The Battle of Jinguanqiao was a long-lost victory for the Chinese army. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan, the people have been pessimistic about the successive losses of Anqing, Madang, Pengze, Hukou, and Jiujiang, so Chairman Chiang wants to take advantage of this victory to make a big fuss about it, so as to boost the enthusiasm of the whole people to resist Japan.

Mainstream media such as Ta Kung Pao and Xinhua Daily rushed to report on it, and even this battle attracted the attention of foreign media and reprinted it one after another.

In a moment, the 70th Army, the 64th Army, and the 4th Army became famous, especially the 70th Army, which was hyped up by the major mainstream media.

After the remnants of the 70th Army came to Jing'an, they arranged in a military camp in the county seat. Li Jue was even more busy, with the placement of the wounded, troop logistics, and equipment handling......

Li Jue has to do all this himself. After the battle, the 70th Army was left with the 19th Division, three of the four regiment commanders of the 19th Division were killed, and most of the battalion, company, and platoon officers were killed. Therefore, now the establishment of the 19th Division is in a state of chaos, and Li Jue is busy for a minute and can't leave. And Shao Fei's special combat team members can only wander around Jing'an Street with nothing to do.

"Big brother, what's in our dinner?"

"That's right, Commander Li agreed."

"We have helped the 70th Army so much, we always ask for land for a meal."

“……”

The team members complained strangely, originally wanting to eat Li Jue with their stomachs saved, but now they ......

Li Jue promised the special combat team to invite them to a big dinner when they returned to Jing'an, but now he had no time to withdraw.

The pillar walked at the front of the line, and replied without looking back: "Who are you fighting for, and you don't have any consciousness at all." There are steamed bun shops on the side of the road, buy a few Kenken. ”

Shao Fei smiled: "Complain about a fart!" Brother took you to fight in the south and the north, and traveled all over the great rivers and mountains. Let's just say that this Jing'an County has a history that can be traced back to the Wuyue struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period. Can't you change your mindset and come here to travel at public expense? Also, the land of Wuyue is a place where beautiful women are born. ”

"Where? Where? ”

The knife looked left and right, and suddenly found a large group of pedestrians not far away watching something strange, so the team members hurriedly stepped forward to find out.

I saw a large group of people surrounding a woman, her skin as white as snow, blonde hair and blue eyes. A tight-fitting dress vividly sets off her bumpy figure. No matter what she looked, the men's eyes invariably shifted to the ditch below.

"The first time I saw a foreign beauty."

"She's dressed too openly."

Knife drooled, "I like summer."

The woman did not feel any shyness at all, and continued to walk slowly and thoughtfully through the streets, revealing a sense of loss in her eyes.

Shao Fei could tell at a glance that she was a war correspondent, because her shoes did not match the revealing clothes, they were a pair of mountain shoes.

At this time, Xiaodao suddenly stood in front of the woman and said, "Beauty, can you have a meal with your face?"

"This kid plays hooligan when he sees a beautiful woman."

"I'm hungry."

The two team members teased. And the woman was confused, as if she understood or not, and replied in English: "Dinner? Why? ”

Knife also replied in half-hung English: "Yes, eat."

"Thank you for the invitation, but I have something very important."

At this time, Shao Fei said in standard English: "You are a war correspondent, right?"

The woman was stunned, because she didn't have anything to prove her identity, and there was Shao Fei, who was wearing plain clothes but spoke very standard English.

The woman asked, "Who are you?"

Xiaodao replied: "Chinese soldiers."

The woman was suddenly surprised and delighted, and said, "I have time, I invite you to dinner."

Shao Fei smiled: "Forget it, so many of us will eat you." Look at you, what's going on? ”

The woman told Shao Fei that her name was Leiter. Jenny is a war correspondent. I wanted to come over to interview General Li Jue, but he was too busy to refuse.

"Hehe, really."

Shao Feixiao Li Jue didn't know the priority, the Battle of Jinguanqiao should be known to the world, and it was best for the people of the world to know about it.

Shao Fei said: "This is on me, I will let you interview General Li Jue now."

"Are you telling the truth? Thank you so much. ”

Jenny's expression changed suddenly, and her face was happy.

Immediately, Jenny hurriedly returned to her hotel to get the camera, and Shao Fei led her to the temporary camp of the 70th Army in Jing'an, where Li Jue was busy placing the captured strategic materials.

Li Jue found that Shao Fei and the others were walking towards him, stepped forward and asked, "Why did you bring a foreign girl here?" ”

"I'm not a, I'm a miss!"

Jenny hurriedly explained that the word "girl" was a vulgar word in her eyes. Shao Fei on the side laughed inwardly, the word "Miss" was no better.

Because Jenny's voice was too loud, the soldiers around Zhou all looked over in unison, and the soldiers were so engrossed that they even forgot about the work in hand.

Shao Fei explained: "She is a journalist and wants to interview the general and this battle. ”

Jenny interjected, "I was here before, but was stopped by an officer who said you were busy. ”

Li Jue gave Jenny a lot of time and said with a smile: "I'm very busy, next time." Also, please don't dress so revealingly in the army. ”

Jenny hurriedly explained: "I don't usually wear this, I want to see the general, so I dress more formally, this is a respect for you." ”

This is the difference between the thinking of Easterners and Westerners, Shao Fei understands but Li Jue does not. Shao Fei said: "Let's ask the general to be interviewed, this is your obligation, you have the obligation to let the world know the process of this battle, as well as the bravery of the 70th Army." It's more rewarding than winning a battle. ”

"Okay then, I'll give you this face."

What Shao Fei said was not unreasonable, and Li Jue agreed to be interviewed.

General Li Jue showed Jenny the trophies: machine guns, rifles, gas masks, signal flags, binoculars, Japanese officers' swords, a "thousand-needle belt" amulet taken from the deceased, and many diaries and letters.

After Jenny took the photo, Li Jue explained in detail the course of the battle and the bravery of the 19th Division.

After everything was done, Li Jue took Jenny to his headquarters again, and took out a copy of the diary of a Japanese squadron leader captured by Shao Fei before, as well as his family photo.

Jenny looked at the bloody diary and flipped through a few pages, and said, "I can't read it, do you know what is written in it?" ”

"I don't know, but he does."

After Li Jue finished speaking, he pointed to Shao Fei, and Shao Fei said: "The content in it is very precious, not only the evidence of the Jinguanqiao battle, but also the best evidence of Japanese fascist aggression." I hope you can show it to the world. ”

Jenny promised, "I will, but I can't read it, can you translate it for me?" ”

Shao Fei resolutely agreed: "I can only translate into Chinese, and I am afraid that there will be something missing when translating into English." You should know Chinese, right? ”

"Thank you."

"It's because we thank you for running half the world to such a dangerous place and showing the world the sins of the Japanese army. I'll translate it and send it to you as soon as possible. ”

After the interview, Jenny left the command contented.

Li Jue smiled: "Are you kid taking a fancy to others, I heard that foreign women are very open." ”

Shao Fei was very serious and said: "I just don't want the 70th Army to be forgotten by history." ”

This diary was later mentioned in Trey's book China at War:

In August 1938, the war went well for the Chinese. They believe that compared to a few months, the current Japanese soldiers are not so terrible. In particular, if the Japanese advance in the area, they must first seize the hill, and fighting on the hill is clearly beneficial to the Chinese army. However, General Lee told me that he was very worried that the Japanese army would soon use poison gas on a large scale......

Then, at the back of the book, he added some of the contents of the diary, and finally wrote:

This Japanese officer's diary is only here, because on August 5, he and the officers and men of the whole squadron were wiped out by the Chinese army, and their souls wandered forever in the land of Nanxun......

Writing this, my mood has been difficult to calm down for a long time. The Japanese militarists launched this criminal war with all their militarism, and they inflicted great disasters on the Chinese people. At the same time, they themselves have suffered their own consequences, and countless young lives have died in foreign lands.
