Nanjing Huangpu Road, resting house.

The rest house is the official residence of Chairman Jiang, and the other two official residences of Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, Tangshan Villa and Meiling Palace, are more used for vacation and leisure.

Every morning after a walk, Chairman Chiang would rest on the terrace on the second floor of the official residence for a while, look at the scenery, listen to the sound of the trumpet during the training of the cadets of the Central Military Academy, and then the mood and energy would be good all day!

It's just that after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, the cadets of the Central Military Academy had already graduated ahead of schedule and went to the front, so the entire campus fell silent all of a sudden.

Chairman Jiang stood on the terrace on the second floor, the scenery was still the same, but he always felt that something was missing.

After a long time, Chairman Jiang said to Qian Dajun, the director of the chamberlain standing behind him, "Mu Yin, turn on the radio." ”

Qian Dajun agreed, immediately stepped forward to turn on the radio on the coffee table, and tuned to the Central News Agency.

Because Qian Dajun knew very well that Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun was going to make a radio speech this morning, and Chairman Jiang was going to listen to Yu Hongjun's speech.

As soon as the radio was turned on, Yu Hongjun's deep voice came from inside: "Soldiers from all over the world, hearing that righteousness is going to be difficult, the day is coming, and they are building trenches with their flesh and blood on the front line, and there is no retreat!" The position was reduced to ashes, the military spirit was still as strong as iron stone, and the courage of the battle and the fierceness of the death were enough to show the spirit of national independence! Lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of China! ”

Before he finished speaking, Chairman Jiang sighed and said, "Mu Yin, it's better to close it." ”

"Yes!" Qian Dajun agreed, turned off the radio again, and Yu Hongjun's voice was immediately inaudible.

Qian Dajun could probably guess Chairman Jiang's mood at this moment, no matter how good Yu Hongjun's speech is, it will not change the fact that Shanghai has fallen after all! This largest and richest international metropolis in the Far East will no longer belong to China from this day on, let alone when and when it will return to China's embrace?

Perhaps, it will never return.

Of course, what Chairman Chiang was most concerned about was that after the fall of Shanghai, the Nationalist Government would lose 40 percent of its tax revenue, and the already stretched financial situation would only be even worse!

However, at this time, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, suddenly came up.

"Good news!" Wang Shihe couldn't hide the joy between his eyebrows, and stepped forward and said, "Dai Li, director of the Operations Department of the Fuxing Society, called and said that the 367th Regiment had eliminated the division headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division in one fell swoop last night, killing more than 200 people from the Sixth Division, the division commander Gu Shoufu! ”

"Really?" Chairman Jiang Huo Ran turned around, "Kill a lieutenant general?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe nodded heavily, "Kill a lieutenant general, plus seven adjutants!" ”

"Niang Xipi, well done!" Chairman Jiang smacked hard, and said to Qian Dajun, "Mu Yin, you quickly call the Central News Agency and ask Yu Hongjun to add this good news!" This proves that my Chinese martial soul is still there, no matter how ferocious the foreign enemy is, my dignified China will not give in easily! ”

"Yes!" Qian Dajun turned around and hurriedly left.

Seeing Qian Dajun's figure leave, Chairman Jiang finally showed a smile on his face, and said softly: "This Zhong Yi really doesn't stop, and he will make some movement from time to time." ”

Wang Shihe said: "However, the movement he made is a bit big. ”

"Not really." Chairman Jiang said, "First of all, we destroyed a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, and then we ended up a division and regiment headquarters of the Japanese army and killed a lieutenant general of the Japanese army. ”

Wang Shihe said: "But in this way, Zhong Yi will be in danger." ”

After a pause, Wang Shihe whispered again: "Commission, do you want to send troops to pick it up?" ”

Chairman Jiang hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, forget it." ”

It's not that Chairman Chiang doesn't want to, but now he really can't find troops to meet the 367th Regiment.

……

Almost at the same time, the Japanese army also officially held a press conference at the headquarters of the Marine Corps in Shanghai.

Originally, the Japanese army did not dare to brazenly publicize the Sino-Japanese war, and it was even more unthinkable to hold a press conference, because the Japanese side always cared about the reaction of the Western powers and feared that the West would interfere.

However, the just-concluded Nine-Nation Conference gave little Japan confidence.

Because the Nine-Power Pact at the meeting in Brussels only symbolically admonished Japan.

At this time, the Japanese government has thoroughly figured out the bottom line of Western countries - it will not intervene in the China incident!

Therefore, as soon as the Battle of Songhu ended, the Japanese side could not wait to hold a press conference in order to announce to the West the fact that from today onwards, the Chinese community in Shanghai will be under the sole control of Japan!

Journalists from all Western countries were invited to the press conference in Shanghai.

In addition, the lineup of the Japanese military to attend the press conference was also unprecedented.

In addition to the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, Kimasa Okamoto, and the military attache in China, Fuichi Honda, even invited the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Matsui Ishone, and the division commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susumu.

Susumu Fujita first showed a photo to the Western journalists present.

The photo was taken at the Shanghai Municipal Government in Longhua, but the originally magnificent city hall has now become a ruin, and a group of Japanese soldiers with loaded guns are standing on the ruins and raising their hands and cheering.

Fujita Jin pointed to the photo and said triumphantly: "Here, I would like to first inform you of the good news, before yesterday evening, the imperial army had captured the city government in Shanghai, that is to say, the imperial army had completely expelled the government army from Shanghai and completely won the victory in the Battle of Songhu!" ”

Okamoto Jimasa then said: "I would like to tell you the good news, it will not be long before the government of Shina will announce its surrender, and Shanghai and the entire Far East will soon be able to restore the original order!" In addition, I can assure everyone that the Empire of Japan will do its utmost to safeguard the interests of all countries in China. ”

At this time, a reporter asked: "Mr. Consul General, are you really sure that the Chinese government will soon announce its surrender?" ”

"Yes, I'm pretty sure." Okamoto Jimasado, "Before the Battle of Songhu, I said that the Shina government would announce its surrender within three months, this is not nonsense, but there is a basis!" ”

Another reporter retorted: "But as far as I know, the Chinese Jun team does not seem to have lost the will to resist. ”

"No, no, you're not right." Okamoto Jimasa said, "I can tell you responsibly that the Shina army has been defeated by the Imperial Army, and they have completely lost the will to resist! In the face of the pursuit of the Japanese Imperial Army, the Chinese army could not even organize a decent blockade, and only knew that they were swarming towards their capital Nanjing, and fled! ”
