Chapter 710: The Face of a Politician
The small village was swallowed up by the waves of the flood in an instant, and countless broken stones, wooden blocks, and beams were smashed by the tide like a tsunami!
"Yaga ......"
The Japanese soldiers outside the village saw this scene of the collapse of the sky, and they all let out a terrified howl, in the face of the ** people, they can always move forward bravely without fear of death, but in the face of the power of heaven and earth, they have no power to resist at all.
"Quick, get in touch with HQ!"
The squad leader roared with tears in his eyes, and the hurricane provoked by the rumbling tide slapped over as if solid, completely destroying and engulfing them in the next second!
Seen from above, the yellow-brown torrent was like a wanton demon dragon, crisscrossing this devastated land, and everything in its pass, villages, trees, and people, was completely destroyed in an instant, and then completely submerged in the flood.
"Flood, flood, the Yellow River burst...... Ahh......hh
The piercing wails of the pre-death were heard, followed by the roar of a landslide, and finally, it was all silence.
All the officers in the temporary headquarters of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army fell into complete panic and stupor at this moment, they did not expect that the Chinese army would resolutely blow up the embankment regardless of the lives of tens of millions of people, just to block their offensive.
"Yaga ......"
On the first day, the Japanese army Shaozuo's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "The government of China is always trying its best to exaggerate the cruelty and viciousness of our imperial army, but I didn't expect them to be much more vicious than our imperial army......"
"Quick, send a report immediately, withdraw to the nearest county seat, and avoid the flood!"
However, Kenji Dohihara reacted immediately, and immediately gave a loud order, and at the same time sent an urgent telegram to the North China Command to convey the danger of the Yellow River bursting its embankment.
He was very sure that the Chinese army must have evacuated its troops to a safe place regardless of the lives of the people, but his own people did not get the slightest information, and now it is not only his own 14th Division, after he captured Kaifeng, the military headquarters sent the 16th Division to assist in the pursuit in order to expand the results of the battle, and now, his two troops are in the Yellow Flood Zone!
Remembering the tragic situation of the flooded Seventh Army in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he had seen, he thought that the elite troops of the empire had also suffered such a tragic disaster.
"What? Eight grid tooth road! ”
Hearing the report of the 14th Division, the Japanese army headquarters scolded again and again, they originally planned to take Zhengzhou and then use the war situation to force the government to negotiate peace, once the peace talks were successful, they turned around and attacked to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army and the independent regiment of the Sichuan Army, but now this sudden situation completely shattered their dream.
"****** this person, his heart is too vicious!"
In addition to anger on Terauchi Shouyi's face, it was painful, not only because the other party wanted to use water instead of soldiers to inflict heavy losses on the pursuing emperor's ** team, but also because of the other party's order, which actually ignored the huge disaster caused by the bursting of the Yellow River, tens of millions of people will die because of this, and the living will also fall into hell because of this.
Although he knew very well that too many people had died because of the wars launched by the Empire, even they definitely did not have the courage to cause the death of millions or tens of millions of people at once.
"******, it's over......"
Nishio Shou made a way, he knew that maybe the Jiang government's move was to block the offensive of the empire, exchanging space for time, maybe it would also achieve part of the purpose, and even cause a lot of casualties to the imperial army.
But the people of China will never forgive a leader who has taken their lives like a mustard!
When peace comes, the people will remember not the bloodshed of war, but the disasters and the blood they have suffered, but the wounds and pains they have suffered, and the hatred of the person who made them suffer so much.
The 14th Division, led by Kenji Dohihara, finally withdrew into Zhongmu County, and the flood followed them, drowning many Japanese troops and sweeping them away.
The Japanese sappers used sandbags to mobilize crowds to block the city gates, gaps, and use the city walls to resist the flood, looking at the turbulent floods outside the city, these Japanese soldiers couldn't help but secretly rejoice, glad that they could evacuate back.
The 16th Division successfully withdrew into Weishi County because it received information about the Yellow River's breach in advance, but many small units of troops engaged in division and interspersed operations, as well as those people who were in the Yellow Flood area without any news at all, were not so lucky.
The width of the entire Yellow Flood Area reached sixty or seventy miles, and there were waves and floods in all directions, and they had no way to escape.
Among them, the lucky ones were stoned to death and drowned in the first place, and many people were swept up in the flood wailing and struggling, but they could not get out at all, and it was foreseeable that sooner or later they would die in the icy flood and then turn into floating corpses.
Even if the luckiest of them survive the flood, they will not be doomed.
In such a time, in the midst of the confrontation between the two armies, it was impossible for them to receive any assistance, and the flood completely destroyed all their belongings, with no money, no food, no drinking water......
There are also large areas of dead people who have no time to be buried, which will definitely cause a large-scale plague, and at that time, the entire Yellow Flood Area and the surrounding areas will be starved and scattered......
What awaits them is still a hellish world, where the heavens and the earth are not spiritual, wailing and struggling in this hellish world, and finally turning into corpses starving to death......
Major domestic newspapers such as "Declaration", "Ta Kung Pao", and "Republic of China Daily" have condemned the serious atrocities of the Japanese army in blowing up the embankment of the Yellow River and causing the Yellow River to burst and flood.
China's Xinhua Daily also took part in the denunciation of the enemy's atrocities and called for relief to the affected compatriots.
The telegram of 12 June in Xinhua Ribao was entitled "The Battlefield in Eastern Henan: The Enemy Has Broken the Yellow River Embankment Due to Repeated Offenses, and the Yellow River Has Been Destroyed in a Turbulent Place, and the Enemy Vainly Tries to Destroy Our Combat Strength" and "The Situation in Eastern Henan Has Gradually Stabilized, and Our Enemy Holds Each Other Near Baisha." On 13 June, the "Xinhua Daily" issued another telegram entitled "The enemy who invaded Xinzheng has been repulsed, the violent enemy is still breaking embankments everywhere, Zhongmu and Baisha are flooding, and tens of thousands of victims of the disaster are gathering in Zheng."
Chairman Chiang even made a nationwide radio speech with tears in his eyes, bitterly denouncing the crimes of the Japanese army, saying: "In the face of the stubborn resistance of our army, the Japanese invaders will not die in the heart of our nation, and in the face of the stubborn resistance of our army, they have actually ignored the lives of millions of people and blew up the entrance of the garden to cause a catastrophe.
