Chapter 177: Beacon Fire in Beijing and Shanghai (27)
Since the fall of Shanghai, the atmosphere in Nanjing has also become tense. Many schools and factories were closed at this time. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Dai Mengxin received a telegram from Tang Xingshang, and immediately discussed it with several other women in the family, and according to the list on the telegram, he got busy.
The movements of these girls were still very fast, and just after six o'clock in the evening, everyone converged to the Hongjia Manor on the outskirts of Nanjing.
"Xue'er, are you all here?!" Hearing Dai Mengxin's inquiry, Sikong Wuxue, who was in charge of the number of people in the list, replied: "Third sister, everyone has already arrived." Now what do we do?! ”
Dai Mengxin said: "Let them rest here for the night, and tomorrow morning, send someone to send them to Chengdu." ”
Xiao Bing said, "Third sister, who are you going to let send them?!" ”
Dai Mengxin was slightly stunned, looked at Xiao Bing, and asked, "Fourth sister, do you have a good idea?!" ”
Xiao Bing pondered for a while and said, "Third sister, I have a candidate, and he is very suitable to send them to Chengdu instead of us." ”
Dai Mengxin asked, "Are you talking about Bai Zhiqi?!" ”
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, "He has already left Nanjing. ”
Dai Mengxin frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you going to find?!" ”
"Hee-hee!" Xiao Bing smirked and said, "Third sister, I'm talking about Old Man Lu who is looking at the warehouse. He is the old man of the Hong family. I'm sure he'll be up to the task. ”
Dai Mengxin hesitated slightly, nodded in agreement, and said, "Okay! I'll go talk to Uncle Lu. It really doesn't work, so we'll make other plans. ”
Lao Lu is the old man of the Hong family, Dai Mengxin found Lao Lu and briefly said his intentions. Lao Lu readily agreed to Dai Mengxin's request. After getting Lao Lu's answer, Dai Mengxin's hanging heart was half relieved. Early the next morning, just after dawn, five trucks drove out of Hong's house.
After sending the people away, Dai Mengxin returned to his room and sent a telegram to Tang Xingshang to report his safety.
"Brother Yu, my nerd sent a telegram." Half an hour later, Tang Xingshang delivered the telegram he had just received to Hong Yu. Hong Yu read the content of the telegram and said, "Are those girls quite fast?!" I found them all so quickly. ”
Tang Xingshang said: "Brother Yu, it's not that they move fast, but that they are lucky. Now they asked Lao Lu to send people to Chengdu, and it would be safe there. ”
Hong Yu nodded slightly, raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, and said to Tang Xingye: "Xingye, you tell the old cat the news." Also, tell them to prepare. After dark, we left Wuxi. ”
"Yes!" Tang Xingye answered and left quickly.
As time went on, it gradually got dark. After dinner, Hong Yu quietly left Wuxi with people. The group marched overnight and came to a place not far from Changshu at dawn. Listening to the sound of gunshots and grenade explosions coming from ahead, Gao Ming walked to Hong Yu's side and said, "Head, the battle ahead is so lively, it seems that the devil is attacking Changshu!" Shall we join in the fun?! ”
Hong Yu shook his head and said, "You listen carefully to the gunshots. ”
Gao Ming was stunned, and listened carefully according to Hong Yu's instructions. After a while, Gao Ming said: "There is only the sound of the three eight big covers and crooked handles." Saying that, Gao Ming reacted, looked at Hong Yu and said, "Head, what do you mean Changshu has been lost?!" ”
Hong Yu nodded silently. Tang Xingye, who was standing on the side, asked, "Brother Yu, what should we do?!" ”
Hong Yu glanced at Tang Xingye and said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing!" You only know when you see it! With that, Hong Yu left Tang Xingye and Gao Ming and walked forward.
Looking at Hong Yu's back, Tang Xingye and Gao Ming glanced at each other and kept up with Hong Yu's footsteps.
When Hong Yu and his people were about to arrive outside Changshu City, bursts of screams and frightened screams reached the ears of Hong Yu and others. Then I saw a few little devils with Type 38 rifles, chasing a few young women out of the city. Seeing this scene, Hong Yu picked up the submachine gun without saying a word and shot at the devil.
Caught off guard, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing the girl were all shot and fell to the ground. Gao Ming immediately ran forward, pulled several women behind Hong Yu, and asked, "Are you all right?!" ”
A young woman in professional attire shook her head and replied, "It's fine." ”
Tang Xingshang then asked, "How is the situation in the city now?!" ”
The young woman replied, "The little devil has entered the city." Burn and loot in the city. ”
Hong Yu turned his head to glance at the young woman and asked, "Who are you?!" ”
The young woman replied, "My name is Lu Liya, and I am a reporter for the Declaration. Saying that, the young woman touched the pocket on her body, took out a document from the left pocket and handed it to Hong Yu, saying, "This is my press card." ”
Hong Yu gave Xiang Tang Xingye a look. Tang Xingye took the document with understanding, looked through it, nodded at Hong Yu, and then returned the document to Lu Liya.
Hong Yu said to Tang Xingshang: "Give them some money and let them go!" ”
"Yes!" Tang Xingshang took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into Lu Liya's hand, saying, "Wuxi has not been occupied by the Japanese army. You can go to Wuxi first, and then hire a car to go to Nanjing. ”
Lu Liya said: "I don't want money! I know that you are a national army, and I am now a war correspondent, and I will follow you. ”
Tang Xingshang heard Lu Liya's words and looked at Hong Yu with an inquiring look. Hong Yu didn't think about it, stood up, waved his hand, and led people towards Changshu City. When Tang Xingshang saw Hong Yu and them walking towards the city, he immediately stuffed the money in his hand into Lu Liya's hand, turned his head and followed Hong Yu.
Lu Liya, the woman, was also stubborn, distributed the money in her hand to several other women, turned her heart sideways, and chased after Hong Yu and the others in the direction where they left.
"Brother Yu, that female reporter is following, what should I do?!" Hear Gao Mei's question. Hong Yu turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "People don't die, since she is in a hurry to die, let her go." Let's go! ”
Hearing Hong Yu's words, Tang Xingye and the others glanced at each other, and followed Hong Yu to continue walking towards the city. It didn't take long for Hong Yu to lead people to encounter the little devil. Because Hong Yu had strong firepower, and some of them appeared suddenly, the devils in the city were caught off guard. In the blink of an eye, Hong Yu took control of a small area with people.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was repulsed and a new attack had not yet been organized, Hong Yu said to Tang Xingshang: "You take five people to organize the people in the city to go out of the city. Remember, you only have an hour. An hour later, we evacuated Changshu. ”
"Yes!" Tang Xingye answered and left with someone. After Tang Xingye left, Hong Yu led people to set up a temporary position. After seven or eight minutes of busyness, a simple makeshift position was completed. Hiding behind the position, Hong Yu checked the weapon in his hand and said to Gao Ming with a smile: "Old cat, I heard that your sister is a big beauty. Why are you so stumbling?! ”
Gao Ming replied with a smile: "I follow my father, and my sister follows my mother." When my mother was young, she was a famous beauty in our ten miles and eight villages. ”
Hong Yu looked up and looked out for a moment, and then said: "The little devil will be beaten by us sooner or later, what are your plans?!" ”
Gao Ming replied: "What else can I plan, my wife and children are hot on the kang." After beating the little devil, find a beautiful daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat boy. Then find my sister a mother-in-law. I'll be satisfied for the rest of my life! Gao Ming's face showed a yearning expression as he spoke.
When Hong Yu heard Gao Ming's words, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "If you want to realize this dream, the premise is that you kid must live well." ”
Gao Ming smirked twice at Hong Yu and said, "Don't forget, my nickname is Old Cat." Cats have nine lives, and my life is long! ”
Just as Hong Yu and Gao Ming were laughing, Lu Liya walked to their side. Seeing Lu Liya, the smile on Gao Ming's face disappeared in an instant. Hong Yu saw Gao Ming's sudden change of color, and turned his head to look behind him. Seeing Lu Liya squatting behind him, her brows instantly wrinkled into the word "Chuan".
Lu Liya seemed to know what Hong Yu was thinking, and asked with a disapproving face, "Are you here to recover Changshu?!" ”
Hong Yu pretended not to hear, turned around, picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, and saw the Japanese soldiers in groups of three or five with guns cautiously rushing towards them, and ordered: "Prepare to fight!" ”
"Yes!" Hearing Hong Yu's words, the people around him immediately got ready. There was a sound of a bolt pulling.
As time passed, watching the Japanese army get closer and closer, when the Japanese army's bayonet was about to reach them, Hong Yu stood up with a submachine gun, and shouted loudly while pulling the trigger: "Fight! ”
"Da Da ......" rang out a dense burst of gunfire along the position, and the bullets roared like a raging storm towards the Japanese troops. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldiers who rushed in front fell down one after another.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, my troops in Changshu City have been stubbornly resisted by the Zhi Na Army, and they have suffered heavy casualties!"
"Nani?!" Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, the commander of the 11th Division, heard the soldier's report, and showed a faint puzzled expression on his face, looked at the chief of staff Katamura Shihachi Daisa on the side, and asked, "Katamura-kun, didn't you say that the branch stationed in Changshu has already retreated?!" Why are there still soldiers in Changshu City?! ”
Katamura replied, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is very likely that these are some stragglers of the Zhina Army who did not have time to escape. They don't pose a threat to us at all. ”
"Yaga!" Yamamuro Zongwu scolded angrily and said, "No matter what, the existence of these people is a hidden danger. I'll give you half an hour. Within half an hour, the remnants of the city must be cleared of the soldiers. ”
"Hey!" Katamura Shihachi Dasa responded and left in a hurry.
