Chapter 185 Fire Captain Gu Changfeng
After returning safely to Zhongshan Gate, Gu Changfeng did not stop and went straight back to Zhonghua Gate.
Jinling is under martial law now, and people are generally not allowed to move around freely. However, Gu Changfeng had a pass, so the soldiers of the supervision team quickly let him pass.
After returning to the camp, Gu Changfeng went to the command center first.
After the support was over, he had to report the results of the battle to Liao Lei and ask about the situation at Yuhuatai.
As you enter the door, the first thing you see is still a large map and a group of people discussing something.
Gu Changfeng didn't disturb them. He found a seat and listened to them quietly.
After listening for a while, I felt it was boring, mainly because what they said was not to the point.
Like the direction of the Japanese attack and how to defend.
It's useless to him. He would be better off using his energy to figure out how to evacuate the people.
Defense?
Even if we give him another 21 soldiers from the st Army, he won't be able to defend Nanjing. Nanjing will definitely be broken, so it's meaningless.
Gu Changfeng stayed there bored for half an hour before Liao Lei ended the combat meeting.
He glanced at Gu Changfeng who was sitting not far away and said, "Are you here to take credit, kid?"
Gu Changfeng stood up with a smile, sat next to Liao Lei and said:
"Commander Liao, you are wrongly accusing me. I wanted to ask when the battle for Zhonghua Gate would begin."
Before Liao Lei could speak, Zhang Quan, the 21st Army's staff officer, said with a smile, "Haha! Changfeng, you really can't sit still!"
Gu Changfeng shook his head and replied: "It's not that I can't take a break. Jinling is in danger now. I'll see if I can find another opportunity."
Liao Lei said unhappily, "You're the only one who's good enough, alright?"
When Zhang Quan heard what Liao Lei said, he blinked at Gu Changfeng, but the smile on his lips betrayed Liao Lei.
In fact, Liao Lei was not really angry. Gui Yongqing's thank-you call made him very happy.
Liao Lei’s main purpose was to suppress Gu Changfeng and stop him from running around all the time.
Gu Changfeng just laughed and didn't say anything, which made Liao Lei unable to pretend anymore, so he spoke.
"Looking at the Japs' movements, they should attack Zhonghua Gate tomorrow."
"The battle at Yuhuatai was brutal. The 88th and 264nd Brigades of the 262th Division suffered heavy losses, but we were unable to provide support."
"You've run out of ammunition, now tell me what to do."
There was still some dissatisfaction in Liao Lei's tone. Although he had agreed before, it did not mean that he did not have his own ideas.
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Look for it again after the shells are used up. It's Yuhuatai."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, his expression instantly became serious, and he looked at Liao Lei and asked.
"Are you saying it was the 88th Division defending Yuhuatai? Then was the battalion that previously remained on the battlefield at Songhu also at Yuhuatai?"
The 88th Division was also a German-equipped division, so he was not surprised that it was defending Yuhuatai.
He suddenly remembered that Xie Jinyuan's battalion seemed to have returned to the team. If so, wouldn't they also be defending Yuhuatai?
Sure enough, Liao Lei looked at Gu Changfeng strangely and said:
"The 88th Division has a total strength of approximately troops. Except for one battalion remaining at Zhonghuamen, the rest are at Yuhuatai."
"I'm not sure about the camp you're talking about."
In fact, Tang Shengzhi originally arranged for the 88th Division to defend Zhonghua Gate with all its strength, but later saw Liao Lei return to Nanjing.
Seeing that he was just the right size, I just let him assist in defense.
As Gu Changfeng's troops returned to Zhonghuamen, the 88th Division's forces were gradually transferred to Yuhuatai.
Only a few hundred people were left behind at Zhonghuamen to prevent their retreat from being cut off.
Gu Changfeng still had some gaps in his memory. It was only when Liao Lei reminded him that he remembered that Xie Jinyuan's troops originally belonged to the 88th Division.
Otherwise, there would be no need to go to Zhongshan Gate instead. He can fight the battle here.
Since they were old acquaintances, he still had to help them. He didn't want the people he rescued from Songhu to die here.
Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng said:
"I have to go out for a bit. A batch of ammunition has arrived. Commander, please make arrangements with Xiaguan and send someone over to take over."
He now felt a bit like a fire captain. After helping the Teaching Corps, he had to go to help the 88th Division.
"Do you still have ammunition?" Liao Lei stood up suddenly and asked anxiously.
At this point, Gu Changfeng stopped pretending and nodded, saying, "This is the last batch."
"When will we arrive?" Liao Lei stared at Gu Changfeng!
"After 9 p.m., at the Xiaguan Ferry, please send someone to receive us."
It is no longer safe to go through Chuhe River now, and the Japanese will not be able to take advantage of this loophole again.
Moreover, Gu Changfeng had already arranged personnel to transport the ship towards Xiaguan, so now was a good opportunity to go and take a look.
"I'll go there myself." Liao Lei said seriously. The situation was not optimistic at the moment, and problems would easily arise if he didn't go.
Gu Changfeng meant the same thing, and said with a smile:
"It would be best if you go. All the troops are short of ammunition now. If you don't go and someone steals it, I won't be able to do anything."
"Changfeng, be careful." Zhang Quan couldn't help but speak when he saw Gu Changfeng get up and about to leave.
Gu Changfeng turned around and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Staff Officer Zhang, the Japanese aren't all dead yet, I'm sure I'm alive and well!"
Liao Lei looked at Zhang Quan and said jokingly:
"This kid is a nuisance. Wherever he goes, the Japanese will suffer. Let's just focus on ourselves!"
Zhang Quan shook his head and said nothing more.
He felt that Liao Lei looked after Gu Changfeng like he was looking after his own child. He felt helpless when things were not going his way, but was extremely happy when things were going his way.
Gu Changfeng returned to the camp and pulled Zhou Qianli over to ask, "Have Zhao Chong and his men transported the boats to Xiaguan yet?"
Zhou Qianli shook his head and said, "How can it be that fast? We hired a large number of civilians, but we haven't even reached Pukou yet."
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Then let them stop. I'll go over there myself. I have a batch of ammunition to transport back."
"Okay, I'll let them contact each other." Zhou Qianli said and walked towards the telecommunications class.
Gu Changfeng said: "I'll go too, and bring a radio with me."
"Oh, Lao Zhou, go tell Commander Liao that the handover location has been changed to Pukou."
After everything was arranged, he set off.
It is still very convenient to move around alone, especially since it is already night.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Gu Changfeng stopped on a small slope about ten miles away from Pukou.
A few hundred meters away from where he was now there was a small stream that led directly to the river.
In addition, Zhao Chong and his men are also upstream, so once the ammunition is exchanged, they can contact the ship to come directly.
With nearly 7000 points, the first thing to do is to exchange them for bullets.
The big gun can be directly exchanged for 3000, followed by 150 Katyusha shells and 30 German heavy artillery.
He exchanged the remaining points for Type 38 rifle bullets.
After supporting Yuhuatai, the next step is to defend the city, and even to engage in street fighting!
Changing some bullets would also allow the soldiers to kill more Japanese devils.
He didn't have enough points, so he had no other choice but to hope that he could revive the team after the Battle of Nanjing.
