Chapter 1153: Two Months Later

More than two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to May of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939). Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than two months of development, the patrol battalion has expanded to the size of a brigade, almost 6,000 people, which is quite different from Xu Rui's expectations, you must know that there are 50,000 veterans of the Nationalist Army stranded in Shanghai, Xu Rui originally thought that after two months of expansion, how could the patrol battalion be expanded to 15,000 people in a division.

However, the harsh reality is that the patrol camp has only expanded to more than 6,000 people in one brigade.

The remaining veterans, no matter what the patrol camp people did their ideological work, were indifferent.

Xu Rui once analyzed with Lao Wang that the reason why these veterans of the National Army stranded in Shanghai were reluctant to re-enlist was because their hearts were completely cold, but this could not blame them, who let them abandon them when the Battle of Songhu was defeated?

Before the defeat at the Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Army had at least three days to retreat, which was very sufficient, enough for the Third Theater Commander's Headquarters to transfer more than 200,000 wounded.

However, just as the Third War Zone was preparing to retreat, Chairman Chiang issued a telegram ordering the retreat to be postponed.

The reason why Chairman Chiang wanted to postpone the date of the retreat was that the United Nations General Assembly meeting to be held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva three days later would mediate the Sino-Japanese dispute, and Chairman Chiang pinned his hopes on the intervention of Western countries, so he ordered the Nationalist Army to hold on to its position in order to strive for more benefits in the negotiations.

However, Chairman Chiang clearly overestimated the willingness and determination of Western countries to intervene in the Sino-Japanese dispute.

The price of this overestimation was that the Nationalist Army lost its most precious three days, and three days later, at the end of the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, the Western powers led by Britain and France only condemned the Japanese Government with a few words, and then there was no more follow-up.

However, by this time, Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army had already landed from Kaneyama.

It took only one day, Yanagawa Heisuke's vanguard troops were pushed into Qingpu County, and seeing that they were about to wrap dumplings with nearly 100 divisions of the elite of the Nationalist Army stranded on the Songhu battlefield, Lao Jiang was anxious and urgently ordered all the troops in the Third Theater to throw away all the burdens and retreat in great strides.

The Third War Zone faithfully carried out Chairman Chiang's orders.

Among the burdens thrown away by the Third War Zone were 250,000 seriously wounded.

At that time, the scene was unbearable, several main roads from Shanghai to Nanjing, all piled up with stretchers, and even the fields on both sides of the road were full of wounded and stretchers, as far as the eye could see, the ground was full of wounded Nationalist soldiers, and the cries, wails and curses could not be described with pen and ink.

Most of the more than 200,000 seriously wounded were sacrificed, either from the bombing and shelling of the devils, or from the lack of timely and effective care, or from the devils who chased them and then brutally stabbed to death with bayonets, and even trampled to death by robes.

So in the end, only a small number of the wounded who were slightly injured fled into the concession, and then the stretcher team organized by the Shanghai citizens rescued some of them, and the total number of people was only about 50,000, less than one-fifth of all the wounded, and the remaining nearly 200,000 seriously wounded died in this way.

The 200,000 seriously wounded had every chance to heal and re-enter the battlefield, but because of a wrong decision by Chairman Chiang, they succumbed to death in the wilderness.

Although these veterans were lucky to survive, their hearts were cold.

It is precisely because their hearts are cold, no matter what Xie Yuan and the soldiers of the Lone Military Battalion do, these veterans of the National Army are also indifferent, they would rather continue to live a hard life, they would rather live in such a humble life, than pick up a gun again and set foot on the battlefield, they have been abandoned once, and they do not want to be abandoned a second time.

Therefore, two months later, the patrol battalion was only expanded to a brigade.

In response to the threat of the patrol camp, the Broadway building was also expanded.

Since the last looting, Akira Kagesa has repositioned Broadway and 76 Broadway.

In the positioning of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, No. 76 is specially used to deal with the military commanders and the underground party organizations of the Chinese Communist Party, while Liang Wuyi's Broadway Building is specially used to deal with the patrol camp, with the expansion of the patrol camp, the personnel size of the Broadway Building must also be expanded, until now, the Broadway Building has also expanded to almost a brigade.

For more than two months, Xu Rui's life is still very comfortable, in addition to going in and out of various entertainment venues every day to show off his might, and putting on a tricky style, he is to fight with the patrol camp every once in a while, either to eat a small loss and kill dozens of people today, or to take a small advantage tomorrow to kill dozens of people in the patrol camp.

All of these encounters, of course, are just singing double reeds.

However, the double reed that has been performed for more than two months has not yet been revealed, so it can't be simply attributed to good luck, or because Xu Rui is meticulous, in fact, Xu Rui's actions are indeed very meticulous, and every time before confronting the patrol battalion, more than 100 cannon fodder will be prepared in advance, and then these cannon fodder will be forced to rush to the front for the patrol battalion to fight.

Moreover, these cannon fodder are not temporarily recruited, they have all stayed in the Broadway Building for a period of time, in fact, the spies of the three major teams of the spies are basically cannon fodder, every time they fight with the patrol battalion, Xu Rui will let the three major teams of spies take the lead and let the snipers of the patrol battalion shoot and kill.

Similarly, there are cannon fodder units on the patrol camp.

Therefore, in fact, every confrontation is the cannon fodder troops of both sides in the exchange of fire, but it looks like that, every confrontation is a mutual casualty, which does frighten the devil observers with the army, although Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao trusts Xu Rui very much, but still sent a large number of devil observers to the Broadway building.

However, no matter how meticulous Xu Rui is, in two months, in as many as dozens of encounters, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has not shown any horses' feet, no matter how lucky he is, this is also impossible, fortunately, there is still a shadow in the Nakamura organ, a traitor, who is covering up for Xu Rui in every possible way.

So until now, Kagesa Zhenzhao has never doubted the Broadway Building.

So until now, Kagesa has been very supportive of Broadway.

Xu Rui had just gone to the Nakamura office again, and the old devil Ying Zuo Zhenzhao allocated some weapons and equipment to the Broadway Building, including 50 shell guns, 500 Hanyang-made or Zhongzhong rifles, 20 imitation Czech light machine guns, plus 12 Makqin heavy machine guns, which were used to equip a battalion that had just been expanded in the Broadway Building.

This kind of treatment can make Li Shiqun, who went to the Nakamura organ together, hungry to death.

In the past two months, the activities of the Military Command Hurricane Team in Shanghai have become more and more rampant, and even Li Shiqun has been assassinated by the Military Command Hurricane Team several times.

Therefore, Li Shiqun has been clamoring to expand the personnel of No. 76.

It's just that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is not as polite to Li Shiqun as he is to Xu Rui, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao not only did not agree to Li Shiqun's request to expand the staff, but even reprimanded Li Shiqun, this is also because No. 76 is really not angry, it has been more than two months, and the business of the big smoke hall has not been done seriously.

Originally, Kagezo Zhenzhao had high hopes for No. 76, and was full of hope that No. 76 would be able to revitalize the opium industry in the Japanese-occupied areas as soon as possible, and then provide a large amount of funds to the Nakamura organs every month, but who would have thought that Li Shiqun and No. 76 would never be able to rebuild the opium industry.

Because every time a big smoke house was opened on the 76th, it would inevitably be attacked by armed forces within three days, and it was either the people of the military command hurricane team or the people who patrolled the camp, and even the Communist Party, the 76th tried more than a dozen times, and opened more than 20 big smoke houses and gambling halls before and after, and none of them could survive three days.

Li Shiqun tried all kinds of methods, and even asked Ying Zuo for two devil squadrons and set up a killing game, trying to ambush the officers and soldiers of the military commander hurricane team or patrol battalion who came to attack by pretending to open a big smoke house, but what is frustrating is that the noses of the military commander and the patrol camp are smarter than dogs, so they are not fooled at all.

Two months have passed, and none of the big smoke houses that I wanted to open on the 76th have been opened, but more than 10,000 boxes of opium paste have been lost in vain, which can make Ying Zuo Zhenzhao angry, so every time we meet, I must reprimand Li Shiqun a few words, if I can still give Li Shiqun a good face, then there will be a ghost.

Besides, Xu Rui returned to the Broadway Building with weapons and equipment.

Wang Husheng and Liu Mei went out to run errands, and Wu Han was not there, only Jiang Nan was there.

On the bright side, Jiang Nan is the woman snatched by Liang Wuyi, the son-in-law, and is his personal secretary.

"Things are going well, aren't they?" As soon as Xu Rui entered the door, Jiang Nan stepped forward and took off his cloak for Xu Rui.

"It went well, it couldn't have gone any better." Xu Rui touched Jiangnan Rijian's plump buttocks with his hand, and bit his ear and said, "Do you miss me?" ”

"What do you say?" Jiang Nan glanced at Xu Rui and said angrily, "I haven't seen you for half a day." ”

Xu Rui smiled: "The ancients, if you don't see each other for a day, half a day is equivalent to a year and a half, alas, hey, we haven't seen each other for so long?" ”

Jiang Nan glanced at Xu Rui again, and said angrily: "There is no positive shape." ”

Xu Rui smiled and asked Jiang Nandao again, "Have you eaten?" ”

"No, I don't want to eat, I don't have an appetite." As soon as Jiangnan finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and retched.
