Duanwu gave Sasaki a thumbs up in his heart. He didn't know what to say to delay time, but the old devil Sasaki actually gave him this opportunity.
So it's time to make a fortune by yourself, and also give Sasaki some credit.
Danwu leaned on his horse and looked at Sasaki with a smile. No matter how he looked at Sasaki, he looked like a big-headed bully.
However, this scapegoat is not so easy to deal with.
Sasaki is as cunning as a fox and vicious. If Duanwu didn't show some special skills, Sasaki wouldn't believe him.
So Danwu and Sasaki smiled and said: "Today's battle is very simple, but your intelligence department has a big problem."
"Huh?"
Sasaki pretended to be calm, but inside he was panicking.
Because he had long felt that there was a problem with his intelligence department. But he was also afraid that Duan Wu was deceiving him, so he made an ambiguous noise.
The word "嚄" means surprise.
However, when this word is used in some situations, it also means pretending not to know, putting on pretense, covering up, etc.
Of course, how could Sasaki fool Danwu with this little trick? As soon as Sasaki raised his tail, Danwu knew what he was going to do.
Therefore, Duanwu ignored Sasaki's expression at all and continued:
"Your intelligence agency has a big problem. It only investigated the garrison of Changshu, but missed me as the special correspondent.
Moreover, they were very stupid when they entered the city and instigated the people to fight against the government.
I could tell who they were at a glance, and I killed about twenty of them outside the city.
But it's not over yet. I asked people to close the city gate, and another one came to beat the dog. Except for a Japanese spy named Yamamoto Colonel, all your people are dead.
There was also a 'stinger' planted inside the 44th Division, which I also pulled out.
Of course, you would think, isn’t there another Colonel Yamamoto?
But I can tell you, tonight will be his death.
Because all the communication channels he can have with the Japanese troops outside the city have been blocked by me. He can only risk leaving the city, or seize the radio station to send you a telegram explaining the current situation in the city.
But every step he takes will be a trap set by me."
Sasaki nodded in admiration and said: "Awesome, Your Excellency Duanwu, you are indeed one of the few wise men I have seen."
Duanwu said with a smile: "I can't speak of a wise man, but it's enough to deal with you little devils."
Sasaki pretended to be calm, but he asked: "Your Excellency, you only mentioned the first point. There is a problem with our intelligence department, so there should be a second point, or a third point, right?"
Duanwu said: "Of course. I will tell you right away how the entire 38th Regiment was wiped out by me.
Your 38th Regiment is very cautious. He first dispatched a large group of soldiers to conduct fire reconnaissance in Changshu City.
There was no problem with his pre-battle formation. He chose a good commanding height.
If this commanding height is defended by a large group of soldiers, even if the entire 44th Division is dispatched, they will never be wiped out in a very short period of time."
"Why is that?"
Sasaki couldn't wait to know the answer. Because he wanted to know why his 38th Regiment was missing.
Duanwu sneered and said: "Sasaki, don't be impatient? I will tell you the whole process of how the 38th Regiment was wiped out, but it is a bit long. Do you listen?"
Duanwu said and looked at his watch, because he had already delayed Sasaki for fifteen minutes. Duanwu felt that another fifteen minutes would be enough.
But unexpectedly, Xie Jinyuan, Officer Xiao and others were much faster than he imagined.
Because just imagine, the main force of the Japanese army is coming, and the two top commanders go to hold back the Japanese. So can they not move faster?
At this time, most of the troops had entered the city, and only one-third of the soldiers had not returned yet, still cleaning the battlefield.
Xie Jinyuan estimated that the time would be about the same, because a 150mm cannon was left on the previous mountain, which was at least about two kilometers away from Changshu City.
He believed that the regiment would intercept the Japanese within the effective range of this cannon.
But it's too far away, because if the target can't be seen, Sun Shiyu can't aim and shoot.
Therefore, it can be deduced from this that the regiment should have stopped the Japanese on the winding mountain road 800 to 1,000 meters east of the cannon position.
So two kilometers, plus about one kilometer, that's about three kilometers. So this time is about the same. When the regiment rushes back, the last batch of soldiers cleaning the battlefield should also enter the city.
So, Xie Jinyuan ordered Daozi: "Go and find the group seat immediately. Remember not to put the group seat in any danger. Be smart."
"Yes, don't worry!"
After saying this, Daozi mounted his horse and galloped away.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan shouted to the soldiers at the foot of the mountain: "Brothers, hurry up, we must not put the special commissioner in any danger."
"yes!"
The soldiers responded and sped up.
At the same time, Danwu was not in a hurry at all, because he had already fooled Sasaki into lameness.
Of course, Sasaki is not a fool, and it is not easy to fool him.
But during the Dragon Boat Festival, when we make up stories, they are true and false, false and true.
To put it bluntly, fighting is a lie. If you deceive the enemy, you win. If the enemy deceives you, you lose. It's that simple.
However, although it sounds simple, it is not that simple.
Who is Sasaki? He is a human spirit. He can serve as a military adviser to the National Government. If he is really incompetent, who among the warlords and generals will take advantage of him?
So, it's easier said than done.
But Danwu has his own way to make Sasaki believe that what he says is true. Because he will speak with facts.
Duanwu said: I have always installed a huge network of agents within your Japanese army. All actions of your Japanese army are under my control. Including the one who came to attack Changshu County today is your 30th Brigade.
And I also know your marching route, as well as the specific number of people, weapons and equipment, I know everything.
"Impossible, this is simply impossible. I made the marching route of my 30th Brigade yesterday. And the only people who know about it are senior officers. There is no way you can know."
Sasaki absolutely does not believe that what Duanwu said is true. Unless his brain is rusty. Because the people meeting in his military tent are all high-level generals of the imperial army. If these people betray the empire, then who else can he
believe?
But Duanwu smiled and said: "Since you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do. But I relied on this information and carried out a scalpel-like operation against your 38th Regiment.
It can be said that if I did not know this information in advance, I would not be able to win today's battle.
Do you know what I did today?
In just one and a half hours, your 38th Regiment was completely wiped out. No one escaped, right?..."
