Liu Yangyang's plan to sell guns on the black market did not have the opportunity or time to be implemented, because before dawn the next day, someone came from the regiment headquarters. It was Liu Xi, the communications soldier of the regiment, who came to convey the message to the regiment.
"What? Even if you don't replenish our troops, why do you still need us to defend the flanking positions? Don't you even look at how many people are left in our company?" Liu Yangyang cursed angrily, but Liu Yangyang allowed Liu Yang to let him go.
Liu Xi roared at the top of his lungs and left on his bicycle without looking back.
"Company, what should we do now?" Although Xie Bo had recommended Liu Yangyang to take over his command of the second company, Liu Yangyang still habitually asked Xie Bo's idea. The position given by the regiment was on the flank.
Strictly speaking, the flanks are far away from the city of Shanghai. The Second Company now only has more than 30 people left, half of whom are wounded with limited mobility. Using such combat power to garrison a road that is not a key point is considered
Make the best use of everything.
"Since it's an order from above, we can't disobey it. We just happen to have two trucks. Bring the weapons and ammunition found in Tangcheng. All of us will go there. Although we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, it's worth it.
You can still do it by helping to load the bullets." After Xie Bo looked at the map carefully, he already had some calculations in his mind, but Liu Yangyang couldn't hide anything in his heart, so he told him his judgment now, Xie Bo
Bo was afraid that Liu Yangyang would say something accidentally and leave his mouth.
Although Liu Yangyang fought bravely, he had a rough background. He might be able to command a platoon, but he still lacked a sense of the overall situation. The order from the regiment was to ask the disabled Second Company to garrison a road that was not a key point.
According to ordinary people's thinking, the Second Company was dismissed because of being disliked, but Xie Bo was not an ordinary person. After carefully looking at the map, he determined that the order was not to banish or dislike the Second Company, but also to entrust the Second Company with important responsibilities.
The war has reached this stage. Anyone with any brains knows that the Japanese army's defeat in Shanghai is a foregone conclusion. According to the Japanese army's usual style of play, it is time to retreat. The 88th Division was the first unit to enter Shanghai, and it was also the headquarters of the national government.
Among the direct troops of the 88th Division, there were many troops that were crippled like the Second Company. The government would not just watch its direct troops being exhausted in Shanghai. Therefore, Xie Bo judged that the Second Company was assigned to garrison.
That road will not be a useless place. Once the troops begin to evacuate Shanghai, that road will inevitably become the escape route of the 88th Division, and the road node where the Second Company is stationed is the top priority.
"Stop talking, you must come with us. I will tell you the reason later." It was obvious that Tang Cheng had something to say, but Xie Bo couldn't care about him now. Maybe in Xie Bo's subconscious mind,
He deliberately wanted to prevent Tang Cheng from leaving. After receiving the order from the regiment, the rest of the second company took action. The helpless Tang Cheng couldn't stand idle and just rolled up his sleeves to help load the truck and help the wounded.
Get on the bus. In addition to the sidearms everyone brought off the battlefield and the weapons and ammunition found in the basement, the Second Company only had some food and bedding sent by Shanghai citizens. However, after half an hour of busy work, all the things and
Everyone has finished loading the car.
"Let's find a place to get some food and medicine first. If the place we go to doesn't have the conditions to get these things, what will the wounded do?" Before Liu Yangyang gave the order to set off, Tangcheng spoke first. Material supplies are to ensure the battle.
The basis for victory, this is what Robert once said to Tangcheng. Especially during positional defense battles, the replenishment of supplies is even more important. Tangcheng doesn't know where the highway node in the order is, but I heard it.
Liu Yangyang said that he had already left Shanghai, so Tang Cheng subconsciously thought that he should prepare food and necessary supplies first.
"Oh" Liu Yangyang was interrupted by Tang Cheng before he could speak, but he was not angry either. Instead, he looked at each other and Xie Bo, especially Xie Bo, was secretly happy. Tang Cheng took the initiative to help carry things and help the wounded.
Boarding the train is nothing, but what Tang Cheng said just now was for the sake of the Second Company. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, at least it is a good start, indicating that Tang Cheng has slowly begun to integrate into the Second Company.
Because he has begun to consider the problem from the perspective of Erlian.
"Tang Cheng is right. We need to prepare some supplies first. The cost of eating horse chews for dozens of people is not small. If the time comes, we will have to run out of ammunition and food and wait for others to come to support our second company." Xie Bodu.
After speaking, Liu Yangyang, who had a reluctant look on his face, could not say anything else. Under the guidance of Tang Cheng, the truck dragging black smoke at the rear galloped onto the street. It was still early in the morning, and the shops in downtown Shanghai were not open at all.
Yes, but this was not difficult for Tang Cheng, who was familiar with Shanghai. Under the guidance of Tang Cheng, the lead car driven by Nianzi drove to Zhabei District, which had been burned to ruins by fire.
"A friend of mine said this is a warehouse for storing things. I think we should be able to find what we need here." Tang Cheng familiarly led Liu Yangyang and the others to a house that had been burned beyond recognition.
Before. Although Liu Yangyang and the others were suspicious of Tang Cheng's words, they still opened the burnt black door at Tang Cheng's signal. The outside of the house had been burned to a very dilapidated state. After entering the house, Liu Yang
Goat and others found that everything had been burned to ashes.
"Don't look at me, I just know this is a warehouse, but I've never come in." Standing in the charred house, Tang Cheng spread out his watches and felt innocent, but he didn't tell lies.
Tang Hui knew that this place was also informed by Mao Wu. It was originally a warehouse where merchants stocked up. Tang Cheng didn't know that this place would also be burned down by fire. He came here just to try his luck. He had no idea about the situation in the warehouse.
Completely unaware.
Unwilling to give up, Tang Cheng rummaged through the ashes in the house to see if he could find anything that could be taken away. Nianzi put away his rifle and helped rummage through it. Unfortunately, the fire seemed to have burned it completely.
The wooden boxes inside were so burned that the original appearance could not be seen. "Well, it tastes good, and it's made from beef." Liu Yangyang picked out a box of at least black beef cans from the ashes, opened it with a bayonet and used it.
The tip of the knife cut out a lump and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Then what should we do now?" Niu Wazi asked anxiously while picking up the cans that were still edible. It was going to be dark soon, and there were soldiers everywhere in Shanghai. Liu Yangyang and the others were driving in military vehicles and wearing military uniforms.
They broke into civilian houses with weapons. Strictly speaking, they were committing open fire robbery. If they were discovered by the military police, they would be shot. What else could they do? There was nothing in this place, so they could only leave here. Liu Yangang glared at Tang Angrily.
A quick glance at the city, especially Nianzi, made me feel pained by the waste of fuel that had been detoured here.
Not having the guts to refute Liu Yangyang directly, Tang Cheng could only mutter in a low voice to vent his dissatisfaction, but he just kept silent because he was afraid that Liu Yangyang would hear him. "Let's go on the road first, we will talk about it later."
There is a way." Xie Bo, who learned about this, said with a nonchalant smile, "The order from the regiment headquarters is to rush there to take over the defense today. Don't delay things for these things. You all know the temper of the regiment leader."
After Liu Yangyang and the others entered the house, Xie Bo, who was lying in the carriage, carefully thought about the order given by the regiment. It is said that his second company had been beaten and only about 30 people were left. Guarding the retreat passage was not something he could do.
It shouldn't be handed over to the Second Company, but now the regiment has given this task to the Second Company, and this is what makes me puzzled. Although I am an officer from Huangpu, but the officer in the 524th Regiment is from Huangpu.
Not a few, the third company commander Huang Yaocheng is the regimental leader's fellow countryman, why not the third company to guard that highway node? Could it be that this task is not as simple as I imagined?
But no matter what, the order has been issued, and I, who is still commanding the second company for the time being, can only act in accordance with the orders of the regiment headquarters, otherwise I and the more than 30 brothers under me will become deserters who disobey military orders. But if I follow the orders of the regiment headquarters
Ordered to guard the highway node, the remaining 30 wounded and disabled generals are probably only in danger. Xie Bo is not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but he will not lead his brothers to die in vain, okay
Xie Bo felt a little better after finding a batch of weapons and ammunition in that dilapidated building in Tangcheng.
The second company now has a lot of men but few guns. At worst, they will catch strong men on the way to recruit temporary manpower. Isn't this how Tangcheng was dragged into fighting the Japanese army for two days and two nights a month ago? Say hello to Liu Yangyang and the others to get on the bus, thank you
Bo asked Niu Wazi to take out the map and began to teach Tangcheng how to use military maps. Military maps are different from common ordinary maps. Ordinary maps are usually traffic maps, while military maps are called topographic maps, with various landforms and landforms marked on them.
It is very detailed. It also has longitude and latitude coordinates and plane rectangular coordinates. There are also north and south indication lines of the geomagnetic field on it, which can be used conveniently with a north compass.
In addition, the mountains on ordinary maps are marked with a name at most, while the mountains on military maps are also specially marked with contour lines. The altitude of the mountains is clear, which is very suitable for making plans using terrain to coordinate operations. Robert is a local
A veteran of the military, it’s a pity that he didn’t teach Tang Cheng how to use military maps. Besides, Robert couldn’t get a military map to give to Tang Cheng. Xie Bo was obviously a very good teacher. Tang Cheng, who was exposed to military maps for the first time, didn’t know anything about it.
If he didn’t understand, Xie Bo patiently taught him how to read the map little by little.
At this time, Tang Cheng was completely immersed in what Xie Bo was teaching him. It was not difficult to master military maps. Xie Bo took advantage of the ample time to teach Tang Cheng the means of survival on the battlefield. Liu Yangang couldn't help but
I knew why Xie Bo wanted to teach Tang Cheng these things, but seeing that Xie Bo was so interested, Liu Yangyang didn't say anything to stop him, and sometimes he would also interject a word or two.
