Everything was carried out in secret, and when Ito Masaki searched vigorously and took strict precautions, Huya and Shanghai's combat power that could be used gathered into Hongkou in a short period of time.

When he was busy here, Sun Tao's army had already been drawn in the mud.

In order to be able to rush as soon as possible, Sun Tao's army divided its troops into ten routes, opened roads in the mountains, built bridges in the water, and quickly rushed to Shanghai.

It was a column of soldiers who advanced lightly, and the brigade marched along the railway, all the way without committing any crimes, and did not even enter the villages and towns, which made the people on the road nervous and guessed whose team it was.

After the Northern Expedition, Lao Jiang and them beat Sun Chuanfang's baptism, the people along the way here were nervous, but without firing guns, they guessed that this was their own team, and when there would be no war, the team had a long queue and disappeared from sight.

Sun Tao's team was strictly disciplined, the trade was fair along the way, the purchase of goods was carried out outside the village or outside the town, and the payment was made in silver dollars, which relieved the national troops along the way, and at the same time, it also reassured Lao Jiang a lot, although he didn't understand where this army was originally stationed, but it was obviously really rushing to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, not grabbing territory.

Although Sun Tao was in a hurry, but the heavy rain here for several days caused no bridges on the river, all of which were washed away by mountain floods, so the engineer regiment with a very professional and more than the level of the world was looking for a route that could allow the army to advance, and more was to build wooden bridges.

A large number of bridge cables and fasteners along the way also gave the people a lot of income. The reconnaissance battalion of the outpost of the army will contract the ovens here every time they go to a large area or a small county town, and use the hand to build the necessary equipment for building bridges.

Their bridges were built very strongly, none of them were five meters wide, with four layers of timber horizontally and vertically, and the arrangement of the wooden piles was mechanically cohesive and tight. Although it is made of wood, it is absolutely easy to hold on for a year or two, as long as it does not suffer shelling.

This move of theirs was greatly welcomed by the people who passed through, and they built two bridges, which greatly facilitated the local people. Although the road is not as smooth as the main road, it is spacious, straight, and a little smoothed is a passage for deserted villages and small towns to connect with the outside world.

The engineer regiment that built the bridge and built the road had limited tools, except for logging, that is, using explosives to blow up those mountain bags, so laborious, without delaying the infantry to rush to the road, to lay a good foundation for the baggage troops behind. Horses and chariots can pass quickly.

Especially on both sides of the railway, although most of the bridges were washed away and the railway was interrupted, the bridges were repaired to allow tanks to pass, and bridges were built on both sides. Where the river is wide, a pontoon bridge is built, and a squad is left at the head of the bridge to guard it to ensure that the pontoon bridge will not be damaged, but the common people are not allowed to pass.

This was also done to prevent the Japanese from getting involved. There is a risk that this transport supply line will be disrupted, and the river will have to be crossed. It is completely possible to take the bridge repaired on the railway, so the two pontoon bridges cannot be approached.

Sun Tao's expenses were like flowing water, making his heart tremble as a hunter who walked out of the mountains and forests. Fortunately, Liu Rongcheng passed a message to Shao Pang when the army moved, asking Shao Pang to ask Dong Ku to pay for the outdated expenses of the army by the instant noodle factory, and asked the dark hall to assist the army in purchasing matters along the way. Only then did this grain come its own, but the army of vegetables and meat that must be purchased was not embarrassed to eat compressed biscuits every day to survive.

All the fighters are hot-blooded youths and students, they have undergone rigorous training, except that they have not been on the real battlefield, and they do not have the smell of iron and blood on their bodies. Whether it is the mentality or the belief, it is extremely positive and firm. Although they hurried through the mud, no one complained. They strictly carried out the requirements of the training, reconnoitred and armed, and had the right to camp and train along the way.

Their innocent march in the autumn, coupled with the good deeds of building roads and bridges, made the people along the way very supportive, and set up willows to secretly arrange for the people of the dark hall to assist, so that everywhere the army goes, it will absorb young people into the team.

As a result, there was a comical scene behind the rapidly marching brigade, a large army with guns on its back, training while walking, appeared behind the large army. Their daily use is very high, in addition to stimulating the prosperity of the surrounding villages and towns, but also let more young people know that this is a disciplined anti-Japanese team, although they don't know the number of the road, but it does not delay someone to join.

Liu Zhicheng knows very well that this unit has not experienced a major war, and although its personal ability is stronger than the current Japanese army, after saluting the battlefield, the battle losses will be very high, and it is difficult to contain their attrition without experiencing a few major battles. As for the source of troops, if they cannot be reserved, there will be an embarrassing situation in which many units will be completely destroyed, and the command will be in an embarrassing situation where there are no soldiers available.

Although Liu Rongcheng can't command Sun Tao, he is an authority in logistics, and even Sun Tao understands very well that he doesn't ask Dong Ku for instructions on all marching matters, but he wants to ask Liu Rongcheng. Therefore, absorbing fresh blood all the way and going through a minimum of command training before the war, these recruits will barely go to the battlefield after a month.

was able to receive military salaries, so that some young people who lived in hardship also joined the team, although there were not many people absorbed, but it was better than nothing. And Liu Chengcheng knows very well that once the war officially starts and the banner of the advance army is played, there will be more young people along the way who will spontaneously join the advance army, after all, the momentum of the Voice of China has made many people know that the advance army has left such a good impression, and the source of troops will not be a big problem.

Dong Ku didn't know what to do, and he wouldn't stop it if he knew it, but he would be even happier. Although he was a special soldier in later generations and had undergone strict military training, he did not have the experience of leading troops to fight and forming troops, although the rapid increase in the strength of Heilongjiang was caused by the environment, and in the relatively peaceful Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, he could not easily recruit troops.

The army hurried away, the baggage followed behind, and the island was under the dispatch of Liu Chengcheng, and the standard guns, shells and cannons continued to circulate from Crescent Island through Luzon and sent to Hainan Island, in this heavy rain for more than a month, the strategic materials hoarded there have exceeded imagination, and a large number of military uniforms and clothing and other materials have also been transported from Pontianak to Hainan Island.

In order to prepare for the big war and take precautions, Liu Fucheng not only arranged for Shao Pang to open some military factories according to the idea of converting the army to civilian in Dongku, producing military equipment such as clothing, shoes and hats, and tactical vests, but also acquired the surrounding Chinese factories. Produce potions and all kinds of military supplies for the army.

The cutting-edge ones are produced on Crescent Island, but the consumption of these ordinary items is also huge, and at the same time, the transportation of raw materials is reduced to avoid the discovery of Crescent Island, and there is no production of people's livelihood there.

These, according to Dong Ku. After the war, it will become the domestic demand of the people, such as shoes, hats and clothes, etc., only need to reduce some processes and reduce costs, which will be much higher than the shoes on the market now.

Although Dong Ku is not from a business background, the memory of later generations contains too many successful experiences. After being discovered by Liu Chengcheng, he was shocked, and began to prepare for the conversion of the military to the civilian sector according to the development of a self-sufficient military industry. Moreover, he took a more systematic infrastructure as the starting point, and did everything for Dong Ku that he did not consider.

The army set off, and Dong Ku's mind at this time was all on this attack on Hongkou, after he gave Sun Tao an order. I didn't ask again, and searched heavily in Ito Masaki. In the process of taking strict precautions, he took the No. 3 and No. 4 guards and a team of Japanese soldiers with a squad size to put on the Japanese uniforms that had been prepared for a long time, concealed shell guns and daggers, carried 38 large covers, and walked towards an anti-aircraft artillery position.

After making a plan for the attack, he had already mastered the movements of the Japanese army. The number of Japanese troops outside the country skyrocketed. This had a great impact on his actions, and if it was not good, the Japanese army would stick to an action group, and at that time, rescue was a problem.

So. He must make another arrangement in case of re-arrangement.

He led the team to take out a repair team, and in their uniforms, with a squad with tools, walked towards an anti-aircraft artillery position only a kilometer away from the headquarters.

As soon as they approached, one of them, carrying a gun, shouted loudly: "What are you working on? ”

Dong Ku took out his ID, handed it to the sentry, and said in a pure Tokyo accent: "I'm here to overhaul all the anti-aircraft guns." ”

The sentry took the certificate, saw that it was a regular one, and heard Dong Kun's pure accent, stood upright, and said loudly: "Captain Miyamoto has worked hard!" Please come with me. With that, he handed back his papers.

Dong Ku took the certificate, returned the salute, followed the sentry, and entered the anti-aircraft artillery position with a squadron with the guards.

Seeing the lieutenant in charge here, he handed over the documents for maintenance, and several people were not hindered too much, and were led by a military officer to the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that were covered by canvas.

Dong Ku changed into gloves, and after the guards lifted the canvas of the anti-aircraft machine guns, he took one of the guards to overhaul the anti-aircraft machine gun alone, and the others worked in groups to inspect the anti-aircraft guns.

Dong Ku inspected the layout of the place while overhauling the machine gun, and from time to time used gestures to tell the guards to pay attention to a certain point.

He had to find a place to store ammunition and prepare for the upcoming battle.

The two of them skillfully dismantled the anti-aircraft machine guns, so that the Japanese soldiers who followed them were bored and chatted with them without a word. In addition to knowing that these people were from Osaka and Nagasaki with different accents in the course of the exchange, the Japanese army did not find anything wrong with this repair squad for routine maintenance, nor did they find that when Dong Ku installed the anti-aircraft machine gun, he changed the elevation angle of the anti-aircraft machine gun, so that the original anti-aircraft machine gun that could not fire horizontally and down-fire could achieve the level of flat fire.

Dong Ku worked skillfully and quickly, chatting with the Japanese soldiers from time to time, and in the process of getting acquainted with Jun Cao, in his hands, in the process of continuous dismantling, the elevation angles of the four anti-aircraft machine guns were all changed.

The whole repair process lasted more than an hour, and all the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were overhauled, and then he stood up with an oily face and said: "These anti-aircraft weapons that protect our city can be maintained regularly, you see that these mechanical components are lacking lubricating oil, in case there is an enemy aircraft attacking the machinery is damaged, your department will be punished." ”

"Ha Lu Ha! Miyamoto-kun, with your maintenance, we don't need to do it. Jun Cao smiled indifferently.

"Matsushima-kun, if conditions permit here, we can still carry out daily maintenance, once we fight, don't you rely on yourself to maintain it?"

Dong Ku looked helpless, shook his head and said.

The soldier Cao didn't care, and brought gasoline to Dong Ku, told the guards to wash their hands, and sent them out of the position.

When Dong Ku was busy, in the central barracks, several Japanese soldiers were chatting first, walking to the truck and armored car parking area, opening the fuel tanks one by one, checking the fuel level, and a few minutes later, several people hooked their shoulders and walked out of the barracks and disappeared into the flow of people.

At the same time, trucks take off their license plates and park in a ronin-owned repair shop.

This is one of the halls of the dark hall. It is very difficult for the Chinese to survive here, there are almost no Chinese, except for those traitors, and pro-Japanese elements, poor people, almost few.

At this time, sparks were flying in the repair shop, and pieces of steel plates half a centimeter thick were being cut and busy, and the trucks were busy.

Guard No. 1 was busy in the closed workshop with a few Huya team members who had changed into workers' clothes, preparing for the breakthrough plan designed by Dong Ku.

After Dong Ku left here, he once again drove his team to another anti-aircraft artillery position, and then entered it with him, and began to repair the anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft machine guns.

They were very lucky, during the repair process, he, the fake Miyamoto Zenryu, the captain of the repair brigade, did not meet acquaintances, so that his repair process was very smooth, knowing that it was almost dark, he left the high-throw position, and the Japanese army here did not find anything abnormal.

At this time, all the team members were ready, they were either wearing ronin costumes, or suits and leather shoes, and all the positions they were going to arrive at were finished, and they all regretted the repair shop, entered the secret secret door, and waited for the time to attack.

Masaki Ito has been searching for a day without the slightest clue. The more this happened, the more terrified he became. He was now the highest commander in the garrison command, and he did not think that anyone was more suitable than him in terms of the enemy's targets.

Sitting in the command headquarters, he suspected that the guards were thin, and he was restless, so he picked up the phone and gave orders to the elite brigade in his army to be stationed in the headquarters and take strict precautions.

At this point, the garrison of the headquarters has surpassed the two brigades, reaching the number of more than 3,000 people, not to mention the number of people from person to person, but it is also the protection of the three floors in all buildings, and there is no other way than to storm the headquarters.

When the elite brigade arrived, Ito Masaki breathed a sigh of relief, except for ordering Hongkou to go on high alert to meet a possible attack at night, he was no longer worried that the enemy would be able to touch the headquarters and be unfavorable to him. (To be continued......)
