Chapter 108: Shocking the government and the opposition

Chen Jinghui didn't know that the reason why the devils and the puppet army didn't intercept them was because before them, the troupe that gave the puppet army commander a birthday had just left the city. When they entered the city, they claimed to be members of the troupe. So when they ran out of the city again, the puppet army thought that they had fallen behind again, so they didn't intercept them, and let them go out of the city in a grand manner.

"Quick, close the gates."

Less than ten minutes after Chen Jinghui and the others ran out of the city, the city gate received an urgent order from the headquarters to close all the gates of Nanjing City, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

"Order the defenders to immediately search the entire city, and the assassin must be caught."

After the city gate was closed, the commander of the 11th Army, who was also the chief of staff of the Wuhan Battle, Okamura Ningji, immediately ordered all the garrisons and puppet troops in Nanjing to start a city-wide search for Chen Jinghui and them. In his opinion, it had not been long since the incident, and he had closed the city gate in time, and the assassin must still be in the city.

For a time, the devils and the puppet army put the entire city of Nanjing under martial law, and no one was allowed to walk on the streets at will. The frightened petty traders and traders went home and closed their homes.

Bumper bumper

After the whole city was under martial law, the devils and the puppet army began to smash the door from house to house, and as soon as the door opened, they rushed in and looked around without saying a word. If the door is not opened in time, the property will be lost, and at worst, it will be taken back to the gendarmerie for interrogation.

"Hoarse, hoarse."

The devils who walked through the streets and alleys of the city ran around to check around, stirring up the whole city of Nanjing to become restless, and there were cries and shouts everywhere.

"Report, no suspicious person found."

In the evening, the officer in charge of the search returned to report. They have searched the entire city of Nanjing, and no one has found anything.

"Baga, it's all a bunch of waste, can't the enemy fly with wings, go find it for me again."

"Hail"

When Okamura Ninji heard that he had been searching for an afternoon, he found nothing, and he was furious and asked the soldiers to continue the search, and at all costs, they must find the assassin and destroy him. Toshiroku Hatatake, who was a general and the commander of the entire Battle of Wuhan, was now successfully assassinated, and he couldn't explain to the base camp at all.

"Wait, have you checked if there is anything that can be done to get out of the city before the gates are closed?"

"Report, no."

"Baga, then don't go check it out quickly."

It occurred to Okamura that this assassin could be killed with one shot from such a distance, which meant that he was not an easy character, and maybe he could really leave the city before he ordered the gates to be closed.

"It was reported that two suspicious people did leave the city at noon."

Ten minutes later, the devil officer just now came back to report. He asked the guards at the gate that at noon, after Shunroku Hata was killed, two people left the city in a hurry, still holding two rectangular boxes in their hands.

"Yaga, why don't you intercept it."

"They said that those two people had invited the opera troupe, so they didn't stop them."

"Baga, immediately take people out of the city to chase after me, and block all the stations and docks outside the city for me."

"Hail"

"Yaga, Yaga."

Hearing that it was very likely that the assassin had left the city, Okamura Ninji was furious. He couldn't believe that he had let the Assassin swagger out of the city under his nose. He can only make amends now, and it is not too late to hope.

Chen Jinghui had long expected that after the devils found out that they had left the city, they would immediately block all traffic to get there, and they had already reached places such as stations and docks. Therefore, he did not go to these places after leaving the city, but took Wei Hua directly into the mountains and forests, preparing to escape to the next few county towns to take a boat back.

And the devil imposed martial law in the whole city like this, which immediately attracted the attention of all intelligence agencies. They began to use all their connections to inquire around about what was going on in Nanjing, and they were under martial law in broad daylight, and they searched and arrested the whole city, not letting go of any corner.

Di Di Di ......

In the middle of the night, the intelligence agents who had already identified the original began to send telegrams to their respective organizations, reporting the assassination of Shunroku Hatata. The originally quiet night began to become unquiet, and radio signals of different frequencies floated over the entire city of Nanjing.

"Bureau, Bureau, wake up, you have important information."

When the military commander received the telegram from Nanjing, he immediately went to Dai Li's door to pass on the news as soon as possible.

Dai Li's eyes widened when he opened the door and saw the telegram. He didn't have time to pass on his coat, and immediately headed for the commander's mansion.

"Stop, someone."

"I, the military commander Dai Li, have important military information to report to the principal, please report it immediately."

As soon as he walked to the gate of the General's Mansion, Dai Li was stopped by the guards at the door. After saying the reason for the ranking, the guards immediately called Commander Jiang up.

"Yulong! Is there anything important about you that you can't talk about tomorrow! ”

Commander Chiang, who had been busy all day, couldn't sleep for the sake of the war on the front line. I finally fell asleep, but I was woken up, so I showed a very unhappy expression on my clothes.

"Headmaster, look at this, I just got the news."

"Huh!? Shunroku Hata is dead? ”

When the commander in chief saw the news that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army's Wuhan battle, General Shunliu Hata, and the news that he had been killed at noon today, he was shocked and couldn't believe it. Shunroku Hata is a general, and it is not easy to assassinate a general, but how can he be killed so easily.

"Headmaster, I have confirmed this news, and it is absolutely true. Today, the entire city of Nanjing is under martial law, and the whole city is searching for someone. If it weren't for the killing of Shunroku Hatata, the devil wouldn't be like this. ”

"Hmmm! What you said makes sense, immediately call Li Zongren and Chen Cheng over, quickly. ”

If Shunroku Hata is really dead, there will be an incongruity in the movement of the devil's front-line troops. In this case, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he can't let it go.

"Commander, you're looking for us."

"Well, look at this, Yulong just brought it."

"What, Shunroku Hata is dead. I don't know who did it to give us such a big gift. ”

"Yulong, do you know who did it?"

"I'm sorry principal, I don't know yet, we're stepping up time to investigate."

"Commander, do you see if it will be someone sent by Yan'an."

Since Dai Li didn't know who did it, it was definitely not done by the military commander. At present, they are only Yan'an who is fighting head-on, so Li Zongren guessed whether Yan'an sent someone to assassinate Shunroku Hata in order to respond to the battle of Wuhan.

"It's not impossible. Come and send a report to Yan'an and ask them if they know what's going on. ”

Commander Jiang listened to Li Zongren's words and felt that there was some truth, so he immediately ordered someone to send a telegram to Yan'an to inquire.

Then he asked Dai Li to continue to investigate the matter, and he, Li Zongren, and Chen Cheng began to plan how to use this opportunity to beat the devil and extinguish the arrogance of the devil.

"O Chairman! Commander Chiang in Chongqing asked us if we had sent someone to do this, and how should we deal with him. ”

Deputy Commander Zhou of Yan'an also received a telegram in the middle of the night that Shunroku Hata had been assassinated, and called Commander Mao and the commander-in-chief to discuss the matter in Commander Mao's office. Originally, they thought that the military commander sent someone to do it, but now the one in Chongqing asked them again, which made them even more confused, and they couldn't understand who was so powerful that he could successfully kill a devil general.

"You have to ask people to check on this matter, no matter what kind of person he is, he dares to assassinate the devil general, and we have to admire."

"Lao Mao is right, such a person has to be admired. I saw that the telegram said that the devil had quit smoking for a day and was still searching. That means they haven't caught the guy yet, or they wouldn't have been. Lao Zhou, you should pay attention, if that person is still in Nanjing City, let our people have a chance to help. ”

"Naturally, anyone who kills devils is our friend, so I'll arrange it."

The three major minds of Yan'an all felt that the person who assassinated Shunroku Hata was a hero, and everyone had to be in awe and learn from him.

"Report, Yan'an call back."

"Well, I'll see."

Commander Chiang, who was discussing the war with Li Zongren and Chen Cheng, heard Yan'an's call, and immediately took the telegram to read it, and found that he didn't know who did it. He slowly walked to the window and looked at the moonlight outside, and stood thoughtfully by the window.

"Commander, what do you say over there?"

Li Zongren saw Commander Jiang's contemplative appearance, and he didn't know what the telegram said, so he could only lower his voice and ask recklessly.

"See for yourself."

"Huh? They don't know either. ”

"What do you think about this?"

Commander Jiang couldn't think of anything for a while, so he simply asked Li Zongren and Chen Cheng what they thought of this matter.

"Commander, in my opinion, we should make a lot of propaganda in the newspapers, we really need such an example to boost morale."

"Commander Li is right, through propaganda, it can not help but boost the morale of the front-line soldiers, and can also increase the confidence of the people in the government, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."

"But what if the people ask us who the hero is?"

"That'...... Then we will say that it is to protect the safety of the hero, and it is inconvenient to disclose. ”

"Okay, that's it, notify the major newspapers immediately, and you must see the newspaper tomorrow. At the same time, he told Dai Li, I had to find out who did this. ”

After discussion, Commander-in-Chief Chiang finally decided to hype up the matter and maximize his influence. Because this can not only enhance the morale of the soldiers, but also increase the cohesion of the people. More importantly, it can increase the status of the national government in the eyes of the people, which is conducive to their rule.
