CHAPTER 22.

The retreating troops were in disarray as the four companies of the 1st Battalion converged from the west to get to the Four Row Warehouse to set up their defenses by twelve o’clock at night.

This was not a simple and easy matter.

Yang Ruifu had no choice but to do everything in his power to regroup the troops that had been scattered out and turn in the direction of the Four Row Warehouse.

No one noticed that Cheng Mo quietly left the group alone.

He went to drive his own hidden tank, hanging far behind the retreating group, and when he reached his destination, he found a good place to hide the tank.

If this was done unnoticeably, that would not be true, after all, the matter of the tank, there are still people who know.

But those who did know stayed silent.

After Cheng Mo followed the team and retreated into the Four Row Warehouse together, no one mentioned this matter anymore, and as for where the tank was hidden, he was the only one who knew.

“Come in, this is the Salt One Warehouse, before this place was requisitioned, I lived here.” Cheng Mo led Wu Jianfeng and the others into his own turf, and even when it was requisitioned by 88th Division as the division command headquarters, the place was undisturbed.

The Four Row Warehouse was so big, there were so many rooms and spaces available, there was no need to have to enter a warehouse with an owner.

Not to mention that Cheng Mo, the big smart guy, had put a seal on the warehouse.

“Wow, there’s a side tricycle here, how pretty is it?”

“That’s from my sister.” Cheng Mo gave a generous explanation, as long as he didn’t say who his sister was, no one would know.

“Cheng Mo, what does your sister do, so rich.” Wu Jianfeng said enviously, “She actually managed to send you a motorcycle?”

“She ah, married into a good family, her in-laws are rich.” Cheng Mo was naturally unwilling to mention more, after all, his sister’s identity was indeed a bit difficult to talk about.

“That’s pretty good too, no wonder you don’t want to go with the rest of us to be a soldier, so your family is rich, or a rich young master!”

“I can’t talk about a rich young master, I just don’t worry about food and clothing.”

“That battlefield investigation team thing ……”

“Company Vice Wu, the regimental deputy notified that officers above the level of company commander will immediately go to the second floor conference room for a meeting!” Wu Jianfeng had just wanted to delve a little deeper when he was called away by a messenger.

For the first time, the newly arrived regimental deputy presided over an arming meeting, and all company level officers were required to attend and were not allowed to be absent.

“You can just find a place to rest, whatever you want to eat, just take it, anyway, there are enough supplies here.” After Cheng Mo greeted him, he hugged his own gun and lay down on his large carved yellow pear bed to sleep.

The field investigation team, should be the organization sent into the army under the Special Affairs Division of the Li Xing Society, the predecessor of the military junta, which was also the predecessor of the military junta that sent inspectors in the army.

It should have noticed themselves, their situation on the battlefield, as long as they are not blind, it is normal to be concerned.

But right now was not the critical moment to consider this matter.

The next battle is estimated to be his last battle on the Songhu battlefield, and he has to build up his strength.

The Four Row Warehouse is in a good location, with XZ Road to the east, Guoqing Road to the north, the Bank of Communications Building immediately to the west, and Suzhou Creek to the far south.

East of XZ Road is the Public Concession, a road apart, that is heaven and earth.

The Japanese dare not burn the war to the Concession, this no one dare say, once killed red-eye, can not hold the fire, that really cross the border is not impossible.

If the Japanese army really crossed the border, it may not necessarily be a bad thing, I am afraid that he does not cross the border.

It’s a bit ridiculous to say that a sovereign state actually needs to use such a way to get the poor support of others, but others are not yet seen to help you.

Wishful thinking.

No one in this world can be relied on, only the gun in their hands is the most loyal and can be trusted.

Can not sleep, get up early in the morning.

Climbing to the roof, the sun is like just struggling to get up from a nightmare, listless, pale face climbed out of the ground parallel. Huangpu River on the diffusion of the morning fog, a group, a wisp, drifting, wandering around.

Like that wandering spirit.

North Station has been occupied by the Japanese vanguard, from the top floor of the four rows of warehouses, you can clearly see that the anointed flag has been raised.

On our own soil, the flag of the invaders is raised.

This was a great irony.

Cheng Mo came to the top floor, looking north, the clock tower of the North Railway Station, Hongkou Park’s rockery, not far from the church, a ruin of the Republican Road ……

As far as the eye can see, a devastation, shocking, this was originally the most prosperous city center of Shanghai, now, in the Japanese invaders under fire razed to rubble.

In the ruins rose a black smoke, tumbling, rising, like a very Qingming when the tomb burned paper money.

South of the building, still busy and noisy, the Bund building stands in the Huangpu River, a huge sense of oppression, the river came from the sound of sirens, is the ghost of the warships in the show of force.

Behind him came a burst of footsteps, Cheng Mo turned around and saw a lieutenant colonel dressed in the national army walking over, national face, lean body, pitch-black face, expression is quite grave.

Cheng Mo was also wearing the National Army’s combat uniform at this time, and looked like an ordinary soldier of the 524th Regiment.

“Good day sir.” Cheng Mo recognized the other party at a glance, but the other party didn’t know him.

“This brother, which company of the 1st Battalion are you a soldier from?” Xie Zhongmin called out to Cheng Mo, always feeling that this young man looked a bit familiar, but he just couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.

“I’m not a soldier, I’m the custodian of the Salt Bank staying at the Four Row Warehouse.” Cheng Mo explained.

“Since you’re not a soldier, why don’t you hurry up and leave, this place is about to turn into a battlefield.” Xie Zhongmin was surprised, but still did his duty and gave a kind word of advice.

“Sir, I’m in charge of guarding the Four Row Warehouse, duty calls, why should I leave?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically, pointing his hand to the Japanese soldiers searching forward in the distance, ghostly and lewd through and through, “It should be those people who are leaving.”

“Brother, you are not a soldier, or hurry to leave, while it is still gone ……” Xie Zhongmin could not help but be touched for a while, this time there is still this loyal young man, the quality is really rare, and persuade a.

“My home, I’m not going anywhere.” Cheng Mo said, “the continuation of the survival of the nation, the land is not divided into north and south, people are not divided into young and old, all have the responsibility of defending the land against the war, is the military, or the people and what difference does it make?”

Xie Zhongmin froze, these words simply let him feel ashamed, straight to the depths of the soul, a common people have such awareness, that as a soldier himself, should not be more determined, all of a sudden dispersed the trace of haze and worry in his heart.

Xie Zhongmin really didn’t know Cheng Mo, because he was temporarily ordered to command this team.

The first battalion exchanged fire with the ghosts after lunch, and with the advantage of being able to wait for the enemy, the Japanese advance troops suffered a stifling loss and retreated straight back.

Around 1:00 p.m., the Japanese once again launched an attack, this time almost two squadrons of the size of the collection, respectively, from the XZ Road, Suzhou Creek Road North, and Guoqing Road, three sides of the encirclement, the first company defending the block near the Bank of Communications, and the ghosts first exchanged fire.

Cheng Mo was a free man, how he fought, no one else needed to direct him, his task was just one, to solve those who came out of the woodwork as well as the unnecessary trouble.

In order to effectively shoot the target, Cheng Mo intentionally put the target within 100 meters, but not more than fifty meters, within this range, but any ghost machine gunners, barrel throwers and ghost officers above the military censor that he saw, were all killed.

This time, he changed a method of fighting, no longer directly shoot to kill, but first wounded each other, and then induced the other party to send people to save, and then slowly tortured ……

Only in this way can he solve the hatred of his heart.

This kind of lack of morality with smoking children’s fighting method, is also infected a company of officers and soldiers, they also began to know how to cooperate, put people first, and then slowly play with each other.

In one afternoon, in front of the position stationed by the first company, the Japanese army threw dozens of corpses, and in the end, the Japanese army actually sent people to shout and ask to be allowed to collect the corpses.

Such a scene was worth recording, so Cheng Mo took out the camera that his sister had given him and silently snapped it.

“How many?”

“No less than fifty or sixty, the Japanese army is collecting the corpses, just go and take a look and you’ll see.” The Shangguan regimental deputy said.

“This first company is so capable of fighting, who is the company commander?”

“The company commander of the first company was wounded and retreated, the one commanding the first company now is company vice Wu Jianfeng.” Shangguan ZhiBiao explained, “Originally, before retreating, the regimental commander arranged for me to take on the role as well, but I saw that Company Vice Wu was doing quite well, so I didn’t interfere, and I didn’t expect that they were fighting so well.”

“Did Company 1 suffer a big loss?” Xie Zhongmin subconsciously asked, such a big battle results, inertia, a company of a hundred or so people, afraid to sacrifice most of them.

“No one died, lightly wounded three it.”

“This is impossible!” Xie Zhongmin lost his voice.

“On the side of the first company, the ghosts couldn’t even get within fifty meters of the first company’s defensive position, and they didn’t dare to use heavy artillery on us for fear that the shells would hit and fall on the opposite side of the concession, so the casualties were really low.” Before the report, the Shangguan regimental deputy was aware of the situation, and he also found it unbelievable, but that was the case.

Xie Zhongmin is the division staff director down, naturally do not know this 524th regiment battalion one company of the magic, he is the regimental deputy, but also did not take over a few days, so the understanding is also not a lot, after all, that Yang Ruifu with the baby like protection of the company, go down all sent people to follow, do not know also think he is guarding against who it is.

“Go, go over and take a look.” Xie Zhongmin became interested and pulled Shangguan Regimental Deputy straight to the Bank of Communications building that the 1st Battalion was defending.

He wanted to see how the amazing 1st Battalion actually did it, and if it could be generalized throughout the battalion, then the battle would be a good one.
