Sai Hongfu finished recording the text message, but he hesitated: "Really?"
"Of course, you must send it!" Xu Rui said, "Don't change a word!"
"There's really nothing I can do against you." Sai Hong rolled her eyes at Xu Rui and turned back to the communication office. But to be honest, she also felt that although the text message Xu Rui dictated was a bit vulgar, it really boosted her morale. , Shunroku Hata, who has just arrived, will be furious after seeing this text message, right
But besides making Hata Shunroku mad to death, does such a threat have any other purpose
Sai Hongfu followed Xu Rui's order and broadcast the text message verbatim.
Soon, this text message broadcast in the name of the exclusive commentator of Datong News spread throughout East China, whether it was the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, the Central China Front Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army, the Chief of Staff of the Third Theater District of the National Army, or all radio owners in Shanghai, All Western media outlets received this message from Datong News Agency.
Wan Xiangyun immediately came to Gu Shutong with this text message and read it to him.
After listening to the first sentence, Gu Shutong spit out all the tea he had just drank in his mouth, laughed and cursed: "What an asshole, this is too vulgar, how can you look like a senior officer of the regular army?" Well, this is simply the tone of a bandit, oh no, bandits are a hundred times more refined than him."
Wan Xiangyun cheered and said with a smile: "Aren't all people in the world just mud-legged? How can you expect them to say anything polite about mud-legged people?"
Gu Shutong shook his head and continued: "But don't say it, it's a bit vulgar, but it really makes me angry. Even I feel angry after hearing it."
"It really boosts your morale." Wan Xiangyun also said, "This Xu Rui is quite good at playing word games."
Gu Shutong nodded slightly and continued: "Lao Wan, continue reading, what else is there?"
Wan Xiangyun then read the content at the end of the text message. After Gu Shutong listened, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn, and he said leisurely: "Xu Rui is going to give Shunroku Hata a blow." Huh? He is a small regiment commander, but he gives power to the Japanese front army commander. Is he qualified? He really dares to think and do, he really dares!"
Wan Xiangyun also shook his head and said: "Xu Rui is like a toad swallowing the sky. He has such a loud tone. Shunroku Hata will not pay attention to him. If he really wants to pay attention to him, Shunroku Hata will lose."
"Not necessarily." Gu Shutong shook his head and said, "Half a month ago, Xu Rui also sent a threat to Little Japan through a text message from Datong News Agency, threatening to take retaliatory actions within a month. At that time, both the Japanese army and us , did not take his threat seriously at all, but what happened in the end? In the end, Xu Rui really captured Feicheng within half a month, inflicting a heavy blow to the Japanese army in Central China! Shan Shanyuan committed seppuku because of this! "
Wan Xiangyun coughed and whispered: "Chief, the decision to attack Feicheng was made by you. Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment is just cooperating with the action."
"There are no outsiders here, but there is no need to worry." Gu Shushi waved his hand and continued, "Last time Xu Rui made a threat, no one took it seriously. This time he made a threat through Datong News again, and I'm afraid there will be no more People dare to take it lightly, right? Don’t say it’s unforeseen, don’t say it’s unforeseen, huh, if it were me, Shunroku Hata, I really wouldn’t dare to take it lightly.”
Wan Xiangyun said: "Let Shunroku Hata have a headache over this matter. Let's treat it like a drama. If Xu Rui succeeds, it will be great. If he can't, we will have nothing to lose."
Gu Shutong nodded and asked, "How are the preparations over there in Jiangbei?"
Wan Xiangyun immediately said: "General, don't worry. The 32nd and 20th main group armies have crossed the Yangtze River and are heading towards Mengcheng and Fuyang day and night. The headquarters has called back and the 20th Army Group near Xuzhou is also heading towards Mengcheng and Fuyang day and night." Going south, as long as nothing goes wrong here in Feicheng, the Japanese group heading north will be doomed."
"We can't take it lightly." Gu Shutong waved his hands and said, "I'm not worried about Feicheng. Xu Rui is still somewhat capable. Since he has stated that he will help defend Feicheng at all costs, then the Wanzhong Advance Brigade can defend Feicheng. Half a month should be no problem, but what I’m worried about is whether Gui Yongqing’s troops near Shangqiu can stop the Japs’ southbound swarm.”
Wan Xiangyun said: "General, Gui Yongqing's 28th Army is based on the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. It is the first-class main force. The whole army has three divisions with more than 30,000 people, and an artillery unit. regiment, not to mention the 74th Army on his flank, it shouldn’t be a problem to combine the strength of the two armies to defend Shangqiu for half a month, right?"
"I hope there won't be any problems." Gu Shutong said, "But I'm always on tenterhooks and feel a little unsure. Well, you'd better send an emergency telegram to Wuhan Xingying and ask the old man to call Gui Yong in person. The Qing Dynasty also sent a telegram to Yu Ji, asking Gui and Yu not to take it lightly."
"Yes." Wan Xiangyun said, "I will send a telegram to Wuhan Xingying immediately."
After saying that, Wan Xiangyun turned around and left. After Wan Xiangyun left, Gu Shutong picked up the briefing issued by Datong News Agency from the table, read it carefully from beginning to end, and then said to himself : Don't say it was unexpected. Xu Rui is really a rare tiger general. It's a pity, it's a pity.
(Dividing line)
Shunroku Hata took the Nakajima G5N Miyama land attack aircraft, passed through Qingdao, and rushed to Nanjing that afternoon without stopping.
All officers of the Central China Front Army Headquarters, including majors and above, headed by Tsukada Gong and Nagai, came to the airport to line up to welcome Hata Shunroku's arrival.
For Shunroku Hata, Gou Tsukada and Nagai have no special favorable impressions, but the young officers are full of expectations because they all graduated from the Army University after Shunroku Hata served as the director of education. In terms of status, these All young officers can be regarded as students of Shunroku Hata.
As soon as Hata Shunroku's thin figure appeared at the door of the cabin, the military band lined up at the airport quickly played Kimiyo, which was like a funeral song. Reporters from various countries who had been waiting on both sides of the red carpet also clicked their shutters, preparing to give Hata Jun Liu took a full-body image to accompany tomorrow's press release.
These reporters even thought about the headline of the news - Will Shunroku Hata make the same mistake as the new coach of the Central China Front Army
It is paradoxical to say that China and Japan have already fought like this, but neither China nor Japan has ever declared war. Therefore, from a legal perspective, China and Japan are not in a state of war, but are still in a state of peace. Therefore, Chinese reporters can even openly come to Nanjing to interview Shunroku Hata. Of course, no Chinese reporter actually dares to do so.
But journalists from Western countries have no scruples.
This time when Shunroku Hata took office, he invited quite a few Western journalists.
After getting off the plane, Shunroku Hata ignored the fatigue of the journey and delivered a heartfelt inaugural speech, saying that he would end the China Incident as soon as possible. After the speech, there was a free question time, and the American Evening News reporter Powell's first A question caught Shunroku Hata off guard.
"Excuse me, General, what do you think of the text message published by the exclusive commentator of Datong News Agency this morning? Do you regard it as a threat to you?"
"Datong News Agency? Text message?" Shunroku Hata looked confused. He spent almost all this day on the plane. How could he know about Datong News Agency's text message? Although Nagayong, Tsukada Kagu and others next to him knew about this Datong News Agency's text message, Text message, but didn’t dare to tell Shunroku Hata.
So Shunroku Hata could only respond casually: "The Imperial Army of Japan will not and cannot respond to these briefings or comments from tabloids, because the Imperial Army of Japan has more important things to do."
Powell did not want to let Shunroku Hata go just like this, and asked again persistently: "General, you mean that the Japanese army will not take the threat of the Dameishan Independent Regiment to heart, right? But as far as I know, the Daimeishan Independent Regiment The Meishan Independent Regiment also issued a threat through a text message from Datong News Agency last time, and half a month later, they indeed recovered Feicheng and posed a serious threat to the Japanese army. I would like to ask, does the General have any comments on this matter?"
"Well..." Hata Shunroku looked at him and said, "The Daimeishan Independent Regiment is indeed a threat that cannot be ignored. However, after all, they are just a regiment, so they cannot pose a fatal threat to the Imperial Japanese Army. As for Feicheng, that was just an accident.”
"Accident?" Powell said, "Then this time the Dameishan Independent Regiment sent a text message through Datong News Agency, threatening your army again, or, to put it more bluntly, the other party actually directly issued a personal threat to you, the general. , will it also lead to another accident?"
Shunroku Hata was confused when he heard this, but he still kept a smile on his face: "The generals of the Imperial Army of Japan have never been afraid of personal threats, so just let him threaten you."
The press conference ended hastily, and Shunroku Hata's good mood was greatly reduced.
Back at the headquarters, Shunroku Hata didn't bother to tidy up the office left by Yuan Sugisugi, and directly called Tsukada Gong and Nagai into his office.
Shunroku Hata asked bluntly: "Tsukada-san, Naga-san, what happened to the Otsusha Newsletter?"
Tsukada did not answer, only winked at Changyong. Changyong had no choice but to pause and said: "Your Excellency, the so-called Datong News Agency is just a radio station under the control of the China Army. As for the threats to you, General, they are just idiots. , General, you don’t need to take it to heart at all.”
"That's not what I want to hear! What I want to know is the content of this text message!" Hata Junroku became anxious and began to cough violently.
Changyong had no choice but to dictate the contents of the text message.
Chang Yong was deeply impressed by the content of this text message. He doubted that he would not be able to forget this text message when he dies in a few decades.
After listening to Changyong's dictation, a sickly flush immediately appeared on Hata Shunroku's thin face. The next moment, Hata Shunroku bent over and coughed violently. The coughing sound was rapid and dense, and Tsukada and Nagasaki could be heard. Yongzhen was worried that Shunroku Hata would be unable to breathe, so he just passed by like this.
Tsukada looked at Shunroku Hata who was coughing so much that he could hardly breathe, and thought to himself: The reason why we dare not tell you the content of this text message is because we are afraid that you will be angry? Now it seems that Xu Rui's goal has been achieved. On the first day he took office, he gave the general a powerful blow!
