Smoothly returned to Zhabei.

Naturally, the troops have other people arranged. All logistical supplies are well organized.

It is possible to eat.

Ammunition can be replenished.

The wounded were quickly transported to the hospital.

It is possible to rest.

It is possible to take a hot bath.

Zhabei has been turned into a large military camp.

There is no problem at all with stationing a few thousand people.

Who told Zhang Chu to spend so much ocean, all kinds of materials are readily available.

The only thing that's bad is people!

Soldiers, to be exact!

When Zhang Chu saw Duan Haiping, he immediately stopped him.

asked directly: "Old Duan, did you find the person you asked you to help find before?" ”

"Who?" Duan Haiping really forgot.

He's in too much of a tube now.

Zhang Chu pressed everything on him.

He had to use the organization behind him to arrange a lot of personnel, and finally he was barely busy.

"Naval talent."

"Oh......"

Duan Haiping remembered at this time.

Then he shook his head.

Man is found. But gone again.

Zhang Chu has been absent all along. No one else can wait for him here for a long time.

"You made him wait!"

"Others also have to beg for ...... of life"

"Give him money!"

"Me?"

"You contact him again and give him fifty oceans."

"Okay......"

Duan Haiping agreed.

But for a short time no one was found.

At that time, I didn't have a mobile phone or anything, so I had to make an appointment for the next meeting. Or wait patiently for the other party to come to the door again.

However, when the other party left, he did not make an appointment with Duan Haiping at a time and place.

Zhang Chu asked, "What's his name?" ”

"Wang Hesheng."

"Who?"

"Wang Hesheng?"

"Is it the lame one?"

"Yes!"

Duan Haiping suddenly felt wrong.

Hey? Does Zhang Chu know? Otherwise, how do you know if the other party is lame?

"You know?"

"It's okay. He had already gone to sea to fight. ”

"Huh?"

Duan Haiping: ???

What's the situation?

Didn't you ask me to help you find someone?

As a result, people have already gone to sea to fight? That is, you don't have to look for it?

"I've already met him."

"Oh......"

"Alright, it's none of your business."

"No, there are very important things."

"What's the matter?"

"The British and the French have increased their troops and concessions, do you know?"

"Reinforcements?"

Zhang Chu shook his head.

I really don't know.

He didn't care much about the French and the British.

These two old powers did not do well during World War II. One surrendered early. Another big loss of vitality. In the end, it was replaced by a beautiful country.

In the Southeast Asian theater, the performance of the two is even worse.

If it weren't for the intervention of the beautiful country, the Japanese would have swept through Southeast Asia long ago.

Our Chinese expeditionary force was also pitted by the British. The losses are significant.

Du Yuming was defeated and walked away from Savage Mountain, and almost all the army was wiped out.

The British actually have a lot to blame for this account......

"I'm afraid it's not good for us......"

"Huh."

Zhang Chu disagreed.

It's hard for anyone to come.

As long as the gun in your hand is hard enough, you don't care how many others come.

What about ten thousand?

What about 100,000?

Just hit it!

"Sir, Mr. Badri is here."

As he spoke, a sentry hurriedly came to report.

Duan Haiping nodded at Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu then understood that Badri must have come to exert pressure.

Hehe, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

gave so much sulfonamide powder, and the other party still didn't give up.

Yes!

From now on, not a dime!

Aren't you a surge?

I'm also increasing my troops!

I recruited directly from the Concession!

Come and see Badri.

Sure enough, Badri opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang Chu, please leave the concession with your army before the first of next month." ”

"I heard that you have increased your troops from Hong Kong Island and French Indochina?"

"That's right."

"So, you think you have the strength to deal with me?"

"Yes."

"Then look at how many people I have now."

"Mr. Zhang Chu......"

"I just knocked down the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, do you think you have more Marines than the Japanese?"

"Mr. Zhang Chu......"

Badri is strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

Actually, he is very aware of the consequences of this matter.

It was impossible for Zhang Chu to back down.

If you want to force Zhang Chu to withdraw from the lease, the only way to do this is to use force.

So, here's the problem, Zhang Chu's force is so strong. If it really starts, the concession army may not be able to fight.

Wrong.

Not necessarily. Yes, definitely.

As Zhang Chu said, he has even beaten down the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters now, and his momentum is like a rainbow!

How many troops are there in the concession?

Including 800 British troops transferred from Hong Kong Island and 2,000 French troops transferred from French Indochina, the total strength is about 5,000 people.

Including the beautiful cruiser moored in the Huangpu River.

How many people are there in Zhang Chu?

I don't know.

Probably five thousand. Probably ten thousand.

Even the Japanese couldn't figure out how many people there were in this 19th Route Army. And what about the others?

If there is a real fight, I am afraid that the concession will be completely destroyed.

It's like outside the concession. It's almost in ruins.

What do they want the concession to do?

It's about profit. Not to pick up the rags.

The purpose of fighting a war is still to gain profits.

Otherwise, what to do in a war?

"I won't withdraw!"

"Nothing good for you anymore!"

"Fight if you want to!"

Zhang Chu was blunt.

Badri: ......

Speechless.

The other party really had a tough attitude.

Negotiations broke down.

The pressure is not applied at all.

There is no way, Zhang Chu can not bird them. Zhang Chu has enough strength on the other side.

The other side has people, guns, weapons and ammunition, and money!

If you want to say who is the richest tycoon in the concession now, it must be Zhang Chu. Not only the ocean, but also the dollar!

A lot of the ocean has been smashed, and now the merchants in the whole concession want to do business with the 19th Route Army.

That eagerly awaited!

Anyone who has anything to do with the 19th Route Army can make a lot of money.

Now the ocean is settled. Never in arrears.

You can even give dollars!

Which merchant doesn't like it?

If you collapse your head, you have to find a way to do business with the 19th Route Army. The Ministry of Industry is completely out of control.

Even, many foreign firms want to do business with Zhang Chu.

There was no way to limit the concession at all.

Seriously, if Zhang Chu withdraws, I'm afraid the concession will be deserted for several months!

"Mr. Zhang Chu, be cautious."

"I will."

"In the long run, it's not a ...... way"

"There's a way."

"What's the solution?"

"We take back the concession."

"You ......"

Badri frowned.

The other party came to this trick again. It's simply a threat to the red fruit.

However, he could not refute it.

The horizontal ones are afraid of the flute, and the flute ones are afraid of not dying.

This Zhang Chu is just dead.

If he really angered him, he would go on a killing spree in the concession, and the first to die would be them Badri.

There are also the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry.

No one is stupid. Life is so nourishing, who wants to die?

So......

He also came to give Zhang Chu a painless warning.

End of warning......

What to do, what to do.

What is the benefit of turning his face with Zhang Chu in a good manner? Hehe......

"I want to join the army!"

"I want to join the army!"

Suddenly, there was a deafening shouting outside.

Badri hurriedly stood up and walked to the window. I saw a large number of young adults gathered outside, and they were queuing up to apply.

Turned his head to look at Zhang Chu.

He judged that Zhang Chu was deliberately acting for him.

Spending money to find people has created the appearance that many young people are conscripted into the army, putting pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Bureau.

It's all acting.

Not really.

So, there's no need to worry.

Zhang Chu also walked to the window curiously and looked at it seriously.

Good guys, there are a lot of young people who have come to apply. At any glance, there are more than 500 people. In time, it doesn't seem like a problem to raise a few thousand.

There were 10,000 men in the 19th Route Army.

Then you can ignore any forces in the concession.

Duan Haiping is still okay.

Needless to say, it is definitely the organization behind him that is in action.

Through extensive anti-Japanese propaganda, a large number of young people were eventually inspired to actively enlist in the army. There are definitely a lot of members of the organization in it.

Very good!

It is best to have members of a red organization.

After they enlisted in the army, they were all combat backbones. It can bring extremely strong combat effectiveness to the troops.

At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army had a large number of members of the Red Organization. So the combat effectiveness is extremely strong. But later, Lao Chiang betrayed the revolution, purged the party, and the nature of the Northern Expeditionary Army changed. Combat effectiveness has also plummeted.

Decided to go out and see for yourself.

Come to the conscription.

"Sir."

"Sir."

Several officers hurriedly stood up.

Zhang Chu nodded, sat down, and personally took charge of the registration work.

"What's the name?"

"Xiao Zhan!"

"Age?"

"Twenty."

"How many siblings do you have?"

"Four brothers, four sisters."

"Are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"If your arm is broken, your thigh is broken, and your intestines are beaten out......"

"Ah......h

Xiao Zhan was stunned.

What?

The people around him also looked at each other.

This......

It's scary......

The originally fiery heart gradually became calm.

Zhang Chu didn't raise his head.

War, that's how cruel it is. You have to be mentally prepared.

The Japanese are very vicious.

Their will to fight is very tenacious.

No one can guarantee that he will come back alive after he goes to war. Including Zhang Chu himself.

"Scared?"

"Not afraid ......"

"Fear can be refused. Next. ”

"I'm not afraid."

"Why?"

"I, I, I ......"

"Say."

"I want to earn money to support my family...... I'm going to join the army, I'm going to ......"

"Pass."

"Ah......h

"Your reasons are good. Pass. ”

"Ah......h

Xiao Zhan was put in in a daze.

Something didn't feel right.

But I don't know what's wrong.

Next.

Zhang Chu was still expressionless and outspoken.

"Name?"

"Age?"

"Think about it, maybe you will be killed on the first day you go to the battlefield."

"Being shot to death is the best outcome. But it is also possible to be shot in the eye, hit in the mouth, and you may become a waste person in the future......"

Behind the scenes, Zhang Chu is still chattering.

But not many young people flinched. It's all here, and I can't afford to lose that face.

In fact, many people are also forced by life.

More and more people are pouring into the concession. It is estimated to be in the millions. So many people, they want to eat, they want to live, how do they get it?

Kidnapping and stealing?

Not the right way.

Only to join the army.

Five oceans per month. There is a bereavement pension for the injured. There is a bereavement pension for the war dead.

Scared?

Of course!

But when I think of my family, I slowly stop being afraid.

Most of the common people are simple. For the sake of your family, you can go out. If you sacrifice one of yourself to save the whole family, many people will not hesitate.

Therefore, Zhang Chu's words are heart-wrenching. But it's not completely without effect.

Be mentally prepared, and you will be braver in the future.

Sure enough, after two hours, more than 500 people successfully signed up.

It's all handsome young guys.

There are illiterate people. There are also young students.

"Read?"

"Read."

"Are you scared?"

"A little."

"Come on, do the math."

Zhang Chu took out the scratch paper and wrote a few arithmetic problems casually.

It's all simple multiplication and division. It was all worked out quickly. The results were also correct. So, they were all incorporated into tank units, or artillery.

This is a technical class. Culture is needed.

It just so happens that in the Songhu area, there are many intellectual young people and culture.

Whether it is a tank crew, or an artillery crew, it can be controlled.

With the increase in the number of the Nineteenth Route Army, Zhang Chu already had a preliminary plan to adapt it.

Restructuring into three infantry regiments. A tank regiment. An artillery regiment.

There are also guard companies, special service companies, reconnaissance companies, cavalry companies, and so on.

Where do the tanks go?

There is a way. Not much, though. But there are also.

Artillery or something, even more. Those 107-mm rocket artillery can quite well form an artillery regiment.

The plan is set.

Immediately came to see Head Xie.

It just so happened that Head Xie also came to him.

"Sir, I'm going to be rebuilt."

"Where to go?"

"Jinling."

"Good!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

After all, Regiment Commander Xie is a member of the 88th Division, and he must be rebuilt.

Zhang Chu never thought that he would incorporate the people of the 88th Division into the 19th Route Army. It's like the Baoshan Battalion, which can't be subordinate to the 19th Route Army.

However, the 88th Division is not in Jinling!

Retreat long ago.

As if seeing Zhang Chu's doubts, Regiment Commander Xie said: "Our troops are about to enter Jinling, I will wait for them there." ”

"You, the 88th Division, are coming to Jinling?" Zhang Chu was deeply surprised.

How? The descendants are also coming?

Didn't they already retreat to Hankow? Ready to go back again?

Lao Jiang changed his plans again?

Never mind.

Go back, go back!

In any case, the return of the 88th Division to Jinling can be regarded as an increase in defensive strength.

"Farewell!"

"Goodbye!"

Zhang Chu and Head Xie stood up and saluted and said goodbye.

After sending Commander Xie away, the 19th Route Army was immediately reorganized. Three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one tank regiment, and several other companies were formed.

All the troops were under-manned. Each infantry regiment had only about 1,000 men.

If it is according to the regimental establishment of the Eighth Route Army, it is almost full. But according to the establishment of the German infantry regiment, it needs 3850 people to be full! Not even a third!

Tank regiments are even more outrageous. In total, there were only five Type 59 tanks.

The artillery regiment combined 75-mm mountain artillery, as well as 107-mm rocket artillery, and the establishment of 700 people was more than enough.

The other reconnaissance companies, special service companies, and so on, were not fully manned. There were about seventy of them.

But it doesn't matter, put up the shelves first, and then slowly replenish them.

With the continuous deepening of anti-Japanese propaganda, more and more young and middle-aged people will be mobilized, and the troops will definitely become more and more substantial.

The problem now is that Lu Dayou's command ability is limited.

He hadn't commanded too many people before. At most, there were less than 100 people. Now to command 5,000 people, it is obviously not enough.

handed it over to others, Zhang Chu was not at ease.

The others are even more collapsed than Lu Dayou. It is impossible to command such a large number of troops.

Duan Haiping......

He was not good at military command.

"I can't."

Lu Dayou also has self-knowledge.

It's a time of war. It's going to be war. If you are not capable, you will lose the battle.

Losing a battle isn't just about yourself. It will also inflict great losses on the troops. If the 19th Route Army is defeated, the anti-Japanese stronghold in Zhabei will be lost.

The consequences are severe.

Zhang Chu then came to find Lao Tan. Lao Tan must find a way to deal with this matter.

"I want to be alone."

"Preferably from your red side."

"It is necessary to have a lot of combat experience. Able to work under pressure. Able to fight independently. ”

Zhang Chu made a condition.

He believes that the organization behind Lao Tan must have a way.

There is difficulty to get on.

There are no difficulties to create difficulties......

Oh, wrong......

In short, even Yu Zecheng can arrange a wife for him temporarily, and it is not easy to find a commander who can fight?

On the red side, there are more people who can fight. Which base area was not punched out?

After the Long March of the main Red Army, there were many people who stayed behind to persist in the War of Resistance. As long as Red is willing, he will definitely be able to find the right person.

"I have someone."

Who knows, Lao Tan's answer was very refreshing.

Zhang Chu was overjoyed.

Oh?

Red has been ready for a long time?

Terrible!

Then send it over!

I'm busy right now. He was also preparing to go to sea to clean up the Japanese warships. Not much time is wasted here.

Every minute counts, okay.

You can kill several Japanese criminals in one minute, and you can get many sporadic rewards......

"But he's hurt."

"Where?"

"Maria Hospital."

"Then hurry up and treat it!"

"He's seriously injured. It's best if you go and see for yourself. ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Chu did not hesitate.

Immediately beckoned, calling a jeep.

Drive to Maria's Hospital.

According to Lao Tan, this injured person was codenamed Lao Song. The specific name, Zhang Chu saw someone, and the other party would say it.

Quickly rushed into Maria's Hospital.

I found that a lot of Ah San patrols have come here.

Disregard.

Go straight up to the third floor.

But was stopped.

"Stop!"

"No one can go up!"

"That's you!"

A third patrol was holding a baton and pointed at Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and pulled the baton, and then dragged it over.

"Get out!"

Roar.

Lao Tzu wants to do something. Don't delay Lao Tzu's business.

"Catch him!"

"Catch him!"

The other Ah San patrols immediately pounced.

Zhang Chu held a baton in his hand and beat Ah San around him violently.

Catch me?

All right!

Come on!

He was fast and powerful, and in an instant, he knocked the seven Ah San Patrol Hunters to the ground.

Hum!

Catch me!

Don't look at the current concession, who is the boss!

I'm the boss!

"Oops......"

"Oops......"

All sorts of screams.

was beaten by Zhang Chu not lightly.

Although there are no bones broken. But they couldn't get up on their stomachs.

Zhang Chu threw away the baton at any time.

If you don't even have a gun, you dare to be arrogant in front of Lao Tzu?

"Stop!"

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, several French patrols with guns rushed in front.

They all had Lebour rifles in their hands. Caliber 8 mm. Embolization. Six-round magazine. The standard equipment of the French army.

Zhang Chu's expression did not move.

The French patrolmen had strange faces.

As if feeling some kind of pressure, they all gradually retreated.

Eventually, they all withdrew from the hospital.

Zhang Chu then put away the Thomson submachine gun.

Count you as knowledgeable.

Otherwise, see if my Thomson is fast, or your Lebor rifle is fast.

Turn around.

Come up to the third floor.

Come to room 309.

Push the door in.

It's empty inside. No one.

Walk over to the bedside. Reached out and touched the quilt. And a little bit of temperature.

Oh, the man is gone.

Really......

Didn't you say serious injuries? Why did you leave all of a sudden?

Wait a minute......

Seriously injured!

Rush out of the room quickly.

Look around.

I saw a lot of quilts piled up in the corner. So I walked over.

"What do you do?"

Suddenly, a nurse appeared behind him.

The voice is somewhat familiar.

Zhang Chu turned back quietly. Sure enough, it was an acquaintance.

Very familiar.

A Japanese beauty spy.

Jiya.

It's the one I met outside the plug before.

It's strange that she is here. Could it be that at this time, she is already undercover here?

Boy.

Thoughtful!

It's already in place.

"Hello."

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

"You're Miss Jiya, aren't you?"

"I'm not. My name is Lin Wan'er. ”

"Lin ......"

Zhang Chu's mind moved.

Lin Wan'er? I believe you're a ghost! You are Giya!

I've been with you and Ulan for so long, I'll admit my mistake? Even if it's a DNA test, you're definitely Jiya.

And there's a second name......

But when it comes to the identity of the other party's spy, it is not surprising that there are a few more names.

Maybe tomorrow, she won't be here.

It seems that the disappearance of the target has a lot to do with this Jiya.

Yes, if you can't find the target, I'll look for you!

You don't know, and the people behind you certainly know! If you don't know, you have to know!

It's like the one-eyed dragon of the Green Gang.

I'll look for you!

Then you go and fix something else! Otherwise......

Suddenly, he smiled slightly.

"Wan'er, I'm your boyfriend! Did you forget? ”
