Chapter 18 Discovery
"That's right, it's me, you are...?" Ma Chao quickly searched his memory, but he was sure that he didn't know the person in front of him.

"At Wanmolin, Du Yuesheng, Mr. Du's butler, came to condolences on behalf of Mr. Du this time." Wan Molin, who was slightly bald, responded.

"Oh, Steward Wan, I don't know what you want from me." Ma Chao looked at Wan Molin, he was really confused at this moment.

"Mr. Ma, the thing is like this. A few days ago, Mr. Du received a telegram from his father. The telegram said that Mr. Ma had prepared a batch of supplies for Mr. Ma to return to China to fight against the Japanese. Accepted. Later, when the master sent someone to meet you at the pier, he realized that you had disembarked ahead of time, so he sent an order that the disciples of the Qing Gang must find you, as promised by Mr. Quan." Ma Chao was even more confused at this moment.

What is Du Yuesheng's identity, one of the three big tycoons in Shanghai, a leader of the Green Gang, a person who can make the whole Shanghai beach tremble with a cough, and Ma Chao can make him fall in love, this is like a high-level leader personally coming down to help someone It's the same as the escort of the slightly brilliant little soldiers.It was a dream come true.

"Then, Mr. Ma, can you leave me to see Mr. Du now? I think Mr. Du will be very happy to see you." Wan Molin asked after a little explanation.

"I'm sorry, Steward Wan, I failed your kindness. I still decided to stay here with these brothers. Please take me to apologize to Mr. Du. If I am still alive after this battle, then I will go to Mr. Du to apologize. " Ma Chao said apologetically to Wan Molin.

"Understood Mr. Ma, I will bring the words to Mr. Du, and we will see how Mr. Du makes a decision at that time. Later, there will be children from the Qing Gang who will come to tell you Mr. Du's decision." Wan Molin frowned slightly , feeling a little unhappy, but still decided to respect Ma Chao's wishes.

After the entire condolence group left, Ma Chao hurriedly found a relatively hidden corner to ask what was going on with the system.

This time, the system did not respond with {please explore by yourself} as usual, but gave a detailed explanation.

When he traveled to this world, his identity had already been arranged.Anyone who investigates has a follow-up.Overseas Nanyang people, graduated from the Department of Physics, University of Cambridge, UK, and returned to China after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.His father, Ma Yaozu, was a well-known patriotic overseas Chinese in the British colonies in the Nanyang region. He had a close relationship with the governor, and his family had quite a lot of property. He and Du Yuesheng in Shanghai were brothers who joined the Green Gang at the same time, and they passed through the initial difficult period with Du Yuesheng. , and then relying on the background of the Green Gang, he went to Nanyang to do business in the shipping business, and provided transportation and financial support for Du Yuesheng, who was still working hard in Shanghai.

The actual situation is this Ma Yaozu, he is a tool person with no emotion, only exists in the memory of the corresponding person, but in fact this person does not exist at all.Just play the role of the consignor and courier of the system materials.Then through some influential bigwigs in the country, they will endorse these emerging materials.

For example, if Ma Chao was in Nanjing at this time, it is very likely that Song Ziwen and others were the ones who delivered the supplies.

An hour later, Ma Chao and Xie Jinyuan came to the rooftop on the top floor to watch the Japanese troops in the distance.

"It's very wrong, Ma Chao, the little devil suffered such a big loss in the morning, and he hasn't moved at all until now. It's not their style." Xie Jinyuan was very worried.

The attack style of the Japanese army is very quick and fierce, and there are very few moments when you come and I can't get entangled.

"Yes, Commander, I'm afraid that the little devil is making some bad news again. Let's set up a few more secret whistles outside tonight to prevent the little devil from making a surprise attack." Ma Chao said.

"Well, you can arrange it later." Xie Jinyuan said.

"Regimental Commander! Battalion Commander!~" The voice came before the people arrived, and the voice was transmitted before the people in July saw it.

"Regimental Commander, Battalion Commander, please check the latest telegram from the devils that you overheard." July, who came in a hurry, handed over the telegram to Ma Chao, then turned and left.

"What did you say?" Xie Jinyuan looked at the four telegrams in Ma Chao's hand and asked curiously.

"One is to station all the troops of the Tenth Army on the spot and stop fighting. The second is to order the commander of the Tenth Army Yanagawa Hirasuke to arrive at his post within 24 hours. The third is to mobilize troops. The fourth is to let the little devil's intelligence department investigate the detailed combat situation. " Ma Chao said, frowning.

Seeing this, Xie Jinyuan asked very puzzled, what is it strange?
"Third, the situation of the troop transfer makes me very strange. Logically, shouldn't he be cleaning the battlefield at this moment and consolidating the results of the battle? Why is there such a military transfer. Go, look at the map!" Puzzled Ma Chao, who was relieved, immediately pulled Xie Jinyuan downstairs in a hurry.

In front of the map, after Ma Chao circled the corresponding position of the Japanese army according to the telegram, he was very strange.

"This formation is very strange." Xie Jinyuan, who was also confused, said.

"Yeah, this formation doesn't seem to have an offensive intention. Why does it look like a containment? What do you think?"

"Indeed, but why?"

"Yeah, why?"

At this time, a messy noise suddenly came from downstairs.

Outside the "report" door, Yang Ruifu's report came.

"Come in." Xie Jinyuan said.

"Head, I'm back." Yang Ruifu came in sweating profusely, and went straight to the teapot on the table.

"How's it going, how many people did you bring back?" Xie Jinyuan asked after Yang Ruifu drank.

"There are quite a lot of people, head, there are about 2000 people gathered." Yang Ruifu said.

"Why are there so many people?" Xie Jinyuan was shocked!

"I don't know. At the beginning, only the local security team was stopped by us. There were not many people, so they integrated on the spot and planned to bring them back at night. Then a rout came over, and then I couldn't control it, and there were more and more people, and I saw that there was no way out, so I hurried back with the first group of people who were integrated." Yang Ruifu said.

"What's the situation of the rout?" Xie Jinyuan asked.

"They all retreated in units of squads and platoons. The situation is basically the same. After being divided by the Japanese army and losing contact with the headquarters, they could only fight guerrillas on the spot and look for the headquarters. Also, they were unable to keep up with the large troops due to injuries during the retreat. They were left behind." Yang Ruifu said.

"Then how many people did you bring back? Where do you put the rest?" Xie Jinyuan asked.

"I brought back about 1000 people, and I arranged for the rest to be in the Butterfly Bay on the upper reaches of the Suzhou Creek," Yang Ruifu said.

"Okay, I know, you take a break first, and then bring people in in batches." Xie Jinyuan said.

"Understood, then I'll go down." Yang Ruifu said.

After Yang Ruifu went down, Ma Chao finally understood the reason.

Just now Ma Chao was replaying the whole incident in his mind, but he always felt that there was something he hadn't noticed. Knowing that Yang Ruifu said that those soldiers lost their command, they suddenly realized it!
After listing all the things and connecting the Japanese army telegrams in series, Ma Chao's heart suddenly became clear.
