On December 1, the headquarters of the garrison on Kyushu Island issued a notice to all Japanese people on Kyushu Island that they would have two days to pack up their belongings and leave Kyushu Island for Honshu Island two days later.

After this notice was issued, all the Japanese on Kyushu Island wept and shouted, and the sky of the entire Kyushu Island seemed to be covered with a dark cloud, and the timid Japanese families began to salute and prepare dry food after crying loudly, while the bold Japanese who did not want to move to Honshu Island began to unite with each other and prepare to protest against the Chinese army, wanting to fight for their rights.

The Japanese also don't want to think about it, once this notice is issued, how can the Chinese army take it back lightly? If the Japanese do not cooperate, the Chinese army will inevitably take coercive measures.

On December 3, the Chinese army began to send troops to gather the Japanese in all parts of Kyushu Island, and organized those Japanese who were willing to move to Honshu Island to advance in the direction of Honshu Island, and these people accounted for the majority, after all, not all Japanese wanted to be taken coercive measures by the Chinese army.

In addition to the large number of Japanese who are willing to cooperate, there are also a small number of Japanese who are unwilling to cooperate, and they want to use force to resist the coercive measures of the Chinese army, and many Japanese hide to evade the search of the Chinese army, and even resist the coercive measures of the Chinese army.

For the next period of time, the Chinese army on Kyushu Island was engaged in this matter, arresting Japanese everywhere, as long as they saw Japanese. As for the Japanese, who were extremely hostile to the Chinese army, some people in the Chinese army thought that since they had already been arrested, they could not be let go. Because of these people's hatred of the Chinese army, if they are released, they are likely to be even more hostile in the future, and even confront them by force, so the measure that should be taken against these people is to directly eliminate them and not give them the opportunity to fight the Chinese army by force. On this matter, there are many different voices in the military. In the end, however, it was decided to execute them outright.

Two days later, the Chinese army secretly executed the first batch of Japanese violent rebels caught, and the first batch of Japanese violent rebels executed this time was 12,000. They are all young and middle-aged, and only Japanese people of this age have the courage to resist. Twelve thousand people were executed on that day, and all the Japanese who were executed were taken to the execution ground before they were forced to dig their own graves. Dig big holes. After digging the pit, the digging tools were taken away and they were not allowed to come up from the pit, and finally the Chinese soldiers began to fill the pit with tools and bury them alive.

After that, the number of Japanese who were caught was treated in this way every day, and the number of Japanese buried alive increased day by day, until the number of Japanese buried alive reached 200,000 one day, and the whole process lasted for a month, and by January 3, 1917, all the Japanese who had not left Kyushu Island were arrested. They were all cleaned up, and not a single Japanese was left.

Such mass executions. Although it was carried out very secretly, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and it spread to the country within a few days after the matter was over, and at first it was just some rumors, and within a few days it became more and more powerful, and even newspapers began to report, but it was just speculation, but there was no substantial evidence, so there were few people who paid attention, basically no one paid attention to it, and no one believed it.

But the situation soon changed, and there was a newspaper that got some photos from somewhere, some of which showed the bodies of many Japanese people being thrown into the pit, and there were also photos showing that the Chinese army was organizing a large number of Japanese to dig the big pit, and the Chinese army was on guard nearby, and the photo shooting was very blurry, and the location of the photographer was very hidden, obviously it was taken secretly.

As soon as these photos were disclosed in the domestic newspapers, they immediately aroused the strong attention of public opinion, and some commentators quickly wrote articles pointing out that the Wehrmacht had carried out a large-scale massacre in Japan, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the commander Xu Zhaozhen.

January 6, 1917, President's residence.

While eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, Xiao Zhenlei suddenly stopped, a message in the newspaper caught his attention, he quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand to read the report, his face immediately turned blue, and he slapped the table angrily: "Bastard, bastard!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei's sudden anger frightened the family, and even scared the two children into screaming, Wang Yanan soothed the children while sneering: "What's the matter with you, why did you suddenly get angry while eating early in the morning?" Who provoked you? Even if it doesn't taste good, you can't react so much! ”

Xiao Zhenlei also knew that he had overreacted at this time, he hurriedly apologized, and then stopped eating breakfast, and immediately called Yang Yongtai with the newspaper, threw the newspaper to him, and said angrily: "What's the matter, what's the matter, these people are full of food and still have nothing to do and want to find trouble?" Why is this kind of news reported in the newspapers? The army is fighting bloody battles in the front, but the rear is stabbing them in the back, what do the soldiers in front think? What do those people in the Press Control Bureau eat, how could they allow such a report to appear in the newspapers, ah? ”

Yang Yongtai picked up the newspaper and quickly glanced at it, and then his face quickly changed drastically, no wonder Xiao Zhenlei was so angry, this was also the first time he found that Xiao Zhenlei opened his mouth to scold, and it was the most direct kind, looking at Xiao Zhenlei angry, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and back in his back.

Yang Yongtai's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said: "President, I will immediately call the News Control Bureau and ask them to immediately seize this newspaper!" ”

"Come back!" Xiao Zhenlei immediately stopped Yang Yongtai, "Confused, do you think the closure of this newspaper is over?" The seizure of this newspaper can only be used to cover up and make people think in a worse direction! Do you think everyone else is a brainless person? People will think for themselves, what do people think, can you stop it? ”

Yang Yongtai turned around and asked, "So, let the News Control Bureau immediately order all newspapers to stop publishing reports related to this matter?" And then send someone to investigate the origin of the photos and take action against the literati who wrote these stories? ”

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand: "There is no need to take measures against those pens, they just wrote an article related to this matter today, and there will be an accident tomorrow, as long as they are not stupid, they know that they have an accident because they wrote those manuscripts, don't do things that have no silver three hundred taels here, check if they have been instructed by anyone, no matter what the result, don't touch them for the time being, if someone really instructs them, find out the people behind the scenes!" ”

Yang Yongtai immediately said: "Yes, I'll go to Mashan!" ”

Over the next two days, the incident intensified, and although the Press Control Bureau ordered all newspapers to stop publishing articles about the incident, and many newspapers stopped reporting on the matter, some unlicensed tabloids continued to report on the matter.

The officials of the Press Control Bureau were immediately furious, because they had led such a report to denigrate the Wehrmacht to be published in the newspaper because of lax supervision, and this matter had already aroused the anger of the President, and they dared to derelict their duties and immediately ordered all newspapers in the press to not publish any more relevant reports, but they did not expect that those unlicensed tabloids suddenly appeared to publish them in a big way, and the photos published were different from those published before, but the photos in the newspapers still showed the Wehrmacht with a large number of Japanese corpses. It is also a large pit, and a large number of Japanese corpses lie in the large pit.

This time, the officials of the Press Control Bureau were really angry, and they immediately joined forces with the police department, industry and commerce, culture, and other departments to carry out an all-round and large-scale investigation and punishment of these unlicensed tabloids, and arrested and imprisoned the owners and principals of those small newspapers, on the grounds that they operated the news newspaper business without a license and slandered the national army; the former charge was nothing, and the maximum detention was half a month and a fine of money, and the newspaper could not be opened, but the latter crime was too big, and slandering and smearing the army could be sentenced to more than 10 years at most. Why do you say it is slander and smear? Although the photographs in those newspapers showed the Wehrmacht and a large number of Japanese corpses, it could not be assumed that the Wehrmacht had massacred Japanese civilians, after all, there was no direct picture of this.

The results of the investigation came out quickly, Yang Yongtai got the investigation report and immediately reported to Xiao Zhenlei, it turned out that these photos were brought from Japan by an American reporter in Kyushu Island Browns, who waged a war against Japan and blocked Japanese waters, Porence could not return to the United States directly from Kyushu Island, so he could only take a boat to China and then return to the United States by boat, but Browns went to the dance hall to drink and get drunk that night after coming to Shanghai Beach, and inadvertently leaked the fact that he had a large number of photos of the Chinese army massacring the Japanese, His drunken mantra was heard by a well-intentioned person who took him away, and when Porence woke up, his negatives were gone, and Porence was locked up in a dark room.

The person who took the negatives has been caught, but he has become a dead person, and all those involved in this matter have been killed, but all indications show that an opposition organization planned this matter, but because the relevant direct participants have been eliminated, the investigators have not found direct proof that it was planned by the opposition, so they cannot arrest people without authorization.

After reading the investigation report, Xiao Zhenlei asked: "So the relevant personnel have been killed, so they can only stop at this time?" ”

"Yes, although we know who did it, there is no conclusive evidence, and the identity of the other party does not allow law enforcement to arrest him without evidence," Yang said.

Xiao Zhenlei asked again: "What about the bosses and editors-in-chief of those unlicensed tabloids?" Don't they know either? ”

"They were already heavily interrogated, and they only received photographs and money, as well as threatening letters, and they published the photos and reports under the pre-emptive and threatening circumstances." (To be continued......)
