The Japanese army is marching towards Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and even Zhenjiang have become the rear of the Japanese army, with the gradual stabilization of the situation, local maintenance associations have also been established, although these maintenance associations are the accomplices of the Japanese, but objectively also played a positive role in protecting the people. [Full text reading]

Suzhou suffered relatively lightly from the fighting, so it recovered the fastest.

As of yesterday, the citizens who fled to the countryside to escape the war have returned home, and all walks of life have also opened for business, including the Dongxing Pharmacy in Sheephorn Hutong, almost no one knows that the Dongxing Pharmacy hidden in the depths of Sheephorn Alley is the residence of the **Suzhou Prefectural Committee.

In the dead of night, two black figures wearing long cloth shirts and wide-brimmed top hats suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley, and then went straight to the Dongxing Pharmacy, which had been closed.

"Bang Bang." There was a dull knock on the door.

"I'm sorry, we're closed." A response from a man came from inside the door.

One of the black shadows lowered his voice and said, "Man, I have an urgent matter with you shopkeeper Cao. ”

"I'm sorry, our shopkeeper Cao is not at home." The guy responded, "You'd better come back tomorrow morning." ”

"It's too late tomorrow morning." The black shadow said, "My seventh grandfather and his eldest nephew are sick and sick. ”

The incision was right, and the closed gate squeaked open, and the man came out and let the two black shadows in, and then looked at the mouth of the alley, and found that no one had closed the door again.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man has already come out.

Through the light, you can clearly see the two black shadows that came in just now, one is extremely burly, the other looks petite and exquisite, take off the hat, and immediately reveal a white and pure delicate beauty, but it turned out to be a girl, but this girl has two brocade boxes inserted in the back waist, which looks heroic.

"Guerrilla Captain of Southern Jiangsu, Xiao Yanyue." The girl grinned and said, "You are Secretary Zhang."

"Hehe, it's Zhang Husheng below." The middle-aged man returned the salute with his fists, and said, "Captain Xiao, please come in, I've been waiting for you for a few days, and according to the agreement, you should have arrived in Suzhou two days ago." ”

"Don't mention it." Xiao Yanyue walked in, but she didn't have a good breath, "I encountered a group of devils halfway through, and it took a lot of effort to make a detour, and I finally got rid of it, but I still sacrificed thirteen comrades, these thirteen comrades are all old comrades who have been tested for a long time, and I hope that the provisional 79th Division is worth saving." ”

At this time, the burly man said: "Captain Xiao, Secretary Zhang, I still can't figure it out, we have been fighting with the white dog for so many years, I don't know how many brothers and sisters died in their hands, we don't care if we don't fall into the well, why should we save them in turn"

Zhang Husheng said: "Now is the second cooperation between the KMT and the CCP, so don't mention the past." ”

"Fart's Kuomintang-Communist cooperation." The burly man said angrily, "We rushed to the predetermined assembly site in accordance with the orders of the National Government, but a bullshit major general came, and he said a lot of nonsense, and he didn't say anything about the military salary, we never counted on it, but we didn't even give the equipment that we said was good, what the hell is this called?"

Zhang Husheng said with a smile: "If the national government doesn't give equipment, won't we fight devils?"

"Of course the devil has to fight." The burly man said, "But I can't rush to save the white dog." ”

Zhang Husheng waved his hand and said: "The provisional 79th Division that you saved this time is different. ”

"What's the difference" Xiao Yanyue said contemptuously, "It's not all Kuomintang troops"

"You don't know." Zhang Husheng patiently explained, "This provisional 79th Division is different from other Kuomintang troops, the predecessor of the provisional 79th Division was the 79th Route Army, which cooperated with our Red Army in Fujian back then, and they also agreed with some of our ideas. ”

"That's right," said the burly man, "it's worth saving." ”

Zhang Husheng said again: "Of course, this army is worth saving, as long as they can be rescued, no matter how much the price is paid, it is worth it, you may not know that this army has won several big battles in Wuxi and Baoxing in a row, not only killing the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army, Fushimi Palace, but also killing at least a thousand devils."

"There is still such a thing," Xiao Yanyue said, "Then this unit is terrible, but since the combat effectiveness of this provisional 79th Division is so strong, why should we save it? ”

Zhang Husheng waved his hand and said: "Speaking of rescue, it may be that the words are incorrect, it should be said to be help, the opinion of the Shanghai Special Committee is to ask you to help the provisional 79th Division as much as possible, after all, you have fought guerrillas in southern Jiangsu for many years, and you are relatively familiar with the terrain in this area, not to mention anything else, at least you can lead the way for them, you say yes."

"His grandmother's, co-authored to ask us to be guides." The burly man said.

Zhang Husheng smiled: "Soldier, you are reluctant to be a guide for others"

"Reluctantly, of course." The burly soldier muttered, "It's too unchallenging. ”

"You want to do something challenging," Zhang Husheng said, "Okay, I really have a very challenging task, I don't know if you dare to take it." ”

"What don't you dare?" The soldier said, "Secretary Zhang, you said." ”

"You go and blow up the gendarmerie headquarters in Suzhou." Zhang Husheng said seriously, "Then kill all the more than 1,000 devils in the Suzhou Military Police Brigade." ”

"Secretary Zhang, you," the soldier said, "Isn't this embarrassing?"

Zhang Husheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, I really have a task handed over to you here, which was just issued by Secretary Du of the Shanghai Special Commission, and he asked your guerrillas to immediately rush to the eastern suburbs of Wuxi to assist the provisional 79th Division in urgently transporting a batch of weapons and ammunition to Nantong, and"

Speaking of this, Zhang Husheng deliberately paused, and then said in an accentuated tone: "There is also Secretary Du's special instruction, after you assist the provisional 79th Division in transporting weapons and ammunition to Nantong, someone will suggest that you stay, you must not refuse, you can take the opportunity to join them"

"Secretary Zhang, this can't work," Xiao Yanyue said, "According to the instructions of **, our War of Resistance is **, so there is absolutely no problem for us to help temporarily organize the 79th Division, as for joining them, let's skip it, let's talk about it, we can fight devils ourselves, so why join other teams"

"Yes." The GI also said, "Isn't that just us being co-opted?"

Zhang Husheng said: "Since Secretary Du said so, then there must be a reason for him, and you just carry out the order." ”

When Xiao Yanyue wanted to argue again, Zhang Husheng interrupted: "I'll just say so much, specifically, when you get to Nantong, someone will naturally tell you the reason." ”

"Yes." Xiao Yanyue immediately stood up and saluted, "Secretary Zhang, then we'll go." ”

Although Xiao Yanyue was very disapproving, the organizational discipline of ** people kept telling her that she must obey the organization's arrangements.

"Okay." Zhang Husheng said, "I won't keep you, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

Dividing line

Hei Qi took advantage of the night to cross the river again and return to the south bank, and after another night of forced marching, he finally rushed to the weapons and ammunition burial site in the eastern suburbs of Wuxi before dawn.

Not far from the weapons burial site, it was the headquarters and artillery position of the 6th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army at that time.

Although many days have passed, and most of the shrapnel and mechanical parts left on the position have been taken away by the devil's aftermath forces, and the rest have also been picked up by nearby villagers, the big crater created by the explosion of the large-scale chain of thunderbolts assembled by Xu Rui is there, and the pit has been filled with rainwater.

Visually, the diameter of this large crater is at least 100 meters.

It is entirely conceivable how horrific the explosion scene was at that time.

You can imagine how many devils would have been killed at that time.

However, Black Seven didn't have time to appreciate this, and immediately plunged into intense excavation.

Soon, the large pit where the weapons and ammunition were buried was dug up, and the canvas wrapped in the weapons and ammunition was untied, revealing the large and small wooden boxes underneath, which were full of munitions.

Hei Qi asked people to bring up all the boxes, and then chiseled them out, picked out twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns plus twenty base ammunition, and then repacked the remaining weapons and ammunition and buried them again, Hei Qi also wanted to take all the weapons and ammunition away, but the problem was that he couldn't take them away at all.

Even the 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns that Xu Rui confessed, plus 20 base ammunition, it was definitely not easy to transport them back to Nantong.

The weight of a Type 92 heavy machine gun is more than 200 catties, 20 is more than 4,000 catties, and a platoon plus the black seven is more than 40 people, which means that each person weighs an average of 100 catties.

According to the devil's standard, a base for a heavy machine gun is 2000 rounds

20 base numbers are 40,000 rounds, and 20 heavy machine guns are 800,000 rounds

Black Seven knew Mauser rifle cartridge 7. The weight of 92x57 is half a tael, and the heavy machine gun bullet of the little devil is lighter than the Mauser rifle bullet, and it will not be much lighter, 800,000 and a half taels is 40,000 catties, and if it is also carried by people, it is more than 1,000 catties per capita, which is even more nonsense.

Looking at the weapons and ammunition piled up like a hill in front of him, Hei Qi was also helpless.

When he took over the task, Hei Qi didn't feel it yet, but now he is in a hurry.

I lost my mother, how can I transport so many weapons and ammunition back to Nantong
