Song Zihan looked at the captain tenderly, her heart full of admiration. It was no surprise that they had taken Qingdao and divided the territory, but they just gave it all away, leaving the port and two nearby coastal artillery batteries alone. This was too generous! What on earth did he want?

After taking over Qingdao, we will garrison there. We welcome the Japanese army to fight. The overseas Chinese must be safe. Be careful not to bomb your own people.

Just this simple sentence caused a huge wave on the land of China. Captain Leng Qiang was still as cool as ever. The sentence "conquer Qingdao" did not have much value. It had already been conquered once. Although it was gratifying to see, it did not cause a sensation anymore.

The words "garrison on the spot" are somewhat shocking. Are they going to fight the Japanese? Have they considered the Japanese fleet? Have they considered the Japanese air force? The Japanese aircraft carrier battle group is quite strong. Can it withstand the Japanese counterattack? If it can withstand it, it will be the largest city recovered since the Anti-Japanese War.

They welcomed the Japanese army to go to war and, as always, did not take the devils seriously. It seemed that they were really prepared. As for the overseas Chinese, not killing them with a cold gun was already a bit disappointing to the people's expectations. They also kindly reminded the devils not to bomb their own people. This sentence was a bit funny. The overseas Chinese could be anywhere and the Japanese army could hit them with a random bomb. As for whether they were bombed or not, wasn't it up to the cold gun to decide?

The Jiaolong Regiment had already started two warships, which were circling in Jiaozhou Bay with their muzzles facing outward. The machine guns and newly added large-caliber heavy machine guns were all mounted, ready to deal with any invading Japanese army.

After the plaintext telegram was sent, the happiest people were the top leaders in Chongqing. The Zaoyi Campaign had become a stalemate, Jianli had been lost, the 59th Army of the 33rd Army on the right wing of the Fifth War Zone suffered heavy losses, and retreated to Shishou and Jiangling, fighting the Japanese on the second front.

News of a great victory came from Qingdao. This time the New Fourth Division seemed to be the main force and belonged to the same National Army sequence. Naturally, it stimulated the National Army's defensive sequence in Zaoyi area.

In Chongqing, senior officials held a press conference for Chinese and foreign journalists at 9 a.m., claiming that this was a joint plan between themselves and Captain Leng Qiang, a planned action carried out behind the Japanese army, which was a complete success. They also said that there were other counterattack plans, but the timing was not yet ripe.

The press conference lasted two and a half hours, and the top leaders were all eloquent. Chinese and foreign reporters were all shocked. What other counterattack plans? Jinan? Or the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line. A counterattack without the participation of cold guns is immature. The areas where cold guns can be involved are limited, either Jinan or the two railway lines.

This sentence made the Japanese high-ranking officers nervous. They had been planning to send the defenders of the Jinpu Line and the Longhai East Line to test the railway lines, but they immediately called off the plan after hearing about the other counterattack plans of the high-ranking officers.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, a light cruiser departed from Haizhou and approached Qingdao, hoping to test its strength. However, it was bombarded by several artillery fire from the Tuandao Fort, causing black smoke to rise. The Japanese warship did not dare to approach any further and made a big circle and dived into the deep sea.

At 11:30 a.m., the Japanese naval aviation arrived in Qingdao and circled around Liuting Airport and Cangkou Airport. The airport runway was crowded with people. Just as they were about to drop a wave of bombs on the suspected Yimeng guerrillas and the New Fourth Division, they received an emergency call from the naval aviation fleet:

Don't drop the bombs, return immediately!

The special forces of the New Fourth Division have been dispersed to all directions of Qingdao City. They are conducting reconnaissance in Laoshan in the east, Chengyang in the north, and various small islands in the south. Just now, when the Japanese naval aviation passed by Daguancun Island, the reconnaissance special forces sent a telegram. The New Fourth Division could not send this message. The Communications Department of the Yimeng Guerrillas sent a plain text message:

The city of Qingdao was being rebuilt after the war. Japanese expatriates had strong feelings for Qingdao. Seeing that the city was in chaos due to the war, they put aside their prejudices and helped with the reconstruction. The airport, seaport, and factory were all full of their busy figures. The captain of the Yimeng guerrilla team, Leng Qiang, was very impressed. After a cordial conversation with the expatriate representatives, he decided to provide three meals a day to the residents.

There were only five minutes left before the Japanese military aircraft arrived after the telegram was sent. The Army Command contacted the aircraft carrier formation and stopped the bombing at the most critical moment.

Shameless! The worst kind of shame! The Japanese Navy and Army Command was furious, and the Japanese headquarters was also furious. They had to issue a telegram to condemn it and arouse the sympathy of the international community.

The newspapers had to wait until tomorrow. A plainly coded rebuke telegram from the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters was sent out first:

When two countries are at war, they must not harm innocent people. I hope Captain Leng Qiang will hand over the overseas Chinese, otherwise he will bear the consequences himself.

At the Jiading Mountain Command Center of the Yimeng Guerrillas, Chen Feng finished reading the Japanese army's plain text, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Zi Han, record, and send messages in clear code."

Song Zihan held a notebook in his hand and prepared to take shorthand notes.

"I was shot in the back, innocent? These two words have been shouted across China since the September 18th Incident. It is extremely ridiculous to hear them from the mouth of a beast. I am too lazy to refute them."

"In view of the Japanese army's coded threats, the 37,654 overseas Chinese and prisoners of war who have decided to repent have decided to go on a hunger strike in protest. I will give you a chance to reorganize your words in 24 hours. I will still try to persuade them to stop the hunger strike. Otherwise, I will hold back my grief and let people bury them with honor. The Chinese people don't even have enough food to eat themselves, let alone so many foreign invaders."

"I, Leng Qiang, always keep my word."

The Japanese high-ranking officials finally realized that they were facing the cold gun of the God of Killing Demon this time! Why did they make such a threat in a fit of anger? At the beginning, the Imperial Army would not let them go, but later the God of Killing became more tolerant and began to contact the Imperial Army for uprising. This time, news came from Qingdao that they actually captured prisoners of war. What a great improvement! Did I go too far and threaten him to hand over the overseas Chinese? Trouble is coming!

The plain text message quickly spread throughout the world. Previous messages did not attract much attention from foreign forces except domestic forces, but this message became an instant hit. The legendary Chinese anti-Japanese hero, who had captured the city of Qingdao and more than 30,000 overseas Chinese and prisoners of war, was threatened by the Japanese army that they would not stop the hunger strike of more than 30,000 people.

This telegram is very interesting. I felt like a fool when I read it the first time. The second time I found it quite interesting. When I read it the third time I found it very interesting.

Intruder, went on hunger strike to protest, held back the grief, gave a proper burial, and reorganized his language. What a talent! He killed your people and put the blame on you. You wanted to gain sympathy, but the three words "intruder" overturned the conspiracy. People who understand cold guns know that he would do what he said.

The Japanese military high-ranking officials were in trouble. They didn't care about the death of more than 30,000 people, but if they starved to death in public in front of the international community, they would have no way to save face.
