Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 256 The Japanese Army Approaches!

Facing Chen Yong's complaints like a storm, Duan Wu was not surprised.

Although Chen Yong is loyal and brave, he lacks resourcefulness.

This can be seen from the first contact with Chen Yong in the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, since this is the case, why did the Ministry of Ministers put Chen Yong in such an important place?
One word 'courage'.

What the Minister's Department wanted was the word 'courage', because without this word, no one would dare to stick to Changshu at this time.

And just like the Battle of the Four Lines Warehouse, the entire 44th Division defended for two days, and in the end there were only a few people who could go back alive.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for the 44th Division to be called an abandoned son.If you don't have a little courage, I'm afraid no one can stick to it.And this is why Chen Yongshou is here.

Of course, it's not that Chen Yong has no resourcefulness at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been promoted to the position of division commander just by relying on the word 'courage'.What's more, there is a resourceful and resourceful Staff Officer Xiao by his side.

Staff Officer Xiao felt that offending the commissioner at this time was not good for the 44th Division.So he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Don't be offended by the special commissioner. This is all caused by the bombing of the arsenal. Our commander is not blaming you, but now that the morale of the army is slackened, our commander is also very headache!"

As he said that, Staff Officer Xiao even winked at Chen Yong.

Seeing this, Chen Yong quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, Special Commissioner, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you just now."

Chen Yong trusted this Staff Officer Xiao too much.Just one look from Officer Xiao could make him suppress his anger and change his words in an instant.

But it is true, if there is no such a staff officer Xiao who assists Chen Yong, how can Chen Yong be where he is today?

At the same time, Duan Wu laughed and said: "It's okay, but whenever someone encounters this kind of thing, they will do something that is not right."

At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival gave Chen Yong a step down, otherwise, if the generals were really at odds, how could Changshu City be guarded.

Duan Wu said: "Let me show you these things first. Spies are not lurking in my city of Changshu for a day."

With that said, Duan Wu took out the physical evidence he had collected.An exquisite hand-painted map of Changshu.A broken, charred fragment of a map.There are also classified files with munitions numbers.

"This is, this is the account book for our arms shipments. Where did you find it?"

Staff Officer Xiao was shocked at this moment, because he had been doing these things all the time.Although he only saw a few scorched pages, he was sure that this was the account book for their arms shipments.

"I found it at the clock shop of Sun's family in the city. The owner, Boss Sun, is a spy. I found this map in a courtyard in the west of the city. I killed seven spies there. The head of the household, He was killed three days ago."

Duan Wu explained, but at this time, Chen Yong said angrily: "Grandma, the little devil has already hidden spies in Changshu?"

Duan Wu said: "Yes, this Boss Sun has been lurking in Changshu three years ago. So we suffered from the Japanese army because we were passive.

After the Japanese army seized the Northeast and North China, we still didn't wake up, and no one thought that the Japanese would continue to invade the south.It's all peace and prosperity.

There was no defense against the Japanese army, and the infiltration of the Japanese army turned a deaf ear.Not to mention the slightest desire to regain lost ground.

Therefore, as soldiers, we should not only taste the bitter fruit of today, but also bear the blame! "

At this moment, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao felt ashamed when they heard this remark.

Although it cannot be said that the Chinese army is really not unprepared.But no one thought about regaining the lost ground, and no one thought about hitting the little devil's homeland.

Therefore, as Duan Wu said, being content with the status quo is the real reason for the defeat of Chinese soldiers.

They turned a blind eye to the territory occupied by the Japanese invaders, and failed to effectively infiltrate the most important intelligence department of the Japanese army.Often when the Japanese army came, the Chinese army did not know what was going on.

As for wanting to regain the lost ground and fight to the devil's homeland, no one thought about it.In their eyes, Japan is powerful and invincible.

Cowardice on the frontal battlefield, lack of intelligence, fear of the Japanese army, coupled with numerous factions, mixed good and bad, and other factors were the root causes of the great defeat.

So regarding the words of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao had to be ashamed.Although they have tried their best to fight the Japanese, there is a gap in military strength, intelligence, and the quality of soldiers.It's not something that can be healed in just a few days, or even a few months.

The reason is lack of preparation.There is no intention of going to war with the Japanese army at all.Coupled with the mutual dismantling among the factions, the good and bad factions scrambled to flee first, which resulted in the current situation.

But at this time, it is useless to discuss these issues any more.The Dragon Boat Festival ordered Chen Yong to first eliminate the spies and spies in the army.Because Staff Officer Xiao said just now, there are not many people who have access to those important account books.

In other words, traitors appeared in the upper echelons of the 44th Division.This man had to be found, or he would be a ticking time bomb for the 44th Division.

And second, tell the soldiers of the division that the explosion of the arsenal was just to paralyze the Japanese army.And just outside the city, they have a large number of reinforcements coming, so they must fight with peace of mind.

Chen Yong thinks this is a means of deception, but so far, he has no better way.

Fortunately, Chen Yong transported some weapons and ammunition to the front line earlier.So this battle can still persist.As for whether it can last for two days, it can only be a matter of luck.

Of course, they never imagined how crazy the Dragon Boat Festival's battle plan was.Because the Dragon Boat Festival has always been with the ultimate goal of destroying enemy soldiers.Continually consuming the little devil's troops and rapidly weakening the little devil is the key to the victory or defeat of this war!

"Report, a large number of Japanese troops are found approaching outside the city."

At this moment, a messenger came to report.

Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao looked at Duan Wu at the same time.Perhaps they wanted to listen to the commissioner's opinion and see if this young officer could take up this responsibility.

Duan Wu said without hesitation: "Even if the Japanese army reaches the base of the city, they will not immediately attack the city. The most urgent task is to find out the spies and spies. Casting the inside of the city is like a copper wall and an iron wall.

The enemy didn't know the situation in the city, so they didn't dare to act rashly, which bought us time.

In addition, stabilizing the morale of the army must also be carried out at the same time.

In this way, Staff Officer Xiao, you are responsible for finding out this spy.Master Chen is responsible for stabilizing the emotions of the soldiers.And I want to send the people away first.By the way, get them a batch of weapons for self-defense in the evacuation of the people. "

"This is impossible, there are no extra weapons in the city."

Chen Yong shook his head, and at this time, even Staff Officer Xiao was not optimistic and said: "Special commissioner, you don't know that the arsenal was bombed. We are short of weapons and ammunition for soldiers now, so what are we going to use to arm those refugees? "
