The appearance of Meng Shaoyuan quickly changed the headache for the soldiers of the national army from the attack by the Japanese squad.
The method he adopted was not novel at all to Meng Shaoyuan himself, but it was a revelation to commanders at all levels of the national army:
National mobilization!
All the people were mobilized by him.
The common people are completely spontaneous.
Because this is protecting your home!
Lieutenant Commander Kei Kawamoto, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese hidden force, was captured alive!
This was the highest-ranking military officer captured in Japan before the Battle of Shipai began.
Originally, according to Meng Shaoyuan's intention, he wanted to publicly execute Funamoto Kai, so that all the people would breathe a bad breath.
But in the end reason got the better of him.
Killing Kei Funamoto would certainly relieve his anger, but this would most likely be used by the Japanese to make a big fuss.
On the contrary, China can use Chuanbenkai to open the door to public opinion.
So even if a hundred people were not happy, Meng Shaoyuan still sent someone to escort the ship to Chongqing in the rear area.
With the failure of Shipmoto Kai, the Japanese squadrons are gradually being disintegrated one by one.
The Chinese troops stationed in various places have also become much more cautious.
Once a convoy or armed members appear, they will often be on full alert, keep their distance, and ask for passwords.
On May 18, a security team stationed in Huidong Village discovered the situation in time and stopped a group of Japanese troops who attempted a sneak attack.
With the help of local residents, the security team killed four people on the spot and captured two alive.
When the news reached Hu Lian's ears, he still couldn't believe it.
Was it really the security team that did it?
Hu Lian was full of doubts.
The security team is only used to maintain local security and has extremely low combat effectiveness.
Can they wipe out a Japanese squad?
"After investigation, it was indeed done by the security team." Chief of Staff Wang Naichao said with certainty: "Meng Shaoyuan, the military commander, adopted a joint defense and joint security approach, and publicized the brutality of the Japanese army.
He ordered the scene of the Hermit Village massacre to be photographed, and then distributed a large number of photos to surrounding villagers. This aroused the anger of the people to the greatest extent, and they spontaneously participated in the arrest of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army was sparsely located in the local area, and our garrison troops increased their defense efforts, so the situation was quickly reversed.
It was the security team of Huidong Village. There was about a platoon. The platoon leader Cao Jun decisively ordered to open fire after asking the Japanese army for passwords to no avail. This caused the Japanese army to be caught off guard.
Ordinary people also voluntarily assisted the security forces. A Japanese soldier fled into the nearby woods in a panic, but was stabbed to death with a dung fork by three villagers who were ambushing him there. "
"Dung fork?"
Hu Lian almost laughed: "Those who can be sent to perform such a task must be considered elite soldiers of the Japanese army, but they were stabbed to death by a dung fork?"
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something: "How is the search mission going now?"
"Meng Shaoyuan brought more than 300 people and divided them into three groups. They are searching for them with all their strength."
Wang Naichao said via the interface:
"Their actions were quite effective. The Japanese commander Kei Funamoto was captured alive. I don't think the rest will survive for long. It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated."
"Um."
Hu Lian nodded: "Ask Meng Shaoyuan to bring some people to my place."
He had some considerations.
Shipai is a small village, with less than a hundred households.
However, as the battle to defend Shipai progressed, personnel came and went very frequently.
Although Hu Lian is a soldier, he knows very well that there will be Japanese special forces or traitors among them, who will report the situation of Shipai to the Japanese army.
He needs experienced agents like Meng Shaoyuan.
Before engaging in a formal battle with the Japanese army, he must ensure that all possible hidden dangers are eliminated.
No one is more qualified for this job than Meng Shaoyuan.
Previously, in the telegram Dai Li sent to Hu Lian, he also specifically added that Meng Shaoyuan could be reused.
Hu Lian still trusted Dai Li.
There is no reason for this.
The National Government implemented monogamy and it was written into the "Marriage Law".
In the judicial interpretation issued by the Nationalist Government, the term "concubine" in traditional culture was outlawed and replaced by a man's "family members", collectively referred to as "concubines" to the outside world.
Therefore, "aunties" have also become a major initiative of the National Government, forming a unique "auntie culture".
This "concubine culture" does not only appear among wealthy businessmen, landlords and gentry. Senior government officials and even military generals are vying to marry several concubines as a matter of pride.
Hu Lian's second wife was Zeng Guangyu, the sister of Zeng Yuehan, then commander of the 14th Division of the 18th Army.
As a result, he was criticized by people, saying that he was ungrateful and abandoned his wife who was a loser.
In the end, it was Dai Li who helped him settle the matter.
Therefore, Hu Lian has always had a good relationship with Dai Li.
Anyone recommended by Dai Li will definitely come here.
Moreover, although Hu Lian has been in the army all year round, the name of "Pantian Tiger" Meng Shaoyuan is still very familiar to him.
If there is anyone who can help him solve this problem, Hu Lian is convinced that this person is Meng Shaoyuan!
…
"Hu Lian asked me to rush to Shipai immediately to report."
After putting down the phone, Meng Shaoyuan said: "I guess I was asked to eliminate the hidden enemies in Shipai. When I got here, I did not report to Hu Lian immediately, but started working directly. I have already violated some taboos."
Li Zhifeng sniffed and said nothing.
He really couldn't understand this business in officialdom, and he didn't want to understand it.
"Order, Yi Mingyan and Su Junwen, continue to pursue the remaining enemies."
Meng Shaoyuan thought about it briefly and said: "Half of the squadron under my command will be left under the command of Miao Zhixing, and the rest will follow me to Shipai."
"Otherwise, I'd better stay and you can take Miao Zhixing with you."
Li Zhifeng was more willing to stay here and confront the Japanese army directly: "I have more experience than Miao Zhixing."
"Yes, you are more experienced than Miao Zhixing, so Shipai needs you more."
Meng Shaoyuan could see what he was thinking at a glance: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of battles for you to fight when we get to Shipai. Maybe you will die in Shipai."
"Bah, bah!"
Li Zhifeng spat several times: "Sir, instead of letting me wear small shoes, are you directly cursing me?"
"Not just you, maybe me too."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at it but it didn't look like he was joking at all: "With the strength of one division, defending Shipai, facing tens of thousands of Japanese elites from the sea, land and air, the situation is not optimistic."
"There's no sea, it's a river." Li Zhifeng muttered.
"Fuck you."
Meng Shaoyuan was amused by him: "You are getting more and more courageous now, and you openly pick on your superiors. When we come back alive this time, Li Zhifeng, I guarantee you will receive a bunch of shoes!"
Tsk, I no longer care.
However, you should try not to provoke this guy first, otherwise, he will directly prevent you from going to the battlefield and drive you back, which will not be beautiful!
