The roar of the Dragon Boat Festival caused all the soldiers present to lose their voices.
Because Duanwu was right, they were the last lone army in Shanghai. If they also withdrew, it would have declared the complete fall of Shanghai.
"Tuanzuo, then we won't leave. We will fight the little devil to the bitter end!"
At this moment, Zhu Shengzhong raised his right hand high and roared fiercely.
"Yes, we won't leave. We will fight the Japanese invaders to the end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!..."
Led by Zhu Shengzhong, the soldiers roared, and their nerves were once again ignited by the Dragon Boat Festival.
And they didn't know why, they just wanted to go home and escape from this damn place. But just a moment later, amidst the roar and roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, it started roaring again.
The blood in their bodies is burning and boiling! They raised their weapons high and let out terrifying roars!
Zhao Beishan and Xie Jinyuan also took a deep breath. Because I have to say that the man next to them is really a monster. A few casual words can turn a group of soldiers into beasts in an instant.
Is this the charm of madness?
They dare not imagine that if they continue to follow the man in front of them, they will become crazy.
They laughed to themselves because they never thought that one day, they would be associated with the word 'madman'.
However, unexpectedly, Dragon Boat Festival also laughed at this time, and he laughed so hard that his stomach hurt from laughing.
"...Brother Duanwu, you are making us a little uncomfortable."
Xie Jinyuan shook his head speechlessly at the side, and Zhao Beishan also said: "Sooner or later, you will drive us crazy."
Duanwu stopped laughing for a while and said, "I'm afraid you will lose your spirit."
Having said this, Duanwu once again said to all the soldiers: "Retreating is to avoid unnecessary casualties, not this battle. We will not fight. Now listen to my order!"
All soldiers stood at attention.
Duanwu said: "Order all the wounded to enter the British concession to recuperate, order the new military camp to disband on the spot and return to the concession..."
"Team members, we are not leaving!"
"Yes, Tuanzuo, we can still fight!"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, the wounded soldiers and new soldiers shouted at the same time.
Duanwu held on to the iron railing and said with a warm smile: "Are you stupid? I am going to die next, and you will follow me?"
"Follow Danzao to the death! Follow Danzao to the death!..."
All the soldiers shouted in unison.
Duanwu signaled all the soldiers to stop, and then said: "Brothers, although I intend to fight to the death, don't I lead my brothers to death? If we want to rush out, we need to lighten the burden.
Wounded soldiers will affect our marching speed, and the inexperience of new recruits will put the entire unit at risk.
So listen to my orders, recruits, lightly wounded, carry seriously wounded, enter the concession, and disarm on the spot, but I don't want you to become a lion in a cage. Disband on the spot and live like an ordinary citizen for me. One day, I will come back to pick you up! "
"Ooooo! But we don't want to leave, Danzao?"
The soldiers cried like a three-year-old child.
Duanwu smiled, and then shouted loudly: "Fools! Today's farewell is for our reunion tomorrow! Listen to me, even though you have left the independent group, don't be lazy. I don't want to do it again next time When I saw you, you still looked like a bear today!
The Chinese cannot be defeated, and China cannot be destroyed! ..."
"well!......"
The new soldiers and wounded soldiers roared for the last time like the Dragon Boat Festival. As they stared at Dragon Boat Festival, they seemed to want to shout out their throats.
Every one of them burst into tears. They slowly raised their right hands to pay final tribute to the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival salute also expresses our highest respect to these soldiers. Although they left at this time, they were not cowards or deserters. They are just the kindling fire preserved by the independent regiment.
One day, these fires will burn again.
"Shangguan Shibiao!"
At this moment, Duanwu roared loudly.
Shangguan Zhibiao was hiding behind several stacked wooden boxes. He was also wounded, but he didn't want to leave, so he hid.
But when the leader called him, there was nothing he could do. He could only come out, stand at attention and salute: "The leader!"
"you come up!"
Dragon Boat Festival signaled Shangguan Zhibiao to go upstairs.
Shangguan Zhibiao was overjoyed and said to himself: The leader has no intention of driving him away. So can I stay on my own?
He hurriedly ran upstairs, only to see Duanwu writing something. Then he stuffed what he wrote into an envelope.
Shangguan Zhibiao was puzzled and was about to ask why. Duanwu put her arm around his shoulders and went to the window and said, "I'm giving you a task now, can you complete it?"
Shangguan Zhibiao stood at attention and saluted, and said resolutely: "Promise to complete the task."
Duanwu said: "Very well, this task is very difficult and dangerous. If you are afraid of death, then I allow you to refuse."
Shangguan Zhibiao stood at attention again, held his head high and said: "Don't worry, our members, even if I die, I, Shangguan Zhibiao, will complete the mission!"
Duanwu patted Shangguan Zhibiao's shoulder and said approvingly: "I knew I was right. Keep this letter in your pocket and hand it to the British consul around eight o'clock tonight. Before that, don't say anything. He said. If he wants to ask me, just say that I am preparing something, do you understand?"
"Tanzuo, I won't leave. Do you want me to stay?"
Shangguan Zhibiao heard the meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival words.
"Fool, do you think your mission is that simple? Let me ask you, how many new soldiers plus wounded soldiers are there in total?"
Duanwu asked back, Shangguan Zhibiao thought for a moment, and then said in surprise: "There are probably more than three hundred people, right?"
Duanwu said: "That's right. Among the more than 300 people, more than 100 are veterans. Although more than 200 people are recruits, they have been on the battlefield. If this army is lurking in the British Concession. Think about it. , will this be a surprise force?
So you stay here, I'm not asking you to live happily here. You need to train these soldiers under the eyes of the British and Japanese, keep them with high fighting spirit, and make them an eagle that can win the war at any time. Can you do it? "
"able!"
Shangguan Zhibiao straightened his back again and replied loudly.
"Very good, but you have to remember that this task is very difficult and very dangerous. You not only have to be wary of the Japanese, but also the British.
And when facing your enemy, you not only need courage, but also wisdom.
Here are ten gold bars for you to take away. Once the time comes, buy a batch of short guns for self-defense. "
As Duanwu said, he took out ten gold bars from the box and gave them to Shangguan Zhibiao.
Shangguan Zhibiao was very grateful to Duanwu for his trust, and saluted to Duanwu and to the old chief Xie Jinyuan. Then he went downstairs.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan smiled and said: "Brother Duanwu, you really have a way! Shangguan Zhibiao is not a person who can be easily persuaded!..."
