The Republic of Heroes

Chapter 440 Wusong Fortress

"you you you you……"

Deng Zhenquan called you a few times in a row, but he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of fear and bewilderment.Seeing a dense circle of explosives tied inside Sanhe's open clothes, and a grenade in his hand at some point, he laughed and said:

"If you're not afraid of death, let's die together!" Yu Sanhe and the two soldiers beside him also untied their skirts, and there were also densely packed bombs inside.

The soldiers in the fortress took another step back involuntarily. Deng Zhenquan was just about to retreat together, when one of the soldiers beside Yu Sanhe suddenly pulled out a Browning pistol from his crotch like a magic trick, and grabbed the man who was trying to get away. Deng Zhenquan pressed the cold muzzle of the gun against his temple, and shouted sharply:

"Whoever dares to move again, I will shoot him down."

The soldiers in the fortress were suddenly at a loss, and a sense of embarrassment permeated the air. The soldier looked down and saw that the dignified lieutenant general Deng Zhenquan, the commander of the counselor fortress, had peed on his pants, and couldn't help but grinned, "The stupid commander peed on his pants, that's terrible!" Don't be ashamed!"

Deng Zhenquan was only afraid at the time, and he became incontinent in public with the heat in his crotch. He was ridiculed by a mere soldier in front of his subordinates. He was so ashamed and indignant that he lowered his head to his chest, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.The soldiers in the fortress also felt ashamed that their commander was such a bastard, it was really a puddle of mud.

With such an unbearable commander on the stand, the soldiers under his command dropped their weapons one after another without even the slightest courage to resist.Someone tried to resist, Deng Zhenquan sternly said, "Put down your weapon, are you tired of work?"

Those soldiers had no choice but to throw away their weapons and stayed on the spot at a loss.

Seeing that the situation was completely under his control, Yu Sanhe raised his hand and pointed to a fortress soldier who was the first to put down his weapon.

"Go and open the gate of the fortress and let my people in!"

The soldier hurriedly nodded and slipped out, but he actually went directly to open the gate, and the infantry from the 57th Regiment of the [-]th Division swarmed in, and most of the fortress soldiers became prisoners while they were still asleep.At dawn, the situation was completely brought under control, a whole brigade was disarmed, and dozens of officers under the fortress commander Deng Zhenquan were all captured.

Yu Sanhe ordered that all soldiers, except the officers, be locked up and not allowed to come and go in the barracks at will. People were panicked and didn't know what was going on.Next, he first identified who among the officers was Deng Zhenquan's cronies, and who was Deng Zhenquan's thorn in the side.At noon, an order was suddenly received, and everyone went to the playground to gather, and the chief was ready to give a lecture.

After everyone had assembled, Yu Sanhe discovered that there were only a thousand people on the huge playground. He asked the fortress officers who had been screened out, "Are there any deserters in the fortress brigade?"

One of the lieutenant colonels immediately stepped forward and explained: "The fortress brigade is full of 750 people, but there are actually 78 people. The shortfall is..."

Yu Sanhe immediately understood that Deng Zhenquan, a coward like Deng Zhenquan, had emptied his vacancies. He did know that there were vacancies in other warlord armies, but he never thought that there would be such a shortage in the Central Army. situation.

After spending half a month in prison in Nanjing for the case of looting the arsenal, he quickly matured. Although he was very angry, he still secretly endured it.It is not the time to start killing. Wusong Fortress has nine 57-inch guns and [-]-inch guns in total. The infantry of the [-]th Division he brought with these guns will not be able to use them. Even if they can use them, they are extremely inexperienced, so the best solution is Keep the original artillery.But if we want these original fort artillerymen to feel at ease, we have to treat Deng Zhenquan, the commander of the fortress who drank blood, with caution.

He did intend to shoot him at first, but after all, he is a lieutenant general counselor of the national government. After he is shot, he will bring endless troubles to Commander Wu. It is better to control him on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, and hand it over to the central government after the war is won. The government dealt with it and made up its mind before this collective lecture.

"According to the order of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Commander, Deng Zhenquan of the Wusong Fortress colluded with the Japanese with the intention of betraying the country, and this is hereby taken. In addition, the defense of the fortress is handed over to the Ninth Regiment of the 57th Division."

There was no sound on the playground, and all the soldiers were not surprised by the news, because Deng Zhenquan was still supplying the Japanese with fresh water and food just a few days ago when the Shanghai War was at its height.Many people dare to be angry but dare not speak up.After a brief silence, the audience cheered.

Everyone knew that this was real. Some people were exposed to the conflict last night. Combined with the inexplicable gunshots, they realized that the process of taking down Deng Zhenquan would definitely not be smooth sailing.A brave soldier shouted boldly: "Sir, you are wise, save the fortresses from this harm."

"Yes, when will the officer lead us to fight devils?"

Yu Sanhe secretly rejoiced, it seems that people's hearts are available, and the soldiers in the fortress still have the desire to fight devils.At this moment, he changed his previous strategy of dismissing all the fortress soldiers, and decided to keep them and reorganize.Yu Sanhe didn't know that his decision saved him, the entire Ninth Regiment, and even the entire Songhu battle a few days later.

The artillery stationed at the fort was the first to be reorganized. Yu Sanhe ordered people to count the number of ammunition depots. After opening the dusty ammunition depot, they saw that it was full of shells of various calibers. Now it seems that it has not reached the level of madness, at least it has not touched the crooked idea of ​​​​the ammunition depot.

Yu Sanhe ordered people to distribute all the eight-inch guns and four-inch gun shells to each fort in sufficient quantities, and ordered the artillerymen to conduct a thorough maintenance on the cannons, because he wanted to announce to the people of Shanghai the next day that the Wusong Fort Not dumb, let the little Japanese fleet taste the taste of Chinese shells.

The artillerymen couldn't hold back their excitement, they wiped the barrels, cleaned the barrels, even cleaned off the thick layer of dust hanging on the shells, and polished them brightly.

The Wusong River estuary was overcast, and the visibility on the misty river was extremely low. Several Japanese warships still sailed from the East China Sea into the Yangtze River Estuary as usual, preparing to turn into the Huangpu River.On the bridge of one of the cruisers, the captain of the lieutenant colonel routinely observed the enemy's situation through the binoculars. When he glanced at the Wusong Fort, a mocking smile appeared on his face. Although the target of his mockery could not be seen, it did not affect his elation.

Stupid Chinese people, just a week ago he personally boarded the fortress that Chinese people guarded the mouth of Wusong River to receive fresh water and food.If the Chinese commander had any courage to fire or take the opportunity to launch an attack, the price the imperial country would have to pay to win the Songhu battlefield would probably be several times the current price.
