, also said directly: "Let's go to Embassy Street!"

When Commander Du arrived on Embassy Street, he looked at the foreign troops who were waiting for the battle. He went forward and said directly: "I am one of the commanders of the attack on Peiping this time. I want to meet your direct superiors and raise our protest!"

‘Please wait! I will notify the consuls now!’

Compared to the previous reconnaissance team soldiers who asked them to hand over their people, these foreign devils were not very willing to sell their accounts. Now seeing Captain Du coming, he was one of the commanders who attacked Peiping this time. He could speak fluently in English, and the foreign devil soldiers did not dare to be lazy.

Of course, what is more important is that they saw a unit brought by Commander Du. Judging from the equipment of these people, these foreigners are not stupid at all. If they really want to get angry with these people, they probably won’t have any good results.

In fact, at this time, these foreign consuls were also having a fierce confrontation. The previous Italian consul in China accepted several Japanese commanders in Peking, which really made the consuls of Britain and the United States very angry.

They felt that this undermined the neutral policy reached by everyone before. But the Italian consul also said directly: "They have decided to become Italian nationality. As an expatriates in our country, I have the right to provide them with asylum!"

With the beginning of the European war, Germany and Italy are undoubtedly getting together. Even now that Germany and Japan have reached an alliance agreement in private, they are naturally willing to provide some protection for Japan.

When they learned that the Eighth Route Army had already come to negotiate, the consuls of Britain and the United States immediately said: "Since those people are provided by Consul Allo, then you can negotiate! This matter has nothing to do with us!"

At this time, countries with good relations such as Britain and the United States were also willing to see the Eighth Route Army agree to the Italian side to get into evil. After all, allies such as Britain and the United States hope to bring China into their alliance sequence.

Faced with the words of consuls in Britain, France, the United States and other countries, the Italian consul in China could only say: "Okay, then I will go and meet the Chinese general. I want to see if he dares to cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries!"

‘Let’s go, let’s take a look! The Eighth Route Army today is no longer the poor Red Army that year. I’m afraid this Allo won’t get a bargain. Of course, we all like to hear about this, right?’

‘Good! Let’s go and have a look together! I’m really not used to staying in the embassy area for so long. Speaking of which, we also need to discuss with the commanders of the Eighth Route Army, how we can get along with them next.’

At this time, the US Consul in China said: "Everyone, based on the suggestions given by our liaison office in Yan'an, these Eighth Route Army are somewhat different from the Chongqing government.

Especially the young General He, he was very disgusted with such unequal treaties in the concession. However, General He was a very rational general, and he was good at dealing with us foreign governments.

If the other party feels satisfied, we can also gain a lot of benefits from the Eighth Route Army. At least from the current cooperation situation, the Eighth Route Army does have the potential to deserve our support. They also have the ability to become the future leadership team of China!”

I was afraid that these consuls from Britain, France and other countries would put on a high airs in front of the Eighth Route Army. The US consul also reminded him in time. At least he did not want China to get into evil with these countries.

When the Italian consul appeared in the martial law area, after the introduction of the US consul, Commander Du also said directly: "Consul Allo, do you have anything to explain about the previous matters?"

'This is a diplomatic and consular area, your army has no right to enter! If you force it into, it is a provocation to our government. I have said that those are our expatriates, and I have the right to provide protection to them!'

‘Is that so? Consul Allo, who do you think about your remarks, who do you think is credible to so many consuls present today? I need to confirm now that those people are really your expatriates?’

‘Yes! I'm sure!’

Just after Consul Allo simply said this, Commander Du immediately said: "First Battalion, prepare for battle!"

With the order of Commander Du, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who were staying behind him immediately raised their guns to their shoulders. Seeing these Eighth Route Army soldiers starting to seize the tangible terrain and ready to shoot at any time, the foreign soldiers responsible for the alert were also shocked.

Ignoring the other consuls' words, Commander Du said directly: "Consul Allow, the people you covered have participated in the war of aggression against our country. So, can I think that this is your country's undeclared war against our country?"

As soon as these words were said, the consuls of Britain, France and the United States who were staying aside immediately felt that the commander of the Eighth Route Army was really powerful. I was afraid that Allow would not be able to bear such a responsibility by elevating this matter to the undeclared war.

‘Captain Du, don’t talk nonsense! You are slandering, and you are intentionally provoking a war between our two countries!’

Looking at the somewhat anxious and angry Consul Allo, Commander Du said calmly: "Consul Allo, we know that your consulate district has chosen to adopt a neutral policy earlier.

In order not to cause friction and misunderstanding, our army did not search your consular area after entering the city. However, you who chose a neutral policy did not abide by the policies announced to the outside world before the war, which is a provocation to our army.

There is another thing I need to remind Consul Allow. My commander is Commander He Zhengdao of the Northeast Field Army. He is very clear about the war that is taking place in Europe now and also knows that you have a good relationship with Ribo.

But at present, our country has only declared war on Japanese bourbon and has not announced its participation in the allied states. So, if you cause friction and even disputes between the two countries in order to protect a few Japanese bourbon people, do you think you can make an appointment with the people?"

A sentence directly exposed the intentions of Arlo's attempt to preserve the Japanese people. Commander Du's sharp words made the foreign consuls look at him with admiration. However, countries such as Britain, France and the United States seemed secretly happy.

Speaking of which, they were very happy to see the Italian consul in front of the Eighth Route Army. Especially when they learned that this officer was actually He Zhengdao's subordinate, they felt even more excited and felt that they could learn more about He Zhengdao through this officer.

Just when Arlo was in a difficult situation, Commander Du said at the right time: "Consul Allo, although I cannot give you any promises on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I am one of the commanders this time, but I can ensure your safety in the city.

If you choose to oppose our army and protect those war criminals, then our army has the right to doubt that you are an alliance with the Japanese government and support the Japanese government's aggressive war against our country.

Our army also firmly resists and disagrees with such behavior. For this reason, I hope that Consul Allo, you can consider clearly whether for several war criminals, whether you really want to push the relationship between our two countries to a hostile stance!”

Faced with another verbal forced by Commander Du, the Consul Allo, who also felt alone, could only say: "Okay! In order to prove that our country is not hostile to your army, I can return those people."

‘Thank you! We warmly welcome any foreign government that is willing to make friends with us. Our army will send corresponding management personnel to come soon after.

At that time, they will negotiate with all the consuls. We also thank any government and individual who support our country's anti-Japanese war. We will not treat our friends unfairly, and will give some preferential treatment!’

After uttering these words at the right time, Commander Du also felt relieved. If He Zhengdao had not been instructed to have any conflicts with these foreigners. With his temper, he would have led his troops in to arrest people.

Now that the other party has surrendered, this kind of conflict has also been avoided. After all, Chief Du knew that He Zhengdao's usual policies ignored the war between European countries.

This short confrontation also made many foreign consuls see the unique side of the Eighth Route Army. Even a commander who led troops to fight had the same eloquence as a diplomat, which was indeed rare.

Some people even think that the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of them is a study abroad officer who has conducted further studies overseas. But no matter what, they all feel that they really need to handle their relations and bilateral exchanges with the Eighth Route Army carefully!
