The War of Resistance

Old Mao Wang had a bad feeling at this moment, but what else could they do except turn around and face the officer's questioning?

So all of them turned around, and saw a group of officers standing in front of them.

The higher the rank, the easier it is for an officer to be recognized. This is like the era of cold weapons. The chief general stands in the middle and the deputy generals are listed on both sides, just like the stars and the moon.

Old Mao Wang saw that the officer standing in the middle looked about the same age as him, and was about the same size as him, but thinner than him.

But so what? You must know that the aura of a soldier is absolutely different when he stands with a military commander who looks similar to him!

The leader was looking at their group with a long-standing gaze.

Old Mao Wang's thoughts changed, but he couldn't think of a good way. He wondered how people could know that these people like himself were not from the Sixty-seventh Army.

And then he thought, maybe the equipment of his people is a bit different compared with other Northeast Army.

In fact, it was exactly the same, Wang Laomao was secretly observing the teacher opposite, and why wasn't he watching them?

In the eyes of the teacher, Shang Zhen and the others are really different from the general Northeast Army!

More than 30 people, the strength of a platoon is basically a box cannon per person, and the box cannon has become standard equipment, as if the box cannon is just a self-defense weapon.

Except for a box cannon in each hand, half of the people have flower mechanisms, and the rest have both rifles and machine guns, and even Japanese grenade launchers, and that rifle is longer than all the rifles of the Northeast Army, because that It is the 38-type rifle of the Japanese army.

But these are not the most conspicuous, but the most conspicuous are people like Shang Zhen, each of whom has 3 to 4 Japanese grenades hanging on them.

The grenades of the Japanese army and the grenades with wooden handles used by the Chinese army have their own advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield.

Generally speaking, the explosive power of the Japanese grenade is stronger, but the grenade with a wooden handle is thrown farther.

At this time, those grenades were dangling from Shang Zhen's shoulders or waists, as if they were medals they had won when they defeated the Japanese invaders.

In this situation, it is difficult for them not to attract attention!

"Tell me! I want to ask you something!" At this time, another officer, probably the adjutant of the division commander, asked displeasedly when he saw that Shang Zhen and his group were silent.

"Sir, we are here to join the 108th Division." Shang Zhen stood upright without saluting.

"I don't care which division you are here to join. Why don't you salute the officer when you see him?" the adjutant asked coldly.

"Report sir, it's not suitable to salute the army now that you're on the battlefield!" Shang Zhen then replied.

He answered neither fast nor slow.

In fact, how to answer the other party's question, Shang Zhen also made his own decisions.

He could only say that it was not appropriate to salute an officer but did not say why.

As for why, it was not because of the fear of exposing the officer's identity. If the Japanese army hiding in the dark saw it, the officer might be sniped.

But can such words be said in public? As a soldier, if he dared to speak like that, he might be reprimanded by some ignorant officers.

People say that the chief is not afraid of death, or do you think that the brothers around us are free? If that's the case, wouldn't Shang Zhen's face be made embarrassing by others!

But it was okay at this time, obviously that adjutant was not mediocre, he still heard the subtext in Shang Zhen's words.

He no longer entangled in the question of the military salute, but continued to ask in displeasure: "Which department do you belong to? This is the mayor of our 108th Division, Mr. Chang!"

Oh, so this is Master Chang Enchang.

Shang Zhen hurriedly took out an envelope from his jacket pocket and handed it over with both hands, and what was contained in that envelope was the recommendation letter written by Lu Cao to them.

The adjutant glanced at Shang Zhen in confusion, took the envelope, opened it, and handed the letter to Chang En without looking at the contents of the letter.

Shang Zhen and the others all focused on Chang En's face, and they were very concerned about Chang En's reaction, because Chang En's decision after reading the letter would determine their fate.

However, after Chang En finished reading the letter, there was no expression on his face.

When the ancient courtiers tried to figure out the emperor's mind, they often used four words called "the power of the sky is unpredictable", and Shang Zhen and the others did the same.

But who knows what Chang En is thinking?

On the occasion of this great war, a teacher has many things to think about. Maybe he didn't take people like Shang Zhen to his heart at all. He just handed the letter back to Shang Zhen casually, and then said casually: "Follow me Get behind me!"

Naturally, Shang Zhen stood up straight and said "yes", but at the same time, he didn't care about Old Hat Wang, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

See if Chang En asked them to serve as his bodyguards.

Chang En's arrangement is undoubtedly the best ending for Shang Zhen and the others.

In any case, following behind the leader of the first division, there are not many opportunities to go to the front line, and the chance of dying in battle is naturally much smaller.

For people like Yu Shangzhen, they are afraid of death and they are not afraid of death.

Afraid of death, they do not want to be killed by Japanese artillery shells while defending their positions.

Not afraid of death, they hope to fight the Japanese army in their own way, so that they can kill more Japanese soldiers, and in the process, if they die in battle, they can only accept their fate!

Shang and the others followed Chang En, and finally they arrived at the division command post.

Naturally, they have no right to follow up with the command post, and at this time a young officer said to Shang Zhen and the others: "Come with me!"

Since everyone is from the Northeast Army, Shang Zhen and the others quickly became acquainted with that officer.

That officer was called Lei Liang, and he was the company commander of Chang En's guard.

Yesterday Wen Changqing led his troops, which were the vanguard of the 67th Army, and rushed to Songjiang County as quickly as possible, and then Shang Zhen and the others arrived.

Wen Changqing took them as members of the Sixty-seventh Army, and led them directly to the north bank of the Huangpu River, where they blocked the Japanese troops who were about to cross the river.

So Shang Zhen and the others actually passed through the city and went straight to the front line. Only at this time did Shang Zhen and the others have a deeper understanding of the entire battle situation in Songjiang County and even the Songhu battlefield.

The Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield retreated hastily.

It has to be said that there is a serious problem with someone's command in this matter.

He first did not allow the troops to retreat.

However, due to heavy losses in all aspects, some Chinese troops finally could not withstand the Japanese attack and began to retreat first, which caused a chaotic situation in the retreat.

But at this time, he was still not allowed to retreat in order to show the "League of Nations" that he was still not allowed to retreat. Later, he found that the Japanese army could not survive the landing at Jinshanwei, so he issued an order to retreat.

This order came so suddenly that the Chinese army units were not prepared to retreat in advance, which further deepened the chaos of the retreat.

It was under such circumstances that the Sixty-seventh Army received an order from the group army to intercept the Japanese army and cover the retreat of the large troops.

The guard force of Songjiang County at that time only included the 43rd Army and a local security brigade.

It sounds so exciting to say that there will be an army in a county, but the fact is that it is depressing.

The Forty-Third Army is a team of the Sichuan Army. It suffered heavy losses during the Battle of Songhu, so that when it received the order to assist in the defense of Songjiang County, the commander of the army was only a few hundred people who were patched together. .

As for the security brigade, it was even worse from the name. Their guns were all old, and even the grenades they used were not even comparable to the standard grenades of the Chinese army, and they were all home-made.

But such a team did not escape like other Chinese troops, but stood firm in Songjiang County.

Although it is said that because the 67th Army arrived in time, they did not start a war with the Japanese army, but their courage of never retreating has already defeated many Chinese troops.
