The rain was pouring down, and it rained for several days, and the mud on the ground of the crow's nest could sink into it as soon as you went out.

There are no more people living in the crow's nest, and the dew hangs in the damp house, and you have to light a bonfire to drive away the tide in the daytime.

That's it, God won't let you feel happy.

It finally stopped for a few days, and the bad news came again.

In Lao Chu's house, Xu Ruifeng and others sat by the fire in a circle under the rain, Lao Chu held a piece of paper and continued to read the latest news, but this time, everyone was shocked.

"On 9 August, after the Japanese broke into Hongqiao Airport and were shot dead by the airport security guards for an inexplicable provocation, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai demanded that the Shanghai security forces withdraw and remove all fortifications, but they were sternly refused."

Lao Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Is this the same way as Lugou Bridge?" ”

"On the 10th, the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy assembled more than 30 warships of various sizes in the Wusong area, sailed into the Huangpu River to demonstrate, and urgently dispatched marines to Shanghai!"

"On the 11th, the 87th and 88th Divisions of the Nationalist Government went to Yangshupu and Hongkou in Shanghai to garrison."

"On the 13th, the Japanese army fired provocatively in the direction of Hongkou, and attacked Baoshan Road and Bazi Bridge, but was repelled by the 88th Division!"

Sibaozi stood up immediately, his head hit the beam of the low shack with a 'bump', and shouted out in pain: "Happy, I should have done this to him a long time ago!" ”

Ma Zhansan frowned.

Xu Ruifeng saw some clues and asked, "Old Ma, what do you mean?" ”

"This Japanese is known as invincible in the navy, I heard that there is a cannon with a caliber of nearly half a meter on the ship, and its strength on the water is recognized by the whole world, so I can't understand why I have to fight in Shanghai?"

Sibaozi said: "What do you mean, the Japanese called, we watched and didn't fight back?" ”

Ma Zhansan shook his head: "The current situation is different, the whole of North China is in the smoke, the whole country is in a full-scale war of resistance, there are troops not to spread in North China, they have to be placed in a place within reach of other people's naval guns, isn't this waiting to be beaten?" Let me ask you, you are from the rivers and lakes, will you use your chest as a knife? ”

Sibaozi shrank his neck: "I'm not a tiger either." ”

"It's still true!"

No one spoke, as if they were all lost in thought.

Lao Chu continued: "China and Japan launched a fierce battle with Suzhou Creek as the boundary, and the battle was tragic and unbeatable, according to the feedback of our party's front-line personnel, at that time, the intensity of the two sides had reached its peak, and a shell fell and the corpses were scattered all over the field......

"It is reported that a division that came to support from an ordinary place could only hold out for four hours when it arrived at the front line; A division of elite troops can only hold out for eight hours, a day or two at most; Even the civil engineering tie can only last for a week......"

At this time, Xu Ruifeng turned his head and asked: "Ma Lao, what is the Department of Civil Engineering?" ”

"It should be the two most elite troops, it is said that these two troops are all-German armament equipment, the famous German armament corps."

Lao Chu sighed: "In the end, even the tax police corps went to the front line......

Tax Police Corps?

This time it was useless Xu Ruifeng asked, Ma Zhansan said: "The tax police corps, it should be said that it is the elite under the command of Uncle Guo, and it is said that it is a regiment, but in fact, the establishment is no different from the division, and its combat effectiveness is not easy to say, but the equipment is definitely a first-line level." ”

When these words fell, Xu Ruifeng and the others knew what had happened these days, the government of Shanghai and Nanjing had laid out the elite of the whole country in the Shili Ocean Field, and they showed their attitude under the Japanese naval artillery, that is, they were definitely not like the Japanese to give in.

But the problem is that the price paid for this attitude is too great, to the extent that it is beyond imagination!

At this time, Lao Chu also gave an explanation: "Shanghai is the gateway to the country in the eyes of the Nanjing government, and behind Shanghai is Nanjing, if you can't hold Shanghai, the capital of the Nanjing government will be exposed to the bayonets of the Japanese army. ”

These people in the crow's nest, there are no people in high positions, so naturally they can't get in touch with the resolutions of important state organs, and they can only rely on their own speculation to worry about the country.

"Lao Chu, what happened to the result?"

"Did you win?"

During the inquiry, Lao Chu shook his head: "The war is not over yet, and I don't particularly know the specific results." ”

In July and August, under this kind of bad news one after another, it flew by, suffocating people, and when they saw a tree, they wanted to rush up and hold it and nibble two mouthfuls to relieve their anger.

However, Lao Chu gave a death order, before receiving the organizational order, all the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation were not allowed to leave the old crow's nest, everything must be subject to the order, and those who violated the order were to be engaged in military law.

Wait, wait, wait......

Xu Ruifeng obeyed the order like a good baby for the first time, and honestly looked forward to it in the crow's nest.

He knew that Lao Chu was staring at him openly and secretly, after all, he represented the entire 'death row prisoners' team, and now these death row prisoners have become the leaders of the combat effectiveness of the old crow's nest.

When night fell, a familiar figure rushed into the crow's nest from the mountains, and when this person entered the manhole where Xu Ruifeng was, he got into the nest with a smile on his face.

He is Wang Ming.

Sibaozi kicked Wang Ming on the kang, turned over and looked at him and asked, "Go to the sewer again?" ”

Wang Ming smiled and lay on the edge of the kang and said: "Fourth brother, you are all old, you can bear it, I am young, I don't want to touch it when I am old." ”

Sibaozi stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Ming on the back of the head: "Your uncle, if you let the Japanese target you, it will be called causing trouble to the big guy, do you know it!" ”

"Can't!"

"I came back after wiping my buttocks, otherwise I would have been able to go out for two whole days and one night."

Wang Ming left secretly, as soon as he went out, it was two days and one night, and every morning when he got up for roll call, someone answered for him, and Lao Chu, who was busy with official business, did not find out. In fact, since Wang Ming had this thought, Xu Ruifeng knew that it was like having insects crawling on his body, and he couldn't fall asleep after turning over and over on the kang. By the time he started to pick up the leggings and leg forks, Lao Xu already understood what this kid was going to do.

It's just that Lao Xu didn't break it.

He felt that there was nothing to do in the crow's nest anyway, and Wang Ming was not the kind of person who would invite disasters and cause trouble, so he would go and go, at such a depressing moment, could you still suffocate the people under your hands?

It's just that Lao Xu didn't expect that Wang Ming's release would cause a lot of trouble to the old crow's nest!

"Tell me what happened to Harbin now." Sibaozi asked curiously.

Mentioning this, Wang Ming pouted his teeth: "Tsk......"

"The Japanese son of Harbin, the tail is cocked to the sky, the Japanese on the street have a big mouth and a chin up, fourth brother, you don't know, I can't wait to pull out the leg fork and grab them ......"

Sibaozi glared at the beads and asked, "Then why didn't you start?" ”

"My brother, can I still come back?"

"You don't know, since we made a big fuss in Harbin, what has become of this city, it can be said that it is strictly guarded, today's Harbin, within five minutes, you can see the patrolling Japanese army and puppet army from the street, and the communication lines and railway lines outside the city have special troops patrolling, and if you are not careful, it is difficult to fly!"

Sibaozi gritted his teeth and asked again: "Is it easy to go?" ”

"I've been listening to the news from Lao Chu for the past few days, and I can't hold back what I heard, and I have to go out and kill two Japanese people to get angry."

"Isn't that easy?"

"I went out to see it this time, the Japanese who patrol the railway line are still in small teams, a dozen or so people at a time, and ten miles of land as the inspection standard, as long as we find a good location, it's hard to say more, it's like doing him a dozen or so at a time."
