The squad asked Xu Hu to take him away that night. Before leaving, Ono took half an hour to go to the quartermaster's office to find Ono and ask him which shops of the Japanese army were the most valuable and where they could make the most money.

Xiao Ye was the most clear about money. He knew that he would earn a profit from selling these things in the future, so he patiently talked to Xu Hu and even took the time to give him a booklet and left him a few words.

If you really have no choice, just follow the instructions above.

Division Headquarters.

As soon as Commander Yu got up, his adjutant came up to him with a towel. "Commander, we found out that Zhou Weiguo sent the team there mainly to steal money."

Rob what?

Commander Yu took the towel and prepared to wipe his face. Hearing what the adjutant said, he raised his head and asked, "What is he going to do?"

"They robbed the Japanese army's shops and some people who might surrender to the Japanese army."

Niang Xipi’s.

Division Commander Yu almost bit his back teeth to pieces. Zhou Weiguo had been yelling at him the day before yesterday about cooperating with friendly forces and showing off the might of the 58th Division. It was all bullshit. He wasn't there to cooperate in the battle, he was there to rob money.

The squad that was trained at great expense was there just to rob him.

"Master, should we remind them?"

Commander Yu looked at his adjutant. "How can we remind them? We are short-handed and have been blocked by artillery. How can we have the nerve to remind them? Forget it. Let them rob. Anyway, this is also a way to cooperate with friendly forces in combat.

On August 13, the general offensive against the Japanese Marines began in full swing.

The 58th Division did not receive any orders and could only wait in Yichang City.

At the division headquarters, Division Commander Yu stood in front of the map, listening to the officers' reports, and then outlined the speed of the troops' advance on the map.

Seeing the 88th Division advance so far, Division Commander Yu was furious. "Damn it, I knew this guy surnamed Sun couldn't fight. What does he want to do? Why doesn't he dare to fight the Japanese with bayonets? What kind of soldier is he? If I were to go up, I would kill his sons of bitches."

Several senior staff officers said nothing. If this man started cursing, he would beat anyone who provoked him.

"Report." The communications director ran in with a telegram.

With his hands on his hips, Division Commander Yu turned his head and looked at the female soldier in front of him. He cursed, "If you have anything to fart, do it now."

The female soldier was embarrassed for a moment, but she also knew the division's temper, so she opened the file directly; "Nanjing ordered that the 58th Division set out immediately, go to Wuhan, be transported to Nanjing by cargo ship, and then take a train to Shanghai to fight."

"Okay, okay. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Come on, assemble the whole division." He excitedly read the telegram and clapped his hands to look at everyone with a grin. "Everyone, let's go to Shanghai and teach them how to fight this war."

The deputy division commander beside him thought for a moment, "Should we let Zhou Weiguo's independent battalion take the lead?"

What a vanguard, if they hadn't been watched closely, they would have fought with the Japanese before he arrived. The independent battalion was now full of energy. They lit up when they heard about the Japanese army. He was not stupid enough to let this howling hungry wolf out.

"Let them go with the division headquarters." Division Commander Yu turned his head and glanced at his deputy chief of staff. "They are a bunch of lunatics. If you don't keep an eye on them, they will go crazy."

The 58th Division set out the next morning after receiving the order, and Zhou Weiguo's independent battalion went with the division headquarters.

The troops first went to Wuhan, then took a cargo ship in Wuhan, disembarked at Xiaguan Wharf, and then went to the train station to take a train.

Originally, the cargo ship could go south along the Yangtze River, but the problem was that, due to the issue of air supremacy, if they took the water route to participate in the war, they would suffer heavy losses once the enemy bombers arrived. Therefore, all troops did not take the water route after arriving in Nanjing, at least the Japanese air force had not yet arrived here.

The two brigades of the 58th Division went first. They were real infantrymen who walked on foot. They had no heavy weapons, just mortars, which they could carry and walk. The same was true for the independent battalion headquarters.

The independent battalion is a mechanized unit created by Commander Yu with great perseverance. Motorcycles, trucks, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. all need to be transported down from the base.

So they were the last to go.

As early as on the ship, Zhou Weiguo had already issued the order that the independent battalion was the elite, so the people must be shown what the elite should look like. When they got to the dock, everyone was in high spirits, artillery was hung on the tractor, anti-aircraft machine guns were directly mounted with the muzzles pointed at the sky, and Czech machine guns were mounted on motorcycles.

In a word, we must let the people of Nanjing see that the 58th Division is different from other troops, and the independent battalion is even more different.

Even a crane standing out from the crowd cannot describe the scene when the independent battalion appeared on the streets of Nanjing.

There were two rows of motorcycles, with three people on each motorcycle, one driving and one sitting at the back. Next to them was a mounted Czech machine gun, and following behind the motorcycles was a truck. The muzzles of the single and twin anti-aircraft machine guns were pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle. The soldiers lined up on both sides, carrying backpacks and holding rifles with bayonets, looked fiercely into the distance.

The truck was towing a field gun in the front, but there was no more at the back, so the 37mm anti-tank guns were used to fill the gap, followed by the medical platoon.

Zhou Weiguo equipped the medical platoon with pistols from the very beginning. No matter they were officers or soldiers, they all had pistols hanging on the right side of their waists and medical bags on their left sides.

Behind them were the infantrymen, carrying rifles and anti-aircraft machine guns in an orderly manner. The soldiers behind them carried mortars, followed behind the trucks, and advanced forward in silence.

"Hey, look, their female soldiers are all equipped with pistols. Weird, which unit is this? The female soldiers are all equipped with pistols. This is more impressive than the Taxation Corps that passed by some time ago."

"That's right. I've never seen female soldiers equipped with pistols."

"The 58th Division, didn't you see it just now? The flag belongs to the 58th Division, and this seems to be their independent battalion. My goodness, this is the most ferocious unit I have seen in a while. To be honest, I don't even dare to look them in the eye."

Xiao Ya was also nearby today. She heard from Deng Yaoxian that the 58th Division would pass by here today, so she came here to wait early in the evening, hoping that she could just catch a glimpse of Awen from afar.

However, she had already passed half of the independent camp and had not seen anyone. She knew that Awen must be in those cars.

Shen Xin pulled Xiao Ya aside and said with a smile, "See? He's praising your family for Weiguo."

Shen Xin has been here frequently recently. She has seen many troops passing by, but she has never let the people say who is more powerful. Today is the first time she heard it.

Hey……

Xiao Ya sighed heavily, and this sigh made the man who had just spoken next to her turn his head and look at Xiao Ya. He wanted to scold her, but seeing that Xiao Ya was well-dressed and didn't know which family she was from, he could only frown and change his tone to ask, "Miss, why are you sighing?"

Xiao Ya turned her head and looked at him and said, "You only saw the pistols on their waists, but you don't know who they are for. If you knew, you probably wouldn't envy their pistols."
