eight hours ago.

"Director Meng, the order for the evacuation has been issued. All our military agents have been dispatched to spread the order."

"Okay, where are the other departments?"

"They are all retreating according to the plan, and some have already reached the designated position. The Taihu guerrillas are fully prepared for guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and will attack the Japanese troops along the road."

"I know, the preparations are quite sufficient." Meng Shaoyuan closed the file he was reading: "Unfortunately, the retreat order was issued too hastily, which will plunge our army into chaos."

But this is no longer within his control.

Wu Jingyi continued to report there: "According to the deployment, our army will block the Qingpu front line..."

Qingpu?

Something seems to be wrong?

Are you okay?

Zhu Yanni had been operating in the Qingpu area before.

Maybe when I think of Qingpu, I think of Zhu Yanni?

She had just completed a mission with her, and now she had gone out to notify the troops to retreat. She didn't know if it was still safe.

After all the military operations were reported, Wu Jingyi said smoothly: "Originally, a new group of students would rush to Shanghai, but halfway, due to the changes in the situation in Shanghai, they were diverted back..."

Wait, Qingpu, student...student, Qingpu!

Meng Shaoyuan stood up suddenly: "Wu Jingyi, do we have a training camp in Qingpu?"

"Yes." Wu Jingyi said quickly: "But we have been ordered to retreat, and it is estimated that we have arrived now..."

Speaking of this, Wu Jingyi's expression also changed: "However, near Qingpu and Songjiang, we also have a technical cadre training class with 500 students in it!"

not good!

This military training class for technical cadres in Songjiang was run by Wen Qiang, another confidant of Dai Li, with a total of 500 students.

Wen Qiang attached great importance to this training class and did not allow others to interfere. However, during the retreat from Songhu, whether due to negligence or some other reason, the retreat order was not conveyed there.

As a result, these five hundred students, under the attack of the Japanese army, fought to the death and fought bloody to the end. Of the five hundred, only about thirty were left.

This was also a huge loss for the military.

Wen Qiang is directly responsible for this training class and is not responsible for Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming and others.

When preparing to retreat, Meng Shaoyuan had been arranging his troops to lurk and retreat in an orderly manner. He was busy with work, and he had to go to the front line to perform tasks in person. To be honest, he had not thought about this training class.

Now that everything has been arranged, when he hears about Qingpu, he always feels that there is still something unfinished.

When he heard the word "student", he suddenly remembered everything.

They are not ordinary students.

Some are old agents, some are officers transferred from the army, and some are Huangpu students.

Five hundred cadres are the elite of the military command!

This is training as the backbone of future military unification.

"Can you get in touch with there?"

Wu Jingyi's answer quickly cut off Meng Shaoyuan's hope: "It's no longer possible, all contacts with Qingpu and Songjiang are cut off.

"Prepare the car, I want to go there immediately." Meng Shaoyuan opened the drawer and took out the pistol.

"Director Meng." Wu Jingyi said anxiously: "If you want to go, I will go. Now our manpower has been exhausted, leaving only a few housekeepers. The Japanese invaders have already rushed into Songjiang. It is too dangerous for you to go."

"Danger? You have to go if you are in danger!" Meng Shaoyuan could not argue at all: "Five hundred people, every one can be saved. You are not familiar with the place, and you are also responsible for sitting in and listening to the report."

Wu Jingyi knew Meng Shaoyuan too well.

Once Meng Shaoyuan says something like this, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

"Xiao Li, come in immediately."

After a phone call, Xiao Li hurried into the office not long after.

"Report!"

"Xiao Li, send Director Meng to Songjiang."

"What?" Xiao Li suspected that he heard wrongly: "Director Meng, Assistant Wu, there are Japs everywhere in Songjiang now."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at him with a cold look: "Our rules are that you can only listen and not ask. Do you need me to emphasize the discipline to you again?"

"Yes! I know I was wrong."

…

Along the way, retreating national army soldiers could be seen everywhere.

The scene was chaotic.

From time to time, Japanese planes flew by and bombed.

The car was speeding there.

Do the opposite.

Everyone was retreating, but the car was speeding in the direction of the Japanese advance.

The speed is already very fast.

But Meng Shaoyuan still kept urging.

Hurry up, hurry up.

The earlier you arrive, the sooner you can rescue a few people.

"Director Meng, we are almost arriving in Qingpu."

The bombing has obviously intensified, there are gunshots everywhere, and several times, the car was almost hit by the shells.

"Faster, faster!"

Meng Shaoyuan was extremely anxious.

However, the car stopped.

"What's going on?" Meng Shaoyuan yelled.

"I'm out of gas, I need to refuel."

"Quick, quick!"

Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless and got out of the car.

Xiao Li took out a barrel of oil from the trunk.

"I'll go there for convenience."

Meng Shaoyuan walked aside.

After finishing the convenience, I felt relaxed. I saw Xiao Li still there to refuel, so I lit a cigarette for myself.

In the sky, two black spots quickly came closer and closer.

"Plane, watch out, plane!"

Two Japanese bombers appeared in the sky.

"Get down, get down!"

"Boom, boom!"

A series of bombs were dropped...

…

The Japanese plane left in a show of glory.

The car was completely blown up, and Xiao Li's body could not be distinguished from its original appearance.

Meng Shaoyuan climbed out of the soil, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

There is still some distance to Qingpu, and the rest of the way depends on two legs.

After walking for more than half an hour, fierce gunfire came from the direction of Qingpu City.

Group 306?

The 306th regiment in charge of the rear?

Yes, it must be them!

They did not receive the order to retreat and still held on there.

Five hundred students, brothers in one regiment!

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time, gritted his teeth, and ran out towards Qingpu City, shouting loudly as he ran:

"Retreat! Retreat! The entire army retreats!"
