On the 28th, the Japanese army began to mobilize their troops frequently, and the 19th Route Army also adjusted their defenses.
Even so, some positions were still bombarded by Japanese planes from morning till night, while the Chinese Air Force was ordered by Jiang to rest first. However, Jiang himself had the attitude of losing Shanghai and moved the National Government to Wu Han on January 30.
However, most of the soldiers and civilians in Shanghai were fighting to the death, including the assassination groups organized by the people. They would always quickly evacuate after stabbing the devils. This made the Japanese officers very angry, so they directly ordered the naval soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder. In the end, the Japanese soldiers in the occupied areas would shoot at any man they saw on the streets, and any woman they saw, regardless of age, would become the prey of these beasts.
At this moment, the occupied area of Shanghai had become a living hell.
On the afternoon of the 28th, Wang Jiuguang asked the members of the Axe Gang to support the positions that were short of members, while Xu Qingfeng and Feifei wanted to get medicine, but the supply was interrupted due to the situation of all parties.
The supplies in Zhenru's military warehouse were also piled up like mountains, but they could not be sent to the front line. Because the middle was cut off, the two of them could not go down at all. It was difficult for them to even go back now, but even if they went back, it would be useless. Without medicine, they would still watch the soldiers die. The only way now was to stay here and see if they could think of another way.
Following Wang Jiuguang, he brought a few members of the Axe Gang to the Gaochang Temple near the Jiangnan manufacturing bureau in Shanghai's industrial zone. The surrounding houses had long been destroyed by the Japanese planes. The regular soldiers of the 19th Army were not here. It was the regimental headquarters of Wang Jiuguang's subordinate, Yu Likui.
Because Jiang Zhongzheng did not allow Wang Jiuguang, who had assassinated him, to take command of the army, he gave the command to his brother, Yu Likui. However, Jiang Zhongzheng still did not allow them to form an army. In the end, the army was changed into a regiment. Yu Likui appointed a regiment commander and led his troops into the 19th Route Army.
When he arrived outside the regiment headquarters, the guards were all from the Axe Gang. When they saw him, they all saluted him. Wang Jiuguang simply waved his hand and then entered with the others.
Yu Likui happened to be looking at the map on the table with others. When he saw someone coming, he looked up.
When he saw that it was an acquaintance, he was overjoyed. He stopped his work and went over to give his brothers a big bear hug. When Xu Qingfeng and Feifei arrived, he stopped and asked curiously. Wang Jiuguang simply said it, and he was full of praise.
After ending the ordinary conversation, the group gathered together to look at the map. The current situation was that the Japanese army had doubled the number of troops, and the defenders had no support. Jiang Zhongzheng was still urging the 5th Army and the 19th Army to retreat to the second line, which directly caused the Songhu battlefield to be in danger.
"Now it seems that there is no other way. There is only one thing that can slow down the Japanese army. This way, the pressure of the domestic fishing vessels will urge that baldy to send troops again!”Although Xu Qingfeng knew that it might not work, it was not his personality to give up without trying.
Everyone looked at him. Yu Likui asked,""What exactly is the method you are talking about? Don't tell me you still have people to mobilize?”
"Do you think he's a divine soldier?" Wang Jiuguang laughed. I guess the method he mentioned should be to shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, right?”
"Hehe, as expected of Big Brother Wang!”
"Hahaha, I'm at least twenty years older than you. I'm more like your uncle!”
"Your man is very young, and I look like an old man, so from now on, I want to acknowledge you as my big brother. If it succeeds, then I'll make a fortune, as long as you don't mind!”Xu Qingfeng took the opportunity to climb up.
The others found it funny. Wang Jiuguang also laughed out loud."You really look like Ah Mao. Not long ago, he was loyal to the country. Perhaps it was God's decision or Ah Mao's spirit in heaven. He knew that I would miss him, so he asked you to come and follow me!”
"Xu Qingfeng greets Big Brother!" He took the opportunity to bow with cupped fists. Wang Jiuguang happily asked him to skip the bow. Feifei also followed his example and cupped her fists."Since you've already taken in a brother, then you don't mind having a little sister, right, Brother Wang?”
"Hahaha, good, I'll accept both of you!”Wang Jiuguang got both of them to stand up and then continued,""Calling me big brother is a little unfamiliar. They all call me ninth brother. You guys should call me that in the future!”
Both of them agreed, and the tent was filled with laughter.
When it was almost time, Li Dasheng and Tao Bailing asked them to tell them what the solution was. Yu Likui also thought of what they had said and suddenly said,"Did you just say that you attacked the Japanese command center?”
"Eh, you thought of it too!"
"Don't be so silly. Don't think that just because you acknowledge me as your brother, you can be arrogant and disregard us elders!”Yu Likui joked, and Xu Qingfeng cooperated and quickly admitted his mistake. Yu Likui joked with him for a while, but suddenly his expression became worried. After being asked, he said,"Brother Nine, the commander of the Japanese army this time is a newly transferred commander of the Kwantung Army called Shirakawa Yoshinori. Ever since he came to Shanghai to command the battle, he has been hiding on the ship on the river. There were also some other military officers on their warship, Izumo. "Although these are not the main things, those important officials are all on the ship. It's not easy for us to kill those officials. I reckon we'll be beaten into a cork before we even go.”
The others frowned.
"That might not be the case!" Xu Qingfeng said from the side. Everyone looked at him curiously. Xu Qingfeng glanced around and said,"There is a saying in the world that if you want to destroy it, you must make it crazy. They are now bent on taking Songhu, so naturally, all their attention is focused on the front line. Moreover, they have always looked down on the Chinese people, and the National Government has always wanted to sign an agreement with them, so they don't want anyone to dare to bomb them. In this way, our sneak attack should not be a problem.”
Wang Jiuguang immediately laughed and praised him. Feifei stared at him from the side, as if she had the urge to rip his brain open and take a look.
"How can you be so sure that they will let down their guard? Have you already gone to take a look?”
"There's a saying that goes,'It's dark under the light'. Everyone has a moment of carelessness when they do things, so everything was just my guess!”Xu Qingfeng grinned.
Yu Likui's legs went weak. He wanted to say something, but he saw Wang Jiuguang walking out. Someone asked him where he was going, and his answer was simple. He wanted to see how the defense of the Cloud was.
It was obvious that he had agreed. The others did not say much and followed suit.
As soon as they left the door, a loud sound of firecrackers could be heard from the distant position outside. It was obvious that the Japanese army had begun to attack the Chinese army's position.
The few of them stopped for a moment and looked at the direction of the explosion. Then, they looked at the planes flying back and forth in the sky. Their expressions were cold, but they were helpless.
Before nightfall, they arrived at the harbor where the enemy warships were parked. Looking at the warships on the river roaring non-stop, the river was like a purgatory soup pot.
The battleships lined up and fired at the opposing national army. The sun flag on the ship fluttered in the wind, as if they were showing off their strength. Each and every one of them gritted their teeth in hatred.
" Look, the warship in the middle is the warship 'Izumo'. It's just that it's in the middle of the river. Although there are no patrols around it, we can't sink it!”Yu Likui said bitterly.
"This is really difficult. There are no boats around, and it's even more difficult to build a raft!”Xu Qingfeng was also distressed.
"People always think of solutions!" Wang Jiuguang analyzed," I guess the Japanese didn't even think that someone would come to bomb their ship, or they thought about it and lost the small boat. This way, they felt that no one could do anything to them." Then I'll let them see what it means to be a possibility within the impossible. Now, let's go back and make the bombs. We'll try our best to sink the ship to the bottom of the river tomorrow.”
"It snowed here a few days ago. Now that it's melting snow, the river water must be piercing and painful. If we let people swim and sink, I'm afraid it will be difficult!”Xu Qingfeng suddenly thought of this possibility.
The others reacted.
"Haha, as long as you can make the explosives, leave the matter of sending the explosives to me!”Li Dasheng patted his chest.
"And me, I'll go with you and be responsible for sinking that broken ship!”Tao Bailing volunteered as well, and then a few others volunteered to join them. A few people from the Anti-Wraith Gang also volunteered.
Wang Jiuguang was very satisfied.
Yu Likui saw that they were not afraid of life and death. Of course, he could not fall behind, so he took over the explosives.
Now that everything was ready, Yu Likui also went to prepare the explosives. The next step was to practice how to blow up the ship. The warship was ten thousand meters away from the shore, and they had to train the people well before they could blow up the ship.
Therefore, Wang Jiuguang brought the group to a pond in the national defense area and let them train. If they really couldn't stand the cold, they had to quickly go ashore.
Those who had already been selected were not afraid of the cold. Without saying anything, they began to train. Xu Qingfeng came out at this time and said,"Ninth Brother, let me try it too!"”Feifei also wanted to participate.
The others were making fun of the two of them. The two of them were so angry that they were about to jump into the water. Wang Jiuguang shouted in time,"Aren't you two here to look for medicine? I'll order someone to bring you guys to get the medicine now. There's no need for you to jump into the water!”
"Ninth Brother, don't lie to us. If you had the medicine, would you have waited until now to take it out?”Xu Qingfeng obviously didn't believe him. He knew why he didn't allow him to jump into the water. It was probably because he was young.
"Who said there's no medicine? I just forgot about Ah Mao's matter. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to get it myself!”After giving a few instructions to his subordinates, he called the two of them to follow him.
Now that their boss had personally brought them to get the medicine, they naturally couldn't refuse. It was important to blow up the Japanese, but saving them couldn't be delayed. They had already been delayed for two days. Now that they had it, they would save them first and see if they could make it in time.
Wang Jiuguang's special car was here, and he personally drove them to the spare warehouse. They arrived at midnight and packed the medicine and medical equipment into a carriage overnight.
When they were done, Wang Jiuguang said to them,""I forgot to eat in the afternoon because of something. I even forgot about dinner. The two of you are growing now.”
If it was just the two of them, they would go back directly. But now that Wang Jiuguang was treating, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
They brought the two of them to a large warehouse. The people inside were all asleep at first, but now they were woken up by them. Seeing that their eldest brother had returned with someone, they no longer felt sleepy and began to chat with them.
