Dong Ku led the team all the way back to Shanghai, cleared several fleeing Japanese troops along the way, and returned to downtown Shanghai without hindrance and entered Hongkou.

At this time, the clean-up work of the Japanese in Hongkou was nearing completion, and Dong Ku looked at the hundreds of trucks of all sizes loaded with belongings on the street, and felt this resentment in his heart.

The speed of the fierce battle was too fast, and the battle was chaotic, and there was no chance for the Japanese to carry out the transfer or destruction. All the factories in Hongkou were preserved, and then those traitors and pro-Japanese elements were quickly screened out, except for ordinary workers, all were concentrated, and those found to be true were shot on the spot and their property confiscated.

Although Dong Ku was also very tired, it was impossible for him to sleep here, he arranged for the five hundred guards and the members of the guards company to rest for five hours, and he took the No. 5 and No. 6 who had just changed their clothes, and Zuo Boyang, who also changed into a camouflage uniform, and kept walking in various areas, listening to the reports of the fierce battles nearby.

After returning more than 20 minutes later, after learning that there was no suspense in the battle, and that only the scattered Japanese troops and Japanese who were hiding in the city were captured, Dong Ku returned to the temporary command center and repair shop, ordered the property to enter the repair shop, ordered all bank accounts to be exchanged, left the silver dollars and banknotes inside, and transported the gold and all the utensils, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings to the concession and sent to a secret storage location.

There, there is a relatively complete ventilation system, and these things will not be damaged if they are preserved. Besides, Dong Ku naturally won't let it go, but the time has not yet come. How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? He only needs to stabilize Britain and the United States and other countries for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to recover the concession. It is the territory of the Chinese, of course, it will not be ceded to others!

After finishing all this work, he telegraphed Sun Tao and asked Sun Tao's army to cooperate with Yu Lei's troops and concentrate all the artillery. Take Danyang as fast as possible, capture Zhenjiang, and defeat the defenders there.

When Yu Lei's telegram came back saying that all the defenders of Nanjing had fled, Dong Ku was furious.

He didn't blame Yu Lei, Yu Lei only had two divisions there, which was not enough to fight a war of annihilation. This is a problem of coordinated operations, and it is the reason why Gu Zhutong has preserved his strength and failed to complete the encirclement. He didn't care too much about missing the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, he hated the escape of the 16th Division Nakajima Imakago, and hated the escape of the 16th Division and the 114th Division that were stained with blood, these two divisions, he would never let go.

"Oh yes! You won't survive if you run to the edge of the sky!! ”

Dong Ku looked at the telegram and his face turned pale, and the murderous aura that permeated his body was like substance, which made the guards feel a chill.

Zuo Boyang glanced at Dong Ku. There was no expression on the painted face, and the long hair fluttered, but he did not speak.

Dong Ku took a deep breath, waited for his abdomen to be full, and then spit it out, calmed down his emotions, and ordered: "Send electricity, and let Sun Tao's army build an artillery position." Ling Yu Lei pursued steadily and bit the 16th Division. Don't rush into a surprise attack, don't be afraid to waste shells, attack and kill as many times as possible at a long range, and be ready to defeat the enemy in Danyang and Zhenjiang at any time! ”

No. 5 was ordered to generate electricity quickly.

Dong Ku let out a long breath. He did not order the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese troops there, but in fact there were nearly 100,000 Japanese troops there, and six divisions in two places. There is no way to achieve encirclement and annihilation within a range of more than ten kilometers. It can only be defeated, killed as much as possible, leave their baggage, capture Danyang and Zhenjiang, and prepare to attack Yangzhou.

His order had just been given. A group of soldiers covered in blood entered the repair shop, and one by one they came to the open space in an orderly manner, opened the backpacks, and put the contents into several large piles of goods, and handed them over to the soldiers who cleaned up.

This is stipulated by Dong Ku, one is to avoid entrainment and private possession, and the other is to reduce the burden on them. After all, there is still a battle to be fought.

Dong Ku stood there, watching these soldiers digging out their things in the same way, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

When did these honest recruits learn to clean to the best of their ability?

In addition to the bullets and grenades that they could not carry, the pens and watches they took out were normal, but they did not even let go of half a box of cigarettes and foreign fires, and a soldier actually carried bags of salt and soy sauce and dried vegetable soup from the Japanese military rations in his backpack.

"These boys, is this a war or a life......

Dong Ku muttered with a smile.

Zuo Boyang looked at the soldiers sorting the items and said: "Captain, the people take food as the sky, and they are used to living a hard life, and it is inevitable that they will live, where have they seen so many foreign fires?" Usually the fire is made with flint, and the foreign fire is just a luxury item that can only be used by the upper class. ”

Zuo Boyang's words made Dong Ku's heart move, and he secretly reminded himself that there were mostly civilians in his team, and he must not have this kind of problem that looks down on them, and he must let them out of poverty in the shortest possible time, at least, and live the life they think is a superior person!

The troops entering the city were endless, and the speed was very fast, and they lined up in long lines to gather supplies in several places, and they should take a short rest, and after cleaning up their backpacks, they assembled and set off, rushing to the surrounding positions where they were still fighting, and speeding up the speed of cleaning up the remnants of the enemy and cleaning up the battlefield.

Dong Ku had expected to end the assault on Shanghai in two days, but now it seemed that one day was enough to clear all the remaining enemies. The big battle was gone, and only the small detachment of the Japanese army that had fled from the periphery was separated.

Dong Ku looked down at the table below, it was not yet twelve o'clock at this time, he was about to announce to the outside world that Shanghai had been recaptured, there was a roar of trucks outside the repair shop, and then, in the sound of jumping out of the car, several trucks full of supplies and people hanging next to the carriage entered the compound.

Bloodied figures jumped out of the truck, quickly lined up, and lined up to clean up the supplies, and the truck, on the other hand, drove forward and stopped behind the two trucks in the courtyard waiting to enter the garage.

"Huh?"

Dong Ku saw that there were several slender soldiers in this team of figures whose faces could no longer be seen, although they were wearing the same camouflage uniforms, and their bodies and faces were covered with dry plasma mixed with gunsmoke, but their postures could still be different.

Zuo Boyang also noticed it and turned his head.

At the moment when the two of them turned their eyes, a figure with a long-handled knife on his back and coagulated blood clots all over his body walked over, then showed his white teeth, raised his hand and saluted: "The women's special combat team has completed the raid mission and has now returned to clean up the backpack." ”

Before she could speak, Dong Ku had already identified who it was. He returned the salute and stepped forward nervously. Holding back the hand that was about to be stretched out, he asked with concern, "Are you hurt?" ”

"No injuries."

The smile on Shui Linglong's face is actually ugly with plasma wrapping, but it is very comfortable in her heart. She could feel Dong Ku's nervousness and concern for him. She also resisted the urge to step forward and hug Dong Ku, and said with her mouth open.

"He said he wasn't hurt."

Dong Ku looked away from her face, and when he saw the long slit on the clothes around her waist, his heart twitched. Nervously asked, "Is it heavy?" ”

"No trouble, no bleeding."

Shui Linglong covered the hole in her clothes and said with a smile.

"It's a sword, you've met a master?"

Dong Ku raised his gaze and stared. He knew that Lu Dao Shui was exquisite, even if he couldn't win, the dodge ability of light body kung fu would never make people sword and body, and he was almost cut in half, obviously the other party was a master.

"yes!"

At this time, Shui Yao'er cleaned up her backpack. ran over and said, "You don't know Brother-in-law, that guy almost injured Sister Linglong, we didn't react, the speed is so terrifying, even Sister Linglong's flying knife can split and fly." ”

"Huh?"

Dong Ku and Zuo Boyang, who had just come over, glanced at each other, and he was very shocked in his heart. The flying knife that can slash the water exquisitely, whether it is in battle or when it pounces, this guy's knife speed and eye locking. They are all masters.

Shui Yao'er didn't have so many ideas, she said to herself: "If it weren't for my sister, she would wear cloud feet." You won't see my sister anymore. ”

Dong Ku thought deeply of what Shui Yao'er said, and was able to force Shui Linglong to use the flying knife and rely on the cloud piercing feet to win, this person's strength was obviously on par with Shui Linglong, or even higher.

Shui Linglong didn't let this topic continue, she tugged Yao'er for a moment, pulled out the slender and straight knife with her hand and said, "This person's knife is very good." I've never seen it before. ”

The moment Dong Ku pulled out the knife from Shui Linglong, he and Zuo Boyang were both moved. The cold air shows that this knife is definitely not bad.

It was also the first time that Zuo Boyang had seen this kind of knife that looked like a sword, but it was a single-edged and thick-backed knife, so he reached out and took it and looked at it. Fingers stroked the blade of the knife and praised: "It's a good knife, it should be an antiquity!" ”

Dong Ku recognized the origin of this knife at a glance, and took over the conversation and said: "This is a superb Oriental sword, a weapon used by Japanese samurai. ”

"Can the Japanese make such a good sword?"

Zuo Boyang looked at Dong Ku in surprise, obviously not believing in the provenance of this knife.

Dong Ku couldn't explain in detail, the Japanese learned the forging technique from China, and it was nothing new for the forging technique of the Tang sword to be mastered. He didn't answer, took the knife handed by Zuo Boyang and asked, "He still has at least one rib and a hidden weapon on his body, didn't he drop it." ”

"Nope."

Shui Linglong learned that this knife was good, and she was in a good mood, so as she spoke, she put down her backpack, rummaged through it, found the delicately made ribs and a bag of things, and handed it to Dong Ku.

Dong Ku handed back the knife, took the ribs and cloth bag, pulled out the ribs and praised: "It's also a divine soldier!" The guy you killed was a Japanese shogunate, and he should be a descendant of an ancient martial arts family. ”

As he spoke, he showed the handwriting engraved on the ribs to Shui Linglong.

"Shogunate ......"

Shui Linglong and Shui Yao'er obviously didn't know what kind of character this was, Zuo Boyang seemed to know what to do, nodded and said: "It should be the main branch of the lineage, otherwise it will not carry the ribs of this symbol, even if it is captured, it will not dare to use it." ”

Dong Ku handed the ribs back to Shui Linglong and instructed: "Linglong, you put away this knife and ribs, keep it for yourself, there are few knives that can reach this level now, obviously the material of the knife is relatively rare, good thing!" ”

Shui Linglong glanced at the Spartan war knife stuck in Dong Ku's back, gave up the idea of giving it to him, and put it away excitedly.

In the cloth bag, in addition to the cross and hexagonal shuriken, there are also six or seven kinds of ninja's hidden weapons such as blowing loss, and there are all kinds of them.

Dong Ku looked at the blue shuriken and said: "These are reserved for use when it is critical, the method is just to spin and fly out, the key is to pay attention, do not touch them with your skin, they are all fed with poison, and most of them are incomprehensible." ”

Dong Ku's voice fell, Shui Linglong's heart tightened, so she didn't say anything. She is a person who practices martial arts, although she disdains to feed poison on hidden weapons, but she doesn't mind using it for those who are treacherous and evil. However, Shui Yao'er was at the stall where Dong Ku's voice fell, and the lightning withdrew to take a hidden weapon to look at a fresh hand, like a snake and scorpion.

Dong Ku wrapped the cloth bag, handed it to Shui Linglong, and said with a smile: "Linglong, let your team rest for five hours, return to the team before dark, and you don't need to participate in the battle outside." ”

"Okay."

Shui Linglong put away these bits and pieces, inserted the Oriental knife, and answered, and then, took out the bloodstained walkie-talkie and ordered: "All the team members clean up their backpacks and assemble, find a spacious camping location, set up a guard, and rest on the spot for five hours!" ”

Dong Ku also took out his walkie-talkie and ordered: "The groups attacking from Hongkou listen to the order, end the battle around them as soon as possible, and return to Hongkou to rest and rest for five hours." ”

After giving the order, he looked at his watch, turned his head and ordered: "Give the base camp electricity, Shanghai has been recaptured!" ”

"Yes!"

Five shouted the order, then turned and left to generate electricity.

A few minutes later, the voice of Huaxia sounded.

"What?!"

Lao Jiang stopped in surprise at the Chongqing official residence, the joy of the recapture of Nanjing had not yet dissipated on his face, and he was shocked that the advance army had recaptured Shanghai.

That's too fast! I only received a report from Ma Rulong, saying that the gunfire in Hongkou and the surrounding areas of Shanghai was continuous, and the battle was over in just a few hours?

Great powers such as Britain and the United States were also taken aback. Shanghai is not a small city, and there are quite a few Japanese troops, and the battle ended in just a few hours? Is this a war? It's a car tour!

Is the advance army really so powerful?

Roosevelt and Churchill were shocked to come up with this idea.

Lao Xi squinted his eyes and pondered, in his judgment, the combat effectiveness of the advance army was far inferior to his own side, and the battle in Shanghai could end so quickly, was this the combat effectiveness of the advance army strong or his quasi-ally too weak?

In the Soviet district, the chairman was also a little surprised. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the advance army could be seen from the information from Lao Zhao that it was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

They didn't know what to do, and there were actually only four or five thousand Huya and one or two thousand veterans who attacked Shanghai, and the rest were all new soldiers, recruits who had just entered the battlefield not long ago. The combat effectiveness is far inferior to the main force in Heilongjiang.

People from all walks of life and ordinary people did not have so many ideas, they only knew that Nanjing had just been recaptured, and a few hours later, the great victory in Shanghai came again. Although it was the result of the battle of the three armies, it did not delay their celebration.

The streets and alleys are noisy with gongs and drums, and everyone is more excited than the festival. According to their feelings, if the war proceeded at this rate, it would be over in a month or two at most, and at the beginning of winter. (To be continued......)
