This riverside land is covered with reeds. Although it is already the middle of winter and most of the reeds are dead, such a large reed swamp is more than enough to hide hundreds of people.
The remnants of Baoshan Camp's No. 100 soldiers are hiding here at the moment, and Liu Tiezhu's guard platoon has also followed.
Cao Xing Totoro approached Yue Weihan with his waist bent, and asked, "Why don't you leave the camp? It's not far from Zhabei, and the Japs' pursuers may come up at any time."
"We can't go any further." Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "It's almost dawn, and the little devil's plane is coming soon. If we go further, there will be no cover in the open land, not even a forest. We can't do it at all.
If you escape the reconnaissance of the Japanese aircraft, once your whereabouts are exposed, the Japanese bombers will arrive soon, as well as their infantry, and that will be a dead end!"
Cao Xinglong frowned and said, "But hiding here is not an option. What will we do if the Japanese infantry catch up?"
Yue Weihan said suddenly: "The little devils are not the howling dogs under the throne of Erlang God. Their noses are not that sharp. Besides, there are so many reeds in the river ponds in Xixiao, Shanghai. It is impossible for them to find our hiding place before dark."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Tiezhu, the guard platoon leader, walked over again and said, "At the camp, Chief Liu, please come over."
"Sir Liu?" Yue Weihan didn't react for a moment and frowned, "What is it, Chief Liu?"
"Uh..." Liu Tiezhu quickly scratched his head and explained, "He is your confidential secretary, Second Lieutenant Liu Xin."
"Her?" Yue Weihan frowned, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know." Liu Tiezhu shook his head and said, "I just asked you to come over because it's urgent."
"Tell brothers, be careful." Yue Weihan ordered to Cao Xinglong, and then followed Liu Tiezhu to the depths of the reed marsh. He saw that Liu Xin had already set up the radio station. At this moment, the radio station was beeping non-stop.
Seeing Yue Weihan, Liu Xin immediately put down his earplugs and said happily: "The camp has been contacted by the war zone commander's department."
However, Yue Weihan's expression suddenly changed. He rushed up and unplugged the power cord of the radio station, and then shouted sharply: "What are you doing? You big-breasted and brainless girl, are you looking for death!? Who told you to turn on the radio?
Yes? Do you know that the radio waves will summon the little devils? Do you want to kill the brothers or what?"
"I, I..." Liu Xin's beautiful eyes turned red instantly, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Okay, okay." Yue Weihan was most afraid of women crying, so he quickly asked with a grimace, "How long has the radio been on?"
Liu Xin did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "It has been more than ten minutes since the machine was turned on. The division headquarters I contacted first was still unreachable. When I was about to contact the group army headquarters, I received a radio signal from the theater commander's headquarters."
"Ten minutes?" Yue Weihan sighed, "Oh, it's over, it's enough for the little devil to capture our signal."
Liu Xin said aggrievedly: "Bing Zuo, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted to truthfully report the situation of our battalion to the division headquarters. Please send troops to meet us as soon as possible..."
"Okay, I can't blame you for this." Yue Weihan smiled bitterly, "I had a bad attitude just now, so I shouldn't have scolded you."
After that, Yue Weihan said to Liu Tiezhu: "Go and ask Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dagen to come see me immediately."
"Yes." Liu Tiezhu took the order, and soon, the three company commanders came to Yue Weihan's side in a dodgy manner.
Yue Weihan stood up suddenly and quickly regained his composure. He said loudly: "Dalong Dagen, Lao Chi, our whereabouts have most likely been exposed. In half an hour at most, the Japs' infantry will catch up."
, so we can’t hide here any longer, we have to leave right away.”
"But the camp..." Cao Xinglong said anxiously, "You just said that the Japanese plane..."
"We can't worry about that much anymore." Yue Weihan said coldly, "Although the Japanese planes are difficult to deal with, as long as we act separately, their threat will be much smaller, and the casualties of our brothers can be reduced to a minimum! But if you are careful
If we're lucky enough to stay here, if the Japs' infantry catches up, then our whole army will be wiped out."
With that said, Yue Weihan pointed to the faint mountain peak in the distance to the west and said, "Have you seen that mountain?"
"Grandma, that mountain is not close." Chi Chengfeng said, "I guess we have to wait until dark before we can get there."
Yue Weihan said: "Now you take your respective companies, I will take the guard platoon, and we will split up. If we encounter a Japanese plane, we will divide our troops again. We must not let the little Japanese find out our true intentions. Tell the brothers, we have one mission now."
, run! Run as hard as you can! After dark, we will meet at the foot of the mountain in front."
"Yes." Cao Xinglong and the other two agreed at the same time, then turned and left.

Yue Weihan's caution finally allowed Baoshan Camp to escape disaster!
Speaking of which, the telecommunications listening vehicle is not a standard equipment of the Japanese Army. However, in order to thoroughly investigate the origin of the dozen oxygen tanks in the Baoshan Camp, the Japanese Special High School and the National Security Bureau conducted an unprecedented and brutal secret operation in various concessions in Shanghai.
During the war, in order to deal with the agents of the National Secret Service, the Special High School Division specially transferred two telecommunications listening vehicles from China.
Just when Liu Xin turned on the radio and wanted to get in touch with Shangfeng, the two telecommunications listening vehicles monitored the signal almost at the same time. The Japanese agents of the Special High School were not vegetarians either. Based on various clues, they quickly came to a conclusion.
, this radio signal was sent from the Baoshan Battalion that broke out of Sihang Warehouse, and the approximate location of the Baoshan Battalion was quickly telegraphed to the Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters and the 9th Division Regiment Headquarters.
The Central China Front Army Headquarters and the 9th Division Regiment Headquarters of the Japanese Army responded quickly.
General Matsui Iwane and Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke hated this China Baoshan Battalion, which had repeatedly caused the Imperial Japanese Army to lose face. They immediately ordered the Air Force directly under the Front Army to send two reconnaissance planes to fly to the Special High School Institute.
We conducted low-altitude reconnaissance in the determined general direction, and at the same time ordered two aviation bomber squadrons to assemble and be on standby, ready to take off for bombing at any time.
The new commander of the 36th Regiment, Nakagawa Hiroshi Saya, who was rushing to Zhabei to take up his post, sent a telegram to order the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Infantry Brigades to quickly advance to the direction designated by the Special High School Course. Nakagawa Hiroshi Sakuya knew very well that China Baoshan Battalion
Now he has become a thorn in the side of the Imperial Japanese Army. If he can annihilate them this time, he will definitely be appreciated by General Yoshika Ryosuke and General Matsui Iwane, and his promotion will be just around the corner.

Nanjing, Songhu Theater Commander's Department.
Gu Zhutong, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater, entered the telecommunications office excitedly and asked impatiently: "Baoshan Camp, Baoshan Camp has really been contacted?"
"Maintendent, we have indeed been contacted." The director of the Telecommunications Department hurriedly greeted him.
"Take me there quickly." Gu Zhutong said urgently, "I want to have a direct conversation with Baoshan Camp and Yue Weihan. Hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a telegraph operator came up to the director of the Telecommunications Department and Gu Zhutong with a dark face and said: "Maintain, the communication with Baoshan Camp has been interrupted again."
"Interrupted?" Gu Zhutong said angrily, "What's going on?"
"The signal was cut off over there." The operator lowered his head and responded, "We called dozens of times, but there was still no response there. It seems that there is something wrong there."
"Is there a problem?" Gu Zhutong's expression changed slightly and he asked, "What's the problem?"
The Director of the Telecommunications Department lowered his voice and said: "Main Officer, could it be that the Japs are catching up with us again? Baoshan Camp had to cut off contact in order to move."
"Keep calling me," Gu Zhutong said solemnly, "until the call is connected again!"
…………
Shanghai West Effect.
Baoshan Battalion had just divided its forces when a buzzing roar came from the eastern sky. Immediately, two Japanese reconnaissance planes flew out of the clouds. The Japanese planes circled twice in the sky, and one of them actually headed straight towards Yue Weihan.
The guard platoon he led swooped down. This Japanese reconnaissance plane had really good judgment.
As the Japanese plane quickly approached, the huge roar of the plane's engine almost pierced everyone's eardrums.
Before Yue Weihan and Liu Tiezhu could give orders, the soldiers in the guard platoon had already fallen to the ground driven by instinct.
Yue Weihan suddenly turned livid with anger, kicked a veteran on the raised buttocks, and said angrily: "Get up, get the hell up, this is just a Japanese reconnaissance plane! Not a bomber!"
"Da da da……"
Before he finished speaking, a hail of machine gun bullets rained down from the Japanese reconnaissance plane. Yue Weihan, who was standing on the ground, was fine, but the veteran lying at his feet was shot instead. Dark red blood suddenly gurgled out of his vest.
, two veterans rushed forward, picked up the veteran who was shot, and left.
Yue Weihan took two steps forward, reached out and touched the veteran's crotch, and said coldly: "Okay, it's hopeless."
Without saying a word, the two veterans immediately abandoned the shot veteran and turned around to leave. It wasn't that they were ruthless, and they didn't want to abandon the bodies of their comrades, but all idiots knew that the living were more important than the dead.
No one is willing to do this kind of loss-making business at the expense of the precious lives of more brothers.
Liu Xin, who was following Yue Weihan, said anxiously: "Yingzuo, he's not dead yet."
"I know he's not dead!" Yue Weihan said coldly, "But he has become incontinent and is hopeless."
At this time, Liu Tiezhu rushed up panting and said: "At the camp, the Japanese plane is coming again... again."
Yue Weihan raised his head and saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane swooping down again. He cursed in his heart and ordered Liu Tiezhu: "Tell the brothers to break out separately in groups of three and arrive at the scheduled assembly point before dark!"
"Yes." Liu Tiezhu immediately accepted the order and left. Yue Weihan turned back to Liu Xin and the two recruits Danzi who were helping Liu Xin carry the radio and hand-operated generator and said, "Follow closely, don't fall behind."
"Oops." As soon as Yue Weihan finished speaking, Liu Xin suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
"Get up." Yue Weihan couldn't help but pick up Liu Xin, but before he could let go, Liu Xin slumped back to the ground, and then said with a bitter face: "Sir, I sprained my foot.
Already."
"Sprained ankle!? Women are trouble!" Yue Weihan took two deep breaths, and suddenly bent down and carried Liu Xin on his shoulders like a sack. After that, he patted Liu Xin's plump buttocks.
With a slap in the face, he turned back to the two new recruits and roared, "Why are you still standing there? Wait for death, let's go!"
