Regarding the reconnaissance platoon leader Li Dongwei saying good things to the new battalion commander He Feiyang, the deputy battalion commander Qi Jialun and other deputy battalion commanders didn't have much good looks to say good things to him.
You must know that He Feiyang is an officer of the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, and they are among the most elite officers carefully selected from each unit under Liu Xiang's command.
Although they were dispatched by Liu Xiang for no reason and obeyed the orders of this Sichuan Army officer from another faction, it does not mean that they must be very convinced of the other party.
Every elite officer has his own arrogance and of course his own self-confidence.
Each of them felt that they were not inferior to He Feiyang, whether it was combat effectiveness or command ability.
And for these officers under Liu Xiang's elite troops, they have always looked down upon poor troops like the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army.
Although they are not rich and powerful, they are as wealthy and well-equipped as the Central Army and the Japanese Army.
However, they believed that the weapons and equipment of their troops were still better than those of the Sichuan Army's 20th Army.
Otherwise, how could Liu Xiang be the king of Sichuan?
Looking at several deputy battalion commanders who didn’t look very good-looking,
After the reconnaissance platoon leader Li Dongwei finished what he needed to say, he followed He Feiyang's instructions and left behind a squad of scouts, several SCR-300 walkie-talkies, and a telegraph machine for communication.
He took the rest of the staff and went back to report to He Feiyang again.
Because there are communications in the army, and some of these scouts are also communications soldiers, so after He Feiyang briefly taught how to operate and use the SCR-300 walkie-talkie, they also knew how to use it.
With this SCR-300 walkie-talkie, they can also contact He Feiyang at any time. Of course, if the distance is too far, then they can only communicate with the telegraph machine.
Of course, there are telephones in the Sihang Warehouse, but the problem is that they haven't moved in yet, so for the time being they can only use the communication tools provided by He Feiyang.
And at this time,
Outside the Peace Hotel where He Feiyang stayed,
Several black Mercedes-Benz cars stopped, and before the people inside the cars got out, a large group of men came over and stood respectfully in one of these cars, and there was still a leader.
The man, with a bright smile, opened the door for the car,
Then a short, fat man walked out of the car with a cold look.
"All those bastards who saved the dancer Guo Xiaoting and beat up our people live here?"
"Are you sure you stay here? This is the Peace Hotel, not something ordinary poor people can afford!"
After getting off the car, Mr. Hong asked his confidant Yan Jiayue who opened the car door for him.
"Not entirely, because there are some scattered in other high-end hotels, and most of them are high-end hotels opened by foreigners. They stay in the most expensive rooms, and the food and drink are the best in the hotel.
, and the most upscale!”
"They all know how to enjoy life. We have closely monitored their whereabouts throughout the day and night. They are eating, drinking and having fun everywhere! It feels like a group of rich second generations squandering money everywhere at a glance!"
"If we hadn't discovered that there was only one person who contributed the money, it would really be like that!"
"So we are all waiting for Mr. Hong's next instructions, because these people don't look simple, so we don't dare to take action at will, for fear of kicking the iron plate!"
"Because we haven't fully investigated their details yet. The most important thing is that they have only been here for a short time. We have gone through all the interpersonal networks in the concession to find out. These guys are not from the concession, and they are not even from Song.
People from the forces in Shanghai!"
"So it must be a foreign force that has entered the foreign concession, but I don't know who their backstage is! Or what their background is! But one thing is for sure, they have weapons and equipment with them!"
"And they are very vigilant. As long as our personnel get a little too close to them, they will be discovered and thrown away, and they will even use pistols to threaten them from a distance!"
"So our personnel don't dare to approach them now!"
“It’s all kept outside a certain range!”
As soon as Mr. Hong's question came out, his confidant Yan Jiayue immediately responded truthfully.
"Do they have weapons and equipment? Are they soldiers? Are they from the national army? Or are they from the military command?"
But when Mr. Hong heard that He Feiyang and the others had weapons and equipment, he immediately asked the question without thinking.
"They shouldn't be from the national army. Aren't they in the Battle of Songhu now? They are fighting with the Japanese troops. There is no time to come here to play, and it is impossible to have so much money to eat, drink and have fun.
!”
"As for the military commanders, they are even worse. They will not appear so blatantly in the foreign concessions, eating, drinking and having fun unscrupulously. They are engaged in intelligence collection, so they will not do this. So this
I can’t understand this group of people!”
"You have weapons and equipment, you have money, you have time to panic, you can eat, drink and have fun everywhere!"
“Although there was only one person who contributed the money in the end, it was still impressive enough!”
"I calculated their expenses and found that they spent over 100,000 yuan in one day, not including the high-end hotel room fees where they stayed with foreigners. It was just money spent on eating, drinking and having fun!"
"So I'd better ask Mr. Hong for instructions!"
In response to Master Hong's rhetorical question, Yan Jiayue, a close friend, shook his head and responded immediately.
"Have you ever investigated whether the person who provided the money is a rich man? Is he the son of a rich man?"
"How old is he?"
After hearing this, Mr. Hong was silent for a moment and then continued to ask.
"They are around 20 years old, and they don't dress like businessmen, nor do they look like rich men. They are just ordinary civilians, but the young man who paid the money is actually wearing a suit!"
"It's a bit like those brokers who work in the export trade!"
After Mr. Hong finished speaking, his confidant Yan Jiayue thought for a while and responded.
"How many are there in total?"
After hearing this, Mr. Hong was silent again and continued to ask.
"I counted more than 190 people, almost two hundred people!"
The confidant Yan Jiayue replied.
"What! So many people? Do they all have a pistol each?"
Upon hearing that the number of people was completely beyond his expectation, Mr. Hong was immediately shocked and asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, each of them has a pistol, and it seems to be a Browning pistol. Otherwise, my brothers and I would have dealt with them, and then maimed them, or captured them to see you.
Still need to wait for Master Hong to come over in person?"
Looking at Mr. Hong who was shocked by his report, Yan Jiayue, who was in his heart, did not feel guilty at all, but was very frank.
"."
Lord Hong.
He was silent for a while.
And he also quickly started his brain, thinking about what to do next.
As for his confidants Yan Jiayue and Hong Ye's confidants who had also stepped out of the black Mercedes-Benz cars, they all also chose to remain silent, waiting for Hong Ye's response.
Or waiting for Master Hong's instructions.
"Are you sure you can deal with almost 200 troops with pistols in the memorial hall? And you can still beat the most capable soldiers under me to the disabled troops? They still did not use pistols to shoot,
It’s worth killing with sheer force!”
But after asking a series of questions, Mr. Hong sighed deeply and asked.
But for this question that he didn't even have to think about, no one under his control dared to answer the question.
Including confidant Yan Jiayue,
Because this is a question of seeking death. Who is such an idiot to mess with almost 200 men who can fight and have weapons and equipment?
"But can my people just know that they have maimed them in vain, find some people who don't care about their lives, bring me explosive bags, and blow up some of them!"
"It doesn't matter what kind of background they are. I have surrendered to those Japs, so I don't care what kind of background they have. The world now and in the future will probably become a world dominated by Japs. At least I don't think Song
This place in Shanghai will definitely be completely occupied by the Japanese army!"
"Of course, the exception is the foreign concession. The Japanese troops don't dare to act recklessly yet. If you attack here, you must know that the foreign fleet has also begun to assist the concession in defending against Japanese attacks!"
However, Mr. Hong narrowed his eyes and gave a final instruction.
"Yes! Mr. Hong!"
Upon hearing this completely unexpected order, his confidant Yan Jiayue was startled and immediately agreed.
But at this time, Mr. Hong turned his attention to the Peace Hotel where He Feiyang was staying.
