But what exactly made Wan Yi so angry?
What else can there be besides the shameless arrangement of independent groups by the Japanese?
And if they hadn't seen the Izumo sink with their own eyes, they might have believed it. Duanwu and others escaped on a speedboat.
Of course, speedboats do exist, and so do three people. But it was just Lao Tie, Yangguai, and Duan Wu. Others escaped on the Izumo.
Moreover, the Izumo sank near the Huangshan Fort.
However, the fact that the 672nd Group knew it did not mean that the Chairman also knew it. When the Chairman saw the news about the Japanese, he became furious.
"It's shameful, it's so shameful. That monkey boy led so many people to break out, and only three people were left in the end? If Huangshan Fort hadn't fired the cannon to rescue them, these three people would have been gone.
Pass my order and ask this little monkey to come to Nanjing to see me immediately! "
Secretary-General Yang responded repeatedly and exited the office.
But when he walked to the door, he was thinking that he had asked Mr. Huo of the 112th Division before. Mr. Huo said there were many people, but why did the Japanese say there were only three people?
He turned around and wanted to go back and report the matter, but saw that the Chairman's face was not very good-looking. He thought to himself: "I'd better not make myself uncomfortable. Let that little monkey come back and explain himself. Whether he lives or dies, that's not something I can decide."
Thinking of this, Secretary-General Yang went to pass the order. The order was directly given to the 112th Division, ordering him to return to Nanjing immediately to resume his duties at Dragon Boat Festival.
················
At the same time, Duanwu had already distributed all weapons and ammunition. Standing on top of the empty weapons and ammunition boxes, he shouted loudly: "Brothers! Ten short days have passed. Come and tell me, how are you doing now?"
"Not good, not good!!!"
The soldiers replied in unison.
Wan Yi felt cold after hearing this, and thought to himself: What kind of person he is, what kind of soldiers he brought out, a bunch of white-eyed wolves. I fed you so much pork stewed vermicelli, but you said it was not good. Are you feeling guilty?
Wan Yi was about to curse in his heart, but at this moment, Duanwu continued to yell: "Yes, of course it's not good. Because the little devils are still doing whatever they want in our land. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. They! For me China has brought countless sufferings. So how can we live a good life!
One thing I have a problem with is that if others don’t let me live a happy life, then they won’t want to live a happy life either! "
"Okay! Okay! Okay!..."
The soldiers were excited again.
At this time, Wan Yi nodded helplessly and thought to himself: I made the mistake of blaming others. What people are talking about is not that the food and accommodation in Group 672 were not good. But the little devils are still invading our Chinese territory, and the independent group has trouble sleeping and eating.
This kind of courage to care about the country and the people, and to serve the country and the people, made him admire Wan Yi. He immediately decided to help the independent group wherever he could.
At the same time, the pre-war mobilization for the Dragon Boat Festival was still not completed.
Because in these ten days, the soldiers' energy has been almost exhausted due to the short-term peace and censorship. And if they were allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy as before, I'm afraid some of them would be weak-handed.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must use its roar to call their souls back again.
However, when the soldiers of the 672nd Regiment heard his call, they couldn't bear it.
Most of the people in the 672nd Regiment are from the Northeast Army. At that time, many people evacuated from outside the pass and into the pass with tears in their eyes.
The Northeastern Army did not want to withdraw, but the military orders were overwhelming.
Marshal Zhang listens to the chairman of the committee, but they must listen to Marshal Zhang. As the saying goes, soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. The word "obey" is indeed very harmful sometimes.
They want to fight back and regain their lost ground. But there has never been this opportunity. When the Northeastern Army retreated to Shaanxi, it was ordered to suppress the Communists instead of fighting the Japanese.
So listening to the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, many Northeastern soldiers burst into tears, and some even roared angrily.
Wan Yi felt that something was wrong. Duan Wu was so good at winning people's hearts. If he kept shouting, his soldiers would have to run away with Duan Wu.
He hurriedly said: "Brother Duanwu, what you said is so good. Our soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory. If it weren't for the fact that the Huangshan Fort is an important line of defense in Jiangyin, I would have wanted to follow Brother Duanwu and fight with the Japanese together.
In this way, I will take proper care of the seriously injured people you mentioned, and I will also escort the Japanese engineers to the rear as you requested.
Moreover, I also prepared some food and water for the Dragon Boat Festival brothers. You see it’s getting late, right? hehe! "
Wan Yi apologized and smiled, how could he not know what was going on during the Dragon Boat Festival. This brother Wan Yi is going to drive people away.
But it's okay, he needs Wan Yi's strong support.
The first point is the issue of military uniforms.
The costumes of the independent group are too complicated. Not only were there military uniforms from various units, but some people even wore Japanese clothes.
On the battlefield, few people would choose to wear the enemy's clothes unless they were performing a special mission.
Because military uniforms are a symbol of status.
The first point is that if you wear the enemy's military uniform, you will easily be accidentally injured by your own people. The second point is that after you die, you will most likely be disposed of as the corpse of an enemy.
Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, all soldiers of the independent regiment must be put into uniform military uniforms, even if they are the uniforms of the Northeast Army, it does not matter. At least it looks like they are a Chinese army.
Secondly, there is the issue of food. Dragon Boat Festival requires Wan Yi to prepare three days of fast food for him, and it is high-quality fast food.
This is indeed very demanding. Because high-quality fast food requires meat. The 672nd Regiment gave the only ten boxes of military cans to Duanwu.
The rest was some cornmeal and dry food, and each person also brought a pot of water.
When everything was ready, Dragon Boat Festival said goodbye and left. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the communications officer of the 672nd Regiment came to deliver the order: "Regiment, there is an order from the summit. I order Commander Duanwu to set off immediately and return to Nanjing without any mistakes."
Wan Yi looked at Duanwu, who was digging his ears with his two middle fingers, pretending not to hear, and loudly reprimanded his soldiers:
"What are you doing? Why haven't you left yet? You bunch of soft-footed shrimps, are you all thinking about your mother-in-law?
You must remember that you are soldiers, and you are soldiers of the 88th Division Independent Regiment. Your lives are no longer your own.
Your life belongs to the people, and your life belongs to this country!
The country will perish without you! Without you, the people would be bullied by the Japanese and the Western colonists.
Do you want your children and grandchildren to become slaves of the colonists?
Come out with your courage, come out with your passion as men and as soldiers.
Today, we are going to use our blood to exchange for the dignity of the Chinese nation! ..."
