Eight hours ago.
"Director Meng, the order for the evacuation has been issued. All our military agents have been dispatched to spread the order."
"Okay, where are the other departments?"
"They are all retreating according to the plan, and some have already reached the designated position. The Taihu guerrillas are fully prepared for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and will attack the Japanese troops along the road."
"I know, the preparations are quite sufficient." Meng Shaoyuan closed the file he was reading: "Unfortunately, the retreat order was issued too hastily, which will plunge our army into chaos."
But this is no longer within his control.
Wu Jingyi continued to report there: "According to the deployment, our army will block the Qingpu front line..."
Qingpu?
Something seems to be wrong?
Are you okay?
Zhu Yanni had been operating in the Qingpu area before.
Maybe when I think of Qingpu, I think of Zhu Yanni?
She had just completed a mission with her, and now she went out to notify the troops to retreat. She didn't know if it was still safe.
After all the military operations were reported, Wu Jingyi said smoothly: "Originally, a new group of students would rush to Shanghai, but halfway, due to the changes in the situation in Shanghai, they were diverted back..."
Wait, Qingpu, students... students, Qingpu!
Meng Shaoyuan stood up suddenly: "Wu Jingyi, do we have a training camp in Qingpu?"
"Yes." Wu Jingyi said quickly: "But I have been ordered to retreat, and it is estimated that it is now..."
Speaking of this, Wu Jingyi's expression also changed: "However, near Qingpu and Songjiang, we also have a technical cadre training class with 500 students in it!"
not good!
This military training class for technical cadres in Songjiang was run by Wen Qiang, another confidant of Dai Li, with a total of 500 students.
Wen Qiang attaches great importance to this training class and does not allow others to interfere. But during the Songhu retreat, whether due to negligence or for some other reason, the retreat order was not conveyed there.
As a result, these five hundred students, under the attack of the Japanese army, fought to the death and fought bloody to the end. There were only about thirty people left out of five hundred.
This is also a huge loss for the military.
Wen Qiang is directly responsible for this training class and is not responsible for Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming and others.
When preparing to retreat, Meng Shaoyuan had been arranging his troops to lurk and retreat in an orderly manner. He was busy with work, and he had to go to the front line to perform tasks in person. To be honest, he had not thought about this training class.
Now that everything was arranged, when he heard about Qingpu, he always felt that there was still something unfinished.
When he heard the word "student", he suddenly remembered everything.
They are not ordinary students.
Some are old agents, some are officers transferred from the army, and some are Huangpu students.
Five hundred cadres, they are the elite of the military command!
This is training as the backbone of future military unification.
"Can you get in touch with there?"
Wu Jingyi’s answer quickly cut off Meng Shaoyuan’s hope: “It’s no longer possible, all contacts with Qingpu and Songjiang are cut off.
"Prepare the car, I want to go there immediately." Meng Shaoyuan opened the drawer and took out the pistol.
"Director Meng." Wu Jingyi said anxiously: "If you want to go, I'll go. Now our manpower has been exhausted, leaving only a few housekeepers. The Japanese invaders have rushed into Songjiang. It's too dangerous for you to go."
"Danger? You have to go even if it's dangerous!" Meng Shaoyuan couldn't argue at all: "Five hundred people, every one can be rescued. You are not familiar with it, and you are also responsible for sitting in and listening to the report."
Wu Jingyi knew Meng Shaoyuan too well.
Once Meng Shaoyuan says something like this, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
"Xiao Li, come in immediately."
After a phone call, Xiao Li hurried into the office not long after.
"Report!"
"Xiao Li, send Director Meng to Songjiang."
"What?" Xiao Li suspected that he heard wrongly: "Director Meng, Assistant Wu, there are Japs everywhere in Songjiang now."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at him with a cold look: "Our rules are that you can only listen and not ask. Do you need me to emphasize the discipline to you again?"
"Yes! I know I was wrong."
…
Along the way, retreating national army soldiers could be seen everywhere.
The scene was chaotic.
From time to time, Japanese planes flew by and bombed.
The car was speeding there.
Do the opposite.
Everyone was retreating, but the car was speeding in the direction of the Japanese advance.
The speed is already very fast.
But Meng Shaoyuan still kept urging.
Hurry up, hurry up.
The earlier you arrive, the sooner you can rescue a few people.
"Director Meng, we are almost arriving in Qingpu."
The bombing has obviously intensified, and there are gunshots everywhere. On several occasions, the car was almost hit by the shells.
"Faster, faster!"
Meng Shaoyuan was very anxious.
However, the car stopped.
"What's going on?" Meng Shaoyuan yelled.
"I'm out of gas, I need to refuel."
"Quick, quick!"
Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless and got out of the car.
Xiao Li took out a barrel of oil from the trunk.
"I'm going there for convenience."
Meng Shaoyuan walked aside.
After finishing the convenience, I felt relaxed. I saw Xiao Li still there to refuel, so I lit a cigarette for myself.
In the sky, two black spots quickly came closer and closer.
"Plane, watch out, plane!"
Two Japanese bombers appeared in the sky.
"Get down, get down!"
"Boom, boom!"
A series of bombs were dropped...
…
The Japanese plane left in a show of glory.
The car was completely blown up, and Xiao Li's body could not be distinguished from its original appearance.
Meng Shaoyuan climbed out of the soil, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
There is still some distance to Qingpu, and the rest of the way depends on two legs.
After walking for more than half an hour, fierce gunfire came from the direction of Qingpu City.
Group 306?
The 306th regiment in charge of the rear?
Yes, it must be them!
They did not receive an order to retreat and were still holding on there.
Five hundred students, brothers in one regiment!
Meng Shaoyuan checked the time, gritted his teeth, and ran out in the direction of Qingpu City, shouting loudly as he ran:
"Retreat! Retreat! The entire army retreats!"
…
"Captain Qiu, I still have five hundred brothers waiting for me!" Meng Shaoyuan gasped: "If you want to help me, give me a submachine gun and a few magazines. All my weapons were blown up in the car. "
"Someone, bring me a weapon."
Qiu Weida handed the weapon to Meng Shaoyuan: "Colonel Meng, thank you very much, take care!"
"Take care, Commander Qiu!"
…
Songjiang, training class for military technical cadres.
"Captain, captain, the Japanese have been discovered, the Japanese have been discovered!"
A student rushed in hurriedly.
The top person in charge here, Liao Shudong, is a colonel and a sixth-generation student in Huangpu.
He still doesn't understand. The Japanese army has already entered Songjiang. Why has the order to retreat never arrived?
"Everyone, take your weapons and retreat!"
There are only more than two hundred small weapons in the entire training class, and most of them are pistols.
It is simply a joke to use such a weapon to risk your life against the Japanese army.
"Captain, where should we retreat?"
Liao Shudong didn't know where to retreat.
There is no order from superiors and no retreat route. How should we retreat?
"Captain, make up your mind quickly, the Japanese forward is very close to us."
"There is a bamboo forest nearby. Let's hide there first. The Japanese may not find us!" Liao Shudong made his own decision.
…
Meng Shaoyuan was still running wildly.
Come in time, come in time.
He kept telling himself this in his mind.
The Japanese army did not advance that fast.
My own speed is fast enough.
Meng Shaoyuan never thought that one day he would anesthetize himself by lying to himself.
He felt a little more impulsive now.
I am alone, what if the cadre training class has already encountered the enemy?
One person cannot make any difference.
Meng Shaoyuan swore that if he really encountered the situation he least wanted to see, he would have no choice but to give up those agents.
The influence of one person on the battlefield is too minimal.
…
The Japanese advance was too fast.
It is too difficult for five hundred students to hide quietly in the bamboo forest.
The Japanese forward troops quickly discovered this group of Chinese.
In an instant, they were like jackals smelling blood, biting them to death.
"Ready to fight! Prepare to fight!"
Liao Shudong shouted loudly.
There was nowhere to run.
Right here, fight like a soldier until the end.
No, I was originally a soldier, a sixth-generation student from Huangpu!
While classmates from Huangpu were fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, I was leading a group of students to receive training here.
I heard that many students have died in a violent battle.
Now, it should be your turn.
"Kong Chuanbo!"
"arrive!"
"I'm responsible for sniping the Japanese invaders. You can take the people and see if you can find an opportunity to stand out!"
"Captain, let me do it."
"Fart!" Liao Shudong stared: "I am the captain, I have the final say. Come fifty people who are not afraid of death, follow and help the brothers fight a bloody path!"
With almost no mobilization, fifty students have already stood up.
Four rifles, the rest all pistols.
Trying to kill someone with such a weapon is simply a fantasy.
But sometimes, people always want to do something crazy.
The Japanese troops could already be seen.
Liao Shudong turned on the safety of the pistol: "Get ready!"
Prepare!
The Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the bamboo forest.
Liao Shudong stood up suddenly, waved his pistol and shouted:
"Brothers, fight your way out, charge!"
…
Meng Shaoyuan lay there.
In the end, it was a step too late, and the Japanese army bit all the students in the training class.
It's over.
He closed his eyes in despair.
It's over, everything is over.
No chance.
He has created miracles again and again.
But this time, there's really nothing that can be done about it.
Don't try to be brave, don't try to be brave.
Meng Shaoyuan kept telling himself over and over in his heart.
…
Liao Shudong kept pulling the trigger.
He killed two Japanese soldiers.
Almost all of the fifty brothers were dead.
There was no chance to stand out at all.
Liao Shudong was forced to a pool of water. He pulled the trigger and there was no bullet left.
He smiled, threw away the gun, and shouted:
"China will not perish! The resistance to Japan will be victorious!"
"Tu tu tu tu!"
Japanese machine guns rang out.
Liao Shudong's body fell heavily into the pool...
…
Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive.
Suddenly, Meng Shaoyuan shouted:
"Your grandma's, your Master Meng is here!"
