More than two months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was May of the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China (1939). 』』『． ．
After more than two months of development, the patrol camp has expanded to the size of a brigade, with almost 6,000 people. This is quite different from Xu Rui's expectations. You must know that there are 50,000 National Army veterans stranded in Shanghai. Rui originally thought that after two months of expansion, the patrol battalion could be expanded to a division of 15,000 people.
However, the cruel reality is that the patrol battalion has only expanded to a brigade of more than 6,000 people.
The remaining veterans were indifferent no matter how the people in the patrol camp did their ideological work.
Xu Rui once analyzed with Lao Wang that the reason why these National Army veterans stranded in Shanghai were unwilling to re-enlist was because their hearts were completely cold. However, this cannot be blamed on them. Who caused the defeat of the Songhu Battle? Did the commander of the Third War Zone and the National Army Headquarters abandon them
Before the defeat at the Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Army originally had at least three days to retreat, which was enough time for the commander of the Third Theater District to evacuate more than 200,000 wounded soldiers.
However, just as the Third Theater was preparing to retreat, Chairman Chiang sent a telegram to postpone the retreat.
The reason why Chairman Chiang wanted to postpone the withdrawal was because the United Nations General Assembly meeting to be held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva three days later would mediate the Sino-Japanese dispute. Chairman Chiang pinned his hopes on Western countries to intervene, so he ordered the National Army to Stand your ground to get more out of the negotiation.
However, Chairman Chiang clearly overestimated the willingness and determination of Western countries to intervene in the Sino-Japanese dispute.
The price of this overestimation was that the National Army lost three of its most precious days. Three days later, at the end of the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, the Western powers, led by Britain and France, just mildly condemned the Japanese government. Nothing more happened. Generalissimo Chiang was disappointed and quickly ordered the Nationalist Army to retreat.
However, at this time, Yanagawa Heisuke's Tenth Army had already ascended from Jinshan Guard.
In just one day, Yanagawa Heisuke's vanguard troops pushed into Qingpu County, and were about to make dumplings for nearly a hundred divisions of the National Army elite who were stranded on the Songhu battlefield. Now Chiang Kai-shek was anxious. Let all the troops in the third theater throw away all burdens and retreat in large strides.
The Third War Zone faithfully implemented Chairman Chiang's orders.
Among the burdens thrown away by the third theater were 250,000 seriously wounded people.
The scene at that time was simply unbearable to watch. The main highways from Shanghai to Nanjing were all piled with stretchers. Even the fields on both sides of the highway were filled with wounded people and stretchers. As far as the eye could see, the ground was connected to the sky. They were wounded members of the National Army, and the cries, howls, and curses were simply beyond description.
The vast majority of these more than 200,000 seriously injured people died, either from the bombing and shelling of the Japanese, from the lack of timely and effective care, or from being overtaken by the Japanese and brutally stabbed to death with bayonets. There were even The one who was trampled to death by Pao Ze was devastated by the scene during the retreat, when half a million troops collapsed along the highway.
So in the end, only a small number of the wounded with minor injuries escaped into the concession, and some were rescued by the stretcher team organized by the Shanghai citizens. In total, there were only about 50,000 people, less than one-fifth of all the wounded. , the remaining nearly 200,000 seriously injured people died in this way.
These 200,000 seriously injured people had a chance to recover and return to the battlefield. However, because of Chairman Chiang's wrong decision, they died in the wilderness. It is really sad to say that. , therefore, it is completely understandable that the 50,000 National Army veterans stranded in the concession are unwilling to return to the battlefield.
Although these veterans were lucky to survive, their hearts were cold.
It is precisely because of their cold hearts that no matter how Xie Yuan and the soldiers of Gujun Camp do their work, these National Army veterans are indifferent. They would rather continue to live a miserable life. They would rather live in such a humble way than pick up a gun again. When they set foot on the battlefield, they have already been abandoned once and do not want to be abandoned a second time.
Therefore, two months have passed, and the patrol battalion has only expanded to one brigade.
In response to the threat from the patrol camp, the strength of the Broadway Building has also been expanded.
Since the last robbery incident, Yingzuo Zhenzhao has repositioned Broadway Building and No. 76.
In Ying Zuo Zhenzhao's positioning, No. 76 is specially used to deal with military commanders and underground party organizations, while Liang Wuyi's Broadway Building is specially used to deal with patrol battalions. With the expansion, the staff size of Broadway Building must also be expanded. Until now, Broadway Building has also expanded to almost a brigade.
For more than two months, Xu Rui's life has been very comfortable. In addition to going to various entertainment venues to show off his power every day, acting like a playboy, he also has to fight with the patrol camp every now and then. Instead of eating something today If you kill dozens of people at a small loss, you can take advantage of it and kill dozens of people in the patrol camp tomorrow.
All these exchanges are, of course, just a double act.
However, the double act that has been played for more than two months has not been revealed. It cannot be simply attributed to good luck or because Xu Rui acts carefully. In fact, Xu Rui acts very carefully. Before every confrontation with the patrol camp, More than a hundred cannon fodder will be prepared in advance, and then these cannon fodder will be forced to rush to the front for the patrol battalion to attack.
Moreover, these cannon fodders are not temporary recruits. They have all stayed in the Broadway Building for a period of time. In fact, the agents of the Third Special Agent Brigade are basically cannon fodder. Every time he confronts the patrol battalion, Xu Rui will let the Third Agent Brigade take the lead. , let the snipers of the patrol battalion shoot him.
Similarly, there are cannon fodder troops at the patrol camp.
Therefore, in fact, in every confrontation, the cannon fodder troops of both sides are exchanging fire, but it is quite similar. Every confrontation has casualties on each other. This does scare the Japanese observers accompanying the army. Although Ying Zuo Zhenzhao trusts Xu Rui, but still sent a large number of Japanese observers to Broadway Building.
However, no matter how meticulous Xu Rui's actions are, it is absolutely impossible to say that no flaws have been revealed in dozens of confrontations within two months. No matter how lucky he is, this It is absolutely impossible. Fortunately, there is a traitor named Shadow in the Nakamura Agency, who is trying to cover up Xu Rui in every possible way.
So until now, Yingzuo Zhenzhao has not doubted Broadway Building.
So until now, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is very supportive of Broadway Tower.
Xu Rui just went to the Nakamura Agency again. The old devil Yingzuo Zhenzhao allocated some weapons and equipment to the Broadway Building, including fifty shell guns made in Hanyang or five hundred Chinese official rifles and twenty imitation Czech light machine guns. , plus twelve Maxim heavy machine guns, used to equip the newly expanded battalion of Broadway Building.
This kind of treatment made Li Shiqun, who went to the Zhongcun Agency together, envious.
In the past two months, the activities of the Juntong Hurricane Team in Shanghai have become more and more rampant. Even Li Shiqun has been assassinated by the Juntong Hurricane Team several times. If he had not been cautious enough, he would have changed the time and route every time he went out, and I will also make some fuss about the order of the three cars in the same group, but I am afraid that I have been killed several times.
Therefore, Li Shiqun has been clamoring to expand the staff of No. 76.
However, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was not as polite to Li Shiqun as he was to Xu Rui. Not only did Yingzuo Zhenzhao not agree to Li Shiqun's request to expand personnel, he even reprimanded Li Shiqun. This was also because No. 76 really failed to live up to expectations. , it has been more than two months, and the business of the opium den has not yet started seriously.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao originally had high hopes for No. 76. He fully expected that No. 76 could revive the opium industry in the Japanese-occupied areas as soon as possible and then provide a large amount of funds to the Nakamura Agency every month. But who It is also conceivable that Li Shiqun and No. 76 were never able to restart the opium industry.
Because whenever a smoking den is opened on the 76th, it will be attacked by armed forces within three days, either from the military hurricane team or from the patrol camp, or even from the police. On the 76th, they tried Over a dozen times, more than 20 opium dens and gambling dens were opened one after another, but none of them could survive three days.
Li Shiqun tried every means, and even asked Ying Zuo for two Japanese squadrons, and set up a killing bureau. He tried to pretend to open a opium den and ambush the officers and soldiers of the military hurricane team or patrol battalion who came to attack, but he was not allowed to do so. What is frustrating is that the military commander and the patrol battalion have noses sharper than dogs, and they are not fooled at all.
Two months have passed, and none of the opium dens that I wanted to open on the 76th have been opened. Instead, more than 10,000 boxes of opium cream have been lost in vain. This makes Yingzuo Zhenzhao very angry, so every time they meet They all had to scold Li Shiqun. If they could still give Li Shiqun a good look, that would be a shame.
Let’s talk about Xu Rui, who returned to Broadway Building with weapons and equipment.
Wang Husheng and Liu Mei went out to do business. Wu Han was not there either, only Jiang Nan was.
On the surface, Jiang Nan is the woman that Liang Wuyi, the young master, snatched away, and she is his personal secretary.
"Is everything going well?" As soon as Xu Rui entered, Jiang Nan came forward and took off Xu Rui's cloak.
"It went very smoothly. It couldn't be smoother." Xu Rui conveniently touched Jiang Nan's plump buttocks, biting his ear and said, "Did you miss me?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Nan rolled his eyes at Xu Rui and said angrily, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "The ancients said that one day without seeing each other is like three autumns. Half a day is equivalent to a year and a half. Hey, we haven't seen each other for such a long time?"
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes at Xu Rui again and said angrily, "There is no formal appearance either."
Xu Rui chuckled and asked Jiang Nan again: "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I don't want to eat, I have no appetite." Just as Jiang Nan finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and started retching. Announcement: Biquge app is online, supporting Android and Apple.
