Faced with Chen Yong's storm of complaints, Duanwu didn't find it strange.
Although Chen Yong is loyal and brave, he lacks resourcefulness.
This was evident from the first contact with Chen Yong in Dragon Boat Festival.
However, in this case, why would the Chief Executive Department still place Chen Yong in such an important place?
One word 'brave'.
What the chief officials want is the word "brave", because without this word, no one would dare to stick to Changshu at this time.
And just like the battle at Sihang Warehouse, the entire 44th Division defended for two days, and only a few people were able to return alive in the end.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call the 44th Division an abandoned son. If you don't have some courage, I'm afraid no one can hold on. And this is why Chen Yongshou is here.
Of course, Chen Yong is not without any resourcefulness, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the position of division commander just by using the word "brave". What's more, there is a resourceful Consultant Xiao by his side.
Staff Officer Xiao felt that offending the special commissioner at this time would be detrimental to the 44th Division. So he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Commissioner, don't be offended. This is all caused by the bombing of the arsenal. Our division commander is not blaming you, but nowadays, the morale of the army is slack, and our division commander is also having a huge headache!"
As he said that, Staff Officer Xiao winked at Chen Yong.
Seeing this, Chen Yong quickly changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, Commissioner, I shouldn't have been angry at you just now."
Chen Yong had so much trust in this Consultant Xiao. With just one look from Officer Xiao, he could suppress his anger and change his mind in an instant.
But to put it bluntly, without such a consultant Xiao to assist Chen Yong, how could Chen Yong be where he is today?
At the same time, Duanwu chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, whenever someone encounters this kind of thing, they will do something that doesn't mean what they say."
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival gave Chen Yong a step down, otherwise they would really be at odds with each other, and how could Changshu City be defended.
Duanwu said: "Let me show you these things first. Japanese spies don't lurk in our Changshu City for a day."
With that said, Duanwu took out the physical evidence he had collected. An exquisite hand-drawn map of Changshu. A broken, burnt fragment of the map. There are also classified files with munitions quantities.
"This is, this is our account book for transporting arms. Where did you find it?"
Officer Xiao was shocked at this time, because he had been doing these things. Although he only saw a few burnt pages, he was already sure that this was their account book for transporting arms.
"I found it in the Sun's Watch Shop in the city. The owner, Boss Sun, was a spy. And I found this map in a courtyard in the west of the city. I killed seven spies there. And the head of the household, a family, He was killed three days ago."
Duanwu explained, but at this time, Chen Yong said with great anger: "Grandma, it turns out that the little devil has been lurking spies in Changshu for a long time?"
Duanwu said: "Yes, this Boss Sun was already lurking in Changshu three years ago. Therefore, the disadvantage we suffered in fighting the Japanese army was that we were passive.
After the Japanese army captured Northeast China and North China, we still didn't wake up. No one thought that the Japanese would continue to invade south. It was considered a peaceful and prosperous time.
There was no precaution against the Japanese army and turned a deaf ear to the Japanese infiltration. Not even the slightest desire to regain the lost ground.
Therefore, as soldiers, we not only have to taste the bitter fruit today, but we are also responsible for it! "
At this time, after hearing this, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao felt ashamed.
Although it cannot be said that the Chinese team was not unprepared. But no one has thought about regaining the lost territory, and as for attacking the little Japanese homeland, no one has thought about it.
So as Tong Duanwu said, complacency with the status quo is the real reason for the defeat of the National People's Congress in China.
He turned a blind eye to the territory occupied by the Japanese invaders and failed to effectively penetrate the most important intelligence department of the Japanese army. Often when the Japanese troops came, the Chinese troops still didn't know what was going on.
As for regaining the lost territory and fighting against the Japanese, no one thought about it. In their eyes, Japan is powerful and invincible.
Cowardice on the frontal battlefield, insufficient intelligence, fear of the Japanese army, coupled with numerous factions and a mixture of good and bad, and other factors, were the root causes of the great defeat.
Therefore, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao had to feel ashamed about Dragon Boat Festival's words. Although they have tried their best to fight the Japanese, there are gaps in military strength, intelligence, and soldier quality. It cannot be healed in just a few days or even a few months.
The reason is lack of preparation. There was no intention of going to war with the Japanese army at all. Coupled with the mutual discord between factions, the good and bad factions rushed to flee, which resulted in the current situation.
But at this point, it is useless to discuss these issues. Dragon Boat Festival ordered Chen Yong to be the first to eliminate spies and spies in the army. Because what Staff Xiao said just now, there are only a few people who have access to those important account books.
In other words, there was a traitor among the senior leaders of the 44th Division. This man must be found, otherwise he will be like a time bomb for the 44th Division.
And secondly, tell the entire division that the weapon depot exploded just to paralyze the Japanese army. And just outside the city, they have a large number of reinforcements coming, so that they can 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 had transported some weapons and ammunition to the front line earlier. So we can still hold on to this battle. As for whether you can persist for two days, you can only rely on luck.
Of course, they would never have imagined how crazy Dragon Boat Festival's battle plan was. Because the Dragon Boat Festival has always had the ultimate goal of destroying enemy soldiers. Continuously consuming the little devil's troops and causing the little devil to weaken rapidly is the key to winning or losing this war!
"Report, a large number of Japanese troops were spotted outside the city approaching."
At this moment, a signal soldier came to report.
Chen Yong and Officer Xiao looked at Dragon Boat Festival at the same time. Perhaps they wanted to hear the commissioner's opinion and see if this young officer could shoulder this responsibility.
Duanwu said without hesitation: "Even if the Japanese army reaches the city, they will not attack the city immediately. The top priority is to find the spies and spies. The city will be built like a copper wall and an iron wall."
The enemy didn't know the situation in the city, so they didn't dare to take action rashly, which bought us time.
In addition, stabilizing military morale must also be carried out at the same time.
In this way, Counselor Xiao, you are responsible for finding this spy. Commander 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 during the evacuation of the people. "
"This is impossible. There are no more spare weapons in the city."
Chen Yong shook his head, and at this time, even Staff 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 our soldiers now, so what can we use to arm those refugees? "
