Chapter 274 Attacking Jinzhou (2)
This morning, the Second Battalion crippled the Japanese Cavalry Regiment. The horses that were killed and blown up on the battlefield were all the best meat.
Although horse meat is rough, the soldiers of the national army in this era will never dislike it, they will only think it is too little.
There were several horses inside the meat buns, and horse offal soup was cooked in the hot soup. This group of soldiers who fought continuously took a big bowl and ate it deliciously.
At this time, Stilwell was chewing a bun in one hand and holding a phone in the other hand to talk to the US Ambassador Johnson.
Colonel Stilwell took a platoon of US troops to investigate the airship crash. Johnson knew about it, but what he didn't know was that the Japanese dared to bomb even Americans.
Moreover, the airship of the multinational military observation group was deliberately crashed by the Japanese, which made Johnson, who was already very dissatisfied with the Japanese, furious.
When he heard that all fifty-two soldiers in a platoon of the Marine Corps were burned to death by sulfur incendiary bombs thrown by the Japanese army.
I was already furious. I heard that the airship airbag and the bodies of fifty-two soldiers were all burned to ashes in the incendiary bombs.
He said coldly: "We don't need evidence, the colonel's words are evidence."
Colonel Stilwell reported: "We have taken a large number of photos, as well as Miss Rose's interview book, and the photos taken can be used as evidence."
Jason immediately instructed: "Colonel Stilwell, what are you still doing in Baoshan?
If you don't come back to Shanghai immediately, I will hold a press conference for you to announce to the world the shameless face of the Japanese."
Stilwell smiled bitterly and said: "Dear Mr. Ambassador! I narrowly escaped with my life under the Japanese bombing, but was hunted down by the Japanese cavalry regiment and mechanized infantry squadron."
After finally escaping to Baoshan County, I desperately wanted to return to Shanghai.
But the Japanese army must have sent many teams to snipe on the way.
My journey back to Shanghai this time is full of risks!
The team that escorted me back to Baoshan County is exhausted, and there is no way they can leave tonight."
Jason immediately said: "I will contact Commander Yarnell immediately and ask him to send a Marine Corps to come to Baoshan County to pick you up.
In addition, I will immediately inform the British people of the latest news."
The latest news he mentioned was that the multinational military observation mission was deliberately destroyed by the Japanese.
At this time, Colonel Stilwell suddenly said: "Jason! There is one thing I want to tell you:
The sulfur incendiary bombs that burned fifty-two Marines to death were made by us Americans, and the shrapnel still bears our markings."
Both Stilwell and Johnson knew the capabilities of the American arms dealers.
They also knew that the arms dealers were working hard to provide ammunition to the Japanese, but they did not expect that the ammunition would actually blow up on their own people.
Johnson was silent for a moment before replying: "I will convey the news to Mr. President."
Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 15th National Army Group Army, was also listening to Commander Lu Jingrong’s report:
I heard that fifty-two American Marines were burned to death by the Japanese using sulfur bombs; and these were aerial bombs produced by the Americans themselves.
This forced Commander Luo Zhuoying to observe a moment of silence for the Americans: shooting himself in the foot!
When he heard that the Americans had found evidence at the scene that the Japanese deliberately crashed the multinational military observation group, he asked excitedly: "Did you bring it back?"
"It was burned by the Japanese throwing incendiary bombs."
There is no evidence, which makes Luo Zhuoying happy for nothing.
However, Captain Lu quickly said: "There were two reporters accompanying us, and they took many photos of the scene.
Those photos can be used as evidence.
Moreover, an American reporter on board the crashed airship also left evidence, which is in the hands of Camp Commander Wei."
"Who is Camp Commander Wei?" Luo Zhuoying asked.
Today he had checked the establishment of the 583rd Regiment in detail, and clearly remembered that there was no battalion commander surnamed Wei, not even a company commander surnamed Wei.
That's why I asked so strangely.
"Battle Commander Wei is a returned overseas Chinese who just joined our regiment today. He performed particularly well in the battle.
Therefore, I asked him to act as the second battalion commander."
"You just joined the 583rd Regiment today, so you asked him to act as battalion commander. Commander Lu, you are too hasty.
Although heroes are said to have no regard for their origins, the battalion lieutenants of the 583rd Regiment, as well as the company commanders of the main company, they will not be convinced!" Luo Zhuoying originally valued this regiment commander very much.
When I heard that he actually provided an overseas Chinese acting battalion commander who had just joined the team from unknown sources, my view of him immediately changed.
Commander Luo had already made a conclusion. Commander Lu wanted to make a few remarks, but Commander Luo was unwilling to discuss the issue any more.
Just asked: "Are Americans safe now?"
"We have escorted the three of them into Baoshan County. They haven't had time to send them to Shanghai yet."
"I know!" Luo Zhuoying knew that the Americans were safe for the time being, and also knew that the Americans had evidence to prove that it was a Japanese plane that crashed the airship.
This news had to be reported to the Military Committee immediately, so he did not have time to listen to Commander Lu's follow-up report.
The process of what the following people encountered is not important, the result is the most important.
The lights in the conference room of the Nanjing Military Commission were brightly lit. The fighting during the day was similar to the previous days. The fighting in downtown Shanghai was still in a stalemate.
On the contrary, the Japanese who landed at Wusongkou did not make any progress today, which is undoubtedly good news for the national army.
The biggest good news is what Luo Zhuoying reported: The Americans have found out the truth about the crash of the multinational military observation group's airship.
It was a Japanese plane that crashed.
The Japanese wanted to destroy the evidence after the incident, and also burned fifty-two people to death by the Marines sent by the United States to investigate.
After reading Luo Zhuoying's report, Chiang Kai-shek looked at all the senior officials in the conference room with a relaxed smile on their faces.
These people here are really afraid that they can't find any evidence, which will arouse foreign friends' views on the National Government.
Now that Americans are being bombed, it fully proves that the Japanese are guilty, barbaric and arrogant.
