Chapter 28: The Parade of Thousands of People

At night, Liu Zifeng opened the mezzanine of the bedside cabinet, took out the secret radio switch, and sent a telegram familiarly. The telegraph signal passed through the Lujiang River and flew to the anti-Japanese organization on Gulangyu Island.

However, his radio signal was secretly monitored by Japanese spies.

In response to the late-night attack on Xiahe Pier, the Japanese military headquarters quietly increased the intensity of radio listening. At this time, in the listening section of the Japanese army, the female listener searched carefully. She listened hard for a while and then transferred the signal

Locked and said: Just discovered a set of unknown radio waves?

The interception section chief asked happily: Great? Continue to monitor, intercept the content of the radio station, and detect the location of the radio station.

"Yes!" The female observer's fingertips trembled slightly, with an excited look on her face.

"Great!" The interception section chief looked at the map quickly.

At this time, the signal monitored by the female listener was suddenly cut off. She was so angry that she threw her earphones on the table with a frustrated look on her face.

It turned out that during the process of sending the telegram, the experienced Liu Zifeng suddenly realized that the enemy might be listening, so he urgently changed the wavelength, call sign, and password of the radio station, causing the enemy agents to lose the radio signal they were listening to.

After receiving the notice, the Xiamen Provisional Working Committee and the Anti-Japanese Patriotic National Salvation Organization of Gulangyu Island took quick action and quickly organized a massive parade, which effectively inspired people's hearts and fighting spirit.

On the evening of the next day, people from all walks of life gathered in the auditorium of Yinghua Middle School. After a simple mobilization by the organizers, they lit torches and started a march of tens of thousands of people to "snow the national humiliation."

The parade started from Yinghua Middle School. Everyone held torches high to form a long fire matrix, which looked very spectacular and shocking. The teachers and students in front of the parade carried a banner saying "Xiamen University and Middle School Students Oppose Japanese Invaders".

Male and female students held the signs of Xiamen University, Xiamen Overseas Chinese Teachers, and Xiamen Girls' High School. The procession marched towards the concession area. Along the way, the torch held high by teachers and students was like a galloping fire dragon, setting off a climax of the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement.

The parade arrived on the street according to the scheduled route. They shouted "Down with Japanese imperialism", "Annihilate the Japanese pirates", "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation" and other slogans. The crowd was excited. As they walked, everyone sang "The Volunteer Army"

"March", slogans and songs one after another

.A large number of onlookers gathered along the road. They shouted slogans with the students, applauded and cheered for the teachers and students. Other citizens, dock workers, seamen, and store workers also picked up slogans and joined the parade one after another.

Go. The number of parades is getting bigger and bigger.

As the parade was marching, and passing through the checkpoint in the British Embassy District, a British and French patrol stopped the marching crowd. A British patrol hurriedly ran over and shouted to everyone in English: "You can't pass here, please hurry up."

"Return". The man said while gesturing.

After a short pause, the students walking in front shouted slogans and tried to rush over. The patrol officers quickly pointed their guns at the rushing crowd and pulled the bolts of their guns.

The leading British police chief shouted in English: "Don't come here, otherwise we will shoot!"

The students in front were forced to stop, and the marchers confronted the British and French patrols.

The British patrol chief yelled loudly in English: "This is a public concession, you are not allowed to mess around. You are not allowed to pass without the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau."

During the parade, a tall, middle-aged male teacher stood up bravely and went straight to the British patrol officers to negotiate with them: "Excuse me, Mr. Sheriff, this is our Chinese land, why can't we pass!"

The British patrol chief said arrogantly: "Although it is your land, the public concession is a privilege granted to us British people by the Chinese government. You must obey our regulations here."

The middle-aged male teacher said angrily: "But have you ever thought about it. While you were enjoying the so-called "privileges" in China, our country was suffering from the invasion of Japanese imperialism. Large areas of the country were lost. People everywhere were devastated and the people were in dire straits.

As for you, you live and eat on our land, but in the face of the Japanese massacre and occupation, you are indifferent and sit back and do nothing. Where is your humanitarianism and where is the "friendliness" you keep talking about..."

"I think maybe you have misunderstood. Our British, French and American ambassadors are trying to find ways to help you!" the British patrol chief defended with a blushing face.

The middle-aged male teacher said righteously: "Since you are thinking of ways to help us, why are you stopping our parade? Is this what you call help?"

"This...this..." the patrol chief said hesitantly.

The middle-aged male teacher said: "Since you are sincerely helping us, let our team pass!"

"Okay, but there are regulations in the Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce. You must put away your flags and slogans, and you cannot pass quietly by shouting slogans." The British Patrol Inspector made another request.

"Okay, I agree to your request." The middle-aged male teacher turned to the parade and shouted: "Everyone put away the flags and slogans and pass the checkpoint quietly."

The patrol finally gave way to a road, and the long procession passed through the checkpoint in an orderly manner as required.
