5.8 Time Changes

Xie Jinyuan in the Sixing warehouse was fighting for the country, Xue Yue was in his 19th Group Army headquarters across the Suzhou River, and our Huang Haoran and Huang Army Commander also set foot on the road to Changshu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The current situation in Nanjing no longer leaves room for him to speak as a military commander, and several political forces are engaged in fierce confrontations, and how to continue this war is no longer a military issue, but more like a political issue.

A few strands of white hair appeared on Jiang Baili's head, and Huang Haoran felt a little unbearable, so he chose to return to his troops.

The Ministry of National Defense's reply came down quickly, and it seems that Huang Haoran always stays in Nanjing, and some people are not very satisfied with it for a long time.

Half a month ago, when Huang Haoran came to Jinling, he also took today's road, at that time, the situation of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War was still good, and the 99th Army fought several large and small victories one after another, and killed several Japanese generals, so at that time, although the people that Commander Huang saw along the way were also moving their families, the complexion on their faces was good.

The people all think that China has always lost to little Japan in the past, and that is the sin of civil strife and fear of war in their own government, and now the chairman of the committee is willing to resist the war, plus the lives of the three armed forces, don't you see that the Songhu battlefield today is not a success?

People are thinking in their hearts that if this momentum continues, maybe the war will end before the Spring Festival, and everyone will be able to go home, and some people will bury some of the inconvenient family wealth in the ground before withdrawing, planning to come back after a while to dig it out and use it, but they never thought that only half a month has passed, and the Central Army is actually losing and retreating, and there is no longer the momentum in August.

Looking at the tide of defeat of their own army, the panic of the people began to spread, the most significant change was that people began to carry more and more things, even some bottles and cans were picked up on the road, and no one mentioned those words to go home for the New Year.

In the past half month, the flow of people on this highway from Changshu to Nanjing has been getting bigger and bigger, and Japanese planes have also discovered this valuable bombing target, and the large number of bomb craters left on the road are the masterpieces of these Japanese flies.

There were also some perverted Japanese pilots who liked to dive and strafe on the road, and the dense aviation machine gun bullets hit the crowd and stirred up columns of blood like fountains, and the scene was really like hell on earth.

The dead people have died, but the living people still have to rely on this road to escape, so the burning vehicles and bloody corpses were pushed to both sides of the road, at the beginning there were people digging a pit to bury the dead, and then the Japanese planes came more and more, and the corpses were more and more, and the people gradually became numb.

The corpses of soldiers and civilians littered on the roadside attracted large flocks of crows, and these carrion-eating creatures were perhaps the most welcoming species of the war.

Death, which brought them plenty of food.

Several staff officers of the 99th Army who came to pick up Huang Haoran were very young, and when the convoy first hit the road, they still looked at the tragic situation outside through the windows from time to time.

"Why, just look at it and you can't hold on? The disasters that have befallen the common people today are all the dereliction of duty of our soldiers! Look! A must-see! That's how you remember who you are! Remember what you should be doing! ”

Under Huang Haoran's sharp reprimand, the young staff officers turned their eyes out of the window again, and the people who walked by the car looked at the people in the black car through the window, and they learned the identity of the people in the car from the military uniforms on Huang Haoran and others.

These people are all military men.

There is anger and blame in the eyes of the people, but more importantly, they are puzzled.

How could hundreds of thousands of troops be defeated in such a sparse manner.

The young staff officers' faces began to feel a burning tingle.

There is also a stinging in their hearts.

The closer you get to the boundary of Changshu, the more retreating troops will be mixed in with the flow of people, and several divisions of the Central Army have been withdrawn from Shanghai these days to rest in the rear.

Changshu is a necessary place for these troops.

The army was walking with the people on the road, and the strong smell of blood emanated from the wounds of the wounded soldiers, filling the air, and the morale of these people had already plummeted, and the weapons were straddled indiscriminately, and some simply dragged them, and at a glance they knew that they had lost their souls on the battlefield of Songhu.

The low aura hovered above the road, lingering......

The defeated army is not as good as Kou, and the soldiers have long been unable to remember the bold words they said when they entered Songhu, and there are not a few people who say in their hearts that they should not come to this purgatory at all, and the soldiers have resentment, and their behavior has begun to become casual, arguing with the people, and even robbing property has happened repeatedly, which has aroused the anger of the heavens and people.

A few wounded soldiers in ragged clothes kicked several old men to the ground in front of Huang Haoran's car, and then began to snatch their things, led by an officer with a box gun pinned to his waist and a military hat on his head......

Perhaps, they felt that such a thing was too ordinary, and the officers did not want to take care of it, and they did not bother to take care of it.

Several young men rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, protecting the old people on the ground, these young people seemed to be the juniors of the old man, and two of them wanted to take things back from the wounded soldiers, but the action was a little bigger, and the wounded soldiers fired.

After all, there were too many onlookers, and the troops were not far away, so this shot was fired into the sky and did not hurt anyone.

***************************************************

Since the shooting was fired, this nature has changed, Huang Haoran hates those soldiers who point their guns at the good people the most, the convoy stopped, and Commander Huang walked to the place where the shooting was fired with a few guards and staff officers.

The onlookers were frightened by the sound of gunfire and retreated, and then formed a circle around the periphery, watching from a distance, the guards pushed through the crowd, and Huang Haoran walked in.

Four wounded soldiers and one young man confronted each other inside, and the officer who led the group was no more than a second lieutenant, with a bandage on his left arm and a horrific wound on his face, which had begun to suppurate, and it seemed that he had not been treated for some time.

The second lieutenant's subordinates carried several wooden boxes in their hands, one of which had a red cross painted on it, which turned out to be a medical box.

The young man confronting the wounded soldier appears to be the owner of the medical kit, and he is begging for his belongings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can't beat the Japanese, and you don't have to bully us ordinary people, right? Shanghai, behind your back! If Your Excellency is lying on the land of Shanghai, I, Xi Guangpeng, will try my best to cure Your Excellency, but unfortunately, you are going in the wrong direction! ”

"Dog's day! Lao Tzu just wants your medicine box! What's wrong? A few of our brothers were also wounded in the battle with Little Japan in Shanghai, and I can afford you with your medicine! Lao Tzu not only wants your medicine today, but also your people! You obediently follow and treat your brothers' wounds, otherwise you will be rewarded with a gun! ”

"My medicine only treats the heroes of the anti-Japanese war, and will never be used on you ruffians!"

"Damn! I don't know how to lift! ”

The officer grabbed the young doctor named Xi Guangpeng by the collar with his left hand, and raised his right hand high, looking at the posture in annoyance.

The raised slap did not fall, Huang Haoran's guard grabbed the second lieutenant officer's arm, and the wounded soldier next to him immediately raised the weapon in his hand and aimed at the comer.

When the wounded soldiers saw Huang Haoran coming out of the crowd clearly, they were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.

Two stars! It's actually a lieutenant general!

Such a character is a heaven-like existence in front of them, as long as the general in front of them detains a charge of harassing the people and robbing property, the lives of several people will be returned to heaven immediately, and no one will come to shout for them.

The wounded soldiers are now in a very worried mood.

"You are not ashamed to return things to others and rob your own people's things?"

The second lieutenant officer was already willing, but some of the several wounded soldiers behind him did not agree:

"Sir! We also have no choice, there is no medicine in the army for a long time, and a few of us are injured, if we don't treat it, there will be no way to live. Raise up your noble hand, sir. Let go of our brothers, we also fought with the little devils, but now no one cares about us! In order to survive, you can only offend! ......”

Since the Anti-Japanese War, the amount of donations from the people of the whole country has already exceeded 10 million, but such a large sum of money cannot be exchanged for the medicine that the officers and soldiers need most.

Fighting with devils and wounded soldiers have to find their own way to survive, what is going on!?

"Brothers! I know you are wronged, but we are soldiers, and soldiers should protect their people with their chests, and the weapons given to us by the state are used to defend against foreign humiliation, and we can't face our own people! Don't lose the face of the Chinese soldiers! ”

The weapons of the wounded soldiers were slowly put down, and the soldiers had a sense of honor, even if they were the big soldiers who caught the strong men, and they had been in the army for a while, they also understood some truths.

Perhaps it was the wound that had been touched by the action, and one of the wounded soldiers fell to the ground, blood pouring out of the sleeve of his coat and dripping down the shaft of his rifle.

The second lieutenant officer pounced, shook his fallen brother vigorously, and screamed desperately: "Wake up! Two sunspots! Don't fucking sleep! Lao Tzu took you from Shanghai to here, and it seems that you are about to go to a safe place, don't pretend to be a bear, we have all come here in the rain of bullets, and there are only a few of us left in the forty-one brothers, as Lao Tzu said, I want to take you home! I'm going to take you home!! ......”

The second lieutenant officer's tears were actually bloody, and the wounded soldiers under his command were crying like tearful people.

No one cared about them, only his platoon commander stayed, the platoon commander's injuries were not serious, and he could follow the large army first, but the platoon commander was reluctant to let the remaining brothers in the platoon go.

Seeing such a scene, the hatred in the eyes of the onlookers also faded, and all that was left was respect.

"Yes . . . I'm sorry brothers, I... I don't know......."

The young doctor Xi Guangpeng didn't expect things to turn out like this, he picked up the military hat that the second lieutenant officer had dropped when he pounced on his brother just now, and wanted to return it to the second lieutenant officer.

Huang Haoran walked up and took it, he carefully looked at the military hat in his hand, the traces of blood stains and gunsmoke were so obvious, this was a military hat of a Chinese soldier who shed his blood on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

Although the owner of this military hat has become a little depressed for some reason, and even stretched out his hand to his own people, after all, he has also shed blood on the battlefield of Songhu.

What other fault cannot be repaid by blood?

Huang Haoran put the military hat in his hand back on the head of the second lieutenant platoon commander, and said calmly:

"Soldiers, you have to shed blood, sweat and tears, take your brother to Changshu, there is a hospital of the 99th Army, you will be well taken care of......"

The second lieutenant platoon commander was very excited, and his face was already washed with tears.

"Sir, I also want to go to the 99th Army garrison in Changshu, can you give me a ride? I'm a doctor who came back from abroad, and I want to be a military doctor for our ace army, and I can also help take care of these brothers along the way. ”

Xi Guangpeng heard Huang Haoran say the 99th Army, and then looked at Huang Haoran's rank, he knew that this lieutenant general must have some relationship with the 99th Army, and maybe he could add some help to him to join the 99th Army, Huang Haoran looked at Xi Guangpeng, who was wearing gold wire glasses, nodded and agreed.

A sudden conflict subsided, Huang Haoran's convoy began to hit the road again, with the scene just now, the army and the people on the road became more harmonious, after all, they are all compatriots.

**************************************************

When it was almost dark, Huang Haoran arrived in Changshu City, the footsteps of the Japanese were getting louder and louder, and Changshu City began to implement a curfew.

Fan Jie's work is still in place, and the 99th Army is well organized under his dispatch, but Shen Lao Er still doesn't listen to Fan Jie as always, and Fan Chief of Staff has no problem with Shen Yuanlong, the "imperial relative", but fortunately, Shen Lao Er doesn't dare to come nonsense in military affairs, he is still afraid that Huang Haoran will come back and kick his ass.

Huang Haoran had a few wounded soldiers and Xi Guangpeng sent to the hospital of the logistics department, which was where they should go, and then Commander Huang went to his military headquarters.

What Commander Huang didn't expect was that he had only been seen for half a month, and his military headquarters had become a pile of ruins, and some officers and soldiers guarding here told their military commander that during an air raid seven or eight days ago, the military headquarters was directly hit by a Japanese bomb, and Chief of Staff Fan had already moved directly into the permanent fortifications on the national defense line with the personnel of the military headquarters.

Huang Haoran didn't expect that his wartime headquarters would be put into use under such a situation, and he was sighing, Fan Jie brought someone to pick up his military seat.

Huang Haoran also entered his command post on the Wufu (Suzhou-Fushan) line for the first time. Ritchie, a German, presided over the design of the command post, and the underground military headquarters of the 99th Army naturally had a strong German color, and if an iron cross was hung up, it would be even more complete.

The underground military headquarters is at least 7 or 8 meters from the ground, with bright chandeliers, huge sand tables and war chess deduction rooms.

Huang Haoran was most satisfied with the sand table in the headquarters hall, and those plane markers on the map were displayed in front of him for the first time, and Huang Haoran felt a little excited for no reason.

From 1934 onwards, the Nanjing government successively used Yangcheng Lake and Dianshan Lake to build the main position - Wufu (Suzhou-Fushan) line, and the rear position between Jiangyin and Wuxi - Xicheng Line, and at the same time built the Zhajia line between Zhapu and Jiaxing to connect with the Wufu line.

Feng. On Rich's sand table, these three defense lines are also the top priority, and the marks representing fortifications and firepower points are inserted everywhere, especially this section near Changshu, which is more detailed than Oh Zhu, after more than half a year of operation, the defense depth of this section of the defense line in charge of the 99th Army has been more than doubled, and the density of fortifications is also the highest on the Wufu line.

Fan Jie saw that Huang Haoran could see it, so he walked to Huang Haoran's side and whispered: "Military seat, this section of our 99th Army's defense is really an impregnable wall now, in the past six months, the engineering troops have built 176 permanent fortifications alone, the cement machine gun positions and traffic trenches are simply dense like spider webs, there is a main defensive position every other section, our tens of thousands of troops can hide no traces on the defensive line, no, the Japanese also smell the wind, The devil agents and traitors sent to spy don't know how many have been arrested by the secret service these days, Sasaki and Park Zhengxiong are busy with Xu Xinghua, and the ghosts are crying wolves every day in the interrogation room. ”

"By the way, Chief of Staff Fan, what's going on with the military department?"

"It's not a traitor's secret, the person has been caught by the secret service, fifty pieces of ocean, and he sent a signal to the Japanese plane, what a slut! Thanks to Xu Xinghua, he saw that something was wrong, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss! ”

Fan Jie's answer did not surprise Huang Haoran, the reason why he established the secret service was to deal with these devil agents and traitors, but unfortunately, after all, he was still a hundred secrets, and even his own military department was defeated.

An important reason for the successive defeats of the Chinese army in the early days of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was the extreme disadvantage on the underground battlefield.

The agents of the "military command" have always attached more importance to the inside than to the outside, and they usually focus their energies on the so-called 'troublemakers,' and they have been hastily collecting together in the war, but of course they cannot find anything useful.

China has no source of intelligence inside the enemy, but Japan's spy on the enemy inside China is extremely active, sending signals, collecting information, setting off fireworks, and guiding enemy planes to bomb, artillery fire, and army attacks, almost everywhere.

The Japanese are well aware of the situation in China's coasts, towns, and villages, and some of them know more than the Chinese authorities themselves.

On the Songhu battlefield, the Chinese army suffered a lot of hidden losses among these traitors and enemy agents.

Engaging in underground work is not something that Huang Haoran can afford to play as a military commander, and only when Director Dai Lidai is completely conscious will it be the time for China's secret agents to turn over.

With the strength of the 99th Army to fight against the entire Japanese secret service, Huang Haoran is not crazy, so naturally he will not think like this, he just wants to make the devil traitor unable to enter on his own one-third of an acre.

Even such a request has not been fulfilled so far.....

"What are the losses of the military headquarters in air strikes?"

"3 staff officers and staff were killed, 9 were wounded, and part of the document map was lost, I felt that there were too many people in Changshu City, and it was not safe to move the military headquarters anywhere, and it just happened that the underground headquarters here was finished, so I took it upon myself to move the military headquarters over, and I hope that the military seat will not be blamed."

"You made a good decision, how could I blame you? But you have to remember to tell Xu Xinghua that while the little devil hasn't come to the door yet, clean up your yard first, I don't want the backyard to catch fire when there is a war. ”

Fan Jie agreed, turned to leave, and Huang Haoran continued to look at the several areas marked by the battle on the sand table.

Sihang Warehouse, a six-storey cement building, stands alone on the other side of the river in the concession.

Feng. Rich, the German, was really careful, and deliberately made a small model to represent the Sixing warehouse, which seems to have been a heroic thing for him to do.

I don't know what the current situation of Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes is......
