Chapter 0256 The Japanese army approaches!
Facing Chen Yong's complaints like a storm, Dragon Boat Festival didn't feel strange.
Although Chen Yong is loyal and brave, he is not smart enough.
This was seen when the Dragon Boat Festival first came into contact with Chen Yong.
However, since this is the case, why did the Chief Office still place Chen Yong in such an important place?
One word is ‘Yang’.
What the chief officials want is the word "yong", because if there is no such word, no one dares to stick to Changshu at this time.
And just like the battle in the Sihang Warehouse, the entire 44th Division defended for two days, and in the end, there would be only a few people who could go back alive.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to be called an abandoned son of the 44th Division. If there is no courage, no one will stick to it. And this is why Chen Yong is here.
Of course, Chen Yong was not smart or resourceful, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the position of commander with the word "六". What's more, there is a resourceful staff officer next to him.
Staff Xiao felt that offending the special commissioner at this time was not conducive to the 44th Division. So he quickly fought and said, "Don't be accustomed to the special commissioner, this is all caused by the bombing of the arsenal. Our division commander is not blaming you, but now the morale of the army is dispersed, and our division commander is also very troubled!"
As he said that, Staff Xiao also winked at Chen Yong.
Seeing this, Chen Yong quickly changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you just now."
Chen Yong trusted this staff member Xiao very much. With just one look, Staff member Xiao could help him suppress his fire and change his words instantly.
But that's true. If there were no such staff officer Xiao who assisted Chen Yong, how could he be today?
At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival laughed and said, "It's okay, whenever someone encounters such a thing, they will do something that is not right."
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival gave Chen Yong a step, otherwise, if the generals and ministers really had a disagreement, how could Changshu City be defended?
Dragon Boat Festival said: "Let me show you these things first. Japanese spies did not lurk in my Changshu City in one day."
As he said that, Dragon Boat Festival took out the physical evidence he collected. A delicate hand-painted map of Changshu. A broken, burnt map fragment. There are some confidential files with the number of arms.
"This is, this is the account book for us to transport arms. Where did you find it?"
At this time, Staff Xiao was shocked because he had been doing these things. Although he had only seen a few burnt broken pages, he had already confirmed that this was the account book for them to transport arms.
"I found it at the Sun family watch shop in the city. The owner of the store owner, Boss Sun, is a Japanese spy. This map was found in a courtyard house in the west of the city. I shot seven Japanese spies there. The owner of the household was killed three days ago."
The Dragon Boat Festival was explained, and at this time, Chen Yong said angrily: "Grandma, the Japanese devils have long been lurking in Changshu?"
The Dragon Boat Festival said: "Yes, this boss Sun was already lurking in Changshu three years ago. So we suffered losses in the fight against the Japanese army because of passiveness.
After the Japanese army seized the Northeast and North China, we still did not wake up, and no one thought that the Japanese would continue to invade south. They all thought it was a peaceful and prosperous era.
He was unprepared for the Japanese army and ignored the infiltration of the Japanese army. He did not have the slightest desire to regain lost land.
So, as soldiers, we must not only taste the bitter fruits of today, but also be blamed!”
At this time, when hearing this, Chen Yong and Xiao were all ashamed.
Although it cannot be said that the Chinese army is really not prepared. However, no one has ever thought about regaining lost territory, and no one has ever thought about attacking the Japanese.
So as Dragon Boat Festival said, being content with the status quo is the real reason for the great defeat of Chinese soldiers.
He ignored the territory occupied by the Japanese invaders and did not effectively infiltrate the most important intelligence departments of the Japanese army. Often when the Japanese army attacked, the Chinese army still didn't know what was going on.
As for wanting to recover lost territory and fight to the Japanese, no one has ever thought about it. In their eyes, Japan is powerful and invincible.
The cowardice on the front battlefield, insufficient intelligence, fear of the Japanese army, coupled with the large number of factions and uneven quality, are the fundamental reasons for the great defeat.
So when it comes to Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Yong and Staff Xiao had to be ashamed. Although they had tried their best to fight the Japanese, the gap in military strength, intelligence, and soldiers' quality could not be smoothed out in just a few days or even a few months.
The reason is that they are not prepared enough and have no intention of going to war with the Japanese army. In addition, the factions are undermining each other and the factions of varying quality are scrambling to escape first, which has led to the current situation.
But at this time, it was useless to discuss these issues. Dragon Boat Festival ordered Chen Yong to first eliminate Japanese spies and spies in the army. Because Staff Xiao just said that few people could contact those important accounts.
In other words, a traitor appeared in the top of the 44th Division. This person must be found, otherwise he would be like a time bomb of the 44th Division.
Second, they told all the soldiers of the division that the arsenal explosion was just to paralyze the Japanese army. And just outside the city, they had a large number of reinforcements coming, so that they would definitely fight with peace of mind.
Chen Yong believes that this is a means of deception, but so far, he has no better way.
Fortunately, Chen Yong transported some of his weapons and ammunition to the front line earlier. So he could still persist in this battle. As for whether he could last for two days, he could only make up his luck.
Of course, they would never imagine how crazy the Dragon Boat Festival’s combat plan was. Because Dragon Boat Festival has always been aiming to eliminate enemy soldiers as its ultimate goal. Continuously consuming the Japanese’s troops and causing the Japanese to weaken rapidly. This is the key to the outcome of this war!
"Reported, a large number of Japanese troops were found to be approaching outside the city."
At this moment, a correspondent soldier came to report.
Chen Yong and Staff Xiao looked at Dragon Boat Festival at the same time. They might want to listen to the opinion of the special envoy and see if the young officer can take on this responsibility.
Dragon Boat Festival said unscrupulously: "Even if the Japanese army reaches the city, they will not attack the city immediately. The most urgent task is to find Japanese spies and spies. The city is cast like a bronze wall.
The enemy did not know the situation in the city, so they did not dare to take action rashly, which bought us time.
In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the army at the same time.
In this way, you are responsible for finding out the spy. Commander Chen is responsible for stabilizing the soldiers' emotions. And I want to send the people away first. By the way, I will give them a batch of weapons to use for self-defense for the people's evacuation this time."
"This is impossible. There are no extra weapons in the city."
