"You little monkey, why are you shouting? What old man? Am I that old?"
The chairman pretended to be angry, and if Duan Wu was not really a talent, just this title alone would be enough to kill him a hundred times.
Duan Wu apologized and said with a smile: "You are not old, you are not old, you are not old at all. You are a husband's ambition. 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 had trouble speaking. He wanted to say Yushan, 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, we have few delegates, so we have to get active. Let the Japanese run into obstacles at every turn, and only then 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 is this war about? It is about attrition. We must continue to consume the well-trained soldiers of the Japanese army. Kill them until they are exhausted. The Japanese attack trend will slow down. Do you think this is true?"
The Chairman fell into deep thought, because although what Duan Wu said was correct, it would require a lot of his troops.
His troops were still used to deal with the Japanese. How could they all be 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, one will ebb and flow, and 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 solemnly: "Hangzi, if you want to be a special commissioner, you can be a special commissioner. If you want to mess around, then you can mess around. We have the additional soldiers you want. Weapons and ammunition.
, I will try my best to match it for you. But you have to show me the results.
I heard that there is a Chongteng detachment in Taiwan. This unit fought bravely and severely damaged many units of our army. They are no longer Chinese. Destroy them. Let those Japanese devils know the consequences of betraying this country.
, I only have this condition."
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 them disappear from the map."
"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 give him so much power? When he was a fake commissioner, he dared to kill Liu Peixu. If you give him a real 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 behaves recklessly as soon as 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. Then hasn't the 79th Brigade been following him? Then let the 79th Brigade be temporarily incorporated.
The independent regiment formed a mechanized reinforced regiment of 3,000 people.
This independent group is still under your command for the time being.
By the way, this little monkey wants to fight on the move. Equip him with cars and light artillery. I want to polish a sharp sword and let the little devils know. Know that my blind compromise is not because I'm afraid of them, but because I haven't drawn it yet.
It’s time.”
"Yes, commission!"
Secretary-General Yang bowed to accept the order, and the Chairman sighed, because he had to go back to exchange views 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 still didn't leave, so he must be doing it 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.
In addition, 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 remained 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 happened.
Unable to understand, Sun Bo'an gave up and ordered his brothers to sleep. After all, fighting for days was really tiring. He, Sun Bo'an, had not 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 Mountain.
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 there is Shanghu Lake in the south of the mountain."
A good saying about "like a reflected belt".
Duanwu nodded in admiration, and then talked to Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao and said with a smile: "Yuyusan,yuyusan, I didn't expect it to be Yushan. The little devil should be making big moves here.
This place is very good. If the Japanese army takes over here, Changshu will become an isolated city. They can surround Changshu with heavy troops and launch an attack from the rear of Changshu.
And if that's the case, then our defenses will be of no use.
Our fortifications are all built towards the east. If they come around to our back, look at it. Our fortifications will be useless and all the troops will retreat in a desperate manner.
So Yushan cannot be lost. Which unit is responsible for defending Yushan now?"
Duanwu asked Chen Yong. 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 there is a brigade of the 174th Division,
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."
Duan Wu and Chen Yong, Officer Xiao said with a smile. But at this time, these two people could not 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 Dragon Boat Festival to leave.
And Dragon Boat Festival could naturally see the worries of the two people. So he left a four-character mantra to the two of them: hold on and don't let it go.
These four-character mantras are good, as long as you stick to the city fortifications and don't go out. If you little devil 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 defenses are particularly strong. Most of them are made of reinforced concrete. 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.
Therefore, what Duanwu said was correct. If they could not hold on, the Japanese army would have no choice 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 he could live, who would want 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 soon.
He looked at Dragon Boat Festival, who was lying on the sofa in the command room and fast asleep just after the explanation. In addition to some expectations, he felt heartbroken.
Duan Wu is still very young, he is not yet twenty years old. But he has 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 had been fighting against the Japanese army, and many times he would stay up for several days and nights.
He had been injured, and his injuries were serious enough to be fatal. An ordinary person would have been unable to bear it long ago and would have fallen on the hospital bed.
But during the Dragon Boat Festival, not only did they have to continue fighting, but they also had to command the independent regiment to break through the encirclement many times and forcefully fight their way out of the enemy's hinterland.
Xie Jinyuan once said to them that the tactics of the special commissioner are always 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 Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao could not completely believe this, they had witnessed with their own eyes the battle in which the 38th Regiment was completely annihilated.
It can also be said that at that time, they did not believe that Dragon Boat Festival could win this battle at all. They even considered how to shirk the blame.
Once the Dragon Boat Festival failed, he used special commissioners to give random orders, leading to defeat, and went to the military headquarters to ask for weapons, ammunition, and supplies for soldiers.
At that time, they had this mentality and carried out Duanwu's orders. After all, Duanwu was the special commissioner and he was the boss, so they had to listen.
But they were dissatisfied and kept waiting to see the 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, but they also 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 was worrying about how he could defend Changshu City with only half of the weapons and ammunition left.
But he didn't want to fight the Dragon Boat Festival, so he wiped out the 38th Regiment with a 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. He even felt that this special correspondent was really 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, Chen Yong could not leave Changshu. Because after the Independent Regiment and the 79th Brigade left, Changshu's military strength would return to its previous state. He had to hold on to Changshu and wait for the special commissioner to return.
"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 will lead 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 3,000 people, and it is true. During the battle at Sihang Warehouse, those who died were still alive.
, which adds up to 1,683 people.
I remember this number very deeply because at that time, the Japanese army's attack was very fierce. There were only 808 veterans.
People die every day, and every day is a different battle than yesterday.
But again, every day's battle is very cruel. People die one after another. There are not enough soldiers, so I can only recruit new soldiers.
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 new recruits died like this. Their death was heroic, but it was heartbreaking.
Later in the prisoner of war camp, I took in another group of prisoners of war. There were probably nearly 500 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. The rest are all dead."
When Duanwu said this, although his expression was smiling, Chen Yong and Staff Officer Xiao felt very sad when they saw it.
They had always believed that the casualties of the 44th Division were already large enough. But compared with the independent regiment of Dragon Boat Festival, they were simply insignificant.
From the formation of the entire 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? They could only hold the Dragon Boat Festival and cry silently in their hearts.
"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, and the two of them let go and watched the young commissioner drag his tired body away, heading to Shisanlipu!...
