Chapter 1342: Kailu Victory! (2)

Tianjin, French Concession, Ta Kung Pao newspaper.

President Wu Dingchang, Manager Hu Zhengzhi, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang Jiluan, the three giants of "Ta Kung Pao" gathered at the newspaper to hold an emergency meeting in the president's office!

The topic of the meeting was to directly replace the front page headlines of the Ta Kung Pao published this morning, mainly about the reports of the Japanese army's attack on Shanhaiguan, and replace the news of the Kailu victory that I just obtained.

It is also a special extra special number special issue specifically for the Lu Victory!

The Ta Kung Pao has become the number one newspaper in the north since September 18th. The newspaper circulation has exceeded 50,000 copies. At this time, that was an amazing number. Of course, compared to the millions of copies in later generations, it is a witch!

In this era, the ones that can issue more than 10,000 copies are big newspapers, and more than 50,000 copies are undoubtedly the first in China today.

This achievement is something that the Big Three could not imagine. Moreover, Wu Dingchang doesn’t need to raise funds for newspapers now, and the newspaper has already turned losses into profits.

The three people were divided into two rows. For the sake of cost, President Wu Dingchang had already typed and delivered for printing. If the version was to be revised, what should I do if the newspapers printed before? They can't be kept at home and not sold, right?

Editor-in-chief Zhang Jiluan believes that such a major good news as the Great Victory in Lu must be published on the front page, and it must be told to the people across the country as soon as possible to inspire the people's fighting spirit in the anti-Japanese war.

Although the additional issuance is also possible, the effect is obviously different from the front page headlines.

And if you send a message, it may be one step later than other newspapers. The Japanese army attacked Shanhaiguan. This is no longer news. At least major newspapers have certain news information. Regarding the Kailu Victory, Ta Kung Pao was the first to obtain information. If you do not use this time difference and let other newspapers grab the front, you will lose a lot!

The two argued, on the one hand, starting from the cost and on the other hand, considering influence, both of them have their own reasons. It was a bit dilemma to put General Manager Hu Zhengzhi in the middle!

What to do? It’s not a solution to continue quarrel like this. In the end, Hu Zhengzhi made a decision, and Wu Dingchang and Zhang Jiluan each accounted for half.

In other words, the printed "Ta Kung Pao" will not be invalidated and will continue to be issued, but the additional issue is issued in it. The content is naturally about the news of the Great Victory of Lu, and another issue is made. Similarly, today's newspapers have the front page headlines changed to the news of the Great Victory of Lu. The additional issue is issued in it about the news of the Japanese army's attack on Shanhaiguan!

Two issues of newspapers a day, except for the front page headlines and extra-vote comparisons, the other contents are the same. Such distribution is probably the only one in the history of the Ta Kung Pao!

But in this way, two newspapers have become precious varieties collected by later newspapers and journals. The two copies were finally auctioned at a high price of tens of millions of yuan, which is probably what the three giants of the Ta Kung Pao did not expect.

As soon as the newspaper was launched, the 50,000 copies printed for the first time were quickly snatched away. The three giants' eyes turned red and decided to print 100,000 copies!

This one hundred thousand yuan was quickly consumed within three days, and some sales booths were photographed with hundreds of people!

As soon as the news came out, the Chinese people were naturally excited, while the Japanese were in panic. They were defeated, but the news was not announced at all, but the Chinese people first announced it.

What does this mean? It means that the Japanese military cannot even control the situation of its own troops. This is not only a failure, but also a shame!

Fengtian, Yamato Hotel.

Wudo Nobuyi's temporary stay.

Ling Yuan was conquered, and Muto Nobuyi was in a good mood. The Northeast Army did not do any extreme behavior regarding the Shanhaiguan incident, which also made his heart relax.

On the evening of the fourth day, he opened a bottle of sake and recruited some geishas to perform. After drinking too much, he forced two geishas with good looks to stay with him.

Wudo Nobuyi was getting stronger and stronger. After a night of attack, the two geisha fainted happily.

"Your Commander, Your Excellency Commander..."

"Um……"

"Your Excellency Commander, the Tianjin garrison troops are in urgent need of the telegram!" Muto Nobuyi's adjutant Colonel Uehara urgently knocked on the door of Muto Nobuyi's bedroom.

"It's Uehara, what's the matter?" Muto Nobuyoshi woke up from his hangover, heard clearly that it was his adjutant's voice, and asked in a low voice.

"An urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Nakamura, commander of Tianjin garrison army!"

"Nakamura, what's wrong with him?"

"Your Excellency Commander, something big happened. Major General Motegi, the commander of the 4th Brigade, was captured by the Chinese people!" Uehara said quickly.

"Nani, Mogi Kennosuke was captured. Could it be that Nakamura was joking with me?" Muto Nobuyoshi said in disbelief.

"Really, the Chinese newspaper was published early this morning, and the Fourth Brigade was defeated by the Chinese!" Uehara said.

"What?" Muto Nobuyi was already eating, put on his pajamas and opened the door, rushed out, and snatched the telegram from Hana's hand.

"Bastard, you are bullying. The Chinese people have no ability to defeat the elite cavalry brigade of our great Japanese Empire!" Muto Nobuyi angrily tore it to pieces when he saw the content of the telegram!

"Master, maybe this is true?"

"No, there is no such possibility. The Chinese people have absolutely no such ability, absolutely no!" Muto Nobuyi roared.

"Commander, did Chief of Staff Koi Iso Kyoto reported that the 4th Brigade was blocked under Kailu City the day before yesterday? The loss was quite large, maybe..."

"Bastard, do you even believe this kind of nonsense? This must have been fabricated by the despicable and shameless Chinese people. They are trying to influence our military morale and morale in this way. Do you understand?" Muto Nobuyoshi said angrily.

"Hayi!"

"Hiss Commander, Chief of Staff Koiso urgently!" The voice of the communication staff came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

"Hisser Commander, telegram!"

Muto Nobuyi took the telegram, glanced slightly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, all sprinkled on the telegram!

"Commander, hurry up, call the doctor!" Colonel Uehara shouted hurriedly!

"No, don't call the doctor, you must not let people know about my vomiting blood!" Muto Nobuyoshi struggled to order Colonel Uehara.

"But Your Excellency Commander. You..."

"You can just go and invite the doctor to come quietly. In addition, block the news!" Muto Nobuyoshi said, and fainted after he said that!

Tongliao, the command center of the Kwantung Army East Route Army, Koiki Aki received a telegram from Masato Kuroya, and his heart was cold.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade was defeated, and Kennosuke Mogi's life and death were uncertain. The most elite cavalry brigade of the Japanese Empire was defeated so miserably, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Even if the First Cavalry Brigade was defeated, he didn't feel this way, because the First Cavalry Brigade was finally defeated by the Chinese people's plan. If he really had a duel based on his strength, he would never believe that the Chinese people had the ability to defeat the Fourth Cavalry Brigade head-on!

The atmosphere inside the command center was very depressing. The failure of the Eastern Route Army was actually the failure of Kojiki Kōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōō

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the only thing I want to withdraw the Fourth Cavalry Brigade. If you insist on fighting again, I am afraid that the Imperial Japanese Empire will never have the Fourth Cavalry Brigade anymore!" Tada Jun suggested.

"Ishihara, what do you think?" Koiki Akira looked at Ishihara. Maybe this person would give himself the right choice at this time.

"Old Master Koi, the Fourth Brigade has completely lost its fighting spirit, and the best choice to withdraw." Ishihara smiled.

"You agree to withdraw?" Koi Iso Kanakami said in surprise.

"The Chinese people are now full of morale, and they have also received support from the local people. Kuroya Jun is now in a defeat. If he insists, he will probably be in danger of being wiped out!" Ishihara smiled.

"Okay, order Colonel Kuroya to withdraw!" Koikiki Akira thought for a moment, and this was the only choice, unless he was willing to bear the responsibility of the entire 4th Cavalry Brigade.

"His Chief of Staff, Telegram from Commander Muto!"

"What?"

"What's going on? Why does the Commander know faster than us?" Koiki Akira Koi was extremely surprised.

"The Chinese army has probably announced this news to the whole world!" Ishihara smiled bitterly.

"Damn it, don't the whole world know it!"

"I'm afraid this is the case. In this great victory of the Chinese army, the domestic anti-Japanese sentiment will increase, and we will face greater public security issues!" Junda Tada.

"Report, the 36th Brigade reported that it has conquered Xiawa Town and is advancing into Chifeng!"

"If this bastard Miaki Takada hadn't changed his plan without his authorization, the Fourth Brigade would not have been defeated by the Chinese!" Koiki Aki scolded angrily.

"It's already here, and it's useless, but the crime of Takada Brigade Commander's arbitrarily changing the combat plan must be investigated. Because of him, our 4th Cavalry Brigade suffered a severe blow!" Junda Tada.

"It is inevitable to hold accountable, but now is not the time to hold accountable. I think the combat plan must be changed immediately!" Ishihara said seriously.

"How to say it?"

"Transfer the main force of the 6th Division to head north and attack Chifeng with all his strength!" Ishihara smiled.

"What should I do with Hiraizumi, Chengde?" Koiki Aki was stunned and said in a little confused.

"Is it the enemy of Chifeng so big, or is it Hiraizumi, Chengde's enemy easy to fight?" Ishihara said, "What's more, if we want to stand firm in Chengde, we must first solve Chifeng. Chifeng is in the hands of the Chinese people in one day, so we cannot really have the Rehe River!"

"Ishihara, right. In our Rehe combat plan, we first occupied Kailu and Chifeng, and then attacked Chengde from the north and south, and finally occupied the entire Rehe!" Tada Jun also agreed.

"But if the combat plan is changed, you must obtain the consent of Commander Muto. The 6th Division is also attacking Hiraizumi and Kuan Castle, and will break through soon. Now that I suddenly turn around and head north, I am afraid that the commander of the Sakamoto Division will not want to do it!" Koiki Akira said.

"It depends on whether Koiki Aki can tell you about Commander Toshi and Commander Sakamoto Division!" Ishihara said, "If you cannot occupy Ake Peak, the Inui plan will eventually end up in failure!"

"Ishihara Jun is exaggerating?" Tada Jun retorted dissatisfied.
