"Where is Mayor Yu? Let him come out quickly! We have a request to tell him." Zhao Jun and others took the lead in the parade.

Lin Rui led Lin Feng and squeezed to the forefront, not far from Shangguan Nianci and others, and stopped.

Instead of shouting slogans, he used his keen judgment and observation skills to start quietly observing the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people.

Not long after, Yu Hongjun walked out of the city government building accompanied by the protection of his secretary and two guards.

As soon as he saw Yu Hongjun coming out, someone in the parade immediately shouted: "Mayor Yu Hongjun is out, everyone should move forward quickly."

Some people encouraged the parade crowds, including students, workers, etc., rushed forward.

Seeing this, Wang Huming was startled and hurriedly directed his military police to block the parade. In addition to maintaining order, his duties were also responsible for protecting the safety of Yu Hongjun and others.

Of course, I dare not let the parade with mixed ingredients approach Yu Hongjun.

Yu Hongjun arrived at a place about twenty meters away from the parade and stopped. Wang Huming walked up to him and said respectfully: "Mayor Yu, for your safety, you can't move forward any further."

Yu Hongjun nodded slightly, then looked ahead, looked around the crowded parade crowd, raised his voice and said loudly: "Students, don't be excited! If you have any requests, please tell me, I will do my best to solve the problem for you."

Zhao Jun was the first to speak at the top of his voice: "Mayor Yu, we have received the news that the Japanese brazenly launched an attack on our Lugou Bridge garrison in Peking last night and have begun to invade our North China land. Is this true?"

Yu Hongjun was not easy to lie when facing everyone, so he nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is true."

"So mayor Yu, the enemy has officially invaded, why has our government not declared war on Japan?" Zhao Jun asked aggressively.

"The government has its own considerations." Yu Hongjun said with some confidence.

"What are your own considerations? I think you are too cowardly. The Japanese have occupied our four northeastern provinces and are now invading North China. Why is the National Government not daring to resist Japan?

Why not fulfill the statement of the Double Twelve Incident? Conducting the War of Resistance? You must give an explanation today!" A more enthusiastic male student asked loudly with some emotion out of control.

His words aroused a large number of students around him indignation and excited the crowd.

From September 18th to the present, it is very dissatisfaction that the National Government has adopted a passive appeasement policy towards Japan.

Especially these patriotic students with radical ideas have long complained.

The outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident this time was like a match, completely igniting the anger that had been suppressed in the hearts of millions of patriotic young students.

So the thousands of students present protested in unison, denying the National Government's cowardice against Japan, and did not dare to fight against the war.

However, Lin Rui understood that these students were a little unfairly accusing Mr. Jiang and his National Government this time.

Although it was forced after the Double Twelve Incident, Chairman Chiang did adjust his strategic policy and gradually changed from suppressing the Communist Party to preparing for the anti-Japanese war.

Especially now, the Nanjing National Government should have already begun preparing for the Battle of Shanghai.

It won't take long before Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi would lead a group of Central Army's ace German divisions to secretly enter Shanghai, and launch an active attack on the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai on August 13, thus opening the prelude to the Battle of Shanghai.

Seeing that the students and the parade crowd suddenly became excited, and worried that the situation would be out of control, Yu Hongjun had to ask the secretary to find a loudspeaker, holding the loudspeaker loudly and comforting the crowd, "Please rest assured everyone, please be calm and listen to me."

After Yu Hongjun's continuous shouting, the students gradually stopped shouting and wanted to hear what Yu Hongjun said.

Seeing that the students were quiet, Yu Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief and continued with the speaker: "Students, Yu knows that everyone is passionate young people who care about the country and good students with progress in their thoughts.

However, please believe that the government really has its own considerations and plans. Please do not cause trouble for the government at this time, go back and study hard, leave a useful body, and serve the country well in the future!"

Shangguan Nianci asked: "Mayor Yu, you are also an alumnus of our St. John. You should understand that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. I dare to ask Mr., if the country is not a country, there is no end to the end of the nest, how should we continue to study?

Now the Japanese invade North China, destroy our country, and destroy our race is obvious. Things have reached this point, why is the government not resisting Japan?"

"Yes, why don't you resist Japan?"

"Chairman Jiang will fight a civil war! Why not fight against Japan?"

Some students immediately responded with shouts and became more and more excited as they spoke. Some students pushed and clashed with the military police who blocked them in front of them.

Seeing that the situation was in danger of being out of control, Yu Hongjun immediately took the loudspeaker and continued to calm down loudly, but no one responded to him this time.

Students and workers, citizens shouted slogans and waved banners and slogans, constantly approaching the city government building.

Wang Huming commanded the military police and tried his best to stop, push, and insult inevitably happened.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and a gendarmerie policeman who was maintaining order was shot in the forehead and fell straight down.

When the military police saw their companions fall down, they were stunned and immediately furious. Without waiting for Wang Huming to give orders, they raised their guns and shot at the parade crowd in front of the police.

Bang bang bang! At one moment, at least a dozen innocent students were shot and fell down.

The place where the shooting was fired was dozens of meters away from Lin Ruizu, and there was a sea of ​​people in between.

After the gunfire, all the crowds of parades became in chaos. Some escaped and some wanted to come forward to denounce the military police. The whole situation fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Wang Huming, the captain of the military police, immediately blocked Yu Hongjun and said to him: "Mayor Yu, this place is too dangerous. You can withdraw it first and I will deal with it."

Yu Hongjun said: "No matter what, don't hurt these students and citizens, and let your people stop shooting immediately! Go!"

Wang Huming looked at the fire-firing subordinates with a heavy face, and nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Ergou, escort the mayor back, and everyone else will come with me."

"Yes!" Several gendarmes escorted Yu Hongjun and his secretary with guns and withdrew the city government building.

Wang Huming led his men to the place where the shooting was fired, shouted at more than a dozen military policemen who fired, "Stop shooting!"

Then he kicked a squad leader to the ground: "Damn him, who asked you to shoot? They are our compatriots, not Japanese devils!"

The military police squad leader who was kicked aside said with some grievance and resentment: "Captain, they fired the first shot. We shot one of our brothers to death."

Wang Huming glanced at his dead subordinate, and his eyes were furious, and turned to the bloody and chaotic crowd of students. He angrily pulled out the Mauser pistol on his waist, pointed it into the air and fired several shots, and then shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to move around, squat down on the spot!"

The gendarmes present followed suit and raised their guns to shoot into the sky. In an instant, the gunshots echoed throughout the sky.

These patriotic students had never seen such a scene. They were all frightened for a moment and squatted down one after another.
