The so-called "Pawn Shop Plan" was planned by John Niu and would be carried out in big cities such as Shanghai under the actual command of Xiao Yi and the members of Fox Tong Langya to exchange counterfeit military notes for hard currency.
When Liu Bingguo heard the news, a smile appeared on his tired face: "Go to Shanghai Flower World, haha, you can broaden your horizons. Brothers, I tell you, don't be fascinated by it."
At that time, Shanghai was the most prosperous city in the country. Shanghai's luxuries and nightlife were what many fashionable young people today pursued. If the Japanese invasion had not happened, Shanghai at that time would have become even more popular. It's tempting, right?
The level of the Fox Tong Group in the Taixing area is too low to receive the top-secret action strategy of the "Pawn Shop Plan". If Xiao Yi wants to get specific action guidelines, he must go to the higher level Yangzhou Fox Tong Group. Originally, they could also They went to Shanghai first and went directly to the local Hutong team in Shanghai to claim this guide. However, considering that the situation in Shanghai was relatively complicated now and they were worried that their identities would be exposed before entering, Chang Gen thought about it and suggested that they go to Yangzhou first. Obtain a guide and then enter Shanghai according to the guide,
Chang Gen is the headquarters commander of this operation. He will be responsible for arranging all forces to provide convenience for Xiao Yi and their actions. Mu Jiandie has been in Chongqing for a long time and has not returned. He, the second in command of Hu Tong, has vaguely meant to replace him. Now Ouyang Yun entrusted him with such a confidential and important matter again. Lao Chang was so excited that he naturally had to go all out to perform.
Yangzhou is still some distance away from Taixing, and it has been completely controlled by the Japanese. Although there are several guerrilla groups operating in this area, they have no contact with the Xuebing Army at all, so Xiao Yi and the others can only ask for help The local fox pupil organization,
The most convenient way to go to Yangzhou from Taixing is to take a boat by water. However, Hu Tong belongs to a secret underground organization in Taixing. They are not yet able to provide boats for Xiao Yi and the others, and considering that the little devil's patrol motorboat is on the Yangtze River Galloping back and forth, the guards were very tight. Xiao Yi finally decided to walk there after inspection.
Walking was too time-consuming, and besides, they were bringing a patient with them. Although Liu Bingguo's condition was better than before, he was still unable to walk alone, so Xiao Yi and the others had to make up a stretcher and carry him with them. Going there, the Yangtze River Delta area is densely covered with water networks, and there are many large rivers in it. Although Xiao Yi and the others were able to grasp the general direction with reference to military maps, they still took a lot of steps back.
On May 7, at around nine o'clock in the morning, they were heading along the direction on the map, and their way was blocked by a river in a place called Madian.
They walked up from the mouth of the river and walked for more than an hour without finding a bridge or a ferry. Xiao Yisui decided not to leave and found a narrower place nearby to swim across.
For the Langya special forces, swimming is no different from walking. Originally, they could do this at the mouth of the river. Xiao Yi was worried about Liu Bingguo and feared that he would not be able to bear it, so he decided to look for a bridge. Or the ferry. This delay missed the best opportunity to swim, because just when he made the decision to swim across the river as a group, the most unfortunate thing happened. Liu Bingguo had a high fever again, and began to have symptoms on his body. red dot,
At this moment, the people responsible for carrying Liu Bingguo were Zhang Dan and Xu Liang. Zhang Dan was carrying the stretcher. He glanced at Liu Bingguo inadvertently and immediately said to Ke Xiaoming who was walking in front: "Stop, the owl is not in the right situation."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi was walking in front, but he was the first to react when he heard Zhang Dan's words. He turned around and jumped to the stretcher.
Liu Bingguo had fallen into a semi-coma state at this time. He didn't know when he got sick. His face was extremely abnormal and flushed. His mouth was slightly open and he was breathing rapidly, as if he had difficulty breathing.
He looked even worse than when he had a fever last time. Xiao Yi probed his forehead and found that the fever was severe, and frowned deeply.
"It was obviously fine just now, but why now?" Ke Xiaoming had also turned his head. As he said this, he couldn't help but feel very worried.
Langya people have good physical fitness and don't get sick easily. Even if they catch a cold occasionally, most of them will be cured immediately as long as they break out in a sweat. But once they fall ill, it will definitely be a serious illness, and they will definitely not get better without going to the hospital for treatment.
This would be nothing if it were in Guangzhou. The medical industry in Xuebingjun is very developed. As long as you seek medical treatment in time, you will recover quickly. But the problem now is that this place is far away from Guangzhou, and there are many Japanese patrol teams nearby. If you fall ill at this time, it will be quite serious. tricky,
Several other people gathered around, and one of them noticed something and exclaimed in a low voice: "Look what this is." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Bingguo's collar down, revealing the red dots under his neck.
The people in Langya have a wide range of interests, and in every team, there must be someone who has some medical knowledge to serve as a temporary hygienist. In this team, Xiao Yi personally takes on this job. When he saw these red spots, the expression on his face immediately He became solemn and thought in his mind: "It can't be septicemia caused by a cold. In that case, it would be dangerous." He unbuttoned Liu Bingguo's clothes and exposed his upper body, and saw dense measles on his chest and abdomen. Ordinary little red dots, I couldn't help but take a breath. This situation can already be concluded as sepsis.
The mortality rate from sepsis is very high, especially in the wild.
"Head, it doesn't matter." Everyone except Liu Bingguo looked at him. Everyone was very worried about Liu Bingguo's situation.
"It seems to be sepsis. I'll give him an injection of gentamicin first to see if he can withstand it."
Xuebingjun's pharmaceutical industry and electronics industry keep pace with each other, and its technological level is far ahead of the world. After penicillin "penicillin", antibiotics such as streptomycin and gentamicin were developed. The emergence of these antibiotics, Allowing some previously terminal illnesses to be treated, this has greatly reduced the death rate of injured cadets.
Xiao Yi carried several antibiotics with him, and based on the common sense he had learned, he knew that gentamicin had a certain effect on sepsis, so he decided to inject Liu Bingguo with a dose of gentamicin first.
At this time, they still didn't know the specific cause of Liu Bingguo's illness. Xiao Yi injected Liu Bingguo with gentamicin and then said: "Bingguo can no longer follow us and must be sent back to Guangzhou for medical treatment. 'Pawn Shop Plan' 'It was ordered by the commander-in-chief himself. I must go to Shanghai to take charge. Next, we can only divide our troops into two groups." He said, glanced at everyone, and asked: "Is anyone willing to send Liu Bingguo back? Two people are needed. .”
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all fell silent. It wasn't that they were indifferent, ignored Liu Bingguo's current situation, and didn't want to send him back. It was really that they were too eager for the mission.
Among all the units in the army, Langya has the best treatment, and is also the most valued by Ouyang Yun. Training a qualified Langya special forces is too time-consuming and expensive, even for those with strong financial resources. The army can only designate Langya as a brigade for this reason. It is precisely because the soldiers of Langya are so valuable that, in all aspects, their probability of going on a mission is actually the lowest. Therefore, it is A phenomenon has been created. If the soldiers of Langya want to be promoted, it is a long road.
Yes, it is a huge honor to be a member of the Spike Special Forces Brigade. Think about it, among all the troops in the Xuebing Army, which one has soldiers with the rank of sergeant as soon as they join the army? However, Isn't there a saying in the army that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier? Therefore, it is understandable that the Langya special forces are eager to make contributions and be promoted and make a fortune.
Xiao Yi expected this kind of scene before asking the question. He was also prepared to offend people, so he directly called them by name and said: "Zhang Dan, Xu Liang, you two are sending Bing country back, are there any problems?"
Zhang Dan and Xu Liang looked at each other, sighed softly in their hearts, then raised their hands in salute and said, "We promise to complete the mission."
Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, thinking that these bastards still have the overall situation in mind, so he said: "Then, let's break up here. You go back to Taixing to find Team Leader Zhang and ask him to arrange for you to cross the river, and then go directly to Changzhou , Hu Tong in Changzhou has very strong mobility, they will definitely be able to help you find suitable transportation, Zhang Dan, you are responsible for the specifics, Bing Guo and Xu Liang, I will leave it to you."
"yes."
The seven-person team was divided into two groups in Madian, and then began to "go their separate ways".
"Operation Pawnshop" officially began. At almost the same time, the first batch of life-saving supplies were installed at Guangzhou Baiyunshan Airport. At around three o'clock that afternoon, these thirteen air fortresses were piloted by Tielin Fei himself. Direct flight to Northwest China,
"Operation Pawnshop" will take a certain amount of time to achieve results. At the same time, the Japanese army has strengthened its military offensive in Shaanxi and Shanxi. This makes the survival of the 57th Army more and more difficult, and also makes the students of the First Division and the Mountain Division more difficult. For the first time, the soldiers felt the other side of the cruelty of war. It turns out that the cruelty of war is not only because guns and artillery can kill people, but also more cruelly because war will destroy the economic production of a region, which will bring about The lack of supplies will starve people to death.
Since the establishment of the Cadet Army, the cadets have never suffered from hunger, but this time, the cadets from the First Division and the Mountain Division have experienced it.
After persisting for more than a month, Zhang Zizhong couldn't take it anymore and sent telegrams asking for help to Guangzhou one after another. At this time, he even regretted why he didn't listen to Ouyang Yun and led the troops to Guangzhou.
Yes, the title of theater commander is indeed dazzling, but if the cost is the entire 57th Army, that is definitely not what he wants.
