"Director Meng!"
When she finally saw Meng Shaoyuan, Zhu Yanni felt relieved.
"Godfather!"
Fan Zhenbang rushed over, and when he saw Meng Shaoyuan, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"What do you do? Get up quickly."
Meng Shaoyuan quickly asked him to get up: "We are all guerrillas, why are we kowtowing? We have to kowtow during the Chinese New Year."
In order to help herself, Zhu Yanni mobilized all the people she could mobilize.
Half a detachment, about fifty people.
However, in order to ensure Meng Shaoyuan's safety, Zhu Yanni did not tell anyone except Fan Zhenbang the target person of this mission.
Even when she came to see Meng Shaoyuan, Zhu Yanni only brought Fan Zhenbang with her.
The cry of "Director Meng" was a bit lively.
The relationship between Zhu Yanni and Meng Shaoyuan is no longer the superior-subordinate relationship in the past. They have not seen each other for more than two months, and they are still a little embarrassed.
Zhu Yanni couldn't help but blush when she thought about what happened that night.
"Dad, god... detachment leader, I'll help you keep watch." Fan Zhenbang was a smart guy, and he turned around and ran away.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at Zhu Yanni's belly with his eyes rolling. What do you think this is? Chóng Qìng's "good news" has not yet come, and there is actually no movement in Zhu Yanni's stomach.
Could it be that because I traveled through time, some functions were destroyed?
For God's sake, don't make this joke to yourself.
"What are you looking at there?" Zhu Yanni rolled her eyes at him: "Without your... seed... you go to Chóng Qìng and stay with the Generalissimo every day. Maybe they will have your Master Meng's child in their belly." Where is the young master?"
"It's unjust." Meng Shaoyuan never blinked when telling lies: "When I arrived in Chóng Qìng, I was reporting on work and suppressing bandits. How could I have time to be with some kind of generalissimo?"
It's a pity that Zhu Yanni is not as naive as Zhen Naizi, and she will only believe what he says.
Meng Shaoyuan always had an ominous premonition. What if Zhu Yanni, Shang Qianyi, and Zhen Naizi got together one day?
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it, just live one day at a time.
Worried that Zhu Yanni would continue to ask questions, she quickly changed the topic: "Have you always been around Nanjing?"
"Well, how else could I come to rescue you, Master Meng?" Zhu Yanni also became serious: "The situation is getting worse and worse. Originally, there were contacts with several teams in Nanjing, but in order to help Qi Lu take revenge, these few The whole squadron has lurked into Nanjing City, and now we are isolated and helpless. If you contact us a few days later, I will prepare to move with the team."
"Do you have a goal?"
"Yes, either go to Taihu Lake to join the guerrillas, or go to Jurong and Maoshan areas. After our soldiers broke through, they organized young men and guerrillas there, and they developed quite rapidly."
Although the Battle of Nanjing failed, many Japanese soldiers completed the breakout.
At that time, the situation of the breakout troops was still very dangerous. They are alone, without support, and cannot last long. In this case, they relied on the local township security chief to mobilize strong men to fight against the enemy, and achieved remarkable results.
The army held a meeting of township security chiefs near Qiujia, and more than 10 township chiefs attended the meeting. The meeting decided to organize guerrillas to carry out guerrilla warfare against the enemy, and at the same time organize young men to be responsible for protecting the villages.
At the meeting, Luo Wenbo of Dai Village was appointed as the guerrilla commander, and Zhang Xingyuan, the mayor of Baohua Township, Zhang Yingzhao, the security chief of Dai Village, and Wu Yudong, the security chief of Qiujia Village, were each organized into a squadron of strong men, all under the command of Luo Wenbo.
They agreed that if they encounter Japanese troops searching the mountain, they should raise a fire signal at a designated location. If the enemy enters the village, the strong men in the village should resist with force. The other security guards will immediately send three armed men to support as soon as they hear the sound of gunfire.
In order to ensure that this goal can be achieved, the director of the 66th Army's Staff Office, the director of the Fourth Route Army's Nanjing Breakout Force Containment Office, and the deputy commander of the 12th Army's Guerrilla Advance Column Guo Yongbiao once again convened the township security chief for a meeting to teach guerrilla tactics.
The meeting decided to put Zhang Xingyuan in charge and send strong men to the Jiuhua Mountain area to search for abandoned firearms. It was stipulated that if a mortar was found, a reward of 20 yuan would be given; a light machine gun would be rewarded 15 yuan; a rifle and a shell gun would be rewarded. Each will be rewarded 10 yuan.
After that, the shelter sent officers and soldiers to each village to train strong men and guide them to attack sparse enemies.
In the past few days, many enemies have been killed. Even if they encounter dozens or hundreds of enemies, they can still intercept and kill them bravely.
More than 140 Japanese infantrymen advanced to Shangdingzhuang and Xiadingzhuang. Liuqiao Zhuangding Team used two light machine guns and more than 100 rifles to fight against the enemy. From morning to dusk, 8 enemies were killed, and the enemy retreated without support.
Xie Shimao, the former security chief of Dongjingtang Township, who was over 60 years old, commanded more than 100 strong men to fight fiercely against small groups of enemies for days, killing dozens of enemies. Later, there were more and more enemies and there was no support, so he ordered the strong men to move elsewhere. He stayed alone in Jiejia Village to deal with the enemy's burning and killing teams. When he saw a few enemies, he shot them.
As a result, Jiejia Village was not burned and was preserved.
Later, when the officers and soldiers of the Guangdong army left here and returned south, he ignored the slippery roads and held shoes in his left hand and a stick in his right hand to see the troops off. When leaving, he said: "If the strong men have enough bullets, the enemy will definitely not be able to rush in, and Dongjingtang will not be burned."
Guo Yongbiao immediately donated 200 rounds of bullets and promised to ask the government for assistance in the future.
At that time, there were not only strong men but also guns in the countryside around Jurong, so the conditions for guerrilla warfare were fully met. For example, Baohua Township has several light machine guns and more than a thousand rifles, Dai Village has more than 300 rifles, and Maoshan Township has hundreds of armed men.
The township where Langxi Fangli Village is located is even more exaggerated. There are actually 2 mortars, 8 Maxims, and more than a thousand rifles.
Under the organization, mobilization and guidance of the breakout troops, the anti-Japanese war was quickly ignited.
However, the strong men in Maoshan area have long been well organized and powerful, but they work independently and are not connected with each other, so they cannot form a strong force.
Under such a situation, Guo Yongbiao convened a meeting with more than 10 people, including Zhang Renshou, the mayor of Maoshan Township, Tang Xianxiang, the mayor of Dawang Village, Wang Zhiwei, the mayor of Wangzhuang Township, and Wu Zhonghuai and Chen Baogui, the leaders of Maoshan Township. He pointed out their past mistakes, urged them to improve quickly, and organized tightly. , effectively helped each other, and tasked Zhang Renshou to take responsibility and lead the people everywhere to rise up against the enemy.
At the meeting, Wu Zhonghuai stated that they had resisted the Japanese burning and killing squads many times, and had attacked the enemy at night at Tianwang Temple, capturing a lot of baggage, and requested to be commissioned.
Chen Baogui was even more impassioned, beating his chest and shouting: "I, Chen, are 48 years old this year and have failed to do my best for the country. If I don't fight to the death with the Japanese slaves today, what's the use of my old life?"
Guo Yongbiao gave him money to express his condolences and promised to tell the government to appoint them separately to kill enemies for the country. After this meeting, the situation quickly improved.
Meng Shaoyuan did not expect that the anti-Japanese armed forces in Jurong and Maoshan were so powerful.
In this township, there are not only mortars, but also 8 Maxims, which is more powerful than some regular armies.
"However, although Guo Yongbiao is nominally the deputy commander of the guerrilla advance column, he only has a staff background." Zhu Yanni immediately reported: "He has sent telegrams to his superiors many times to ask for military pay, weapons and ammunition, but there is nothing on it except commendations. Actual action. At that time, he generously left 200 bullets for Jiejiacun, but the total number of bullets he had was less than 500."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently.
Those people above talk about one thing but practice another thing. They always talk about developing guerrilla forces and fighting behind enemy lines, but when it comes to actual practice, they don't take these guerrillas seriously at all.
In addition, priority is given to the Central Army, while local miscellaneous troops barely get some soup. These guerrilla armed forces cannot even drink the remaining soup.
Occasionally, when I feel good one day, I replenish the guerrillas with dozens of silver dollars and hundreds of bullets, and I will immediately make a big deal about how much I value them.
"What's missing?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.
"I sent someone to contact Guo Yongbiao, but everything is missing." Zhu Yanni smiled bitterly: "There is a serious lack of funds. If it weren't for Ma Zuolin, a captain of the 159th Division, and Weng Yongnian, a second lieutenant of the 160th Division, who each brought more than 10,000 yuan. Son, Guo Yongbiao simply can't hold on. The food expenses for the officers and soldiers are only 20 cents per person per day, and they have to be shared by the villagers in each village. The 30 yuan detective fee for each township security chief, no matter how difficult the funding is, cannot Less.
And weapons. Guo Yongbiao took in 1,300 to 400 remnant soldiers and organized them into three battalions of guerrilla advancing columns. They only had 400 guns in total and almost no light and heavy machine guns. They were not as good as the strong men in each village and township. "
Is the situation so bad?
Meng Shaoyuan frowned and thought for a while: "Yanni, take your people and evacuate here quickly. Don't go to Taihu Lake. Move to Jurong and Maoshan. How much funding do you have?"
"The funds you provided are sufficient, and there are still more than 30,000 yuan."
"Guo Yongbiao's account for 1,000 people is worth 20,000 yuan. You account for 100 people for 30,000 yuan. You are a rich man." Meng Shaoyuan did not forget to joke: "When you arrive at your destination, find Guo Yongbiao immediately and share the 20,000 yuan." Give it to him. Tell him clearly that I gave it to him. After I arrive in Shanghai, I will immediately send someone to send you the funds."
Zhu Yanni knew very well that Meng Shaoyuan was thinking of guerrilla advance into the column.
This armed force used to be a regular army, and its combat effectiveness is not the same as that of the guerrillas.
"In addition to the necessary funds, I will give you another batch of Japanese yen. They are all fake banknotes, but they are very realistic. You send people to take these money to trade with the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan thought carefully there: "There are also weapons. , Our family has a big business, and the smuggling route in Shanghai has not been interrupted for a day. Give them a batch of weapons and ammunition, don't be stingy."
"I know." Zhu Yanni said immediately, "Are you leaving soon?"
"Yes. Let's leave immediately." Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said, "The situation in Shanghai is urgent and I must go back immediately. Yanni, be careful."
"I'll send someone to take you to Shanghai."
"No need." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You need more manpower here than I do!"
