Chapter 107 Entering the city

Behind the railway station platform is a small forest growing along the train tracks. There is a small open space beside the woods. Usually, it is used to temporarily store some goods that have not had time to get on the train, but now it has become a temporary station for a battalion.

"Give you ten minutes! We all hurry up and eat and drink water. After that, we change our clothes and prepare to enter the city!" Cheng Ge climbed onto two gasoline barrels placed side by side and ordered loudly.

The officers and soldiers below were in a mess, some were eating steamed buns with kettles, some were lying on the ground to rest, and some were gathered together to smoke. Everyone knew that they would have to spend the whole day entering the city, and they were all enjoying this rare leisure time seriously.

Compared to the head of the Fifth War Zone who threw them on the train and ignored them, the people in charge of receiving the reception in Wuhan were much better. Not only did they prepare enough drinking water, but each of the officers and soldiers of the first battalion could also be divided into two steamed buns that were as big as fists. This was much better than the past mixed grain bread. The kind of cake was said to be mixed grain but mixed with some strange things. It was hard and unpalatable. It also had a strange taste like eating sand when chewed. Eating too much will not only cause sores to the mouth and tongue, but it would be a little more painful than usual to go to a large size.

After Cheng Ge issued the order, he hurriedly followed the lieutenant colonel to the open space near the woods. There were many wooden boxes piled up here, and a platoon of military police were guarding the surroundings.

Seeing the lieutenant colonel coming, the second lieutenant in the military police did not speak, and picked up a crowbar and pried open a box at his feet with a "click".

The box was a new yellow-green military uniform, but the badge and rank of the person he belonged to had not been printed on it. As the second lieutenant pried open the other boxes around him one by one, even the steady Cheng Ge breathed a little heavier.

What appeared in Cheng Ge's eyes were brand new military uniforms, black rubber-soled cloth shoes, and stacked German steel helmets. They were stuffed into wooden boxes, emitting an attractive light.

"Get rich!" Xu Guanghui's eyes shone with excitement in his eyes beside Cheng Ge. Since leaving the 88th Division, Xu Guanghui has never had the chance to change into a neat German-style equipment to welcome the envious eyes of his brothers.

"In addition to military uniforms and helmets, there are also backpacks, military blankets, rain gears and other miscellaneous things." Seeing the joy in Cheng Ge, Xu Guanghui and the others' eyes, the lieutenant colonel smiled and pointed to the piles of boxes piled behind.

"The above means that you can enter the city with the best appearance, so you can change your clothes here." The Lieutenant Colonel added: "But there are only equipment such as clothes, and no weapons and ammunition."

Cheng Ge and Xu Guanghui looked at each other and saw something from each other's eyes. After all, as directly affiliated with the Fifth War Zone, they said they were the Central Army, but they were actually not considered the son of the top. It was a good benefit to be able to change clothes and have a steel helmet. They did not intend to change their guns and cannons when they came to Wuhan, not to mention that their equipment itself was not too bad.

"Wait~" Xu Guanghui picked up a German-style helmet and tapped it with his fingers. The helmet made a crisp sound. Looking at the exquisite blue sky and white sun emblem on the side of the helmet, Xu Guanghui couldn't help but sigh:

"We fought against this thing in Shanghai back then, but we blocked a lot of shells, gravels, and other things. We haven't worn them for a long time, and I really miss you."

The lieutenant colonel seemed to have thought of something and waved to the second lieutenant of the military police guarding the supplies: "Where is the cloth bag I sent here together before?"

"Oh, here, sir." The lieutenant turned around and picked up a sackcloth pocket from the two boxes and handed it over.

The lieutenant colonel said embarrassedly: "This is your medal. All officers of your battalion can receive a medal of loyalty and courage. Your battalion commander has a medal of sixth grade Yunhui. I was very anxious when I left, so I had to put it in a cloth bag. I'm really sorry."

"Uh," Cheng Ge was stunned for a moment, and still took the bag with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Brothers have medals. I didn't expect that, thank you, sir."

The lieutenant colonel also smiled: "Then let the deputy battalion commander Lao Cheng send it on his behalf, and then organize the brothers to prepare to enter the city?"

"Okay." Cheng Ge nodded to Xu Guanghui.

"All collection!"

...

After the dressing was replaced, the first battalion of the spy regiment was completed outside the city, and entered the Wuhan city one after another in the order of the first company, second company, third company, battalion headquarters and direct troops.

When they entered the city, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion finally truly realized what the prestige is.

A large group of people who heard the news and watched the bustle and reporters who came to grab the news had already gathered on the street. When they saw teams of soldiers from the Chinese army stepping into the city in an orderly manner, the people on the street burst into cheers.

The Military Commission had deliberately released news that this time the heroic troops who entered the city had fought the Taierzhuang victory, and were transferred back to Wuhan for training because of some tasks. Because other Taierzhuang troops still stayed around Xuzhou and fought bloody battles, the first battalion of the secret service regiment that entered the city and appeared in front of the people became a passionate outlet for everyone.

An excited student stood on the platform and began to shout slogans such as "Long live the Chinese nation!" and "Defeat imperialism and drive the Japanese invaders out of China". While throwing leaflets to the welcome crowd, calling on everyone to ignite the enthusiasm for fighting Japan and saving the country.

The enthusiasm and voices of the young students obviously infected the people around them, men, women, elderly people, and children, and shouted slogans of fighting against Japan and saving the nation. Some people burst into tears as they shouted. Who said that the common people could not feel the hatred of the country?

Some older grandparents kept stuffing the eggs and pastries they could not bear to eat for their grandsons in their hands, and kept stuffing them into the officers and soldiers’ pockets.

"It's delicious, delicious! Fight the Japanese when you're full! Avenge your revenge on our Chinese people!"

Looking at the officers and soldiers wearing steel helmets, clean and tidy yellow-green military uniforms, with rifles and brand new backpacks on their backs, it seemed that everyone had a belief in their hearts, a belief that they could certainly drive away the Japanese devils.

The infantry formation in front passed, followed by the troops directly under the battalion headquarters. The machine gun platoon leader Wu Weiguo was in a big light this time.

It was said to be a machine gun platoon, but in fact the mortar in the battalion and the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon that had never been used were later under their control. When they carried heavy machine guns, mortars, and dragged an infantry cannon to the front of the people, it directly triggered the climax of the onlookers.

It should be the thought that emerged from the heads of the brothers in the machinery repair center. When the Type 92 infantry cannon was sent to the first battalion, the Japanese were painted with red suns, but a big fork was made with black paint on the plaster flag, and a national army's own blue sky and white sun emblem was sprayed next to it.

Now ordinary people who don’t know weapons can also see that this cannon was seized by Chinese officers and soldiers from the Japanese. How could it be so cool to use the captured Japanese cannons to bombard the Japanese?
