The 216th Yichang Defensive Battle (12)
Xiao Diao Chan finally heard that Li Dazhong's words were false, and he was playing with her. He pretended to be angry and shouted to the girls: "Girls, this Instructor Li is not taking us properly, he thinks we don't understand anything!" How about playing gongs? ”
"Okay-" The girls are fine at this time, the battle is gone, and they are idle and have nowhere to go, so they are going to make fun of Li Dazhong!
Xiao Diao Chan gave a look, and the girls rushed over together, pulling their arms, pulling their legs, and picking up Li Dazhong's pants, and they were suddenly busy. This can startle Li Dazhong, if others will definitely suffer, but Li Dazhong is strong and strong, and he has practiced martial arts for many years, how can he suffer such a loss, he immediately turned over three times and doubled, struggled for a while, and finally escaped from the siege of these "fox spirits".
Seeing that this attack was repulsed again, Han Xing's heart was not at all relaxed. This is the attack of a division, that is, the 13th Division in the south, the 3rd Division in the north, and the 39th Division in the east, and they will also flock to it in a short time.
If 3 divisions and 70,000 enemy troops attacked together, the Southern Expeditionary Army and the national troops who had just arrived would definitely not be able to withstand it.
No matter how strong the city is, there are times when it is breached, not to mention that Yichang City is not strong, and it is full of flaws, and it may be broken at any moment. Han Xing is most concerned about the people of Yichang City, I don't know how to retreat or clear the field at this time?
Han Xing whispered to Zhang Xiaosan: "Battalion Commander Zhang, you hold the position first, Li Dazhong and I will go to the city to take a look, I don't know how the retreat is done." If you can't hold it, don't force it, I think Yichang City will not be able to hold it sooner or later. ”
Zhang Xiaosan was most concerned about Han Xing's safety at this time, as long as Han Xing withdrew to the back, he would be relieved. He also whispered to Han Xing: "Commander Han, Li Dazhong is protecting you, you should retreat to the rear first!" As for the attack of the little devils, the tank that was called to swim forward just now rushed like this, which also scared the little devils a lot, and they couldn't make much waves for a while. ”
Han Xing hurriedly led Li Dazhong's platoon to Yichang City to see what had become of it?
The city of Yichang was in chaos, and the local government received an order from above to quickly withdraw the people of the city from the city, leaving not a grain of grain or a straw stick for the Japanese army. So the men, women, and children of the whole city, helping the old and the young, carrying big burdens, small burdens, pushing small carts, driving big carts, moved in groups to the mountains outside the city.
Yichang City is already relatively narrow, the small streets and alleys are two meters wide, and the so-called commercial streets are three to four meters wide.
On the main commercial street, Han Xing saw a convoy blocking the road, with more than a dozen cars in front and behind, each loaded with a full load of Dengden goods, high-end mahogany furniture, fine Western-style sofas, and all kinds of antiques, there were dozens of camphor wood boxes alone, needless to say, there must be good things there.
This convoy alone occupies almost the entire street and alley, and if the common people pass by here with their children and daughters with a small baggage, they will not be able to pass at all. Moreover, there are many ordinary people, and when they hear the sound of guns and cannons outside the city, they flee out of the city in a hurry, and they all want to squeeze out, but the more they squeeze, the more they can't move, and then they can't squeeze out at all.
And the convoy was escorted by five or six police officers with guns. Han Xing saw that the escort was none other than the squad leader Li Lu of the police station, and he had dealt with him when he first entered Yichang.
Han Xing asked Li Lu: "Squad Leader Li, whose property is this?" ”
Li Lu looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered, "Report to Commander Han, this is our Captain Wu's family property." ”
"Is Captain Wu's family in business?"
"Captain Wu's family has never been in business, they are all in politics, and they have been in politics for three lifetimes."
Han Xing understood as soon as he heard it, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, China's national government is a corrupt government. Those who do business are not rich, but those who are engaged in politics are rich, and the way to get rich is self-evident. This is what a small police squadron leader is like, and if it is a higher officer, it will be even more troublesome.
As soon as he talked about corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Han Xing was angry in his heart, and he hated to bring them all to justice.
Li Lu looked at the distance and saw that there was no one else, and said to Han Xing, "There are even more powerful ones!" He pointed to another street.
Han Xing looked at Li Lu, and this Li Lu clearly had a suggestive expression. Han Xing guessed as soon as he guessed, this Li Lu obviously had the psychology of hating the rich, so he took this opportunity to give Han Xing a hint.
If you want to talk about hating the rich, Han Xing actually has it in his heart, holding the country's money, why are others not rich, but you are rich, and your wealth is not obtained by labor, it is clearly from a gray income.
A kind of psychology prompted Han Xing, so that Han Xing led Li Dazhong to another narrow alley.
When I arrived in that alley, it was even more strange, this rich man was even richer than Wu Mingming, and he hired dozens of carriages, and the servants were loading things into the carts. In addition to the high-end furniture, there are also some Western things on the car, and the boxes are even more high-end, and they also look very heavy.
Suddenly, a box fell from the carriage and broke a corner, Han Xing looked over and saw that it was from that corner that a few pieces of gold were exposed, and those gold were gold like horseshoe that I had never heard of, this may be the horseshoe gold that I had never heard of!
Han Xing asked a fleeing citizen next to him: "Uncle, who is moving?" ”
The old man glanced at Han Xing and said, "You don't know who is moving, this is County Magistrate Bai moving!" ”
Han Xing asked again: "Does the county magistrate Bai have a deal?" ”
"There is no open, there is secretly, there are several pawnshops alone." It seems that this citizen is quite an expert, and he also knows that the national government does not allow officials to do business in order to avoid officials from having the opportunity to launder money, but there is an explicit order, and how can it be banned secretly!
Han Xing felt a deep sorrow that China had a strong enemy outside the country, that Japan's military strength and economic strength had greatly surpassed that of China, and that most of China had been occupied by the Japanese army. If Yichang is occupied again, Yichang will only be 473 kilometers in a straight line from Chongqing, the capital of the Nationalist Government, and it will take more than an hour to reach it if there is an air raid. If you take a detour, it is more than 700 kilometers.
However, the most dangerous aspect of the Nationalist Government still comes from within, with the collapse of the economy, the closure of factories, corruption, and bribery, which have long been seriously corroding the body of the Nationalist Government. Bai Huoshui, Wu understands that this is almost an ordinary official, with so much unknown income, not to mention other officials.
When Han Xing saw them, he had a stomach full of hatred, but it was definitely inappropriate for him to take care of this matter, so the child cried and hugged his mother. Han Xing thought of it, and now Chen Cheng is in Yichang.
Fortunately, the city government is not far from here, and Han Xing quickly arrived at the city government and found Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng was in the office, busy mobilizing troops from all walks of life, and the phone calls were one after another, and he was very busy.
As soon as he saw Han Xing coming, he hurriedly put down the work at hand, came over to shake Han Xing's hand, and said praisefully: "I already knew, your Southern Expeditionary Army fought well, the air force, artillery, and tank troops were all dispatched, and the little devil lost his temper." ”
Han Xing didn't come to report the military situation to him, and said to him: "Commander-in-Chief Chen, now the people of the whole city are retreating, but some people in the city are unconscious and have blocked the roads. This matter has to be brought forward by your Commander-in-Chief Chen, or it can't be solved? ”
When Chen Cheng heard this, he glanced at Han Xing with hesitant eyes, which meant to say, "Do you still want me to come forward to manage the traffic?" Besides, you, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, are commanding the military on the front line, so you can also take care of things that you shouldn't be in charge of. ”
But Chen Cheng is smart, he saw that the front-line war commanded by Han Xing had already commanded well, and since he wanted to take care of the traffic by himself, he must have a reason.
"Who blocked the road?" Chen Cheng asked.
Han Xing wanted his words, and hurriedly said: "One is the squadron leader of the Wu Ming Police Station, and his more than a dozen big cars blocked the road in front of his house, delaying the retreat of the common people. There is also Mayor Bai Huoshui, dozens of his carriages have blocked the road, and the people can't get out for a while. ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "More than a dozen big cars that I don't understand, dozens of big cars that are in white trouble? How can they have so many things and what treasures are in the car? ”
Han Xing could only say: "Wu Ming's carriage didn't see it clearly, but Bai Huoshui's carriage broke a box, and the box was full of horseshoe gold. ”
"Horseshoe gold......" Chen Cheng frowned deeply when he heard these words, a small mayor of Yichang actually had boxes of horseshoe gold, this problem is serious, "Commander Han, if you want to say that, no matter how busy I am, I have to look at this matter." Let's-"
He greeted and walked out of the office with a few guards and staff officers.
He first took Han Xing and these people to Bai Huoshui's carriage, and he was annoyed at first glance, dozens of big carts blocked the narrow road tightly, not to mention that the common people fled with big burdens and small burdens, just if these carriages go, they have to be cautious, and if they don't get it right, they will hit the house next to them.
There are even some people from the police station, who are pretending to be tigers and tigers, escorting Bai Huoshui's horse team.
Chen Cheng sighed deeply and said: "This is called fighting with the people, as a mayor, it shouldn't be!" ”
As soon as Bai Huoshui saw that Commander-in-Chief Chen Cheng had arrived in person, and there was a former enemy commander-in-chief of Han Xing standing next to him, he had a premonition that the situation was not good, he hurriedly ran over with his head bowed, first nodded flatteringly to Han Xing, and then said with a smile on Chen Cheng's face:
"Why is Commander-in-Chief Chen here, I originally wanted to invite Commander-in-Chief Chen to the cold house to sit and have a cup of tea, but now that the house has been emptied, if you want to sit, there is no place to sit."
He said to the servant again: "Come on, move a seat for Commander-in-Chief Chen, and let Commander-in-Chief Chen rest for a while." ”
