"If you have anything to say, just say it here! My friend Ross is also on the airship today." Delise was in a bad mood and was very direct.

"I want to go to Baoshan for an interview! I invite Miss Delise to go with me."

"Those barbaric national troops, they killed my friends, I don't want to see them."

"Don't you want to go to the field and see who killed your friend?"

Although Delise is angry, she is a reporter after all, and of course she knows the benefits to herself of exposing the entire incident.

After thinking for a while, he said: "My friend Colonel Stilwell is going too."

Stilwell! Reporters like Xiao Lei certainly know who he is:

The colonel and military attaché of the United States stationed in China, with him accompanying us, made this journey both quick and safe.

Stilwell, who received Delise's invitation, did not refuse, he also wanted to go and have a look.

Xiao Lei watched as an American jeep with diplomatic license plates and three U.S. Marines with loaded guns passed by.

I felt a little uneasy. If it was really the 583rd Regiment that had done this, it might have been self-defeating this time.

It's fifty miles from Shanghai to Baoshan County. With a car, you can get there in an hour.

…

The news that the Second Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the National Army blew up the multinational military observation group immediately spread on radio waves around the world.

German Ambassador Taudmann immediately submitted a letter of protest to the National Government.

U.S. Ambassador Johnson did not lag behind and quickly submitted a letter of protest to the National Government, demanding that the Chinese government hand over the murderer.

Last time they attacked the Japanese who bombed the warships, but they did not offer to hand over the murderers.

British Ambassador Johnson struggled to write a fierce protest in his hospital bed, and asked British military attache Fraser to deliver it to the National Government in person.

Although he was seriously injured by a Japanese fighter machine gun and almost died, he was afraid of the strength of the Japanese and only dared to verbally condemn him.

I hope the Japanese can cooperate and apologize, and this matter will be over.

But the Japanese didn't even want to apologize, and the diplomats from both sides were still arguing with each other.

However, several countries put pressure on the National Government at the same time, making it clear that if the murderer was not handed over to them, they would send their armed forces to Baoshan County to capture the murderer themselves.

When Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing heard that the 583rd Infantry Battalion had blown up the airship of the multinational military observation group, his face turned pale and his body shook.

Unable to stand still anymore, I suddenly fell down on the chair and gasped for air.

After a while, he regained his breath and said to Dai Li beside him: "Yunong! Send someone to Baoshan County immediately to investigate the 2nd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment.

If this matter is true, immediately send the commander of the 583rd Regiment, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment, and everyone below to the concession."

"Yes! President!" Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's pale face, Dai Li also knew that the international impact of this matter was too great.

If it is not done well, it will trigger another incident of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces attacking Nanjing.

After giving orders to Dai Li first, Chiang Kai-shek persisted and walked to the headquarters of the Military Commission.

Said to Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng! What do you think of the news just returned from Shanghai?"

Bai Chongxi immediately said: "It's nonsense! If you want to accuse someone, why bother?

Mortars hit planes, mortars hit airships! The Japanese are making a false accusation. They must have mistakenly hit the airship of the multinational military observation group.

Only then did we put the blame on us. On the battlefield, the Japanese said that they had destroyed sixteen aircraft.

Okay, so where is the plane wreckage?

And they had so many planes on the battlefield. Could it be that they only captured the images of the aircraft exploding, but not the images of the airship being destroyed?

Even if you can't take the image of the airship when it was destroyed, you should still be able to take the image of the airship after it crashed!

There are none of these images, there are only images of mortar shells flying out just now, this is a frame-up."

After hearing his analysis, Chiang Kai-shek's face became a little better. He had lost his composure just now because he heard that the incident was too bad and the consequences were too serious.

Now that I think about it, there are indeed many loopholes!

"Evidence! We need evidence now!" Chiang Kai-shek had already begun to think about what was going on and took advantage of the anger of the Western powers to punish the Japanese.

It would be best for the League of Nations to directly send troops to intervene. In this case, the situation would be too favorable to itself.

Thinking of this, he said to Chen Cheng: "Cixiu! Send a telegram to Ciwei and ask him to find out the cause of the matter immediately and report the details immediately."

"yes!"

Chen Cheng is the commander-in-chief of the Left-wing Army in the Songhu battlefield. The 583rd Regiment causing trouble today is a subordinate of the 98th Division of the 16th Army, the 54th Army, under Commander Luo Zhuoying of the 15th Group Army of the Left-wing Army.

Ciwei is Luo Zhuoying's character.

Luo Zhuoying, commander of the Fifth Group Army who received the telegram, first called the headquarters of the 583rd Regiment and learned that the regiment commander Lu Jingrong personally led the Second Infantry Battalion to reinforce Baoshan County.

He felt relieved a little: Lu Jingrong is a stable person and would not do something like launching an attack on the airship of the multinational military observation group.

However, Luo Zhuoying did not believe that his subordinates had talents who could blow up Japanese planes with mortars.

Just based on the trajectory of the cannon and the flight speed of the shells, it is impossible to imagine how one can shoot down an airplane?

If you can use mortars to shoot down planes, it would be more legendary to use grenades to blow up planes and bamboo poles to poke planes.

Luo Zhuoying continued to search for the 2nd Infantry Battalion and called the headquarters of the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment in Baoshan County.

When Yao Ziqing received the call, he was somewhat clear about the matter: the civil servants of the Second Battalion who were sent back first from the battlefield and the soldiers of the Ninth Company who helped them back were all rumored to be crazy.

It is said that there is a magic man in the team today. He can hit your left nostril with hundred hits within a thousand meters. He will definitely not hurt your right nostril.

From a distance of 600 meters, two Japanese mortar shells hit the Japanese artillery position.

The same is true for artillery fire. The machine gunner who blows up the Japs will not injure the machine gun at all.

He stole the mortars from the Japanese infantry brigade and used these mortars to blow up the Japanese infantry until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

They also used mortars to blow up seven Japanese bombers and nine fighter jets. Battalion Commander Yao did not believe what the soldiers said.

I learned that the Second Battalion was ambushed by the Japs when they came all the way, and they struggled to break through. Now the whole battalion had only less than 200 casualties left.

Seeing that there was no look of discouragement or fear on their faces, both the wounded and the soldiers were full of joy, and they did not try to reveal the truth about this completely impossible thing.

Now I heard the commander asking if the Second Battalion shot down the airship of the multinational military observation group.
Chapter completed!
