Ouyang Gui, commander of the third battalion of the new third regiment of the 23rd Route Army, was angry with Lieutenant General Han Peige, commander-in-chief of the Route Army, because the medal he received was not the highest level in the blue sky and white day, and when he took the stage to receive the medal, he suddenly opened fire on the awarding commander General Han, and fired four bullets, seriously wounding General Han, and then turned his gun to the guards who came to the rescue, and was killed on the spot by the guards. Alack! A hero of a quick battle, not afraid of the rain of bullets and bullets of a strong enemy, because of the vanity of the honorable ranks, shot at the commander of the general, and caused a catastrophe, painful! Tragic and tragic fact, isn't this a great tragedy for our country and nation!

At the award meeting of the 23rd Route Army, Lieutenant Ouyang, the company commander of the Ouyang clan, who was seriously deranged in a fierce battle, suffered a mad attack at the very moment when he took the stage to receive the medal, and mistakenly regarded the medal platform as a battlefield. Lieutenant General Han Peige, the supreme military commander of the 23rd Route Army, who presided over the award, was as calm as a rock in the chaos of the crowd, although he was shot several times, and his palms supported the table, standing majestically, commanding the guards to stop Ouyang. However, Ouyang had a gun in his hand, and fired it repeatedly, and the guards were forced to shoot him dead. The author had taken a photograph of the Ouyang clan on the occasion of his inauguration and was aware of his abnormal expression and glazed eyes (see photos 1 and 2 of Ouyang before he was killed)......

Han Mou, the lieutenant general and commander-in-chief of the Chongqing 23rd Route Army, who presided over the Battle of Hexi, was killed by his subordinate officers a few days ago. According to a relevant source of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, this incident is by no means accidental, and is in fact the inevitable result of Wang's peaceful nation-building movement that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. According to a relevant personage, the idea of peaceful nation-building has been widely supported by the officers and men of Chongqing, and the fact that the Ouyang clan wants peace without medals has announced the great failure of Chongqing's deceptive propaganda......

Lieutenant General Jun Chen, deputy commander-in-chief of the 23 rd Route Army, recently invited reporters from the Central News Agency, the Associated Press, the Front News Agency, the Asian News Agency, and the 12 newspapers to hold a meeting to clarify the truth about the awarding of medals. General Liu said: In the past, the Asian News Agency, the Front News Agency, and various relevant newspapers reported that "the incident was caused by the honorable people" or "caused by insanity," all of which were nonsense. General Liu was fully entrusted by the commander-in-chief of the Han Army, Pei Ge, and in the name of the General Headquarters of the 23rd Route Army, solemnly declared, and announced the facts and background of the incident, as left: A. Ouyang Shi, the murderer who shot and wounded General Han, was a pseudo-spy on the day he mixed into the ranks of our army. B. The Kyodo News Agency and Wang's fake newspaper widely publicized the awarding incident, claiming that Ouyang's actions were an example of a pro-peace movement, and providing corroborating evidence for his identity. C. Ouyang was not killed by the guards of the 23rd Route Army Headquarters, but by Duan Renyi, the commander of the regiment, who was very vigilant. D. The deputy commander of the regiment, Hojack, in order to cover the dangerous General Han and the deputy commander-in-chief, bravely grabbed the gun and was also wounded. E. Due to panic, the murderer missed the vital point with four shots, and General Han is now out of danger and has recovered quickly......
["Ming Pao" special article]
Have a talk with the iron-blooded general Han Commander-in-Chief Pei Ge
Interviewer, special correspondent Bai Shui
……
Interviewer: There has been a lot of discussion about the shooting incident and the background of the incident, does the general have any new explanations?
General: No. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu has clarified the facts at the meeting, so please do not believe other discussions.
Interviewer: Are Comrade Duan Renyi and Jack Huo still under the command of the general?
General: Of course. The new third regiment has been returned to the establishment, Duan Renyi is still the commander, and Huo Jack is still the deputy of the regiment, and this rebuilt new third regiment will be the first U.S. armament regiment of our 23rd Route Army.
Interviewer: Can you visit Comrades Duan Renyi and Huo Jack?
General: Absolutely. However, not now, the Commander-in-Chief has sent them and a group of officers to the United States Allied Advisers for special training.
Interviewer: This is where the outside world is concerned, some people say that Duan and Huo have been placed under house arrest by the general.
General: It's just a rumor!
Interviewer: The rumors seem to be well-founded, because of the Dejiadian incident and the bloody battle,—— especially the bloody battle......
General: Please don't talk about that bloody battle again! This kind of thing has happened in the past, it is now, and it will happen in the future! I tell you, you have to remember: we are in an era of national calamity, an era in which we cannot change our individual strength, and no matter how many things we cannot understand in this era, we must adapt to it and push it. The reason is very simple: if a nation wants to survive, it must wage war by iron-blooded means, and there are always sacrifices in war! Sometimes even great sacrifices, great sacrifices!
Interviewer: What is the general's health? What are your plans for the future?
General: I've mostly recovered. The future plans are still a military secret and have nothing to comment on. However, one thing can be revealed: at the appropriate time, our 23rd Route Army will join up with friendly forces, recover the provincial capital, Hucheng, and the vast area north of Shayang, and create another great victory to thank the countrymen.
