Glorious Mission 1937

() "You are all well-known old men in the local county, and I am very relieved to let you serve as the county magistrate, but there are some things that I still need to explain to you in advance. As far as the national anti-Japanese situation is concerned, the Japanese army is in a difficult position. Absolute offensive state, and our army is in such a situation of constantly retreating, so the situation of the enemy is strong and we are weak has not been adjusted, so you county heads, especially the county heads of these counties that may become enemy-occupied areas at any time Guys, your responsibilities are extraordinary." After taking a sip of tea from a white porcelain teacup on the table, Chen Feng continued: "County Feng, County Magistrate Li, and County Magistrate Ma have been working with this army commander for a while. Well, they all know the rules of this army commander, that is, any order given by this army commander must be obeyed unconditionally, if you fail to do so, the consequences will be very serious."

"This time the Japanese army aggressively attacked our defense area, wantonly massacring the old, weak, women and children in our defense area, and the beasts were completely exposed. In this battle, our policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness has exerted great power. Although the Japanese army occupied us The county towns and main towns, but we can't find our people, so they can't raise a drop of food and supplies in our defense zone. All the materials have to be dispatched from the rear, which creates an invisible threat to the Japanese army's logistics department. It put a lot of pressure on us, but it also created many opportunities for our army."

"So in the next work, you have to do the following things well: first, all counties should intensify the work of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, and strive to find spare gathering places for the people in each village in the shortest possible time. Second, organize Manpower and material resources to carry out a population survey of each county and township, the permanent population must be registered in the register, on the one hand the infiltration of the Japanese and puppet forces. Third, organize grassroots anti-Japanese forces and form county brigades under the leadership of the county government. The county brigades in each county are Battalion-level military units. Each township forms a district squad, which is a company-level military unit. Each village organizes a militia squad, which is a squadron-level military unit. Fourth, organize production and accumulate material strength. Resistance to Japan is not a matter of overnight. It may be a matter of ten or eight years, or it may be decades, so we must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. Therefore, you county magistrates need to hurry up and organize production. Now is the slack season, and you can organize villagers to build city defenses Fortifications and air-raid shelters, and women can also be organized to produce military uniforms and shoes and socks for the troops.”

........

Since it was a time of war, no matter it was a military meeting or a government affairs meeting, all efforts were made to be concise. Therefore, although the government affairs meeting only lasted for less than an hour and a half, Chen Feng assigned more than a dozen tasks in a row, ranging from the collection of money and food to the census.Chen Feng needs to control the entire defense zone in the shortest possible time.

The news from the south was getting worse and worse, and Chen Feng's mood was getting heavier and heavier. Although he was no longer as manic and restless as before, his livid face still made everyone feel suffocated.

Datong City. In the office.

The bright light couldn't illuminate Chen Feng's gloomy heart. Looking at Hua Dazuo across the desk, Chen Feng asked in a deep voice, "Any news?"

"Well, this morning, the troops in Nanjing city clearly issued a report, refusing to surrender to the Japanese army. The Japanese army then launched a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate, the third peak of Zijin Mountain and other positions. The battle was extremely fierce." Hua Rong Shen Sheng said.

Chen Feng was silent for a while, even though he fought very well in the north, he held the Pingsui line, stopped the Japanese army's iron hooves at the east of Xinghe in Tianzhen, and severely damaged the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia.However, the inertia of history cannot be reversed so easily. The defense of Nanjing is still the same as in history, without any change.

Such a result is unacceptable to Chen Feng, it means that the Japanese army will completely occupy Nanjing in two days, and then brutally slaughter more than 30 Chinese civilians in the next six weeks.

Chen Feng knew very well that December 12th was just the beginning. Although it was impossible for the Japanese army to attack Nanjing City today, because the Fukuo position had basically been lost, the Japanese army in the south of Nanjing City would directly attack the city wall.Subsequently, the Garrison Command will urgently order the 10th Division of the 83rd Army to reinforce the defense of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen city walls, and rush to build preparatory fortifications for street fighting at various points in the city. Ji was transferred into the city and deployed in Zhongshan Gate and Xuanwu Gate to build fortifications and prepare for street fighting.

Then the veteran will give the order to retreat, and Tang Shengzhi, the commander of Nanjing City Defense, will lead a group of senior officers to retreat first, leaving behind 10,000+ troops in chaos.

Even though he knew this, Chen Feng had nothing to do.After Hua Dazuo went out, Chen Feng sat in the office with a sad expression, thinking hard about countermeasures.

"Deng Dang Ding!" A sudden knock on the door woke Chen Feng up.

"Come in!" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

To Chen Feng's surprise, it was Yan Changxi who walked in.

"Why are you here?" Chen Feng frowned and asked.

"Why, aren't you welcome?" Yan Changxi asked back.

"No, it's just a little unexpected!" Feng Chen replied flatly.

"Are you unhappy, do you have something on your mind?" I have to say that Yan Changxi is still very careful, as soon as she entered the door, she could tell that Chen Feng had something on her mind.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't know how to deal with something." Chen Feng said.

"Can you tell me, maybe I can give you an idea." Yan Changxi said with a smile.

Chen Feng looked his fiancée up and down, and then said: "Forget it, you don't understand the military affairs, even if you say you can't solve it."

"Are you underestimating our women?" Yan Changxi said dissatisfied.

"Nothing, you women have women's affairs, so don't meddle in the army's affairs. The more you help the commander, the more busy you are. The war should have let you women go away." Chen Feng said.

"You still said no, you are clearly looking down on our women. If a foreign woman hears what you say, she will definitely criticize you."

"Why, you still know what foreign women think, have you ever seen a foreign woman?"

"Not only have I met foreign women, but I have also talked to them and lived with them for a while!" Yan Changxi giggled.

Looking at Chen Feng's puzzled expression, Yan Changxi explained: "I was sent to England by my uncle when I was 13 years old, and I got a bachelor's degree there."

"Hehe, I didn't expect Miss Yan to be a talented woman!" Chen Feng sighed sincerely.

"Then can you tell me why you are unhappy? Don't worry, I won't report you to my uncle."

Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "It's like this. Our intelligence department accidentally got an unconfirmed news that the Japanese army will carry out a bloody massacre after occupying Nanjing. were brutally killed."

"How is this possible? Nanjing is our capital, and there are millions of people living there. How could they do this..." Yan Changxi said in shock.

"Nothing is impossible. Massacres have a long history in the Japanese army. During the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army captured Lushun and robbed, massacred and raped the city for 4 days and 3 nights. More than 36 people in the city were slaughtered. Only the [-] people who buried their bodies survived. During the second Northern Expedition, Japan was afraid that once China was unified, it would not allow it to invade wantonly, so it tried its best to obstruct the progress of the Northern Expedition. Japan sent troops to Jinan in the name of protecting overseas Chinese , Qingdao, and along the Jiaoji Railway. In [-], the National Revolutionary Army conquered Jinan on May [-], and the Japanese army then sent troops to invade the Shandong Negotiation Office set up by the Chinese government on May [-], and cut off the negotiator Cai Gongshi Ears and noses were removed, and then shot to death. All the staff of the Negotiation Office were killed, and they were burned wantonly and massacred. In China, more than [-] Chinese officials and civilians were burned to death, more than [-] were injured, and more than [-] were captured. Now is the period when the Japanese army is fully invading China, do you think that once the Japanese army and wolves occupy Nanjing, they will still be able to restrain themselves?" Chen Feng said in a deep voice.

"Then...then what should we do, or we report to the camp in Wuhan, I believe Chairman Jiang will handle this matter properly." Yan Changxi said anxiously.

Chen Feng smiled bitterly and said, "What should I say? Let's not say that this news has not been confirmed yet. I may not believe it when I report it to the Chairman of the Wuhan Camp. Even if I believe it, what can he do? There are only so many troops in Nanjing, and there are no troops at all. Can't resist Ri's own attack."

"Why are you so stupid? It's your business whether you report it or not, and it's his business whether you believe it or not. Besides, you can say that you captured the secret telegrams of the Japanese army during the war, or from the mouths of senior Japanese prisoners. According to the news, you just need a plausible excuse to report what you know. I believe Chairman Jiang will not take this kind of thing as a joke. He dare not, not only himself, but anyone People don't have the guts to do this. This is going to be poked in the back for the rest of their lives. In addition, Chairman Jiang is the president of the Republic of China after all. He represents the entire Republic of China. If you can't solve the problem, it doesn't mean he can't solve it. After all, the massacre of the city This kind of thing is hated by the world, as long as there is sufficient evidence, Britain, the United States and other countries will intervene, even if they do not intervene, international public opinion will make Japan scruples." Yan Changxi analyzed.

After being reminded by Yan Changxi, Chen Feng suddenly felt enlightened. He was in a dead end. He kept thinking about how to stop Ri himself, and never thought of other ways to solve this matter.Reporting to the Kuomintang government will definitely attract all kinds of suspicions, but as Yan Changxi said, no matter whether it is Lao Jiang or other senior officials of the Kuomintang government, they dare not treat this matter as a joke. After all, it is a matter of life and death for millions of people. As long as Lao Jiang pays attention, then with the powerful intelligence gathering capabilities of the Military Command Bureau, the nasty things about Lai Ri himself will not be hidden from them at all. At that time, the veteran will definitely not let the little devil continue like this, at least not let him More than 30 people in Nanjing have become unjust souls.
