The next day,

Xuzhou City, where foreign journalists live.

On the outdoor seats of a small restaurant run by foreigners,

"Have you heard that the Japanese army has already reached Teng County? I wonder what the fighting situation is like there? Do you want to go over there and take a look today? Gerald!"

American reporter David Denman smiled and suggested to American reporter Gerald.

"Hahaha! What's so good to see! The Japanese army must have won the final victory. Didn't you see that they were able to lose even the capital for almost half a year, and there was no way to counterattack the Japanese army!"

"And according to the information I received from frontline war reporters, the Japanese army dispatched more than 40,000 troops this time to attack a small Teng County, and the Chinese troops holding on there seemed to be miscellaneous Sichuan troops with inferior weapons and equipment.

Come on, you can imagine such a battle, there is no suspense at all, it is clear who the final winner is!"

Gerald waved his hand and responded with a nonchalant smile.

Then he happily took a sip of strong coffee as a reminder, and also ate some white bread for breakfast.

"What Gerald said is so right. With its backward weapons and equipment and war mentality, the Chinese army is no match for the Japanese army. Do you think the Chinese army is as powerful as the armies of our empires?"

?”

"So when I look at the battle in Teng County, the final winner, just like Gerald said, will definitely be the Japanese army!"

Before American reporter David Denman could reply, another foreign reporter next to them, Hope Davis, was also very unfavorable about the Sichuan troops holding on to Teng County, and also joined in the ridicule.

Follow the path.

"Ah! This... you are telling the truth!"

"I'm speechless! Then when we come to Xuzhou this time, we have to interview some exciting news, and we have to go back to our newspaper business! Otherwise, wouldn't our trip here be in vain?"

"In that case, I might as well stay in the Songhu Concession and enjoy life. It will be better!"

Listening to the dismissive smiles of his two losers, American reporter David Denman also smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and followed them to laugh at the Chinese troops.

road.

But at this moment,

"Big news! Unexpected news has appeared in Teng County!"

"Although the Japanese 10th Division and Segu Detachment captured Teng County as we expected last night, they were injured and severely injured by the Chinese defenders there!"

"The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered more than 5,000 casualties!"

"This is really big news! Why don't you guys go for an interview together soon?"

"I saw that many reporters who had received the news rushed to Teng County to conduct interviews. Even some Chinese reporters risked their lives to come to Teng County to conduct interviews!"

Andrew Batchelor, another friend of these foreign reporters, was in a panic, anxious, panting, and ran from outside the foreign restaurant to their seats, making an emotional report.

"What!"

Hearing this, all the foreign reporters stood up in surprise, and then said in unison.

"I didn't lie to you, go quickly!"

"Otherwise, the details of the headline news would have been reported by other colleagues first!"

Seeing the shocked expressions of his friends, Andrew Batchelor urged them.

In response, all of them looked at each other and left the Laughing Restaurant in droves, leaving only Andrew Batchelor who had to pay the bill to the restaurant owner.

"Oh my god! You bastards, why do you want me to pay the bill? I haven't eaten anything!"

In response to this, the confused Andrew Batchelor became furious and roared at the backs of his friends who had quickly fled the Laughing Restaurant.

...

...

The news that Teng County had been captured by the Japanese army, and that the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses and counterattack from the Teng County defenders, quickly spread throughout Xuzhou City.

Originally, many people here were worried about whether Xuzhou could hold on and not be occupied by the Japanese army.

But suddenly I heard such unexpected big news,

It suddenly aroused heated discussion among people in the whole city.

Including the future direction of the war in Xuzhou City, the topic of how Teng County fell, and speculation about how the defenders holding Teng County with inferior weapons and equipment managed to achieve such an amazing record of severely damaging the Japanese army.

Of course, the sad news that Teng County was still lost even though the Japanese troops who attacked Teng County were severely damaged still affected the hearts of many people and could not calm down at all.

Because with the fall of Teng County, it was expected that the Japanese army would continue to kill their Xuzhou City, and their troops would soon reach the city.

Therefore, the citizens who were afraid that the Japanese army was approaching the city began to be frightened and worried.

"Do you think Xuzhou City can be held on this time? Teng County has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. I'm afraid!"

"It's hard to say. If you are afraid, you can leave Xuzhou. If you don't know about the atrocities committed by the Japanese in the capital, they have all been reported on the major news!"

"Yes! I want to leave Xuzhou. It feels very dangerous here! I am also worried that it will become the next capital city that will fall to the Japanese army. I don't have much confidence in the national army!"

"But I heard that there are now more than a million troops gathered here in Xuzhou! It shouldn't be so easy to fall into the hands of the Japanese troops!" "God knows! Didn't our national army also use it in the Songhu Battle?

700,000 elite troops to fight

Those Japanese troops? But what happened in the end? Didn’t Songhu fall? Even the capital fell! Moreover, the over one million troops now are not as elite as the troops at the Battle of Songhu! So I think it’s better to escape.

It will be safer here!”

"Yes! I'm planning to leave here too. I don't want to die or become a traitor and surrender to those Japanese!"

"I am different from you. I was born and raised here. Even if I die, I will die here. The city is still there and the people are there, but the city is broken and people die. It is not expensive. Before I die, I will also find a Japanese to bury me with me!"

"

...

...

So many citizens of Xuzhou City also gathered together and talked about it.

Of course, there are also many anti-Japanese marching teams who are constantly donating money and materials to the national army on the front line to fight against Japan.

In this regard, various forms of sentient beings are constantly being staged here in Xuzhou City.

The scenes are touching, lamentable, passionate, and scolding...

However, as soon as the battle report after Tencent's complete fall reached Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone in Xuzhou City, he quickly held an emergency combat meeting.

So soon, all the senior staff officers and officers of the fifth theater also came to participate.
