Chapter 99: Provocation
Half an hour later, some foreign businessmen and reporters living here in Suzhou City were all "invited" by Kong Xiangjie to the street outside Tianxiang Inn.
At this time, in addition to the fully armed National Army soldiers guarding guards of three steps, one stairs and one stroll, many Chinese civilians were gathered on both sides of the street, including men, women, old and young.
Bess is a Frenchman. His hobbies are travel and photography. Two years ago, he fell in love with Suzhou, the Jiangnan water town, and set up a newspaper with several foreign colleagues.
Although China and Japan are fighting now, because he has French nationality, the Japanese did not cause trouble for him and his friends after capturing Suzhou City. However, Bes was very angry about the actions of the Japanese army toward Chinese civilians after entering the city. Japanese soldiers often killed innocent people and plundered them can be said to be a vicious act.
For this, Beth also went to the Japanese headquarters to protest with several other Americans, British and Soviets, but several times they were driven out by the vicious Japanese guards.
When he learned that the Chinese army had fought back, Beth and others could not believe that the Chinese army, which was defeated like a mountain, could not even be saved in their capital, Nanjing.
However, the facts soon proved that the Chinese army had indeed returned. What made Beth even more unbelievable was that this Chinese army was very powerful in combat. The originally arrogant Japanese army quickly collapsed under their troops and fled in disgrace.
However, what Beth never expected was that after entering the city, these Chinese troops, like wolves and tigers, rushed to their newspapers very savagely and forced them to come here.
"I bought it. You rough Chinese soldiers, I want to see your commander. We are from Western countries, not Japanese. You have no right to capture us!" Beth complained loudly with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, barbaric Chinese soldiers, why do you bastards arrest us? We are journalists, you can't treat us like this." Several other foreigners also protested in unison.
However, they spoke either English or French, and none of the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Ben were able to understand.
"Okay, I'll stop you. I'm whining. I'll shoot you with one shot!" A big-headed soldier shouted impatiently. As he said that, he pulled the bolt and pointed the gun at Beth and others.
"Ok, OK, don't be impulsive..." Beth and others also couldn't understand the reprimand of the Big Head, but they could see the Big Head's impatientness, and they could only choose to surrender in the face of the gun.
Suddenly, Qiao Anbang strode out of the inn surrounded by Qiao Anguo and other officers. At the same time, four guards with live ammunition also dragged out like a tied Asakagumi Hatohiko who was tied up like a dead dog.
"Hey, sir, why did you arrest us? What crime did we commit?" Beth saw Qiao Anbang wearing a colonel officer at a glance, and quickly shouted loudly in English.
Suddenly hearing English, Qiao Anbang was stunned. He was from Tsinghua University in his previous life, and English was just a small meaning to him. He looked at Bes with a little fearful face and the foreigners behind him. Qiao Anbang immediately asked in English without replying, "What's your name? What are you doing? Which country?"
When he saw Qiao Anbang could speak English, Bess was very excited. It was too difficult to communicate with a group of Chinese soldiers who did not understand English. He quickly replied: "Sir, my name is Bes, French. I am a reporter. The people behind me are my colleagues. May I ask, why did your subordinates arrest us? You do this in violation of the Geneva Convention..."
"Mr. Bess, don't be afraid. My subordinates invite you to come because they want to invite you to see a good show. After the show is finished, you can leave freely." Qiao Anbang waved his hand with a smile.
"Watch the show?" Beth was puzzled.
"Yes." Qiao Anbang nodded, then turned his head and pointed at the dying Asakamiya Hirohiko who was beaten by the soldiers on the ground beside him and said coldly: "This person is the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Battle of the Japanese Invaders in Shanghai. At the same time, he is also the uncle of the current Japanese Emperor, Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya Hirohiko. However, now he is a prisoner of war from the Tiger Band of the Democratic Revolutionary Army of our country."
"Oh my God? Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya?" Beth and others were shocked when they heard this. As foreigners, they naturally knew how important the identity of the Japanese prisoner of war in front of them was.
In addition to being shocked, Bes and others looked at Qiao Anbang with admiration. The very young Chinese officer in front of him had created a miracle. They actually captured members of the Japanese royal family and commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Battle of the Japanese invading China. Bes, who was a reporter, immediately thought that this would be an explosive news that shocked the whole world, especially Japan and China.
Thinking of this, Beth looked up at Qiao Anbang and asked uncertainly: "Sir, what do you need us to do?"
"Hmph, it's quite smart." Qiao Anbang snorted secretly, and then said with a dark and stern look: "Do your old job and take photos."
After saying this, Qiao Anbang suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Bes, this is a generous gift, definitely what you need."
"Sir, what are your conditions?" Beth thought Joanbang wanted to accept their interview, but he had to give him a certain fee.
"The condition is that you must spread the picture you shot without revealing, so that this matter can be spread all over the world, and that the people of the world know about it." Qiao Anbang replied unexpectedly.
"It's that simple?" Seeing that Joanbang nodded affirmatively, Beth shrugged and nodded quickly, "Yes, it's absolutely fine. Even if you don't ask, we will do this."
"Yeah." Qiao Anbang nodded, and was about to order preparation, but Beth suddenly said: "But, sir, the guys we use, such as cameras, are still in the newspaper."
"Don't worry, I've prepared this for you." Qiao Anbang said that, and waved his hand. Several soldiers had already brought up several brand new cameras. This was what Qiao Anbang asked Yali to take out from the aircraft.
After several foreign journalists were arranged, Zhang Xudong also prepared five wheeled armored combat vehicles, and each chariot was tied with thick hemp ropes as Qiao Anbang's request.
As Qiao Anbang waved his hand, the four soldiers raised the scared Hitohiko Asakamiya, who was already incontinent, and strode towards the intersection not far away.
The people present followed and soon arrived at the intersection. When Beth saw several armored combat vehicles parked at the intersection, there were also very thick baby ropes tied behind the vehicle. He couldn't help but ask Qiao Anbang in confusion: "Sir, can I ask, are you planning to deal with this Japanese royal prisoner of war?"
"Five cars were dismembered!" Qiao Anbang replied lukewarmly. Without waiting for Bes to speak, Qiao Anbang took a big step forward, looked around the people around him, and then jumped onto an armored chariot and pointed at the Hikari Asakamami who had been put on his limbs and heads by the soldiers with hemp ropes and shouted sternly: "Friends, do you know who he is?"
"Japanese devils..." the people present answered in unison.
"Yes! He is a Japanese devil, but he is not an ordinary devil. He is also the uncle of the current Japanese emperor, Prince Hirohiko Asakamiya! This person is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army. His hands are covered with the blood of our Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. He is our irreconcilable enemy!" Qiao Anbang raised his arms and said loudly.
The people present inevitably had relatives and friends who were killed by the Japanese during the fall of Suzhou, so they took the lead and shouted: "Kill him, kill him."
"Yes! Kill him, kill him, and avenge the dead compatriots! Avenge!" The people present followed and shouted.
"Execution!" Qiao Anbang waved his hand and ordered sternly.
Suddenly, several armored soldiers started the armored vehicles, and the five armored vehicles slowly drove in different directions. Soon, the rope that helped Asakamiya Hirohiko was tightened, and Asakamiya Hirohiko was pulled up and left the ground.
Beth and several other foreign reporters quickly pressed the shutter and started taking pictures.
The people present and the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Ben Group held their breaths one after another, and looked at Asakamiya Hikari in the middle of the five armored vehicles with all concentration.
As the armored vehicle moved, Asakagumiya Hirohiko began to let out a pig-killing howl, and some timid people turned their faces one after another.
"Bang...bang..." As the armored vehicle accelerated suddenly, Asakagumiya Hirohiko's howling like a pig stopped suddenly, and her whole body was torn into pieces by a huge pulling force, and her intestines and other internal organs were blew all over the floor with blood.
Many people were so disgusted by the scene in front of them that they vomited continuously.
Qiao Anbang raised his arms and shouted and said sternly: "This is the fate of the invaders. Those who offend me, will be killed without mercy!"
"Ticticaca" Bes and others repeatedly pressed the shutter, capturing the tragic phenomenon of Asakamiya Hirohiko being dismembered by five cars and the scene of Qiao Anbang raising his arms and shouting.
The people present cheered loudly:
"Long live the national army! Long live the Chinese nation! Those who offend our China will be killed without mercy!"
"Long live the national army! Long live the Chinese nation! Those who offend our China will be killed without mercy!"
Qiao Anbang jumped out of the car amid the cheers of everyone and ordered Wang Gensheng: "Gensheng, you should inform Company Commander Liu immediately and let her immediately restore Suzhou, capture and kill the Japanese commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, Prince Hirohiko Asahiko, and use a clear message to report the victory to the whole of China and the whole world!"
"Also, I have to tell the Japanese clearly in the telegram, just say that my Hu Ben Group is waiting for them to come and die at any time in Suzhou!"
"Yes!" Wang Gensheng responded with a loud promise and immediately took the order and left.
