Zhang Xueming's message caused a nationwide shock.
Among them, the one with the most intense reaction was Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhang Xueming's older brother.
Zhang Xiaoliu was leisurely listening to the opera in the theater, as if the loss of the northeast had no effect on him at all.
At this moment, an officer came to his side and handed him a telegram.
Zhang Xiaoliu opened his eyes and read the telegram.
However, when he saw the contents of the telegram, his face was full of shock and disbelief.
"Zhang Xueming wiped out the Japanese 38th Brigade? What kind of joke was this? Has this matter been confirmed?"
The officer shook his head and said in a low voice,""Not yet. We also received this call suddenly.”
Zhang Xiaoliu sneered.
"In just two days, my brother relied on a few hundred people to get rid of a full division of the Japanese army. I'm afraid that all of them are immortals.
Ask Wang Yizhe to go to Shanhaiguan and kidnap this bastard. Otherwise, the Zhang family will lose all face because of him.”
It was obvious that Zhang Xiaoliu did not believe this telegram at all.
He knew Zhang Xueming's strength the best.
If he wanted to annihilate an exploration team of 5000 people in just two days, he would have to send out the main force of the Northeast Army.
When our Chairman Chang received this message, his face was filled with astonishment.
"Is the name on this telegram wrong? Why did he write 'good' as 'inscription'? He did not expect Zhang Xiaoliu to be secretly involved.
On the surface, they refused to carry out my order to defend Shanhai Pass and withdrew their main forces back into the pass.
In fact, he was deceiving the Japanese invaders to lure them in. Not bad, not bad.”
Boss Dai blinked and said,""Chairman, the name is correct. I've already verified that the one who stayed at Shanhaiguan is indeed General Zhang's younger brother, Zhang Xueming.
As for this report about the annihilation of the 38th mixed regiment, he didn't know if it was true or not.”
The chairman found it hard to believe.
Zhang Xueming? He still had some images in his mind.
Zhang Xiaoliu's idiot younger brother had no ability and was fighting for power everywhere.
He was the only one who could annihilate a Japanese exploration team. What kind of joke was this?
"A tiger father and dog son. Even if you want to brag, why don't you brag a little more?”
Only the Kwantung Army knew what the 38th Mixed Brigade was like.
When he received the distress message from the 38th mixed brigade, Lieutenant General Honjo Shigeru, the commander of the Kwantung Army, felt that something was wrong.
Soon, the urgent telegrams from the 38th mixed brigade made him realize the seriousness of the matter.
More than an hour later, they lost contact with the 38th Brigade.
He did not even have the time to send reinforcements.
He knew very well what losing contact meant.
This also made it difficult for him to accept this fact.
"Baka, that damned Zhang Xiaoliu. It's fake that he retreated from Shanhaiguan. The real reason is that he tricked the 38th Brigade.
I want him to feel the wrath of the empire.”
Then, he looked at the map on the wall.
After a long while, he said angrily,"Immediately order the 20th Regiment, the 39th Brigade, the 17th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the 3rd Longsong Cannon to head south.
I want Shanhaiguan razed to the ground, and at the same time, attack Pingjin. Let Zhang Xiaoliu accept our judgment.”
Almost everyone was skeptical about the credibility of this report, including the people.
In this era, it was common to exaggerate the results of battle.
However, no one dared to exaggerate like Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueming naturally knew about this.
Not only would this electricity not bring him fame, but it would also make him a joke.
Therefore, he sent some photos of the battlefield to the Ta Kung Pao headquarters in Tianjin.
After receiving these photos, the entire Ta Kung Pao headquarters fell into a state of shock.
Most of these photos were taken by aerial photography.
For example, the Japanese soldiers who were being bombarded, the retreating Japanese soldiers, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers everywhere, and the corpse of the brigade commander, Kimura Buntaro.
One of the photos shocked him the most.
There were more than ten Type 19 samurai swords neatly arranged on the ground.
One of them was an exceptionally exquisite general's saber, which was placed in the C position. There was even a close-up photo.
This proved the authenticity of the annihilation of the 38th mixed regiment.
How could they not be shocked?
So the next day, Ta Kung Pao published some of the photos on the front page, and at the same time, the main editor personally wrote an article.
The news published in the Ta Kung Pao immediately caused a huge stir in the Pingjin area, and then quickly spread to the entire country.
Everyone who saw the newspaper was shocked.
Zhang Xiaoliu was even more dumbfounded. His face was filled with disbelief.
"How did he do it?"
He suddenly felt that this brother of his was extremely unfamiliar.
At the same time, he recalled the words he had said in anger at Shanhaiguan Pass, which had caused him to feel uneasy.
Naturally, Chairman Chang was also dumbfounded.
"This is actually true? Are the East Asians so unforgiving?"
The public's reaction to this matter was much more intense.
Zhang Xiaoliu giving up on resisting had infuriated the entire country. Many people even called him a traitor.
And now, Zhang Xueming had stood up and annihilated a Japanese exploration team.
Everyone cheered for him.
"General Zhang Xueming invited us to fight against the Japanese. How can we not obey? Those who want to go to Shanhaiguan can come to me to sign up.
Let's go to Shanhaiguan to join the army and drive the Japanese out of our land.”
