Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

When we got back to Yongning Village, it was just lunch time.

When Zhou Qianli saw Gu Changfeng bringing back so many people, he immediately smiled and invited everyone to eat together.

Then he pulled Gu Changfeng aside and asked, "Where did you abduct them from? They are all from the Central Army."

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't even think about targeting them. It's probably going to be difficult to get them."

Although he didn't know this Tuanfu Xie, he was a mid-level general of the Guo Party after all. What could he get by following him?

Zhou Qianli's expression suddenly changed, and he said unhappily, "If you can't get it, why bring it here?"

The camp is short of people now, and he really doesn't understand what Gu Changfeng means.

Gu Changfeng said: "These people are national heroes, don't underestimate them."

After saying this, he explained the whole thing, which made Zhou Qianli change his mind. He ran over to greet him with a smile.

Xie Jinyuan reluctantly agreed, but his eyes were always observing the soldiers' mental state and the weapons placed aside.

After the meal, Xie Jinyuan pulled Gu Changfeng over and said awkwardly, "Brother Changfeng, you said before that you have some surplus weapons. Can you support us with some?"

Gu Changfeng smiled and asked, "You really don't plan to stay with us? You know, the principal has no intention of saving you. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to go back?"

"I won't stay, but I can ask the brothers for you."

Xie Jinyuan thought about this issue and was a little hesitant at first, but in the end, the desire to defend his country overcame his dissatisfaction.

However, he knew that his soldiers had many complaints, so he planned to ask them on Gu Changfeng's behalf, and it would be fine if they were willing to stay.

Gu Changfeng said: "Okay! We can provide weapons and bullets, but we don't have machine guns or anything like that!"

"As long as we have weapons, we can also rob the Japanese of their heavy weapons!" said Xie Jinyuan.

Gu Changfeng was amused. This Guo Junjun deputy was not such a conservative person.

"Let's go. I'll take you to get your weapons first. We should retreat today."

After a while, Gu Changfeng asked Wan Chenghai to move out the weapons and directly distribute them to the soldiers of the 524th Regiment.

After receiving the weapons, Xie Jinyuan said to the soldiers.

"I know that this withdrawal from the Sihang Warehouse has displeased many of you."

"Now, I'll give you all a chance. If you want to stay in the Changfeng team, you can step out now."

"We're all on the same team fighting the Japanese anyway, there's no difference, don't feel any psychological burden!"

After saying this, all the soldiers looked at each other and then began to whisper.

Yang Ruifu looked at his regiment commander in shock and said, "Is this..."

Xie Jinyuan interrupted, "It depends on what you guys think! If it weren't for Changfeng, we would have really become prisoners of war."

He later figured it out and realized that if he really wanted to release them, he would not have locked them up at all.

They should be handed over directly to the Guo Party.

Yang Ruifu moved his lips a few times, and finally sighed and said, "Then it depends on what the brothers choose!"

"Commander-in-Chief, the brothers have discussed it and we are all willing to follow you!"

More than ten minutes later, the noise disappeared and the soldiers looked at Xie Jinyuan with firm eyes!

Xie Jinyuan smiled and said to the soldiers, "Okay, okay, since you brothers are willing to continue to follow me, let's fight the devils together."

"Brother Changfeng's kindness can only be repaid later."

Gu Changfeng witnessed the whole process and respected the soldiers' choice, so he didn't say anything deceptive.

Instead, he whispered a few words to Wan Chenghai.

Then he pulled out the pistol from his waist and said to Xie Jinyuan, "My ability is limited now. This is the turtle box captured from the Japanese. I'm giving it to Brother Xie."

Xie Jinyuan took it and started playing with it: "This is a good thing, are you so willing to give it away?"

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "This is not a good thing, it's just a pistol."

Xie Jinyuan smiled and said, "That's right. You are a landlord, so I will obey your orders."

Gu Changfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I have no shortage of weapons, but I lack people. Give Brother Xie some more weapons!"

He still decided to send some heavy weapons to Xie Jinyuan.

The Battle of Shanghai has been going on for a long time and all the armies are short of weapons. It is still another matter whether Xie Jinyuan and his men can get weapons when they return.

Give the Buddha a try, just be generous.

Just as Xie Jinyuan was about to ask, he saw Wan Chenghai and his men bringing in two heavy machine guns, four light machine guns, four grenade launchers, as well as bullets and artillery shells.

Suddenly I didn't know what to say.

They have been very generous in supporting weapons and ammunition, and now they are even giving them heavy weapons!

Gu Changfeng looked at the moved Xie Jinyuan and said, "Keep it! Return it to me when you have the chance. Fight more Japanese invaders, haha!"

Xie Jinyuan nodded heavily. It was indeed easier to fight the Japanese with heavy weapons, and he couldn't refuse on behalf of his brothers.

"Okay, Brother Xie, it's time for me to evacuate. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We'll see you on the battlefield." Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of my brothers! See you again sometime."

Xie Jinyuan knew that Gu Changfeng and his group were going to Jinling, so the chance of meeting them was still very high.

.........

After bidding farewell to the village chief and giving him some money, Gu Changfeng led his team on the road to Jinling amid the villagers' constant thanks.

Walking along the railway line, a group of people looked very excited.

Huang Zhengkui asked with a smile: "Changfeng, everyone has had a good rest recently, where are we going to fight next?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. If there are any defeated soldiers, we can gather some of them."

Gu Changfeng said this and looked at Zhao Ziqing again: "By the way, Lao Zhao, maybe we can borrow your identity as a member of the Central Army."

Zhao Ziqing immediately understood what he meant and said with a wry smile, "There's no problem with our identity, but our previous designation has probably been cancelled."

Gu Changfeng wanted to borrow his identity and trick some defeated soldiers into coming in. As for weapons, the Japanese could just rob them.

If he remembered correctly, the Japanese 6th Division was also heading in this direction.

He still has to avoid it. He only has one camp and he won't do anything like hitting a stone with an egg.

Early the next morning, the group had not set off for long when they heard faint sounds of cannon fire.

"Let's go to the riverside and take a look." After listening for a while, Gu Changfeng immediately gave the order.

On the riverside, seven or eight hundred defeated Kuomintang soldiers were blocked in a dock by a squadron of Japanese devils and could not move forward or backward.

The dock was dilapidated and had obviously been abandoned long ago.

The Kuomintang soldiers relied on the dilapidated buildings and fought back with difficulty, and from time to time some of them fell in a pool of blood.

Under the bombardment of Japanese artillery shells, the entire dock was in danger.

Wooden houses do not provide much protection for soldiers.

"Company Commander, let's rush out and fight the devils!"

A soldier shouted anxiously.

"Okay, brothers, let's fight the devils today. Killing one will cover our losses, and killing two will make us a profit."

"If anyone can get out alive, we must kill that bastard Wu Desheng!"

The Wu Desheng the man was talking about was their leader.

Before the fight even started, he ran away with his guard regiment.

They had been caught by the Japanese and had no choice but to stay and resist. In the end, they were forced to the dock.
