After the special forces battalion successfully broke out of the Japanese's encirclement, Guo Zixu's team was left with less than 100 people. Another 27 brave and hot-blooded men fell forever on the land they defended with their lives and blood.
Bloodshed and sacrifice were inevitable in war. After experiencing a few tough battles with the Japanese, even the dozen or so student soldiers who had just joined the army learned not to show their sadness on their faces. Instead, they turned their grief into strength and remembered the blood feud of their comrades on the Japanese.
After a night's rest, he was back to full of vigor and killing intent.
The team continued south along the Suzhou Creek. Looking at the peaceful scene of singing and dancing on the other side of the river, and then looking at the ruins behind them, Guo Zixu could not help but sigh.
The Suzhou Creek separated the two worlds.
On this side of the river, countless brave and hot-blooded men from Guangdong and Guangxi, from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, from North China, Northwest China, from all over the world, from all directions, gathered on the battlefield of Songhu, which was like a meat grinder, to fight for the dignity of the country and the people. The blood of 300,000 heroic spirits spilled on the Huangpu River.
On the other side of the river, the corrupt and incompetent Qing government had used a hundred years of humiliation in exchange for peace in the troubled times. Blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerners watched the show across the river bank. Business girls who did not know the hatred of national subjugation were debauchery and partying every night. Profiteers were busy making money from national disasters. Traitors were busy defecting to the enemy and becoming lackeys. There were all kinds of people in the world.
"Battalion Commander, that's not right. The road we're taking isn't the road out of the city.”
Shen Dalang looked at the route of the army. The more he walked, the more he felt that this was the route to retreat from the Songhu battlefield. Instead, it was a detour back to the battlefield where the two armies were fighting.
It was not easy for them to break out of the encirclement of the Japanese and kill a major general, three senior officers, and a bunch of assistant officers. This was already a huge advantage. Why did the battalion commander retreat from the battlefield and wait for the reward from the Supreme Command?
Shen Dalang was stunned and asked in confusion,""What? Battalion Commander, didn't the brigade command us to break out of the encirclement? Now that they had already escaped the Japanese's encirclement, where were they going to go?”
"Four rows of warehouses!"
Guo Zixu pointed at the outline of the building that could be vaguely seen with the naked eye and said,""Do you see it? It's right there. Before the Battle of Songhu, I was fortunate enough to accompany General Yang of the Northwest Army to the West for an inspection. I purchased a few batches of weapons and equipment from the Americans and shipped them to China.”
Guo Zixu raised the semi-automatic rifle in his hand and patted the rocket launcher on Shen Dalang's shoulder.""Do you think I conjured all these weapons and equipment out of thin air?”
Guo Zixu told a white lie. On the one hand, he gave a reasonable explanation of the source of the weapons. On the other hand, he also told all the officers and soldiers why they had to return to the war zone.
It was easy to exchange for the equipment now, but it would be troublesome if he could exchange for main battle tanks and aircraft later.
Not only did it involve the storage and extraction of weapons and equipment, but it also involved the deployment and training of these weapons and equipment that did not belong to this era. All of them needed to be carried out in a relatively stable environment.
Only with these advanced weapons and equipment could they create a truly invincible team. Only such a team could drive the Japanese into the sea. Only such a team could defend against the enemy outside the country. Only such a team could make contributions to the rise of the Chinese nation in the world.
Therefore, it was time to put the matter of establishing a base on the agenda.
"Huh?"
Shen Dalang was stunned at first, but he soon reacted and laughed like a profiteer."Hehe, Battalion Commander, I knew it. Such a good weapon is definitely not German equipment, and it can't be Japanese. So it's a foreign product that you purchased. No wonder it's so powerful.”
After he finished speaking, Shen Dalang pretended to be alert as he looked to his left and right. Then, he leaned over to Guo Zixu and whispered,""Battalion Commander, can you take a breath? How many good things do you have hidden? Do you have any good stuff that can shoot incendiary bombs? I love that stuff. With one blast, all the Japanese within a hundred miles will be roasted into suckling pigs.”
Guo Zixu was both angry and amused by this old soldier. If it weren't for the fact that this kid killed the Japanese without hesitation, he really wanted to kick him out of the special forces camp.
"Don't worry, we won't be missing your rocket launchers. The weapons stored in the warehouse are enough to equip a battalion.”
Guo Zixu smiled and said seriously,"So, do you now know why I have to go to Sihang Warehouse?"?”
Shen Dalang's eyes almost lit up when he heard that there was a battalion's worth of equipment. He immediately slapped his chest tag and said,""I have to go. I'll kill whoever doesn't go!”
At this moment, Li Fugui, who was acting as a scout in the front row of the team, suddenly stopped. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the special forces battalion behind him immediately scattered in all directions.
"There's an enemy. Prepare for battle!"
Guo Zixu immediately gave the order, then loaded the bolt of the semi-automatic rifle. He walked quickly to Li Fugui along the path made by the scattered soldiers and raised the binoculars in his hand to observe the battlefield.
"Battalion Commander, two Japanese tanks and about a squadron of Japanese soldiers are moving towards the warehouse.”Li Fugui immediately reported what he had observed.
Through the binoculars, Guo Zixu also discovered that the Japanese were preparing to launch a tentative attack on the warehouse.
His gaze then fell on the front of the warehouse. The spacious door of the warehouse was wide open, and the outer perimeter of the warehouse was littered with the corpses of many national soldiers.
Guo Zixu knew that this was a trap set up by Xie Jinyuan, a senior from Huangpu Military Academy. He was waiting to catch the Japanese.
According to the original course of history, this group of Japanese who launched a probing attack would be attacked by the flour explosion of the defenders after entering the warehouse. Then, the big iron gate of the warehouse would slowly close, and his senior Xie Jin Yuan would wipe out this group of Japanese.
However, Guo Zixu's sudden appearance would change everything.
"Senior, this squadron of Japanese can be my gift to you!”
Guo Zixu thought to himself. He had his own plans. If he wanted to successfully take over the four-row warehouse, he had to show some real ability that could convince the senior of Huangpu Phase IV.
The Japanese in front of him was the best proof of their loyalty.
"All members of the Special Forces Battalion, listen to my orders and prepare to attack!”
