"Go and take away the food, weapons and ammunition. Some of the food will be given to the brothers of the 44th Division, and some will be distributed to the fleeing villagers. Remember, don't forget to tell the villagers that this food is from the Kong family, and the Kong family is leaving Changshu. . There was too much food to take away, so I gave it to everyone out of kindness. In order to help everyone take care of each other when leaving Changshu."
"yes!"
"Wait, we haven't finished yet. Let your battalion commander recruit troops. Select those who are bold and have clean family backgrounds. Organize a hundred people for me. I will ask them to escort the Kong family and all the people to retreat westward. .”
"yes!"
Duanwu ordered Cheng Wanli's men to deal with food, weapons and ammunition, and recruitment.
These are small things that can be done by experienced junior officers. As for conscription, Cheng Wanli must come in person.
But Dragon Boat Festival has a more important thing to do, and that is to eliminate rape.
This traitor is not the traitor of a traitor, but the traitor of a spy. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese spies who have sneaked into the city will be caught and the Japanese will lose their eyes and ears.
Of course, this does not seem to be a task that can be accomplished overnight.
Because Japanese spies were among the crowd, and there were suddenly so many people in Changshu City. How can we find this spy?
But Dragon Boat Festival has its own way, which is to find a patrol policeman who is familiar with the place.
But an ordinary patrol officer is not enough. This person must have certain connections and investigative capabilities.
Ma Ping'an is a person whom Dragon Boat Festival is very optimistic about.
In Duanwu's eyes, this person is bold and careful, and always has a silly smile on his face.
But Duanwu saw the disguise in this silly smile.
Duanwu didn't know what Ma Pingan was pretending to be. He may be avoiding the pursuit of his enemies, or he may be an expert who has gone into hiding, or he may have done something disgraceful.
But these are not important to the Dragon Boat Festival. The important thing is that this person can do things for the Dragon Boat Festival and can find Japanese spies.
But why was Duanwu so sure that Ma Pingan would be able to find a spy for him?
There are two reasons for this:
The first point is familiarity. As an old patrol officer, the most basic quality is to recognize people.
An excellent veteran patrol officer should at least know more than 80% of the population in his jurisdiction.
And if this old patrolman works in a small town for ten or even twenty years, then he will be a walking map of the town, or a walking face recognition camera.
Therefore, as long as they are outsiders from Changshu Town. Veteran patrolman Ma Ping'an can definitely tell the difference.
The second point is my experience as a patrol policeman. As a patrol policeman, observing words and emotions is a basic skill. He can detect from the other person's micro-expression whether the other person has a bad record and whether he is committing a crime.
Of course, this is impossible for ordinary people without more than ten years of criminal police experience.
But Ma Pingan has exactly this. This is what Danwu saw in the brief eye contact.
Ma Pingan is not an ordinary person, he has everything needed for the Dragon Boat Festival.
And sure enough, Ma Ping'an came back with news within an hour of being out. There is a family in Xicheng, and no one in the family has appeared for a long time. But someone saw a stranger entering the house at night.
Neighbors said they might be relatives. But Ma Pingan felt that maybe things were not that simple. Because if relatives come to the house, the head of the household should go out and walk around. Shopping for groceries and cooking, or making drinks, taking relatives out for a walk, walking around, etc., all of which will appear frequently.
But no, the head of the household did not show up, but someone entered the house in the middle of the night.
Ma Pingan felt very suspicious, so he found a place to observe and found that there were flies flying around in the backyard, but the door of the window was closed tightly.
Ma Pingan didn't get any closer because the house had a very wide view. Once there was a spy in the house, he wouldn't be able to come back in 1989.
In addition to this place, there is another very suspicious place, which is Laojun Temple.
Ma Pingan heard that seven or eight strangers came to Laojun Temple. One of them also showed a gun.
Dragon Boat Festival analysis shows that the little devil is not that stupid to show his gun in front of others.
Of course, he couldn't let go of this clue.
He asked Daozi to take two squads from the 87th Division's Independent Battalion to Laojun Temple to capture the group of gunmen. And he and Ma Pingping went to the unusual family in the west of the city.
Ma Ping'an said with some worry: "The specific situation inside is unknown, sir, it's better to bring more people."
Duanwu said: "It's just a few Japanese invaders, we don't need so many people."
Although Dragon Boat Festival said so, there is actually no one available. Cheng Wanli and his guards were looking at the old and the young of the Kong family.
The old man and the young man are very important, and nothing should happen to them during their detention. So Dragon Boat Festival asked Cheng Wanli and his guards to strictly protect him. Because once the Japanese spies learn this news, they will definitely take action against Kong Hua and Kong Yang.
Because before, Duanwu had guessed that the little Japs sneaked into Changshu City to create chaos in addition to spying on intelligence.
The old and the young of the Kong family not only have a big family and a great business, but also have a prominent status. But the most important thing is that these two people were taken away by the military.
Therefore, if it was the Dragon Boat Festival that caused chaos, these two people would definitely start first.
To plan ahead, Dragon Boat Festival made arrangements in advance. It's just that he really doesn't have enough manpower, and recruiting soldiers needs an experienced person to do it. So there was no other way, so Duanwu asked Cheng Wanli's men to replace Cheng Wanli. Let Cheng Wanli take care of the conscription.
As for the 44th Division, Duanwu never thought about it at all.
Chen Yong may be a general, but he lacks the composure of a general.
From his expression and behavior, Danwu only saw irritability.
When he came, he immediately took away the official seal of County Magistrate Ma and wanted to drive the people out of the town. Afterwards, seeing that the people refused to leave, he put the matter aside.
Duanwu knows what Chen Yong is thinking. I have shown you the way to survive. If you don't leave on your own, don't blame me.
This idea seems right, but it is actually an act of malfeasance. If so many people died in the enemy's fire, as far as Chen Yong was concerned, it would be dereliction of duty.
But Duanwu could tell that Chen Yong was fighting this battle with a fatal determination. So there are some things that he really doesn't have to think about.
Therefore, Duanwu's evaluation of Chen Yong is that he is worthy of his reputation, loyal and brave, but not resourceful. He is impulsive and arbitrary. And not good at listening to other people's opinions.
Because just imagine, if Chen Yong had thought more and reached a consensus with County Magistrate Ma instead of snatching Magistrate Ma's official seal, the whole Changshu County would probably be in a different situation! ...
