Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Sakai's idea was completely wrong. Gu Changfeng had already made a big fuss here, so how could he stay and get beaten?

After finding Zhou Qianli and meeting him overnight, he set off in the middle of the night and headed for Wu County.

As for Wang Yaowu and his group in Qingpu City, Gu Changfeng had already done his best and there was nothing he could do to help.

He would not do that unless he gambled all his fortune.

So everyone just hid near Wu County and rested for an afternoon. In the evening, the group continued their journey.

On the other hand, the Sakai Regiment, after replenishing its ammunition overnight, finally launched a general attack on Qingpu City.

After a whole day of hard resistance, Wang Yaowu's troops were finally defeated in the city and had no choice but to lead their troops to withdraw.

Fortunately, the mission had been completed, and he received a transfer order to go directly to Jinling City for garrison.

As for Ichiro Sakai.

Gu Changfeng and his group hated the air squadron so much that they completely lost track of it. After bombing several villages, they had no choice but to return.

The small team sent by Sakai did find their way near Dianshan Lake, but there were many waterways there and it was impossible to find the direction, so they had to give up in the end.

.........

"Changfeng, where should we attack next?" Zhao Ziqing asked excitedly.

He is still thinking about yesterday's battle. It was such a wonderful feeling.

Liu Dazhuang also came over and asked, "Should we go and take down the Japs again? We had such a great time fighting them this time!"

The conversation between the few people attracted Zhou Qianli, who smiled and said, "Changfeng, tell me, where are we going next?"

Gu Changfeng thought seriously for a while and said, "If you want to take a risk, you can go to Changshu, get some Japanese weapons and run away."

"If we don't want to take risks, let's go directly to Jinling to wait for the devils and make some arrangements."

"By the way, Lao Zhou, how is the matter I arranged in Jinling going now?"

We took out so much money and asked the wounded soldiers to prepare things.

He thought he would go to Nanjing soon, but he didn't expect that fighting here and there would delay him for so long, and he didn't know whether those soldiers were still there.

"I thought you forgot. Don't worry, everything is ready. Those brothers were still asking about it a few days ago."

"After hearing that we killed so many devils, they said they wanted to come over and join us, but I stopped them."

Zhou Qianli said with a smile.

The wounded soldiers in Jinling also had radios. The only one seized before was given to them. Only after another one was seized later did Zhou Qianli contact them.

Gu Changfeng felt relieved after hearing this. The boat could be very useful and might even save lives, so he had made preparations early on near Jinling.

"Team, Changfeng, do you want to go to Changshu? The Japanese have also invaded there?" Zhou Qianli asked curiously.

This matter had not been reported to him, and he was very curious about how Gu Changfeng knew about it.

"Old Zhou, you don't know this. The Japanese Shigeto Detachment and the 16th Division are all on the Yangtze River. Do you think they're just playing around?"

"We must attack from Changshu and Wuxi, with the ultimate goal of capturing the capital, Nanjing."

Gu Changfeng explained.

Zhou Qianli pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point. The Japanese are ambitious and it is very likely that they will use the fall of the capital to force those with weak wills to surrender."

Seeing that the topic of surrender came up, Zhao Ziqing could not help but snort coldly and said, "I once secretly went to Peking. You have no idea how many white dogs there are."

Gu Changfeng said coldly: "From now on, any white dogs stained with blood and acting as accomplices to the evil will be killed. If they are not reformed directly, let them die on the battlefield!"

He had to explain it clearly. You have to know how many white dogs were cleared out when the Japanese surrendered.

That number is more than the total number of Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Since there was no one to supervise them, it was up to them to decide.

"Everyone, make a decision now. Should we go to Changshu or go directly to Jinling? Otherwise, ask Lao Wan to come over and see how much we can gain this time." Gu Changfeng said.

Zhou Qianli said: "I know this. Lao Wan reported it before."

When this topic came up, everyone became interested and came over.

Zhou Qianli didn't hesitate and said directly:

"Now, including the captured and lost items, we have 63 grenade launchers, 58 Type 28 rifles, 1789 heavy machine guns, 175 Type rifles, and Nambu pistols."

"Not to mention the helmets and bullets, there are a lot of them."

After he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Gu Changfeng was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "We wiped out at least two Japanese battalions this time, so it's normal to get these."

There are mainly a few people on the battlefield, and they are mainly fighting grenadiers and machine gunners. It is normal that there are many heavy machine guns and Type 99 light machine guns.

Zhao Ziqing said: "The Japanese squadron that transported the supplies, plus the Japanese regiment that came last night, there are probably more than that."

Gu Changfeng suddenly thought that the system upgrade might be related to this. He didn't hear any prompts and felt a little puzzled.

"Don't be happy too soon." Zhou Qianli interrupted everyone.

"We have ammunition, but we're out of mortar shells."

These words poured cold water on everyone. To be honest, if Lu Daya had not destroyed the Japanese mountain artillery, their casualties would have been even greater, and it would not have been so easy to eliminate these Japanese devils.

In addition, Li Jie also made great contributions. Under the suppression of the rocket launcher, he basically solved all the problems that Gu Changfeng and others had not taken care of.

In the end, they even destroyed the Japanese tanks.

"We should have seized a lot of grenades." Gu Changfeng asked curiously when he saw that Zhou Qianli had not mentioned this.

Zhou Qianli nodded and said, "That's quite a lot, and there are also quite a few grenade launcher shells."

"Well, what's the big deal? Even if we don't have rocket launchers and mortars, can't we fight?" Zhao Ziqing said indifferently.

"That's not right. We are now fighting against a large group of Japanese enemies. If we don't have good weapons, we will be the ones who suffer." Lu Daya said seriously. He had been silent just now, but now he spoke out to refute when he heard this topic.

Gu Changfeng said, "That's not wrong, but let's talk about it. Should we go to Changshu or Jinling? Let's vote by raising our hands."

"Those going to Jinling, raise your hands."

Gu Changfeng looked around and saw that no one was moving. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You guys are addicted to fighting."

"Haha."

Everyone laughed. After such a big battle, everyone's morale was lifted. Although they didn't want to attack Qingpu City, they could still go to other places.

Gu Changfeng also considered that if the Japanese targeted them, it would be very troublesome to send a brigade or a reorganized regiment directly.

It would be better to go and cause trouble for the Japanese somewhere else.

Zhou Qianli suddenly said, "Changfeng's previous prediction was very accurate. I think we should gather some more troops if we have the chance, otherwise it will definitely be another fierce battle when we reach Jinling City."

"We have no shortage of weapons, and we can go and rob them. The big problem is manpower."

"This time we had more than 1600 people, to casualties, and the loss was more than one-third."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Everyone was heartbroken that one-third of their family assets were lost. Before Zhou Qianli said anything, everyone pretended not to know.

It feels different now that I'm saying it out loud and showing it nakedly in front of everyone.

"Actually, that's not what I meant." Zhou Qianli explained.

"What I mean is that we can split up. You go and rob the Japanese of their weapons, and I'll find a way to gather the defeated soldiers. We can both do this without any delay."

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and agreed: "Old Zhou's suggestion is good, let's do it."

"This time, the defense mission is assigned to the first company. Lao Huang is recovering from his injuries and is also responsible for security issues."

"Leave the artillery company behind. I'll try to get some more grenades and other items later."

Lu Daya smiled and said, "That's great, it's settled."

"Don't worry, we will definitely put together a team."

Gu Changfeng nodded: "Then it's settled. Organize the 2nd, 3rd and 4th companies to prepare for departure."

Their original destination was Wuxi heading to Jinling, but if they changed their route now, they could just go directly to Changshu.

Half an hour later, the group set off in formation. Huang Zhengkui, who was left behind, kept clamoring to go with them. Finally, after much persuasion, he agreed to stay.

Walking on the road to Changshu, Zhao Ziqing said excitedly.

"Let's see which devil gets hurt this time, haha."

A cold light flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes. The Japanese Shigeto Detachment was also guilty of a lot of crimes. It would be nice to have a chance to deal with them...
