Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

By the 20th, the Japanese attack on Changshu became more and more fierce.

Gu Changfeng personally went into battle and investigated many times, but he really couldn't find any opportunity, so he had to order an evacuation.

After sending a farewell telegram to Liao Guangyi, Gu Changfeng led the team and set off for Chuzhou on the evening of the 20th.

Zhou Qianli was stationed in Chuzhou, more than a hundred miles away from Jinling, so Gu Changfeng had to go and meet him first.

"Changfeng, how long do you think Commander Liao and his men can hold out?"

Zhao Ziqing was bored and started looking for a topic.

"It should be just these few days. They have bought enough time."

The defense of Changshu has been going on for more than a week.

In fact, if it weren't for Gu Changfeng's previous reminder and the supporting heavy artillery, Changshu would have fallen yesterday.

Zhao Ziqing suddenly sighed and said, "I'm sorry to come to Changshu this time!"

"Although the spoils are good, our brothers have also suffered heavy losses. It's really not worth it."

Gu Changfeng glanced at Zhao Ziqing and said, "You're just trying to make conversation, aren't you? Why don't you tell me how many battalions of Japanese soldiers we wiped out?"

"Hehe, that's true. The Japs wiped out an entire regiment for us this time, plus the Japs at Baimaokou."

"Conservatively speaking, there are 4,000 to 5,000 devils. That's not bad at all."

Zhao Ziqing chuckled.

"In fact, if the Japanese hadn't taken advantage of this, our harvest would have been enough to satisfy the new income of Lao Zhou."

Liu Dazhuang interjected.

"Well, Lao Zhou did a great job this time. He actually managed to recruit over a thousand people. That's pretty good."

Overall, Gu Changfeng was quite satisfied with this division of troops, except for the attack on the reed marsh.

"Speaking of this, what should we do if we don't have enough weapons?" Zhao Ziqing asked.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "I'll take care of this matter and give you a surprise when the time comes."

He was very happy when talking about this. The system was updated for a week, and it actually gave him a surprise after the update was completed.

The first is to kill a Japanese soldier to double your points, and the second is to kill from Qingpu City to Changshu City.

Now that I have enough points, I can definitely play with some heavy firepower.

When Zhao Ziqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Gu Changfeng and said.

"Do you have a sniper rifle? Or a rocket launcher would be fine too. That thing is good for dealing with Japanese tanks."

Liu Dazhuang said happily: "Yes, Changfeng, we must prepare some goodies and bullets for the big guns when we go to Jinling this time."

What he cares most about is the Barrett in his hand.

After several major battles, the bullets were almost exhausted. If there was no replenishment, he would have no choice but to use the Japanese's Type 38 rifle.

It was extremely uncomfortable for him who was used to big guns.

"Don't worry, I have to be prepared even for this battle in Jinling."

"Let's go to Chuzhou to rest first. I'll go out later, so it will probably take a while."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said that he would have to think carefully about what kind of weapons to use this time to face the defense of Nanjing.

"How about I lead the team back? You can go get the weapons now."

Zhao Ziqing said jokingly.

He knew that Gu Changfeng had some secrets that he had never revealed, but everyone was fighting the Japanese together.

Just enjoy it yourself, there is no need to get into the details.

"Fuck you, this thing can't be rushed, it takes no time!"

Gu Changfeng was quite speechless. This had caught up with others.

"By the way, Changfeng, why did you just let those people who led the way in Reed Marsh go? It was too easy for them!"

Liu Dazhuang suddenly remembered this and said with some indignation.

He followed the special forces, but instead of winning the battle, he saved the family of the civilian who led the way.

He regretted this very much. If he had known this earlier, he would have just ignored it and let those people fend for themselves.

"What can ordinary people do in such a chaotic world? We are at the mercy of others."

"The wives and children were in the hands of the devils, so they had no choice but to obey."

Gu Changfeng understood the plight of these people very well, and he did not blame those people.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about how to arrange things in Jinling."

Zhao Ziqing interrupted and said that it really didn't matter to him whether to release the people or not, the next battlefield was the key point.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and then said, "Organize the team. There are too many new soldiers joining, even though Lao Zhou also recruited veterans."

"But the problem now is that they are not familiar with our combat methods, and this needs to be taken into consideration."

"Here's what I'm thinking: First, select some soldiers with good marksmanship and focus on training them as snipers."

"Secondly, the selection and training of special forces personnel must also be carried out at the same time."

"Third, set up an artillery camp. I will bring a lot of good stuff with me when I go out. This is also the top priority."

Gu Changfeng looked at Zhao Ziqing and continued.

"The selection of special forces members and sniper training will be left to you."

Liu Dazhuang raised his hand and said, "Sniper training, I'll cooperate with Lao Zhao on this!"

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "That's fine. The Japanese won't give us too much time. You probably have about one Sunday."

"It must be completed within this time, otherwise we will be forced to go to the battlefield, and the result will be heavy casualties like before."

"I don't want to see huge casualties this time."

If the Japanese were not affected, the Battle of Nanjing would have begun on the 1st day.

But it is hard to say now. The defense battle of Changshu is still going on. This line is blocked by the two army commanders Liao Lei and Luo Zhuoying. The Japanese plan to encircle Nanjing is likely to be delayed.

"No problem, leave that to us. As for supplies, how are we going to feed and drink over 2,000 people?"

"All the money we collected this time was given to Captain Liao. Old Zhou is probably in trouble too."

Zhao Ziqing raised a new question.

This problem also gave Gu Changfeng a headache, as he didn't know how to turn food into food.

With more than 2,000 people, feeding and drinking them for nearly a month is a big problem.

"I'll figure out a way to do this. If that doesn't work, we'll lead the team out to rob the devils."

There is no such thing as food in Gu Changfeng's system, otherwise he could exchange some.

Five days passed in a flash. After a rapid march, traveling at night and hiding during the day, Gu Changfeng and his party finally arrived in Chuzhou, more than 140 miles away from Jinling.

When he saw Gu Changfeng and his group, Zhou Qianli felt like he had found his backbone and smiled at everyone.

"Welcome home, all the heroes."

"Old Zhou, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. You look much better!"

Zhao Ziqing teased.

Indeed, after resting here for such a long time, Zhou Qianli looked much better and his face looked more rosy.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, how great it is for you guys to fight the Japanese at the front."

"We're just sitting there waiting, but next time we can't do that. We have to go on stage too."

Huang Zhengkui was still a little unhappy at this moment.

The two sides communicated via telegram every day, and he had been itching to fight the Japanese since he heard his brothers fighting the Japanese.

Gu Changfeng said, "Don't worry, your injury has healed, and you will definitely have a share next time!"

"The Jinling battlefield is about to begin. Are you still worried about not having any enemies to fight against?"

Huang Zhengkui smiled foolishly and said, "That's great, I'll wait for them!"

Gu Changfeng shook his head and didn't want to scold him.

Could it be a good thing for the Japanese to invade Nanjing?
