The white dots displayed on the radar map suddenly increased.
Densely packed.
Layers upon layers.
Feeling vaguely bad.
Why are there so many people inside the fortress?
It felt like there were tens of thousands of people!
Are they all military?
Thinking too much.
They must be people who fled nearby.
"Jin Songyue."
"arrive."
"How many people are housed in the fortress?"
"More than fifty thousand."
"More than fifty thousand?"
"There may be more."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong was speechless.
So many ordinary people.
They're all crowded into the fortress, so what's the point?
If the Japanese invaders used aircraft bombing or naval artillery bombardment, there would definitely be heavy casualties!
There are not many air-raid shelters in the fortress, and they cannot accommodate so many people. Even if there are people piled on top of each other, it is impossible for them all to squeeze in.
If you stay outside, the result will be death. If the gun comes down, there may be dozens of casualties.
However, at this moment, can you expel them?
Of course it's impossible.
It's a mess outside, and it might be more dangerous to go out...
Although the Japanese invaders did not arrive, there were broken troops outside and bandits who took the opportunity to cause trouble...
"Why don't they go to Jinling?"
"this……"
"Speak directly."
"Commissioner, Jinling sent someone to intercept them and ask them to come to Jiangyin Fortress."
"Interception?"
"Commissioner, there are so many people running to Jinling that even Jinling can't accommodate them. It might be even worse if they go to Jinling."
Du Songyue told the truth.
Zhang Yong frowned and finally remained silent.
war of the Damned.
It caused so many people to be displaced.
Although Jinling is the capital of the country, it is indeed not a problem for everyone to flock to Jinling.
It is estimated that at this moment, Jinling is also in chaos. There may be millions of people pouring in, filling the streets and alleys of Jinling.
With so many foreigners, food is a problem and accommodation is a problem. Even if they sleep on the streets, there may not be enough streets to accommodate them. Without food or drink, they will definitely get up and cause trouble. At that time, the military police may take rough measures.
As a result, the refugees were uncooperative and even caused trouble in the city, setting fires, smashing things, and so on.
Of course, history books will not mention this. However, it is certain that during the Battle of Jinling, the national army did not receive much support from the common people. As a result, the army was the army and the common people were the common people. In the end, it was a mess.
well……
Don't know what to do.
When this happens, even the gods can't save it.
You can only protect yourself.
Just look at the present.
"How much food do we have?"
"About a month."
"A month?"
"If there weren't so many people coming in, it would be enough for more than half a year. But..."
Du Songyue spoke in a low tone.
If you don't accept the common people, of course there will be no food crisis.
However, in the face of war and your own people, can you refuse? Of course it is impossible.
What is the army used for? It is used to protect the people.
Others are running to the door. You refuse to accept them. What is the difference between you and the enemy? Then the people will go to the enemy.
Since you don't give me a way to live, then I won't give you a way to live either.
It's natural.
Don't talk about anything else.
So, here comes the question——
With so many people, how to avoid casualties?
I only have one month's food storage, how to increase it?
Also, how long can Jiangyin Fortress be able to hold on? It is impossible to hold on until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
The Japanese invaders will bring in all the 460mm naval guns and blow up the fortress directly.
The 203mm naval gun may be able to withstand it for a while. But forget about the 460mm naval gun. It is completely a dimensionality reduction strike.
By then, the Japanese invaders have occupied Wuhan, can they still tolerate the Jiangyin Fortress?
Sihang Warehouse may be tolerable, but Jiangyin Fortress is absolutely impossible. Therefore, this is a place of death.
Jiangyin Fortress will definitely die before Jinling. There is no if.
"I'll go take a look."
"yes."
Du Songyue took Zhang Yong to the civilian resettlement area.
This is actually the original national navy area. Now that the national navy is gone, a large area of open space has been left to temporarily accommodate the fleeing people.
Strictly speaking, this place is not actually inside the fortress because there is no protection at all.
All the weapons of the Japanese invaders can pour firepower here, causing huge casualties.
Once the Japanese invaders attack, they must be organized to hide everywhere.
Those who can drill holes drill holes. Those who can't drill holes can only lie down.
After the Japanese invaders poured out their firepower, they would probably be littered with corpses. It would be too horrible to see. I can’t even imagine it.
well……
Look around.
All of them were frightened and their expressions were dull.
In fact, they are not poor people.
It breaks my heart. It is impossible for those truly poor people to come here.
Those who can come here have some economic foundation.
He has a family, a job, and a family to take care of.
I was very surprised to see someone from the Luo family in Suzhou. His name was Luo Ning. But I didn’t know which one it corresponded to.
I found her frightened and looked very weak.
It can be concluded that she was really frightened, and so were the two girls beside her. They were so frightened that they might even lose their souls.
Alas, war...
For them, it is indeed a disaster.
Men can die on the battlefield.
But women just...
Zhang Yong walked over and gave the other party some comfort.
After all, if you take the other person's money, you have the responsibility to protect the other person's safety. This is his basic principle.
Build a reputation.
Be bigger and stronger.
When the other party saw Zhang Yong coming, there was a hint of joy in his frightened eyes. It was like a drowning man grabbing the life-saving straw.
Zhang Yong deeply suspected that if there were no other people around, she might just throw herself into his arms.
She was really frightened. She was really frightened.
Come to her side.
"Why are you here?"
"I……"
"Speak slowly. Don't be in a hurry. I'm here. Wherever I am, I'm safe."
"We encountered a rout. We..."
Zhang Yong:……
I see.
rout...
Certain armies, once out of control, are indeed very terrifying.
They are more terrifying than the enemy and more cruel than the bandits. Especially those who have just been defeated on the battlefield. Many people have distorted psychology.
One can imagine what would have happened if they had not come here.
"You take your two daughters with you..."
"They are my sisters. Not my daughters."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong tilted his head.
It turns out to be my sister! I thought she was my daughter.
Just say how could she have two such big daughters at such a young age.
"Who is Luo Ning?"
"It's me."
"oh……"
She felt a strong sense of security by Zhang Yong's side.
In the past, she felt that she was also very strong. After her husband died unexpectedly, she had been maintaining the Luo family.
However, it wasn't until the war came that she discovered that without a man's protection, she would be a lamb to be slaughtered. A few bandits and a few defeated troops could engulf them all.
"Report!"
Suddenly a staff officer arrived.
His expression was a bit solemn. It was obviously something important.
"What's up?"
"Commissioner, I have your top-secret telegram. It came from the attendant's office."
"good."
Zhang Yong reached out and took it.
It was indeed sent from the Attendant's Office. The content is quite long.
As he watched, his face became gloomy.
It turned out that many senior members of the party accused him of Zhang Yong raping women and plundering money in Suzhou...
In the telegram, Luo Ning's name was specifically mentioned. It was said that Zhang Yong had robbed Luo Ning and defiled him. He also plundered the Luo family's assets.
Party headquarters...
Elder...
A bunch of crazy dogs...
Taking the opportunity to take revenge!
Mad, it seems like you don't covet this Luoning.
When he met Luo Ning that day, Zhang Yong knew that she must have been coerced. After weighing the situation, he finally chose to surrender to him.
As a result, the other party didn't get what he wanted. So he held a grudge and complained behind his back.
Che. Shameful means.
Pass the telegram to Luo Ning at any time. She seems to be the person involved?
As a result, after reading the telegram, Luo Ning's face turned pale and she was trembling. She almost had no strength to speak.
"I really didn't. Really. I, I. I swear to God..."
"Has anyone ever coerced you before?"
"I, I..."
"Later, I was the first to get there, so they held a grudge against me and sued me in front of the commission..."
"I, I, it's really not me..."
Luo Ning's face turned pale.
In such troubled times, Zhang Yong holds the power of life and death.
He can kill everyone in the fortress. If he wants to deal with her, it will be easy.
"Forget it, do me a favor."
"you say……"
"Move to my room tonight."
"What?"
"Confirm my guilt."
"What?"
"It is true that women are raped by force. It is also true that they plunder property."
"Why?"
"In ancient times, there was a saying to avoid having great achievements that would shock the master. Just do me this favor."
"I……"
"Of course, if you do this, your reputation will be seriously damaged. You may be criticized behind your back. It's your choice! It doesn't matter if you refuse..."
"I'll go, I'll go, I..."
Luo Ning hurriedly agreed.
Between fame and survival, she chose the latter.
Because she is not the only one who has to survive, but a group of people have to survive. Including many people in the Luo family.
"You can consider it carefully..."
Zhang Yong said slowly.
In fact, this incident really hurt her a lot.
A woman's reputation is very important. Once her innocence is damaged, she will often commit suicide.
However, at this moment, everything collided.
It just so happened that he took this opportunity to prove his guilt and let Chiang Kai-shek find an excuse to "criticize" himself.
This way it's safe and doesn't make you stand out.
It just so happened that Chiang Kai-shek no longer needed awards. Instead, he made amends for his crimes and continued to be his commissioner.
He doesn't want any rewards either.
Just continue to be a specialist.
This position is sufficient.
Anyway, for this kind of thing, Chiang Kai-shek would just "criticize" and not really punish him.
Just give an explanation to the people at the party headquarters.
You see, I have severely criticized Zhang Shaolong. What else do you think?
He has made such great contributions, but I haven’t rewarded him. Are you still not satisfied? Then I’ll transfer him back to Jinling!
"Okay, that's it. You go to my room and stay. I'll fight outside."
"knew."
Luo Ning bit her lips and agreed in a low voice.
Duckweed in troubled times. Find someone she can rely on. Of course she can't miss it.
It doesn't matter if others scold her, despise her, or point fingers.
Is this her fault?
"Gone."
Zhang Yong turned and left.
Let's check out those red dots.
Surprisingly, they are not ordinary people in disguise.
They were several National Army soldiers.
The military uniforms are all half new and not old, with mud on them.
Very similar.
In other words, there is no flaw in appearance at all.
It is estimated that they also carry documents that can prove that they are soldiers of a certain unit of the national army.
Judging from their collar insignias, they are either private first class or corporal. They are very ordinary soldiers. Almost no one will notice them. There will be no special inspection.
At such a low level, even if they are spies, they cannot cause much harm. Therefore, these spies should be prepared to lurk for a long time.
Jiangyin Fortress is just their starting point.
They need to start from now, gain a foothold step by step, and then slowly advance.
As for their specific tasks, Zhang Yong doesn't know. He doesn't want to ask now.
Since you have to lurk for a long time, you must have some skills.
Just pull him out and do it.
Use their abilities to help kill the Japanese invaders. Let them kill our own people.
"What did you all do?"
"Sir, we are from the mortar squad."
"Oh, mortar."
Zhang Yong nodded and thought, this is a good career.
There is no need to face the Japanese invaders on the front line. There is not much danger. Otherwise, it is easy to die in the hands of your own people.
In the past, Japanese spies rarely lurked in the national army's combat units, because they would be killed if they really went to the battlefield.
But now that China and Japan are at full war, the situation is different.
It would be great to have the opportunity to lurk in the national army. You can report all kinds of news.
They have no access to military secrets, but they have access to officers at all levels. They can discover the weaknesses or habits of certain officers, and then use others to instigate rebellion.
The job of the Japanese invaders was specifically responsible for instigating rebellion.
Even Wang Kuiyuan, who was far away in Sichuan, had Japanese invaders responsible for instigating rebellion. You can imagine the others.
There were even Japanese invaders who were responsible for instigating rebellion against the commission's wife.
Once a spy catches his weak spot, or he has some secrets, plus money and sex, a certain officer is likely to rebel.
Starting next year, a large number of national troops will defect to the enemy. The number of puppet troops will soar.
This is definitely the result of being secretly bribed by Japanese spies. Even someone like Wang would quietly find a way to escape.
Big waves wash away the sand.
China began to undergo fission.
At the same time, the world is also undergoing great changes.
In the words of history books, conflicts are irreconcilable and can only be resolved through war...
The new pattern of the world will be born in the flames of war...
That's all nonsense.
That's all the business of big shots.
For Zhang Yong, he is just preparing to catch fish.
The flood is coming.
The fish pond collapsed.
All the big fish ran out.
If you can get it, you've earned it.
But it is also possible to drown in floods. Plug yourself into it.
So, should we dive in and catch fish?
Of course!
How can we miss the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters in the next 100 years?
"You guys, come out!"
"yes."
Several Japanese invaders pretending to be national troops came out in a hurry.
They had no weapons in their hands. Therefore, Zhang Yong was not afraid and directly incorporated them into the frontline troops.
It is dangerous to stay in Jiangyin Fortress. It is better to let him out.
Let them out and let them grow wildly. Watch quietly by yourself. Watching them kill their own people will give you perverted satisfaction.
Suddenly, a staff officer came in a hurry.
"Report! Commissioner, the Japanese Sixteenth Division is coming towards Jiangyin Fortress."
"So fast?"
Zhang Yong was quite surprised.
The 16th Japanese Division. Nakashima Jinchao.
The Japanese divisions that landed at Hangzhou Bay, together with the 18th Division, were all fresh troops.
The Japanese invaders of these two divisions were fully equipped and their morale was fanatical. They chased Zhang Yong all the way. They once entangled with Zhang Yong in Luodian, and then disappeared temporarily.
Because they were fresh troops, these two divisions had not been severely beaten by Zhang Yong.
Now, Hisao Tani is not so arrogant.
Was beaten.
There is no way, the overall situation is more important.
To cover the retreat of so many national troops, of course we dare not act recklessly.
Now, the national army has retreated. Nakajima Jinmao and I will catch up immediately. I am just about to beat you up.
"Cheng Zhigao!"
"arrive!"
"Give me a regiment!"
"yes."
Cheng Zhigao hurriedly mobilized his troops.
In fact, not all of the 103rd Division was stationed in the fortress.
Jiangyin Fortress is not big. It cannot station so many people, and it does not have that many reinforced concrete fortifications.
China lacks cement, lacks steel bars, and lacks almost everything.
In his previous life, when I saw someone mentioning the so-called Golden Decade of the Republic of China on the Internet, Zhang Yong was dubious.
However, after arriving in this era, I realized that this was nonsense. It was just some light industries, such as textiles, brewing, etc. There was absolutely no heavy industry.
There may be a cement factory, but I don't know where it is. Anyway, the Sihang Warehouse was rebuilt with imported cement.
There are also iron smelting plants, but they are all supporting arsenals.
Are there any civilian steel plants?
Haven't heard of it.
I really want to move the Tangshan steel industry in future generations.
The steel industry in Tangshan is estimated to be able to dominate the world. It is more than enough to build an aircraft carrier every day.
By the way, how much steel is produced in Tangshan area per year?
pity……
"Set off!"
"yes!"
Lead the team to leave Jiangyin Fortress.
Prepared to fight the Japanese invaders in the wild. As a result, they met Dong Lieyang and others before they had gone far.
They are withdrawing.
"There are many enemies!"
"There are many enemies!"
Dong Lieyang shouted loudly.
It is said that at least one regiment of Japanese invaders rushed up.
Now, the cavalry company led by Sun Dexi is slowing down the marching speed of the Japanese invaders. The distance is ten kilometers away.
"A unit?"
Zhang Yong was also surprised.
Are the Japanese invaders so crazy?
As a unit, dare to go straight in?
Do you dare to take risks without capturing Jiangyin Fortress?
Nakajima, I have never been beaten severely before!
