At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Fei received the news of the meeting, so he left the Gongda Yarn Factory with the newly replenished weapons and ammunition of the National Protector Army and came to the regimental headquarters of the 3rd Regiment of the Tax Police. Here Bai Fei met Sun Yuanliang, who had just left in the morning, Liu Yaohuan, head of the 3rd Regiment of the Tax Police, Sun Liren, commander of the 4th Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, who had just been promoted to commander of the detachment, Song Xilian, commander of the 36th Division, Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 87th Division, and Gu Zhu, deputy commander of the 3rd Theater.

Everyone was full of curiosity about Bai Fei, as soon as he came, everyone's eyes were focused on him, Bai Fei felt uncomfortable, Sun Yuanliang came up and introduced everyone to him one by one, which was considered to help him out of the siege.

After the two sides got to know each other for a while, they took their seats in the conference room, and Gu Zhu sat in the first place as a matter of course.

Sun Yuanliang sat next to Bai Fei and whispered to Bai Fei: "Brother, you remember to be with our 88th Division in a while." ”

Bai Fei didn't know why, and wanted to ask a question, but it was inappropriate.

I saw Gu Zhutong take a sip of the teacup on the table, and said, "Everyone, the purpose of convening everyone here for a meeting today must be clear to everyone. Since the beginning of the war in Shanghai, the Japanese invaders have been rampant with Japan, and although the situation has become more and more unfavorable for us, the officers and men of the defenders on the other lines have made great achievements regardless of the number of injuries. Only in the Yangpu area of Hongkou, since the beginning of the war, heavy troops have been mobilized to encircle and suppress the Japanese marines entrenched here, but today, they still have not been able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and these two places are still firmly in the hands of the Japanese army, which has to make people feel very sad! ”

These words made Sun Yuanliang and Wang Jingjiu, who were the first to participate in the war here, look a little ugly.

Gu Zhutong ignored them, opened a folder in front of him, took out a piece of paper from it, and said lightly: "Everyone, this is an order from the Supreme Command that I just received an hour ago, and it orders us to take Hongkou before it gets dark tomorrow, otherwise military law will be involved." The situation is urgent, so let's all take a look. ”

When all the officers heard this, their faces were a little unnatural, and they picked them up one by one and looked at them. When it was passed to Bai Fei, he picked up the piece of paper and pretended to look at it, then threw it to the next person, and said in his heart What the hell is this, and he came over to help fight the devil with kindness, but in exchange for this one? Well, the original voluntary behavior has now become a compulsory behavior, and it is necessary to beat and kill?

Bai Fei was very unhappy in his heart, and his face was a little unsightly. Sun Yuanliang obviously also felt the unhappiness in Bai Fei's heart, so he apologized in a whisper: "I'm sorry, brother, this time it's my brother, I'm sorry for you, I pulled you into this quagmire..."

Bai Fei glanced at him and ignored him.

The military order was passed around and returned to Gu Zhutong's hands, he put the military order away, coughed and said, "Since everyone has read the military order, let's talk about it now, but what is the offensive plan?" ”

Everyone didn't speak first, Liu Yaohuan, the head of the 3rd Tax Police Regiment, glanced at Sun Liren, Sun Liren nodded slightly, so Liu Yaohuan stood up and said: "Sir Gu, our Tax Police Regiment defends the first line of Shuangyang Road, and can attack the enemy in Hongkou Yangpu from east to west. But I asked the Protector to assist us in the operation of the Tax Police. ”

As soon as Liu Yaohuan spoke, Sun Yuanliang immediately became anxious, stood up and said, "No, Regiment Commander Bai has already agreed to act with my 88th Division." ”

Liu Yaohuan said: "We have a precedent for cooperation with the Protector Army, yesterday we cooperated with the annihilation of the Japanese Shigetsu detachment in one fell swoop, and also advanced the western defense line from the first line of Longchang Road to the first line of Shuangyang Road. ”

Sun Yuanliang's face flushed anxiously, and he refused: "I don't care, this time I said that Brother Bai was used to help attack the enemy in Hongkou, and he had already promised me earlier..."

Liu Yaohuan said: "They are all working for the party-state, why should Master Sun be persistent." ”

Sun Yuanliang said: "Anyway, it just doesn't work..."

The two sides were arguing, Gu Zhutong couldn't listen to it anymore, stood up and shouted: "Enough!" What a system of noisy yelling! Wouldn't you have fought without foreign aid? ”

Sun Yuanliang and Liu Yaohuan blushed and sat down silently.

Gu Zhutong looked around, and finally set his eyes on Bai Fei. Although he said it beautifully just now, he also knew very well that if he wanted to complete the task, he could not do it without the help of the Protector Army. The strength of the Protector Army is obvious to all, and the reason why the Japanese army in Hongkou and other places can hold out for so long is nothing more than relying on the dense fortifications in it, and if he wants to complete the task this time, he must rely on the Protector Army. The generals of the troops sitting here, the 36th Division is the descendant of He Yingqin, the 87th and 87th Divisions are the descendant of Chiang Kai-Shi, and the Tax Police Regiment is the descendant of Song Ziwen, the God of Wealth.

Gu Zhutong thought very clearly in his heart, so he had to kick the ball to Bai Fei with a shy face, and said to him: "Commander Bai, this battle is not trivial, I heard that your department has a sharp weapon to attack, now I will give you the choice, which side to assist, you will make the decision, but I will say ugly things ahead..."Gu Zhutong said this, and glanced at Sun Yuanliang and Liu Yaohuan with his eyes, "Once Commander Bai chooses which side, which side will have to fight hard, in case the final battle is lost, you will have to bear the main responsibility!" ”

As soon as Bai Fei heard this, he immediately understood Gu Zhutong's sinister intentions, this was a posture to shirk responsibility! He said in his heart, I didn't recruit you to provoke you, I didn't recruit you, as soon as I came up, you yin me, do you think Lao Tzu has no backstage?

Bai Fei sneered in his heart, and said: "Chief Gu, the battle line this time is quite long, and several soldiers must attack at the same time, so that the enemy is difficult to take care of, so that the goal can be achieved as soon as possible." I understand that what you are worried about is a strong fortress in the enemy-occupied area, and you can rest assured that our National Protector Army can divide the soldiers into five parts and assist the 36th Division, the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the Tax Police Corps to attack the enemy at Hongkou together. But I also said that we have limited manpower, and we are only responsible for eradicating the strong fortifications of the enemy encountered on the offensive road, and we will not care about the rest of the battle, but also rely on the soldiers led by your commanders. ”

When Gu Zhutong heard Bai Fei's words, he looked at him a few times with some surprise.

Bai Fei said thoughtfully: "Chief Gu, this is my suggestion, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

Gu Zhutong realized that Bai Fei might have understood his attempt to dump the black pot, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed and said, "Do you have any objections to Captain Bai's proposal?" “

Sun Yuanliang, Liu Yaohuan and Sun Liren glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Although Song Xilian and Wang Jingjiu have not dealt with the Protector Army, they have heard of their deeds, and they are expected to have no vain under their fame, so why not do it since someone has come to help, so they have no opinion.

So the proposal was passed.

Because the time was tight and the bombing of the Japanese planes could be avoided at night, everyone discussed for a while, and soon decided that at 10 o'clock that night, the troops would start to attack the enemy at Hongkou on time.
