Chapter 401: Military orders are like mountains

Sihang Warehouse, October 30, 1937, 11 p.m.

It has been four days since the battle, and the Sixing warehouse is still firmly controlled by the Chinese army.

In the past four days, Xie Jinyuan and his brothers have inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army.

In particular, with the advantage of relying on the concession with their backs, the Japanese army did not dare to use heavy artillery fire to attack, and with the sturdiness of the Sixing warehouse, the first battalion commanded by Xie Jinyuan actually achieved the price of only nine killed and more than 20 wounded, and annihilated more than 200 enemies.

This was extremely rare in the entire Battle of Songhu.

Obviously, they can continue to hold on with the support of the people of Shanghai.

"Report, the military commander is coming!"

A report made Xie Jinyuan, who was in the entire inspection position, stunned.

Military commanders?

What are the agents doing here?

This is a norm on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Songhu, the military commanders suffered heavy casualties, and fought side by side with the regular army many times, but in the hearts of many officers, their reputation was still not good.

Especially those officers who have never worked with the military command.

Xie Jinyuan is one of them.

"Let him in."

The spy who came in was not "him", it was "her".

Wu Jingyi, under the protection of two agents, walked into this legendary four-line warehouse position.

"Sir Xie." As soon as she came in, Wu Jingyi saluted: "I am Wu Jingyi, the captain of the military command." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xie Jinyuan's face was serious.

"On the orders of the Supreme Command, convey the latest operational instructions. The 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment fought fiercely for four days and nights, killing countless enemies, and inspiring the determination of the military and people across the country to resist the war to the end. Now that the mission has been successfully completed, evacuate immediately. ”

"What?"

Before Xie Jinyuan could speak, the officers of the battalion on the side had already shouted loudly: "Retreat? Who gave the order to retreat? Sling the bull! ”

"We can still fight, we can still play with little Japan!"

In this posture, if Wu Jingyi is not a woman, I am afraid that the officers have already pulled out their guns and pointed them at her head.

Xie Jinyuan was much calmer, and let his subordinates calm down: "What about the order?" ”

Wu Jingyi immediately took out the order and handed it to Xie Jinyuan.

Xie Jinyuan took a closer look and was silent.

"Commander, you can't withdraw!" Yang Ruifu, the commander of the first battalion, was a little emotional: "The brothers can still fight, but they can't be cheap little Japan." ”

Xie Jinyuan nodded: "Captain Wu, please go back and convey on behalf of all the officers and men of my first battalion that all my officers and soldiers are determined to fight to the death and swear to live and die with the Sixing Warehouse!" ”

"Commander Xie and the officers and men of the first battalion are determined to resist the war and their battlefield performance, and the people of the whole country have seen it." Wu Jingyi said calmly: "You fought against more than 10,000 Japanese invaders in the land of projectiles, how tragic and impassioned. However, Chief Xie ......"

Wu Jingyi slowly said four words:

"The military order is like a mountain!"

The military order is like a mountain!

Xie Jinyuan fell silent for a moment.

He's a military man!

The military order is like a mountain!

"Sir Xie, our army commander was ordered to cover the retreat of your troops." Wu Jingyi knew that her persuasion had an effect: "At midnight, our army commanded two squads and lined up along Yu Qiaqing Road (Tibet Road). Your troops marched at the speed of a rapid march, crossed Yuqiaqing Road, and entered the public concession all the way through the new garbage bridge. There, Colonel Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Special Operations Office of our military command, will personally pick you up! ”

Yang Ruifu sneered: "I'm a regular army, and I want you to cover with a bunch of spies?" What if you sell it then? ”

Camp Commander Yang said cautiously. Wu Jingyi said lightly: "Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the sacrifices and casualties suffered by our army agents are not inferior to those of the regular army. At the moment of the great enemy, the national crisis is at the head, I still know how to serve the country, and Camp Commander Yang is a man, so why worry about being betrayed? If you are still worried, I am willing to act as a hostage, if my special work is not effective and I retreat, Battalion Commander Yang can shoot me on the spot, so are you satisfied? ”

Yang Ruifu was speechless for a while.

"That's enough." Xie Jinyuan sighed softly: "The matter has come to this, we should cooperate sincerely, and we don't have to be suspicious of each other." Order, all the troops gather their weapons, check the ammunition, and prepare to retreat! ”

"Commander, you can't withdraw!"

A cry rang out.

"Withdraw, I'm the regiment commander, this is a military order! Retreat after midnight, Yang Ruifu, with a squad break! ”

……

In 1936, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession renamed Xizang Road to Yu Qiaqing Road, a wealthy merchant from Ningbo, and became a street named after a Chinese in the Shanghai Public Concession.

This was the only way for the 1st Battalion to withdraw to the Public Concession.

In order to successfully complete the evacuation, the mud mouth bridge has become the top priority.

Once the Japanese found out that the 1st Battalion was ready to evacuate and blocked the Mumikou Bridge from the flank, the 1st Battalion would be completely destroyed.

Meng Shaoyuan mobilized a squad to ensure the safety of Yu Qiaqing Road.

The task of protecting the muddy mouth bridge was entrusted to Wu Chunming's squadron, which was commanded by the military in Shanghai.

Although he was not under the direct command of Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Chunming always regarded Meng Shaoyuan as his great benefactor.

If it weren't for Director Meng, he would still be a singleton and take his son alone, where would he have a daughter-in-law, and where would he have a mouthful of hot rice to eat when he got home?

He, the squadron leader, was also promoted temporarily during the war.

"Fuck." Squad leader Sun Doufu scolded: "Most of them have withdrawn to the public concession, why do you want us to hold here?" ”

"Muttering what?"

Wu Chunming glanced at him: "The task of our squadron is to operate on the outside line, guerrilla warfare, fight against the Japanese army, fight early and fight late, what's the difference?" ”

"Hey, Squadron Leader." Sun Doufu came over: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Meng Shaoyuan, did he find your daughter-in-law for you?" ”

"Do what?"

Sun Doufu smiled: "I heard that Meng Shaoyuan ate well, dressed well, and the military salary was very high, he was killed in battle, and there were many pensions." ”

"yes, yes." Another spy said: "That time, we met with Meng Shaoyuan's squad, good guy, Yishui's shell guns, submachine guns, and machine guns are more powerful than the regular army. As far as our squadron is concerned, it's not enough for a small team to see. ”

Sun Doufu nodded again and again: "Not really." Squadron leader, you have to have this relationship with Meng Shaoyuan, and when this battle is over, think of a way to let us go under him. ”

"Yes." Wu Chunming patted his chest and took it down: "What is the relationship between me and Chief Meng?" Do you know who he hired for me when I got married? It's scared to death for you to say it......"

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu

In the direction of the Sixing warehouse, there was a sudden sound of fierce gunfire.

"Enter the position, enter the position, the four lines of warehouses have broken through!"

……

Midnight, October 30, 1937.

"Salute!"

With Xie Jinyuan's order, the national flag flying on the roof was slowly lowered.

Xie Jinyuan personally kept this national flag, he looked at the time, and his tone was solemn:

"Ready, break out!"

Ready, Break Out!

The military order is like a mountain!

That night, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, which had been holding on to the Sixing Warehouse for four whole days, was ordered to break through!
