Jiang Nan sighed: "It seems that our plan must be adjusted. We were a little too optimistic before."
"I think so too." Wang Husheng nodded and continued, "Our estimate of the difficulties is indeed somewhat inadequate. The veterans of the National Army who are stranded in Shanghai may still have the will to resist the war, but they are not as strong as they were at the beginning.
, many veterans have even married and had children, so their will to fight is even weaker."
Xu Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "Why, you gave up so quickly?"
"Old Xu, this is not called giving up." Wang Husheng said, "This is called recognizing reality and facing reality."
"Reality?" Xu Rui said, "The reality is that two million compatriots in the Public Concession and the French Concession are suffering from hunger. The reality is that tens of millions of compatriots in Shanghai Huajie, Songhu area and even the entire Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas are suffering from hunger.
They were ravaged by the iron hoof of the bandits, and they were looking forward to rescue all the time."
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "Compared to the common people, the veterans of the National Army who were stranded in the concession had a stronger desire to fight the war. The reason why they were very indifferent to joining the Hurricanes was not that they were unwilling to participate, nor that they did not want to fight the Japanese.
, but because they have no confidence in the Kuomintang."
Wang Husheng said: "I'm afraid we have the same lack of confidence in our Communist Party."
"I admit this." Xu Rui nodded and said, "The Songhu detachment and the Shanghai underground party suffered heavy losses before, which has seriously damaged the image of our party and our party's armed forces. Therefore, the veterans of the National Army who are stranded in Shanghai have no regard for us.
Confidence, this is completely understandable.”
Wang Husheng said: "Isn't this what Jiangnan and I said? The situation is not as optimistic as we imagined, so we need to make corresponding adjustments?"
"There is no need to adjust, our plan is appropriate." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "What is missing now is a flag. As long as a flag is erected, not to mention the tens of thousands of National Army veterans stranded in the concession, it will be the public concession, the law
The enthusiasm of the refugees in the concession and the compatriots in the entire Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area will be ignited, and by that time, the devils in the entire Shanghai and even the entire Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area will be plunged into the vast sea of people's war!"
The vast ocean of people's war? Jiangnan's heart beats.
"Put up a flag?" Wang Husheng frowned and said, "The question is, where can I find such a flag?"
"We have found it." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Gujun Camp is a suitable flag."
"Gujun Camp?" Wang Husheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then his expression dimmed again. He frowned and said, "The problem is that Gujun Camp is now detained in the concession, guarded by Italian troops and Belarusian mercenaries, and we lack enough manpower.
, it is very difficult to rescue them, and even if the lone army camp is rescued, they may not be willing to listen to us."
Xu Rui said happily: "Old Wang, you must not have thought that the killer Ma Wangye who assassinated me today was the one who slipped through the net in Gujun Camp. He has told me clearly that as long as I can find a way to rescue Gujun Camp,
Brother, they can accept the leadership of our party, so now there is only one question left, when will we start to save people?"
"Really?" Wang Husheng said fiercely, "That's really great."
Jiang Nan said: "However, it is not easy for us to rescue the Lone Army Camp."
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "Jiangnan, you are wrong. It is actually easy to rescue the lone army camp. The British army, Italian army and White Russian mercenaries guarding the prison are only about 20 people. Digua can easily kill them all alone."
,So, if we really decide to save people, we can do so at any time."
Digua asked in confusion: "Commander, since it is easy to save people, why doesn't the Nationalist government rescue the Gujun camp?"
"Because they didn't dare." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Or to be more precise, Chairman Chiang did not dare to offend the British, because by rescuing the Gujun camp, he had offended the British. Chairman Chiang also pointed at the British
People can speak out for the National Government and support it at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, but how dare they offend the British?"
Xu Rui is telling the truth. Historically, although the Lone Army Camp was disarmed, if it wanted to break out, it would be impossible to stop it with just the dozens of British troops guarding the prison and the White Russian mercenaries. Therefore, if Comrade Chiang Kai-shek
The commander made up his mind that the Lone Army Battalion actually had a chance to break out of the public concession and then return to the National Army structure.
However, Chairman Chiang never dared to make this determination.
Because Chairman Chiang felt that compared to the British government's attitude towards China, the lives and deaths of more than 400 National Army soldiers were nothing at all, and the sacrifice was worth it.
Digua spat lightly and said, "Chairman Chiang is really bad."
Wang Husheng said: "It is indeed not difficult to rescue the lone army, but the subsequent problems are difficult to deal with."
"Old Wang, what you said is on point." Xu Rui said, "The difficult thing is how to put up the flag of Gujunying. If you want to put up the flag of Gujunying, you must create a big enough explosive
The news should preferably be enough to shock the whole of Shanghai and even China, and even announce to the whole world the collective return of the eight hundred warriors of Sihang Warehouse."
Wang Husheng said: "News is not a problem. The collective escape of the Gujun Camp is already big news. The difficulty lies in the reorganization of the Gujun Camp after the escape and how to carry out the war of resistance? According to Lao Xu, we will fight urban guerrillas in Shanghai from now on.
, then the lone army camp is bound to be unable to leave the city of Shanghai, so how can they escape the Japanese army? *** Nan Ye said: "Yes, without a stable base, this battle cannot be fought at all.
?”
"Is it a stable base?" Xu Rui touched his chin and suddenly said, "Yes."
Wang Husheng immediately asked: "What can we do?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "It will be kept secret for now."
(Dividing line)
An abandoned military camp on the western edge of the French Concession is the detention center of Lone Army Camp.
Xie Yuanzheng, the battalion commander of the Gujun Battalion, led more than 400 brothers to practice on the playground.
After the Gujun Camp was detained, the officers and soldiers had nothing to do and problems were prone to occur, so Xie Yuan formulated an extremely strict training plan for the Gujun Camp, even more stringent than before.
Just halfway through the training, a tall and powerful White Russian mercenary came to the playground and told Xie Yuan that someone was coming to visit the prison. Xie Yuan didn't think much about it. Ever since Gujun Camp was detained in the concession, people visited him almost every day.
Patriots came to visit the prisoner and sent condolences and medicines to the lonely army camp.
However, the quantity of these condolences and medicines is not large, and most of them will be corrupted by the British troops or White Russian mercenaries who are guarding them. Very few of them will actually fall into the hands of their lone army camp. Therefore, their life in the lone army camp has always been very difficult.
, even the most basic food and clothing cannot be solved.
But then again, something is better than nothing, right?
So after receiving the notice from the Belarusian mercenaries, Captain Xie Yuan happily came to the visiting room.
However, after entering the visiting room, Xie Yuan unexpectedly discovered that the person who came was not a patriot from Shanghai, but his old subordinate Ye Ming. At that moment, Xie Yuan calmly sat down at the visiting seat. This was not Ye Ming's first
This time I came here. In fact, Ye Ming had already been to Gujun Camp many times and had also sent a lot of supplies.
Ye Ming gave the guarding White Russian mercenary a five-dollar bill, and the White Russian mercenary left happily.
Only Ye Ming and Xie Yuan were left in the visiting room. Ye Ming whispered: "There is something good going on in the camp."
"A good thing?" Xie Yuanye whispered, "You did another big job? Did you earn a lot of commission?"
"What good thing can a few bad dollars do?" Ye Ming smiled and said, "I mean, our lone camp will soon regain its freedom."
"What?" Xie Yuan was displeased when he heard this and said sternly, "Adjutant Ye, please don't act recklessly!"
Xie Yuan also said that this kid Ye Ming couldn't hold himself back and wanted to take risks to rob the prison alone. This was not possible.
"Yingzuo, don't get excited." Ye Ming quickly signaled Xie Yuan to calm down, and then said, "Listen to me and speak slowly."
Now Ye Ming will accept the assassination commission of No. 76 and then meet Xu Rui, and tell the truth.
After hearing this, Xie Yuan said: "You kid, I'm not telling you, at least you looked at the target when you accepted the task. You can also accept the task on the 76th? Fortunately, you didn't succeed this time, otherwise you
Doesn’t it mean that I have become a traitor’s lackey and accomplice? If that is the case, from now on you will not recognize me as your commander.”
Ye Ming said with a shy face: "Isn't this a killing?"
"Fortunately, we didn't kill him." Xie Yuan glared at Ye Ming, then frowned, and said, "But, is this Xu Rui you said reliable? Can he really rescue us?"
"It's definitely possible." Ye Ming said with great certainty, "Bingzhu, you are detained in the lone military camp, so you don't know, but if you go outside and ask, almost everyone in Shanghai doesn't know about Xu Rui. Speaking of this
Xu Rui is so famous, let me put it this way, almost twenty Japanese generals died under him alone."
Xie Yuan has been detained here together with the Solitary Army Camp since the Battle of Songhu. He has completely lost contact with the outside world, so he really doesn’t know what happened in front of him. After hearing this, he said in disbelief: "What? What did you say? This
Xu Rui, there were almost twenty Japanese generals who died under him?"
"That's not what it is." Ye Ming immediately recounted what he had read about Xu Rui's deeds in the newspaper.
Xie Yuan didn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing this. It wasn't until Ye Ming called him twice in succession that he finally woke up like a dream.
After waking up, Xie Yuan said: "If this is the case, this Xu Rui might actually be able to rescue us."
"But there is one condition for the camp seat." Ye Ming lowered his head and whispered, "They said that after our lone camp regains its freedom, it must accept the command of the Communist Party."
"There is still this condition." Xie Yuan frowned immediately after hearing this.
Ye Ming was afraid that Xie Yuan would not agree, so he immediately advised: "Bingzhao, anyway, I have seen through it a long time ago. The National Government and Chairman Chiang have forgotten us a long time ago. They will not offend the British for our lonely camp, so instead of
Being detained in the French Concession and wasting your life like this is a waste of time. You might as well just join the Communist Party."
