"Where is Mayor Yu? Let him come out quickly! We have a plea to say to him. In the procession, Zhao Jun and others took the lead in chanting.

And Lin Rui took Lin Feng and squeezed to the forefront and stopped not far from Shangguan Nianci and the others.

Instead of shouting slogans, he used his keen judgment and observation skills to quietly observe his surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people.

Not long after, Yu Hongjun walked out of the city government building, accompanied by the protection of his secretary and two security guards.

As soon as they saw Yu Hongjun come out, someone in the procession immediately shouted: "Mayor Yu Hongjun has come out, everyone move forward." ”

There was an agitation, and the crowds of students, workers, and other marchers rushed forward.

Seeing this, Wang Huming was startled, and hurriedly commanded his military police to block the procession, and his duty was not only to maintain order, but also to protect the safety of Yu Hongjun and others.

Of course, they didn't dare to let these mixed marches get close to Yu Hongjun.

Yu Hongjun came to a place about 20 meters away from the procession and stopped, Wang Huming walked up to him and said respectfully: "Mayor Yu, for your safety, you can't go any further." ”

Yu Hongjun nodded slightly, then looked ahead, looked around at the crowded crowd of marchers, raised his voice and said loudly: "Students, don't get excited!" If you have any demands, please tell me, and if you can solve it, I will definitely try my best to solve it for you. ”

Zhao Jun was the first to open his voice and said: "Mayor Yu, we got the news that the Japanese brazenly launched an attack on our Beiping Lugou Bridge garrison last night, and have begun to invade our land in North China, is this true?" ”

Yu Hongjun faced everyone and was not easy to lie, so he had to nod and say, "Yes, this matter is true." ”

"Then may I ask Mayor Yu, the enemy has officially invaded, why hasn't our government declared war on Japan yet?" Zhao Jun asked aggressively.

"The government has its own considerations." Yu Hongjun said with some lack of confidence.

"What's the consideration? I think you are too cowardly, the Japanese have already invaded our four northeastern provinces, and now they are going to invade North China, why does the Nationalist Government not dare to resist Japan?

Why not honor the statement of the Double 12 incident? Fighting the war? You have to give an explanation today! A fanatical male student asked aloud with some uncontrollable emotions.

His words caused a large number of students around him to be filled with righteous indignation and arouse their emotions.

From September 18 to the present, the Nationalist Government has adopted a passive policy of appeasement toward Japan, which is very dissatisfying.

In particular, these radical-minded patriotic students have long been complaining.

The outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident was like a match, completely igniting the anger that had been suppressed in the hearts of tens of millions of patriotic young students.

As a result, the thousands of students present protested in unison, denouncing the Nationalist Government for being cowardly towards Japan, not daring, and unwilling to resist the war.

However, Lin Rui understood that these students had wronged Mr. Jiang and his Nationalist Government a little this time.

After the Double 12 Incident, although he was forced, Chairman Chiang did adjust his strategic policy, gradually changing from suppressing the Communist Party to preparing for resistance against Japan.

Especially now, the Nanjing Nationalist Government should already be preparing for the Battle of Songhu.

It won't be long before General Zhang Zhizhong will lead a group of ace German armor divisions of the Central Army to secretly enter the Shanghai area, and launch an active attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai on August 13, thus opening the prelude to the Battle of Songhu.

Yu Hongjun saw that the students and the crowd suddenly became excited, and he was worried that the situation was out of control, so he had to ask the secretary to find a megaphone, and took the loudspeaker to reassure the crowd loudly: "Everyone, please be calm and listen to me." ”

Under Yu Hongjun's continuous shouting, the students gradually stopped shouting and wanted to hear what Yu Hongjun had to say.

Seeing that the students were quiet, Yu Hongjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with a loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yu knows that everyone is a hot-blooded young man who cares about the country and is a good student with progressive thinking.

However, please believe that the government will really have its own considerations and plans, please don't make trouble for the government at this time, go back and study hard, stay useful, and serve the country in the future! ”

Shangguan Nianci opened his mouth and asked: "Mayor Yu, you are also an alumnus of our St. John's, you should understand that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, dare to ask sir, the country will not be a country, and there will be no eggs under the nest, how should we continue to study?"

Now that the Japanese have invaded North China, annihilated our country, and destroyed our race, the wolf's ambition has been clearly exposed, and the matter has reached this point, why does the government not resist Japan? ”

"yes, why don't you resist the Japanese?"

"Chairman Chiang will fight a civil war! Why not resist Japan? ”

Some students in the crowd immediately responded with the chanting, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and some of the students pushed and clashed with the military police who stopped them in front of them.

Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, Yu Hongjun immediately took a megaphone and continued to loudly reassure, but this time no one responded to him.

Students and workers, citizens chanting slogans, waving banners and slogans, kept approaching the city hall building.

Wang Huming commanded the gendarmerie and police, trying his best to block, push, and insult inevitably occurred.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and a gendarmerie policeman who was maintaining order was shot in the forehead and fell straight down.

When the gendarmerie policemen saw that their comrades had been shot and fell, they couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately became furious, and without waiting for Wang Huming's order, they raised their guns one after another and opened fire on the crowd in front of the policeman.

Bang bang bang! At one point, at least a dozen innocent students were shot and fell.

The place where the gun was fired was dozens of meters away from Lin Ruizu, and there was a sea of people in between.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, all the marchers were in a state of confusion, some fled, some wanted to come forward to denounce the gendarmerie police, and the whole situation fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Wang Huming, the captain of the military police, immediately blocked Yu Hongjun and said to him: "Mayor Yu, it's too dangerous here, you withdraw first, and I'll deal with it." ”

Yu Hongjun said: "No matter what, you must not hurt these students and citizens, and let your people stop shooting immediately!" Just go! ”

Wang Huming looked at the subordinates who fired with a heavy face, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Ergou, escort the mayor back, and the others will come with me." ”

"Yes!" Several gendarmes escorted Yu Hongjun and his secretary at gunpoint to the city hall building.

Wang Huming led people to rush to the place where the shooting was fired, and shouted at more than a dozen gendarmes who had fired: "Stop shooting!" ”

Then he kicked a squad leader to the ground: "He. . . , who told you to shoot? They are our compatriots, not Japanese devils! ”

The squad leader of the military police, who was kicked in the head, said with some grievances: "Captain, they shot first, and we only shot after killing one of our brothers." ”

Wang Huming glanced at his subordinates who had fallen to the ground, his eyes were furious, and he turned to look at the bloody and chaotic crowd of students, angrily pulled out the Mauser pistol on his waist, pointed it into the air and fired several shots, and then shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to move, squat on the spot!" ”

The gendarmes present followed suit one after another, raising their guns and shooting into the sky, and in an instant, the gunfire rang out loudly in the sky.

Where had these patriotic students seen such a battle, they were all frightened for a while, and they squatted down one after another.

Wang Huming pointed his pistol at the crowd in front of him and said: "A squadron rushed over and isolated this group of people from me, how can the students have guns, I want to see what kind of dog offal is mixed in here!" Dare to kill Lao Tzu's subordinates. ”
