At night, Yuan Pengfei, who had been wandering outside for a day, went to Yu Zecheng's house for dinner, and chatted with him about today's news by the way.

"Lao Yu, you said that the British are too cowardly, the sun never sets on the empire, and when they are frightened by the Japanese, they are all dogs for others." Yuan Pengfei complained dissatisfied.

He still has high respect for the soldiers who guard the Sixing warehouse. Not all troops can stick to it without hesitation even though they know that they will be defeated and die, and it is not an exaggeration to call them heroes.

Yu Zecheng said: "A weak country has no diplomacy, and a weak country has no allies. The Germans' mediation failed, and the British could not withstand the pressure, which was normal.

However, your sense of smell is still very sensitive, and the superiors have assigned a new task, ordering us to do everything possible to rescue the hero Commander Xie, and the party-state needs to set an example and not let the hero shed blood and tears. ”

"This is as it should be, if you don't do it, it will chill the soldiers." Yuan Pengfei nodded in agreement.

But then he had another question: "Lao Yu, I heard that these 400 soldiers suffered some casualties, but there are also more than 300 people.

The merchant group of nations guarding them is not blind, and it is not an easy task to rescue so many people. ”

Yu Zecheng shook his head slightly, "You are wrong, the order given to us by the superiors is to rescue Regiment Commander Xie, if it is convenient, we can rescue a few more people, more than three hundred people are impossible." ”

"What about the rest of the soldiers? Do you just give up? Yuan Pengfei slapped the table and asked.

This kind of abandonment was something he couldn't think of, and it was something he didn't want to hear.

Yu Zecheng looked at his angry appearance, and he didn't stand up to quarrel with him. In fact, Yu Zecheng also understood his feelings, and after getting this order today, he Yu Zecheng was also full of indignation.

He questioned his superiors why they had abandoned the other soldiers, each of whom was a hero who had shed blood for the country and should not be treated differently.

However, his superiors also gave him three reasons:

First, the situation does not allow it. There is a world of difference between the difficulty of rescuing one or two people and rescuing hundreds of people. It's impossible to succeed.

Second, Regiment Commander Xie was a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, and he slapped the Japanese in the face, so the Japanese wanted to retaliate, and the first target was him, and his situation was the most urgent.

Third, in fact, it is not a good thing for other ordinary soldiers to stay in that lonely military camp. Although they do not have personal freedom, their lives can still be guaranteed.

However, once they are rescued, they will inevitably re-enter the battle sequence, and death on the battlefield is the most likely.

After listening to Yu Zecheng's story, Yuan Pengfei just wanted to give the so-called superior two words: "Bullshit!" ”

The first two say a bit of truth, but the third one is purely to justify one's own incompetence.

That's right, these soldiers were rescued, and nine times out of ten they would go to the battlefield and sacrifice on the battlefield of resistance against Japan to make a contribution to the resistance against Japan.

But at least there is a choice.

If they are not rescued, what will happen to them?

It is estimated that the international merchant groups in the concession will not do anything to them, but when the Japanese turn against Britain and the United States, the lease will also be included in Japanese rule.

Probably intimidated by the people's feelings, the Japanese army would not be too arrogant to slaughter them. But it is not uncommon to cut the flesh with a soft knife, scatter them to work as coolies, and finally throw them into mass graves.

Do not overestimate the conscience of the Japanese, whose conscience has long been eaten by dogs.

Yu Zecheng didn't expect it, but this situation is something that everyone doesn't want to think about.

Being an ostrich is what most people do.

He asked: "Pengfei, judging from the current situation, it is already difficult to rescue a person, how to rescue more than 300 people, let me listen to your high opinion?" ”

The International Chamber of Commerce has an establishment of 1,500 people, cavalry, field artillery, light artillery, engineering team, ironclad team, infantry team, etc., is a regular army, managed by the Ministry of Industry of the Demon City.

Of course, the more than 300 unarmed lone soldiers did not need such a large battle to guard at all.

According to the investigation by the superiors, the International Merchant Regiment sent an infantry team of about 100 people to be stationed nearby to prevent the riot. There was also a cavalry team of thirty men who patrolled and monitored the situation.

The lone camp was completely surrounded by electrified barbed wire, and it was not an easy task to rescue it.

Moreover, Yu Zecheng did not have many people at his disposal at this time, at most a few agents under Pi Zhiqiang, and the others had to wait for the plan to be made and contact the superiors to send additional manpower.

Therefore, it is really not an easy task to do a good job of rescuing this matter.

All the way back home, Yuan Pengfei was very depressed.

The world is not as simple as it thinks, even if the merchant group of all nations is a straw bag and rescues all the soldiers.

However, when they left the concession, it was all Japanese territory, and it was impossible to hide what a big goal more than 300 soldiers was.

If you go by water, it will be even more fulfilling to the wishes of the Japanese. It doesn't take much effort to smash the shells down.

When the strength is not strong enough, rescuing more than 300 soldiers is a fantasy.

The next morning, listening to the creaking sound of the door next door, Yuan Pengfei reluctantly sat up.

I have to admit that he is not a genius at all, and he does not have so many whimsical ideas in his head.

With the strength they had at hand now, they couldn't think of a way to rescue these more than 300 soldiers.

He also had to use the third reason to cover up his incompetence.

……

Compared with Yuan Pengfei, Yu Zecheng is a pragmatic person. Today's rest, his first stop is the lonely military camp on Jiaodong Road.

The lone camp is a bungalow with a playground on loess floors. Looking through the barbed wire grid, the soldiers were exercising.

Although the bare hands were not free, the soldiers were still in high spirits, and there was a murderous smell all over their bodies.

When fighting the battle to defend the Sixing Warehouse, Yu Zecheng also looked at it from a distance across the Suzhou Creek.

The gunfire of the beans never stopped, I don't know how many shells fell on the building, and the soldiers didn't know how much pressure they had to bear inside.

According to later reports, on the first day of the battle alone, the Japanese army lost more than 200 people and returned with a great defeat. And our army did not die a single battle, only a few were slightly wounded, and it can be described as a complete victory.

On the second day, the embarrassed and angry Japanese army had to remove the thorn in the side of the Sixing warehouse, and the fierceness of the battle could not be described in words.

At that time, after the Japanese army broke through the outer position of the Sixing warehouse, a detachment of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers sneaked to the bottom of the warehouse and tried to use bags of high explosives to blow up the wall on the ground floor in order to open a breakthrough.

This is just a shooting dead end, and if the Japanese army blows up a big hole, the Sixing warehouse will be finished.

At this critical juncture, suddenly a daredevils named Chen Shusheng, with grenades strapped to his body, pulled the fuse, and jumped from the sixth floor into this small group of Japanese soldiers.

After a loud bang, the daredevils Chen Shusheng and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers died together, which stunned all the Japanese soldiers behind.

The last battle of the Battle of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Song was a battle in which the heroic and heroic miracles of the Chinese soldiers were played.

It is no exaggeration to call these people heroes.

Yu Zecheng cleaned up his mood and carefully observed the environment around the lonely military camp.

This side was originally very remote, three hundred meters away from the outskirts of the lonely military camp, and it was a flat and open wilderness, with an unobstructed view. Three hundred meters away, there are some low bungalows and alleys that provide shelter from the view.

Suppose someone escapes from the lonely army camp against all odds, and must walk the distance of 300 meters as fast as possible, and not be seen by the people of the International Business Group.

Such a precondition unless the group of people in the International Chamber of Commerce are blind.

Yu Zecheng sighed: When the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession first chose a place, it really chose a good place.

After observing the situation of the lonely military camp, Yu Zecheng moved to the station of the International Merchant Group not far away.

This station was specially built to monitor the lonely military camp, and the bungalows of Yishui surrounded a large compound, and the entrance of the compound was facing the direction of the lonely military camp.

The people inside are divided into three types, two ghost guys at the captain level. A dozen or so ghost loyal dog-legged Annanes. The rest were Chinese soldiers recruited on the spot.

The two ghosts are not so dedicated, Yu Zecheng didn't see a figure for a long time, and he didn't know where to fool around.

Those dozen or so Annam people did not live up to their name as the most loyal dogleg of the British Empire. On the playground, one by one energetic training, the regiments commanded by those Chinese soldiers were transferred, and the orders of the ghosts were completely faithfully fulfilled.

Regarding the affairs in the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, Yu Zecheng knows a little about it. The ghost guy is the first class, the Annan dog leg is the second class, and the Chinese can only be the third class.

Moreover, the Chinese employees recruited have very strict requirements. Not to mention the requirements of various capabilities, the important thing is that there must be a guarantee.

Asset security and local residents' security, one of the two. In this case, the price paid for anyone who wants to betray is too high, and the price for the military commander to buy one is even higher.

With that amount of money, you can buy a ghost guy who wants money and doesn't want to die.

However, what they did seriously damaged the interests of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession, and the ghosts did not necessarily dare to do it. It is also quite possible to sell them backhandedly.

Just when Yu Zecheng was thoughtless, a truck drove over from a distance and drove directly to the barracks of the station.

The driver got out of the car and said to the Annan man who was directing the drill class: "Sir, the supplies have been delivered." ”

Speaking Chinese, who was not fluent, Annan pointed to a column of soldiers: "You go to unload, move quickly." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier answered, and trotted away from the line and ran to the truck to unload.

This vehicle is a special supply vehicle, and supplies are delivered to them every five days. Vegetables, fruits, meat, rice, flour, oil, salt, and all kinds of daily necessities are given to ensure the logistics supply of the garrison.

"Yo, this time the cigarette is Hademen, brothers are blessed." The squad leader who took the lead looked at the box of cigarettes and said excitedly.

Unlike other Chinese armies, the International Merchant Group was an army built on the model of the British and French powers.

There is no mention of weapons and equipment, and the logistics supply is also very good. Military salaries and salaries are paid in full, and there is no need to worry about having enough food and drink. The important thing is that there is also the supply of cigarettes, and the small life is very beautiful.

"Don't talk nonsense, move quickly." An Annam officer had already stood behind them at some point and reprimanded. After looking at the supplies, he said to the driver, "Why is there no steak and red wine, don't you know that our captain strongly asks to leave a few copies for him!" ”

The driver smiled bitterly, "Sir, I was also instructed by my superiors to go to the general station first to deliver supplies, and then come to you to deliver them." The steak and red wine were all taken down by the people at the headquarters, and I didn't dare to command them! ”

The officer was a little unhappy when he heard it, but the officer was crushed to death, and he didn't dare to say anything about the instructions of the headquarters. At most, wait for his commander to report truthfully when he returns.

Walking to the back of the car, he looked at the remaining supplies on the car, and said unhappily: "Unload the rest of the meat for me, a group of defeated generals don't deserve to eat meat." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Chinese soldiers who were unloading the goods immediately glared at him.

The soldiers in the lonely army camp are all kinds of men, and their courage and fighting spirit are worthy of recognition.

Even the ghosts had to admit that this was a heroic team.

How did you get into the mouth of this dog thing and become the general of the defeated army?

Officer Annan glanced at them disdainfully, "What, you want to rebel!" Be honest with me. ”

At this time, another Chinese officer came over, "What are you yelling about, you have the ability to say that sentence to Chief Bob, see if he will reprimand you?"

You remember, Chief Bob once said: they are a valiant team, a warrior worthy of respect. If you dare to say such a thing again, be careful that Chief Bob picks you up. ”

Officer Annan glared at him fiercely, and didn't dare to continue pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, so he picked up his tail and walked away.

The Chinese officers did not scare him, after witnessing a heroic defensive battle, several British officers expressed their sincere respect and friendship for this team.

At the time of the evacuation that day, Major General Smolley, the commander-in-chief of the British army in the magic capital, personally came to the new garbage bridge in Suzhou Creek and commanded the British army to suppress the Japanese firepower and cover the retreat of the warriors.

Otherwise, how could the supply of the soldiers of the lone army battalion be at the same level as them.

The Chinese officer dismissed the guy, turned to the soldiers, and said, "Okay, hurry up and unload the goods and let the truck go early, the soldiers on the other side of the lonely barracks are still waiting!" ”

The soldiers nodded and quickened their movements.

The reality is not ideal, people sometimes have to compromise, they eat other people's bowls of rice, they have to abide by the rules.

Beating up the boss is really a smashing job. People still have to live, and they can't be so reckless.

The truck stopped for a moment, then drove out again, and it didn't take long for a short distance to pass through the guards at the gate of the lonely barracks, and then entered the lonely barracks.

And all of this was seen by Yu Zecheng, who was observing, and he slowly had an immature idea in his heart.
