"Let's first count the number of people and the combat capabilities of the troops. I want to listen to the truth, because this time we are fighting in the hinterland of the Japanese. There can be no lies at all. We must seek truth from facts."
Dragon Boat Festival called everyone together for a meeting. He wanted to know how many people there were in Shanghai and the status of weapons and equipment.
Shangguan Zhibiao made a detailed report on this. He took out a roster and said: "Regiment, I don't know if I don't count it. When I counted it, even I was shocked. Our total strength in Shanghai has reached
There were 3,275 people,..."
"so much?"
Duanwu was also shocked, because he thought that the wounded soldiers he left behind and the original South Bank Volunteer Army were only more than 300 people, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in less than two months.
With more than 3,000 people, even calling it a strengthened regiment is not an exaggeration, right? This battle was really fought.
Duanwu smiled and said: "What about the weapons situation?"
Shangguan Zhibiao hesitated for a moment and said: "The weapons are only sticks and machetes. There are less than a hundred people with guns. Most of these people with guns are hidden in various gangs. Maybe they can still get some weapons, but certainly not
many."
Duanwu shook his head and said: "That's useless. I'm going to fight a big battle this time. What I need are rifles, machine guns, even mortars, etc. You can't fight a battle with a pistol. Think of a way, where are the weapons?
Or be able to buy weapons?”
Shangguan Zhibiao thought for a while and said: "I do know one person who has weapons, that is the governor of the British Concession - Ingmar Hanley. Leader, you still remember that we threw all the captured weapons into the Suzhou River.
Did you? After you left, that Ingmar Hanli secretly sent people to salvage all these weapons and hid them. If we can get these weapons, then more than half of our weapons and equipment will be solved.
"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Haha, it's interesting. This Ingmar Hanley is quite good at living."
However, at this moment, Chen Shusheng also said: "Commander, I discovered an arsenal of little Japs half a month ago. It should have been transferred from Shanghai to the front line, but there were more Japs guarding it. There was about one
Around the squadron.”
Shangguan Zhibiao said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you discovered the Japs' arsenal? Isn't it difficult for our regiment to have Japs in a squadron?"
Chen Shusheng chuckled and said, "Yes, now that the group is here, it won't be a big deal."
Duanwu also smiled and said: "Yes, this time I will not only attack the Japanese army's arsenal, but also the Japanese military hospital, the Japanese military police, the intelligence department, and even the headquarters.
Although there is only one day left, our ancestors said that if you are not quick enough to sharpen your weapons before the battle, let your people master as many combat skills as possible, because we are going to fight a big battle."
"Don't worry, everyone, we have trained on these before."
Shangguan Zhibiao assured Duanwu, and then asked Duanwu if he should go to Ingmar Hanli now.
Duanwu waved his hand and said: "No, I have other things to do now. You can monitor Ingmar Hanley first, and then I will go talk to him and investigate the little devil's arsenal. This battle cannot be tolerated.
It’s a mistake, do you understand?”
"yes!"
Everyone took the order, and Dragon Boat Festival left the coffin shop and continued riding a rickshaw to Shuibowan.
Shuibowan is an abandoned pier. The water there is very shallow and is not suitable for large ships to dock, so it was abandoned over time.
However, this place has become a paradise for smugglers.
·····················
At about 9:45 a.m., Duanwu arrived at Shuibowan. However, he did not go directly to meet Ma Ping'an. Instead, he found a high ground to survey the nearby terrain.
You must be very careful when dealing with foreigners, because they say they only believe in profit first. So if you think you are friends with them, they will not lie to you, then you are totally wrong. Before the Dragon Boat Festival
After suffering losses from the Germans, I bought dozens of fake artillery shells.
So this time, Dragon Boat Festival will never trip over the same stone twice.
And sure enough, not long after Dragon Boat Festival was observed, more than thirty sneaky men in black appeared near Shuibo Bend. These men, all with guns on their bodies, were lying in ambush near the trading place. And the British man and
The Germans, accompanied by four bodyguards, escorted a truck and a car and stopped outside the warehouse at the old site of Shuibowan.
At this moment, Ma Pingan also arrived. He also drove a truck over, but he did not trade directly with the other party, but waited for the Dragon Boat Festival to arrive.
Xiao Sun, the coachman pulling the Dragon Boat Festival, said: "Mr. Dragon Boat Festival, what do you think is going on?"
Duanwu said: "There are two possibilities. One possibility is that the other party is very cautious and is afraid of accidents in the transaction, so they send people to protect them secretly. The other possibility is that these foreigners do not have any good intentions in the first place.
Fortunately, we are also prepared. Your people are very qualified. If the other party really wants to have any evil intentions, they should be able to deal with it. However, I am afraid that your underground party will be soft-hearted and will not be able to take the lead. Go tell your people and listen to me.
The sound of gunshots is the signal, I shoot, take action immediately, don’t care who the other party is, kill them immediately, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Xiao Sun took the order and went to deliver the order, while Duanwu went down the mountain and walked into the transaction site from the path.
Duanwu laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, I'm sorry, I got lost. Isn't it easy to find here? Hahaha!"
"Mr. Reilly (this is the name Duanwu and Ma Ping An made up temporarily for the convenience of movement), you are here. Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Jack, and this is Mr. Yaleson."
Ma Pingan introduced the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival shook hands with the other party.
The German Yaleson said impatiently: "Since everyone is here, let's trade? I want to see your money first, and then show you my goods. Is there no problem with that?"
Ma Ping'an looked at the Dragon Boat Festival, because all the money belonged to the Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem. Bring out the money. I will take all the weapons you have today."
Duanwu signaled Ma Ping'an to carry the money, and then a total of four suitcases were carried out from the back of the truck.
The box was opened, and inside there were gold bars, oceans, gold, silver, and jade jewelry, antiques, and more. Visually, these items were definitely worth no less than 100,000 oceans.
The German businessman Yaleson had a greedy smile on his face, and then waved his hand, and the people he led were about to step forward to take the money.
Peng!
At this moment, Dragon Boat Festival kicked the box, and the open lid closed.
Duanwu put one foot on it and said with a dry smile: "Hehehe, Mr. Yaleson, you saw my money, but where are your goods? Shouldn't you let me see it too?..."
