Liu Goat's plan to go to the black market to sell guns did not have the opportunity and time to be implemented, because before dawn the next day, someone from the regiment headquarters came, and it was Liu Xi, a communications soldier from the regiment, who came to convey the regiment's orders. "What? If you don't replenish our troops, why do you want us to defend what flank positions? Don't you look at how many of us are left? Liu Goat scolded angrily, but even though Liu Goat roared at the top of his throat, Liu Xi, who was riding a bicycle, still left without looking back.

"Lianza, what should we do now?" Although Xie Bo had recommended Liu Goat to take over his command of the Second Company, Liu Goat still habitually asked Xie Bo for his idea. The position given in the regiment is the flank of the flank, if strictly speaking, it is far away from the downtown area of Shanghai, and the second company now has only more than 30 people left, and half of them are wounded with limited mobility.

"Since it's an order from above, it's not easy for us to disobey, don't we just have two trucks, bring the batch of weapons and ammunition found in Tang Cheng, let's all go over, although we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, we can still do it by staying on duty all night or helping to reload the bullets." After Xie Bo carefully looked at the map, he already had a plan in his heart, but Liu Goat couldn't hide something in his heart, and now told him his judgment, Xie Bo was afraid that Liu Goat would not pay attention and said nothing.

Liu Goat is brave in battle, but after all, he was born in a reckless manner, and it may be okay to command a platoon, but when it comes to the overall situation, he is still a little lacking. The order of the regiment was to garrison the disabled second company to garrison a road that was not a key point, if according to the ordinary people's thinking, the second company was not to be seen and assigned, but Xie Bo was not an ordinary person, after he carefully looked at the map, he determined that this order was not to be exiled or not to see the second company, and entrusted the second company with a heavy responsibility.

The battle has been fought to this extent, and anyone with a little brain knows that the defeat of the Nationalist army in Shanghai is a foregone conclusion, and according to the consistent fighting style of the Nationalist army, it should be time to retreat. The 88th Division was the first unit to enter Shanghai, and it was also a descendant of the national government, and there were many troops in the 88th Division who were disabled like the second company, and the national government would not watch its descendants be exhausted in Shanghai. Therefore, Xie Bo judged that the road where the second company was assigned to garrison would not be a useless place, and once the troops began to withdraw from Shanghai, that road would inevitably become the escape route of the 88th Division, and the highway node where the second company was stationed was the most important thing.

"Don't say it, you must follow us, and I'll tell you the reason later." saw that Tang Cheng had something to say, but Xie Bo couldn't take care of him now, maybe Xie Bo's subconscious was deliberately trying to prevent Tang Cheng from leaving. After getting the order from the regiment, the rest of the people in the second company took action, and the helpless Tang Cheng couldn't just watch idleness, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and helped load the car and help the wounded to board the car. In addition to the sidearms that everyone brought down to the battlefield and the weapons and ammunition found in the basement, the Second Company only had some food and bedding sent by Shanghai citizens spontaneously, but after half an hour of busyness, all the things and people were loaded.

"Let's find a place to get some food and medicine first, if the place we go to is not equipped to get these things, what will happen to the wounded?" Without waiting for Liu Goat to give the order to set off, Tang Cheng opened his mouth first. Material supplies are the basis for ensuring victory in the battle, this is what Robert once said to Tang Cheng. Especially in the positional defensive battle, the replenishment of material supplies is even more important, Tang Cheng didn't know where the highway node in the Lu Dao order was, but listening to Liu Goat shouting that it was already out of Shanghai, so Tang Cheng subconsciously thought that he had to prepare food and necessary supplies first.

"Oh" Liu Goat was interrupted by Tang Cheng before he could speak, but he was not angry, but glanced at Xie Bo, especially Xie Bo was secretly happy in his heart. Tang Cheng took the initiative to help carry things and help the wounded to board the car, which was nothing, but Tang Cheng's words just now were for the second company to consider, right or wrong, at least this is a good beginning, indicating that Tang Cheng has slowly begun to integrate into the second company, because he has begun to consider the problem from the perspective of the second company.

"Tang Cheng is right, we need to prepare some supplies first, the cost of dozens of people eating horses is not small, and the province will run out of food when the time comes, waiting for others to come to help our second company." Xie Bo had spoken, and Liu Goat, who was unwilling, couldn't say anything more, and under Tang Cheng's guidance, the truck with black smoke in its tail galloped up the street. It was still early in the morning, and the shops in downtown Shanghai were not open at all, but it was not difficult for Tang Cheng, who was familiar with Shanghai, and the lead car driven by Nian Zi drove to Zhabei District, which had been burned to ruins by the fire, under the guidance of Tang Cheng.

"This is what a friend of mine said, it's a warehouse for stockpiling things, and I think we should be able to find what we need here." Tang Cheng familiarly took Liu Goat and they came to a house that had been burned beyond recognition. Although Liu Goat was suspicious of Tang Cheng's words, he still knocked open the charred black door at Tang Cheng's signal, and the outside of the house had been burned to a very dilapidated point, and after entering the house, Liu Goat and the others found that everything had been burned to ashes.

"Don't look at me, I just know that this is a warehouse, and I've never been in it before." Standing in a charred house, Tang Cheng spread out his double watch and was innocent, but he didn't tell a lie. The reason why Tang Hui knew that Lu Dao here was also from Mao Wu's mouth, this was originally a warehouse where merchants hoarded Juqi, Tang Cheng didn't know that Lu Dao would also be burned by the fire, and he was completely trying his luck when he came here, and he didn't know anything about the situation in the warehouse.

The undying Tang Cheng rummaged through the ashes of the house to see if he could still find anything to take away, and the mill put away his rifle to help rummage. It's a pity that the fire seems to have burned a little thoroughly, and the wooden boxes that were originally placed in the house were burned so that they couldn't see the original appearance. "Well, it tastes good, it's still beef." Liu Goat took out a box of black canned beef from the ashes, picked it open with a bayonet, and then cut a lump with the tip of the knife and stuffed it into his mouth.

"So what do we do now?" Niu Wazi asked a little anxiously while picking up the canned food that could still be eaten, the sky is about to dawn, Shanghai is now full of soldiers, Liu Goat, they drove into the houses in military vehicles, military uniforms and weapons, strictly speaking, they are robbery with open fire, and they will be shot if they are found by the military police. What else can I do? There is nothing in this place, so I can only leave here and talk about it, Liu Goat glared at Tang Cheng angrily, especially the grinding is even more painful to come here Lang Fei's oil.

didn't have the courage to refute Liu Goat directly, Tang Cheng could only mumble in a low voice to vent his dissatisfaction, but he just kept his mouth shut because he was afraid that Liu Goat would listen to him. "Let's get on the road first, there will always be a way." Xie Bo, who learned of this, said with a smile indifferently, "The order of the regiment headquarters is to rush there today to take over the defense, don't delay things for these things, you all know the temper of the regiment commander." ”

After Liu Goat and the others entered the house, Xie Bo, who was lying in the carriage, thought carefully about this order in the regiment, it is said that his second company has been beaten and there are only more than 30 people left, and such a thing as guarding the retreat channel should not be handed over to the second company to do, but now the regiment has handed over this task to the second company, and this is where he wonders. Although he is an officer from Huangpu, there are not a few officers from Huangpu in the 524 Regiment, and Huang Yaocheng, the commander of the third company, is the hometown of the regiment commander. Isn't this task as simple as you think?

But in any case, the order has been issued, and he who is still commanding the second company for the time being can only act in accordance with the orders of the regimental headquarters, otherwise he and the more than 30 brothers under his command will become deserters who disobey the military order. But if they follow the orders of the regiment headquarters to guard the highway node, with their remaining 30 or so wounded soldiers, I am afraid that they will only be more than lucky, Xie Bo is not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but he will not lead his brothers to die in vain, fortunately, Tang Cheng found a batch of weapons and ammunition in the dilapidated building, Xie Bo's heart is a little better.

The second company now has a small number of guns, and the big deal is to catch strong men in the middle of the road and temporarily recruit people, wasn't Tang Cheng pulled to fight with the Japanese army for two days and two nights a month ago. Beckoning Liu Goat and them to get into the car, Xie Bo asked Niu Wazi to take out the map and began to teach Tang Cheng to use military maps. Military maps are not the same as common ordinary maps, ordinary maps are generally traffic maps, and military ones are called topographic maps, on which various features and landforms are marked in detail, in addition to latitude and longitude coordinates and plane Cartesian coordinates, there are geomagnetic field north-south indication lines, which can be used conveniently for the north arrow.

In addition, the mountains on the ordinary map are marked with one name at most, while the mountains in the military map are also specially marked with contour lines, and the altitude of the mountains is clear, which is very suitable for using the terrain to cooperate with the planning of the battle. Robert was a former soldier, but unfortunately he didn't teach Tang Cheng how to use military maps, and Robert couldn't get military maps for Tang Cheng. Xie Bo is obviously a very good teacher, Tang Cheng, who came into contact with military maps for the first time, didn't understand anything, Xie Bo was very patient to teach him to read the map little by little.

At this time, Tang Cheng had been completely immersed in the things that Xie Bo was teaching him, and it was not very difficult to master the military map, Xie Bo took advantage of the time to teach Tang Cheng the means of surviving on the battlefield and saving his life. Liu Goat didn't know why Xie Bo wanted to teach Tang Cheng this, but seeing that Xie Bo's interest was so high, Liu Goat didn't say anything to stop it, and sometimes he would interject a sentence or two.
