After waiting for no more than ten minutes, the train whistle sounded, and a large amount of steam appeared in front like a thick fog, covering the hanging window. Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting in his seat, felt the train shake slightly and then gradually move forward.
Zhou Weiguo looked out through the hanging window. The station was gradually moving away, and eventually the densely packed houses were gradually moving away. In the end, only the green trees on both sides of the railway track and the busy houses that appeared not far away from time to time were left.
of people.
Feeling tired and not wanting to watch anymore, Zhou Weiguo took off his general's hat and put it on his head to rest.
He knew in his heart that once he arrived at the battlefield, it was absolutely impossible to have a peaceful rest.
The speed of the train is very slow. Even if there is no obstruction along the way, the speed of the train is still slow.
The train could not move forward because it would be easily bombed by Japanese aviation. The train finally stopped slowly at Nanxiang Station.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Weiguo was the first to jump out of the car. He didn't care about the row of yellowing green trees outside the station. Instead, he looked at the open door and shouted loudly: "Get off the car quickly, gather immediately, light machine guns."
Control the commanding heights and beware of sneak attacks by Japanese bombers."
Regardless of whether the Japanese army comes or not, we must take precautions to prevent any eventuality.
Although the idea of using a light machine gun to deal with Japanese aircraft is a bit ridiculous, it can somewhat prevent Japanese aircraft from flying too low and shooting at low altitudes.
Under the command of Zhou Weiguo, the machine gunners quickly controlled the surrounding commanding heights. When he saw a train of soldiers getting off the train and gathering to set off, Zhou Weiguo issued an order for the machine gunners to withdraw and follow the division headquarters toward Shanghai on a rapid march.
Shanghai has already been reduced to a mess. The few German armorers who invested in the early stage and the 18th Army did not know how many waves of people were replaced.
The closer we get to the suburbs, the more trucks transporting the wounded. Along the way, in addition to the advancing pace of the army, there are also the sounds of cars transporting the wounded to the rear from time to time, as well as the painful cursing and wailing of the wounded in the vehicles.
The sound of roaring artillery and gunshots could already be heard. The guard company of the division headquarters dispersed intentionally or unintentionally to protect several important figures in the division headquarters.
The special agent battalion is a combat force, not responsible for protecting the safety of the division, but as a support or reserve force, that is, a reserve mobile team.
To put it bluntly, if you don't go to the battlefield, you won't go to the battlefield. Once you go to the battlefield, you have to give the Japanese army a headache and give the Japanese army a blow in the head.
It's a mobile team, but it's also a death squad.
But one thing is certain, weapons and equipment are indispensable, food and drink are indispensable, take care of them and work hard to build them.
After the 58th Division entered Shanghai, it was arranged by Shangfeng to set up defenses on the south bank of Yunzaobang to prevent the Japanese army from threatening the flank security of the army. However, the 51st Division, which arrived in advance, was in Luodian.
On September 1st, the unit designation came down. The 51st Division and the 58th Division merged to form the 74th Army.
Because on the battlefield, there was no military ceremony. After all, the troops of the two divisions were fighting against the Japanese army, so there was no time for such hypocrisy.
The special agent battalion was not on the front line, but relied closely on the division headquarters and waited for orders.
The artillery fire roared in front, but it was eerily quiet here.
Zhou Weiguo waited for orders for support in his secluded battalion headquarters, which was covered with tree branches.
However, within two days, no orders were sent from the division headquarters.
This actually caused several company commanders to rush to Zhou Weiguo. Hu Yong pointed at the battlefield ahead with widened eyes: "Battalion Commander, what do you mean by division headquarters? The brothers in the front are fighting fiercely. We are right here."
What a joke, we came all the way from Hubei to this place, are we just sitting on the bench?"
Standing on the bench?, Zhou Weiguo, who was turning the pen in his hand, raised his head. He thought Hu Yong's explanation was inappropriate. But he couldn't find any reason to convince him.
Zhou Jin on the side tugged: "Nonsense, we are a spy camp. As the saying goes, good luck is only used on the edge of the knife. We have to be at the critical moment..."
"What's more important is the hammer. The third battalion went up there and hammered it out in two hours yesterday. It's still important. I'm afraid it would be embarrassing if we didn't even go up after the previous ones were finished." Hu Yong raised his neck and looked at Zhou Jin, interrupting Zhou Jin's words.
.
The third battalion went up at noon yesterday. There were more than 500 people in each battalion, and only about 50 came down. The guns were all picked up by the servants like dry firewood. Nearly 400 people were picked up in less than two hours.
Even though the light was gone, the battalion commander didn't even evacuate.
Zhou Weiguo only found out the news when it was dark. He knew that there would not be a few people who went up to the third battalion and were completely wiped out like this. It was even possible for the entire regiment to be completely wiped out on the battlefield.
"Why are you yelling at me? I also want to fight the Japanese army, but the problem is that I didn't receive the order. Why are you yelling at me?"
Zhou Jin would not let Hu Yong, a big fool like him, Zhou Weiguo folded his arms and watched the quarrel between the two people with interest. After a long time, he knocked and built it with five or six ammunition boxes and simply laid it on top.
A piece of green cloth serves as the top of the desk; "What's the fuss about? One more day is just one more day to live."
If you can go there for one day at night, you can live one more day. If you can't go up to this battlefield, don't think about coming back alive. This includes yourself. Maybe the two of them are arguing here today, but tomorrow they will have to be separated by yin and yang.
snort……
The two were convinced by Zhou Weiguo, but they still snorted unconvinced and did not look at each other.
The camp suddenly fell silent, with only the occasional sound of cannons from the front ringing in their ears, and the neighing of horses outside making a few people turn their heads slightly.
The messenger from the division headquarters jumped off the black horse and ran quickly to Zhou Weiguo; "Batalion Commander Zhou, the division headquarters ordered that the special agent battalion quickly take over the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 541st Regiment."
"The Second Battalion has also been lighted." After hearing the order from the ordering soldier, Hu Yong's eyes widened. His eyes revealed disbelief and then pointed in the direction of the Second Battalion; "They... they were more than an hour ago.
He just went up there. He was pulling a horse. How powerful are the Japanese troops?"
The messenger lowered his head and said nothing, but sadness that could not be concealed appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to the messenger, stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Tell the division commander that our special agent battalion will set off in fifteen minutes. Please rest assured, division commander, that with our special agent battalion here, other Japanese troops will not want to pass there."
Perhaps because he had received heavy casualties, the ordering soldier did not salute as usual, but nodded heavily, turned around and rode away.
Listening to the sound of horses disappearing, Zhou Weiguo crossed his arms on his belt and looked up at his four company commanders: "Here we come, it's our turn."
Several people were silent, just looking at Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo pointed at Zhou Jin: "Assemble the troops, I have something to say, go quickly." Watching Zhou Jin go away, Zhou Weiguo looked serious, lowered his head in thought, raised his eyes and pointed at Hu
