On the morning of June 10, 1944. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Shanghai Offshore Sea, Shengsi Island.

It has been a few days since the trail moved to Shengsi Island. A few days ago, he lived on Bird and Flower Island, and the guards felt that the conditions were not good, so they invited him to come to Shengsi Island.

Shengsi Island tour one town, several villages. The people here make a living from fishing, only the people in the town are slightly richer, and the other fishermen live a very hard life, in the wind and rain, when they are fishing and selling, the price is very low, the fishing boat capital, the rent of fishing nets is very high, the price of selling living materials is very high, and the life is stripped by the rich people.

Fortunately, the fishermen guarded the sea and did not starve to death.

Xiaolu didn't care about these, people found a big yard for themselves, lived in it themselves, made delicious food, and let it go. When I was more leisurely, I took Xue Rui to the beach to run, once a day, and in the afternoon, I went to the beach to fish and catch shrimp, which was very happy.

It was the easiest few days on the trail in seven or eight years.

Although it is relaxed, I read the briefing every day without stopping. He was idle, but the staff officers were not idle at all, they had to be a telegraph collector, they had to send newspapers, and they had to sort out briefings.

The occupation of Europe has been very tense in the past few days, and the development has been very rapid, and the staff officers and guards, under the influence of Xiaolu, have a very international outlook, and are very concerned about the situation in Europe, even more concerned than Xiaolu, and every time there is new news, they will spontaneously discuss it, and every time they fight for it, they will ask him to judge when Xiaolu returns.

The Allied landings in Europe were finally successful, but they never worked. Strangled with the Germans for miles along the coast. A steady stream of German troops entered the battlefield, and the Allies crossed the strait in an endless stream. Boatloads of supplies for the Allies brought in soldiers, and shipwloads of wounded corpses were brought back.

The staff officers and guards were arguing about whether the Allies would be able to land and carry out the war in France smoothly. They had no idea that the fundamental reason for the ineffective progress of the Allies was the intelligence they sent to Hong Kong.

What does all this in Europe have to do with the path? In order not to cause any trouble, the trail kept the radio silent, only receiving and not sending. When receiving telegrams, he does not make any answers, which is basically engaging in radio monitoring.

Knowing the German mobilization of troops from northern and southern Europe, Xiaolu knew that the landing on the second battlefield would certainly not be an easy thing.

Historically, the strategic deception of the Normandy landings was very successful, and the resistance of only some resistance on Omaha beach, and the resistance of one regiment, was boasted about bloody beaches and so on, what a German machine gunner shot thousands of Allied soldiers, and so on. After the German reinforcements, the beach will be even bloodier.

After the landing, there will be a very large blocking battle in the depths of Normandy.

Both sides have disadvantages and advantages, and no one can talk about absolute superiority. Because the Allies would have a steady stream of reinforcements, the defeat of the Germans was doomed.

In the past few days, the staff officers have bought a very high-end radio in Shanghai, and a lot of information has been obtained from the radio. Xiaolu also listened to the radio for an hour in the evening, but asked the staff officers to take turns listening to the news of the world's major radio stations.

Why was Xiaolu able to move to Shengsi Island? Why is there money? Why can I buy a radio in Shanghai? In fact, in the past few days, the Shengsi Islands have been completely liberated.

The guards of that platoon were really powerful, and in the days when the small road received and received telegrams was most concentrated, they had liberated all the small islands nearby, except for the island where Shengsi County was located. They reduced rents and interest rates on the islands, suppressed traitors, suppressed bullies, and united the people.

With the help of the fishermen, they swept away the pirates on several islands, and the attack was very in line with the tactics of war, and they attacked the pirates, and only a few pirates escaped.

Soon, someone from northern Jiangsu came to pick up the relationship. These people had apparently received orders from someone and sent over thousands of the New Fourth Army.

As soon as these 1,000 people arrived, they worked with the guard platoon to liberate Shengsi Island, uproot the puppet regime on the island, and establish an anti-Japanese government.

The troops then set out for the archipelago off the coast of Zhejiang and began to liberate all the islands in the area. Shengsi Island is southeast of Shanghai and east of Hangzhou Bay in Zhejiang. There are many islands on the south side of Hangzhou Bay, Daishan and Zhoushan Islands. The Japanese army did not have a firm grip on this area, and it belonged to the zone of three irregularities.

These 1,000 men may have discipline and do not go to the islands to see the paths, but to the islands, fight pirates, and destroy the basic regime. Some of them were familiar with Shanghai, and if there was something going on, they went to Shanghai to do it, and that's how they bought their radios.

On the morning of June 16, 1944. Shanghai Offshore Sea. Shengsi Island.

Platoon Commander Zhao of the guard platoon came to the door of the room on the road and arrived: "Guard platoon leader Zhao Haisheng has come to report." ”

Xiaolu said: "Come in." ”

Zhao Haisheng came in and saw that Xiaolu was writing, about dozens of pages.

Zhao Haisheng: "Chief, are you looking for me?" ”

Xiao Lu said: "Do I call you Camp Commander Zhao or Captain Zhao?" ”

Zhao Haisheng: "Chief, you know everything?" ”

Xiaolu said: "What do I know? ”

Zhao Haisheng: "Report to the chief, member of the Marine Corps preparatory group, and former battalion commander of the Navy Security Force, Zhao Haisheng reports to you." On the orders of the Navy, I temporarily served as the commander of the guard platoon, took the initiative to ensure your safety, and feared that it would affect your physical cultivation, so I took it upon myself to liberate the nearby villages and islands. I beg your pardon. ”

Xiaolu said: "That's right. How could a platoon commander be so capable. I think you can be the head of the regiment. ”

Zhao Haisheng: "Don't dare, please ask the chief to point out the matter of the Marine Corps." ”

Xiaolu said: "This is what I prepared for you." I knew that Daniel Zhang and Zhang Xuesi sent you to me, and there must be their calculations. ”

Zhao Haisheng smiled all of a sudden, and said, "I'll just tell the truth." He took the stack of papers, looked at them, and said, "Okay." That's how we trained. To tell you the truth, the soldiers in my platoon are actually cadres, and the youngest is the platoon commander. ”

Xiaolu said: "Sit down." Are you from Shandong? ”

Zhao Haisheng: "A native of Changdao, Shandong, he joined the army in Dalian six years ago. ”

Xiaolu said: "The Japanese aircraft carrier was near your house a few days ago?" ”

Zhao Haisheng: "Yes." When the battle was over, I was still going home. ”

Xiaolu said: "How are you at home?" ”

Zhao Haisheng: "Yes, it's all right." ”

Xiaolu said: "Where were you at that time?" ”

Zhao Haisheng: "My mission is to capture the oil supply ship. ”

Xiaolu said: "I heard that there is a company commander who worked hard to avoid the devil's fried oil, is you?" ”

Zhao Haisheng: "It's me." ”

Xiaolu said: "Recently, the New Fourth Army sent a thousand people for similar purposes to you, some of them want me to train naval officers, and some want me to train Marine Corps officers. ”

Zhao Haisheng: "These people are really bad, you are not in good health, and you will not let you be idle." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaolu and said, "Including me." ”

Xiaolu said: "You go and gather all the cadres above the platoon level of the two units and gather here at noon tomorrow." There will be a meeting at noon, and classes will start in the afternoon. ”

June 16, 1944 at noon. Shengsi Island.

Zhao Haisheng got a big house, and the cadres gathered and invited Xiaolu to speak

Looking at the cadres who filled the yard, Xiaolu said: "Thank you for your hard work." It was long ago necessary to gather everyone. The main reason for delaying for so long is that it took me some time to prepare the materials. I don't have anything in my stomach and I don't dare to speak in front of you. ”

The crowd laughed.

Xiao Lu continued: "In the morning, I had a meeting with several leaders among you and understood your purpose. Your chief wants to take advantage of my time to help you and train you into the navy and marines. ”

Everyone nodded.

Xiaolu: "I must say, when it comes to water, any of you are better than me. When it comes to sailing, any of you can be my master. So, I have to train you with knowledge that you don't know. The water is good, and many fishermen can do it. I don't train fishermen, I train the navy, the marines. ”

The crowd became serious.

Xiaolu continued: "I assume that you all have culture. Those with low literacy should learn immediately and learn from others. Those with high education are responsible for tutoring everyone. If you dare to be a deserter, then leave quickly. That's the first requirement. You have to have thoughts, you have to be able to think for yourself. I do not doubt that you are all excellent soldiers, however, ordinary soldiers have been obeyed by their vocation, and you, to create an army, must be ambitious, creative. This is the second requirement. After the requirements are finished, say the goal. When we build the Navy and build the Marine Corps, we must have a goal, learn from this goal, and eventually catch up with him and have the ambition to surpass him. ”

The crowd began to focus.

"Our target is the navies of the United States, Britain, and Japan. Below, I put the landing battles that have taken place in Europe in recent days. Let's start with an example. ”

Xiaolu recounted in detail the recent Allied landing operations.

Xiaolu said: "Just now, I told you all the basic information about the operation of this Allied landing. Everyone wants to work in the navy, and I ask you, what have you seen through this campaign? ”

"The powerful artillery fire of the Navy is the key to a successful landing."

"Marines, we must have Marines."

"Airborne Forces, Airborne Forces play a big role."

"It's too expensive."

Xiaolu said: "Who said it was too expensive? ”

Zhao Haisheng: "It's me." ”

Xiaolu said: "Well said. Everyone goes on. What is known about the main tasks of the Marine Corps? ”

"Grab the beach!" "Take the island." "Airborne." "Scouting." "Landing in Japan." "Mobilize the common people."

Xiaolu said: "Who said to mobilize the common people? ”

A cadre stood up and said, "It's me." ”

Xiaolu said: "Why did you think of this? ”

Cadre: "The Navy can't do anything without civilians, especially now." ”

Xiaolu said: "That's right. Now, in addition to the Japanese and fishermen, there are also pirates at sea. Most of the pirates are fishermen who cannot survive, and they become pirates when they take risks. To work in the navy, you must have a base, and the people are very important. Take a look at this sketch of the sea. Tell me, where do you want to build a base? Why? Say why. ”

"Dalian. It is close to Japan. ”

"Qingdao, close to Japan."

"Fujian, you can cut off the route of the Japanese."

"Hainan Island. Can participate in the Pacific War. ”

"Shanghai, you can control the back road of the Japanese."

Xiao Lu said: "Today's class is over. Everyone elected the cadres of the training class and came to me to receive the materials. I don't care about your own management. Go back and discuss it, and everybody participates. Divide yourself into small groups and write an essay in each group. Don't tell me that you want to build the first navy power, the more specific the better. It's best to ask questions. It's acceptable to ask questions throughout the article. Tomorrow afternoon, here, everyone will exchange their articles. ”
