Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 233 Make the decision for the people!

"Special commissioner, this is the biggest difficulty our army is facing now. A large number of troops are used to guide the people. And many people don't understand. They think that there is food in Changshu City, which can save their lives, and they also ask us to escort them to the city. go to the rear.

Even some people have reached the point of being unreasonable.It's really a dilemma now. On the one hand, the brothers of the 44th Division are fighting on the front line without effective support, but on the other hand, a lot of manpower and material resources are wasted on the guidance of the people.

Moreover, there was news from the front line earlier that the front troops could no longer hold on,."

Zhang Jie's face was solemn, and I'm afraid that at this time, he could only pour bitter water on Duan Wulai.

Duan Wu is a special commissioner, if you don't tell him about this kind of thing, Zhang Jie probably won't be able to find someone to sue lightly.

Duan Wu listened carefully and nodded frequently.

And those common people only saw Duan Wu's movements, and they were very young, and thought that Duan Wu had less seniority and was easy to talk.Then someone said: "You are a special commissioner, right? Then you have to solve the difficulties we ordinary people are encountering now.

First, we have nothing to eat and we need you to provide us with enough food.Second, you must escort us to safety.Otherwise, why should we ordinary people support you for nothing? "

Duan Wu still nodded and listened carefully.

Zhang Jie hurriedly said: "Special commissioner, the frontline soldiers are running out of food now, how can there be food for them to eat? We are also short of soldiers. Now it is not enough to stop the Japanese, where will we allocate troops to escort them?"

"Excuses, you are all excuses!"

Before the common people could speak, Duan Wu spoke first.

When the common people heard the Dragon Boat Festival reprimanding Zhang Jie, some secretly gave thumbs up, and some applauded.

Because they have finally found a good official who can make decisions for them.

And those two young men with northeast accents also showed mysterious smiles.

They think they have won, they are spies, lurking among these people is to create chaos and weaken Changshu's military power.But at this time, a boy with a small head turned out to be a special commissioner, and he looked stupid and easy to deceive.

Moreover, he even agreed to the unreasonable demands of these people, and he was still reprimanding the soldiers who gave him correct opinions.Where can they find such a stupid commissioner?

They took the opportunity to say: "This commissioner is a good official, he can make decisions for us. He is the backbone of our people!"

"Yes, it's still the special commissioner who understands the people's sentiments!"

As soon as the two devils yelled, other civilians also yelled: "The special commissioner is a good man, he is a good official who can be the master of the people."

"Yes, special commissioners are much better than those big-headed soldiers."

"Look at other people. Only educated and knowledgeable people can say such things."

"A good official is one who can understand people's sentiments!"

"It doesn't matter how young they are, but they are far-sighted and know the truth that the people can carry a boat or overturn it."

"Yes, yes, we ordinary people are the cornerstone of the entire country!"

···················
The common people chattered a lot, and their favorability for the Dragon Boat Festival soared.

The two ghost spies contributed to the flames, and they also held the Dragon Boat Festival high.

But in Zhang Jie's eyes, Duan Wu is a jerk.What time is it now, and you are still here to play the official role, sing high-profile, and gain favorability?

The Japanese are already approaching the city, and you don't want to evacuate the people, but you are still booing?

The food in Changshu City is gone, what will the defenders eat?Doesn't that shake the morale of the army?
Send people to escort the common people to the rear, that is thousands of people, plus the original residents of Changshu City, there will be more than 1 people.

And so many people need to be escorted, how many people are needed to escort them?At least one group is needed, right?
And the 44th Division, how many people are there in total?
Zhang Jie hates it very much, and really hopes that there will be a sensible upper-level official who can solve the problem practically.Instead of sending a brat to make things more and more chaotic.

It's just that at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival has already become one with those ordinary people.

While chatting cordially with the people, he said: "I know all your demands. Generally speaking, there are not many. There are only two, one needs to be eaten, and the other needs to be escorted. This request is really very important. Reasonable and not too high."

"Yes, yes, Commissioner, our requirements are really not high. The problem of eating will be solved for us, and then we will be escorted back. It would be better to give us some travel expenses before we leave."

One of the spies responded immediately, and put forward new conditions.

The other common people didn't know, and agreed: "Yes, yes, it's better to give us some travel expenses. After all, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. We can't be hungry all the time, can we?"

"Reasonable, reasonable, very reasonable."

The Dragon Boat Festival fully agreed, and the people around were emotional, and some even knelt down and began to worship the Dragon Boat Festival.

Human hearts are fleshy, and they themselves feel that this request is too much.But I didn't want the young commissioner in front of me to agree to everything.

And the two spies also burst into laughter.Because of this, I am afraid that Changshu City will be empty before the imperial army arrives.

Because these more than 300 people are only part of the refugees who poured into Changshu City.Thousands more people, some have already entered the city, some are still on the road.

Although the Japanese expelled them and removed the stronghold of the 44th Division outside Changshu by the way, they did not really exterminate them.Otherwise, how can we carry this big burden on the 44th Division?
"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jie sighed heavily, and even felt that with the Dragon Boat Festival, there might be no need for Changshu to keep watch.Because the city of Changshu is empty, how can we fight the Japanese?

At this time, Cheng Wanli also thought so.It's just that he couldn't figure out why the originally shrewd and capable brother Duan Wu had become such a jerk at this time.Is it because the official is too high, no one can control him, and he started to act arbitrarily?

Cheng Wanli sighed, thinking: It would be great if Xie Jinyuan was here, and he could persuade the Duanwu brothers in front of him.

It turned out that Duan Wu and Cheng Wanli came first, with Xie Jinyuan, Zhu Shengzhong, Sun Bo'an and others following behind.

Coming from the headquarters of the 39th Army, the Dragon Boat Festival did not let the troops take a car.Because the devil's reconnaissance planes and bombers appeared above their heads from time to time, if they drove a long convoy, they must be courting death.And it is easy to expose their surprise attack force.

So Duan Wu gave up the mountain road and took the forest road instead. Once they encountered the devil's reconnaissance plane, they would hide.And he led the troops to investigate first.

That's why he and Cheng Wanli's independent battalion arrived at the checkpoint first, and encountered people punching the checkpoint!
