Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Liao Guangyi left and took away more than 1600 prisoners including Gu Changfeng.

Including civilians and soldiers, nearly 3000 people returned to the camp in a mighty procession.

After receiving the news, Liao Lei immediately took a battalion and guards there.

By nightfall, Liao Lei finally saw the heavy artillery that Liao Guangyi had mentioned. He suddenly became excited and spoke excitedly.

"Gu kid is good. He knows how to hand over the good stuff when he has it. Haha."

Although he received the notice yesterday, seeing is believing.

Although he still has heavy artillery under his command, defense is difficult now, and a few more heavy artillery will be of great help to him.

The current situation is that we have to hold out for one more day, especially since we have so many shells!

We can just let go and have a good fight to put down the Japanese's prestige.

Hearing this, Liao Guangyi pulled the corners of his mouth, forced a smile and said: "Commander, this thing can't be avoided, let's talk about business first."

He also wanted to talk to Liao Lei about the follow-up of the Sha Jia Bang group. Now that the person is dead, he has to find a way to deal with it.

"Hey, those are just small things." Liao Lei said indifferently.

He also knew about the Sha Jia Bang incident, but at the moment he was concentrating on defending Changshu, so who would care about such trivial matters?

"Gu kid should have given more than just these things, right? He robbed the Japanese warehouse, and even I was jealous of the supplies."

"You two have such a good relationship, and you've given me a lot of good things. Now that Changshu is struggling to defend, you should give me some."

Liao Lei started robbing.

Liao Guangyi was speechless. He never thought that Liao Lei would actually rob him. He could only argue:

"Commander, Brother Changfeng has already given me four heavy artillery pieces. That's very kind of you. I'll take a little bit of it now."

He felt a little guilty when talking about this, because Gu Changfeng gave him a lot.

Grenade launchers and heavy machine guns are powerful weapons on the battlefield, coupled with Type 38 rifles and large amounts of ammunition.

Liao Lei glanced at Liao Guangyi, knowing what he was thinking, and said with disdain:

"You're so ungrateful! Just give it to me honestly and don't force me to snatch it. With all that heavy firepower, you're planning on hiding it for yourself?"

He had received the news a long time ago. If it weren't for the fierce attack of the Japanese, he would have planned to go directly to the reed marsh to snatch Gu Changfeng yesterday. He was really rich.

However, before he could carry out this plan, the reed marsh was attacked by the Japanese, resulting in heavy losses of supplies and personnel. After receiving the news, he gave up the idea.

"Commander, this is a gift from Changfeng."

Liao Guangyi's expression fell and he said helplessly.

He hated the traitor in the group so much. It was really despicable that he couldn't hide any good things every time!

"Guangyi, you have to put the overall situation first!"

Liao Lei said earnestly.

Liao Guangyi had no choice but to say with a bitter face: "Oh, come on, just take half!"

He was really hurt at this moment.

Liao Lei glared and said, "Is my coming here worth that little?"

"Don't keep the grenade launcher and heavy machine gun. Changshu needs them more. I'll leave the Japanese Type 38 rifle to you."

"Commander, please leave some for us!" Liao Guangyi pleaded like a young wife.

Liao Lei waved his hand and said, "That's it. Don't be so ungrateful, kid."

"Gu kid, you are so capable, why don't you move around more when you have time!"

Liao Guangyi sighed and kept silent.

The main thing is that I feel sad. These weapons were robbed before they even got warm. The saying "a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official" is a true portrayal of him now.

Liao Lei was very happy at this moment. How could he come here just for a few heavy artillery?

Isn’t the Type 92 heavy machine gun a weapon? And the grenade launcher is a powerful weapon on the battlefield. The more you have, the more confidence you have.

"Okay, let's talk about the 115th Regiment in Shajiabang. What exactly happened?"

Liao Lei asked.

When Liao Guangyi heard the question, he immediately became serious.

"Commander, almost all the senior officers of this regiment died in the reed marsh!"

Then he explained the whole thing.

Liao Lei had a headache. Although he was the head of an army, the internal forces of the Kuomintang were complicated and he had no say in many things.

If the person was not dead, there would still be room for maneuver, but now that the person is dead, it’s different!

After a while, Liao Lei dismissed the guards and staff on his left and right and spoke to Liao Guangyi.

"Leave them to me. Don't mention this matter again. I will send them to the battlefield tomorrow."

A look of surprise flashed across Liao Guangyi's face. He glanced at Liao Lei and lowered his head.

"Alright, let's make it like this. Gu is quite useful. I hope he can kill more devils and not let us down!"

Liao Lei said lightly.

Since he has decided to protect Gu Changfeng, he will be responsible for the rest of the matter.

"General, you..." Liao Guangyi wanted to say something.

Liao Lei interrupted directly with a wave of his hand: "Since he eliminated several Japanese battalions and relieved a lot of pressure on us, I have to help him."

Liao Guangyi said gratefully: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of Changfeng!"

"Why do you need to thank me, kid? Tell him later that if he gets something good, remember to think of me."

"Damn it, he's good at fighting the Japs, but he's also pretty good at causing trouble."

Liao Lei was still a little angry when he said this. He was a general, but Gu Changfeng actually gave the things to Liao Guangyi!

Liao Guangyi: “…”

Gu Changfeng, who was far away in the reed marsh, had no idea that Liao Lei would actually send the prisoners directly to the battlefield!

This almost means that Liao Lei has taken over the entire matter. If the news gets out, Liao Lei will definitely be in big trouble!

However, even if Gu Changfeng knew, he didn't care about it. After cleaning up for a whole day, he sorted out the losses and gains.

I'm listening to the report right now.

"Commander Gu, the 4th and 5th companies suffered heavy losses this time. More than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, and the camp supplies were almost destroyed."

Zhao Chong, the temporary quartermaster, said solemnly.

"How much did we gain?" Zhao Ziqing asked.

Zhao Chong shook his head and said, "The Japanese heavy artillery is almost destroyed."

This is also a very sad thing. Under the fierce artillery attack from our side, the Japanese heavy artillery was not intact and could not be used at all.

"Tell me how many personnel and supplies we have left now!" Gu Changfeng said.

Zhao Chong nodded and said, "Including the special forces, the camp currently has 869 personnel."

"No 70mm mortars were lost, 58 grenade launchers, and 1282 Type rifles were recovered."

"The heavy machine guns and the captured 22, and the Type 77 rifles lost and captured were almost equal, totaling ."

Zhao Ziqing said, "Not bad, at least I didn't lose all my money!"

Yang Zhenhua frowned and said, "I don't think there's much ammunition left!"

"This time we went out mainly with the Type 99 rifle and mortar, otherwise we wouldn't have any left."

Zhao Chong echoed, "Captain Yang is right. We have enough ammunition, but we don't have many shells left!"

"With our current artillery reserves, we can only fight a small battle."

Gu Changfeng sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Although we haven't been out for long this time, we've gained a lot and learned a lot. We should all reflect on this."

"Let me tell you what I'm going to do next."

"Let the brothers conduct some reconnaissance tomorrow and, if possible, rob some weapons and ammunition."

"If not, then evacuate immediately and go to Jinling and wait!"

There are only a few days left before the end of the Changshu Defense War. If there is no opportunity, Gu Changfeng wants to retreat directly to Jinling for reorganization.

There are still many problems with the team, and this is the key point.
