After that, Gui Longhai pointed out several roads in succession. But Brigadier Huang told him that these roads passed through the Patriotic Girls' School, Hujiang University, Girls' Middle School, Wuzhou Cemetery, etc., and all led to the Japanese Marine Corps.
All the roads were occupied by the Japanese army and fortifications were built. These roads are impossible to pass! Unless we fight them!
Brigadier Huang looked at him seriously, "First Commander Guike, do you have any idea?"
Gui Longhai tilted his mouth and whispered: "Captain Huang, we can't take the main road. Then we can only go through the small streets, alleys and alleys, get through, or go around."
Brigadier Huang said: "Are you familiar with these small streets, alleys and alleys?"
Gui Longhai grinned at him and said, "Commander Huang, I am a native of Shanghai, and I work as a police officer. I am familiar with every street and alley in Shanghai. Do you want me to give you something?"
Will the army lead the way?"
Brigadier Huang nodded vigorously, "Exactly!"
He asked: "When?"
Brigadier Huang said: "Now! Can you do it?"
Gui Longhai stood at attention and said: "No problem! I promise to bring it before dawn!"
Brigadier Huang turned around and shouted: "Liu Hongshen!"
I heard a loud voice from the other side of the door: "Here we come!"
A tall, strong lieutenant colonel officer strode forward and stood at attention and saluted them.
Brigadier Huang said: "First Commander Guike, this is Liu Hongshen and Liu Yingchang. Please lead Liu Yingchang to the intersection of Sichuan Road and Dongjiangwan Road before dawn!" He pointed to the location on the map, "There is a problem.
?"
Gui Longhai said loudly again: "Sir, it's no problem. I promise to bring it to you before dawn!"
Brigadier Huang turned back and said: "Liu Battalion Commander, you lead the whole battalion and follow Captain Gui Ke to march in a concealed manner without alerting the enemy. Arrive before dawn and the whole battalion will be concealed! When the north attack starts, you will start the attack from the south.
!Be sure to attract the Japanese firepower to your side! Do you understand?"
Battalion Commander Liu stood at attention and saluted, "Yes! Got it!" He turned to Gui Longhai, "First Commander Guike, please!"

In this way, Gui Longhai followed Battalion Commander Liu out of the headquarters and went to the street outside.
A troop has been lined up on the dark side of the street.
Gui Longhai looked over and saw the mighty helmets, solemn guns, and stern faces of the soldiers, looking motionlessly at him and their commanders.
Battalion Commander Liu said: "Chief Guike, shall we leave?"
Gui Longhai said: "Go! Go!"
Battalion Commander Liu waved his hand back, "Everyone, follow me!"
Gui Longhai and Battalion Commander Liu walked side by side at the front. He looked back and saw the army following him like a long snake.
He led the team and quickly got into the small streets and alleys. The army that followed him also changed from three columns to two columns, really like a long snake, winding through the twists and turns of the small streets and alleys.
Hearing that there was going to be a war, the citizens in this area had all evacuated. There was not a soul in the streets and alleys.
The bombardment by Japanese warships continued, and explosions continued to be heard nearby. Therefore, they walked very fast and were not worried about their marching footsteps being heard.
The small streets and alleys they passed through were winding and winding, and some alleys were so narrow that only two people could walk side by side. Occasionally they passed through deserted streets, and soon entered the small streets and alleys on the opposite side.
In the darkness, the officers occasionally ordered the soldiers to follow.
Marching is always like this. Those in front just walk quickly, while those behind may have to trot to keep up.
Although there was a breeze blowing from the Huangpu River in Shanghai on a summer night, it was also unbearably hot. Everyone was sweating profusely and panting. No one in the team spoke because there was no time to talk.
At first, Battalion Commander Liu looked at the map with his flashlight and could roughly identify the location. But after several twists and turns, he no longer knew where he was. He even suspected that the troops were walking in circles.
He asked: "Guike Yilong, is the right way?"
Gui Longhai stared at him in the darkness and said, "That's right!"
25-8
Two hours later, at dawn, Gui Longhai finally led Battalion Commander Liu's troops to the designated location.
Battalion Commander Liu ordered the troops to rest where they were, and no one was allowed to leave without authorization, waiting for orders.
The soldiers sat down against the wall, breathing heavily.
Gui Longhai pointed ahead in the darkness and whispered: "Out of the alley ahead is Duolun Road."
Battalion Commander Liu was taken aback and hurriedly opened the map to check. He looked at it for a while but couldn't see it clearly.
He hurriedly asked: "Chief Commander Guike, where is the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps?"
Gui Longhai pointed to the map and said: "Here, this is Duolun Road. Exit the alley ahead, two to three hundred meters to the north, and that's it!"
Battalion Commander Liu said: "I'm going to inspect the terrain."
So, Gui Longhai took him and the three company commanders quietly out of the alley and pointed in the distance. Sure enough, there was a four-story building across the intersection ahead.
He pointed and said: "This Duolun Road goes north, and there is a crossroads in front of it. The Japanese Navy Headquarters is at the northwest corner of this crossroads. It is a large four-story building with a mouth shape and is surrounded by rooms.
, in the middle is Guangyi.”
Battalion Commander Liu looked at the four-story building from a distance. Most of the rooms in the building had lights on.
He said: "It seems that the Japanese army has not rested either!" He then asked: "Do you know the situation around it?"
Gui Longhai picked up a stone, shined it with a flashlight, and drew a rectangle on the white wall next to it.
He pointed and said: "This is the Japanese Navy Headquarters. To the east is Sichuan Road. Across Sichuan Road is the Japanese Navy Club. There must be Japanese troops there. To the south and west of the headquarters is Dongjiangwan Road."
He looked back at Battalion Commander Liu, "Can you understand?"
Commander Liu couldn't help but nod, "If you understand, you can continue."
Gui Longhai added: "There are many three- and four-story buildings on both sides. I don't know how to fight, but it would be difficult to attack from these two sides. Therefore, Brigadier Huang is right to put the main attack on the north, where
There are only some bungalows, which are easy to attack."
Battalion Commander Liu looked at the sketch carefully and frowned, "The brigadier commander asked us to feint attack from the south. How can we attack?"
Gui Longhai said with a smile: "Liu Battalion Commander, I think you can only attack the east gate. However, opposite the gate is the Navy Club. I'm afraid you have to attack the headquarters and the club at the same time. Are you like this?
Attack?"
Battalion Commander Liu couldn't help but laugh, "You are talking nonsense. You are fighting on both sides. How can we fight?"
The sky gradually grew brighter. There were faint figures of people on the other side of the intersection. Gui Longhai took them back to the alley.
Battalion Commander Liu said: "Okay, let's stay here and wait for orders! As soon as the gun fires over there, we will attack!"
25-9
At about this time, Chen Zifeng led his sniper team and quietly came to the front line of the national army outside Chizhi University.
The battlefield pass issued to him by Brigadier Huang played the greatest role.
When the officers and soldiers of the national army first saw these men in plain clothes carrying rifles and radios, they always thought they were Japanese spies, pointed their rifles at them, and ordered them to stop!
After several explanations and showing Brigadier Huang's battlefield pass, they finally reached the front line.
A captain named Chai looked them up and down and said with a crooked mouth: "There is no firepower point in front!"
Only then did Chen Zifeng remember the Japanese army's defensive arrangement at Chizhi University. The focus of their defense was at the north gate of Chizhi University on Dalian West Road. There was a fortification built with sandbags at the entrance. There were two armored vehicles inside the gate, and all light and heavy machine guns were pointed at it.
outside the door.
Now, he and Company Commander Chai were on Dongjiangwan Road to the west of Chizhi University, facing the school's tall wall.
Company Commander Chai tilted his mouth behind him, smiling a little proudly.
Chen Zifeng turned around and saw that some National Army soldiers were tying up bomb bags and installing bombs and fuses.
"You want to blow open the wall and rush in?" he asked.
"Yes! I'm going to hit him in the back!" Company Commander Chai said viciously.
"I'll charge with you! As long as the Japanese fight back, it's our business!" Chen Zifeng said equally viciously.
Company Commander Chai nodded to him in disbelief and said no more.
However, the attack order never came. Chen Zifeng and Company Commander Chai could only wait anxiously.
They huddled behind the broken wall of a house that was bombed last night. According to Company Commander Chai, artillery shells would not land in the same place repeatedly and it was the safest place.
Chen Zifeng asked again: "Captain Chai, when will you start attacking?"
Company Commander Chai said angrily: "How do I know? I can only wait for orders!"
25-10
At this time, Gui Longhai and Battalion Commander Liu, who were hiding in the alley of Duolun Road south of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, were also waiting anxiously. They were sitting in a house abandoned by the owner, chatting with each other.
.
Only then did Gui Longhai find out that Liu Yingzhang was from Liling, Hunan and a graduate of the fifth phase of Huangpu. He was only 28 years old this year. He had been married just three months ago!
Battalion Commander Liu said: "Damn it, I was called back just a month after getting married, and I haven't even warmed the bed yet!"
They both laughed, feeling very sorry.
Battalion Commander Liu was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be! Damn, it's only been more than a month! I don't know if any seeds have been left!"
Only then did Gui Longhai understand that Battalion Commander Liu came to the war with the determination to die! If his newlywed wife was not pregnant... Oh, that would be a pity! He looked at Battalion Commander Liu next to him and was a little speechless.
The words have come.
At this time, he couldn't help but think about when he would get married to Dr. Fu. Oh, if he married Dr. Fu, he would be so happy. At least, I can always keep the bed warm!
However, with the current war situation, who would want to get married?
25-11
On the other side of the city, Tan Hao, who was stationed at Qiaojialong, received a telegram from Peng Shaoyong asking about the actions of Chen Zifeng's team today.
Tan Hao had nothing to hide and reported truthfully. In the call back, he said that Chen Zifeng wanted to participate in the war and had obtained the consent of Brigadier Huang of the 264th Brigade of the National Army. He took a sniper team to the front line today. Qiao Yanfang took a few
Personally, I went out today to look for Japanese spies.
"I'll stay behind," he finally said in his call back.
