Chapter 170 The boil caused by newspapers

Also the next day.

Northern Review.

morning.

"What kind of newspaper is this?"

"This newspaper is really nice."

People in the streets and alleys cast curious glances at the Xinhua Newspaper posted on the wall.

They all stopped to watch.

The printing machine provided by the system is very advanced and has reached the level of later generations in the 1990s. It actually has the function of color printing, but it is limited by the lack of color ink, so it can only print in black and white.

But even if it is still printed in black and white.

The printed newspapers are still very beautiful and gorgeous, and the quality of the pictures is comparable to photos.

All newspapers ahead of their time.

Beauty is justice!

Exquisite things always attract people's attention.

In the morning, almost everyone passing by would stop and take a closer look at these newspapers.

Even though most people are illiterate.

"What's written on it?"

Someone asked curiously.

During the Anti-Japanese War, more than 95% of the people in the country could not read a single Chinese character. Even in Beiping, the thousand-year-old capital, the situation was not much better.

"It's a newspaper from the Eighth Route Army!"

"Call Xinhua News Agency."

"Whether the Eighth Route Army wants to kill that little Japanese general, or does it want to kill him in front of the Japanese, and inform the Japanese in advance."

People are illiterate, but everyone can understand the photos.

Pictures speak more deeply than words.

Moreover, this is Beiping after all, so there are always literate people.

The Eighth Route Army and the Japs?

Everyone stared at the newspapers on the wall with their eyes wide open, and they were filled with doubts.

The war has been going on for three years. Although the Eighth Route Army has won battles such as Pingxingguan, it has even won many battles recently, pushing the Japanese to the ground and rubbing them.

However, due to the speed of news transmission in this era, as well as the Japanese blockade and intentional or unintentional restrictions on preserved fruit, few ordinary people in Beiping knew the deeds of the Eighth Route Army.

"It is said to be an armed force behind enemy lines."

"Always fighting the devils."

Someone took the opportunity to spread the word.

"so smart?"

The common people didn't believe it.

The Japs have strong soldiers and horses, and there are so many aircraft, artillery and tanks. Commander Song's 29th Army was defeated by the Japs. Can this Eighth Route Army be more powerful than the 29th Army?

"The newspaper said that the Eighth Route Army annihilated two Japanese infantry regiments in succession and captured three regiment flags."

The person who knew the word continued:

"This time the newspaper informed the Japanese in advance that they would kill the Chief of Staff of the North China Front before late August so that the Japanese could be prepared."

"So crazy?"

The common people were stunned.

Want to kill the Japanese general.

He dared to inform the little devil in advance.

Enough to be arrogant.

Are you capable?

Or is it just lip service?

"It is said that if it is successful, it will be reported in the newspaper."

As soon as the words fell, a group of Japs ran over, and everyone immediately dispersed. The Japs immediately tore up the newspaper, and the topic did not continue.

···

"That's money for the next day."

in the afternoon.

Tian Liuer met the distinguished guest again.

As soon as they met, before he spoke, the other party gave him a stack of new newspapers and a large stack of silver dollars.

"This is··"

With a glance, Tian Liu'er weighed it and found that the silver dollars on the table were 20% more than what he had given yesterday.

His heart suddenly tightened.

Why are you suddenly given more money?

Is this deal overdue?

He is still waiting for the money to enjoy it.

"You did a great job yesterday."

The visitor smiled and said:

"The location of the newspaper is very good. It is a place where people gather, and a lot of people see it. I am very satisfied. This is a bonus."

"bonus!"

A strange feeling emerged in Tian Liuer's heart.

A feeling he had never felt before.

It seems like, is it worth it?

Then Tian Liuer gathered the silver coins on the table directly into his arms without any politeness.

"Understood!"

Tian Liuer understood what this person meant.

As long as he works hard and sticks the newspaper in a conspicuous place so that more people can see it, he can get more oceans. Lots and lots of oceans.

After the visitor left, Tian Liuer put away the newspaper, hid Da Yang, and said to himself:

"This is a director, so I really pay you!"

"No wonder the little devil is so embarrassed."

Although Tian Liuer is only the lowest-level traitor, he has also developed the ability to observe words and emotions.

From the content of the Xinhua Newspaper and the recent reactions of the Japanese, he had a vague feeling that the Japanese had suffered heavy losses in the Eighth Route Army base area as recorded in the newspaper.

I'm afraid they are almost inseparable.

He also wondered why such a powerful locust army was defeated.

He worked desperately for the Locust Army, working in front of others, and how much money did he get every year?

Let’s look at the Eight Roads again.

It would be strange if the locust army did not suffer a loss.

"No, really..."

Thinking of this, Tian Liuer looked at the newspaper in his arms and squinted his eyes.

That Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, no, he would really be killed by Tubal Road, right?

No way?

The Japanese wouldn't act like that, would they?

However, if they are really killed, the Locust Army will lose all face!

···

at the same time.

"Ah··"

On the train from Beiping to Yangquan, Miyano Michichi looked at the Xinhua Newspaper in his hand, sneered, and then threw the newspaper aside with an expressionless face:

"bluff."

He scoffed.

"General."

"According to the intelligence of the First Army."

"Recently, the Eighth Route Army launched a coordinated assassination campaign against the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Army. Eight Chiefs of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff have been killed, including the commander of the 29th Brigade, Major General Kotani Matsubarada. (I was confused by what I wrote earlier. This indeed dead)"

"We still need to increase our vigilance."

A guard on the side reminded.

"It doesn't matter."

"Unless Tubalu can lurk people around me, this trip will be safe."

Miyano Michichi is still confident.

Not worried about his life at all.

Although there was only one level difference between the Chief of Staff of the First Army and him, the security strength of both sides was completely different.

He has a special security force. Although it is not at the level of a commander having a special train, there will also be a special security carriage.

The Eighth Route Army has indeed grown in strength recently.

But it is absolutely impossible to threaten his life.

"Hi."

The guard couldn't continue to persuade him, so he could only nod in agreement.

···

"Where will they start?"

Also at the same time.

Taiyuan.

Yamamoto Kazuki, who was in charge of Miyano Michichi's security force under the orders of Yoshio Shinozuka, had a solemn expression.

Since the Eighth Route Army dared to publicly declare war on the Locust Army in newspapers and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to post it all over the country, it must be very confident that it can accomplish this.

just,

Yamamoto has no information in hand;

He could only strengthen his defenses one by one.

With Yangquan as the center, patrols on the railway lines were strengthened and the garrison troops in surrounding counties were ordered to be on the highest alert.

···

The third day.

Northern Review.

early morning.

"Hey, this is posted again."

The common people saw the familiar newspaper on the wall again.

And today it is posted higher, the position is better, and you can see it more clearly.

People who missed it yesterday stopped to watch, and those who had seen it were still watching it seriously and lively.

"Let's talk..."

"This Miyano Michichi, couldn't he really be killed by the Eighth Route Army?"

"It is said that this Miyano Michichi is a general."

For two days in a row, newspapers were posted on the streets, and an idea suddenly emerged in people's minds.

Does this Eighth Route Army seem to be serious?

"We'll know in a few days."

People began to look forward to it.

"It would be great if I could really kill him."

Many people murmured silently.

After the Japanese came, not only did prices skyrocket, but they also issued currency indiscriminately. Life became increasingly difficult, causing outrage and resentment. However, under the pressure of force, the common people did not even dare to express dissatisfaction, let alone resistance.

The Japanese are really good at killing people in the street.

"idiot."

"rip off."

"Tear them all off."

Seeing the Japanese coming, everyone immediately dispersed.

But looking at the Japs tearing newspapers apart, people seemed to be in a much better mood.
