On October 26, the Chinese army was forced to abandon Dachang, Miaoxing, and Jiangwan. The defenders of Zhabei also voluntarily abandoned their positions. The main force retreated to the Nanxiang line. One retreated to the south of Suzhou Creek, and the other stayed at the key points north of Suzhou Creek.

The fall of Dachang shattered the entire front of the Chinese army. The researchers of the previous life all agreed with Chen Cheng and their opinions, and they should retreat in time; It was the hesitation of the Chinese army that gave the Japanese an opportunity to expand their gains.

If you have something in your heart, and the days are tormented in time, you can retreat after completing a report by yourself. On the morning of November 2, the spy who had been following him called Shen Zui and handed him a note written by himself, saying: "My American friend in Japan gave me news that the Japanese had mobilized more than three divisions, including the 6th Division, and the other numbers were not clear, and about 100,000 troops were formed to form the 10th Army, led by Yanagawa Heisuke, to prepare for the landing in Hangzhou Bay. The fleet of the Japanese mainland has already departed, and I am ready to begin the retreat to Kohoku. I hope Mr. Shen will report the news as soon as possible. ”

Shen Zui read the content of the note carefully, and objected: "How is it rumor?" ”

"Smell of it? Haha, Mr. Shen thinks that an American businessman's reminder for his Chinese businessman friend is not a rumor? With your organization's capabilities, is it difficult to verify in Japan? If Mr. Shen is afraid of being responsible, he can just report it with a note, which is also the meaning of the note I left. People ask who is the 'wind news'? Just answer that General Zhang Zhizhong of your party knows about it. Mr. Shen's time is precious, don't cause panic in keeping it secret, if any situation occurs, you will die a hundred deaths! You're out of luck knowing me! I retreated at noon, set up an ambulance station after arriving at Ma'anshan, and arranged two people to accompany us to Ma'anshan, you don't have to send me! ”

Shen Zui carefully put away the note, and left with a solemn salute.

All personnel at the ambulance station are required to be ready to evacuate in the morning, whether it is Shaanxi or Shanghai medical personnel must follow, the seriously injured at the ambulance station are loaded by transport vehicles, and Mr. Du's personnel are self-selected.

After lunch, we will set off immediately.

Excluding those that had been requisitioned and those that had been given to the ambulance board, there were nearly 80 cars left. In addition to the medical staff and the wounded, including themselves are all on foot. Waving the flag of the Shaanxi Medical Rescue Volunteer Team, the soldiers who saw it gave way and saluted and saw them off.

Walking 60 miles a day, walking for a day, I feel too slow, it is estimated that it will take at least 10 days to get to Ma'anshan. The next morning, except for the five on-board machine gun jeeps, other cars were arranged to quickly go to Ma'anshan under the protection of the guards, hand over the wounded to Company Commander Ni Pengfei and then return to pick up all the personnel. The journey of more than 500 miles can be made back and forth once a day. Sure enough, the car came back in the afternoon, squeezed all the cars, and when I arrived at Ma'anshan, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

When I arrived in Ma'anshan, I met Xie Zongen, the manager of Minsheng Steamship, who was waiting, and exchanged pleasantries. I briefly talked about the situation in Shanghai, and Manager Xie also talked about the recent transportation of personnel and materials in Shanghai by Minsheng Company, and both of them were embarrassed. I also promised to send all the river ships to Minsheng Company before December 15, and I don't have to wait until the end of the year! In the past, the casualties of Minsheng Company's employees were borne by themselves, and they did not need to pay for Minsheng! Manager Xie thought about it for a moment and did not refuse.

The next day, all 80 transport vehicles were put into the transfer of the wounded, a driver plus an escort, the driver arranged two sets of people, not enough in Ma'anshan directly recruited, the preferential conditions are to give priority to the transfer of family members to Chongqing or Shaanxi, by the Minsheng Company to Wuhan to choose by themselves, all the way along Jiangxi, all the way to the north by train. Tiedan's child soldiers, the wounded and most of the medical staff all took a train from Wuhan to return to Shaanxi via Zheng County, while Li Da arranged a team of five people to protect them. According to the minimum allocation of medical staff, Li Daze was arranged to take stock of the materials, make a good distribution, and count the rescue data of the medical rescue team; Arrange for 5 medical vehicles to set up mobile medical stations in He County. Under the leadership of Ni Pengfei, 5 medical vehicles and medical staff went to Puzhen to set up a mobile medical station.

The large-scale transfer alarmed the Ma'anshan government and the garrison, but no one gave them an answer, and they did not dare to do anything to stop it, but they also began to let their families join the ranks of the retreat.

The transfer of 80 cars lasted only until November 8, and then they began to return from Wuxi, and began to turn back from Changzhou on the 20th, and were attacked by enemy planes on the 25th, losing 5 cars, sacrificing 3 drivers, sacrificing 11 wounded, and hijacking more than 30 cars by stragglers. Returning to Ma'anshan, he personally presided over the cremation ceremony of the sacrificed driver.

Arrange all the vehicles to Jiangbei, and at this point, all the personnel who obeyed their dispatch retreated to Jiangbei. The personnel were cleaned up again, and all the cars were handed over to the escort to drive, and all the drivers retreated to Shaanxi or Chongqing.

Deputy Company Commander Gao Hongyuan was arranged to lead 30 people to control the steamer and the American manager, fly the American flag, and be sure to sail to the north side of Jeju Island upstream of Nanjing on December 5 to wait for orders, and not to dock on the north shore.

Looking back at Jiangnan, there is a lot of fog.

I have been in Jiangnan for a few months, if it is said to have some effect, I am afraid that it will be a few decades later, and I can compare it, and it is impossible to know now. I have already warned the Japanese about the landing in Hangzhou Bay, and seeing that the retreating soldiers are still in the form of a rout, Shen Zui will not intercept the information, and it is really hard to say how much attention a businessman's intelligence can arouse!.

Donate a few by yourself, and the amount is also ranked among the top in the country, and the strange thing is that even the Sichuan army knows to write a letter of praise, is it true that the generals of the Central Army are so unkind? Maybe it's not that simpler! Anything could be!

Maybe someone has taken a fancy to something in Shaanxi; Now praise, at that time, it was difficult to start when it was time to deprive others.

Maybe the spies didn't deliver the things and kept them for themselves; Don't you dare to keep all of this, right? TBD, there are many bold people.

Maybe it was sold by the scum of the army? That's going to kill people.

In short, you have to be careful.

I will take other personnel to Puzhen with the staff of the county medical station, and it was already December 3 when I arrived. The medical team was still welcomed by the local garrison, and no one did anything to make things difficult. The garrison was Hu Zongnan's First Army unit, which should now be called the 17th Army Corps.

I began to draft a press release, intending to make a summary of the Songhu ambulance. Seeing the submitted rescue data, I also had a correct understanding of the merits of the medical rescue team for the first time; The material situation is better known to me. The manuscript was completed quickly, and the telegram was sent directly. It is expected to be able to read the newspaper in Shaanxi tomorrow.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Zongnan entrenched in Xi'an for a long time and was worthy of the name of the king of the northwest. Donate some more as a favor, there are nearly 100 of your 150 cars left, and you also need to reduce the burden, and the road behind needs to be quickly retreated back to Shaanxi.

What I need to leave behind are five medical vehicles and some medicines, and life-saving gasoline, ammunition and compressed biscuits are necessary. There are 15 reconnaissance personnel, 3 confidential personnel, 130 escort personnel, and 30 medical personnel. Leaving 10 machine gun jeeps, 2 20-mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns, 40 people, 15 medical vehicles, 6 material transport vehicles, 1 cooking vehicle, 21 people, 1 confidential vehicle, and 8 trucks each according to 10 people. 10 units were reserved for the personnel of Minsheng Company, with a total of 43 vehicles.

According to the statistics, 2 mortar trucks, 2 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 20-mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns, 1,000 mines, 8 weapons transport vehicles, 2 gasoline vehicles, 31 transport vehicles, 5 medical vehicles and supporting medicines can be donated. Write out the list and ask the agent to ask the garrison if they are willing to accept it, and if so, send someone to get in touch.

People come quickly, and things are done quite abrasively. The spy came with a lieutenant colonel, and he just introduced that his surname was Mu and he was a staff officer of the corps headquarters. He took out the prepared list and handed it to him, and said, "Mr. Mou, you sign and we can hand it over." ”

This Mu staff officer said in a snort: "Mr. Li, this ......, if this mine is a mine, it would be good if it was a mine, there is no use here!" ”
