"I'll join! Can you share more food? My family has a large population?"
"Can!"
"If I join, I'm not afraid of death. Can I get an extra piece of ocean?"
"Okay, I'll give you two more!"
"Commissioner, there are so many people joining the army, are there any places left?"
"The lower limit is one hundred, and there is no upper limit. The more people who join the army, the better. Those who have guns will use guns, and those who do not have guns will use knives. And you have only one purpose, which is to escort the Kong family and your relatives to Nanjing City to avoid this
There is a war."
"Special Commissioner, do we need to remain soldiers?"
"When you arrive in Nanjing, those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers can join the army nearby. Those who are unwilling to serve as soldiers can be disbanded on the spot.
You have only one mission, which is to protect your family and the Kong family who gave you food, and go to Nanjing together!"
"well"
At this moment, the people in all the refugee camps shouted in unison. In less than five minutes, a team of more than 280 people was pulled up. At the same time, people from other refugee camps were marching towards
Run here.
Because there are only five minutes left for the final deadline for conscription. After five minutes, conscription will stop. At that time, not to mention getting more food, you will also have to look at other people's faces when you leave.
Because those who join the army can legitimately protect their families in the middle of the team. Others can only follow the team. Therefore, people who sign up to join the army are very enthusiastic.
Duanwu retreated at this time because he still had many things to do. The first thing he had to do was to appease Cheng Wanli.
Cheng Wanli was in an empty house, and his men were applying medicine to the wound on his back.
The whiplash was very serious, and much of the skin was broken. When applying the medicine, Cheng Wanli made a low sound of pain.
So at this time, when they saw Duan Wu coming in, all the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion glared angrily, and one of them even stood in front of Duan Wu.
Duanwu kept his warm smile and looked at Cheng Wanli.
At this time, Cheng Wanli shouted: "Get out of the way, what are you doing blocking the road?"
"Brother, you have suffered."
As Duanwu said, he handed Cheng Wanli a cigarette with a smile and lit it for him.
Cheng Wanli cursed: "Grandma, you are so evil. They didn't even listen to what I just said. As soon as you came here, after just a few words, they were so eager to join the army."
Duanwu said flatteringly: "It's not all thanks to Brother Cheng's trick. Your image of a soldier is like a soldering iron deeply burned into their hearts. That's why they enthusiastically joined the army."
"Hmph, please stop flattering me. I deserve this beating. I thought I could complete the task very well, but I didn't want it to turn into what it is now. Thanks to you for turning the tide. Otherwise, I don't know how to transfer the people.
How long? By the way, the explosion just now?"
Cheng Wanli suddenly remembered something at this time, which was the earth-shattering explosion just now. He thought there was an explosion somewhere, and it was very serious. But the people in the shelter were panicked, and he couldn't leave, so what happened?
He didn't know.
Duanwu said: "The arsenal of the 44th Division was blown up by the Japanese."
Cheng Wanli was shocked: "Ah? The arsenal was bombed? Then we should block the news immediately?"
"It's useless. No one will notice such a loud explosion. What's more, I think the Japanese responsible for the explosion should have escaped. So it can't be concealed. It's better for us to do this, this,
And then again,..."
At the Dragon Boat Festival, he whispered a few words into Cheng Wanli's ear.
Cheng Wanli gave a thumbs up and praised: "Wonderful!"
Duanwu thanked you again and said: "Brother, I have suffered a lot. It's because I can't help you. When we have time, we brothers, let's have a good drink."
Cheng Wanli said: "Brother Duanwu, you are so polite. With your current status, I call you brother, and I am doing you a favor."
"No, my family doesn't speak the same language. I still have to go to the 44th Division headquarters. If my brother feels uncomfortable, go to the hospital immediately."
"It's a small injury, it's okay. This is the golden sore medicine prepared by my Eighty-seventh Master. It stops bleeding, relieves pain, and reduces inflammation. This injury will be healed in a day."
"Okay then, farewell!"
Duanwu said goodbye, left the house, and rushed to the headquarters of the 44th Division together with the guards of the 44th Division.
At this time, one of Cheng Wanli's subordinates said: "Yingzuo, this Dragon Boat Festival, slapped a sweet date, is this treating our independent camp like a monkey?"
"Fart. This is a bitter trick between me and the Dragon Boat Festival brothers. You are a bunch of idiots who can't see anything. Grandma, you beat me so hard. I asked you to use force, but you beat me to death? I will beat you to death after a while.
You two whip, let you also have a taste of what this feels like."
Cheng Wanli scolded loudly, but several officers smiled in apology. Originally, they only wanted to show their loyalty when Cheng Wanli was beaten. Without saying a word, they slapped the horse's hoof.
A few boys called themselves idiots repeatedly, and then they managed to get this matter over with.
At the same time, there was a brief chaos in the city.
The explosion of the 44th Division's arsenal, coupled with the continuous gunshots in the city, made the people in Changshu finally feel in danger.
But the most important thing is that they received the news that the Kong family was packing their things and leaving Changshu. And the news that the army was recruiting people to escort the Kong family to Nanjing also spread.
Of course, Magistrate Ma’s push was indispensable for this. Otherwise, how could the news spread so quickly? In less than half an hour, almost everyone in Changshu City knew about it. Almost every household was here
Pack food and important gold and silver items.
At this moment, Duanwu arrived at the headquarters of the 44th Division.
As soon as Duanwu entered the door, he said: "Old Chen, immediately give an order to all your troops and tell them that the chaos in the city is to paralyze the enemy. The people can be chaotic, but the military morale cannot be chaotic."
"snort!"
Chen Yong, who was getting angry, snorted coldly and didn't even say anything. Because in his heart, he always believed that the chaos in Changshu was all because of the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival. If the Dragon Boat Festival hadn't arrived, he would have forced people to open the city gate.
There will be spies sneaking in.
Without spies sneaking in, the arsenal would not explode. And if the arsenal did not explode, the people would not panic, and the troops would not be in the chaotic situation they are today.
The more Chen Yong thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped the table and shouted:
"Special Commissioner, if it weren't for your insistence, there would not be such a chaotic situation. The arsenal of our 44th Division would not explode. Now there is no arsenal, and the news of the arsenal explosion is spreading all over the city. The military morale is now
How can we not be distracted? How do you expect me to defend Changshu?..."
