As early as 1932, the Japanese army had already signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" in Shanghai through the mediation of Britain, the United States, France, and Italy, stationed more than two brigades of marines in Shanghai, and more than 20 warships were cruising on the Yangtze River estuary and the Huangpu River.

After the Terauchi Shouichi offensive was blocked, the Japanese top brass launched the strategic goal of attacking Shanghai. They believed that as long as Shanghai was taken, Nanjing would be within reach. As long as Nanjing is taken, China is in the bag, even if Britain, the United States and France intervene, it will be beyond the reach of the whip, after all, Lao Maozi is now blocked by the advance army outside Heilongjiang, and it will not affect their layout, as long as the prison is occupied and the materials are coordinated, then, even the Pacific strategy of Lao Mei will be a joke, not to mention Lao Maozi, a polar bear.

Moreover, the base camp of the Japanese army has clearly understood the speed of Lao Xi's military expansion by purchasing Lao Xi's iron fist and flamingos, and has caught up with the level of the world in armaments, and it is a matter of time when a major war breaks out in Europe. It is precisely because of this that the energy of Britain and the United States will not run to Asia, and they must beware of Germany, including Lao Maozi.

Therefore, the four aircraft carriers set out from Qingdao and headed straight for Shanghai, and the battleships and cruisers also rushed to Shanghai to help, and on July 17, the fleet arrived in the waters near Shanghai and was ready for attack.

At the same time, the brewing battle in Taierzhuang finally broke out, but the Japanese army did not expect the resistance of the national army to be so strong, and fought fiercely for three days, and finally, in the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army. Tens of thousands of people were lost, and the strength of nearly a division ended in a crushing defeat.

The fiasco of Taierzhuang made the Japanese army unable to take care of the fact that the local troop carriers had not yet arrived in Shanghai, and launched a fierce attack on the Shanghai garrison based on the military defense line of Hongkou District, and the next day. Aircraft on the aircraft carrier took off and bombed strategic targets in Shanghai.

At this point, the Songhu War of Resistance broke out.

Before the outbreak of the war, the two platoons of the Guards Company that rushed to Shanghai had successfully entered Shanghai and entered the concession, where they joined the 500 Huya members who arrived first, and stayed in a secret warehouse that Shao Pang had prepared in advance, waiting for orders from the headquarters.

Shui Linglong also arrived in Nanjing on July 15 and began to transfer those academic circles in Nanjing. talents in the field of science and technology.

They had already received the news of Dong Ku's safety, and they started their respective tasks with peace of mind.

According to the news from Shanghai, Liu Xiaocheng realized that the Japanese army was really going to launch an attack on Shanghai, and at the same time, he immediately understood why Dong Ku emphasized that he wanted to save the people of Nanjing. There, it was the second target of the Japanese army after the occupation of Shanghai.

Thereupon. During the battle in Taierzhuang, he asked the people in the dark hall to start gathering the carriages and horses, and prepared food supply points according to the established evacuation route, and did a good job of logistics for the evacuation of Shui Linglong, and at the same time, he used the name of Dong Ku to send electricity to Sun Tao. Let him be ready to march to Shanghai.

After Sun Tao answered the call, he hesitated, because this was not Dong Ku's battle order, although he knew the importance of Liu Defeat City in the advance army, it did not mean that he could obey Liu Defeat City's dispatch. Liu Defeating City is not a military governor.

Press Sun Tao's hesitation, at this time, everyone was busy, the war officially broke out on July 18, the Japanese army dispatched planes, bombed the Shanghai garrison indiscriminately, and launched a fierce attack. Zhang Zhizhong was ordered to become the commander-in-chief, and officially had a major battle with the Japanese army.

But at the moment when the war broke out, Dong Ku fell asleep peacefully and did not wake up.

As Konoe marched through the mountains in the direction of Anyang, he saw a small Taoist temple in the mountain forest. The guards were very anxious to find Langzhong because Dong Ku had been asleep, and saw that there was a Taoist temple, although the Oroqen warriors did not understand, but they also hoped that they could find out the news of Langzhong as soon as possible, so that they could send Dong Ku to seek medical treatment.

The Taoist temple is not big, a big hall, four side rooms, the main gate is open on the wall of the wing room in the south, from a distance, it looks more like a quadrangle.

When the guards knocked on the door, a Taoist in his thirties opened the door, and saw that it was several military masters, and his face was covered with oil paint, he did not panic, and stood up with his fingers very calmly and said: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, how many military masters don't know what to do?" ”

The guards have never seen a Taoist priest in Heilongjiang, as an Oroqen tribe, they don't know what a Taoist priest is, and when they saw it, No. 5 hugged his fist and said: "Sir, my eldest brother is unconscious, I want to ask if there is a Langzhong nearby?" ”

"Mr. ......"

The Taoist priest was stunned and turned his gaze to Dong Ku on the stretcher.

After glancing at it, the Taoist priest didn't have any expression, turned his head and said: "Your eldest brother is fine, it's just that he is asleep, and he doesn't need to look at Langzhong, but it's not suitable for bumps, you have to be quiet, or you will be in trouble if you don't wake up." ”

"Sir, know how to heal?"

Number Five asked in surprise.

The Taoist priest laughed when the fifth called out the second sir. He saw that these military masters with grimaces and firearms on their backs were not people from the world, at least not from a big place, or they wouldn't call a Taoist priest Mr.

He smiled faintly, and said with his fingers curled: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao only knows a little bit about the art of Qihuang, these are all passed down from the master, however, your eldest brother doesn't seem to need treatment, he is just tired and sleepy, and he doesn't see any discomfort." ”

No. 5 heard the Taoist priest affirm that Dong Ku was fine, and while relieved, he remembered what the Taoist priest said just now that the captain needs to be quiet and not suitable for bumps. Then he asked: "Sir, can we stay here for a few nights, and we will leave when the eldest brother wakes up, this is the house money, and I hope to be accommodating." As he spoke, he took out twenty pieces of ocean and handed it to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest hesitated, did not take the silver dollar, but said: "A few military masters, wait, I will go and ask the master." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the head of the fifth jaw, then retreated into the Taoist temple and closed the door.

No. 5 glanced at Dong Ku, who was still not awake, and ordered in a low voice: "I will enter the room in a while, see how the radio station is waterproofed, and if you can, send a telegram to say that it is safe, so as not to worry everyone." ”

Six nodded, but didn't speak, and the group just stood there, waiting for the time to return.

After two or three minutes, the Taoist priest went and returned, opened the door and said, "Several military masters, the master invites you to enter, please come inside." ”

"Thank you, sir."

No. 5 said politely, and with a wave of his hand, the other four people carried Dong Ku and followed the Taoist priest into the Taoist temple.

After entering the Taoist temple, the eye is paved with bluestone, and there is not a single weed in the whole courtyard, and it is a large hall that is enshrined in Sanqing. Of course, the number five is not known who is enshrined.

When Five's gaze fell on the figure sitting in the main hall, he suddenly had the illusion that there seemed to be no one there, and there seemed to be people, vague, but very real strange feeling.

The Taoist priest walked to the door of the main hall, bowed down and said, "Master, the military master has come in." ”

The man sitting upright opened his eyes, and the appearance of an ordinary person made his eyes look even kinder.

He shook off the dust, stood up gently, walked to the outside of the hall, looked at Dong Ku on the stretcher for twenty seconds, and said this time: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, poor Dao Tianjizi, your eldest brother is too depleted and needs to recuperate, if you can, go to the west wing to live." ”

"Thank you, sir."

No. 5 said politely according to the Chinese title he had learned.

When No. 5's voice came out, a trace of strangeness flashed in Tianjizi's kind eyes, and he said with a face as usual: "Master Jun, you're welcome, after carrying your eldest brother into the room, you have to remove your clothes and pants, and wash off your face, just lie down quietly, don't feed anything, you have fed him liquid food before, this is very dangerous, he doesn't need any food now, including water." ”

"Don't feed ......"

The guards looked at each other, although they were shocked that this Taoist priest had fed Dong Ku food before, but they knew that if they didn't eat for a long time, they would die.

That day, the machine didn't seem to see the doubts of a few people, and said softly: "You military masters can go to the front stove room to boil some porridge after settling down for a while, you haven't eaten for six days, although you ate a few hours ago, fortunately, it is not much, or it will not hurt the spleen and stomach, the porridge should be viscous, eat less, eat the second meal after half an hour, rest for two hours, the gastrointestinal function is as usual, you don't see the sun for six days, you live in a damp and cold place, and the damp and cold qi that enters the body must eat some meat and ginger two hours after eating porridge, so as to ensure that you will not sit down and get sick." ”

After Tianjizi's words were finished, No. 5 and the others were secretly shocked, what this Taoist priest said was the same as what they had seen with their own eyes, and for the treatment of Dong Ku just now, several people instantly decided to do what the Taoist priest said.

A few people quickly settled Dong Ku, and they washed their faces, changed their clothes, and changed into camouflage uniforms, leaving No. 6 and No. 7, and the other three went to the stove room on the left side of the south to make porridge.

On the 6th and 7th, after the departure of several people, the radio station was taken out of the sealed bag, and after debugging, according to what the fifth said, there was no order, no details, only that it was done according to the original plan, and it was regarded as a report of safety.

Shui Linglong and Liu Luocheng did not mention anything other than the report, especially Liu Luocheng, he seemed to feel that it was still not right, in addition to the report, he emphatically said, there are also Huya team members searching at the besieged site, because, just five minutes ago, Shui Linglong turned a message from the Huya search force, confirming that the Japanese army had left, and they went into the mountains to search for the message, but Dong Ku only mentioned it.

Seeing that there were still Huya members nearby, No. 5 ordered a telegram to be prepared, and the concubine Liu Zhong sent it, asking him to dispatch Huya to the designated place and be under his command.

Liu Zhong didn't know what was going on, he was in the heat of peace with the Japanese army in Shandong, and when he received the telegram, he didn't hesitate or ask more, and directly ordered the person in charge of where to go to contact No. 5 and obey his command.

After receiving the order, the searching Huya quickly formed a team and went straight to the small Taoist temple.

Two hours later, several people drank the boiled honey and ginger soup, and in the buzzing in their stomachs, the fart sound continued, and the stiff feeling that the body had before disappeared immediately, and the body was much more relaxed. Simple food, but the effect is wonderful, which makes several people believe in the Taoist priest's treatment of the captain's body at this time, and they are not so suspicious.
