Chapter 421 Temporary evacuation
The geographical location of Huanzaobang is very important. In Shanghai, some smaller rivers are called Bang, but Huanzaobang is the third largest river in Shanghai after the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek.

The Guo army placed a large force here, not only threatening the Japanese army at all times, but also controlling the Japanese army in Baoshan and the mouth of the Huangpu River, and strangled the Japanese army's way forward.

In fact, Huanzaobang has always been a strategic location.

It is not a secret that the Japanese army wanted to take down Zazaobang, and they had been carrying out strong attacks before.

General Zhu attached great importance to this place as well. The previous strategic retreat had achieved results, and the Japanese army did not snatch it away. It is still in the hands of the Guo army.

But now that the Japanese army has assembled a large number of troops again, can General Zhu still hold there?
Chu Lingyun didn't know that he was not the general leading the battle, his mission was to scout for information, and he had to report it in time when he got important information.

"Ready to send the report."

The information leaked by Chishang today is very important. Although Chu Lingyun has not yet made a complete judgment, the opportunity to fight is fleeting, and he will report as much as he has.

After receiving Chu Lingyun's report, Virgo did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately reported it to General Zhu.

"The Japanese army is going desperate."

General Zhu received the news and said bitterly that the Japanese army failed to do what they wanted just after the battle, but their army did not retreat and was still preparing for a strong attack.

"Send a report to the chairman and ask for help immediately."

Although he defended the battle just now, he suffered heavy losses. If the Japanese army was desperate and at all costs, coupled with the support of the air force and navy, it might not be possible to defend the battle.

This place is too important, as a last resort, General Zhu asked for help again, and must keep this strategic location.

A fishing village.

Loach and his men are hiding here. He pretends to be a fisherman, but he hasn't caught fish a few times during this period.

The Japanese are very strict on the riverside. Once they find someone violating the regulations, they will not speak any reason at all, and they will overturn the fishing boat directly.

In order to survive, very few people fish secretly.

No one dares to do this unless they really can't survive.

After coming in for so long, he didn't get much information, only detected the movements of some Japanese troops, but today he got an important news.

A group of wounded soldiers were recuperating fifteen miles away from him.

And it's just arrived.

Like the Guo army, the Japanese army had insufficient hospitals, and many soldiers with minor injuries had to recuperate in the camp. The Japanese soldiers were slightly more seriously injured, and their morale could easily be affected if they were in the camp.

The Japanese army gathered them together and put them in a small town for training.

There were a lot of wounded soldiers in this group, more than 800 people, about [-] guards, and some doctors and nurses.

The loach didn't know that these were the wounded soldiers who had retreated from the stormy attack on Juzaobang, so they were placed nearby.

There are thousands of Japanese soldiers, even if most of them are wounded, this is important information.

Chu Lingyun quickly received the news, and immediately took out the map.

The location of this group of people's training is on the west side, only more than 30 miles away from the front line of Chen Civil Engineering Department.

Such a short distance must be a short-term cultivation. Temporarily accommodate these wounded soldiers. As long as other places make room, they will be evacuated immediately.

Thousands of devils, Chu Lingyun squinted his eyes.

Since the start of the war, the Guo army has killed and wounded many Japanese, but not many times they wiped out thousands at a time. Especially this time, if it works well, it can inflict heavy damage on them at a very small cost.

With so many Chinese dead and [-] Japanese soldiers, there is not even enough interest.

These Japanese soldiers will withdraw soon, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

It's not enough to just rely on the people in Chu Lingyun's hands, but it's not enough to just give them the topographical map and location. With Chen Mutu's ability, he is absolutely sure to destroy these people.

"Tell Loach to transfer."

Chu Lingyun ordered that when these wounded soldiers were attacked, the Japanese army would definitely step up their investigation, and the loach should not stay where it was.

With the goods, Chu Lingyun found Chishang.

This time I gave Chishang a lot of goods. In the past two days, Chishang earned more than 100 yen. Seeing that Chu Lingyun sent so many good things, he received him happily.

"Brother Chishang, your usual work is also very hard."

In the camp, Chu Lingyun asked softly, while Chi Shang shook his head and said, "It's not hard work, but it's dangerous."

The place he was patrolling was close to the Chinese defense zone. If he got too close, he might be spotted by Chinese scouts and kill them.

During this time, some patrols did die at the hands of the Chinese.

Likewise, they have killed many of each other.

"If it is dangerous, you must pay attention to it. If possible, transfer to a safer place."

"Where is there a safe place now?"

Ikegami sighed, he had been notified that they would go to the front line tomorrow.

When he arrived at the front line, he didn't know whether he could come back.

"Brother Chishang, I have to go."

Chu Lingyun suddenly said that Niqiu had to evacuate, but he would also face danger. The wounded soldiers would be wiped out as soon as they arrived. The Japanese must know that someone was spying on them.

He came here for a short time, and if he continued to stay at this time, he would definitely be checked by the Japanese.

Using his evacuation to exchange the lives of a thousand devils is a very worthwhile deal, and besides, his place was originally a temporary base, and he didn't plan to stay there for a long time.

Transfer is not evacuation. Chu Lingyun will continue to spy on information here, and Ikegami's relationship cannot be lost. He is more important than Inoue's identity.

"Where are you going?"

Chi Shang immediately asked, he didn't expect Chu Lingyun to leave, the business is doing well, why did he leave?
"I want to go back to the concession first. I heard that there is no longer conscription there. It is still too dangerous. I am worried that I will be caught on the battlefield at any time."

Chu Lingyun replied that when the war first started, almost all Japanese nationals in the foreign concession were conscripted.

With the arrival of reinforcements, there is no need for so many civilians now, and ordinary expatriates are no longer being recruited in the concession.

Ikegami knew this, and there was no surprise.

"You are right in thinking. If there is a big war here, you may not be able to keep your shop."

Chi Shang sighed, he still didn't know if he could come back alive.

"Brother Chishang, even though I'm gone, I can still provide you with goods. After you come back, I will have people deliver goods to you regularly so that you can earn more money."

"Really?" Chi Shang's eyes widened, he didn't expect that Chu Lingyun was going to leave, and he was still thinking about him.

"Of course, Brother Chishang, there is an old saying in China that you can meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country. You are a retainer of the Hosokawa family, and I am a classmate of the young master of the Hosokawa family. We are so close. I can't help you in other respects, but for you There is absolutely no problem for you to deliver some goods."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, not only Chishang would send it, but Inoue would also send it.

Keeping these relationships, he can continue to provide him with the information he wants.

"You still have the heart, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely this time."

Chishang was very happy, and Chu Lingyun coaxed a few more words, and after walking around the Chishang camp, he returned to the shop.

These groups of people have not been idle these days. The location and time of the patrols here, as well as the layout of the barracks, are almost the same, and it is time to transfer.

At Chen Mutu's headquarters, Chen Shouquan came to Chen Mutu's side with Chu Lingyun's secret message.

"Ling Yun gave us a big gift."

Seeing the telegram, Chen Mutu laughed out loud. There were more than 800 wounded soldiers and [-] guards, and Chen Mutu accepted it with a smile.

If they dare to send it to their door, they are courting death.

This is also the reason for the lack of depth of the Japanese army. If they had enough territory, these wounded soldiers would never be placed here, but would only be sent to the rear.

There are not many such opportunities, and these wounded Japanese soldiers may be sent away at any time.

Chen Mutu decided to act that night.

"Boom boom boom."

At night, Nixie was awakened by the sound of artillery, and even Chu Lingyun heard the sound of artillery, and understood that Chen Mutu was attacking the wounded soldiers.

The Japanese wounded soldiers have not been transferred yet, and Chen Mutu will achieve good results this time.

They are just wounded soldiers, unable to run, unable to stop, they will only become cannon fodder, and in the end they cannot escape the result of destruction.

Chu Lingyun didn't inquire about the result, and led people to evacuate early the next morning.

Chen Mutu received the results of the battle.

Sure enough, there were a lot of wounded soldiers in that town. There were not many people in the town. When the Japanese called, most of them ran away, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled.

These people were all gathered in the ancestral hall outside the town by them, but this time they escaped unharmed.

Almost all the wounded soldiers in the town were killed by the assault team led by Chen Shouquan. More than half of the [-] guards were killed or injured. They only protected the wounded soldiers and did not carry heavy weapons.

Moreover, they are a second-rate army, formed by forced expatriates.

The combat effectiveness of such guards can be imagined. If some people were not running fast, Chen Shouquan would have wiped them all out without daring to chase them.

Killing nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers, even wounded and recruits, was a great victory.

Chen Mutu sent the good news to the old man, and the old man was very happy.

Virgo also received the good news and knew that it was again thanks to Chu Lingyun for providing the information.

He didn't expect that after Chu Lingyun arrived in the enemy-occupied area, he would make successive contributions. Not only did he send important information several times, but this time he even guided the Guo army, wiped out thousands of enemies at once, and his own losses were negligible.

This time, only a dozen or so people were killed or injured by Chen Shouquan.

Guo Jun quickly issued a report, telling everyone the results of this battle, but the report did not say that the wounded soldiers were killed, but they were indeed Japanese soldiers, which is true.

The Japanese were furious and demanded a thorough investigation of the matter.

The gendarmerie conducted a detailed investigation, and soon found Nixie and others who had fled. Chu Lingyun's departure did not arouse their special attention.

The main reason is that Chu Lingyun is a Japanese, and the distance is far away.

But because of Chu Lingyun's departure, he was also investigated.

Chu Lingyun didn't care about it. It would be strange if such a thing hadn't been found out. Inoue would never tell him. As for Chishang, he still wanted to use his relationship to help the Hosokawa family speak, not to mention Say anything against him.

"General Chen."

Chu Lingyun withdrew to Chen Mutu's side. Chen Mutu was very happy to see him, and immediately dragged him into his office.

There were too many people in the command room, it was inconvenient for Chu Lingyun to go there.

"Ling Yun, you did a great job."

Chen Mutu gave Chu Lingyun a thumbs up. There are not many people in Chu Lingyun, but the significance of what they did was extraordinary.

Chen Mutu knew the importance of information, but he never expected that when Chu Lingyun entered the enemy-occupied area alone, he would find out so much useful information and help him twice.

After killing the wounded Japanese soldiers this time, the old man said happily that one Chu Lingyun would lead a regiment.

From Chen Mutu's point of view, the old man still underestimated the value of Chu Lingyun, let alone a regiment, a division is worth it.

Last time he helped him reduce the battle damage of thousands of people, and this time he helped kill thousands of Japanese names.

Even if it is an ordinary division, it is difficult to achieve such a result.

"General Chen has won the award, and I should do everything."

Chu Lingyun said modestly, the war is still going on, and the Japanese army has indeed launched an attack on Yuzaobang, and there is still fierce fighting there.

Chen Mutu also sent many people to support him.

In addition, the old man ordered the reinforcements of the Gui army in Shanghai to march quickly and arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible to fight.

Just now, the 8th Division, which had been fighting fiercely for several days, retreated to the rear for repairs.

In Huanzaobang, the 8th Division persisted for the longest time, a full 21 days. So far, no matter which position they have persisted in, they have not persisted for as long.

Even if the so-called trump card army of the direct line can last for seven days, it is already a big deal.

As for the entire division, there were only a few hundred people left after the fight, and most of them were injured, which shows how tragic it was. They are ministers of meritorious service and well-deserved heroes.

Hearing Chen Mutu's quick recounting of the events on the battlefield, Chu Lingyun was also a little jealous.

This battle was fought too hard, without air dominance or sea dominance, too many soldiers fought with their lives, but they could only die in vain under the artillery fire of the Japanese army.

The gap in equipment cannot be filled with human life.

"It is estimated that we will not be able to hold on to Caizaobang. Once we lose our defense, we will have to retreat. At that time, Japan will have more strategic depth. I am afraid that this battle will be even more difficult to fight."

Chen Mutu sighed, a war that was supposed to destroy the enemy turned out to be like this, everyone was suffocating with anger.

This war also made them see clearly the real gap between themselves and Japan.

But until now, no one can stop, can only continue.

"I see."

Chu Lingyun was silent. He had already seen the map countless times.

By defending Juzaobang, the Japanese army can be blocked in the Baoshan area. The space here is limited, otherwise the Japanese army would not have placed the wounded soldiers in such a dangerous position, which gave Chu Lingyun an opportunity.

But once Huanzaobang fell, Nanxiang would lose the big field to the south.

If the Guo army retreats, I am afraid they will have to retreat all the way to Suzhou Creek.

Then with the help of the Suzhou Creek, continue to block the enemy, but in that way, even the city of SH will be in danger.

Once Nanshi (Note) falls, Shanghai will completely fall.

The most important thing is that the railway will be cut off by the Japanese army. Whether it is materials or personnel, it is no longer possible to rely on the railway to enter and exit.

Therefore, the battle at Shuizaobang is very important, and it is the key to stopping the Japanese army. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese army desperately wanted to break through Shuizaobang, where they have been attacking for so long.

　Monthly ticket 2000 plus more, (Note: Shanghai Nanshi is an old city, after the establishment of the British and French Concession, it is used to be called Beishi, and the southern Chinese border of the concession is called Nanshi.)
