Chapter 24: The Transition to Shanghai (1)
After thinking about it, Bai Fei didn't come up with a good way, so he could only give up, and said in his heart that he would take one step at a time, and find a way to get to Shanghai first.
But it is also difficult to rush to Shanghai, now in wartime, all the railway stations belong to the military management, and it is impossible to board the train with a large group of heavily armed people without knowing it, and besides, he is going to resist the war and defend the country, and he is not going to be a thief, and it is not his original intention to sneak in case of any conflict with the local troops.
At this time, Lu Zhengchao happened to come over, Bai Fei's eyes lit up, and he walked over to talk to him. When Lu Zhengchao heard that he was going to Shanghai to fight the war, he was also a little moved. But then he sighed and said: "Brother Bai, to tell you the truth, brother, I have fought for so many years, and the two battles that I have cooperated with you are the most comfortable, listening to you say this, even I really want to go there with you to fight the devil, but I can't help myself, it's not as chic as you want to go, alas! ”
Bai Fei said with a smile: "Brother Lu, in fact, it's the same wherever you resist Japan, and the devils in Hebei also need you to clean up." Now that you have so much equipment from the Japanese army, your strength is much greater, and when your brother is developed in the future, don't forget my brother. ”
Lu Zhengchao smiled: "Where are you, hey, how can I listen to your tone, is there something difficult for me to help?" ”
Bai Feixin said that he was worthy of being an old Jianghu, so he hurriedly told him all about his difficulties, Lu Zhengchao frowned and muttered: "It's also a problem." It's not difficult to send you on the train, Commander Wang under the commander of the Shijiazhuang garrison has an old relationship with me, I write a letter, you go to him, let him send you on the train, and go south along the Pinghan Railway, but out of the border of Hebei, I can't do anything. ”
Bai Fei was overjoyed, now the main thing is that he can't afford to delay in time, as long as he can get on the train, and I'll talk about the rest later.
Without further ado, Lu Zhengchao immediately wrote a letter to Bai Fei. At this time, it was already ten in the evening, Bai Fei was anxious, and he didn't stop much, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he left the battlefield with more than fifty soldiers of the Protector Army, carrying weapons such as RPGs and Gatlings, and headed for Laiyuan.
After walking less than 10 miles, it was already dark, and Bai Fei could only order to camp and rest.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, everyone began to march again, and at 10 o'clock at noon, they arrived near Laiyuan County. Bai Fei immediately contacted the Lin family brothers and the special combat team by radio, and the two parties were overjoyed after meeting.
It is worth saying that Zhang Yueqing, the eldest lady of Zhangjiabao, and Mr. Lin and others were also taken over, that Zhang Yueqing remembered Bai Fei every day, and he hadn't seen him for two or three days, as if he had passed a few years.
Bai Fei also missed her a lot in his heart, he went to the battlefield, every day was like a world away, and at this time, he hugged Zhang Yueqing tightly, and there was a moment of peace in his heart.
Not to mention how the two of them elaborated on the parting interest, but after the two sides met, Li Hu, the leader of the special operations team, pulled Bai Fei aside and said: "Captain, after we came over yesterday, we found that there were many routs of the national army in Laiyuan, and it seems that Baoding will not be able to hold it nine times out of ten." ”
Bai Fei knew from history that Baoding could not be defended, but this time, because of his relationship, he made a clear message to show the conspiracy of the Japanese army, and then sabotaged Abe Guixiu's attempt, and it was expected that the national army should not be defeated so quickly, and now when he heard Li Hu say this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
But I heard Li Hu continue: "I took it upon myself to recruit dozens of soldiers from the rout who were willing to join our Protector Army, and now they are all living next door, do you want to go and have a look?" ”
Bai Fei was surprised and said, "Have you checked the details of these people, don't be careless to find some evil people or devil spies." "During the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese spies emerged in an endless stream, and even Chiang Kai-shek was almost assassinated by a hidden Japanese spy. So Bai Fei was very careful about this matter from the beginning.
Li Hu said: "They are all together, the people who originally belonged to the reconnaissance company of the 27th Division, when they first saw them, they almost fainted with hunger, but they did not rob the people with guns like some national soldiers." Later, we gave them some food and asked about the situation, and some of them saw that the guns we were holding were very novel, so they asked us about the details, and I took the opportunity to explain our anti-Japanese purpose, and a few people wanted to join us on the spot. ”
Bai Fei smiled: "I can't see that you still have the potential to be an instructor." ”
Li Hu scratched his head and said: "I actually told us about our salary and pension system, and they became enthusiastic." ”
Bai Fei laughed dumbly, it turned out that this was the case. But I didn't take it to heart. With so much money, it's really hard to refuse.
Li Hu said: "Later, in order to verify whether they were lying and whether they had major bad deeds, we scattered them one by one, questioned them individually, asked the same questions, and found that their confessions were basically the same, so we temporarily accepted them." ”
Bai Fei couldn't help but be a little impressed, and praised: "Okay, Li Hu, this method you came up with?" ”
Li Hu said: "What? This was Mr. Song's idea, and later in order to stabilize their minds, he sent them a piece of ocean each, saying that he would make a final decision when you came back. ”
Bai Fei secretly thought, he couldn't see that this Mr. Song was quite thoughtful, it seemed that he would have to add more burdens to him in the future, and the talent could not be wasted.
While speaking, Li Hu took Bai Fei to the courtyard next to him. At this time, because of the southward movement of the Japanese army, many people near Laiyuan left with their families in order to escape the war. Therefore, there were a lot of empty houses, and after Boss Lin and the others came here, they found this situation, so they honestly and unceremoniously found an empty house to live in temporarily.
Pushing open the door, Bai Fei saw thirty or forty soldiers of the national army sitting or squatting in the courtyard chatting. Seeing Li Hu come in, those soldiers of the national army immediately stood up.
Bai Fei couldn't help but nod when he saw that they were all physically strong, between 18 and 30 years old, moving quickly, and obviously being longer than the army.
Li Hu introduced on the side: "This is what I told you before, Captain Bai of my National Protector Army, whether you can join us in the end or not depends on Captain Bai." ”
When the soldiers of the national army in the courtyard heard this, everyone was thinking in their hearts: 10 yuan a month, and the pension is one or two thousand yuan, so much money, if you can't join the national protection army, you won't get anything. So they desperately wanted to express themselves and straighten their chests.
Bai Fei wanted to laugh a little, he coughed, put on a serious expression on his face, and said the treatment and requirements of the Protector Army, as well as the rules and punishments, and asked them if they could do it.
The soldiers in the courtyard shouted in unison: "Yes! "It was so loud that it almost knocked off the roof tiles.
Bai Fei then announced that he agreed to them to join the Protector Army. Suddenly, dozens of soldiers of the national army cheered and were overjoyed. In fact, Bai Fei is here to go through the motions, and to put it bluntly, it is to let them know who the boss is. After listening to Li Hu's narration, he had already decided to accept them, not to mention that he was now sparsely staffed and wanted to expand his recruitment.
At that moment, Bai Fei ordered someone to go to the neighborhood and buy a pig and come back. Everyone has worked hard for many days, and with a new person joining the National Protector Army today, they should eat, drink and relax. After some peeling and cooking, nearly 150 members of the Protector Army gathered around, eating meat and drinking soup in large bowls, talking loudly, and laughing happily.
