Ouyang Feilong set the time on his time-travel watch to 12:00:00 on November 5, 1937, and set the location to the south gate of Songjiang County, Shanghai. Fei Long used his right thumb to press the " Transmigration " button. Fei Long instantly appeared at the southern gate of Song Jiang County at the speed of a rocket.
At the southern gate of Songjiang County, the security captain Wang Gongyu was instructing his team members to step up the construction of underground fortifications. The team members were busy and sweating. They did not have time to eat and had to build the fortifications as soon as possible. Everyone knew that the Japanese army had landed at Jinshanwei, and the right-wing army's commander-in-chief, Huang Qixiang, had given the security captain Wang Gongyu a warrant to defend Songjiang County for three days. Therefore, Captain Wang did not dare to slack off. He was also looking forward to the arrival of Commander Wu Keren. It was difficult to resist the Japanese attack with only a few hundred security guards.
Wang Gongyu was busy directing the construction when he suddenly looked up and saw a flash of light in the sky. A man who looked like a soldier was walking toward him. Captain Wang walked over to him, but Ouyang Feilong spoke first,""Hello, Captain Wang. Thank you for your hard work!"
" You are..." Captain Wang was very surprised.
"My name is Ouyang Feilong. I'm here to help you.”Fei Long explained.
"Are you a deserter?" Captain Wang was a little suspicious.
"I'm from the future. I hate the Japanese, so I traveled through history to experience life here.”Fei Long said honestly.
"Unbelievable, then why are you wearing the uniform of the 62nd Division?”Captain Wang asked.
"It's a long story. I just experienced a few days of landing in Hangzhou Bay and the 367th Regiment's blocking battle. I didn't have time to take off this military uniform, so I couldn't wait to cross here. I was eager to experience the Song Jiang defense battle.”Fei Long spoke frankly.
"In that case, I'll believe you for the time being. You said that you came from the future, so you must know everything. Tell me, when will Commander Wu arrive? And could Song Jiang County hold on for three days?”Captain Wang was skeptical.
"Commander Wu will arrive this evening. The mission of holding the fort for three days will definitely be completed.”Fei Long was very confident because he was familiar with history.
"Since you're so sure, let's wait and see! Go to the command center and rest!" Captain Wang suggested.
"No, I want to work with you. Since I want to experience life, I have to experience it in all aspects.”Fei Long objected.
"Alright, go and transport the soil. Move the soil from the tunnel to the outside and build a bunker.”
"Yes, sir!" Fei Long agreed and started working.
After receiving the order from Huang Qixiang, the commander of the 67th Army, Wu Keren, took the deputy commander He Kui and the chief of staff Wu Tonggang to jump into the military jeep and rushed to Song Jiang County.
The road was full of potholes, and the jeep was shaking. The people in the car felt like they were dancing, but Military Commander Wu couldn't care less about that. He stepped on the accelerator and sped along the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway.
On the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway, pedestrians could be seen rushing on their way from time to time. Perhaps they were refugees evacuated from Shanghai. When Commander Wu saw this scene, he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy. If the Japanese army occupied Songjiang County first, the consequences would be unimaginable. Commander Wu unconsciously stepped on the accelerator.
After a few hours of fast driving, Military Commander Wu and his party finally arrived at the north gate of Song Jiang County. At this time, the sun was already setting in the west. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Song Jiang County was so solemn. It was like an old man who stood quietly and waited for all the suffering that was about to happen. Guo Rudong, the commander of the 43rd Division, was already waiting for Commander Wu at the north gate.
Military Commander Wu and his entourage got out of the jeep one after another. Military Commander Guo went up to them with a smile on his face."Welcome, welcome. The three of you have worked hard!”They shook hands. Military Commander Wu looked ashamed." Military Commander Guo arrived a step earlier than us. Your 43rd division is extremely brave. The task of defending Song Jiang depends on you."”
Military Commander Guo said honestly," No, no. My 43rd division has basically been wiped out. There are only a few hundred men left. Look at the rest of my brothers. Most of them are injured, and the guns they use are all scrap metal. I'm ashamed!”
As Commander Guo spoke, he pointed at the soldiers guarding the city and the few brothers guarding the city gate. Commander Wu said politely,"Doesn't this prove that you are extremely brave?”
"No, no!" Commander Guo said modestly.”He could not help but look behind the car and ask,"Didn't your 107th and 108th divisions come?”
Commander Wu quickly explained," Due to time constraints, the three of us will arrive by car first. The 107th and 108th Divisions will arrive on foot.”
"Then let's go to the city defense command center to discuss the defense plan.”Commander Guo suggested.
"Alright, please!" Commander Wu agreed.
The Songjiang County City Defense Command was located in the office of the security team. It was temporarily set up by the security team leader Wang Gongyu to unify the armed forces of Songjiang County.
Military Commander Guo, Military Commander Wu, and the rest came to the front of the command center. The security guard on duty blocked their way. After saluting, he said,"Please show your identification!" After checking the documents, the security guard said,"Officers, please take a break in the command center. I'll call Captain Wang back!”
Wang Gongyu rushed to the headquarters from the south gate and said breathlessly,""Commander Wu, Commander Guo, Deputy Commander He, Chief of Staff Wu, you've worked hard! The people of Song Jiang have long been looking forward to your arrival. The people of Song Jiang are saved. I'm setting up fortifications at the south gate. I didn't welcome you. Please forgive me, forgive me..."
Military Commander Wu interrupted him and said,"Please sit down. I'll read out the warrant from Huang Qixiang, the acting commander-in-chief." He ordered the 67th Army, 43rd Army, and Song Jiang Security Brigade to defend Song Jiang County for three days. Those who violated the military law would be severely punished. Why did they have to defend for three days? Presumably, everyone knew that the battlefield in Shanghai was in danger. A large number of allies and people who retreated from Shanghai needed to be covered. If Song Jiang was occupied by the Japanese army, then the retreat route from Shanghai would be cut off, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Now that the situation was tense, there was no need to be polite. Everyone put forward their valuable opinions on how to defend Song Jiang for three days. Captain Wang, you are more familiar with Song Jiang. Tell me first!”
Wang Gongyu analyzed calmly." Although fortifications have been set up in Song Jiang City, we have to hold on for three days. We should place the main force outside the city. If the position outside the city can hold on for two days, retreat to the city and hold on for another day, the mission should be completed.”
"How many people do you have in your security team?" asked Chief of Staff Wu Tonggang.”
"There are only a few hundred people left. Most of the people I trained have been transferred to support the Shanghai battlefield.”Captain Wang replied.
"My 43rd division has basically been wiped out, with only 600 people left. However, if there is a need, we will not decline!”Commander Guo said, a little ashamed.
Commander Wu thought for a moment and said,""In that case, I'll have to trouble the two of you to defend the city. The 67th division will be in charge of the defense outside the city. The specific tasks are as follows: Commander Guo, leave a small portion of your troops to defend the north gate. The main force will cooperate with Captain Wang to defend the south gate. The 107th Division of the 67th Division will defend the east gate and the positions outside the east gate. The 108th Division will defend the west gate and the positions outside the west gate. If there are no objections, let's split up!”
Commander Guo and Captain Wang replied in unison,""Yes, sir!" They left the command post one by one and went straight to the defense area, throwing themselves into the tense defense.
Commander Wu turned around and instructed Deputy Commander He,""Go outside the city and see if the 107th and 108th divisions have arrived yet.”
"Yes, sir!" Deputy Commander He agreed and turned to leave the command post.
Chief of Staff Wu said to Commander Wu worriedly,""The enemy will mainly attack Song Jiang from the east, south, east, and west. I am more assured that the 67th Army will defend the east and west. However, can Wang Gongyu, who only has a few hundred people, defend the south gate?”
" Wang Gongyu has been operating in Songjiang County," Commander Wu said confidently." It is said that he has built underground fortifications at the south gate and dug many tunnels. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be very difficult for the Japanese army to break through the south gate.”
"Let's go and inspect the south gate, shall we?" Chief Wu suggested.”Commander Wu thought it was necessary and said decisively,""Good! Let's go!" With that, he strode out of the command center and headed straight for the south gate.
As night fell, it was dark outside the city, but Song Jiang County was brightly lit. The soldiers lit the torches and stepped up the construction and reinforcement of the city defense.
Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wu arrived at the south gate. Seeing how hard the security guards were working, Commander Wu shouted,""Comrades, you've worked hard!" When the security guards saw that Commander Wu had personally come to inspect the fortifications, they were filled with excitement and touched. They also replied affectionately,"Sir, you've worked hard!"
Wang Gongyu saw Commander Wu and ran over quickly, saying,""Military Commander Wu, Chief of Staff Wu, you have just arrived at Song Jiang County. You haven't rested for a long time before coming to inspect. It's really admirable. Leave this to me. You can rest assured that there are strong fortifications outside the south gate. There are tunnels in all directions in the south gate. If any enemy dares to attack the south gate, they will not be able to return!”
Military Commander Wu explained sincerely," Brother Wang, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's my habit to do things myself. I try my best to do everything myself, especially important things. I'll only be at ease if I see it with my own eyes. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night."”
Chief of Staff Wu echoed," Yes, Captain Wang. This is a habit that Commander Wu has formed over the years. Everyone in the Northeast Army knows about this. Please don't take offense!”
Military Commander Wu caught a glimpse of a burly young man who was working hard to move the soil, and he was wearing an unusual uniform. He asked Wang Gongyu curiously,""Brother Wang, who is that?"
Captain Wang explained," His name is Ouyang Feilong. He's from the 62nd Division. He's actually from the future. It's said that he has unique skills and knows everything. He's a strange person!”
Military Commander Wu was confused." What do you mean? He's from the 62nd Division and also from the future?"”
Captain Wang patiently explained," The science of the future world is developed. They invented the time and space travel machine. Some people traveled to our era to experience history. Brother Fei Long is such a person who traveled through time. He has experienced the Hangzhou Bay landing battle and the 367th Regiment's blocking battle. This time, he came to Song Jiang to experience the Song Jiang defense battle. Don't you think this person is strange?”
Military Commander Wu sighed." I quite admire him. People in the future will definitely live a peaceful and comfortable life. However, he abandoned the comfortable life and was willing to risk his life to experience war. He is a man full of justice and courage. Alright, call him over. I want to know him.”
Wang Gongyu ran over and called Ouyang Feilong to Commander Wu's side. Commander Wu gave him a thumbs up and praised,""Brother Fei Long, good job!" Fei Long said humbly," It's nothing. It's only right to do something for the resistance against Japan. It would be better if the Japanese attacked. I could kill a few more Japanese!"”
Chief of Staff Wu wanted to make things difficult for Fei Long, so he said,""What big words! It is said that you know everything. Then let me ask you, when will the Japanese army attack Song Jiang County? Which door will we attack from?" "Tomorrow morning, the Japanese army will cross the Huangpu River and attack from the east gate of Songjiang County?" Fei Long replied calmly.”
Chief of Staff Wu was not convinced and asked again,"Can Song Jiang hold on for three days? Will we be sacrificed?" " It's a little difficult," Fei Long replied with a frown." But with Commander Wu around, I think we can hold on for three days." As for whether or not we sacrifice ourselves, that will depend on our luck. Bullets and cannonballs do not have eyes.”
Commander Wu quickly stopped Chief of Staff Wu from asking questions."Alright, alright, don't make things difficult for Brother Fei Long anymore!”The Chief of Staff wanted to ask more questions, but he could only give up.
Commander Wu looked at Fei Long with admiration and said,""Brother Fei Long, if you don't mind, can you come to the command center and be our advisor?”Fei Long declined." I'm sorry. What I want to do the most is to experience the pleasure of killing the Japanese on the battlefield. As for whether I'll be an advisor or not, it's just a formality. I promise that if I have any good suggestions, I'll definitely give them to you. Or, if you have any questions, I'll definitely tell you everything I know!”
Commander Wu felt a little regretful, but he still said with satisfaction,""We respect Brother Fei Long's decision.”
