Bai Fei then set off from Suzhou to Nanjing with Sun Yuanliang.

On the way, every time he passes through a city or village or town, Bai Fei will send out the escort ** to mobilize the surrounding people to flee their hometowns.

Sun Yuanliang felt very strange and asked him why he did this, Bai Fei said: "Brother Yuanliang, you have been in the Japanese concentration camp, how do you say they treat me Chinese people?" ”

When Sun Yuanliang heard this, his face showed shame, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "The Japanese army is definitely the most beastly army in the world, and the cruelty of killing innocent people is simply outrageous. I see what you mean, but with so many people, how many can we mobilize? Besides, some of them are already poor, and if they flee for refuge, they will inevitably starve to death on the road, will I not kill Beren, but Beren will die because of me? ”

Bai Fei sighed and said: "You are right, there are many things that cannot be fundamentally changed by relying only on our personal strength, and I am also helpless about this, to be honest, in fact, I am just doing my best, as for the final outcome, only God knows." ”

Seeing that Bai Fei's mood was a little depressed, Sun Yuanliang changed his words and said: "But brother, these actions of yours are quite in line with the spirit of the scorched earth war of resistance proposed by the chairman of the committee, so I will also help." ”

Subsequently, Sun Yuanliang also sent out one of his subordinates, and together with the protector, they came to do this together. As a result, the mobilization area has expanded considerably, but it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the vast areas south of the Yangtze River.

Three days later, the group came to Nanjing. At the gate of Zhongshan in the east of the city, Bai Fei saw Hu Lian, who he hadn't seen for a few days.

The two were still far away, and Hu Lian greeted him with a smile on his face, grabbed Bai Fei's hand and shook it, and said, "Brother, you can really fight, haha!" Your performance in Shanghai is now known to the whole world by the Central News Agency. Terrific! It's amazing! ”

Bai Fei smiled: "That's all a false name, why is it worth mentioning?" Brother Hu, are you here to meet me? ”

Hu Lian also smiled: "No, when I learned that you were back in Nanjing, Chief Chen Cheng specially asked me to come here to pick you up." ”

At this time, Sun Yuanliang, who was behind him, also walked up and said, "Brother, do you also know Brother Hu Lian?" Then he said to himself, "Oh, yes, you have fought side by side in Luodian..."

Hu Lian saluted him and said, "Hello Senior Sun!" ”

Both of them are from Huangpu, but Sun Yuanliang is the first phase, and Hu Lian is the fourth phase.

Sun Yuanliang exchanged a few words with him, and then said to Bai Fei: "Since someone is coming to pick you up, then I won't care about you for now, I still have some things to deal with, I'll go to you when I get back, let's have a good meal and drink, and then Brother Hu, you will come together." ”‘

After speaking, Sun Yuanliang took people away. Xu Changsheng, the commander of the 3rd Battalion, came up with a group of people to greet Hu Lian, they were all Hu Lian's subordinates before, and both sides were very familiar.

Hu Lian smiled and said to Xu Changsheng and the others: "You are all good, you played well in Shanghai, it seems that you didn't follow the wrong person, it's much better than following me, haha!" ”

Xu Changsheng said politely: "I have to thank Head Hu for your cultivation." ”

The guard behind Hu Lian was also an old man of the 66th Regiment, and he was also very familiar with Xu Changsheng, and when he heard this, he said: "Battalion Commander Xu, you can't be called Regiment Commander Hu now, you should be called Brigade Commander Hu." ”

Bai Fei was surprised: "Oh? Could it be that Brother Hu, you have been promoted? ”

Hu Lian glared at the guard, blaming him for talking too much, but there was a clear smug look on his face, he waved his hand and said: "I have just been promoted to the commander of the 119th Infantry Brigade of the 67th Division, speaking of which, this is all thanks to your brother, if I hadn't fought side by side with you in Luodian at that time, where would I still be Hu Lian today." Let's go, I'll take you into the city to settle down first, and then let's talk slowly at the wine table! ”

……

After entering Nanjing City, Hu ** and his party were placed in a military camp around Xuanwu Lake. This was a special treatment, as most of the troops who had withdrawn from Shanghai to Nanking were placed on a few hills outside the city.

After arriving at the barracks, Li Hu came to ask for instructions: "Tuanzao, what about those doctors and nurses?" ”

Bai Fei then remembered this stubble and asked, "Why haven't they left yet?" ”

Li Hu shook his head.

Bai Fei said again: "Now that we have arrived in Nanjing, let them have units to invest in units, and those who don't have them will disperse." ”

Li Hu nodded and turned around, but it didn't take long for him to come back with a happy face and say to Bai Fei: "Tuanzao, there are four or five doctors and more than twenty nurses who are unwilling to leave, saying that they will follow us to protect **, and in the future, our brother who will protect ** will be injured and see a doctor..."

Hu Lian said on the side: "This is a good thing, now that there are frequent wars, medical personnel are very rare, if they are really willing to follow your brother, then your subordinates will not have to be afraid of being injured on the battlefield in the future, and they can be taken care of and treated at any time." ”

Bai Fei thought for a while and said: "Since they voluntarily stay, then so be it, Li Hu, you tell you to go down and take care of them, in addition, most of these people are women, warn the brothers, take care of your third leg, our military regulations can be written clearly, if something unpleasant happens, don't blame the law for being ruthless!" ”

Li Hu said: "Don't worry, it's from our province." I'll keep an eye on it myself, and if there's really someone who can't open his eyes, I will castrate him myself... By the way, there is a female doctor who takes the lead---- the same one I told you last time, clamoring to see you, I have to thank you in person, and I said that I want to ask you a few questions..."

Bai Fei nodded and said, "You go and call Wang Weiguo and take me to meet them, I also have a few words to say to them." ”

Hu Lian said: "Let's go, I'll go with you to see a lively scene..."

So the group came to a courtyard on the left side of the barracks, and as soon as they reached the door, they saw a beautiful woman running out. When the woman saw Bai Fei, a pair of beautiful eyes immediately shone brightly, she looked at Bai Fei from her head and feet several times, and Bai Fei was almost embarrassed when she looked at her, so she said: "General Bai, it's really not easy to see you..."

Bai Fei smiled. Li Hu whispered beside him: "I heard others call her Doctor Shi." ”

"This... Dr. Shi, I'm really sorry that I neglected Dr. Shi on the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, and I apologize to you. ”

Doctor Shi immediately became happy when he saw Bai Fei apologize, and said with a playful smile: "Forget it, I have a lot of adults, so I will forgive you!" ”

"Uh... Ahem..."Bai Fei was speechless, coughed, and continued: "I heard that Dr. Shi and a cadre of medical staff are reluctant to leave and want to stay in the nurse..."

Dr. Shi said, "Yes, but I still have a few questions I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer them seriously..."

Before Bai Fei could say anything, he heard her say again: "General Bai, the wonderful performance of you and your protector in the Songhu battlefield against Japan has now been widely praised by people, my colleagues and I admire you very much, this time we were rescued from the clutches of the Japanese by your men, so we are even more grateful, in order to repay the kindness, we decided to stay in the nurse, and in the future as a medical team to protect the **, to contribute to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War." However, I want to ask you, if we join the guardians, what will you do to us? Will it meet some of our reasonable requirements, such as the purchase of some advanced medical devices and medicines? Also, if we go on a campaign with the army, if the war is unfavorable, will you abandon us non-combatants when retreating, like other ** teams? ”
