Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Early in the morning, at the garrison of the 336th Regiment.

Gu Changfeng got up very early. He had no habit of sleeping in in his previous life, and it was even more so in this world.

Liao Guangyi also got up early. Seeing Gu Changfeng, he smiled and said, "How was the talk yesterday?"

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "It's all settled. Let's see how we deal with the devils today."

Liao Guangyi knew Gu Changfeng's abilities, so he didn't ask much. Instead, he talked about the thousands of soldiers who came this morning.

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liao Lei to be so fast!

"I heard from them that they were ordered to come and report to you. Have you really joined us?" Liao Guangyi was a little surprised.

Gu Changfeng said: "No, I just want to help you fight the Japanese. I will withdraw to Nanjing after this is over."

Liao Lei and his men's mission was not to hold the position to the bitter end, but to buy time so that the main force could evacuate.

Liao Guangyi expressed his understanding and then said, "Let's go! I'll show you around."

On the west side of the camp, thousands of thinly dressed and unarmed soldiers were looking around.

They were originally defeated soldiers who were gathered by Liao Lei. He was going to give them weapons and let them guard the city of Changshu.

As a result, I encountered Gu Changfeng's request, and I just gave him a part of it.

Seeing several people coming, the leading man came out and said, "Hello, officers. May I ask which one is Gu Changfeng, Officer Gu?"

Gu Changfeng looked at the man and said, "I am."

The man immediately stood up straight, saluted, and said, "Commander Gu, my name is Deng Wu, and I'm their battalion commander. I've been ordered to report here. Please give me your instructions."

The order was given personally by the senior official, so even though the man looked after Gu Changfeng because he was young, he did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

Gu Changfeng returned the greeting and asked, "Captain Deng, right? How many of you are coming this time?"

"Report to the commander, there are 976 people in total." Deng Wu replied respectfully.

"Okay, you guys wait here first." Gu Changfeng said, looking at Yang Zhenhua who had just walked over.

"Have our supplies arrived yet?"

As soon as he came back yesterday, he notified Yang Zhenhua and asked him to get the supplies from the reed marsh first. As for the people, they were still waiting there.

"We arrived last night and were waiting for your arrangements." Yang Zhenhua said as he looked at the soldiers in front of him curiously.

Gu Changfeng didn’t say anything yesterday, but now that everyone is standing here, he has guessed a little.

You know, although the conditions of the soldiers of the 336th Regiment were not very good, their clothes, food and equipment were not bad, but these people were like refugees.

Gu Changfeng didn't let him guess and said directly: "This brother is called Deng Wu. From now on, he will be our soldier until the main force here withdraws."

He winked at Yang Zhenhua and continued:

"Old Yang, distribute all the weapons seized yesterday. We might not have enough guns, but we'll use them first."

"Bring out the food, everyone, hold on tight, and finish this meal first. We'll go deal with the devils later."

How could Yang Zhenhua not know what Gu Changfeng was thinking, so he immediately turned around, shook Deng Wu's hand and said.

"Brother Deng, my name is Yang Zhenhua, the commander of the Second Company under Commander Gu. Our unit doesn't have a unit number yet."

"But now that the country is in crisis, we can still fight the Japanese with or without a unit number, don't you think?"

Deng Wu listened in confusion. His hand was accidentally held, and he felt a little stiff.

Yang Zhenhua was very enthusiastic and continued speaking regardless of his expression.

"We seized quite a few canned goods yesterday. I asked my brothers to bring them over so we can eat them first."

"Weapons will be given after we finish eating. But there are only about 200 Type rifles. Everyone can use them first."

Deng Wu finally came to his senses when he heard about canned weapons and said awkwardly.

"Just keep it simple. As for weapons, we're not in a hurry."

"Hey, we're going to fight the Japanese after eating, how can we not be anxious?" Yang Zhenhua said and instructed the soldier next to him.

"Go ask Captain Wu to move all the food over here. We'll eat here too."

Gu Changfeng watched quietly for a while, then took Liao Guangyi away. It was enough for the people below to understand what he meant.

You've joined his team and you still want to run away?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Liao Guangyi watched for a while and saw what Gu Changfeng was thinking, but he didn't care. He pulled Gu Changfeng and said:

"If you have something good, you should give it to me. Look how poor we are."

Gu Changfeng was speechless and rolled his eyes implicitly. Damn it, everyone treated him as a local rich man and everyone wanted to share the benefits.

But think about it, among those fighting the Japanese now, it seems that his own team is the richest.

Except for the lack of heavy artillery, everything else is fine.

He could only say awkwardly, "Brother Liao, I'm still poor. The battle last night really made me broke. I lost all my weapons."

Liao Guangyi looked at Gu Changfeng with a look of contempt on his face.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng sighed and said, "Well, if there are any captured items, I'll support you a little. We'll have to see the situation!"

He is not stingy. The main reason is that his own people are not yet complete, so how can he support Liao Guangyi first?

Liao Guangyi said with satisfaction: "I trust you very much. With your ability to fight the Japanese, it will only take a few minutes."

"Well, my requirements are not high. Just a few mountain cannons and a few dozen heavy machine guns with Type 99 handles will be enough."

"What the hell." Gu Changfeng blurted out "What the hell," and then looked at Liao Guangyi in shock.

"I don't have any myself, so forget it. Grenade launchers are easy, a Type 38 rifle would be fine, but I don't have a Type 99 rifle."

He himself was short of these things, so how could he possibly give them to Liao Guangyi?

Liao Guangyi was like a businessman at this time, quite penny-wise, and said to Gu Changfeng.

"It's okay if the Japanese don't have any mountain artillery, but give me 10 heavy machine guns, a Type 30 rifle, and 30 grenade launchers."

"Brother, I don't ask for much. You don't want me to die on this battlefield, do you?"

Gu Changfeng sighed and said, "I'll try my best with the heavy machine gun, a Type 38 rifle or something will do, but forget about anything else!"

He almost always fought quickly and decisively, so the heavy machine gun was of little use to him, so it didn't matter whether he had it or not.

The others are not good, but the Type 99 rifle and grenade launcher are all good things.

Lightweight, easy to carry, and powerful.

"That's 10 heavy machine guns, and give me more bullets!"

"By the way, you just mentioned the Japanese Type 38 rifles. Give me a few hundred of them too."

Liao Guangyi was as proud as a mouse that had stolen oil.

Gu Changfeng was not stupid. He knew that this elder brother did it on purpose, so he did not expose him and agreed directly.

After all, they have rescued each other twice and are quite familiar with each other. There are not so many twists and turns on the battlefield, as long as they are attracted to each other.

"Come on, let me take you to eat some good food. The soldiers have just hunted some wild game. Let me give you a taste of it."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Liao Guangyi pulled Gu Changfeng to the kitchen.

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that if he didn't agree, this person would not treat him.

On the west side of the camp, Yang Zhenhua organized the soldiers to distribute canned food and dry food.

Deng Wu's soldiers looked at the food and their eyes became red.

In fact, they had not eaten a full meal for a long time, and basically had meals sporadically. When they suddenly saw meat, they were all stunned.

Yang Zhenhua looked at their expressions and said loudly, "Don't just stand there, eat quickly."

"We eat this every day and we're almost sick of it. If you like it, I'll make you some more tonight."

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked and looked at Yang Zhenhua.

Yang Zhenhua smiled and said, "My soldiers are here too. You can ask them if they like it after you finish eating. It's very simple if you want to eat this."

He has grasped the essence of deception by starting with bragging.

Of course, this is not completely exaggeration. They have indeed eaten too much canned food during this period, and it is not as delicious as white rice.

The soldiers of the second company were very cooperative. They also sat down with cans in their hands and began to talk about how to fight the Japanese and how vulnerable they were.

The newly joined soldiers were stunned.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Gu Changfeng entrusted the wounded soldiers to Liao Guangyi and set off with a group of people.
