Chapter 1083: My Territory, My Decision (4)

On the morning of the next day, large-scale anti-Japanese demonstrations took place throughout the country, among which the 100,000-person demonstrations jointly sponsored by major schools and trade union organizations from all walks of life in Nanjing and Pingjin were the grandest.

By 9:30 a.m., the number of people marching in Nanjing had exceeded 150,000 people, and countless teachers, students, workers, merchants, craftsmen, and citizens inside and outside the city held high banners with slogans and banners, shouted earth-shattering anti-Japanese slogans, and protested angrily along the main streets.

However, the patriotic procession in the Pingjin area was obstructed by the military and police organized by the Nationalist Government in every possible way, and the excited patriotic students clashed fiercely with the military and police; the Japanese secret services, which had long been premeditated, sent thousands of traitors to carry out-for-tat demonstrations in the midst of the chaos, and the Japanese ronin and Goryeo sticks hidden in the ranks of the traitors constantly brandished long knives and sticks, and launched sneak attacks and assassinations against unarmed patriotic teachers, students, and workersHundreds of teachers, students, and representatives of the masses were arrested by the military and police, and tens of thousands were injured.

Almost at the same time, yesterday's traitor organization, which had found the wrong target and brazenly attacked the government offices in Baoding, gathered more than 800 people again, held aloft banners with the slogan "North China Autonomy," and flocked to the gate of the 17 th Army Headquarters of the Baoding Military Station in a vigorous manner, abusing and personally attacking the officers and men of the guards. Hundreds of traitors in the rear picked up stones and bricks under the wild shouts of Japanese and Korean ronin, and kept smashing at the gate of the military station.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the officer leading the team urgently issued an order to withdraw into the courtyard, and more than a dozen heavily armed officers and soldiers rushed into the compound in embarrassment amid the rain of bricks and stones.

Seeing this, the traitors' confidence was greatly boosted, and dozens of traitor leaders in front of them were already dizzy in the furious shouting, and when they saw that most of the officers and soldiers were wounded and retreated in embarrassment, they no longer knew the height of the sky, they shouted in unison, and rose up in pursuit, trying to clean up the 17th officers and soldiers like yesterday's frenzied beating of the gendarmes in the city, and hundreds of traitors in the rear of the shock team also roared with all their might, staring at blood-red eyes, and rushing into the camp like a tide.

That's when an unexpected scene happened!

"Lie down!"

The guards who fled into the courtyard without their lives fell down in unison after a thunderous roar, rolling to both sides with skillful movements and amazing speed, and the three assault vehicles in front of them drove quickly, and the machine gunners on the cars aimed at the almost crazy impact traitors, slammed the trigger, and three tongues of fire erupted, and the dense rain of bullets beat the black pressure rushing traitors to the point of blood splashing, and they fell to death in pieces.

Above the buildings on both sides of the courtyard, more than 30 snipers suddenly appeared to pick out the strange-looking and agile targets among the traitors who were scattered, and opened fire, in just more than ten seconds, more than 800 traitors were knocked down nearly half, and the rest all howled in horror, turned around and ran wildly, the scene was full of blood and mist, and the screams were endless.

Two cameras, hidden in the heights, worked non-stop from start to finish, faithfully recording the entire course of events.

The dense machine-gun fire suddenly stopped, and more than 300 officers and men of the Independent Division's guard regiment rushed out of their hiding places amid the angry roar of division commander Wu Liheng, picked up their submachine guns, and ruthlessly launched strafing fire after the fleeing traitors, and pursued them until they reached the edge of the avenue more than 70 meters outside the gate of the camp before they stopped.

In the end, there were less than 100 of the more than 800 traitors who escaped, and if it weren't for the soldiers' worries about stray bullets accidentally injuring innocent people, I am afraid that not a single traitor would have survived.

The gunfire stopped, the smoke cleared, the corpses inside and outside the barracks gate were strewn everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and the wails of the wounded traitors were earth-shattering, one after another.

Hundreds of soldiers turned around, launched a dragnet search, tied up all the traitors who fell to the ground and deceived them to death, and sent them to the barracks, and sent the seriously injured traitors to Huangquan one by one.

A few minutes later, more than a dozen military trucks drove to the camp gate, and the soldiers threw the corpses on the carts, and quickly cleaned up all the corpses.

As soon as the truck full of corpses drove away, four fire trucks from the military station rumbled, seven or eight water hoses washed the ground, and more than 300 soldiers carried brooms to clean up the blood stains in a quick and orderly manner.

This scene was extremely shocking, and the reporters from all over the world and thousands of onlookers who were watching from afar trembled all over, and they were drenched in cold sweat, and the rich smell of blood wafted in the air for a long time, and countless vomiting and exclamations gradually came at this time.

Hu Jialin and the generals and colonels of the 17th Army were still unsatisfied, and immediately interrogated the more than 200 surviving traitors who had been captured.

The officers and men of the Independent Brigade of the Independent Division then drove to the inside and outside of Baoding, imposed martial law on the whole city, blocked all roads, checked passers-by, and arrested and detained all those who could not provide identification.

The station guard regiment smoothly controlled the station and the north-south railway hub, prohibiting the passage of all trains, and temporarily monitoring all passenger trains.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the three channels of the South Sichuan Radio Station suddenly suspended their normal programs and solemnly reported the shocking news to Chinese and foreign audiences, severely condemning the crimes of the traitor organization in attacking important military sites and attacking the officers and men of the garrison, and unequivocally supporting the officers and men of the 17th Army in decisively suppressing the "monstrous crime of organizing and premeditating attacks on the main camps of the state army in an attempt to subvert state power and the cornerstone of national defense."

When the news was broadcast, the whole country was jubilant, the procession in Nanjing excitedly shouted the slogan "Long live the 17th Army," the suppressed demonstrations in Beiping and Tianjin were set off again, and tens of thousands of teachers, students, and patriotic people from all walks of life fearlessly rushed into the streets, raising their eyebrows and shouting slogans to support the decisive suppression of the 17 th Army of the Central Army, and the traitor forces were deterred and suppressed as never before.

In the Beiping Branch of the Central Political Conference at the entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane in Beiping, He Yingqin and his generals were stunned and colorless when they heard the news; In the Pingjin Garrison Headquarters, more than a dozen generals such as Song Zheyuan and Yu Xuezhong, who were holding a meeting to urgently discuss quelling the student tide, heard the report and were stunned for a long time, and cold sweat broke out. At this time, they finally saw the iron-blooded methods and unstoppable killing spirit of Hu Jialin and the officers and men of the 17th Army, and finally realized the terrible slaughter and strong spirit of this army that had been silent.

In the compound of the central government in Nanjing, Wang Jingwei, who was "shocked by the great changes," fell into a chair and was speechless for a while, President Lin Sen's cane fell to the ground, still unconscious, and the whole hall was silent one by one, hanging his head and holding his breath.

In the headquarters of the former enemy in Guiyang, Chiang Kai-shek was briefly stunned after hearing the urgent report, and then slapped his palm on the table and shouted loudly:

"Hu Jialin of Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu really didn't cultivate you in vain, happy!"

After the case was filmed, Chiang Kai-shek realized his gaffe, coughed lightly, and ordered loudly: "Instruct Hu Jialin to immediately telegraph the details of the incident and the means to deal with the aftermath!" In addition, he called the Nanjing General Staff Headquarters and ordered Vice Minister An Yi to convene an emergency meeting to come up with appropriate countermeasures as soon as possible! ”

In the conference room on the second floor of the fourth hall of the General Staff Headquarters in the compound of the Central Military Commission in Nanjing, an Yi dictated a telegram order that was quickly sent to Baoding, and the liaison office of the General Staff Headquarters also sent a more detailed notice on the course of the incident and the military's characterization of this vile and violent incident to major newspapers and overseas news agencies across the country. The South Sichuan Radio Station promptly broadcast uninterrupted interviews with the people of Baoding and the officers and men of the 17 th Army, and the expert group for the analysis of current affairs headed by Jiang Yunshan sat in the broadcast studio of the South Sichuan Radio Station to analyze in detail the nature and impact of the incident on the basis of the constantly enriching content of the interviews at the front, and took a clear-cut stand in support of the 17 th Army of the Central Army's legitimate action to defend the dignity of the army, and launched a fierce attack on the arrogant reactionary movement of the traitor organization.

In just half a day, the 17 th Army's "resolute anti-riot action" won strong support from all walks of life throughout the country, especially millions of patriotic youths and people from all walks of life, and the nationwide anti-Japanese demonstrations that were in the ascendant were followed by a heightened atmosphere and intensified; following the large-scale demonstrations in Nanjing and the Pingjin areas, large-scale demonstrations took place in more than 20 cities, including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanchang, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Syria, Kunming, Chongqing, Guilin, and Changsha. The 17th Army took a clear-cut stand in support of its wise and resolute actions, and the cries for "resisting the autonomy of North China," "severely punishing traitors and traitors," "boycotting Japanese goods," and "uniting the people of the whole country to drive out the Japanese aggressors" rose higher and higher.

Faced with the out-of-control national situation and the spectacular anti-Japanese wave, the central government officials in Nanjing were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and at a loss, and the central political conference planned to be held the next day was in danger of being aborted.

The Japanese military and secret services never dreamed that Hu Jialin's 17th Army would dare to "defy the condemnation of the world" and kill the killers, and it was not enough to kill them, and they also quickly dispatched troops to arrest thousands of members of traitor organizations and their families, and interrogated them, but the Japanese side had already declared in a public statement yesterday evening that the traitor organization of the "Baoding Incident" had nothing to do with the Japanese side, and Hu Jialin's iron-blooded killing today had nothing to do with the Japanese side, and in any case, it was China's internal affair. At most, the Japanese government and military can only verbally and literally criticize Hu Jialin and the 17th Army on a "moral" basis, and they also have to guard against the screening of dozens of Japanese ronins and Korean lackeys who have blended into the ranks of traitors in disguise, thus bringing about diplomatic passivity.

The prestige of Hu Jialin and the 17th Army spread all over China and abroad overnight, and whether it was called a righteous action of decisive slaughter or a bloody and brutal massacre, it could not change such a reality:

The 17th Army of the ** squadron is an iron-blooded, daring and powerful force, in front of them, no force can make them succumb to fear, this army, in the next cruel years, will become the formidable main force in the squadron, become the object of unanimous attention from all walks of life at home and abroad.
