Chapter 0246 Loyalty is commendable, lack of resourcefulness!
"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 with us, so I gave it to everyone out of kindness so that everyone could take care of each other when we left 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 recruiting troops, Cheng Wanli must do it in person.
But Dragon Boat Festival has a more important thing to do, and that is to eliminate rape.
This traitor is not a traitor to a traitor, but a traitor to a spy. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese spies who have sneaked into the city will be caught, so that the Japanese lose their eyes and ears.
Of course, this does not seem to be a task that can be accomplished overnight.
Because the spy was among the crowd, and there were suddenly so many people in Changshu City. How could we find this spy?
But Dragon Boat Festival has its own way, which is to find a patrol policeman who is familiar with the situation.
But an ordinary patrol officer is not suitable. This person must have certain connections and investigative capabilities.
Ma Ping'an is a person that Duanwu is very optimistic about.
In Duanwu's eyes, this person is bold and careful, and he always has a silly smile.
But Duanwu saw the disguise in this silly smile.
Duanwu didn't know exactly what Ma Ping'an was pretending to be. He might be avoiding the pursuit of his enemies, or he might be an expert who had gone into hiding, or he might have done something disgraceful.
But these are not important to the Dragon Boat Festival. What is important 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 the spy for him?
There are two reasons for this:
The first point is familiarity. As a veteran 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, old patrolman Ma Ping'an can definitely tell them apart.
The second point is my experience as a patrol policeman. As a patrol policeman, observing words and expressions is a basic skill. He can detect from the other party's micro-expression whether the other party has a criminal 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 Duanwu 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, less than an hour after Ma Pingan went out, he brought back news. There was a family in Xicheng, and no one in the family had appeared for a long time. But someone saw a stranger entering the house at night.
The neighbor said that it might be to visit relatives. But Ma Pingan felt that maybe it was not that simple. Because if relatives came from home, the head of the household should go out for a walk. Buy groceries, cook, or drink, and take relatives out for a walk.
, 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 window of the door was closed tightly.
Ma Pingan did not get any closer because the house had a very wide view. Once there was a spy in the house, he would not be able to come back in 1989.
In addition to this place, there is another very suspicious location, which is Laojun Temple.
Ma Pingan heard that seven or eight strangers came to Laojun Temple. One of them even showed his 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 lead two squads of the 87th Division's Independent Battalion to Laojun Temple to capture the group of gunmen. While he and Ma Ping'an went to that 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 Duanwu said so, there was 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 were very important and nothing could happen to them while in custody. Therefore, Duanwu asked Cheng Wanli and his guards to strictly protect them. Because once the Japanese spies learn the 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 great family, 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 be the first to start.
To plan ahead, Duanwu made arrangements in advance. However, he did not have enough manpower, and he needed an experienced person to recruit soldiers. So there was no other way, so Duanwu asked Cheng Wanli's subordinate 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 talented general, but he lacks the composure of a general.
From his expression and behavior, Duanwu only saw irritability.
When he came, he immediately took away the official seal of Magistrate Ma, and wanted to drive the people out of the town. Later, when he saw that the people would not 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 dereliction of duty. If so many people died in the enemy's fire, as far as Chen Yong is concerned, it would be dereliction of duty.
But Duanwu could tell that Chen Yong was fighting this battle with the determination to die. So there were some things that he really didn'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. He is also not good at listening to the opinions of others.
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 entire Changshu County would probably be in a different situation! ...
