Chapter 72: A Victorious Public Opinion War
After reading it, the editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily praised him. He not only praised the brilliant victory achieved by the Taohua Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, but also praised the professional journalism of this guerrilla team. He said: "I really didn't expect that Gao Jiu was actually a good journalist's material. If you have the opportunity, you must issue him a reporter certificate."
The editorial department washed out the film and immediately edited and organized it. It soon published an article titled "Iron Proof" in Xinhua Daily.
This article describes the entire battle process of Taohua Mountain in detail, publishes photos of the dead bodies of every annihilated Japanese officer and soldier, photos of their ID cards, photos of eleven burned cars, and photos of those captured Japanese weapons. These materials are enough to prove that the Japanese strengthening squadron that invaded Taohua Mountain was wiped out.
The editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily also wrote a special article that ridiculed the Japanese and puppets. The article revealed the lies of the Japanese and puppets' victory in the Taohua Mountain battle published in Japanese and puppet newspapers.
The article reads: "The Japanese Army, which claims to be invincible, has a total of more than 200 reinforcement squadrons, but it cannot defeat a anti-Japanese guerrilla team with less than 100 people. It is simply a shame to the Japanese Army.
This is not the most embarrassing thing. What is even more embarrassing is that the Japanese army dare not face failure. They actually fabricated the number of anti-Japanese guerrillas with as many as 1,500 people, and shamelessly lied that they had wiped out thousands of guerrillas, but they could not provide any evidence.
Now the iron facts are in front of you. Except for the commanders Akira Hamasaki and Shimada, the other Japanese troops who encircled and suppressed the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, shamelessly chose to escape, the rest of the Japanese troops were all annihilated in the Taohua Mountain area.
The above facts are enough to prove that the Japanese army is not only vulnerable, but also despicable and shameless. It is an army with no sense of honor and the lowest quality in the world.
It is a mere island country that relies on such an incompetent, despicable and shameless Japanese army to defeat our great country and a country of etiquette.
The article published in the "xiiihua Daily" immediately caused another sensation, and the morale of the anti-Japanese military and civilians in the rear was greatly boosted.
The Japanese and puppets really didn't expect that a small Taohuashan guerrilla team not only had super combat power, but had such political wisdom, but was even proficient in the relevant means of news propaganda. In the face of irrefutable facts, the Japanese and puppet newspapers were silent for a while.
Many foreign media no longer believe in the propaganda of the Japanese and puppets in the face of the iron evidence provided in the articles of Xinhua Daily, and have reprinted the relevant content published in Xinhua Daily.
Martin Luther, a reporter from Meiguo, wrote: "I have always believed in the integrity of the Japanese. Now it seems that not only the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is questionable, but also the credit of Japan is unbelievable.
It is necessary for me to remind the people of the free world to be vigilant when dealing with the Japanese.”
In this confrontation between the media, China won a great victory, while Japan was slapped in the face.
This is a great victory. Its significance is that it reduces the prestige of the Japanese army and even the Japanese side, and greatly improves the confidence of the anti-Japanese military and civilians to defeat the Japanese invaders. The significance of this victory is far greater than the military victory brought by annihilation of 200 Japanese troops."
From then on, the name of Taohua Mountain guerrillas, especially Gao Jiu, was deeply engraved in the minds of the anti-Japanese military and civilians.
In the teahouse last time, the owner of the teahouse was enthusiastically talking to a group of old teahouses about the contents in the newspaper. For a few days, everyone was very depressed. The contents published in the Japanese and puppet newspapers spread rumors and slandering the Taohuashan guerrillas. For a while, it was difficult for everyone to tell the authenticity. Many people even doubted the contents published in the Japanese and puppet newspapers. Therefore, the people's enthusiasm for talking in the teahouse has weakened a lot and the business has become very deserted.
As soon as the newspaper content was published today, the atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly became active. The old man who read the newspaper last time read the contents, spread the newspaper on the table, pointed to the photos on the newspaper and said happily: "I have said a long time ago that what the Taohuashan guerrillas said are true, and the Japanese are spreading rumors. Looking at these evidences, each Japanese corpse is in the right number with his ID card, and there are only 204 Japanese corpses. There are 202 Japanese photos on it, and there are 11 Japanese drivers, totaling 213, which is exactly the same as what the newspaper said last time, without any exaggeration."
A young tea chef said, "Look at the weapons in the photos, eight crooked machine guns, six mortars, the big 38-piece covers, and so many Japanese military uniforms. These equipment happens to be from a Japanese reinforcement squadron. Be good, these guerrillas in Taohua Mountain are really amazing!"
A middle-aged man said: "The newspaper did not say it last time, but mentioned the Taohuashan guerrillas and the GCD guerrillas. I don't know how many people there were. As a result, the Japanese newspaper said that there were 1,500 guerrillas. I thought at that time that there were so many people fighting 200 gubernators, and it was definitely true to kill them. Although I felt relieved, but so many people fighting so few gubernators, the record was just average.
Who would have thought that these two guerrillas combined were less than 100 people. They actually wiped out so many fools. It was amazing."
The young man immediately said, "Of course it's amazing. The Japanese have strong combat power. Even if 200 Japanese fight with 1,500 people, it would be great to be able to kill them. If the newspaper said last time that there were less than 100 people and that so many Japanese were killed, I really couldn't believe it.
But the guerrilla tactics they adopted this time were so wonderful. I closed my eyes and thought that those guerrillas were fighting the Japanese on the mountain, but the Japanese couldn't beat them. It would be satisfying to think about it. If it weren't for being too far from Taohua Mountain, I would also want to join that guerrilla team. It would be really exciting to fight the Japanese like this."
...
The Taohua Mountain guerrillas led by Gao Jiu have achieved excellent results in a series of battles against Japan, especially the superb tactical level and certain political wisdom shown in the battle against Japan this time, which attracted the attention of all forces.
