Chapter 204 What a big construction site
Lieutenant General Guo and Lieutenant General Liu, who had already selected the command center address, brought Wang Gongyu and Tang Dao to greet him.
The leader was a soldier with a tall, tall, and burly figure riding on a pure black horse.
Although both sides have never met each other, based on the military rank on the seal, we can naturally basically judge the identity of the person.
The lieutenant general who threw down the horse whip and jumped off the horse sounded like a bell was naturally the famous lieutenant general in the Northeast Army. He was a general with a number of former young commanders. Otherwise, he would not have become a leader in the Northeast Army after the attack and death of the second-ranked Northeast Army who had secretly joined the northern army.
Tang Dao knew that this Songjiang blocking battle, which was full of tragic meaning, actually had the intention of Jinling to suppress the elite troops of the Northeast Army.
The 67th Army may be the Northeast Army closest to the northwest army. In the incident that occurred in the 25th year of the Republic of China, the army was an active participant, and for that person, it was naturally a thorn in his eyes.
Of course, Tang Dao knew even more that the concise and neat general in front of him had a miserable fate in time and space.
After his sacrifice, he was not allowed to admit it, and he was even charged with defection. It was not until decades later that his command gradually became a Chinese figure and ran around to finally rehabilitate his unjust case and included in the catalog of famous anti-Japanese generals.
General Wu Zhong has the unique intimacy of the Northeastern people. The two sides briefly introduced and exchanged greetings. He smiled and nodded in greeting Tang Dao, the battalion commander of the Sixing Battalion who is now famous, and led a large army into the city.
What appeared before them was a small town where bonfires had already been erected everywhere.
Or to be more precise, it is a large construction site.
Until then, many 67th Army generals who were still dissatisfied at the city gate understood why only two lieutenant generals and one major general came to greet them.
Because, except for the four of them and the guard sentry, all the others, from major generals to civilians, were digging trenches to build fortifications, and without lights, they lit bonfires.
Now Songjiang lacks nothing but wood.
With the fact that Commissioner Wang, who had already made his fortune, took the lead in demolishing his mansion and the family ancestral hall, the originally elegant and quiet town had been demolished in a mess before the war began.
The bigger the mansion, the more miserable it is.
The soldiers didn't have the patience to use iron pickaxes to tear down the house. A few grenades were placed under the load-bearing wall. The house collapsed with a "boom!" sound. The beams that could be used were pulled out to build fortifications. Some pieces of wooden furniture were naturally used to a bonfire.
Even though the 67th Army was ready to fight to the death, they were shocked by the extremely decisive scene in front of them.
This is not a rhythm that resists the three days and nights, but a swear to live and die together in Songjiang!
"Okay! No wonder Brother Guo, you can lead the 43rd Army to fight such a wonderful battle in Songhu. I used to think that those people deliberately exaggerate and exaggerate for their own face. Now I know that your army deserves such praise." General Wu looked at the busy construction site around him and sighed sincerely. "My journey to the south this time is long and I have not been able to catch up with the Battle of Songhu, but today I am honored to be able to fight side by side with Brother Guo!"
The commander of the 67th Army was a few years younger than Lieutenant General Guo, so it was normal to call him by his brother's name. But if the 43rd Army had not made a reputation in the Battle of Songhu first, it would be difficult for him not to admire him at this moment. I am afraid that this great man from Northeast China would still be called his military title as if he was at the gate of the city.
After all, the 43rd Army had a total of less than 700 people, and this person was commanding an army of more than 30,000 people from two infantry divisions.
It's like in the future, you are the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles at a prefecture-level city and county-level city, and they are parents and officials of a county. Both parties have the same ranks, but their power is too different.
"There, there, before you arrive in Songjiang, Commander Wu, you have arrived in Songjiang. Because time is tight, I will make the decision first. Please forgive me, Commander Wu." Lieutenant General Guo waved his hand and was modest.
"Okay, I won't say much. My 67th Army soldiers marched 80 miles in ten hours today, and gave my brothers a sigh of relief for one hour." General Wu Zhong looked at the generals of the 67th Army around him and stretched out a finger. "After an hour, all brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies of the entire army entered the position according to the command position, and built fortifications overnight."
"Yes!" A group of major generals from the 67th Army collectively received the order.
"I'll arrange for the brothers of the 67th Army to eat and drink water." Wang Gongyu stood up with a happy expression and took the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative.
That is necessary. In the front, Commissioner Wang took the lead in demolishing the family and ancestral hall rather than setting an example for his family and country, rather than smashing the can without giving the Japanese despair. Anyway, everyone is going to die, so it is useless to keep things there, right?
Now more than 30,000 people from the 67th Army are coming in a mighty manner, but it is somewhat of a hope. No matter how strong the Japanese are, if they want to swallow these more than 30,000 people in one bite, they will have to break a few big teeth. Maybe they will last for three days?
After all, Commissioner Wang, who had to serve the 30,000 masters, had to eat and drink all his fill. The expression on his face finally relaxed a little, thoughts were so simple now.
General Wu naturally would not refuse to be able to get some delicious food and drinks for his subordinates. After raising his hand to salute and expressing his gratitude, several core figures walked towards the command center that Tang Dao and others chose.
After all, Songjiang is not an emerging big city like Songhu, so it is really not easy to find a more solid building. Even if there are local snakes like Wang Gongyu, even finding a few locations does not meet the wishes of the two lieutenant generals.
In the end, a battalion commander of a security regiment under Wang Gongyu provided a building, which was his brother-in-law's house where he opened a pawn shop and a grain shop.
I don’t know how this pawnshop owner who sucks the blood of the common people is doing to his brother-in-law. Anyway, my brother-in-law doesn’t have much psychological pressure to cheat his brother-in-law. Not only did he smile and lead a few big guys who can determine his fate to his brother-in-law’s mansion, he even told the location of the underground warehouse that was locked tightly when his brother-in-law left.
Generally, Jiangnan houses have white walls and black tiles. The rich houses have small bridges, flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings. The garden-style buildings are elegant and exquisite, and it is easy to see the Jiangnan style, but the pawnshop owner's home is definitely an atypical Jiangnan building.
I won’t say that the word “a big one” covers an area of nearly two acres. Rich families in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad are like this. If you don’t run away when you go to the toilet, you won’t be able to show the word “rich”.
What's awesome is that the entire house is surrounded by blue brick walls that are as thick as 80 cm and more than three meters high. There are even guard posts in the corners of the walls. From the outside, it looks like a small prison.
The interior is a bit of Jiangnan style, and there are all garden ponds. However, the two-story building located in the backyard and has an underground warehouse are all made of steel and concrete. Even the gate is a five-centimeter thick iron door, just like the bank vault here.
When Tang Dao ordered the soldiers to break the door latch with grenades, Tang Dao walked in and realized that it might be him that he would have to build such a sturdy house.
There are a wide variety of buildings, with antiques, calligraphy and paintings placed. These things may not be worthwhile when they are put in war, but if they are in peacetime, the owners here will definitely be among the top five rich people in Jiangnan just by relying on this.
The walls may not be as thick as Sihang Warehouse more than half a meter, but the concrete wall of nearly 40 cm is definitely the most solid building in Songjiang at present. There is almost no hesitation, so Lieutenant General Guo has already designated this building as the command center.
More importantly, there is a warehouse three meters underground below the first floor. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, there is also a large amount of food. Perhaps Tang Dao cannot deeply understand why this tyrant regards grain as equal to gold, silver and jewelry, but people in this troubled times know the importance of food.
When wars come, you may not be able to buy food, gold and silver, but food can survive.
Although this was a personal item, it was not as usual during the war, and staying here was only cheaper for the Japanese. According to the two lieutenant generals, the food was taken out for the entire army to provide supplies, gold, silver and jewelry were used as military expenses, and other ancient things were lit and burned.
But as a little butterfly, Tang Dao pays more attention to antique calligraphy and painting, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Chinese nation. In the future, China will not have to spend much effort and financial resources to collect limited amounts from abroad.
He packed these treasures into wooden boxes and asked Erya to take them to the truck to take care of them carefully. He also told the security battalion commander named Zhuang Shisan that if the owner of the house wanted to get back these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and wait until the war ended, he would find the Sixing Camp.
Not taking a stitch and thread from the masses is something engraved into the bones of the Tang Dao, and it is also one of the main reasons why the troops he once belonged to eventually became the winner.
The so-called harvest is naturally not important. What is important is that there is a command center that can prevent heavy artillery.
Walking into the cleaned building and the command center built underground, although the air is not very circulating and a bit stuffy, General Wu was still very satisfied.
The Songhu map has been laid on a simple conference desktop.
The decisive General Wu immediately convened the first pre-war meeting of the Songjiang Army.
However, unlike Lieutenant General Guo who is good at calculating, this person's style is much simpler and even a bit rough.
