"What did you say? The Japanese are going to burn down Guangzhou?" Bai Jingran's surprised voice sounded in the headquarters.**
"Yes, sir, this is what a young man who escaped from the Japanese just said." Li Jinling swallowed his saliva and answered bravely.
Bai Jingran's face turned a little livid, "Damn it, do these ancient village masters want to destroy all of Guangzhou?"
"Old Bai, don't worry, things are not as bad as you think." At this time, Su Rui on the side spoke, and he comforted: "It is not easy for Guzhuang Qianlang to die with the city of Guangzhou. Don't forget, Guangzhou
But coastal cities, and what makes coastal cities different from other cities is that most of the buildings here are made of stone and brick structures. They are not the kind of wooden houses that can be built easily. Guzhuang Qianlang wants to take the city of Guangzhou to be buried with him, but
It's just his wishful thinking."
"Maybe!" Bai Jingran sighed, "But I'm still very worried. If the ancient city of Guangzhou is destroyed in our hands, then we will be guilty, especially now that there are so many reporters... Well
…”
Having said this, Bai Jingran and Su Rui looked at each other at the same time, with a look of surprise on their faces. Bai Jingran slapped his thigh fiercely and said loudly: "Yeah, how could we forget about those reporters outside?
What about? There are some things we can’t say, but we can put pressure on the Japanese government through them.”
Su Rui smiled, with an approving smile on his face, "Okay, Old Bai, I didn't expect you to learn the trick of leveraging others' strength. Yes, there are some things that are better to put pressure on the Japanese government through those reporters than we can say ourselves."
It would be better, let’s do this, I will immediately send the air force to conduct aerial reconnaissance and photography over Guangzhou, and by the way, verify the authenticity of this matter..."
In a small forest outside Guangzhou, a temporary camp was built a few days ago. Dozens of tents were set up in this camp. The reporter observation group sent by the National Government stayed here this morning.
After having breakfast, Caitriona, Jack and several reporters went to a hill outside the woods to watch the city of Guangzhou in the distance.
Several reporters, both male and female, came to see the scenery with Caitriona. They were talking quietly while watching the black smoke and loud noises rising from time to time in Guangzhou in the distance.
A female reporter with freckles on her face said to Caitrina: "Caitrina, we have been here for two days, but General Su still hasn't received us. Do you think he will allow us to enter Guangzhou for interviews?
"
Caitriona shook her head, "Benita, I don't know about this question. After all, the fighting in Guangzhou is still fierce. Under such circumstances, reporters are generally not allowed to enter the fighting area for interviews, even if we are allowed to enter for interviews.
, I guess that happened after the battle."
"Oh... this is such a pity. If I could get the first-hand information as soon as possible, I think the sensation would be even greater." The female reporter named Benita continued reluctantly.
: "Caitrina, you are a senior reporter from the Associated Press, and your relationship with the National Government is very deep. Can you use your relationship to get through the back door?"
Caitriona smiled, "Benita, you are also a reporter for the London Times, and your relationship with the National Government is not bad. Why don't you get in touch?"
Benita's heart beat Xiao Jiujiu was exposed, but there was no expression of embarrassment on her face. If she didn't have a thick skin, she probably wouldn't be able to be a reporter, so not only did he not have the slightest expression of embarrassment. On the contrary,
He said carelessly: "In front of you, the influence of our London Times is almost negligible."
Caitriona smiled. Her family knew her own affairs, and she knew it very well. Although the AP's influence was great, it was not so great that it could influence the changes made by military commanders of other countries.
At this time, Jack also joined in their discussion, and he smiled and interjected: "Miss Caitlina, Miss Benita, I think that instead of discussing these things here, it is better to go directly to see Commander Su here.
It would be best for the general to come here, after all, here are the major newspapers in China and reporters from various countries, so he will definitely give everyone a face, don’t you think so?"
Caitriona smiled, turned around and was about to say something to Jack, when she saw a figure running over the mountainside. She looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "Hey... it's John, why did he come up here?"
"
Everyone turned their attention, didn't they? They saw John, who was wearing a pair of denim clothes and a pair of cowhide boots, running towards everyone panting. When John came closer, Jack was waiting for John to come over and start a fight with him.
As a joke, I saw John running over and shouting out of breath: "Thank you... thank God, you are all here, hurry up... there is news from the 300th Army Military Headquarters, General Su is going to receive us
, they...they allowed us to enter the war zone for interviews!"
At the headquarters of the Three Hundred Army, more than a hundred reporters gathered in a courtyard, quietly looking at the youngest general in China standing in front of them.
Benita covered her mouth and said softly: "Oh, my God, this General Su is so young. Is the appearance difference between Eastern and Western men really so big?"
Caitriona looked at her colleague funny and said, "Benita, don't be crazy. This General Su is not thirty years old yet. Haven't you seen his information before coming here?"
?”
"Of course I have seen it." Benita said dissatisfied: "It's just that I always thought that General Su should be more mature, but I didn't expect..."
"Shh..." Someone on the side made a silencing gesture.
At this time, Su Rui, who was standing in front, spoke. He waved his hand and said to the reporters: "Okay, everyone, I have called you here today to announce something, that is, I represent the Three Hundred Army
Announce that starting from today, you can be divided into three teams accompanied by designated officers and accompany our three offensive forces into Guangzhou City from different directions. Use your cameras and your pens to record the real scene that happened before your eyes.
It records the sacrifices and efforts made by our national army to regain the country's territory, and also records the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Guangzhou! Okay, now if you have any questions, you can ask."
Soon, a reporter raised his hand: "Hello, General Su, this is Reuters reporter Bernie Kennaway. I noticed that in your speech just now, you said that the Japanese army committed heinous crimes in Guangzhou.
Crime, do you have any basis for this?"
"Of course." Su Rui nodded: "According to reliable information, the commander of Japan's 21st Army, Furuzhuo Qianro, has ordered a large number of dry fire starters to be piled next to buildings in Guangzhou. It is not difficult for us to guess their purpose.
Come out, they just want to burn this thousand-year-old city of Guangzhou to ashes at the last moment! While we express strong indignation at this behavior of the Japanese, we also want to warn the Japanese government that those who play with fire will burn themselves. If the Japanese army really
If Guangzhou is destroyed, then Guangzhou’s today will be Japan’s tomorrow!”
"What?"
"God, this is terrible!"
“Are the Japanese crazy?”
As soon as Su Rui's words came out, all the reporters present screamed, preparing to burn down a city of thousands of square kilometers and hundreds of thousands or even millions of residents living in it in the event of defeat. Only a crazy person could do this.
ah.
A middle-aged female reporter turned red with anger and asked loudly: "General Su, is everything you said true? Is this news reliable?"
Suri looked at the other person and said, "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, let me introduce myself first. I am reporter Yan Minhua. Is what you just said true? Would the Japanese really do such a crazy thing?"
"Of course it's true!" Su Rui nodded: "This is what one of our young men from Guangzhou City who was captured by the Japanese to build fortifications told us, and after we received the news, we also sent a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance in the sky. It is true that
A large number of unknown ignition objects were discovered in Guangzhou. These are the photos we took from the air and will be sent to everyone below." After saying that, Su Rui waved his hand, and several staff members immediately piled them up.
The photos were distributed to surrounding reporters.
"boom……"
As soon as Su Rui finished speaking, all the reporters below became excited. This news was really shocking. If it were reported, it would definitely be news that would shock the world.
Many reporters also asked for photos from the surrounding staff. From the perspective of the photos, most of the photos here were taken from the air. There were also a few photos taken from the roof or close up. It can be seen from the photos.
, there are a lot of firewood and dry fire starters piled next to many buildings here, especially the slightly taller or famous buildings in Guangzhou City.
Based on these photos alone, and combined with what Su Rui said just now, it is not difficult for reporters to imagine how much damage would be caused to the thousand-year-old city of Guangzhou once the Japanese set fire to it.
"Oh God, this is terrible, this is a naked crime!"
"I never expected that today in the 20th century, Japan, which claims to be a civilized country, would do such a crazy thing. This is incredible!"
After seeing these photos, the sensitive nerves in the hearts of the reporters present were shocked. They all asked Suri to enter the war zone as soon as possible to conduct interviews and expose the atrocities of the Japanese to the world.
Seeing the enthusiastic reporters, Su Rui nodded with satisfaction. It seems that the basic professionalism and professional ethics of these reporters are still very good. Presumably, when these reporters release this news, the Japanese government will also take action against Guzhuang.
Qian Lang applies pressure and asks him to restrain himself...
