On the way back, Ning Zhiheng sat in the car and kept looking out the window without saying a word.

Zhao Ziliang was also in a heavy mood, and two of his cronies were also on the list of killed this time, and the casualties this time were so heavy that they were completely unexpected.

According to the source, the casualties of the Einsatzgruppen were even greater, and many of them had already died before they could put on the military uniforms they were issued, and the Japanese aircraft artillery and tank machine guns formed a three-dimensional battlefield strike, and they were several times better equipped than the national army, and the national army was completely using the flesh and blood of the soldiers to resist the artillery fire poured by the other side.

Wang Shucheng's sacrifice was sudden, he led his troops to defend on the defensive position on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, and was hit by the machine gun fire of the Japanese plane, the machine gun bullet was so lethal that he did not have time to react at all, and died on the spot.

He did not leave a last word, and the logistics staff only collected a set of military uniforms and a few personal belongings that he usually wore at the station, and sent them back, which had to be delivered to his family.

Back at the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, Ning Zhiheng returned to his office, locked the door, and sat in the seat in a daze.

Wang Shucheng is the first to leave his brothers and comrades-in-arms, Ning Zhiheng's feelings are particularly profound, Wang Shucheng is kind, very sympathetic, for the irrelevant Liang Shi'an family, he did not hesitate to intercede with Ning Zhiheng many times, and finally with his efforts, he finally saved Liang Shi'an and saved his family.

He has a good character, has always been resistant to some styles of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and yearns for a real military career, but he did not expect that the first time he went to the battlefield, he would kill himself and go young!

Thinking about the bits and pieces of Wang Shucheng's past, I couldn't help but feel sad and sad, and sat quietly for a long time!

At this time, the phone rang, which made Ning Zhiheng come back to his senses, he picked up the phone, and this time it was Huang Xianzheng calling.

"Zhiheng, come to me!"

"Yes!"

Ning Zhiheng stood up, stabilized his mind, sorted out the military uniform on his body, and then walked out of the office quickly.

As soon as he came to the door of Huang Xianzheng's office, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and Ning Zhiheng looked back and saw that it was Huo Yueze.

It seems that Huang Xianzheng also summoned him, the two of them looked at each other and nodded, Ning Zhiheng knocked on the door, Secretary Yu opened the door, and whispered to Ning Zhiheng: "The director is not in a good mood." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded and followed Secretary Yu into Huang Xianzheng's office.

At this time, Huang Xianzheng was walking around the office anxiously with an angry face, and when he saw Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze coming in, he said directly: "He's going to turn his face!" He even asked our Baoding Department to send people to Shanghai again, and also named the two of you to go, especially Zhiheng! ”

Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze were shocked, Huang Xianzheng said that he must be seated.

Huang Xianzheng then explained the matter to the two of them clearly, it turned out that the war on the front line was tense, and the officers of the Einsatzgruppen had suffered too many losses, so in order to supplement the lack of officers and cadres on the front line, the department decided to mobilize the second batch of officers to be urgently transferred to the front line in Shanghai.

But this time, everyone knew that the battle was unexpectedly tragic and the casualties were too heavy, and Huang Xianzheng and Shen Xun were unwilling to throw their men into this bottomless pit again.

As a result, the three of them quarreled directly in the office, and in the end, they were still arbitrary and directly ordered to transfer, otherwise they would be punished for disobeying military orders, which was to put the contradiction directly on the table, and put it on the top with real knives and guns.

There is no room for relief this time, and the seat bluntly said that if you can't help each other in the same boat, then you will tear your face, in the end it is the military commander, Huang Xianzheng and Shen Xun finally gave in.

In particular, Ning Zhiheng, the main backbone of the Baoding department, must participate in the roll call, in order to serve as an example for other officers, and this time the seat will also lead a large number of cronies to personally supervise the battle.

It can be said that he has put all the forces that can be mobilized into it, and he has gone all out, and you can imagine how determined he is this time, and with his strong character, he will never allow anyone to disobey his decision.

Ning Zhiheng heard Huang Xianzheng's narration, his heart was surprisingly calm, without the slightest fear, he has always tried his best to avoid this big war, with a heart of evasion, and even when he was performing a hoe and rape mission in Shanghai, he also calculated carefully, suffering from gains and losses.

But when it came to the end, he didn't feel fear, since the military order is like a mountain, you can't disobey, you can't escape, then you just stand up and face it, in the end, he is not a person who escapes and is afraid of death, but he has too many worries in his heart, too many worries, so he can't help but look forward and backward, and now there is no way to retreat, and his mood is relaxed.

A few days ago, the scene of 200 officers setting off for the front line in full gear still clearly appeared in my mind, since they could die generously, they were sorry for themselves, and Wang Shucheng's words when he left were still ringing in his ears at this time!

"You and I are both soldiers, we should have fought on the battlefield, even if it is a sacrifice, there is no complaint!"

Ning Zhiheng himself is not an only son, he has sent his family to Chongqing before, and left enough property to protect their lives, and now his senior brother Wei Liangbi is also serving in Chongqing, with his ability, he can naturally take care of his family for himself, not to mention his own teacher He Feng, although he has no real power, but he has a wide network in the Baoding department, and he has a lot of friends, so it is not difficult to say hello casually and protect the safety of his family.

As Wang Shucheng said, if you don't have anything to worry about, what are you afraid of? The boy's blood is sprinkled on the field!

Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry, since the military order has been issued, we have no choice, we must carry it out, and it may not be okay to go to the battlefield, the hundreds of thousands of elites of the national army still have the power to compete!" ”

Seeing that Ning Zhiheng was fearless and indifferent, Huo Yueze was also bold, and he also nodded and agreed: "We are also Whampoa Military Academy students, are we still afraid of war, you can rest assured, we will never embarrass you!" ”

"Good!" Huang Xianzheng said loudly, he looked at these two young subordinates, and faced them with emotion, without the slightest fear, and couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied, although preserving strength is one thing, but it is even more gratifying for soldiers to be loyal to defend the country.

"This time, I argued with the seat, and he finally agreed, both of you have entered the special service brigade of the special team, this special service team is mostly the foundation of our military intelligence department, and they are all elite, but when defending the north bank of Suzhou Creek this month, there were a lot of losses, Wang Shucheng was sacrificed in this defensive battle, and now he has withdrawn to Nanshi to rest and temporarily cooperate with General Zhang Zhengkui to defend Pudong.

The seat is reluctant to consume these elites on the frontal battlefield, so they are arranged in a defensive position, so the chance of survival is much greater, but even so, after you go, you must pay more attention, and if you see that things are wrong, don't hold on, after all, we are just agents, don't be too heroes! Huang Xianzheng still habitually said, these two people are the backbone of his Baoding department, especially Ning Zhiheng, who is his confidant and favorite general, if he is lost on the battlefield, he is really reluctant.

"Yes, don't worry!" Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze replied in unison.

Ning Zhiheng and Huo Yueze withdrew from Huang Xianzheng's office, and hurriedly went back to prepare, Huang Xianzheng gave them a ventilation, so the official appointment order would be issued immediately.

Sure enough, just an hour later, Zhao Ziliang called him to the office and officially informed him that among the second batch of officers, the personnel of the action section were the mainstay, among which Ye Zhiwu, the leader of the second action group, and Ning Zhiheng, the leader of the fourth action group, were ordered to be transferred to Shanghai.

This time the operation department is broken, which makes Zhao Ziliang also heartbroken, he has just lost two cronies of the officer, and now he has to send his two action team leaders to the front line, Ning Zhiheng is his most powerful subordinate, and Ye Zhiwu is his closest confidant, this time they were both named to go to Shanghai, and they were unwilling in their hearts, but this time they gave a death order, and personally went to Shanghai to supervise the battle, Zhao Ziliang was reluctant, and he could only admit it.

Ning Zhiheng's next thing was to choose a team to accompany him, he hesitated again and again, but he still chose Sun Jiacheng's second team.

In this action team, there are four officers, Sun Jiacheng, Zuo Gang, Zuo Qiang, and Shen Ling, all of whom are extremely capable assistants, among whom Sun Jiacheng and the Zuo brothers are their absolute henchmen, and if they can have a force that absolutely obeys the command on the battlefield, the possibility of survival will be greatly enhanced.

He summoned his officers and informed him of the order, and at the same time asked Zhao Jiang, the leader of the first action team, to temporarily act as the team officer, and the second action team to prepare and leave at any time.

This sudden order made everyone not react for a while.

Ning Zhiheng continued: "The Einsatzgruppen has suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the losses, Wang Shucheng, the former captain of the first action team, has died on the north bank of Suzhou Creek in four days, we go this time, the possibility of sacrifice is also very high, everyone arrange their own things as soon as possible, and be ready to set off at any time!" ”

Everyone's hearts trembled, especially the news of Wang Shucheng's death, which made them not only sad for the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, but also clearly felt the threat of death.

When the meeting was disbanded, Ji Hongyi, deputy leader of the first task force, stood up and said, "Team leader, I ask to participate in this operation. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding officers were all in shape, and their eyes were focused on Ji Hongyi, this colleague had just joined the fourth action group, except for Sun Jiacheng, everyone was not very familiar with him.

Ning Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ji Hongyi, and said, "Hongyi, this time the battle is too dangerous, so don't participate in it for the time being." ”

But Ji Hongyi took a step forward and insisted: "Team leader, I am from Shanghai, this time to defend Shanghai and my hometown, I should naturally make a contribution, and ask the team leader to complete it." ”

Ji Hongyi really wanted to return to his hometown to fight, after all, there were his relatives there, as well as his division commander and brothers for many years, and he had been worried about their safety since the war began.

Ning Zhiheng thought about it, Ji Hongyi is a disciple of the Shanghai Youth Gang, not only is he familiar with the terrain, but many of the members of the Einsatzgruppen are members of the Green Gang, so it may be more convenient to take Ji Hongyi to do things.

"Alright! You're also ready and ready to go! Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.

"Yes!" Ji Hongyi immediately gave a standard military salute, and during this period of time, he adapted to his identity very quickly, and his actions and behaviors were carefully studied by the colleagues around him, and he had a military style.
