Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

After Lu Daya left, Zhou Qianli asked doubtfully, "Changfeng, what are the arrangements you mentioned?"

Gu Changfeng stood up, went out to pull Liu Dazhuang over, asked him to guard the door, and then went back into the tent.

Zhou Qianli was even more confused. What was this for?

Fortunately, Gu Changfeng didn't let him wait and spoke directly.

"While the brothers are recovering from their injuries, have them prepare as many small boats as possible."

"One is placed near Pukou, and the other is in Chu County. It's best to hide them in a secret place so that no one can steal them."

"Why?" Zhou Qianli blurted out the question.

"Haha! It's better to be prepared. Let's get ready first, brothers."

"I still have over 10,000 French francs here, let them use them."

"By the way, it would be even better if we could find some doctors to follow us."

Gu Changfeng took out a stack of French currency from his clothes. He didn't explain the matter directly. Anyway, it would be better to be prepared for this matter.

Firstly, he is no longer in the ranks of the National Army, and secondly, there are few personnel. He certainly cannot influence the overall situation, so he can only do his best.

Zhou Qianli took the French currency and rubbed it, then looked up at Gu Changfeng. After thinking for a while, he still didn't ask.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Let's take a break first. We'll go out and cause trouble for the Japs tomorrow."

After a busy night, he is now a little sleepy.

When he came out of the tent, he saw a few little guys chatting, so Gu Changfeng walked over and asked.

"Some uncles are leaving for Jinling today, and I have arranged for you to go together."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Cheng suddenly became anxious: "Sir, I won't go. I want to stay and fight the devils."

Fang Yi also said: "Brother is right, we should stay."

Gu Changfeng asked, "It's fine for you to fight the Japanese, but what about Yufen?"

"We're about to evacuate, there's no way she's going to follow us around."

Fang Cheng thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Yi and said, "Second brother, you take my sister with you, and I'll stay."

Fang Yi immediately stopped and the two of them started fighting with each other again.

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. The war is still early. There is no rush to fight the Japanese."

"Just let Fang Cheng follow. Fang Yi and Yu Fen will go to Jinling to wait for us first. We will gather here soon."

Fang Yi agreed, "Yes, second brother, you take your sister first, and we will come over later."

Seeing that both of them said so, Fang Yi had no choice but to agree, and then the two of them started whispering to each other.

At noon, the group had lunch and then set off.

Lu Daya sent them out of the camp and gave them a few more instructions before letting them leave.

.........

On October 21st, everyone got up before dawn.

"Changfeng, where are we going today?" Huang Zhengkui asked.

He is almost out of ideas now. Anyway, as long as he follows Gu Changfeng and Zhou Qianli, with these two around, he only needs to fight the Japanese.

"We should be south of Dachang Town now. Let's head northwest of Dachang Town today."

Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

Zhou Qianli said: "Okay, let's go."

No one had any objection to this matter. After all, we had agreed yesterday to just attack small groups of Japanese and not go to the center of the battlefield. Normally, they would not pose a big threat.

The group set off while the early morning fog was still there.

Halfway through the journey, they encountered a group of defeated soldiers. They ignored Gu Changfeng and his group and just left.

A few people were a little nervous at first. After waiting for a while, they saw that there were no pursuers and looked at each other in confusion.

Huang Zhengkui shook his head and said, "This incident really scared me."

Lu Daya laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Look at these fleeing soldiers, there are only a few hundred of them. Even if there are Japanese devils, they are unlikely to send a large force to chase us!"

Zhou Qianli gave a bitter smile and said, "Let's keep going. I guess another unit has been crippled."

The group continued walking for another half an hour before they saw a village in the distance. It was at the foot of a small hill and was quite large.

Zhou Qianli looked through the telescope for a while and said, "Changfeng, there are Japanese guards. Should we get closer to take a look?"

Gu Changfeng said directly: "Let's go!"

Ten minutes later, everyone stopped at a small forest seven or eight miles outside the village and looked around for a while.

Zhou Qianli's expression changed instantly, and he said angrily: "These damned little devils."

"Batalion Commander, what's wrong?"

"Yeah! What happened?"

The two company commanders asked one after another.

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, take cover, quickly."

His face didn't look good either, he was really angry!

He simply gave the telescope to Huang Zhengkui and let him look at it himself.

"Damn it! The damn Japs actually used villagers to practice! Damn it!"

After reading it, Huang Zhengkui's face turned red with anger.

"Changfeng, we can't wait until night."

Zhou Qianli said with a gloomy face, the Japanese devils are so brutal, this matter cannot be tolerated, we must fight.

Gu Changfeng naturally knew what it meant. If the Japanese really continued to kill, all the civilians would be dead by nightfall!

"It's 8:30 AM now. Get ready. The fight will start in 20 minutes."

"Da Zhuang and I will snipe their machine gunner first. Brother Huang, you two will then directly seize the Japanese defensive fortifications."

Huang Zhengkui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this time I'm going to teach these little devils a lesson!"

Gu Changfeng looked at Lu Daya and Zhou Qianli again.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Lu, we will fight first. You lead the second company to attack the Japanese from the rear."

Zhou Qianli nodded and said, "That's no problem, but the artillery team has to give it to us."

This time is different. We will attack the Japanese firepower point from behind. Using a cannon is definitely better than a gun!

Gu Changfeng said directly: "We'll give you the grenade launchers, and we'll just keep the mortars."

There are a total of more than ten grenade launchers. This artillery squad should be renamed. The firepower is better than that of ordinary battalion-level troops.

Of course, it is hard to say about the quality of the artillery. They are forced to do it, and most of them have poor accuracy.

Zhou Qianli had no objection, and the two of them went straight to assemble the team.

There are still about 160 people left on Gu Changfeng's side.

Twenty minutes had already passed by the time we had to wait for the line to form.

"Set off."

Gu Changfeng gave an order and everyone bent over and ran towards the village entrance.

"Stupid Chinese, they actually charged towards us, haha!"

The Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the village seemed to have seen the biggest joke in the world. There were only dozens of soldiers guarding their side.

There are still five heavy machine guns, and the Chinese still dare to charge. How stupid is that?

"Report this to the Colonel. Perhaps if he's pleased, we can give more to the Chinese people."

"Ha ha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Japanese soldiers at the village entrance burst into laughter.

Because it is a plain area and there are farmlands on both sides of the road, it is difficult to hide.

Gu Changfeng didn't care and continued running towards the village entrance.

Wuli away, the Japanese have defensive fortifications and it is impossible for them to come out to fight, so they can attack with confidence.

Huang Zhengkui had a solemn expression on his face, holding a light machine gun in his hand and a rifle on his waist, and rushed towards the village entrance with all his might.

The firepower squad followed closely beside him.
