"Brother, I didn't know about the military order in advance, I'm sorry for you for this, and I pulled you into this quagmire..."

After the meeting, Sun Yuanliang pulled Bai Fei aside and said apologetically.

Bai Fei was originally a little angry, but seeing him like this now, it was not good to give him a look again, so he said: "Forget it, I said a long time ago, as long as it is an anti-Japanese matter, our National Protector Army is duty-bound, even if there is no you, I will be involved." That's how it passed. ”

Sun Yuanliang immediately became happy when he heard this, and praised: "Brother, you are really righteous and cloudy!" Well, I'm sure with your Protector joining, we'll be able to win a big victory this time. ”

After the two chatted a few words, Bai Fei immediately sorted out the team and divided the people into 5 groups, led by Wang Weiguo, Lin Laoda, Xu Changsheng, Zhou Guangqing (3 Lianlian Vice) and himself. In terms of equipment, because RPGs are the only weapon to deal with Japanese artificial forts in relevant areas near Hongkou, each group is guaranteed to have 20 RPG-7s and enough armor-piercing shells; In addition, each group is equipped with two Gatlings for fire support, each group is equipped with two sets of anti-aircraft weapons, and each group is equipped with several 150mm heavy guns to deal with emergencies.

During the distribution process, some weapons were not enough points, so Bai Fei had to find a hidden place to exchange them with the system and make up for each group.

After the distribution was completed, Sun Yuanliang begged to take Bai Fei back to the 88th Division with him, Bai Fei had no choice but to set off with him, leaving the remaining four groups of people in the 3rd Regiment, 4th Regiment, 36th Division, and 87th Division of the Tax Police Regiment along the way, in order to cooperate with the attack of each division at night. He himself led a group and followed Sun Yuanliang to the Sixing Warehouse north of Suzhou Creek, which was where the headquarters of the 88th Division was located.

When he came to the Sixing Warehouse, Bai Fei remembered the story in the history books about the battle of Songhu where 800 national army heroes (actually more than 400) fought the Japanese army here, and he felt a lot of emotion for a while.

Sun Yuanliang saw that his expression was a little dazed, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Bai Fei reacted and said, "It's okay, I just remembered some old things." By the way, I heard that there is an officer named Xie Jinyuan under your subordinates, right? ”

Sun Yuanliang invited Bai Fei to sit down in the office, personally made him a cup of tea, thought about it and said: "Xie Jinyuan, oh, there is such a person, he is the deputy head of the 524 regiment, brother, why did you suddenly ask about him, did he have a holiday with you?" ”

Bai Fei took a sip of tea and put down the cup, waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, I just heard that he sent his wife from Shanghai back to his hometown in Jiaoling County, Meizhou, Guangdong last year, and said something to his wife before leaving, which was particularly touching, and he remembered it for a while, so he asked casually." ”

Sun Yuan asked curiously, "Oh? What touching words did he say? ”

Bai Fei said: "I heard that he personally sent his wife back, and before leaving, he said to his wife: 'Half of the rivers and mountains are being eaten up by the day, and the disaster of destroying the country and exterminating the species is the responsibility of others. If you don't pay attention, your children and grandchildren will be left behind. Killing the enemy for the country is the essence of the revolutionary soldiers, and their duty lies, and they can't take care of their families for the country. He also said: "I am not a good son or husband, but you have to bear the burden of supporting your old parents and raising your young children for the survival of your country." This war will be very fierce, we will have great sacrifices, and we will have partial defeats, but our country will definitely win. When the final victory comes, I will personally welcome your mother and son back to Shanghai..."Brother Sun, how did you hear this?' ”

After hearing this, Sun Yuanliang couldn't help but sigh: "I am really a good man in China and a good soldier of the party-country." I didn't know it a long time ago, otherwise I would have proposed to promote him to be the head of the regiment. ”

Bai Fei smiled and didn't speak.

Sun Yuanliang made another mess in the drawer of his desk, took out two plates of dried fruits and a bottle of red wine, and said: "Brother, you come to my 88th Division headquarters, there is nothing to entertain you, these things are condolences sent by the enthusiastic citizens of Shanghai a few days ago, you can taste it and see if it tastes good." ”

As he spoke, he opened the red wine and poured two glasses, picked it up and touched it with Bai Fei, and drank it all.

Bai Fei said curiously: "Brother Sun, didn't I hear that you don't drink?" ”

Sun Yuanliang laughed and said: "That's just a rumor, I usually rarely drink, but it's not that I don't drink, whether I drink or not depends on who drinks or not, if it's not wartime, it's not timely, otherwise it's okay to get drunk every day with your brother." ”

Bai Fei knew that he was now relying on himself to help fight the war, so his words and deeds were often suspected of flattering, so he didn't pay attention to what he said. He picked up a piece of candied fruit and took a bite, and suddenly remembered something, so he suddenly had a bad taste, a hint of a thief smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Sun Yuanliang and said: "Brother Sun, I heard that a beautiful female student came to you a few days ago to offer condolences, and then you were abducted and taken into the division headquarters, and it took a long time before you were released, have you..."

As soon as Sun Yuanliang heard this, he immediately jumped up and stammered, "What... This thing, even... You got it? ”

Bai Fei said: "So this is true? ”

Sun Yuanliang's old face turned red, and he sighed and said: "In those days, the war was not going well, and I drank a few glasses of wine in depression, and I was a little upset, so I did such a regretful thing... But afterwards I had already given the girl 5,000 yuan, and she promised that the matter would be over..."

When Bai Fei heard him say this, he suddenly felt a little contempt for him in his heart. said: "You just lure and don't coerce?" ”

Sun Yuanliang immediately said: "Absolutely not, brother, I will tell you the truth when you are your own." ”

Bai Fei shook his head and said, "Brother Sun, you are also the commander of a division, and when you are a general, wouldn't acting like this belittle your own character?" Besides, you're not afraid that your sister-in-law will know that she will be awkward with you. ”

Sun Yuanliang said with a look of regret: "Brother Bai, what you have taught me is that since that incident, I have often regretted it, alas! I'm afraid this matter will become a stain on my life, but I, Sun Yuanliang, am not a person who dares to do anything but dare not admit it, no matter what someone says in the future, I will bear it on my shoulders. It's just that I will never dare to act so absurdly in the future. ”

Bai Fei saw that he was quite a bachelor, and he didn't want to dwell on his matter again, so he changed the topic and talked about making a fortune. Sun Yuanliang was obviously very interested in this topic, and immediately shook off the negative emotions just now, and happily discussed with Bai Fei how to rob the Japanese after recovering Hongkou and other places, etc...

Bai Fei saw him talking endlessly, and said in his heart that this product was really the most interested in money.

At nine o'clock that night, Bai Fei and his party set off with the army. Sun Yuanliang originally planned to stay in command of the division, but seeing that Bai Fei insisted on going to the front line, he didn't want to appear that he was afraid of death, so he had to go with him.

When everyone walked to the Bazi Bridge, the time was half past nine. Sun Yuanliang immediately ordered Zhu Chi to take the 262nd Brigade across the bridge, and quietly replaced the original defenders on the east side of the bridge, re-forming a confrontation with the Japanese troops in the southeast position on the first line of Huayuan Road, and then waiting for the time to attack.

The reason why the first attack was chosen here was because the east of the Yujingpu River was in the hands of the Japanese army, and the entire Yujingpu was in the Yangpu section of Hongkou, only the Bazi Bridge was still under the control of the 88th Division, and only this bridge was still intact, and the rest of the bridges were all destroyed by the war or blown up by the Japanese army.

In order to ensure a smooth start and avoid excessive damage to wading across the river, Bai Fei suggested that Sun Yuanliang let his troops cross the river from the Bazi Bridge, and then go south along the river, and cooperate with the defenders of the 88th Division on the west side of the river to form a flanking attack on the Japanese army east of the river.
