"You little monkey, what are you shouting about? What kind of old man are you? Am I that old?"
The chairman pretended to be angry and said, and if Duan Wu was not really a talent, just this title alone would be enough to kill him a hundred times.
Duanwu said with a tight smile: "You are not old, you are not old, you are not old at all. You are a husband who has ambitions. If you are poor, you will be strong, and if you are old, you will be strong."
"Oh, it's a waste of time."
The chairman of the committee was almost pissed off by Dragon Boat Festival, so he stopped talking nonsense to him and asked, "What on earth do you want to do? Let me hear it."
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, he quickly said seriously: "Commissioner, when I was arresting Japanese spies, the old Japanese Colonel Yamamoto said three words before he died - 'Yuyu San'. I have been thinking about it. , what does this fish three mean?
Just now when Lao Yang mentioned the word "Yushan", I thought about whether this Yuyusan could be referring to Yushan.
At that time, the old devil was dying and could not speak clearly. He wanted to say Yu Shan, but because he didn't have enough strength, he pronounced the word "fish".
In other words, Yushan may be in danger, and I have to take people there.
Moreover, there are only a few people among us, so we have to get active. Only by letting the Japanese run into obstacles at every turn can the Wu-Fu line be impregnable.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that we can kill a large number of Japanese.
What was this war about? Fighting is consumption. We must continue to consume the Japanese army's well-trained soldiers. Kill them until they are exhausted. The Japanese's offensive trend will slow down. Do you think this is true? "
The Chairman fell into deep thought. Because what Dragon Boat Festival said is correct. But this requires consuming a lot of his troops.
His troops will also be used to deal with the enemy. How come they were all wasted on the anti-Japanese battlefield? In the Battle of Songhu, his troops suffered more than 300,000 casualties. This made the chairman a little anxious.
If he continues to fight like this, it will be difficult for him to control the situation in China.
But the Japanese were really hateful. They took advantage of him while he was fighting the Red Army and caught him off guard.
After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that what Dragon Boat Festival said still made some sense. He said in a deep voice: "Baby monkey, if you want to be a special commissioner, you can do it. If you want to mess around, then you can mess around. We have the additional soldiers you want. I will try my best to provide you with weapons and ammunition. But you have to show me results. Come.
I heard that there is a Chongteng detachment from Taiwan. This unit is very brave in combat. It severely damaged many units of our army. They are no longer Chinese, destroy them. I have only one condition to let those Japanese devils know the consequences of betraying this country. "
Duanwu chuckled and said: "Don't worry, as long as there are people with advanced weapons, let alone the Chongteng detachment. I will also make him disappear from the map of the 30th Brigade."
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
After speaking, the Chairman hung up the phone, and then ordered Secretary-General Yang: "Immediately send a telegram to all armies. This little monkey named Dragon Boat Festival is the special commissioner appointed by me personally. All armies must fully cooperate, otherwise they will be severely punished."
Secretary-General Yang said with some worry: "Commissioner, this little monkey is so capable of making trouble, why do you still give him such great power? When he was a fake special commissioner, he dared to kill Liu Peixu. If you give him a real special commissioner, those The general is still alive piece by piece?"
"··············"
The chairman was speechless and thought to himself: That's right. This guy in Duanwu is so bold. What if he acts recklessly once his telegram is issued?
"Forget it, let him continue to pretend to be a special commissioner! However, weapons and ammunition must still be provided. When it comes to personnel deployment, priority must also be given to satisfaction. Then hasn't the 79th Brigade been following him? Then let the 79th Brigade be temporarily incorporated into The independent regiment formed a mechanized reinforced regiment of 3,000 men.
This independent group is still under your command for the time being.
By the way, this little monkey wants to maneuver and equip him with a car. With light artillery. I want to polish a sharp sword and let the little devils know that my blind compromise is not because I am afraid of them, but because I haven't found the time yet. "
"Yes, commission!"
Secretary-General Yang bowed to accept the order, and the Chairman sighed, because he had to go back to exchange opinions with the British Ambassador and treat others to a meal in the evening.
It was obvious that it was already dinner time and the British Ambassador was still not leaving, so he must be just trying to get some food.
The Chairman was really disgusted, but there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, Secretary-General Yang began to allocate weapons and ammunition supplies in accordance with the chairman's wishes, and gave orders to the shelter that no one was allowed to be sent to the front line. All these people were replenished to the 88th Division Independent Regiment.
Moreover, Secretary-General Yang sent a telegram to the 44th Division, ordering the 79th Brigade of the 40th Division to be temporarily incorporated into the 88th Division Independent Regiment. The original official position and military rank remain unchanged.
When Sun Bo'an read this telegram, he was not dissatisfied. After all, he had been following his third brother.
It's just that the third brother asked them to sleep, but he didn't know what was going on.
Unable to figure it out, Sun Boan stopped thinking about it and ordered his brothers to sleep. After all, fighting for days is really tiring. He, Sun Boan, hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.
But at the same time, Dragon Boat Festival had not rested yet. He was looking at the map with Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao in the combat command room.
On the north side of Changshu, the Dragon Boat Festival found the location of Yushan.
Yushan stands alone in the plains. The main peak is 300 meters high and stretches for 6.5 kilometers. It looks like a lying cow from west to east. It faces Shanghu Lake in the south and stretches into the city in the east. In ancient times, "Ten miles of green mountains half enter the city, and Shannan Shanghu Lake Such a beautiful saying as "like a reflected belt".
Duanwu nodded in admiration, then laughed with Chen Yong and Xiao and said, "Yuyusan,yuyusan, I didn't expect it to be Yushan. The little devil should be making big moves here.
This place is very nice. If the Japanese army takes over here, Changshu will become an isolated city. They could have surrounded Changshu with heavy troops. And launched an attack from the rear of Changshu.
And if that's the case, then our defenses will have no effect.
Our fortifications are all built facing east. If they come around behind us, look at it. Our defenses will be ineffective and all troops will retreat for their lives.
Therefore, Yushan cannot be lost. Which unit is responsible for the defense in Yushan now? "
Duanwu asked Chen Yong, and Chen Yong thought for a while and said: "It's Wang Zanbin's department of the 174th Division. Their division's casualties are not small, and they are similar to our current situation. But Yushan is very high, even if the 174th Division still has a brigade. The troops should be able to hold on for a few days.”
"In a few days, there will be heavy casualties. And since Yamamoto mentioned Yushan, it will definitely not be that simple. I have to go to Yushan. Before I come back, Changshu will be handed over to your 44th Division."
"Duanwu and Chen Yong," Staff Officer Xiao said with a smile. But at this time, these two people couldn't laugh at all.
Because if Dragon Boat Festival leaves, then they will face the Japanese 30th Brigade alone. And it is very likely that there will be a large number of enemy reinforcements.
So the two of them really didn't want Duanwu to leave.
And Dragon Boat Festival can naturally see the worries of the two people. So he left a four-character mantra to the two people: hold on and never come out.
These four-character mantras are good, as long as you stick to the city defenses and don't go out. If you kid wants to get in, you should chew on these solid city fortifications first to see if you have such good teeth.
Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao thought the same thing. Changshu's fortifications are particularly strong. Most of them are built of reinforced concrete, and ordinary artillery will not do much damage to them.
For example, although the right-wing position outside Changshu experienced multiple bombings by Japanese 80mm mortars, the defenses still did not suffer any large-scale damage.
So Dragon Boat Festival is right, if they can't hold on, the Japanese army will have nothing to do for a while.
However, casualties are inevitable. Chen Yong had already fought this battle with the determination to die. But the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival gave them hope of survival.
If you can live, then who wants to die! Chen Yong hoped from the bottom of his heart that the commissioner's trip to Yushan would go smoothly, and in this way, he could come back early.
He looked at Duanwu, who was lying on the sofa in the command room and sleeping soundly just after the explanation. In addition to some expectations, there is only heartache left in my heart.
Dragon Boat Festival is still very young, he is not yet twenty years old. But he had to shoulder too many responsibilities that he should not bear at his age.
While chatting with Xie Jinyuan, Chen Yong learned how hard it was for this special correspondent who jumped up and down like a monkey.
He has been fighting against the Japanese army, often staying up for several days and nights.
He had been wounded, his injuries could have been fatal. An ordinary person could not bear it long ago and fell on the hospital bed.
But Dragon Boat Festival not only had to continue fighting, but also commanded the independent regiment to break through the encirclement many times and forcefully fight its way out of the enemy's hinterland.
Xie Jinyuan once said to them that the tactics of the special commissioners will always be beyond our imagination. His seemingly crazy moves and even impossible tactics can be realized one by one.
So in the independent regiment, many soldiers are saying: regimental command is art, legend, and myth.
Although this is the case, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao cannot completely believe it. But they witnessed the battle of annihilating the 38th Regiment with their own eyes.
It can also be said that at that time, they simply did not believe that Dragon Boat Festival could win this battle. I even considered how to dump the blame.
Once the Dragon Boat Festival battle failed, he used the special commissioner to give random instructions, leading to the defeat, and went to the military headquarters to ask for weapons and ammunition, and to supply soldiers.
At that time, they had this mentality and carried out the orders of the Dragon Boat Festival. After all, Duanwu is the special commissioner and he is the boss, so they have to listen.
But they were not convinced. Been waiting to see Dragon Boat Festival jokes.
But the Dragon Boat Festival gave them a big surprise. Not only did they completely wipe out the enemy's 38th Regiment. And solved the problem of weapons and ammunition for them.
Because before, the ammunition depot of the 44th Division was blown up by Japanese spies. Nearly half of the weapons and ammunition were lost.
Chen Yong is worrying about how he can defend Changshu City with only half of the weapons and ammunition left.
But he didn't want to miss the Dragon Boat Festival, so he wiped out the 38th Regiment with his backhand and replenished his weapons and ammunition.
Could it be said that this is not a miracle?
At this time, Chen Yong felt incredible when he thought about it. I even felt that this special correspondent was truly a miracle.
He really wanted to go to Yushan with Duanwu to see if the special commissioner would come up with any more fantastic ideas.
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Yong to leave Changshu. Because when the Independent Regiment and the 79th Brigade leave Changshu, the military strength will return to its previous state. He wanted to guard Changshu and wait for the special commissioner to come back.
"Huh...why did I fall asleep?"
Danwu was startled awake by his own snoring, or maybe he suddenly remembered something and woke up suddenly.
Chen Yong said quickly: "Commissioner, you are too tired, you need to rest."
Duanwu shook his head, because he had more important things to do.
He held Chen Yong's shoulders and said: "Old Chen, give me a car. I want to go to Shisanlipu. Then tell Lao Xie for me that at 12 o'clock at night, he led the independent group and the 79th Brigade Leave the city quietly. Soldiers are not allowed to carry any open flames or flashlights or other lighting items. If the Japanese know that a large force is leaving the city, they will immediately launch an attack on Changshu. Do you understand?"
Chen Yong asked worriedly: "Special Commissioner, where are you going?"
Duanwu said: "Your 44th Division is short of men, weapons and ammunition, and I am also short. I said that my independent regiment originally had three thousand people, and it is true. During the battle at Sihang Warehouse, those who died were still alive. , adding up to 1,683 people.
I remember this number very vividly. Because at that time, the Japanese attack was very fierce. There were only 808 original veterans.
People die every day, and every day is a different battle than yesterday.
But again, every day's battle is very cruel. People died one after another. There are not enough soldiers, so I can only recruit new ones.
Many of those new recruits had never even touched a gun.
But I had to let them go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army.
Many recruits died that way. Their deaths were heroic, but heartbreaking.
Later in the prisoner of war camp, I took in another batch of prisoners of war. There were probably nearly five hundred people!
For the 40th Division, I have integrated the two reserve battalions of the 40th Division, and now I have integrated the independent battalion of the 87th Division.
But how many people can there be now? Less than five hundred people. The rest of the people died. "
When Duanwu said this, although his expression was smiling, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao felt very sad when they saw it.
They always believed that the casualties of the 44th Division were already large enough. But compared with the independent group of Dragon Boat Festival, it pales into insignificance.
From the formation of the whole regiment to the present, there were a total of more than 3,000 strengthened regiments, but now there are less than 500 people left.
What else could they say? I can only hold the Dragon Boat Festival and cry silently in my heart.
"It's okay, people always die in wars. As long as we don't die, we have to keep fighting. I'm leaving, don't forget to wake them up at twelve o'clock at night. They are all tired!"
Duanwu patted the backs of Chen Yong and Xiao with both hands. The two of them let go and watched the young commissioner drag his tired body away to Shisanlipu! ...
