Xia Chao returned to Wuhan and handed over the materials to Chen Shuming. www.biquge.info He immediately organized people to develop the photographs, compiled the materials, and reported them to the Political Department of the Central Military Commission. The Political Department is responsible for news censorship, and such a major incident must be reported.

Political Minister Chen Cheng received the materials and was furious, and immediately wanted to lock Xia Chao in confinement.

Zhou Enlai, deputy minister of the Political Department, read the materials and said: "This is a good thing, why should he be confined?" He didn't know the relationship between Chen Cheng and Xia Chao, so he asked.

Chen Cheng had already regarded Xia Chao as his son-in-law. Xia Chao went to do the work of a small soldier as a lieutenant general, in case something happened, what would his daughter do? However, you can't say these words to Zhou Gong.

He said: "Enlai, you don't know, he was a dignified lieutenant general of the national army in the summer, and he was a national hero, who went deep behind enemy lines and risked his life. In the event of an accident, it will be a big blow to the enthusiasm of the people to resist Japan. Do you think he deserves to be punished? ”

Zhou Enlai was shrewd and felt that Chen Cheng had a special relationship with Xia Chao. You think, the Xia Dynasty is not under the direct jurisdiction of Chen Cheng, and he has no right or obligation to blame the Xia Dynasty. The only explanation is that Chen Cheng cares about the summer dynasty.

"You have a point," he said. Xia Chao really shouldn't be in danger. However, the current situation is sinister, the anti-Japanese atmosphere of the people is sluggish, and the arrogance of the capitulation faction is rising. This victory of the summer dynasty should be vigorously publicized to boost the national spirit and boost the morale of the anti-Japanese resistance. ”

Chen Cheng just said that he was very satisfied with Xia Chao. He thought that Zhou En's words were right, so he said: "Yes, we must vigorously publicize it." Immediately, he wrote instructions and reported them to Chairman Chiang.

When Chairman Chiang received the report, he was a little emotional.

From December 1910 to October 1911, after graduating from Zhenwu School, Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang Zhiqing) entered the 19th Wing of the Field Artillery of the 13th Division as a "non-commissioned officer candidate" for internship.

He said: "The 13th Division is a veteran division with strong combat effectiveness, and the Continental Soldiers are very experienced generals, but I didn't expect to die in the hands of the Celestial Empire." ”

He couldn't say what kind of emotion it was. However, now that China and Japan are at war, he naturally knows what to do. He instructed that it should be vigorously publicized. And let Chen Bui also participate in the propaganda work.

Chen Bui summoned Chen Shuming, checked some details, and held a press conference.

At the press conference, the spokesman of the Propaganda Department of the Nationalist Government first gave a detailed account of the atrocities committed by Takeshi Ribing, Takeshi Noda, and Toshiaki Mukai, and the materials were very detailed. Many journalists who don't know the truth grit their teeth with hatred. Even journalists who had known about the news hated the atrocities of the Japanese invaders.

A reporter from the JoongAng Ilbo said: "We must expose the atrocities of the Japanese army and let the general public understand the murderous nature of the Japanese invaders. ”

A female reporter from Wuhan Daily said: "One day, we will have to pay back their blood debts. ”

The reporters were talking a lot, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

It is no wonder that since the start of the war, in addition to the Tiger Ben Regiment, the predecessor of the Tiger Brigade, which has achieved a larger victory, it is the Pingxingguan victory of the Eighth Route Army. And then it was all bad news. The Nanjing Massacre, the Yangzhou Massacre, this tragedy, that tragedy, all of them were such uncomfortable news that reporters were reluctant to publicize it.

Today's press conference, this beginning, is such news again, everyone is angry, but there is no interest in publicity. In addition to damaging the morale of China's anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, what other effect can such news be published?

Most journalists decided not to do the story.

At this time, a reporter from the "Hunan Daily" said: "The Japanese invaders are so rampant, what are our soldiers doing, why do we let the Japanese invaders run rampant and domineering, why don't we crack down on their arrogance?" ”

A reporter from the Zhejiang Daily, who retreated to Wuhan, said: "Our hometown has been ravaged by devils, what did the Tiger Ben Regiment do? What did the Demon Operators do? What are you doing in the summer? ”

His words resonated, and everyone always thought that we always propagated the brutality of the devils, so why didn't anyone come out to fight the arrogance of the Japanese invaders?

At this time, the spokesman of the Propaganda Department said: "Everyone, be quiet, and now I will invite someone to answer your questions." ”

Chen Shuming stood up.

Chen Shuming attended a press conference on behalf of the former Tiger Ben Troupe, and everyone knows him. Now seeing him come out, everyone intuitively feels that there must be important news released. The reporters immediately perked up.

Chen Shuming said: "Fellow journalists, what I want to tell you is that Chinese soldiers are not a bad breed, and the Tiger Brigade is not easy to bully, and I can clearly tell you that several Japanese villains mentioned by the spokesman of the Propaganda Department of the State Government just now, Hou Zhou Libing, Noda Takeshi, and Mukai Toshiaki, have been eliminated by our Tiger Brigade Demon Special Combat Team!" ”

His words immediately caused an uproar. The reporters were excited, and everyone asked, "Is it true?" ”

Chen Shuming said affirmatively: "Of course it is true, and then I will show relevant evidence." ”

Everyone cheered, applause, and screams were endless. Many people wept.

Since the start of the war, many families have been destroyed, and many of these reporters have also lost their relatives, and their hatred for devils is extremely deep.

When Chen Shuming talked about the execution of Takeshi Noda and Toshiaki Mukai by Ling Chi, some reporters fell to their knees at once, crying and reporting to their dead relatives. The scene was chaotic.

After everyone's emotions stabilized, Chen Shuming gave a detailed account of what happened, and showed photos, military ID, epaulettes and other physical evidence.

Journalists are boiling again. Suddenly, a reporter shouted: "Long live the Tiger Brigade!" Someone immediately shouted.

Now, Chen Shuming is frightened, this is terrible, he wants to cause trouble! Is hooray a casual shout? If you don't get it right, you can anger Chairman Jiang, this is terrible!

Chen Shuming immediately said: "Fellow journalists, it is right for the Tiger Brigade to do such a thing, and all Chinese soldiers will do this, and it is not worthy of such praise." Long live the anti-Japanese army and people, long live the Chinese nation. ”

After the press conference, the good news was widely publicized in the major newspapers in Wuhan, and the news was also reprinted in various parts of the country. It greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese military and civilians.

Due to the special identities of Takeshi Noda and Toshiaki Mukai, this incident also caused an uproar in Japan. The fact that the civilian heroes in the eyes of the Japanese were actually executed by the Chinese Ling Chi left a shadow in their hearts and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese people.

The Japanese Emperor Hirohito was so angry that he once again rebuked the War Ministry and Matsui Ishone. and dismissed Matsui Ishine from his position, let him retire, and return to his hometown of Atami City to retire.

In the summer, he returned to the Tiger Brigade and stepped up his training. Soon, he received a telegram from Li Zongren.
