Chapter 205: Exposing the Crime
Inside the Japanese pirates' headquarters, Hasegawa's face turned pale and he chopped the table fiercely with the saber in his hand.
"Baga! These Chinese are so cunning!"
"Report to the division commander, several of our granaries have been bombed again!" A Japanese officer ran in hurriedly to report.
"What?!" Hasegawa stood up suddenly and shouted, "How could this happen? How long can our food last?"
"Reporting to the division commander, at most... we can hold out for three days..."
Three days?! Hasegawa felt his eyes go dark.
Three days later, are the more than 40,000 soldiers stationed in Nanjing City going to have to chew on tree bark and eat mud like those fleeing Chinese?
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do now?"
How to do?
Hasegawa's brain was working rapidly. Now Jinling City had been thrown into chaos by them, and the supplies in the city had been almost completely looted.
External support cannot be delivered in a short time. Are they really expected to just sit there and wait for death?
No, he will never allow it!
Hasegawa's eyes rolled around, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mustache-covered mouth.
"Hey, Jinling Safety Zone..."
"Mr. Commander, what you mean is..."
"Yoshi! There are 250,000 mouths there!"
"The amount of food consumed every day is countless, and they are all defenseless old, weak, women and children. It's easy to steal their food!"
Hasegawa's eyes flashed with greed. "Pass the order down. Tomorrow morning, we will go to 'visit' Chairman Rabe of the Jinling Safety Zone!"
"Hai!"
In the Jinling Security Zone, things seem calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents.
"Little Shennong, do you think the Japanese pirates will be cornered by us and attack the Jinling safe zone?"
Shen Yifeng frowned and asked worriedly.
"Hmph, based on their nature, they will definitely do that!" Jiang Shiyuan's tone was extremely firm, as if he had already foreseen the future.
"There are 250,000 unarmed civilians in the safe zone. We must take precautions in advance!"
Jiang Shiyuan raised a confident smile on his dusty face, "Don't worry, instructor, I have a plan!"
At night, outside the Jinling Safe Zone, Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng were busy with a group of people in the dark.
"Little Shennong, what is this? Why does it have a pungent smell?" Shen Yifeng asked in a low voice, covering his nose.
"This is a homemade explosive I made using ingredients I found in an abandoned chemical plant."
While Jiang Shiyuan was busy, he explained: "Although the power is not as strong as the military ones, it is enough to teach the Japanese pirates a lesson."
Shen Yifeng gave Jiang Shiyuan a thumbs up, "As expected of a doctor of chemical pharmaceuticals, you can actually come up with this idea!"
"Hahaha, instructor, stop praising me, let's get back to work!"
The next morning, outside the Jinling Safety Zone, a group of fully armed Japanese pirates came in aggressively.
It was a dark mass, a full army of a thousand men.
The leader was Hasegawa, who was riding on a tall horse with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Oh, this much food is enough for my soldiers to eat for a long time!"
He seemed to have seen the mountains of food in the safe zone, waving at him enthusiastically.
"go ahead!"
Following Hasegawa's order, the Japanese pirates marched in neat steps towards the gate of the safe zone.
"Stop! This is an international safe zone protected by consulates of various countries. No armed personnel are allowed to enter!" The Eagle Country guards outside the safe zone shouted loudly.
"Baga! Get out of here, you bastard! This place is now under the control of our Imperial Japanese Army!" a Japanese officer shouted arrogantly.
"Humph, have you, Japan, become so arrogant that you don't even care about international public opinion and want to openly break off relations with other countries?"
The Eagle Country guards followed the instructions that Jiang Shiyuan had informed him of in advance, and every word they said put the Japanese pirates in an unfavorable position.
Hasegawa's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Baga, don't talk nonsense!"
"We don't mean that. We just want to visit Chairman Rabe and borrow some food supplies from you."
The Eagle Country guard ignored him and insisted: "Armed personnel and soldiers are not allowed to enter!"
"Everyone must disarm, and only after obtaining Chairman Rabe's consent can you enter!"
Hasegawa lost his patience in an instant, raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky to intimidate others.
The sudden sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of the early morning.
At this time, someone shouted: "The Japanese pirates disregarded international law and public opinion and openly fired in the International Safety Zone!"
Just as the Japanese pirates were about to rush into the safe zone, a series of deafening explosions sounded.
Outside the safe zone, the pre-buried explosives were detonated, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the screams of the Japanese pirate soldiers were endless.
"Baga! What happened? Where did the explosion come from?"
Hasegawa was startled by this sudden change, and the aftermath of the explosion caused him to roll off his horse.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, we have fallen into a trap! The Chinese are well prepared!"
"Baga! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Hasegawa got up from the ground in a panic and shouted at the top of his lungs.
He never dreamed that these Chinese were so cunning and had buried explosives outside the safety zone.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, we have suffered heavy casualties!" a Japanese officer reported with a sad face.
"Baka! What are you still standing there for? Retreat now!" Hasegawa yelled in frustration.
In the safe zone, Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng stood side by side on a high ground, watching everything coldly.
"Little Shennong, well done!" Shen Yifeng couldn't help but admire.
"No big deal, I learned it from my instructor!" Jiang Shiyuan smiled modestly.
"Next, it's time to let the whole world see the true face of these beasts!"
Jiang Shiyuan said this, shaking the camera hanging on his chest.
Jiang Shiyuan bought this camera at a high price from a foreign journalist when he was in Shanghai.
On her way from Shanghai to Nanjing, she had been using this camera to record the scenes of the Japanese pirates burning, killing and looting in the villages and towns along the way and in Nanjing City.
She recorded everything, including the scene where Hasegawa tried to break through the safe zone by force, and the scene where the Jinling defenders and the people of Jinling bravely resisted.
That night, a secret team composed of underground party comrades, carrying the films shot by Jiang Shiyuan, quietly left Jinling City through the secret passage in Purple Mountain that was used to escort the Jinling defenders to evacuate.
A few days later, all major Chinese and foreign newspapers in Shanghai published the photos taken by Jiang Shiyuan.
In the photos, the Japanese pirates committed all kinds of atrocities wherever they went, burning, killing, looting, and leaving corpses everywhere, making it like hell on earth.
They even wanted to break into the Jinling Security Zone, which is protected by embassies of various countries, with armed forces, which is a blatant challenge to the dignity of countries around the world.
Once these photos were published, they immediately caused an uproar around the world.
People from all over the world were shocked by the atrocities committed by the Japanese pirates. They condemned their acts of aggression and demanded that they immediately stop the aggression and withdraw from China.
Under pressure from both home and abroad, governments of Western countries also protested to the Japanese government, demanding that the Japanese government severely punish the murderer and give an explanation to the Chinese people.
However, the Japanese government flatly denied the incident, claiming that the photos were fake and were lies deliberately made up by the Chinese to discredit Japan.
Faced with the Japanese government's sophistry, the Chinese people did not give up.
They continued to collect evidence of the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese pirates on this land of China, and continued to expose the true face of the Japanese pirates to the world.
The photos taken by Jiang Shiyuan, as well as those taken by more and more war correspondents, have become strong evidence of the massacres committed by the Japanese pirates in China, and have also become an important spiritual pillar for the Chinese people to resist the Japanese pirates and save the nation!
