"Nickname Wai ...... General Su Jin issued another declaration that if the Japanese army dared to take the people in the city hostage again, the Independent Brigade would not hesitate to release poison gas in its full name, and would rather let the people die under the poison gas than let them die in the despicable conspiracy of the Japanese! ”

"Nickname Wai ...... The poisonous gas general finally showed his true colors, and he did not hesitate to threaten with poisonous gas! ”

On April 2, 1939, a tabloid newspaper in Chongqing disclosed a piece of news, and it stands to reason that there was too much gossip in recent years, and the gossip was flying all over the sky, and it was a tabloid newspaper, so no one should pay attention to it. But in fact, on the contrary, under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, this news soon spread throughout Chongqing, and then throughout China in less than a day, as for why it spread so quickly, the reason is very simple, this news is so powerful that our Soviet Brigade actually issued a threat of biological and chemical weapons to the Japanese.

In the face of the threat of the Su Brigade, the Japanese were naturally unhappy, they were always the only ones who threatened others, and when it was the turn of others to threaten him, the unhappy Japanese spread the news, and soon everyone knew about it. So the whole country was in an uproar one day.

"Bang ......"

As the sound of slapping the table sounded in the office, the familiar national scolding also sounded.

"Niang Xipi...... It's just too nonsense...... It's so nonsense...... I'm going to punish him severely! ”

At this time, in the office of the Jiang family's official residence, Chairman Jiang stood behind the desk blowing his beard and glaring, in front of the desk stood He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Chen Bui and Chen Lifu and other government officials, and on the desk a newspaper happened to face everyone, and a line of words was clearly written on the huge headline in black bold letters: Su Jin's poison gas threat!

Chairman Chiang had a bad temper, which was well known, and he was not only impatient and prone to temper tantrums, but also scolded and beat people whenever he was not satisfied. punches and kicks, very skilled, even his henchmen Wang Shihe, the head of the guard, and Zhu Peiji, the guard officer, are often scolded and beaten. And Jiang also brought back to China a habit when he was studying in Japan, that is, when the chief beat his subordinates, the subordinates could only stand up and were not allowed to dodge, and now everyone saw that their boss began to lose his temper again, and their hearts began to cry bitterly, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky this time.

After Chairman Jiang scolded a few words, he saw that everyone was silent. With a sweep of his eyes, he saw Chen Cheng with his head down, his eyes immediately widened, and he said with a straight face: "Cixiu, Su Sansi was brought out by you, and now that he has made such a mistake, don't you, the former commander of the Ninth War Zone, have nothing to say?" ”

"I ......"

Chen Cheng was dumb all of a sudden, Su Jin came out of the Ninth War Zone, and now he is still under the command of the Ninth War Zone, and he usually takes great care of Su Jin. He really has nothing to argue with when Chairman Chiang says this.

"What, aren't you going to say anything?" Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't speak, Chairman Jiang snorted coldly and walked up to him and asked.

Seeing that Chen Cheng was deflated, Chen Lifu and Chen Bui on the side did not dare to intercede for him. And He Yingqin was secretly happy in his heart, and it was too late, let alone intercede for him.

Just as Chairman Jiang was about to turn his face, a soft footstep came, and a gentle and kind voice sounded: "Darling." Why are you losing your temper again, can't you say it properly if you have something to say? ”

As the voice came, a slender figure walked in from outside. Look at the arrival. Everyone who was originally silent greeted the visitor respectfully: "Hello, madam! ”

The person who came was Chairman Jiang's wife, and I saw that she looked down-and-out and generous, which made people respect her at first sight.

Madame Chiang had a very high cultural upbringing. On weekdays, she always combs a bun on her head, the cheongsam is close-fitting, the coat is fit, she wears high heels, she walks lightly on the road, every time she meets others, she is always smiling, approachable, she never feels that she suddenly appears, nor does she feel any arrogance, and she does not feel restrained when talking to her. She speaks tactfully and moderately, and her voice is never heavy. When she talks to others, she always only lets them hear clearly, that is, she never makes a loud voice and commands. In fact, both Chairman Chiang's political enemies and his enemies had to admit that Madame Chiang was a very attractive woman.

I saw Mrs. Jiang walk in softly and said to her husband in a slightly reproachful tone: "Darling, why are you losing your temper again?" Ci Xiu and Jing Zhi are your right-hand men, Zu Yan and Yan are the pillars of the country, how can you scold them at will. ”

Chairman Jiang and his wife have always had a good relationship, and seeing that Mrs. was blamed, he snorted lightly and said, "Madam, you don't know, what they did made me angry too much. There is such a big thing in the Ninth War Zone, and he can't get away with it, who am I not scolding him? ”

Madame Jiang asked curiously, "What happened to the Ninth War Zone?" ”

"See for yourself!" After speaking, the chairman handed over the newspaper on the table.

Mrs. Jiang took the newspaper and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "This Su Sansi is still so good at causing trouble, and he actually threatens the Japanese." ”

"Madame, you're still smiling!" Seeing that his wife was not angry but laughed, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but say dissatisfiedly: "Do you know that it is because of his statement that the government is very passive, and now many newspapers are scolding us, saying that we are a group of butchers who do not know how to sympathize with the people, and they actually poison their own people. ”

Seeing her husband so angry, Mrs. Jiang also said with a straight face: "The Lord taught us in the Old Testament: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot. Since the Japanese are using our people as meat shields to threaten our siege troops, what choice should you make if you are in the position of Su Sansi? Do you really want to give up the siege? If we retreat this time, won't it make the Japanese get carried away, so I think it's right to think twice, and we must use tough means to counterattack the Japanese, otherwise they will get more and more inched, have you forgotten the lessons of these years? ”

Hearing his wife's persuasion, the chairman's originally gloomy face also softened, and he snorted lightly: "I don't understand what you said, but what makes me angry is that the attitude of these newspapers is to condemn the government and condemn Su Sansi one-sidedly, as if Su Jin has done something angry and resentful, and he actually speaks from the position of the Japanese, and accuses the government of blaming Su Sansi vigorously, which is really unusual." ”

Madame Jiang chuckled and said, "Darling, don't you know those literati yet? For thousands of years, they have always been this temperament, thinking that they are standing on the commanding heights of morality, and they are all passionate and generous when they point out the country, and they are all Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Liu Bowen are alive, but they are all dumbfounded when they really let them do something, isn't it too unworthy for you to be angry with these people? ”

Hearing this, Chen Lifu also stepped forward and said: "Chairman, Madame is right, these newspapers accuse the government and Su Jin at the same time, there is no reason why the Japanese are behind them, and we must not fall for them." We must first stabilize our position, and now the crux of the problem is that Su Jin and Chen Anbao's troops have already attacked Nanchang City and occupied the entire northern part of the city, so the Japanese panicked, so they used this trick to make us mess up, and we must not fall for them. ”

"Yes, Chairman!" Chen Bui also persuaded: "Anyway, the current fact is that we are about to recover Nanchang, and we don't reward the soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line, how can we reprimand those meritorious soldiers in the back, doesn't this make the soldiers feel cold?" ”

"Hmm!" After thinking about it, he said to Chen Cheng: "Cixiu, you immediately issue an order in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to commend the 29th Army and the Independent Security Brigade that are besieging the city, and after you go back, you will immediately let the Propaganda Department run and issue a commendation order in the Central Daily to strongly criticize and condemn these fallacies!" ”

"Yes......"

In some periods, the government's counterattack was also very fast, and the next day the Central Daily published an article written by Chen Bui himself, in which he pointed out that the Japanese were holding the people in the war zone as hostages and meat shields when they were at a disadvantage in the war, which in itself was an act that violated international norms and the bottom line of morality, and the reason why General Su Jin issued that kind of statement was a counterattack to this despicable act, and no one could say that he had done wrong. Therefore, the Nationalist Government will not only not punish him, but on the contrary, it will give a commendation to this general government who is fighting for the country.

As soon as this statement from the Central Daily came out, it could be regarded as a slap in the face to the people who were desperately pouring dirty water on Su Jin, whether they wanted it or not, now the government's attitude has come out, if they continue to talk about Su Jin, they will not be able to get along with the central government. Although the newspaper atmosphere during the Republic of China was much more liberal than that of later generations, no one dared to talk nonsense about such major matters of right and wrong, and the matter quickly subsided.

It's just that the Chinese side has calmed down, but the Japanese side has begun to fry the pot. Soon, Okamura Ninji and even the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Tada Jun, received a telegram of accountability from the base camp, ordering them to immediately explain the matter.

In the face of the harshly worded telegram from the base camp, Tada Jun and Ishihara Waner also couldn't sit still, and took a plane to Wuhan overnight.

15 p.m. on April 3

In April, the weather in Wuhan was still a little cold, and a passenger plane converted from an army "100" transport plane landed at the Lantian Airport in Hankou. (To be continued.) )
