Chapter 66: Female War Correspondents

Huge fireworks columns hundreds of meters high soared into the sky, lighting up the night sky at the Huangpu River Estuary. Amidst the shrill sirens, dozens of Japanese warships scrambled into chaos, and screams and hysterical shouts resounded through the sky!

This scene was so shocking! Not only Hu Juewen, Wang Yaqiao and others were ecstatic, but countless people from the 19th Route Army on the Songhu defense line witnessed this amazing moment. After a brief shock, they cheered uncontrollably!

"Okay! Well done! Little devil, let's see how rampant you are, you will finally get your retribution!"

156 Brigadier Zhaoyuan wiped the dust off his face and punched the table hard, causing the two teacups to shatter to the ground. However, he didn't care and laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth!

"Brigadier Weng, what happened to surprise you like this?" Inside the headquarters, a Western woman in her forties walked in with her sleeves rolled up. Seeing him being so gloomy, she asked curiously.

Weng Zhaoyuan laughed and said: "Ms. Hull, let me tell you good news! Our brave Predator sank the Japanese warship! Judging from the situation, it is probably their flagship 'Izumo'. Such a happy event should not be

Are you happy?"

"Really?!" Ms. Hull's eyes widened in surprise, and the wrinkles on her forehead that had been tempered by the wind and frost suddenly stretched out, and she smiled happily: "That's really good news! I believe the Japanese will be very sad. No, I

We must go to the front to investigate clearly and try to be the first to write a report."

"Absolutely not!" Weng Zhaoyuan was startled and hurriedly stopped him, "This is too dangerous! You have been captured by the Japanese army once, and now you have been bombed and sunk the warship. They will definitely retaliate wildly. I suggest you wait a moment. The news

I can report it right away."

Ms. Hull lowered her head and thought for a moment, then agreed happily: "Okay. But it would be best if I could meet the specific plan executor. I need the most authentic information."

"That's no problem." Weng Zhaoyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this brave American female reporter would rush to the front line. The danger was really unpredictable!

This Ms. Hull is not a simple person. Her full name is Peggy Hull. She is an American. In 1914, she began to travel with the US military on the border of California and Mexico, writing battlefield news for the "San Francisco Weekly". After the outbreak of World War I, she was not allowed to

When a female reporter went to the front line, she managed to get a passport and visa and ran to Paris to report on the Allied Expeditionary Force parade. In 1918, she finally obtained confirmed qualifications and went to Siberia to report on the battlefield.

Later, she moved to China and joined the English newspaper "Shanghai News" founded by Chen Youren. She worked there for more than ten years. Before the outbreak of the war, she had just become a special correspondent of the "New York Daily News", covering and reporting in Zhabei under a hail of bullets.

She did not give any face to the Japanese army, which made the Japanese very angry. Finally, they caught her once. She gave the name of a senior Japanese fleet officer she had known before and was released. Before leaving, the Japanese officer warned her: "If you

If you continue to be a war reporter, you will die on the battlefield one day."

Ordinary people might be scared, but in Peggy Hull's view, this is a normal thing. She followed the 156th Brigade to the Songhu Defense Line to continue the interview. Although the article she published was not shocking, it was very negative about the Chinese resistance army.

It was of great help. Therefore, Brigadier Weng both liked and had a headache for this lady.

It was completely different from the reaction here. When the middle and upper-level officers of the Japanese army heard such a huge explosion and the series of subsequent bombings, they suddenly became confused and confused!

Tonight, Commander Ueda Kenkichi and a group of senior officers from the staff are on the "Izumo", preparing to meet and hand over to General Shirakawa Yoshinori, who has come to replace him. If the explosion happened there, the consequences would be disastrous.

!Without the command of senior military officers, there will be big trouble!

The Japanese attack that had already gained the upper hand slowed down across the board and shrunk its defensive positions. The remaining warships and artillery began to bombard the defenders' positions frantically to prevent the other side from taking advantage of the chaos to counterattack.

This sudden change caused countless people in Shanghai to lose sleep. The conversation between Zhu Bin and Yu Qiaqing could no longer continue. They looked through the glass window at the sky that was half red. They all knew that this night would change many things.

After the meeting in a hurry, Yu Qiaqing left the "Huizhong Hotel" overnight and rushed to make arrangements to deal with possible crises and troubles. Zhu Bin had a good sleep comfortably and opened the letter sent by the waiter the next morning.

When I read the newspaper, I jumped up in shock and screamed: "He's a jerk! Are these American ladies so deceptive?! Why are you blaming me for this?!"

The headline on the front page of "Shanghai News" is "Iron-blooded warriors sink the "Izumo", the anti-Japanese hero performs another miracle". Next to a photo of fireworks soaring into the sky, there is a bust photo of him in military uniform. The content of the article describes "Iron-blooded warriors sink the "Izumo"

The heroic feat of the "Army" warriors in sinking the Japanese warships was clearly written in it. It was Zhu Hanchen who provided the torpedo help that enabled them to accomplish this feat!

"What kind of heartless guy is this and betrays me with such nonsense! The little devil saw it and hated me to death! What a mess!"

Zhu Bin's forehead felt tight for a while. This report was very ominous and might very well bring him a lot of trouble!

If it comes to gaining fame and limelight, he has already done enough in the early stage. If he goes too far and goes too far, he will force the Japanese to make a desperate move. Although he is not afraid, he is not willing to cause trouble. The big guys in the government

After seeing this, you still hate him to death?

They had already requested a truce overtly and covertly, but suddenly the flagship was bombed and sunk. The Japanese army will definitely not give up. What will happen next will be endless! The government will definitely have to pay a greater price, and the accounts will definitely be counted.

On his head!

On the other hand, the bosses of a group of foreign companies who have just concluded a cooperation may have other opinions. No one is willing to do long-term business with a war madman. That is too dangerous!

"Trouble! Women are trouble!"

Zhu Bin had a headache, but it was hard to settle the score with Peggy Hull. Speaking of which, from the beginning of the Zhabei Anti-Japanese War, this woman said a lot of good things about him and helped a lot to establish his glorious and great image. She is

Reporters, this is what they eat, and the only one to blame is the guy who broke the news.

Thinking about various possibilities in his mind, Zhu Bin left the hotel in a panic and sneaked back to the Jiading station. Before he could catch his breath, he was "escorted" by the guards sent by the Navy and left. The volunteers were then transferred to Baoshan.

County seat, assist in defense.

Zhu Bin only had time to say a few words: "No matter what, take care of the lives and safety of our comrades and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

He was taken directly to Nanjing. After seeing him, Minister Chen Shaokuan said with a half-smile: "You are indeed very capable! You have made great achievements in the blink of an eye! It is said that the Japanese are offering a reward of one million for your head. You said I want to

Why don’t you think about it seriously?”

Adjutant Zheng Datang was stunned. He rarely saw Minister Chen making fun of him. This Zhu Bin was such a blessing!

Zhu Bin was not afraid of stage fright either. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I am really unjust this time! Besides, one million is too little, isn't it? You little devil is really stingy!"

Chen Shaokuan waved his hand: "Okay, okay! Stop being such a talker. You can't stay in the country anymore, so come with me. It will save you a lot of nightmares."

Unable to tolerate Zhu Bin's objection, the group left Nanjing by car early the next morning and transferred to Guangzhou. When they were about to board the ship, they suddenly heard a crisp voice shouting: "Zhu Hanchen!"

Zhu Binxun heard the news and immediately jumped up in shock, blurting out: "What about you? They are all chasing us here!"
