Chapter 50: The Carnival of the Masses (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Inside the Group Army Headquarters, after Xue Laohu had finished venting his temper.
He immediately ordered his Adjutant to transmit the information about the Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple shelling the Japanese command post to the Special Service Corps in Shanghai.
Inside the Shanghai International Settlement!
Zhang Yunhao looked at the information sent over by the 19th Group Army.
The Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple shelled the Japanese command post.
If it were only a regiment-level command post.
It could not have caused the little Japanese to send telegrams so frequently.
This is very likely a brigade-level one.
Such scenes were playing out on every street in Jinling City.
"Notify Chen Bulei of this battle result as well."
The troops on the front line at Dunwu Temple killed the son of a Japanese Prince.
At the time, it even drew the attention of many frontline troops in Songhu, and everyone was quite bewildered then.
The child selling newspapers shouted loudly.
From ancient times to the modern era, the little Japanese have always been learning from Zhongtu.
Their Zhongtu culture is very deep-rooted, and now the only son of a Japanese Prince has died on the Songhu Battlefield.
"Our National Revolutionary Army is fighting bloody battles; although this is the first time we have killed a Japanese Major General, in future battles..."
"Principal!" Dai Chunfeng called out softly.
"The latest battle results from the Sichuan Army cannot be added."
Far away at the Jinling News Agency, Dai Chunfeng had already arranged for the broadcast of the news that the Sichuan Army had killed the Japanese Sixth Brigade Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki at Dunwu Temple.
"Publicize that our army has won consecutive victories on the Songhu Battlefield!"
The article written by Chen Bulei, the newspaper about the Sichuan Army killing the Japanese Prince's son.
"Captain!"
Watching Principal Chang's happy expression fade, Dai Chunfeng stepped forward and suggested: "Principal!"
As Zhang Yunhao's voice fell, Zhao Zuo also began to send a telegram to Jinling.
Reporting the news that the Sichuan Army had killed the Japanese Sixth Brigade Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki.
"Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki!"
And then have an outsider temporarily command the Sixth Brigade.
After receiving this news, Principal Chang clapped his hands happily.
After his joy, Principal Chang looked at Dai Chunfeng.
When Dai Chunfeng was on his way to the news agency.
The fighting in the Pingjin Region had no signs of improvement, but on the Songhu Battlefield.
"Good... just do it like that!" Principal Chang nodded with satisfaction, "Yunong!"
"I want the people of the whole country to know that our Republic of China Army is also capable of fighting hard battles."
"This student has a suggestion!"
"The telegram has been decrypted."
After leaving Principal Chang's office!
Dai Chunfeng immediately arrived at the news agency of the Nanjing Command.
Scrambling and shouting: "Kid, give me a newspaper."
You must know!
The war has been going on for so long now!
In the Pingjin Region and the Songhu Region, only Chinese General Officers had been killed in action.
"Great victory in Songhu... our army killed Fushimi-no-miya Prince's son, Fushimi-no-miya Haoteng."
"Extra, extra... great victory in Songhu!"
"Hurry up and decrypt it!"
The Republic of China soldiers on the front line saw the spontaneously arriving masses.
The people of the whole country were too excited!
Principal Chang looked at Dai Chunfeng, "What is it?"
Dai Chunfeng was also stunned for a moment.
Dai Chunfeng stepped forward and stood at attention: "This student is here!"
The Sichuan Army defending Dunwu Temple was subjected to a barrage of shelling by the little Japanese artillery group.
It was the masses who told the soldiers.
Zhao Zuo read out the Japanese telegram.
"Principal!"
The troops of the Republic of China High Command had finally achieved some results.
Right now, the Sixth Brigade's Brigade Commander Akiyama Yoshiyuki has been killed in action.
Is broadcasting the latest combat situation on the Songhu Battlefield.
"Yes!" Dai Chunfeng assured Principal Chang, "Principal, this student will certainly handle this matter well."
On the Songhu Battlefield, the Sichuan Army actually created two battle results.
"Yunong!"
That means the little Japanese Prince has no descendants left.
A tiny Dunwu Temple was actually bombarded by tens of thousands of shells from the devils.
"Devils, watch out!"
"Zhao Zuo!"
The Sichuan Army winning two battles in a row truly swept away the gloomy mood of Principal.
Shen Zui arrived at Dai Chunfeng's office once again.
"Kid, I want a newspaper too!"
Principal was overly happy!
"There will surely be countless devil General Officers killed by our army."
"Well bombed!"
Things like melon seeds, peanuts, canned fruit, and so on were all transported to the front lines in one go.
"Include him in the article about killing the devil Prince's son."
"This is the first time since the start of the war that our army has killed a devil General Officer."
Dai Chunfeng reported this good news to Principal without a moment's delay.
Forgot the rules of the publishing house.
There has not yet been any unit that killed a General Officer of the devil's field troops.
In many cities, such as Shanghai, Jinling City, Hangzhou City, Jiangcheng, and others, there was also a carnival among the people.
This time, the national broadcast spread even faster than newspapers.
The broadcast was playing over and over again!
The two Regiment Commanders of the Sixth Brigade were competing for the position of Brigade Commander.
For a time, the people of the entire Shanghai were also boiling with excitement.
"Report this to Director Dai Chunfeng immediately!"
"This Sichuan Army is truly formidable; once they arrived at the Songhu Battlefield, they were all like wolves and tigers."
After sending supplies to the troops, some wealthy families who had firecrackers at home started setting them off to celebrate.
Firecrackers were constantly exploding in the sky.
Some commoners even took out firecrackers to celebrate the killing of the devil Prince's son on the Songhu Battlefield.
Zhang Yunhao was also a little excited.
Jinling!
Having killed the only son of the devil Prince, joy appeared on the faces of many commoners.
The joyful scene was just like the Lunar New Year.
"Good!"
Moreover, this battle result was not small at all.
Many people began to transport supplies to the troops on the Songhu Battlefield front lines.
Not long after Zhang Yunhao left, Zhao Zuo shouted loudly.
"Our Republic of China High Command warns the devils: invaders will have no good end."
"In this morning's battle at Dunwu Temple, the commander of the devil's Sixth Brigade was killed."
At some newspaper agencies in Songhu.
The patriotic enthusiasm of the people suddenly became high.
This is a very significant battle result.
"Great victory at Songhu... The only son of Fushimi-no-miya Prince was killed by our army on the Songhu Battlefield."
Some wealthy families had radios and heard the news agency of the Nanjing Command.
"Principal..." Dai Chunfeng said, "Mr. Bulei has already finished writing the article about our army annihilating the devil Prince's son yesterday evening."
After obtaining the newspapers published within Jinling City, they immediately forwarded them.
"Now broadcasting the latest battle results from the Songhu Battlefield again!"
Having no offspring is... very serious in Zhongtu culture.
Such a major battle result occurred, killing a devil Major General.
Arriving at Zhao Zuo's side, Zhang Yunhao patted his shoulder.
Everyone in the Special Service Corps also stood up and came to Zhao Zuo's side.
"We can issue newspapers while broadcasting to the whole country."
"I will leave the matter of the broadcast to you." Principal looked at Dai Chunfeng with a smile.
Principal nodded, "Speak!"
The distribution of newspapers in Jinling City let many commoners know about the Songhu Battlefield, which had been fought for so long.
People in the streets and alleys heard the shouts of the newspaper-selling children.
Now they finally understood!
It turned out that the only son of the devil Prince had died in battle at Dunwu Temple.
To sum it up, the Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple took out the Brigade Commander of the devil's Sixth Brigade with one shot!
Only to hear a mature and magnetic baritone voice on the broadcast say: "Fellow citizens!"
Now the Sichuan Army has broken this record.
"It is currently being printed and published at the publishing house!"
"Read it to everyone!"
Zhang Yunhao's eyes shone with a sharp light.
Everyone was also unclear about what was going on, and why the public was so enthusiastically coming to the front lines to deliver supplies.
Upon receiving this telegram!
"Here, here, child... come get a newspaper."
Thinking of this!
The people of Shanghai.
Had already begun to spread the word throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling City.
"A unit of the 402nd Brigade, 133rd Division, 20th Army of our National Revolutionary Army."
This was enough to make the public wild with joy.
This was the blossoming of emotions after being suppressed for too long.
