Chapter 173 Dangerous situation

The next morning, Li Yunsheng summoned more than 300 subordinates from the third intelligence department, and then, under the arrangement of the seat, went to Shanghai as the second group.

The leader of the Fifth Detachment is Liu Yuntian. The entire detachment has more than 1,000 people. Although there are not many people, the train capacity is very tight due to the war. Li Yunsheng and other temporary miscellaneous troops could not board the train at all, and could only take the bus. Due to the poor road conditions, the car drove very slowly, and other troops rushing to Shanghai could be seen along the way.

The Fifth Detachment arrived in the suburbs of Shanghai the next morning. After arriving in the suburbs of Shanghai, Liu Yuntian found Li Yunsheng and sighed: "Our Fifth Detachment was assigned to the Left Wing Corps. I am going to report to the Corps Headquarters. You take your brothers here to rest."

The reason why Liu Yuntian sighed was that the defense zone of the left-wing corps was not far from the Huangpu River. Many places in the defense zone were under the attack of Japanese warships. The power of the naval guns was too great. When many troops got on, they were bombarded by the Japanese battleships several times, and more than half of the people would be killed or injured, so it was very unlucky to be incorporated into the left-wing corps.

Li Yunsheng also knew that the left-wing corps suffered the most casualties, but now the military order is below, so he has no choice but to refute them. He can only say optimistically: "Don't worry, deputy commanders, we miscellaneous soldiers, probably the people in the headquarters are not very relieved, and we will not be able to arrange us in any important position."

Liu Yuntian thought it was true. With the temporary miscellaneous army such as the Secret Service, the important generals in the army would not be at ease. After all, they could understand the combat effectiveness of this anti-Japanese and national salvation army. So after instructing Li Yunsheng to lead the troops, he went to the left-wing corps headquarters.

More than two hours later, Liu Yuntian came back and his face improved a lot. When Li Yunsheng saw Liu Yuntian's expression, he guessed that the result must be good.

Li Yunsheng guessed that he was right. As soon as Liu Yuntian came in, he spoke: "Captain Chen of the Corps asked our Fifth Detachment to guard the rear to prevent the Japanese from coming in to make trouble."

Hearing this result, Li Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he didn't have to go up and eat Japanese shells, so he smiled and said, "The Commander is really giving you face, and he actually arranged such a good job."

Liu Yuntian said with emotion: "It's indeed a good job, but if you get this job, the commander of the corps is worried about us. They can also guess how powerful we miscellaneous troops have, but fortunately, we don't have to fight with the Japanese," and then discussed with Li Yunsheng how to guard the rear.

The two discussed for a while, and finally decided to divide everyone into three groups and patrol the rear for 24 hours.

Three days passed quickly. In these three days, Li Yunsheng witnessed with his own eyes how tragic the war was, especially in the left wing corps. The troops of a division were defeated by the Japanese in a few days. Seeing such a large casualties, Li Yunsheng became worried again. If this continues, his people will sooner or later be pulled to the front line.

Li Yunsheng's worries soon became a reality. The next morning, Liu Yuntian sent someone to find Li Yunsheng.

As soon as the two met, Liu Yuntian said seriously: "The Corps Command issued an order to split our Fifth Detachment into two and go to the 11th and 35th Divisions to support it."

Hearing this result, Li Yunsheng immediately frowned. It was not surprising that he was sent to the front line. However, the Fifth Detachment had only more than 1,000 people, and they were actually used separately. The defense areas of these two troops were the most dangerous places, especially the defense areas of the 11th Division were in Wusongkou area, which was the most tragic place of the war. He asked, "Second, how could we send us to those two places? And why were we used separately?"

Liu Yuntian sighed and said, "The 11th Division and the 35th Division have suffered too much casualties. If there is no support, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it, so the chief officer made this decision." Then he changed the subject and said, "I order Li Yunsheng to lead his first team to Wusongkou and go to the 11th Division to find Commander Wang to report it."

Seeing Liu Yuntian's serious order, Li Yunsheng was stunned, and then said coldly: "Subordinate to obey the order," and then turned around and left without saying a word.

When he returned to his base, Li Yunsheng thought with hatred. It seemed that Liu Yuntian had pushed himself out. After all, the defense zone of the 11th Division was more dangerous than that of the 35th Division. It was close to Wusongkou, and within the range of the Japanese naval naval guns, but he actually asked himself to take the first team to support him. Isn't this to be cannon fodder?

But after thinking about it, he could understand it. After all, the military orders are like mountains, and he had no choice. The Fifth Detachment must go to those two places to support, while the Fifth Detachment only has him and himself the highest rank. He must take people to reinforce those two units separately. Liu Yuntian will definitely choose a safer place.

Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng sighed a little, and then instructed Liu Gang who had just arrived: "Let the brothers gather immediately and we will go to Wusongkou to support him."

After Liu Gang received the order, he immediately went to prepare. Half an hour later, Li Yunsheng's first team gathered and then headed to Wusongkou.

When there were more than ten kilometers away from Wusongkou, Li Yunsheng heard bursts of explosions in the distance. As the distance got closer, the explosion became clearer and clearer. After walking for more than half an hour, it was less than three kilometers away from the defense zone of the 11th Division. He heard a harsh whistling sound, followed by a huge explosion. Even if the distance was so far, Li Yunsheng could clearly feel the ground trembling.

Although the people in the first team were all professional soldiers, they had never heard such a huge explosion. Liu Gang, who was beside him, asked: "Section Chief, what's going on with the sound just now? Could it be that the ammunition depot exploded?"

Li Yunsheng said in a low tone: "That should be the sound of the Japanese naval guns volley," and then stopped talking and continued to move forward with his men.

When he arrived at the defense zone of the 11th Division, even though he was still a distance from the forefront position, Li Yunsheng could still see the scene in the distance clearly. He saw ruins everywhere. The Japanese army launched attacks from time to time. On the ground of the battlefield, there were many large pits with a diameter of more than ten meters. These pits were very conspicuous, which made Li Yun feel chilling and made a decision in his heart that he must think of a way and never go to the front line to eat Japanese shells.

Since it was during the war, there were naturally guards near the division headquarters of the 11th Division, but in Li Yunsheng's opinion, these guards were not in place. When Li Yunsheng was very close to the division headquarters, he came to interrogate.

Since he came on order, there would naturally be no accidents, so the guards called the higher authorities a few times and took Li Yunsheng in.

Li Yunsheng asked Liu Gang to take his men to rest on the spot, and then entered the division headquarters. Under the leadership of the guards, he soon arrived at the division headquarters. The division headquarters was just a simple tent, just like many tents, and there was no special place.

As soon as Li Yunsheng entered, he saw two people with the rank of major general facing away from him, discussing military information in front of a table, and there were two combat staff next to him.

One of the men with the rank of major general said, "Teacher, if we continue to fight like this, we will not support it for a long time. Now, with a fire from the Japanese, we will lose many brothers, and the troops are almost half of the casualties."

Another major general said, "We must support us even if the troops are exhausted. The order that Chief Chen gave us is to hold on for two days before the troops will change defense."

Seeing this, Li Yunsheng had no choice but to speak, "Subordinate Li Yunsheng, he is ordered to report."

At this time, the two people turned around. They were all very ordinary, all of them were men in their forties. However, one of them, Li Yunsheng, knew him. It was when he was in the Whampoa Military Academy, his instructor Hao Jinyuan.

At this time, Hao Jinyuan also recognized Li Yunsheng, but because he was not polite during the war, he just said simply: "We teachers and students are destined to be together. I didn't expect you to come to the Songhu battlefield," and then introduced to the person beside him: "Master, this is my student when I was in Huangpu, and I'm called Li Yunsheng."

The division commander asked, "You are the one sent by the commander to reinforce. How many people do you have and how are your weapons and equipment?" The commander of the 11th Division was called Zhao Zhengdao, who was an absolute soldier, so the first thing he cared about was these situations.

Li Yunsheng said softly: "Report to the master, there are 300 people in total," and then said carefully: "But most of the weapons are short guns, and only dozens of long guns." From the conversation between the two people just now, Li Yunsheng knew that the situation of the 11th Division was not good, so he reported the situation truthfully so that the two people would not put themselves at the forefront.

After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Zhao Zhengdao grabbed the phone and dialed it out. After the phone was connected, he complained: "Sir Chen, I want support from you, but you have sent me 300 people, all of them are miscellaneous soldiers. What's the use of this?

A serious voice came from the obedient saying: "Now there are asking for help everywhere, so I can only do this. When the night comes, there will be a security team that will come over, so you can hold on first."

Zhao Zhengdao complained a few more times, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Hao Jinyuan: "Let the commander come over later and add these people to a group. There are only a few hundred people left in the group now. With this group, you should be able to recover some vitality."

Hao Jinyuan immediately said: "These people are from the Secret Service. They are not strong in combat. If they are supplemented with a group, will there be any accidents? Or they should follow the plan and let the guard battalion go up."
