Chapter 459 A red heart, a monthly ticket for the country in this life)
Dai Chunfeng patted Cheng Qianfan hard on the shoulder.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Yu Pingan watched from the side, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
After this incident, Cheng Qianfan's importance in Dai Chunfeng's heart will reach a new height.
Yu Ping'an looked at Cheng Qianfan and thought to himself that this guy is really good at talking, and he can rise to great heights just by flattering him.
The most commendable thing is that Cheng Qianfan is not a flatterer!
He demonstrated Dai Chunfeng's loyalty with practical actions!
He is capable, knows how to do things, knows how to speak, and most importantly, embodies the word "loyalty" in everything he does. Such a subordinate is what Shangfeng likes most.
Another point is that Yu Ping'an is well aware that Cheng Qianfan's qualifications cannot threaten Dai Chunfeng's status, and he also has the friendship of a fellow student and fellow countryman. It is no wonder that Dai Chunfeng appreciates and trusts Cheng Qianfan so much.
.
"Instructor Yuan is thoughtful and resourceful. The most important thing is that he is loyal to Virgo and to the party and the country." Yu Ping'an said with admiration, "Ping'an would like to congratulate Virgo on having such a general."
Normally, Dai Chunfeng would say, 'Bingyan has praised me, but this kid still needs more training.'
At this time, Xu Shi was too satisfied with Cheng Qianfan, but Dai Chunfeng nodded, "The party-state Qiancheng is nothing like this!"
With that said, he patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder again, "You are very good and you have lived up to my trust in you."
"Being loyal to the leader, loyal to the leader, and reimbursing the party and the country is what my subordinates want throughout their lives!" Cheng Qianfan said with emotion.
Sheng Shuyu watched this scene and couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes when he saw Cheng Qianfan, who was wearing his lieutenant colonel uniform, receiving such unabashed praise from Dai Chunfeng.
"Tell me, what do you think should be done about Lei Jialiang?" Dai Chunfeng asked harmoniously.
"Initiate a strict interrogation immediately, pry open Lei Jialiang's mouth as quickly as possible, and find out whether there are any Japanese special forces in the youth training class. It is related to the anti-Japanese plan and there is no room for negligence." Cheng Qianfan said loudly, "In addition, Yu Ailin
The origin of the grenades we carry must also be investigated.”
The students in the youth training class are all from the Rangers, and they are screened before joining the Rangers. It is impossible for Yu Ailin to enter with a grenade, so the origin of this grenade is quite strange.
"Yes." Dai Chunfeng nodded and looked at Sheng Shuyu, "Interrogate Lei Jialiang immediately and pry open this person's mouth. In addition, thoroughly investigate the source of the grenade."
"yes!"
Sheng Shuyu saluted, turned and left.
"Walk around with me." Dai Chunfeng said to Cheng Qianfan.
"yes!"
…
After such an incident, Qingpu has obviously stepped up its vigilance.
Agents from the Secret Service dispersed to investigate the whereabouts of Japanese special agents.
The range of activities of the students was also temporarily restricted to prevent any lurking enemy agents among the students from escaping.
"Sir, my subordinates received a telegram from the headquarters yesterday, ordering them to stop searching for information on Japan's four-phase talks," Cheng Qianfan said.
"It's true." Dai Chunfeng nodded, "I ordered Qi Wu to send the report to you."
"But our department has obtained the information?" Cheng Qianfan asked happily.
Dai Chunfeng stretched out his hand, and his secretary opened his briefcase and handed a document to Dai Chunfeng.
Dai Chunfeng handed it to Cheng Qianfan casually.
Cheng Qianfan opened it and took a look.
It was actually the troop deployment of the Japanese offensive against Shanghai in October, as planned by the Japanese Cabinet’s Four Meetings:
The 101st Division landed between Wusong and Shanghai and entered the north bank of Yunzaobang.
The 9th Division and the 13th Division both sent additional troops to Shanghai from Osaka and Kobe respectively.
Its operational intentions are: (1) attack Dachang Town with three divisions;
(2) The 11th Division enters the Yangjing line and maneuvers to cover its right side;
(3) Use the 13th Division as the second line, behind the right wing of the main force of the army;
(4) Attack Dachang Town, enter the Suzhou River line, and advance southward;
(5) The purpose of the offensive is to enter the Suzhou River line, eliminate the Chinese army north of Shanghai, blockade the southwest of Shanghai, and then attack Nanxiang.
Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed and said, "I actually got such a detailed battle plan."
He looked at Dai Chunfeng with admiration and said, "Virgin, our Secret Service has made such a great contribution again. The principal will be delighted."
Unexpectedly, Dai Chunfeng looked strange and looked at Cheng Qianfan for a while before saying, "We did not get this information."
"It's not us?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised and asked in a low voice, "It's the Party Affairs Investigation Department?"
"Them?" Dai Chunfeng sneered, shook his head, and said with a complex expression, "They are the Red Party."
"What?" Cheng Qianfan was shocked. This time he was not pretending. He was really shocked. "It's actually a Red Party member?"
"Yes, the Red Party." Dai Chunfeng nodded, with a gloomy expression on his face, "I didn't expect that the Red Party would penetrate Japan so deeply."
As he spoke, he snorted, "This time, we were disgraced by the Red Party. The principal praised the Red Party on his face, but in fact he was even more afraid of the Red Party."
Cheng Qianfan also looked unhappy, "These red bandits have far-reaching plans, we have to guard against them, Virgo."
"Very good, very sober." Dai Chunfeng nodded, "Currently, the National Red Party is cooperating to fight against Japan. This is a major plan, but we cannot relax our vigilance against the Red Party."
"I understand," Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
He was angry in his heart:
Our party has gone through a lot of hard work, and you can even imagine that in order to obtain such confidential information from Japan, there must be swords and swords behind it, and it is extremely dangerous.
How could our party not know that this matter would arouse the concern of the national government, but still convey the information to the Kuomintang without hesitation.
Without him, our party is patriotic and anti-Japanese!
…
"Your lecture is very exciting." Dai Chunfeng said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I was in special training in Hangzhou a year and a half ago, and now I can be an instructor."
"Virgo taught you well, and I don't dare to take credit." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully, "I heard the students talk about Virgo's speech today, and everyone was full of praise. After listening to Virgo's speech, everyone was full of praise.
My blood is boiling and I wish I could die to serve the country."
The corners of Dai Chunfeng's mouth rose, obviously very happy.
In fact, he was quite proud of his speech.
Just a few days ago, the Qingpu special training class officially opened, and Dai Chunfeng delivered an opening speech.
"We in China have two principles of immortality. One is to risk death and survive, and the other is to win despite the enemy. This can be proved by China's five thousand years of history and culture.
We must rise up to resist. There is no way out through appeasement. Otherwise, waiting for people to celebrate the New Year when the pigs are full will never lead to freedom and equality.’”
This sentence can be called the most praised "essence" of this speech. Yu Ping'an even specially called on the students to study and understand the spirit of Dai Virtuoso's important speech.
In the evening, Cheng Qianfan returned the uniform of the National Army Lieutenant Colonel to Sheng Shuyu. He changed into casual clothes and quietly left Qingpu.
The identity of Yuan Guoan, the instructor of the Qingpu special training class, came to an end in just one day.
With his special status, it is naturally impossible for him to stay in Qingpu as an instructor forever. This time it is just for 'gold plating'.
However, he didn't expect that he would dig out two special Japanese from the Qingpu special training class. Not only did they make great contributions, but they also made Dai Chunfeng respect and trust him more. It was an unexpected gain.
…
"Mr. Xiao." Jiang Mulezi led someone to meet him halfway and protect him.
"Brothers, are you okay?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Fifteen brothers were martyred and more than ten were injured. We have arranged for them to be secretly transferred to the concession for treatment," Jiang Mulezi said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded with a serious expression.
The Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee's special forces have joined the Songhu battlefield. Dai Chunfeng has set the principles for this team's activities: not afraid of sacrifice, only looking at the results; operating in the most dangerous places; helping to open up opportunities for victory when the national army advances.
Provide cover when retreating; collect intelligence at the same time to reduce retreat difficulties and damage.
Except for the students in the Qingpu special training class, most of the Rangers have already engaged the Japanese army. The team mainly operates in the urban and rural areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, ambushing Japanese soldiers and traitors.
In such an encounter, long weapons had no advantage, but the advantage of short weapons of the Rangers became prominent, causing certain casualties to the Japanese army. Correspondingly, the Rangers also suffered heavy casualties.
Because of Cheng Qianfan's entreaty, Dai Chunfeng carefully considered the actual situation of the special situation group and did not integrate Jiang Mulezi's team into the special force. Instead, he gave the fifth detachment an independent brigade and allowed independent action rights.
Following Cheng Qianfan's instructions, Jiang Mulezi led the independent brigade to adopt more flexible tactics. They did not touch the large-scale Japanese army and only focused on sneak attacks on small Japanese troops, especially lone Japanese squads.
Even so, the independent brigade still suffered battle losses.
"Even if the Japanese army is in a small group, their individual combat capabilities are still very strong." Jiang Mulezi introduced the situation and said, "Especially the Japanese army's marksmanship is very accurate."
The first battle of the Independence Brigade was a sneak attack to encircle and suppress a five-man squad of Japanese troops. More than 80 people fought against five people, with a force deployment of ten to one. Although all five Japanese troops were finally wiped out, six people from the Independence Brigade were killed and seven
When people are injured, it can be said to be a tragic victory.
This battle also allowed the Independence Brigade to truly feel the Japanese army's individual combat capabilities and tenacious fighting will.
After that, the Independence Brigade engaged in several battles with lone Japanese soldiers, using more and fewer, surprise attacks, and close combat attacks with short rifles, but casualties continued to occur.
"How many people are there in the Independence Brigade now?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"There are forty-three people left, and more than half of them have minor injuries." Jiang Luozi said. He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Three of them escaped before the battle and were executed under the pre-war military law."
"Who?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a cold face.
"Two student dolls, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and one is a member of the special team."
"Deserves to be killed!" Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth and said.
He knew that this was cruel. The fourteen-year-old student dolls, with high patriotic enthusiasm, joined the anti-Japanese team as soon as their brains became hot. These students, who had never even touched a gun before, entered the battlefield and were frightened by the bloody and cruel battlefield.
possible.
He was not killed by the Japanese and was subject to battlefield discipline.
Is it pitiful?
Pitiful!
However, if a national crisis is imminent and someone flees from a battle, he should be killed!
The battlefield is neither tender nor impassioned as in poetry, but dripping with blood!
"Everyone has temporarily withdrawn across the Suzhou River to repair and standby." Cheng Qianfan ordered.
These people have all experienced the battlefield and can be regarded as veterans. They are all valuable assets. The situation on the battlefield in Songhu is deteriorating. He cannot let the independent brigade be consumed in the battle with the elite Japanese soldiers. He still has a large number of these people.
use.
The fall of Shanghai has become inevitable. By then, there will be no organized national army around Shanghai. He can play an important role by retaining such a team that has experienced the battlefield.
"Yes!" Jiang Mulezi nodded.
Mr. Xiao had told him before that the main purpose of participating in the war was to train the team. The independent brigade would be of great use in the future. He understood this truth.
…
After returning to the French Concession from Qingpu, the prudent Cheng Qianfan kept to himself and devoted himself to patrolling the house.
October 8th.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army in Shanghai made a statement: The purpose of the Japanese attack was to force the Chinese government and the anti-Japanese army to change their attitude towards Japan.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
The Chinese people were outraged.
The next day, the League of Nations invited the thirteen countries to hold a Nine-Nation Convention meeting in Peiping to find a solution to the Sino-Japanese dispute.
On the 10th, the national diplomatic department sent a note to the League of Nations, stating that it accepted the invitation to the Nine-Nation Convention Conference.
The Japanese army responded by suddenly intensifying its offensive against the Chinese army and frantically attacking Zhabei.
…
October 28th.
The heroic deeds of the 800 lone troops (actually more than 400 people) who defended the Sihang Warehouse in Zhabei shocked the whole city.
The Japanese army occupied Zhabei and burned it extensively. Zhabei was completely reduced to scorched earth, and civilians were left dead and injured.
October 31st:
After holding on to the Sihang Warehouse alone and fighting the enemy for five days, they received orders from the top and were forced to retreat into the concession with 398 men alone.
The Japanese army set fire to Zhabei, causing losses of more than 200 million yuan.
The Japanese army used all their strength to cross the Suzhou River.
On that day, the Chinese army abandoned Nanxiang to secure all positions on the north bank of the Suzhou River.
The Supreme Headquarters of the National Military Council made a strategic mistake at this time and did not pay attention to the security of the flanks. It successively transferred the divisions of the right-wing corps to the front to strengthen the frontal defense line.
With only a small number of troops and local security groups defending dozens of kilometers of coastline, the newly reinforced Tenth Army of the Japanese Army was in uninhabited territory, easily landed near Jinshan Guard in Hangzhou Bay, and quickly occupied important strongholds such as Songjiang.
This put the Chinese army on the front of the Songhu battlefield into a dangerous situation where it was attacked from both sides.
On November 9, the Chinese army was forced to abandon its positions on the south bank of the Suzhou River except Nanshi. Our army moved towards the line between Qingpu and Baihe Port, and the order was chaotic.
On that day, the Supreme Command ordered the Nationalist troops on the Songhu battlefield to begin to evacuate their positions, and ordered nearly 10,000 Rangers of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Committee to snipe the Japanese troops and cover the Nationalist troops' retreat.
The Rangers, who had high hopes from Dai Virgo, suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 10,000 Rangers suffered casualties as high as 8,000, and less than 2,000 escaped the battlefield alive.
On that day, Taiyuan fell, and the land of Sanjin was plunged into a sea of fire.
November 11th.
Cheng Qianfan drove Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao to the department store for shopping.
"This dress is good." Cheng Qianfan pointed to a white dress and said to Bai Ruolan.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the department store, and citizens poured out of the mall.
Cheng Qianfan was shocked, worried about danger, and left the department store with Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao. He saw a crowd of people outside and the citizens surrounded the newsboy.
The little newsboy waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs:
Extra, extra, the mayor of Shanghai issued a letter to the citizens: sadly announcing the fall of Shanghai.
Bai Ruolan could clearly feel her husband's hand holding her shaking.
She held her husband's hand tightly.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Bai Ruolan, and his wife looked at him worriedly.
"Let's go home." Cheng Qianfan said softly.
Twenty-two-year-old Cheng Qianfan, holding Bai Ruolan's hand on the left and Xiaobao's hand on the right, walked through the surging crowd and walked towards the car parked on the roadside.
Along the way there were people looking desperate.
Some people cried bitterly.
Some people shouted in grief and indignation.
Someone stood on the steps and shouted at the top of his lungs: I will not be a slave to the subjugation of my country until I die.
More people began to run away and rushed to the vegetable market and grain and oil stores.
Got in the car.
Cheng Qianfan sat in the driver's seat, feeling sad in his heart. Perhaps he had been prepared for this day, but he found that he could watch everything calmly.
Light a cigarette and take a few puffs.
Throwing half a cigarette out of the window, Cheng Qianfan started the car, honked the horn, and the car struggled to shuttle through the crowd.
Shanghai fell.
For him, the real battle has just begun!
A red heart, Xu Guo in this life! (To be continued)
