Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 207

Chapter 207 What a big construction site (4th update, please subscribe!)

Lieutenant General Guo and Lieutenant General Liu, who had already chosen the address of the headquarters, took Wang Gongyu and Tang Dao to meet them.

The leader is a tall, tall soldier in a straight uniform who rides on a pure black horse.

Although the two parties have never met, based on the military rank on the collar badge, it is natural to be able to basically determine the identity of the visitor.

The lieutenant general of the army who threw down his riding crop and jumped off his horse with a sound like a bell was naturally the famous Lieutenant General Wu Keren of the Northeastern Army. He was one of the most popular generals under the former young marshal. Otherwise, he would not have been the second-in-command of the Northeastern Army who had secretly joined the northern army. After the No. 1 figure was killed in an attack, he became the leader of the Northeast Army.

Tang Dao knew that this Songjiang blockade, which was full of tragic meaning, actually had the intention of Jinling to suppress the elite of the Northeast Army.

The 67th Army may be the Northeastern Army closest to the northwest army. The army was an active participant in the incident that occurred in the 25th year of the Republic of China. For that person, it was naturally a thorn in his side.

Of course, Tang Dao knew better that the concise, concise and clean general in front of him had a tragic fate in the past time and space.

Even after his sacrifice, he was not recognized by anyone, and was even accused of defecting. It was not until decades later that his subordinates gradually became big figures in China and worked hard to vindicate him, and he was finally redressed and included in the list of famous anti-Japanese generals.

Lieutenant General Wu had the characteristic straightforwardness of Northeastern people. The two sides exchanged brief introductions and exchanged greetings. He only smiled and nodded to Tang Dao, the now famous commander of the Four Lines Battalion, and then led the army into the city.

What appeared before them was a small city with bonfires all over the place.

Or to be more precise, it is a large construction site.

Until then, many generals of the 67th Army who were still dissatisfied at the city gate understood why there were only two lieutenant generals and a major general to greet them.

Because, except for the four of them and the alert sentries, the rest of the people, from the major generals down to the civilian men, were all digging trenches and building fortifications. If there were no lights, they would light bonfires.

Songjiang now lacks nothing but wood.

Under the leadership of Commissioner Wang, who had already taken the risk and demolished his own mansion and family ancestral hall, the originally elegant and quiet town had been demolished into a mess before the war started.

The bigger the house, the more miserable it is.

The soldiers didn't have the patience to demolish the house with pickaxes, so they placed a few grenades under the load-bearing wall, 'Boom! ' The house collapsed with a sound, and the usable beams were pulled out to build fortifications, and some fragments of wooden furniture were naturally used to light the bonfire.

Even though the 67th Army was marching in a hurry and was ready to fight to the death, they were also shocked by the extremely decisive scene in front of them.

This is not about resisting the rhythm of three days and nights, it is about vowing to live and die together in Songjiang!

"Okay! No wonder Brother Guo, you were able to lead the 43rd Army to fight such a wonderful battle in Songhu. I originally thought those people were exaggerating and exaggerating for their own sake, but now I know that your army deserves such praise." Lieutenant General Wu Looking at the busy construction site around me, I sighed sincerely. "My little brother traveled a long way south this time and was unable to catch up with the Battle of Songhu, but today I am honored to be able to fight alongside Brother Guo!"

The commander of the 67th Army is several years younger than Lieutenant General Guo, so it is normal to call him by his brother's name. But if the 43rd Army hadn't first established its reputation in the battle of Songhu, and what it did at this moment is hard not to admire, I'm afraid this Northeastern man would probably still be called by his military title as he did at the city gate.

After all, the 43rd Army has less than 700 people in total, but this man is commanding an army of more than 30,000 people in two infantry divisions.

It's like in the future, you are the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles at the county level in a prefecture-level city, and he is a parent official in a county. Both parties are at the same level, but their power is extremely different.

"There, there, Commander Wu, you haven't arrived at Songjiang yet. Due to time constraints, Lao Guo and I made the decision first. Please forgive me, Commander Wu." Lieutenant General Guo waved his hands modestly.

“Okay, I won't say much more. I, the officers and men of the 67th Army, will march 80 miles in ten hours today. I'll give my brothers a breather for one hour.” Lieutenant General Wu looked at the generals of the 67th Army around him and stretched out a finger. "An hour later, all brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies of the entire army entered the positions according to the positions assigned by the headquarters, and built fortifications overnight."

“Yes!” A group of major generals from the 67th Army collectively took the order.

"I will arrange for the brothers of the 67th Army to have food and water." Wang Gongyu stood up and took the initiative to take charge.

That is necessary. Commissioner Wang took the lead in demolishing homes and ancestral halls earlier, rather than setting an example to fight for his family and country, it is more out of despair that even if he smashed the can, he would not give it to the Japanese. People are going to die anyway, so there's no point leaving things there, right? Now, more than 30,000 people from the 67th Army are coming in force, which gives this man some hope. No matter how strong the Japanese are, if they want to swallow these 30,000 people in one go, they will have to break a few big teeth. It's been three days?

Then no matter what, we have to feed and drink these 30,000 uncles. Commissioner Wang, whose face finally looked more relaxed, had such simple thoughts at the moment.

Lieutenant General Wu would naturally not refuse if he could get some delicious food for his subordinates. After raising his hands and saluting to express his gratitude, several core people walked to the headquarters selected by Tang Dao and others.

After all, Songjiang is not a new big city like Songhu. It is really not easy to find a sturdier building. Even if it is recommended by local snakes like Wang Gongyu, the two lieutenant generals cannot even find a few locations.

In the end, the battalion commander of a security group under Wang Gongyu provided a building that was the home of his brother-in-law who ran a pawnshop and grain store.

I don't know how this pawnshop owner who **** the blood of the common people treats his brother-in-law. Anyway, the brother-in-law didn't have much psychological pressure when he tricked his brother-in-law. Not only did he lure several big guys who could decide his fate to his brother-in-law's mansion with a smile, but he also The location of the underground warehouse, which was locked tightly when my brother-in-law left, was truthfully informed.

Generally speaking, the houses in Jiangnan have white walls and black tiles. The interiors of rich people's houses are even more decorated with small bridges, flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings. The garden-style buildings are elegant and exquisite. It is easy to see the Jiangnan style. But this pawnshop owner's home is definitely atypical. Jiangnan architecture.

The area of nearly two acres is not a big word. Rich families at home and abroad have been like this in ancient and modern times. If you don't break your legs to go to the toilet, you can't show off the word "rich".

What's awesome is that the entire house is surrounded by a blue brick wall that is 80 centimeters thick and more than three meters high. There are even sentries at the four corners. From the outside, it looks like a small prison.

The interior is quite Jiangnan style, with everything you need for a garden and pond. However, the two-story building in the backyard that also has an underground warehouse is made of reinforced cement concrete. Even the door is an iron door five centimeters thick. It's like this is a bank vault.

When Tang Dao ordered the soldiers to blow off the latch of the door with a grenade, Tang Dao realized that it might have been him who would have built such a strong house.

The building is full of dazzling things, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings. These things may not be valuable in wartime, but in peacetime, based on this alone, the owner here will definitely be ranked among the top five richest people in Jiangnan.

The walls may not be as thick as the Sihang Warehouse, which is more than half a meter, but the nearly 40-centimeter concrete wall is definitely the strongest building in Songjiang at present. Without any hesitation, Lieutenant General Guo has already designated this building as the headquarters.

More importantly, there is a warehouse three meters deep below the first floor. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there is also a large amount of food. Perhaps Tang Dao still cannot fully understand why this rich man treats food as the same as gold, silver and jewelry. existence, but people in this troubled world know the importance of food.

When there is war, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. Gold and silver cannot be eaten, but food can survive.

Although this is a personal item, it is no different than usual during wartime. Staying here can only benefit the Japanese. According to the wishes of the two lieutenant generals, food is used to supply the entire army, gold, silver, and jewelry are used as military expenses, and other ancient things It's enough to light a fire.

Tang knives can be regarded as small butterflies, but they value antique calligraphy and paintings more. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Chinese nation. In the future, China will not know how much effort and financial resources it will take to collect the limited number from abroad.

He personally packed these treasures into wooden boxes, and asked Erya to lead people to put them on the truck to watch over them carefully. He also told the security battalion commander named Zhuang Shisan that if the owner of the house wanted to take back these antiques, For calligraphy and painting, when the war is over, just find Si Xing Camp.

Not taking advantage of the masses is something that is engraved in the bones of Tang Dao, and it is also one of the main reasons why the army he once belonged to eventually became the winner.

The so-called harvest is naturally not important. What is important is to have a headquarters that can defend against heavy artillery.

Walking into the clean small building and the command center built underground, Lieutenant General Wu was still very satisfied although the air was not very circulated and felt stuffy.

Songhu map has been laid out on the simple conference table.

The resolute Lieutenant General Wu immediately held the first pre-war meeting of the Songjiang Army.

It's just that, unlike Lieutenant General Guo, who is good at calculation, this person's style is much simpler, even a little rough.
