"What? One of the material warehouses of the Japanese was bombed? ”

"Yes, the intelligence is very accurate. Our troops on the front line saw the explosion of the Japanese supply warehouse, and even risked their lives to send plainclothes reconnaissance, it is said that last night, a group of our people raided this material warehouse, and the son of a Japanese chief of staff was killed. ”

Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, felt a little unbelievable after confirming this information.

Now the situation of the entire Battle of Songhu is very unfavorable to the Chinese side, and many important positions have been broken through, and it is believed that the goal of sniping the enemy in Shanghai has been roughly completed, and preparations are being made for retreat.

"Which of our troops did it, do you know it?"

"Our plainclothes scouts didn't dare to probe too much, and only faintly heard the word 'king'"

"Go and find out the situation immediately, you must find out who did it, I want to reward him well!" Xue Yue raised his voice.

In such a passive situation, being able to blow up the Japanese army's material warehouses was of great help to boost morale.

"Commander Xue, the German advisor, Lieutenant Colonel Pmande, is here."

"Oh, Lieutenant Colonel Pumande, please." Xue Yue sorted out his military uniform.

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Pumand walked in with a strange foreigner. Xue Yue greeted him: "Lieutenant Colonel, now that the battle here is so tense, why are you here." ”

"German soldiers are not afraid of war." Lieutenant Colonel Pumand said with a smile. Then he whispered to Xue Yue: "General Xue, this is our Führer's special envoy to China, and he is also the Führer's most trusted General Steck. ”

"Hello, General Steck." Xue Yue was taken aback when he heard that the other party was so big.

"General Xue, hello." Surprisingly, Steck actually answered Xue Yue in blunt Chinese.

Xue Yue was a little surprised: "General Steck." You can speak Chinese. ”

"Ah, I learned some a long time ago, with a Chinese in the German army. And that was at the time of the war in Europe."

War in Europe? Chinese? Chinese in the German army? Xue Yue was confused when he heard it.

Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Pumande knew the story: "General Xue, please don't be curious, yes. In the German army of the time of Kaiser Wilhelm. There is indeed a Chinese, he is called Four Knives"

Hearing such a strange and strange name of "Four Knives", Xue Yue was amused and curious, how could anyone call it this name?

"His name is Guo Yunfeng"

Steck continued to say the name in his stiff Chinese, but had to admit that he had learned so bad that he had not spoken it for so many years, and he had almost forgotten it. I still made up for it when I came to China. As a result, the three words "Guo Yunfeng" sounded "Gu Yusong" in Xue Yue's ears.

"Gu Yusong," Xue Yue muttered the name.

"He is a very heroic Chinese." Steck changed the phrase to German: "He has done many things for Germany." He was also awarded the Iron Cross of the First Class. Unfortunately, he died in 1918 and was posthumously awarded the title of German captain. Ah, our Baron Alexon also speaks Chinese, he speaks much better than I do"

The translator told Xue Yue this passage in its entirety, and Xue Yue sighed when he heard it. I really didn't expect that there was such a Chinese captain in the German army, why had I never heard of it in the past?

While thinking there, Steck waved his hand: "Well, that's all in the past. This time I came to China, and in addition to the things that some heads of state told me, I also received an assignment to check the situation of our advisory group here. I have heard that the Seckert Line, which the German advisory group had suggested for construction, had been broken through in many places and was almost dismantled. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Pumande's face turned red: "I'm sorry, General, the Japanese offensive is very fierce"

"No!" Without hesitation, Steck interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Pmande: "On the way here, I have carefully read the drawings, and there is a serious problem with your design!" Lieutenant colonel, you see, the entire line of defense lacks depth! Depth, you know? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Pumand didn't dare to say a word, and Steck waved his arm:

"This is an unforgivable mistake! We have already suffered such losses in the war in Europe, but we Skeleton Commandos have not! When Baron Alexon was directing the defensive operations, he repeatedly emphasized the question of depth, which is why we have been able to hold out for so long in Montforton under the absolute disadvantage of being at a disadvantage."

Xue Yue heard him mention "Baron Alexon" twice, and was a little curious.

He had also heard before that there was a very famous general in Germany, and even if the whole of Germany failed, he never failed. It seems to be called "Baron Skeleton" or "Baron Rose", and some people call him "St. Ernst", probably this Baron Alexon, right?

"Also, you're so old-fashioned!" Steck almost roared there: "You have mechanized troops as a strategic reserve, but they are placed in Nanjing. You don't know what China's roads are like! From Nanjing to Shanghai, the car has to drive for more than 20 hours! God, when your so-called mechanized troops arrive, the battle is over! If you make such a mistake in Skeleton Commando, you will be shot! ”

Then, he said to Xue Yue: "General Xue, I sincerely apologize to you for the mistakes made by the German advisers. ”

"Ah, no, General Steck, you don't have to." Xue Yue was a little embarrassed: "However, we are now thinking about retreating. Hope you have a good suggestion. ”

"General Xue, I am only in charge of the inspection, and I can't command the advisory group" Steck was silent: "However, I personally advise you that when retreating, you must have a complete route and send a strong force to block the enemy's pursuit. At the same time, it is better to send a number of more tactical assault teams to constantly harass the Japanese army"

He put forward his opinions very carefully, and these coincided with what Xue Yue thought.

However, the idea is good, and it is a little difficult to judge the current capabilities of the national army

"There is still good news," Xue Yue muttered, "At least we took out a Japanese material warehouse last night."

After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Pumande's translation, Steck became a little interested: "Is it? Finished up a Japanese material warehouse? ”

Xue Yue nodded and told Steck what he had.

Steck became excited: "Hey, that's a good job, it's supposed to be like this." Especially if your strength is not as strong as the opponent's, keep attacking and try your best to consume the enemy's strength. Ah, I lost a supply warehouse, which reminds me of the time when I followed Baron Alexon to take out the Russian supply base. Mr. General, you should reward the commander of that commando."

"But I don't know who he is," Xue Yue smiled bitterly.

"It's a pity that I'm going back to Nanjing, otherwise I should have met in person." Stecka said with a little regret: "Good luck, Mr. General. ”

"Xie Lu, General Steck."

"Brigade Commander Zhu, Captain and Company Commander of the Special Service Company of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the Central Teaching Corps, Wang Weiyi!"

The truck that suddenly appeared in front of him made Zhu Zaitang, the commander of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, unable to react for a while.

How did a captain show up here with a few soldiers and a truck?

Not far away, there was the rumbling of artillery, and it looked like the Japanese were about to launch another large-scale attack.

In yesterday's battle, Zhu Zaitang personally led the team and recaptured the front-line position of Li Zhai, and the Japanese army will definitely retaliate.

"Brigade Commander Zhu, I have sent you a batch of weapons and ammunition, please send someone to carry it."

The words of Captain Wang Weiyi made Zhu Zaitang stunned, almost suspecting that he had misheard: "What did you say? ”

"I've sent you a batch of weapons and ammunition!"

Zhu Zaitang came to the truck suspiciously, and when he saw that the truck was really full of weapons and ammunition, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Wang Weiyi's hand, and his excited voice became trembling: "Oh, Brother Wang, you really saved our lives!" Yesterday, in order to recapture the Li Mansion, we used everything we could, and when the Japanese army attacked again, the brothers could only fight with them with their bare hands, and this batch of things of yours helped us a lot! ”

Wang Weiyi smiled slightly: "Brigade Commander Zhu is polite, you and I are friendly neighbors, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

Wang Weiyi is just a captain and company commander, but if he said such a thing to a brigade commander, he would have been reprimanded before, but now Zhu Zaitang is too late to be grateful, where will he pay attention to what the other party said?

"Brigade Commander Zhu, come and see." Wang Weiyi asked someone to bring the map: "Your defense line is adjacent to my Sanhe Bridge, no matter who can't support it, you can give support." So, I thought we could send liaison officers to each other and keep each other informed of the state of the war. ”

Zhu Zaitang was a little puzzled at this time: "Brother Wang, how many people do you have?" ”

"More than six hundred people."

"More than six hundred?"

"Yes, I have gathered some defeated soldiers, it is an extraordinary period, and it doesn't matter what the establishment is or not, when I see someone passing by, I will force the strong Ding."

Zhu Zaitang laughed, and then nodded: "Okay, Brother Wang, our task is to be responsible for guarding the big field, we have made up our minds, no matter who the situation there is critical, we will immediately send troops to rescue." ”

"That's what it means, Brigadier Zhu!" (To be continued.) )
