Chapter 375: Casualty Figures

Well? Meng Shaoyuan is back? ”

"Yes, it's back."

Lin Qingquan sneered: "I heard that almost all the troops of the 802nd Regiment were killed, and the regiment commander ...... Who is that, life and death are uncertain, but he Meng Shaoyuan has returned? What is this not a deserter? As I said a long time ago, these people in the military command will not do anything good except for doing evil and extortion. ”

"Deputy Secretary-General, I'm afraid you can't say that." Shi Yifeng took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "What is the task of the military commander in the War of Resistance?" Assassinating traitors, passing information, acting as guides, guiding artillerymen, none of them say that they must assist the army in the war?

On the contrary, it has always been stipulated that special agents of the military command should try to avoid frontal combat, and I think Meng Shaoyuan can be a special agent. But this person, in Zaohama, fought side by side with the Sichuan army of the 802nd Regiment for three days, fighting bloodily, he has already done far beyond his own work, if you want me to say, he should have retired a long time ago. ”

Lin Qingquan snorted coldly in his nose.

Shi Yifeng just didn't hear it: "If you want me to say, we should sort out the relevant information and make the most severe criticism of Meng Shaoyuan." He is the deputy chief of the Military Command Operations Section and the director of the Shanghai Supervision Office, and he has more important tasks to do, so how can he regard himself as an ordinary soldier who has been on the battlefield in blood and has just died? ”

Is this harsh criticism?

Is this a change of way to reward Meng Shaoyuan?

Lin Qingquan said in a strange manner: "Brother Yifeng takes great care of Meng Shaoyuan. I heard that Minister Kong's daughter went to Nanjing for a while, and it was this Meng Shaoyuan who was waiting for Miss Kong in front of the saddle and behind the horse, could it be that Minister Kong fell in love with Meng Shaoyuan and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, so Brother Yifeng, you, are you particularly concerned? ”

"Deputy Secretary-General, let's keep it in his mouth." Shi Yifeng said slowly: "I, Shi Yifeng, am a small character, you say that I am a sycophant, but if you talk about Minister Kong behind your back, talk about Miss Kong's reputation, even if someone wants to protect you, it will be difficult." ”

Lin Qingquan really shut up.

He was bent on ridiculing Shi Yifeng just now, and he also involved Kong Xiangxi and Kong Lingyi, if he really wanted to offend the Kong family, he might not be able to protect himself in the background.

"Report, Meng Shaoyuan invited all members of the observation group to listen to the report on the work of the Shanghai District of the Military Command."

Everyone was stunned.

Meng Shaoyuan just came back.

Debriefing?

When I asked him for it for the first time, it was a military secret or something, but in short, he didn't give it.

As for the ordinary work report, he also left under the pretext of being a guide officer.

Why did you just come back from the front line and couldn't wait to report back?

"This ......" Lin Qingquan wondered in his heart: "Where to report on the work?" ”

"Right here, Meng Shaoyuan will be there in a moment."

"Oh, got it."

"One more thing."

"Say, don't spit it out."

"More than a dozen journalists have already come. It is said that they were all invited by Meng Shaoyuan. ”

"What? Reporter? Lin Qingquan's face changed when he heard this: "Blind, how important is intelligence work, what did he call reporters for?" Do you want to announce to the world, how does our intelligence front work? Bomb away, bomb away. ”

"Wait." Shi Yifeng said: "Deputy Secretary-General, stop your anger. I think Meng Shaoyuan did it deliberately. Blowing up these reporters is a trivial matter, but does this seem like we have a ghost in our hearts? Meng Shaoyuan is a person...... What if he himself talks nonsense to reporters? ”

Lin Qingquan thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Deputy Secretary-General, I think we'll go and see it first." Shi Yifeng smiled faintly: "You are from the Executive Yuan, I am from the Ministry of Finance, although I am not Meng Shaoyuan's direct governor, but I think he will still have some concerns." Who here is not an important member in all aspects? What is he, Meng Shao, who dares to show his foreign appearance in front of us? ”

"What Director Shi said is very true."

Liang Penggang, a reporter from the "Central Daily", said: "I am also a reporter, there is no need to regard reporters as beasts, according to what the deputy secretary general said, I may also leak information?" I'm also patriotic and know what to report and what not to report. ”

Lin Qingquan forgot about this person.

Moreover, Shi Yifeng's words really made him worry that Meng Shaoyuan would talk nonsense in front of reporters. After thinking about it for a while, he said stubbornly: "Then let's go and see what he Meng Shaoyuan wants to do!" ”

There are a lot of reporters of all sizes, and even the well-known "Jing Bao" on the beach in Shanghai, their editor-in-chief, Yu Daxiong, actually came in person.

The platoon commander is that big?

This Yu Daxiong's pen in his hand is never forgiving.

Lin Qingquan began to be a little worried.

In terms of military command, it was Wu Jingyi who came.

She put on a special makeup today and wore black-rimmed glasses.

And today, reporters are not allowed to bring in cameras and take pictures.

Otherwise, she was really worried about how to explain her husband if he saw a picture of herself in the newspaper.

No matter how good the makeup is, it can't be hidden from the people closest to you.

Lin Qingquan frowned: "What about your director?" ”

"Report to the Deputy Secretary-General." Wu Jingyi was polite: "Director Meng is coming, and I will first report some simple daily work to the observation team." ”

This way of reporting is simply unheard of.

Shi Yifeng looked pampered and not surprised: "Say it." ”

"Okay." Wu Jingyi took out a notebook: "Since Japan brazenly launched an attack on Shanghai, our military intelligence organization has fully engaged in the War of Resistance to defend our homeland and country, and not let an inch of land fall into the hands of the enemy.

In the early days of the Battle of Songhu, all groups, squadrons, and squads of our military intelligence organization were engaged in battle, and by the end of August, 387 agents had been killed, wounded, or missing in more than 10 days......

At the end of August, our military intelligence organization organized the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Special Forces, that is, the former armed special forces, which were fully engaged in combat in early September. A total of five detachments. Except for the fifth detachment, the remaining four detachments were all put into front-line operations. This led to a sharp increase in casualties.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Rangers were deployed along the Suzhou Creek in accordance with the plan and in cooperation with the regular army. Because of the heavy Japanese artillery fire, it was difficult for the Einsatzgruppen to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, but they still fought side by side with the regular army, and despite heavy casualties, they continued to fight.

To this day, the heroic deeds of the team members are numerous. Li Sui, the captain of the detachment, led his team to charge the enemy when the Japanese tanks were charging on the Sichuan Road, with grenades strapped all over his body and a pistol in each hand.

Later, because our artillery fire repelled the tank, he did not lose his life, but he was still seriously injured and is still in the hospital.

Mao Xun, the leader of the third detachment, led the troops to fight bravely, and did not leave the line of fire for three consecutive days and nights, his team suffered heavy losses, more than half of the casualties, and the squadron instructor also died in the battle.

After Mao Xun was wounded, he and the surviving team members hid in a pyre under a bridge, and were bombed by enemy planes. If you're interested, I can take you to see me.

Four detachments ......"

Speaking of this, Wu Jingyi paused for a moment, and then continued: "The four detachments were ordered to cover the retreat of the regular army on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, and in the battle...... All sacrificed. ”

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became solemn.

"All sacrifices?" Shi Yifeng asked in a daze.

"Yes, all sacrifices." Wu Jingyi took a deep breath: "After the war, we wanted to find someone alive, and we got our wish, and we really found one who was still alive." But on the way to the hospital, he died. Four detachments, not a single survivor. But the four detachments are still there, because, our commander has appointed a new commander! ”

There was silence all around.

Shi Yifeng's tone was a little difficult: "What about the specific casualty figures?" ”

"There's no way to count it for the time being." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "As the war continues, it has intensified, almost all of our personnel have been transferred to the front line, and even my commander, because of the lack of manpower, personally served as the guide officer of the 802nd Regiment of the Sichuan Army and went to the front line.

It's hard for the regular army, and so is it for us. In addition to our own tasks, once the regular army retreats, we must take on the task of covering as soon as possible. There will be specific casualty figures, and we have a roster for each one. What I can tell you now is that our casualties, so far, are between 1,200 and 1,500 people. Those who are injured or missing are not counted for the time being, especially those who are missing......"

Lin Qingquan muttered, "That's not much." ”

Wu Jingyi glanced at him and did not reject: "What the deputy secretary general said is that compared with the regular army that fought bloodily on the front line, the number is indeed small, but many of our intelligence officers have gone deep behind enemy lines since the beginning of the war, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. There are too few intelligence workers compared to a million troops, have you calculated the death rate? ”

Outrageous.

Meng Shaoyuan was arrogant and domineering, why were the people under his hands so arrogant? Lin Qingquan was extremely angry.

"yes." Shi Yifeng sighed: "Millions of troops are fighting in Shanghai, but what about these agents? What is their base? How much can they afford to lose? It's not easy. ”

The sentence "It's not easy" is equivalent to completely overturning the rumors that Lin Qingquan and his ilk had preached there before that the agents of the military command would only extort and do misdeeds.

Lin Qingquan's face was pale.

Wu Jingyi looked at him coldly.

These figures are true, and they were also deliberately revealed after consulting Dai Li, firstly, to smash those rumors, and secondly, to give the Japanese Special Organization an illusion:

By the time the battle had been underway, the military commanders had reached the end of their crossbows and were exhausted.

For the time being, the Japanese special organs will not know that more newly formed agents are rushing to the battlefield in Shanghai!

An agent came in and whispered a few words in Wu Jingyi's ear, and Wu Jingyi immediately perked up: "Report to the observation group, our commander has arrived." ”

Then, a person with a face and a body full of gauze was helped to the venue!
