The 74th Army's military headquarters was set up in an ancestral hall in a village on Chuzhou Road.
After crossing the river from Xiaguan, the military headquarters did not stop, but pointed to the direction of Chuzhou. After ensuring safety, Commander Yu ordered the military headquarters to stop.
He also turned on the radio to inquire about the breakout personnel of each division.
Judging from this house, this should be a wealthy family, or it should be a landlord, but it is a stingy landlord.
A large amount of the outer layer of the earthen wall fell off, exposing the earthy gray bricks inside.
The whole house was empty. When I came here, there were only some chairs and benches lying on the ground. It must be that the people here got the news that the Japanese army entered Jinling and had already evacuated.
Now the chaos here has quickly become clearer with the help of military guards.
The ticking sound of the radio station from the side room rushed to the eardrums. In the commander's office, which used a square table as an office, Commander Yu stood in front of the map with a cigarette in his mouth and looked towards Jinling with a calm face and said nothing.
There was even a trace of tears in his eyes.
The Japanese army had more than 30,000 people, but less than 10,000 people. This makes a man with a strong heart feel sad now.
If more than 30,000 athletes died fighting the Japanese army, he would never shed a single tear.
However, most of these people were killed by their own people and bombers during the evacuation. How could he not feel distressed.
Next to him, Commander Wang, who had met yesterday, also looked aggrieved. Everyone could see that the two of them were cowards for this battle.
The sound of footsteps made the two of them turn around slightly and looked at the telecommunications director. Commander Yu asked, "Have you contacted the special agent group?"
Both divisions have been contacted. Now, only the special agent group is left. He can only hope that the special agent group can bring him some good news and that Zhou Weiguo can bring some people back to him.
"Commander, not yet. Their radio stations have been silent since the evacuation order was issued." The telecommunications director's response made Commander Yu wave his hand; "Keep calling until I get through to them."
Commander Wang came to Commander Yu, and he had a bad feeling.
After the garrison meeting ended, the army was in chaos. The secret service group was at the Tutu Temple at that time. Even if he received the order to evacuate, when he arrived at Xiaguan, he might not be able to find any ferry. There were thousands of people, and it was very likely that they would
.
"Commander, do you think they will..." Commander Wang came to Commander Yu and asked tentatively.
However, when he saw Commander Yu's eyes that were as big as cow's eggs, he wriggled his lips and said, "I'm just worried."
Commander Yu waved his hand; "No, the order I gave him is to look for the right opportunity. He is a smart man. Since he can know that Jinling cannot be defended, he must have a way. Maybe they have already come, but they don't know where they are yet."
Wherever he is, I believe he can bring out the secret service group. Otherwise, I will not send him a battalion that was too late to evacuate."
At that time, a battalion was outside Shuixi Gate, and the road to Xiaguan had been blocked by defeated troops and ordinary people. He could only let them go towards the Tutu Temple and convey an order to Zhou Weiguo to find a suitable opportunity to evacuate.
"I don't believe it, he just disappeared." Commander Yu seemed to have no confidence himself and added.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside, and the two looked back. The telecommunications director ran in and said, "We have contacted them. They have crossed the river from the direction of Tangshanshui Bamboo Forest."
Hahaha……
Commander Yu walked over and took the telegram. After confirming that it was indeed Zhou Weiguo's special agent group, he typed the telegram and smiled at Commander Wang next to him, "I knew they were still alive."
Teacher Wang also looked at the telecommunications director with a smile; "Ask them how many people there are."
Hi……
The losses in this battle were heavy. How many more people could there be? It was probably only a few hundred people. But it didn't matter. As long as Zhou Weiguo was still alive, everything else didn't matter.
If the troops are lost, you can just replenish them when the time comes.
"I'm afraid there aren't many people left. This time, we suffered heavy losses. Not only did we lose a lot of supplies, but we also lost a lot of veterans. This battle..." Commander Yu said as he clenched his fist and hit the desk directly.
Shang said angrily, "I have never fought such a frustrating battle."
Who has fought again? Although the Battle of Songhu was a failure, the army was able to retreat calmly, but this time.
Damn it, it's embarrassing to be thrown into grandma's house.
"It's all the man named Tang. If he hadn't been so talkative, maybe we wouldn't have suffered such serious losses." When he thought about how few people were left in his army, he felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
I'm afraid there are many people who have the same idea as him now.
Many people did not die on the way to fight the Japanese army, but were drowned alive by the river water when crossing the river.
Commander Wang was also angry. This time he had more than 10,000 people, but very few came. All the heavy weapons were damaged, and the current soldiers only had light weapons.
This made him feel bad.
The figure shook, and the director of the Telecommunications Department came in again.
The two cursing people looked at the graceful figure of the telecommunications owner who came in without saying a word.
Finally, Commander Yu asked, "How many more people are there?"
Disappointment, he had already estimated that the loss of the special agent team this time would probably be huge.
"Commander, Commander Zhou reported that he still has more than 2,400 people."
"What? What did you say? How many more do they have?"
More than 2,400 people.
How is this possible? Why does he still have so many? Is this a lie?
All armies, divisions, and brigades suffered heavy casualties, but the secret service group actually numbered more than 2,000 people.
How did he...
"Yes, Commander. There are still more than two thousand people. Now they have all crossed the river. I asked them about their next plan."
What’s next?
Commander Yu thought for a while and came to the map and pointed to the next place; "Ask them to wait for us in Qingxi Town."
Finally they all came over.
Seeing Jiang Yue come to the shore, Zhou Weiguo hurriedly came to the riverside and stretched out his hand to pull him up. Then he looked at the wave of river water and smiled, "We have broken through the siege."
Looking at the bamboo raft that had slowly floated downstream with the river water, Jiang Yue's head, which had been working so hard these days, suddenly relaxed.
The sudden fatigue made him ignore the wet ground and sat down on it; "I now... I just want to sleep with him for three days and three nights."
There were no Japanese troops on either side, so his anxious mind was finally relieved.
Zhou Weiguo crossed his arms and looked at the bamboo forest on the other side of the river that was still swaying in the wind. He then lowered his head and looked at the cold river water next to Jiang Yueyou. "Then you go to rest. I'll wait for them here and say
Maybe they are already on their way here now, so I’m sorry for their hard work and traveling back and forth over the past few days.”
