Ferguson stood proudly in front of the queue in a brigadier uniform. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion is a reinforced battalion with four infantry companies, a heavy machine gun company, an anti-aircraft artillery company and a guard platoon, with more than 600 people.

Because it has been discussed to fight side by side, Ferguson can't help but become arrogant again, thinking that your lone army camp can only steal chickens and dogs after all, and when it comes to fighting tough battles, it has to be our Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, Ferguson even began to think in his heart, after receiving the weapon later, why not take the opportunity to disarm the lone army camp first?

It's just a pity that Ferguson is just a fantasy after all.

Xu Rui walked over with a smile and said to Ferguson: "The military appearance is good. ”

Fergus's chin was raised and his nostrils were turned upward, "We are the Royal Infantry Battalion." ”

After a pause, Ferguson continued: "By the way, the weapons and equipment can be returned to us, right?" ”

"I'm afraid not." Xu Rui refused without hesitation, and then directly picked out the insidious thoughts in Ferguson's heart, and said with a smile, "At this time, I will return the weapon to you, what if you suddenly turn the muzzle of the gun and attack our lonely military camp?" Guarding against people is indispensable, isn't it? ”

Ferguson said angrily: "You are an insult to the English gentleman, the contract spirit of our English gentleman is world-famous, you must apologize for your rudeness just now!" ”

Xu Rui just said twice, the contract spirit of the British gentleman? Don't be funny.

Ferguson was still unrelenting, Xu Rui didn't say much, just beckoned, and one hundred and ten officers and soldiers of the lone army battalion with loaded guns immediately poured out on both sides, and more than a dozen machine guns were set up on the balcony on the second floor of the dormitory and around the playground, and all the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the officers and soldiers of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion lined up.

Seeing this, Ferguson immediately obediently closed his mouth.

At this time, Ferguson remembered that they were still fish on the chopping board.

At this time, Ferguson remembered that the Chinese actually had a way out, they could have walked away, and even now it was too late, but the British had no way out, and the Chinese would not restore their freedom before leaving, and would still detain them here, so after the arrival of the Japanese, they would definitely die.

Xu Rui took a step forward, and Ferguson learned to be obedient this time, and immediately obediently stepped aside.

Xu Rui coughed lightly, Leng Jun's gaze swept over the dozen or so British battalion commanders, battalion deputies, company commanders, and company deputies in front of the queue, and then said in English: "I will announce a decision first, your position has been relieved." ”

More than a dozen British officers looked at each other, and Ferguson couldn't help but shout again: "Oh? Sacked? ”

"Yes, dismissal." Xu Rui said coldly, "It's okay if you don't agree, if you don't agree, we will not force it." ”

Ferguson closed his mouth again, no way, it is really their little lives in the hands of the Chinese, they can't not listen to them, otherwise the Chinese will throw their hands and leave, they will be finished.

Ferguson obediently left the queue with a dozen British officers and walked to the side.

Xu Rui said to Ferguson again: "Your Excellency, General, I'm afraid you have to give another order." ”

It is true that the Gurkha people are loyal, but they are now only loyal to the British, and they will never obey Xu Rui's orders without Ferguson's orders.

Although Ferguson was full of reluctance, he still walked to the front of the queue of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion and said: "Listen, from now on, Commander Xu is your supreme commander, his order is my order, he tells you to charge, you will never be allowed to retreat, he let you retreat, you will never be allowed to move forward, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Yesu!" More than 600 Gurkha mercenaries snapped their feet and responded with a bang.

"Alright, you can go." Xu Rui waved his hand to signal Ferguson to leave, and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm afraid I have to grieve you for a few hours, and before the battle is over, I can only lock you up first." After speaking, Xu Rui turned his head and ordered the soldiers of the lonely army camp who were on guard around him, "Lock them up." ”

Immediately, a lone group of soldiers from the battalion stepped forward and escorted Ferguson and a dozen British officers away.

Only then did Xu Rui turn around and say to the Gurkha mercenaries lined up: "Officers above the platoon, please step forward." ”

More than forty officers immediately took a step forward, all of them were strong and strong young men from Gurkha, looking at Xu Rui with perseverance and absolute obedience, for these poor children from the bitter cold land at the southern foot of the West Malayas Mountains, loyalty has been integrated into their bone marrow.

Xu Rui selected more than a dozen Gurkha officers from among them and appointed them as company commanders and company deputies, and the vacant platoon commanders and platoon deputies selected more than a dozen soldiers to serve temporarily, and the command system of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion was immediately restored, but there was nothing to do with the British in this command system.

Xu Rui immediately ordered several company commanders to take their troops to the warehouse to receive weapons.

In five minutes, the officers and soldiers of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion received their weapons and relined the line, at this time, the remaining companies of the Lone Battalion also joined the queue, Xu Rui left one company to garrison the barracks, and then led the remaining three companies and the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion to the cross-border road construction position.

The cross-border road construction here does not refer to a specific road, but to the roads built by the concession authorities outside the boundary, and then obtained the right to govern the roads from the previous Manchu Qing Dynasty and the subsequent Beiyang government, in other words, the management of these roads belongs to the concession authorities, but the area outside the roads is under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government.

This has also caused chaos in the cross-border road construction and the surrounding areas, because criminals who commit crimes in cross-border road construction only need to make one stop on both sides of the road, and the concession patrol will have nothing to do with them, on the contrary, if they commit a crime in the Chinese border, the criminals only need to run to the cross-border road construction, and the Chinese police will not be able to do anything about them.

Therefore, cross-border road construction is the most chaotic place in Shanghai, a real place outside the law!

There are 40 cross-border roads in Shanghai, 28 of which are in western Shanghai.

Among them, the two roads that the lone army camp focuses on fortifying are Laubertson Road and Baili South Road.

When Xu Rui led the main force of the lone battalion and the Gurkha royal infantry battalion to the position, the company led by Yang Rui had already built a complete fortification, and the sniper platoon led by Xie Yuan had already built dozens of sniper positions on the rooftops of houses, western-style buildings, and factories on both sides of the cross-border road.

As soon as Xu Rui led the troops, Xie Yuan and Yang Rui immediately greeted them.

Looking at the Gurkha mercenaries who entered the defensive position, Yang Rui smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that these British would really fight side by side with us." ”

Yang Rui felt very unreal, two days ago they were fighting the British to the death, but two days later, they were fighting side by side with the British, this is too fake, right?

Xu Rui smiled and asked Xie Yuan: "Camp Chief Xie, how is the situation?" ”

Xie Yuan replied: "The people in the western area of the concession are still very cooperative, I heard that we are going to fight devils here, and even took the initiative to help us build fortifications, but the patrols of Wang's puppet government tried to make trouble and let us arrest them, and many hooligans who were not good people at first glance also let us arrest them." ”

"Good catch." Xu Rui nodded, and then said, "The people have been evacuated." ”

"Evacuated." Xie Yuan nodded and said, "Except for those who took the initiative to stay behind to help build the fortifications, the rest of the people have all been evacuated to the central area of the concession, the eastern area of the concession and the French concession." ”

Xu Rui said: "Those who built fortifications should also evacuate immediately." ”

"I just said that." Xie Yuan shook his head and said, "But they won't leave." ”

Xu Rui didn't say more, because he had vaguely guessed that most of these people who took the initiative to stay were veterans of the Nationalist Army stranded in Shanghai, but he was embarrassed to disclose his identity, after all, after recovering from his injury, they did not leave Shanghai on time to return to the team, which was equivalent to being a deserter, which was undoubtedly a very disgraceful experience.

As he spoke, a horn suddenly sounded under the night sky ahead, and it was the guard post that had fired.

Xu Rui immediately picked up the Infield rifle and said with a cruel smile: "Let's go, let's start working!" ”

At that moment, Xu Rui took the sweet potato and the guard platoon of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion to the forefront of the company's position, this guard platoon of the Gurkha Royal Infantry Battalion, in addition to the guard duty, is also responsible for conveying the battalion headquarters' orders, so Xu Rui must take this guard platoon with him at all times.

"Commander, why did you come up?" A company of feldspar Changqing couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Xu Rui.

The company commanders and platoon commanders of the National Army often go to the front line and take the lead, but starting from the battalion commander, the officers of the National Army are not easy to go to the line of fire.

"I'll just take a look, you don't have to worry about me." Xu Rui replied casually, and when he looked up again, he saw that under the dim street lamp in front of him, about a small group of Japanese devils pulled out the sparse skirmish line, and were walking forward with bright bayonets, although these devils were not wearing military uniforms, Xu Rui still recognized them as devils at a glance.

Because the Japanese devil has an obvious characteristic compared with the Chinese, that is, the duck step, this is not nonsense, the average height of the Japanese in this era is actually only about one meter and a half, this person is short, the legs are short, and the short legs are obviously different from normal people, walking like a duck, swaying.

Although the swing is not large, the characteristics of the duck step are very obvious.

Therefore, the one who came ahead was by no means the spy of the Seventy-sixth of the Extreme Field, but the devil!
