Chapter 1455 All-weather martial law

Two hours later, all the cadres of the Songhu Independent Regiment above the battalion level had arrived. However, what surprised the several battalion commanders who came for the meeting was that they smelled a strong smell of disinfectant as soon as they entered the regiment headquarters.

Then, the regimental guards took them one by one into the disinfection room and sprayed them with a spray bottle.

After ravaging them again, the regimental guards finally let them go.

Entering the conference room, the battalion commanders were all full of complaints.

"Damn it, what's going on? It makes us so dirty."

"What you said to a dog is really too much. You just sprayed me in the face with potion. It's true."

"What's going on? Why do I feel like something big has happened? There won't be a plague, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you causing a plague? I think the political commissar is preparing for a rainy day."

While more than a dozen battalion commanders were talking, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted loudly: "The regiment commander is here!"

When they heard that the regimental commander had arrived, the dozen or so battalion commanders who were whispering among each other immediately fell silent, and the entire conference room became silent. A moment later, Xu Rui strode in.

"Two things!" Xu Rui walked to the top of the long conference table, sat down and said, "The first thing is that after you return to your respective defense areas, you will immediately implement all-weather martial law. Listen clearly, it is not night martial law, but all-weather martial law.

Martial law! I don’t care who he is or what reasons he has. He is prohibited from taking to the streets without permission from the regiment headquarters!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a battalion commander asked: "Captain, what if he is a foreigner?"

Xu Rui immediately glared and said, "You didn't hear clearly what I just said. What I said was no matter who it was!"

"Yes!" The battalion commander straightened up immediately. No matter who it was, it included foreigners!

"Don't ask me why!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "I can't possibly tell you the reason. In short, until the martial law is lifted, no one except doctors with permission orders will be allowed to go out on the streets!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen battalion commanders stood up in unison, and stood at attention in unison to salute.

Xu Rui pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said: "The second thing is to immediately send troops to seal down all pharmacies in their respective defense areas, whether they are Chinese medicine shops or Western medicine pharmacies run by foreigners or Chinese. They will all be sealed and troops will be sent to guard them.

"Anyone who dares to resist, whether Chinese or foreign, will be shot on the spot!"

It is said that in troubled times, heavy rules must be used. In such an extraordinary period, Xu Rui did not hesitate to be an independent husband. Being an independent husband is nothing more than being scolded by some people whose interests have been harmed. But if you are soft-hearted and indecisive in such critical times, you will be recorded in the history books in the future.

He will be reviled by thousands of his compatriots, but he can still distinguish clearly which is more serious.

Xu Rui glanced around the audience with cold eyes and asked, "Did you hear everything clearly?"

More than a dozen battalion commanders stood up in unison again and responded loudly: "Listen clearly."

"Very good." Xu Rui nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Then let's start taking action."

At that moment, more than a dozen battalion commanders turned around and left. After a while, martial law orders spread from the Broadway Building to the entire Shanghai and surrounding counties.

At this time, the screening at the regiment headquarters has ended.

Liu Mei came to report to Xu Rui: "Captain, the regiment headquarters has found that a total of 18 people have obvious symptoms of typhoid fever, and 36 people have had close contact with the patients, and all of them have been quarantined now."

"Very good." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Old Ye, now you can immediately gather the medical strength of all the hospitals in Shanghai districts, organize as many medical teams as possible, and rush to each district as soon as possible to treat the local people.

Carry out physical examinations, treat diseases if they are sick, and prevent diseases if they are not, and we must control typhoid fever!"

"Yes!" Liu Mei agreed and turned around.

In Yangshupu, a Chinese medicine shop run by a Chinese was just about to close.

Originally, few shops in Shanghai dared to open at night, but since the Songhu Independence Group liberated Shanghai, the gangsters in Shanghai suddenly disappeared, and the public security was much better, so almost all shops began to dare to open at night.

, because drug stores are in the business of treating illnesses and saving lives, they have longer business hours.

This Chinese medicine shop in Yangshupu is even open until after one o'clock in the morning.

The two guys from the drug store moved out the railings and were about to load the clothes when a group of officers and soldiers from an independent regiment suddenly ran in.

Seeing the dozen officers and soldiers of the independent regiment rushing in with loaded ammunition, the two clerks were confused, and the shopkeeper of the medicine shop was also a little confused, but they still had the courage to step forward and asked: "You guys, what are you doing?"

A squad leader who was leading the team stood at attention, saluted the drug store owner with a military salute, and then said seriously: "I have been ordered, from now on, all pharmacies, drug stores, and drug shops in Shanghai and surrounding counties will be sealed! All operations will be stopped.

The shopkeeper and two fellow villagers, you can take care of yourself now."

"Ah?" The shopkeeper and the two waiters were immediately confused. Isn't this an obvious robbery?

As if he heard the voices of the shopkeeper and the two clerks, the squad leader added: "But don't worry, shopkeeper, our independent group will never openly rob. It is just closed due to extraordinary reasons. When the matter is over, the pharmacy will still be returned to you. In the meantime

If certain drugs are requisitioned by us, we will fully compensate them at market prices."

The drug store owner felt a little relieved after hearing this. This was actually equivalent to military control.

At the same time, in the western part of the concession.

A squad from the Baoshan Battalion came to a pharmacy run by the British with guns and ammunition. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment were polite to their compatriots, but they were not so polite to the foreigners.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!" The squad leader leading the team went up and slammed the door hard.

The door of the drugstore was banged by the squad leader. After a few slaps, the squad leader felt his hand hurt, so he immediately signaled the two soldiers following him to come forward and smash it with their guns. The two soldiers immediately turned their rifles upside down and took the jujube wood ones.

The butt of the gun hit the door panel hard, more than a dozen times, and the shop door shattered with a crack.

The squad leader waved his hand again, and a dozen soldiers with guns and ammunition immediately rushed into the drugstore.

At this moment, the British owner of the store had just gotten up and came down from the second floor with a revolver. Unexpectedly, he saw a dozen armed Chinese soldiers rushing into the business hall of the store. The British store owner was immediately dumbfounded and followed a man who was awakened.

The British manager and the two Chinese clerks were also dumbfounded. What is going on?

The officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Battalion who rushed in were not dumbfounded. When they saw a British man standing at the top of the stairs holding a revolver, the squad leader and a dozen soldiers immediately raised their rifles. With a dozen black muzzles, they immediately aimed at the British man.

The man, the squad leader shouted even louder: "Put down your weapons, hold your head in your hands, and squat down!"

The British shopkeeper looked confused. He couldn't understand Chinese.

The squad leader thought that the British shopkeeper wanted to resist, so he immediately opened the gun with a click.

This frightened the two Chinese employees, and they hurriedly gave the British shop owner an example by squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. Only then did the British shop owner finally understand, and he no longer cared about the so-called British gentleman's dignity.

He quickly threw away the pistol and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. It was more important to save his life than to save his life.

The squad leader stepped forward, picked up the revolver, and kicked the British shopkeeper to the ground. Then with a wave of his hand, a dozen soldiers with live ammunition immediately guarded the entire pharmacy.

French Concession, Gongguan Road.

A very luxuriously decorated European-style carriage was speeding along the road. The people on this carriage were none other than the French commander Butler in Shanghai and his mistress. Butler was an old man, but he

His mistress was a young and beautiful Belarusian, so Butler always loved her very much.

Just now, Butler was taking his young and beautiful mistress to a dance. As a result, in the middle of the dance, his mistress suddenly felt dizzy. How could Butler dare to neglect and quickly asked the Vietnamese servant to put on his clothes?

A private carriage to take his mistress to the best Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai for medical consultation.

However, when passing through an intersection on Gongguan Road, they were blocked.

A group of armed Chinese soldiers guarded the intersection and did not allow carriages to pass. Two Vietnamese servants negotiated with the Chinese for a long time to no avail. Butler had no choice but to come forward in person. The only good thing was that martial law was implemented in the French Concession.

, so the Chinese army is actually equipped with a French translator.

"Your Excellency, General, I am sorry to inform you." The French translator was gentle, but the words he said were very tough, "Just fifteen minutes ago, our Songhu Independent Regiment had implemented an all-weather attack on the urban area of ​​Shanghai and surrounding counties.

Martial law, no one is allowed to go out on the streets unless you have a special pass issued by our regiment."

Butler felt sorry for his mistress, and he was used to living a high-class life in Shanghai. How could he withstand the control of the Chinese?

At that moment, Butler said angrily: "Fuck the round-the-clock martial law. You yellow-skinned monkeys also want to control us French people? I'll give you fifteen seconds. If you don't get out of the way within fifteen seconds, what will happen as a result?"

You are responsible for all consequences! Now I start counting, one, two, three..."

As a result, the Chinese soldiers guarding the intersection ignored him.

Butler immediately gave the order to break through, but the Chinese soldiers guarding the intersection raised their guns without hesitation, and the heavy machine guns behind the barricades immediately turned their muzzles and aimed their black muzzles at the carriage.

Butler was so angry that he immediately called a street phone booth and called a company from the French army station.

However, when Butler's company transferred from the French army station arrived at the intersection, reinforcements from the Independent Regiment also arrived. A whole company of reinforcements quickly occupied the high points on both sides of the intersection, posing as if they would not hesitate to fight.

Butler's attitude made Butler angry. He didn't have the guts to fight an independent group.
