Above the sky, the machine guns on the wings spewed fire, and occasionally, one or two planes erupted in clusters of fire, burning, falling.

In the sky, everything is silent.

And at this moment, on the ground, it began to be lively again.

"Commander! Oh no! Commander! "Chongqing Garrison Headquarters, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

"What's bad? The planes of the Japanese were all knocked away, what is so bad? A middle-aged general with a big belly scolded loudly, this person is the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing garrison, Liu Zhi.

"Commander, there are a lot of dead people over there in the tunnel."

"What do you mean?"

"There were too many people, there was not enough air inside, and they all died."

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand what he meant, there were too many people in the air defense tunnel, there was not enough oxygen, and many people suffocated to death.

"Commander, these people died due to lack of oxygen, some of them can actually be saved, and someone should be sent to move these people out of the bomb shelter immediately! To the fresh air! For example, Chaotianmen River Dam! Someone suggested.

"That's right, that's right!" Liu Zhi nodded, feeling very reasonable, "You, take someone to do this immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

……

The soldiers, special agents, protection team members, and service team members who participated in the rescue regarded people's lives as child's play, and they dragged the corpses out of the cave door, and some of them dragged them to death if they were not dead; Some were dragged off their hands and feet; Some still had a trace of breath, but they were crushed to death because of the accumulation of corpses. What is more, some of the people who participated in the rescue not only did not go all out to save people, but instead took advantage of the fire to loot and loot jewelry, money, and clothes and trousers from the corpses, causing great indignation among the masses.

Among the corpses transported to the Chaotianmen River Dam, there were indeed a few who were resurrected by breathing fresh air. But after they woke up. Realizing that the belongings he was carrying had been looted, and feeling that he had nothing to do with his future, he cried out in despair. In the area of the river dam, there are many dead bodies, and the cry is thunderous, and the condition is very miserable.

……

On the 6th, Chongqing was in an uproar, and the world was in an uproar.

The incident of the tunnel tragedy quickly spread to the outside world, and the cries of Chongqing citizens were endless.

Zhou Weiguo, who received the news, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the three major tragedies during the Republic of China, in addition to the Huayuankou incident and the Changsha fire, the Chongqing tunnel tragedy was one of them.

Zhou Weiguo was silent. For more than a month, the independent faction has been constantly checking the previous information and tightening the defense of various places. After checking, it was found that Suning's intelligence was half-true and half-false, and the Japanese did give a fake troop deployment, but the deployment map obtained by Suning was also fake.

Zhou Weiguo couldn't figure out the mentality of the Japanese, it was a pure waste of time. But in the eyes of the Japanese, wasting the time of an independent division was a victory for them.

As a result, the silence of the independent division seemed to inflate the Japanese.

"What about the casualties in the tunnel tragedy?"

Liu Yuan shook his head, "It's hard to say, the Chongqing Air Defense General Headquarters said that 461 people were killed and 291 were seriously injured." ”

Zhou Weiguo's face was difficult to look at, and only then did he remember that the number of people in the tragedy was said by hundreds of people, thousands of people and 10,000 people. The 100 people and the 1,000 people said that they were all published by the relevant agencies of the Chongqing government authorities, while the 10,000 people said that they were the survivors' statements. However, in later generations, most historians mostly adopted the 10,000-person theory.

Zhou Weiguo exhaled, and the credibility of the Chongqing government may have been consumed again and again.

"Now public opinion is angry, and public resentment is boiling! Chongqing citizens demand that the murderer be severely punished! Liu Yuan shook his head, "I'm afraid, it will only make some people resign." ”

Zhou Weiguo thought about it, indeed, the relevant personnel must have been fired by Lao Jiang. But the culprit in this case, to put it bluntly, is still Japanese. If it weren't for the Japanese, the people would not have taken refuge in bomb shelters and caused such consequences.

"Damn, it's still the Japanese. Of course, damn the one in charge of the garrison! Zhou Weiguo sighed, "I'm afraid, this time, it will be a little difficult to calm down the people's grievances." ”

……

At the strong demand of public opinion, Chairman Chiang ordered Wu Tiecheng, secretary general of the Kuomintang Central Party Department, Zhang Boqin, chairman of the National Council for Political Participation, and Kang Xinru, chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Provisional Senate, to form a "review committee for the tragedy of suffocation in the Great Tunnel" to investigate the tragedy. Since then, the Beidu Air Raid and Rescue Committee has said that the number of fatalities has never exceeded 650. On June 10, in addition to the more than 1,000 people who were not injured, a total of 827 people died and 165 were seriously injured, saying that the tunnel tragedy "killed 992 people and seriously injured 151 people".

As soon as this data came out, public opinion was even more boiling.

According to Chen Liyuan, a reporter from Xinmin Daily, who went to the scene shortly after the tragedy, "As far as I personally went to the area where the corpses were full of corpses and learned from nearby residents, I also deeply felt that the ministry would inevitably have the behavior of 'reporting too much with less.'"

……

In Chongqing, Lao Jiang's face was ugly, and the tunnel tragedy made it a little difficult for the authorities to deal with.

"How many casualties are there?" Lao Jiang looked at Dai Li.

Dai Li was silent for a while, at this time, how to report this number? Then he sighed in his heart, when he came to the chairman, the newspaper should report the real data, "There are about thousands of people." ”

"Thousands? How many thousands are you? "Lao Jiang is also angry, Liu Zhi is his right-hand man, as the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing garrison and the commander-in-chief of air defense, if this happens, Liu Zhi's position will definitely not be able to be saved." ordered Liu Zhi to be dismissed from the post of commander of the Chongqing air defense, which was concurrently held by He Guoguang, commander of the Chongqing military police; Hu Bohan, deputy commander of Chongqing's air defense, was removed from his post and retained, Wu Guoshan, director of the tunnel engineering department, was dismissed, and Xie Yuanmo, deputy director of the division, was twice described; Chongqing Mayor Wu Guojiao was removed from his post and retained. ”

"Yes!" Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, it can be regarded as an explanation to the people.

Then I pondered that Liu Zhi was still the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing garrison, but he had just taken the position of commander-in-chief of air defense.

……

"Well done! All of these people should be removed! Shot! In the face of Lao Jiang's disposal, the anger of the people was finally less.

"It's not enough, this group of people should be shot!"

"For this group of official fans, removing their officials should be more uncomfortable than killing them!"

"Isn't the commander-in-chief of the garrison also Liu Zhi?"

"The chairman only removed him from the position of commander of air defense?"

"Isn't it, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? Trick us? ”

"That's right!"

……

Jinan, Liu Yuan looked at the telegram, and his heart was sad, "That's it, the disposal is over?" ”

Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Otherwise, what else can I do?" ”

Liu Yuan was silent. yes, what else can be done? He is not the chairman of the committee, and of course he feels that it is not enough.

Zhou Weiguo sighed, there is really no way to do this. The Chongqing authorities want to cover up and cover up, and naturally they have to cover up and cover up from top to bottom. He remembered that he had seen information about the ventilation equipment, and the electric ventilator was installed in the large tunnel at the entrance of the field in mid-April, and the test start was carried out on June 3, 1941, and it was agreed that the acceptance would be accepted from 14:00 to 17:00 on June 5, but the factory waited until half an hour before the alarm was issued, and Xie Yuanmo of the Air Defense Department did not appear. Xie Yuanmo explained: "Because I am not an electrical expert, I originally agreed that the engineer of the electric light factory would go to the same place for acceptance, but because the person did not arrive, he did not go to the acceptance. "But the real reason is that the Ministry of Air Defense did not give bribes to the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Military Affairs refused to accept it, and the machine did not dare to be used and left idle. Another reason for the quality defects of bomb shelters is the lack of funds and misappropriation.

In short, the problem is big on all fronts.

Such an authority, Zhou Weiguo sighed, it is true, it cannot be established if it is not broken.
