Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Yu Huohuo nodded, stood up, walked to the outside of the courtyard, looked at the ruined Shanghai for a long time, and then said, "Hundreds of thousands of troops have fought bloody battles for more than a few months, but they were ultimately unable to stop the Japanese occupation. After all, I also have some selfish motives to preserve the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

Area No. 4 of the Wufu National Defense Line is where the Independent Regiment will defend and rest this time.

This place is located in the northeast of Suzhou, some distance away from Suzhou.

Tanks drove past from the side road one after another, filled with soldiers, and on both sides of the road were the infantry of the independent regiment.

Zhou Weiguo got out of a car and looked at the three-way intersection. If he turned left, he would be able to reach Suzhou City.

Fang Shengli got out of the car and saw Zhou Weiguo looking in the direction of Suzhou and pointed; "Why don't we go back and take a look."

Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Shengli, then lit it and leaned against the car door and shook his head; "I'm not going back. There's no one home anymore."

My father and father-in-law went to Shancheng to open a factory two years ago. I don't know where my eldest brother Liu Yuan went. Liu Zhihui, my father called me some time ago and said that he also applied for the Central Military Academy. In Suzhou, there are only a few servants left. If he goes back, there will be nothing to see.

The Quartermaster's vehicle arrived.

Ono saw the two people in the car. He asked Chen Ning to brake, then got out of the car and came to Zhou Weiguo to ask.

"Weiguo, what's going on? Why did we retreat here so quickly to rest?"

Ono knew that the independent regiment was going to rest in the rear, but he always thought that this rest would only be a little further behind the battlefield. But he never expected that the troops would withdraw so far.

If he retreats so far, what can he steal or make money from?

Zhou Weiguo naturally knew the reason. They couldn't win the battle. The Japanese Tenth Army had already landed and was about to cut off the retreat route of the 300,000-man army. The commander probably got the news and wanted the independent regiment to evacuate first to avoid being unable to evacuate at that time.

After all, this is a mechanized corps with tanks, armored vehicles and a large number of vehicles. Once hundreds of thousands of troops evacuate, there are only a few roads, and the roads will definitely be blocked. Tanks and trucks will probably be unable to move. If they can't be taken away, they can only be destroyed.

"We have suffered heavy losses, and new soldiers cannot arrive. We have been fighting continuously and have been hated in Shanghai. We need to come back to replenish our forces and train well before we fight them to the death."

Zhou Weiguo found a reason that everyone believed.

Fang Shengli and the others had no doubts, but Xiao Ye pointed to the direction of Suzhou in confusion; "Shouldn't we evacuate to Suzhou? We are walking this way now, which way are we going?"

"Wu Fu National Defense Fortification Line." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the road on the right.

"What?" Ono opened his mouth in shock and looked around; "This... there are national defense fortifications here, how come I didn't know about it."

Not only you don't know, but also not many people in the Japanese military know that these lines of fortification were built secretly. There are two lines in total, the Wufu Line in the front and the Xicheng Line in the back. How could so many people know that these two lines of defense exist to protect Nanjing?

"Would you know? He was once the team leader, and later opened a restaurant in Kyoto. In the end, he would hang out with me. Do you think you could know?" Zhou Weiguo retorted.

Ono stopped talking. He kicked the pebbles on the ground with his toes and frowned, "I have a feeling that we won't have a chance to gain any benefits from the battle in Shanghai."

There is no benefit after the fight, isn't that bullshit? Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ono squatted on the ground, picked up a stone and drew a few circles on it. He wanted to say that he would take the people from the Quartermaster Department to get the things over there, but he guessed that Zhou Weiguo would not agree.

"Nothing, let's go to the defense line first."

This time, Zhou Weiguo was defending area No. 4, which was the front section facing the direction of Shanghai and had more than 20 bunkers.

The bunkers were disguised as grave mounds. Because of a long period of time, the graves were overgrown with grass. Some bunkers were built in the woods.

The trenches were densely covered, and the forks in the road were marked. Inside the bunker, there were a lot of barbed wire and neatly stacked wooden stakes.

These things should have been proposed by the German instructors. After all, in positional warfare, barbed wire is definitely a powerful weapon to defend against the advance of infantry. However, these things were not carried out directly.

This is a secret defense line. How can we bring these things out so blatantly?

Ono still had some supplies that he hadn't sold, including some Japanese military swords, bullet shells, clothes and so on.

In fact, if the Japanese military uniforms were not so yellow, they would not be much different from the Zhongshan suit, except for the lack of a pocket on the chest.

Ono was also a ruthless man. He recruited a dozen women to join the Quartermaster Department. They did nothing else but seal bags. Then they used military uniforms as Zhongshan suits, repainted them, and let Chen Ning set up a stall.

It is cheap and of good quality, and can also be a source of income.

Today, Ono was trying to trick the female students at Suzhou Girls' Middle School into buying bullet shells, saying that they could ward off evil spirits and that ghosts would not dare to come to the house at night.

He was a good liar and spoke as if it were true. At least hundreds of bullet shells were sold out in a short time.

He was happily counting his money when he heard the noisy noise and looked up.

My goodness, there were quite a few rickshaws on the streets, and in front of these rickshaws were a lot of young men, some of whom were wearing cheongsams with their long legs exposed, and were running to the west in panic.

Behind these people, there were rickshaws pulling a lot of boxes.

"Chen Ning, go and find out what happened." Ono casually threw the money into the bag next to him and looked up at the restaurant not far away.

He thought that Zhou Weiguo and his men had been eating from a big pot during this period, and thought that it was time to improve their food, so he threw some money to the soldier next to him, "Buy a few pigs, so that our independent regiment can have a feast today. In addition, Chen Ning is here, let him come to the restaurant to find me."

Ono went to the restaurant, ordered three dishes, a pound of wine and two bowls and chopsticks.

He drank and ate slowly, and thought the food was good, so he asked the waiter to order three dishes. He also ordered a few meat dishes to be taken away, and prepared to go downstairs to find Zhou Weiguo for dinner.

After drinking half a catty of wine and feeling a little tipsy, he finally waited for Chen Ning.

It was winter now, and Chen Ning had already changed into winter cotton clothes, but they were not very warm.

"Have two drinks to warm yourself up." Ono burped and pointed across the table.

Chen Ning was not polite either. He took a few sips of wine, ate some food, and said to Xiao Ye, "Director, I found out that Shanghai has fallen and the army is withdrawing here. Those people just now were some wealthy families in Suzhou. They got wind of the news and are preparing to take refuge in the rear."

Xiao Ye slammed the table hard, which frightened Chen Ning.

Why is the director slamming the table for no reason?
