Hu Yong's smile froze instantly. Looking at Zhou Weiguo's eyes, he seemed to understand something and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, how dare I, battalion commander, when we came here, the people here had already fled, and the whole village was empty."
No one is there."
Is that so? Somewhat unconvinced, Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Hu.
Xu Hu nodded; "Yes, battalion commander. There was no one when we arrived here. Because of the strong mountain wind, Company Commander Hu ordered the soldiers to enter people's homes to avoid the cold. And we searched for a long time, and this place was wider.
, it temporarily became the battalion headquarters.”
This is reasonable. Zhou Weiguo walked to an unpainted bench under the front table and raised his hand slightly for Hu Yong and others to sit down. He asked, "I was intercepted by the Gui Army and Sichuan Army at the entrance of the village just now. Tell me."
, I have been away for a few days, how many people have you recruited for me?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Hu Yong had something to say, and his handsome face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom as he came to Zhou Weiguo: "Batalion Commander, you are really clever."
If you start to praise, I'm afraid you will gain a lot this time. Zhou Weiguo hummed to signal Hu Yong to stop flattering and get down to business.
It's true that from Hu Yong's words, Zhou Weiguo knew about his absence these past few days.
After the troops arrived in Lijiacun, Hu Yong led his people to the pipeline to grab the soldiers who had lost contact with the troops and came from Shanghai.
Not to mention, because the evacuation was too hasty, some troops did not receive the order, or were dispersed during the battle, or the soldiers who were exhausted were heading west one after another.
Hu Yong was not polite. Whether it was the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army or other Central Army forces, he all rushed into Lijia Village and replenished the spy camp that had suffered serious combat losses.
Today, the secret service camp once again has about 600 people.
However, the secret service battalions used to be all dressed in blue and gray military uniforms. Nowadays, the military uniforms can be said to be of various types, including the khaki Sichuan Army, the khaki Gui Army, and the Central Army's blue and gray uniforms like their own troops.
As for the weapons, they were even more messy and disorganized. The soldiers of the second company used Hanyang-made, Mauser, Xiali, Chinese formal and some 38-type rifles.
These problems are not a problem. As long as they go to the Wufu line to join the military headquarters, this messy beggar-like spy camp will be replaced immediately.
Zhou Weiguo hummed, took a can from Xu Hu, opened it, took a few bites, and stood up, looking at the increasingly dark sky; "Assemble the troops, we will leave Lijia Town immediately, go to the Wufu Line, and meet up with the military headquarters.
After the battle that year, Nanjing also had a premonition that sooner or later there would be a war with the Japanese army, so it spent a lot of money to build several defense fortresses west of Shanghai. It wanted to use these defense lines to fight against possible attacks on Nanjing.
Japanese army.
I have to say that the above analysis is correct, and these lines of defense are indeed put to use.
In the lower section of the defense line on the right side of Wufu Line, after the 74th Army was ordered to withdraw, it was ordered to station here and receive reinforcements and collect scattered soldiers who did not return.
The military headquarters did not directly enter the endless bunker hidden under the tombs not far away, but set it up in a private house next to the official road.
The ticking sound of the radio fluctuated with each other, resounding in the place where the dirt was piled up and used to dry firewood. The main room was still khaki with uneven walls, and the military office was filled with briefcases, document sheets and maps.
.
Commander Yu was immersed in processing the documents. When he felt someone coming in, he looked up and saw his old partner, Commander Feng of the 58th Division. He put down the documents and raised his eyes and asked, "Have you contacted the secret service camp?"
Things were so urgent at that time that I had to let the secret service battalion be responsible for covering and evacuating.
Master Feng shook his head slightly; "Not yet."
"It's strange. One of their divisions on the flank has been reorganized. Why hasn't the secret service battalion returned yet? This shouldn't be the case."
Commander Yu walked to the map and looked at the positions that blocked the Japanese army at that time. "The position that Zhou Weiguo was responsible for was mainly to defend against the Japanese army that might land from the Huangpu River and take a detour. According to the division that came back, the Japanese army did not land from anywhere.
They just encountered artillery fire, they did not encounter the main force of the Japanese army. Now where is this man?"
Commander Feng could see the worries of his old partner. He stretched out his finger to look at the military map; "They encountered attacks from two squadrons and the navy. Could it be..."
When he said this, he closed his mouth because he saw a look of indifferent anger on Commander Yu's face.
"Well, in the first battle, we fought with the Japanese army for a long time under the cover of Japanese naval guns and artillery. In the support battle of Dunwu Temple, we even had an encounter with the enemy and stormed position 113. He was fine that time. I don't believe it. I gave it to him.
If he builds a position in one day, he will be gone."
That's what he said, but the problem is that he can't contact the secret service camp at the moment. He even sent out scouts, but no trace of them was found.
If the entire army had not been wiped out, how could there be no news at all?
This is not logical.
"But the problem cannot be contacted with them. This..." Mr. Feng hesitated. There were some things he had to say, but he couldn't say them all.
Pooh……
Commander Yu spat heavily on the uneven ground made of solid loess; "I just don't believe that he will annihilate his entire army. Keep in touch with me."
The sound was a bit loud, which made several combat officers who were discussing around the sand table slightly raise their heads and look at the two officers in front of the map.
Commander Feng was just about to go to do this, but the director of the Telecommunications Department strode up to Commander Yu with a telegram in hand, saluted and handed over the telegram: "Report, a call from the 51st Division, the secret service battalion has arrived in their defense area."
With a click, Commander Yu took the telegram and looked at it. It indeed said that it was connected to Zhou Weiguo's spy camp.
Hahaha……
Commander Yu, who no longer had the bull-fighting look in his eyes, laughed twice, put down the message and pointed at the adjutant beside him: "Get the 51st Division for me."
The adjutant quickly went over, put the call through, and turned slightly to look at Commander Yu; "Commander, the call is connected."
Commander Yu stepped over and took the microphone from the adjutant: "Commander Wang, this is Yu Shiqing. Has the secret service battalion indeed arrived in your defense area?"
The response from the other side made Commander Yu smile even sweeter. He thought for a while and then said, "Very good, let them rest for a while and have a meal before heading to the military headquarters. In addition, ask Zhou Weiguo to come and see you immediately.
Me." After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and showed a worried look; "How many people are there in the secret service camp?"
