Yangshupu, special care unit of Japanese Naval Hospital.

Matsui Iwane is also listening to Sophia's program.

As Yan Yan said, through yesterday's "live connection", this military special program carefully produced by Sophia has become an instant hit.

Now not only the Chinese listen to her program, but the Japanese also listen.

However, Japanese people have to bring a translator when listening to the program.

Zhang Benfan was "honored" to become Matsui Iwane's translator.

Zhang Benfanyi is actually a Chinese, but he hates his Chinese identity extremely. He dreams of becoming a Japanese, so he got such a Japanese name.

After listening to Zhang Benfanyi's translation, Matsui Iwane immediately showed contempt on his face, and said to the Chief of Staff of the Central China Front, Tsukada Tsukuda, who came to visit him: "This group of red deer in the Marine Corps is really incompetent. Such a small I can’t even get the target.”

"Yes, if this was left to our army, we would have taken it down long ago."

"Why did we lose so many people and so much weapons and equipment?"

"Your Excellency, General, do you want to send a telegram to the Army Department and ask the Navy to hand over the Sihang Warehouse to us? This will also combat the arrogance of the Navy, and the base camp will tilt more resources to the Army. "

"This matter is not urgent. Let Sihang Warehouse let the navy deal with the headache. Our army's mission is to capture Jinling as soon as possible and force the Japanese government to sign the surrender document."

Matsui Iwane's mind was still very clear, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

After a pause, Matsui Iwane ordered again: "By the way, remember to ask the intelligence department to spread the controversy about the end of the battle line in the base camp in advance, so that the Japanese army can have a sense of luck about the next move of the imperial army and think that the imperial army will Stop advancing in the area east of Taihu Lake, so that the resistance in the next battle to capture Jinling will be much smaller."

Tsukada paused and responded: "Hai!"

While he was talking, a faint cheer suddenly came from outside.

Matsui Iwane frowned and asked, "What's going on? Where did the cheering come from?"

Tsukada went to the window and opened the curtains to take a look, then came back and said with a dark face: "Your Excellency, General, the cheers seem to be coming from the Bund. If I guessed correctly, it should be from the public concession. Only that person heard the broadcast just now and was cheering and celebrating."

"Baga, these lowly and stupid Kina people." Matsui Iwane said bitterly, "They will never understand that only by merging into the empire can China get rid of the bullying of the West, and only by becoming obedient subjects of the empire can China be freed from Western bullying. Slavery!”

Tsukada said ferociously, "That's why only that person should be physically removed."

Matsui Iwane nodded: "If it doesn't work, let's remove it physically."

"Hai!" Tsukada said in a ferocious voice, "I will give an order to the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and the Tenth Army when I get back. No chickens or dogs will be left in any villages, towns or cities along the way from Songhu to Jinling!"



The national troops in western Shanghai were scrambling to flee.

Young people in Songhu are rushing to jump into the river.

Mrs. Zhang, who was awakened by the popping sound, shook her head.

"These young people are really smart."

"Forget about the parade so early in the morning and jumping into the river, I just can't think about it."

Zhang Yifu came back from buying buns downstairs. When he heard his wife chattering, he couldn't help but said: "They didn't commit suicide by jumping into the river. They wanted to join the national army on the other side of the river."

"You want Nonggang? I don't know that?" Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You are talking about joining the national army. I'm warning Nong not to go."

Zhang Yifu felt guilty that he had been seen through, and muttered: "I didn't say anything."

Mrs. Zhang grabbed Zhang Yifu's ears and said coquettishly: "You can't even think about it."

While the couple was flirting, more young people jumped into the Suzhou River downstairs.

In fact, from last night to now, young people have been jumping into the river. Because the British army has set up a roadblock at the New Junk Bridge, they can only jump into the Suzhou River and swim across it.

The Songhu Independent Group really inspired the Chinese people this time.



Nanjing, Qilu.

Chairman Standing's hands, which were peeling eggs, suddenly paused slightly.

The two questions Sophia asked at the end touched him.

The official who accompanied him to breakfast and dinner observed his appearance and immediately said: "Young people nowadays are really becoming more and more unruly. Even if they have attended a military academy for a few years and know something about military affairs, they will at best be at the level of a combat consultant in the staff office. How can you say anything about the situation in Songhu?"

"Well, the speaker is not guilty, there is no harm in talking." Chairman of the Standing Committee waved his hand.

"Uh..." The official could only shut up and flattered the horse.

At that moment, the two began to listen exclusively to the recorded interview being played on the radio.

"I just said so much, and I can sum it up in just one sentence. Due to serious strategic mistakes, the complete erosion of the war situation is inevitable."

"Chief of Staff Yan, you mean that the top brass of the government lack strategic vision, right?"

"No, no, you have misunderstood. In fact, there is no shortage of talents with profound strategic vision at the top of the national government. General Jiang Fangzhen, for example, is a real talent. He made accurate predictions about the Sino-Japanese War. He wrote in the National Defense Theory I really like what he said."

"He fights quickly, but I hold on for a long time, making him exhausted; the center of his force is on the first line, and I put it on the second line, making it temporarily powerful but useless."

"Unfortunately, General Jiang Fangzhen only has advisory power but no decision-making power. Otherwise, why would the Battle of Songhu be like this!"

Hearing this, Chairman Chang's face was already very ugly, because this was almost pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, but he still managed to hold it back with his Qi nourishing skills.

"Chief of Staff Yan, are you saying that the high-level officials of the national government made wrong decisions?"

"If the decision was correct, how could there be such a big defeat?"

"No matter how weak the national army is, it will never suffer such a disastrous defeat!"

"The most troublesome thing is that the national army has no reserves available, so there is a high probability that this rout will continue all the way to Jinling, and even Jinling will be lost."

"Here I sincerely suggest that the senior officials of the government, if they cannot find a general who has the courage to fight against Jinling, and if they are reluctant to part with the troops defending the city, it is best not to be obsessed with protecting Jinling. Jinling can actually be given up. There is nothing wrong with the policy of exchanging space for time.”

"It's just necessary to evacuate the millions of people in Jinling City in advance."

"Because the He Human race is a barbaric and ignorant nation at heart, most of their senior generals will foolishly believe that as long as they carry out a massacre in Jinling City, they can force the Chinese nation to surrender to them! Beware of this, absolutely!"

"That's nonsense!" Chairman Standing Committee could not hold back any longer and was so angry that he slapped the peeled eggs on the dining table. "There is no way Aurous Hill will be lost!"

The eggs are broken!



One night passed, and Xie Jinyuan was still worried about last night's interview.

To be more precise, I can't let go of those last words I said to Yan Yan.

Because those harsh words were clearly challenging the principal's authority.

Xie Jinyuan can understand why the Songhu Independent Regiment pursues the policy of independent resistance.

But he couldn't agree with the president's blatant challenge to his authority during the interview.

While having "dinner", Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but ask again: "Chief of Staff, do you have to say that? You should know very well what will happen to Sophia's recorded interview once it is broadcast. as a result of."

"What?" Yan Yan asked Xie Jinyuan with a smile, "Is the regiment leader worried that the Chairman of the Standing Committee will hold a grudge because of this? He will come to settle accounts with us after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?"

"It's you I'm worried about." Xie Jinyuan frowned, "You are cutting yourself off!"

"A way out?" Yan Yan said suddenly, "Commander, we are alone behind enemy lines in Songhu with less than one regiment, do we still need to leave a way out?"

"This..." Xie Jinyuan was suddenly speechless.

Yes, do they still need to leave a way out?

Anyway, he didn't think he could get out alive.

After a long while, Xie Jinyuan said helplessly: "But there is no need to say it in the interview. We can send the message to the principal through other channels."

"Other channels are useless. Chairman Standing Committee will not listen at all." Yan Yan said abruptly, "Even if we openly put pressure on the radio, he may not listen. A philosopher once said that no one can convince anyone. people."

"So you don't need to say it." Xie Jinyuan sighed.

Yan Xin said that I could not say it, but my conscience was uneasy.

No one can ignore the three hundred thousand innocent souls.
