Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Director Chen's affairs are my affairs, and since Chief Li and I are heroes and cherish heroes, I naturally have to be perfect!"

"Ahem, thank you so much, Commander Yang! I, I'm going to send a power call to Chief Li right now!"

The speaker had no intention of the listener, so Yang Fan just said it casually, but Chen Bulei would get the wrong meaning, and his words were a bit awkward!

"Lian'er, I have to leave beforehand!"

Chen Bulei gave his daughter a strange look, and walked out of the suite with brisk steps!

Chen Lian was the youngest daughter of Chen Bui. Shortly after she was born in 1919, her mother Yang Hongnong (Pinxian) died of puerperal fever.

Chen Bulei loves his young daughter very much, and named her "Lian'er".

"Okay! Dad, go slowly! I have to play with Haohao more!"

Chen Lian nodded happily, feeling nothing unusual at all.

On June 1938, 6, newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao" and "Shen Shen" published in Hankou published the shocking Zhengzhou Telegraph of the Central News Agency:

"When the enemy attacked our position near Zhongmu on the 9th, because our left wing resisted firmly based on the Yellow River, the enemy continued to bombard heavily with aircraft and artillery, and bombarded a section of the embankment of the Yellow River, causing a breach.

The water is flooding and the situation is serious.

After the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River was breached by violent enemies, the torrential yellow water flooded southeast from Zhongmou and Baisha.

Therefore, such brutal and inhumane acts of violence can neither destroy our resistance to the war, but also increase our determination to kill the enemy. "

The next day, the Central News Agency sent another message:

"More than 12 enemy planes flew to the Zhaokou area on the south bank of the Yellow River on the morning of the [-]th, bombarding them wantonly, dropping dozens of bombs and destroying several villages.

The bombing was also expanded at the breach of the Yellow River, until the water became more and more fierce and could not be rescued. "

Naturally, such a major accident and disaster at Huayuankou’s embankment cannot be concealed from the world. The Central News Agency of the Republic of China naturally had to preemptively strike and shift the responsibility to the Japanese!

Soon the news that Japanese planes blew up the embankment of the Yellow River spread to the north and south of the Great Wall through radio stations, news newspapers and other means of communication.

The whole country was shaken for a while, and all the Chinese people resented the brutal and evil deeds of the Japanese army. The sentiment of hatred and resistance against Japan skyrocketed again. The international community was also paying close attention to this, and many foreign newspapers also published reports.

"Baga! This is utter slander!"

The Japanese government reacted immediately, and the radio station and the newspaper spoke with the same caliber, trying to clarify that the incident was not done by the Japanese military, but that China blamed Japan.

On June 6, Chen Cheng held a press conference for Chinese and foreign journalists in Hankou, where he reported the passage of Japanese planes bombing the Huayuankou river embankment.

A reporter from the Associated Press asked: "The Japanese claim that the Huayuankou river embankment breach was framed by the Chinese government! The Japanese side is also a victim of this disaster! What's your comment, Mr. Minister?"

"Nonsense! Shameless!"

Chen Cheng was filled with indignation, and said in an extremely stern tone:

"The brutal Japanese invaders occupied our land and slaughtered our people, but they often use deceptive propaganda to whitewash the peace!

These thieves never know how to repent, and this time they are even more bloody, transferring the crime of destroying the embankment to us, it is really outraged by both people and gods!

The so-called rumors stop with the wise, I believe they will never confuse the fair people in the world. "

At this time, the reporter from Agence France-Presse continued to ask: "Mr. Minister, is the Chinese government planning to block the broken dike?"

"Because of the heavy rain in the upper reaches, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and the Japanese army expanded the bombing at the breach, causing a large-scale breach of the embankment, which could not be rescued for a while."

Chen Cheng said in a very low tone: "Although the plugging project is extremely difficult, the government will spare no effort to block the breach as soon as possible to reduce the suffering of the residents in the war zone! At this moment, the frontline soldiers are working on it, please rest assured!"

A reporter from "Shenbao" asked: "It is reported that tens of thousands of disaster victims have gathered near Zhengzhou. They have no food or clothing. The situation is pitiful. Does the government have any rescue measures?"

Chen Cheng replied solemnly: "While providing first aid, the Executive Yuan and the Central Disaster Relief Committee are formulating more powerful strategies and will take action within a few days."

"I have a small request. I hope that I can do an on-site interview at Huayuankou, so as to further publicize the atrocities committed by the Japanese army to the world."

"Yeah! We want the same request!"

"That's right, the Japanese invaders destroyed my homeland and blasted the banks of the Yellow River, causing great disasters to the Chinese nation. We must be present to expose and condemn more deeply!"

The British reporter's proposal was immediately approved by all reporters, and the audience was excited.

"Well...you can consider it."

Chen Cheng pondered and said: "It's just that Japanese planes often go to Huayuankou to bomb and shoot recently. In order to ensure safety, please wait until it is calmer before going."

After the press conference, Chen Cheng immediately went to see Chairman Jiang!

Chairman Jiang asked: "Have you agreed?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "I think it's necessary to use their pens to promote for us. Such insane war crimes committed by the Japanese army will definitely arouse the common hatred of the people of the country!"

"Well, that's what I meant too."

Generalissimo Jiang nodded and immediately instructed Lin Wei: "Prepare a detailed written document on the bombing of the embankment by the Japanese plane, and the officer of the Huayuankou garrison will read it to the reporter."

Chinese and foreign journalists drove to Huayuankou in the afternoon of June 6, and were led into Jiang Zaizhen's political office.

Peng Zhenzhen, the head of the group, read the materials about the direction of the Japanese plane, the number of sorties, the time of the bombing, and the location where the bomb was shot. The reporters heard the notes, and there was a "rustling" sound.

Then, the reporters went to the breach site. A reporter measured the crater with a branch, and someone asked, "The crater is less than two meters deep, and the embankment is 20 meters thick. Can it be blown up?"

Peng Zhenzhen replied: "This is the least powerful bomb dropped by the Japanese plane."

Luo Zhen went on to say: "The breach is in the bend of the river, and the embankment has already collapsed due to the impact of the water for many years."

"Oh okay!"

"I see!"

The reporters nodded.

At this time, near the Huayuan entrance, there were a large number of shirtless sergeants and migrant workers, trying to block the breach.

I saw thousands of people on the shore and in the boat, tying sorghum stalks wrapped with stones, pushing them into the water, and the stones fell like raindrops.

Large and small wooden boats were dragged and pushed towards the breach, and the chant was loud and rhythmic, making the scene quite spectacular.

After half a day of interviews, the reporters returned with satisfaction. The Japanese army blew up the Huayuankou embankment and caused the Yellow River to divert.

After Huayuankou broke the embankment, the Japanese Doihara Division and Nakajima Division were forced to retreat eastward due to the threat of flooding.

The Japanese army's plan to invade Wuhan along both sides of the Longhai Line was frustrated, and they had to change their deployment. The Japanese army's capture of Wuhan from the Yangtze River was delayed by three months.

"Replacing soldiers with water" blocked the enemy's advance. Although it temporarily prevented the Japanese army from continuing to advance westward, it brought huge disasters to the general public.Nearly 90 people were killed in the torrent, and tens of millions of people were displaced, forming a yellow flood zone that suffered years of famine.

Chapter 364 This Friend Is Worth Making

"Boss, the Japanese devils are really a group of beasts with no lower limit. How could our great China suffer so many disasters! These beasts will die!"

Xie Bolian sobbed softly with tears streaming down her eyes. This time she was ordered to lead a team to the site of the bursting of the embankment at Huayuankou for on-the-spot interviews, and she saw too many horrific human tragedies!

Xia Yu sobbed: "Boss, we must avenge the common people and kill all the little devils!"

"The inhuman and anti-human crimes of the Japanese army must be severely condemned and exposed. Liu Qiang notified Gaomi Radio Station and Gaomi Guangming Day to step up intensive pushes and detailed follow-up reports!"

After seeing the photos and videos taken by Xie Bolian, Xia Yu and others, Yang Fan was also heartbroken, especially when he saw the corpses of refugees drifting on the river and died in the wild, his eyes couldn't help but become blurred!

Although Yang Fan knew the truth, he could only utter the same voice now, because at this time it is too necessary for everyone to unite and fight against the enemy, and in the final analysis, the culprit lies with the Japanese devils.

The national army really has nothing to do now, and it lacks enough confidence and courage to stop the Japanese soldiers. If Zhengzhou and Wuhan fall too early, Luoyang, Xi'an and even the rear of Southwest China will be seriously threatened.

If it is true that even the rear of the Southwest has been occupied by devils, then it is not far from the end of the country and species, so no matter what, we have to get through the current difficulties first!

Since the disaster has happened again according to the historical track, then only "the merits and demerits of the ages will be left to future generations to comment on"!

"Okay! Chief! These goddamn bastards will all die!"

Liu Qiang's face was ferocious, and only then did he fully understand why Yang Fan felt so depressed when he heard that Huayuankou's embankment burst. It turned out that the disaster of the Yellow River's embankment burst would be so large and violent, completely beyond the limit of his imagination!

After a pause, Yang Fan went on to say: "The rescue work for the victims will continue to be strengthened, and the number of people we can save is counted! Don't be afraid of crowds, as long as you have the ability to bring them back, they will all be brought to our defense zone!"

The refined rice in the system mall only costs 80 wealth points per meal. Even if he brings 100 million disaster victims over, Yang Fan can easily afford it.

What's more, in the current era, there are many people and powerful forces, with powerful means and military power. The more natural people come, the better, and we are not afraid of famine and chaos at all!

"Okay! I will follow up on this work! Please rest assured, Chief!"

Liu Qiang nodded again, then turned and walked out of the office!

At this time, Xia Yu said again: "Boss, this time I met my former boss Powell in Zhengzhou, and he really wanted to interview you face to face! Powell has always been very sympathetic to us Huaxia, he is a good person! I don't know the boss, can you Have you seen him?"

"Oh?"

Yang Fan frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "No problem! Where is he now?"

Xia Yu replied: "Go back to the chief, I made it my own initiative to let him return to Gaomi with the helicopter, and he is currently waiting outside the gate of the county government!"

"That's it!"

After pondering for a while, Yang Fan said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, you just wait for him to come to see me now!"

"Respected Commander Yang, thank you very much for your interview, I finally have the honor to see your real face!"

As soon as he entered the office, Powell spoke fluent Chinese, shook hands with Yang Fan and said hello, as if he had been an old friend for many years.

In 1917, Powell came to Huaxia Shanghai for the first time and has been with Huaxia for 25 years since then.He first worked for the "Miller's Review" and became the owner and editor of the newspaper five years later.

He traveled all over China, interviewed many important political figures at that time, was often a guest of dignitaries from all over the world, and also came into contact with the life at the bottom of society that suffered from the war.

Powell also traveled to the former Soviet Union, Japan, the Philippines and other countries, so he was very familiar with the political and military situation in the Far East in the 30s and [-]s, and made in-depth reports on the major events that occurred that year.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Powell, as a reporter, often disclosed the Japanese army's aggressive plots and crimes, and was attacked and retaliated many times.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the Japanese army, suffered inhuman abuse, and his feet were disabled.

In 1942, the U.S. government rescued him and returned home through a prisoner exchange. He died suddenly in Washington in 1947 at the age of 59.

Yang Fan raised his hand, "Haha! I am also very honored to meet Mr. Powell here! I wonder if you are drinking tea or coffee?"

Yang Fan naturally knew the name of John Benjamin Powell, the editor-in-chief of Miller's Review, as well as his integrity and position, so this person is definitely worthy of association.

Powell said with a smile: "Do as the Romans do, just bring me a cup of hot tea."

"it is good!"

Yang Fan nodded, then pointed to the tea cabinet beside him and said, "Xia Yu hurry up and make a cup of Wuyishan Dahongpao for Mr. Powell!"

"thank you very much!"

After Powell was seated, he said very reverently: "Commander Yang, I was really taken aback when I first arrived in your land today, I never dreamed that there is such a mysterious and powerful hot land in the territory of China!

I am really glad to be here, and I firmly believe that this place will become the most memorable and unforgettable holy place in my life!

Commander Yang, you are worthy of being the Chinese hero who made the Japanese invaders fearful. I am gratified and excited that China has such a patron saint as you! "

There is no water in Powell's words, it is really "I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it", although I haven't seen the real core secret, but the modern scene with high-rise buildings and roads extending in all directions is enough to shock me beyond compare!

As an out-and-out Huaxia hand and a well-informed senior reporter, Powell knows what this means.

Yang Fan was already mysterious and powerful enough in Powell's impression. After arriving in Gaomi by helicopter this time, he was deeply impressed and amazed, and his curiosity also skyrocketed!

"Haha! Mr. Powell's praise!"

Yang Fan felt very at ease being so admired by an American, and he was very comfortable, and then chatted happily with Powell.

There are only a few thousand glasses of wine for a bosom friend, and the chatterbox can't be stopped once it is opened, and it keeps talking about lunch time, Yang Fan organizes a meal, and invites Powell to the Gaomi Hotel so that he can't get drunk and never return!

"Xia Yu, treat Mr. Powell well! Meet his needs as much as possible, and let him stay for a few more days!"

After eating, Yang Fan handed over the task of entertaining Powell to Xia Yu, and then returned home.

After arriving home, Yang Fan said to Meng Wu'an who got out of the car to help open the door: "Don't leave, I have something to tell you!"

"Okay! Ok!"

How could Meng Wuan dare to say no, after Yang Fan got off the car, he followed behind him!

Chapter 365 Under the Rewards, There Will Be Brave Men

"Sit down and talk! If you want to drink water, pour it yourself!"

After entering the study, Yang Fan sat down on the sofa and raised his legs against the sofa.

"Hey! Chief, I'm not thirsty!"

Meng Wu'an smiled, and then carefully sat down opposite Yang Fan, but he didn't dare to sit still, only half of his buttocks were leaning on the sofa.

Although her brother-in-law is Yang Fan's younger brother, Meng Wu'an dare not make friends in front of Yang Fan, and has inexplicable awe and reverence for Yang Fan!

"up to you!"
