The Republic of Heroes

On the third day after Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army entered Shanghai, Wu Xiaoliang led the garrison headquarters into the city very low-key.After several months of fighting, the city of Shanghai is full of ruins, collapsed and charred buildings, and unattended corpses scattered on the streets.

Wu Xiaoliang couldn't help frowning. After the war, the first thing to deal with should be the corpses in the urban area. Although the temperature drops in late autumn, it's not as hot as August or September, but after a long time, these corpses will still fester. It is about to become the current top priority.

Yang Xiaoou is still inseparable from Wu Xiaoliang, his second army suffered heavy losses at the end of the war, but not to the extent of injury, so he feels very comfortable, seeing the dilapidated situation all the way even after years of melee Can't help but be moved by it.After this battle, Shanghai does not know how long it will take to restore its former prosperity.Without Song Xilian who was always pulling him to discuss the current situation, he felt that his ears were a lot cleaner. Because the Shanghai war was over, Song Xilian returned to Nanjing with his troops to return to the construction.

Thinking of Song Xilian, Yang Xiaoou, who had never had a good impression of the Central Army, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. This guy really doesn't have the old Jiang's lineage. , otherwise, I wouldn't be able to walk so close to myself.

However, not all military chiefs of the Central Army have such a good temper.No, Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army was a defeated army, and Jun Zuo gave them the first victory in entering the city out of overall consideration.Unexpectedly, these bastards not only didn't appreciate it, but turned their noses up, and really used themselves as the main force to take back Shanghai.Especially that Yu Jishi, during the bloody battle in Zhabei, he saw that he was a man. The 57th Division helped him when he was defeated.

I heard that he forced the headquarters of the 57th Division located on Sichuan North Road out of his defense zone yesterday, which is really intolerable.Seeing the dead body on the street this time, he immediately understood what was going on, and gave a rare sneer.

"He Zhang Wenbai is waiting for our Shandong army to enter the city to do these groceries!"

Wu Xiaoliang also heard a little about the conflict between the Fifth Army and the Shandong Army, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhizhong's reputation to turn a blind eye to his subordinates doing such stupid things.

"These things are all trivial matters. Pass down the order, and the 57th Division that entered the city first will clean up the battlefield immediately." Having said this, Wu Xiaoliang turned to look at Yang Xiaoou, and said again: "Brother Yiru, I think the Fifth Army should stop entering the city." , it may not be Zhang Wenbai who does not welcome the Shandong Army into the city, let's stop aggravating the conflict!"

Yang Xiaoou understood what Wu Xiaoliang was thinking, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Where in the world is there such a triumphant army that won't let it enter the city! Is this the first of our kind in Weizhong?"

The more you go to the city center, the more sundries and corpses there are on the street. Wu Xiaoliang and his party stop and go. After half an hour, the whole convoy has only traveled less than three miles.Yang Xiaoou couldn't help urging the soldiers clearing the road ahead to speed up, and complained again and again: "Zhang Wenbai's doing this is a bit too much, but Mayor Wu, as a local parent, must show efficiency and prepare to clean up and rebuild, but Why didn't you see even half a shadow?"

In fact, he is well aware of the contests behind these situations, and speaking out is just to vent his full stomach of grievances.Suddenly there was a jeep honking in front of them, and when they looked up, another convoy was approaching them, and they bumped into each other.

While he was wondering, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Commander, Brother Yiru, how did you come here?"

It was Li Zejun, the commander of the 57th Division, who came here, which made Yang Xiaoou very surprised. Didn't he telegraph the headquarters before saying that he would go to Wusongkou Fortress to inspect in person?Why did you come to Zhabei District again?

Li Zejun didn't wait for Wu Xiaoliang to post, he took the initiative to explain his intention.

"Xiaozhi originally planned to go to the Wusong Fortress today, but Zhang Wenbai issued the city's military management regulations in the name of the Fifth Army, and he must first report to them before he will be released. The Wusong Fortress was originally in ruins, and the fortress defenders It has been ordered to return to the building, so since people don't want us to walk around in the city, we simply don't move around!"

Although Li Zejun said it lightly, it actually contained great dissatisfaction.

Wu Xiaoliang no longer intends to get serious with Zhang Zhizhong about the garrison in the city, holding the attitude of those people who like to make troubles, anyway, he does not plan to stay in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time, even if he wants to stay for a long time, Lao Jiang will not agree, so just wait As soon as the situation stabilized, I packed up and went back to Shandong.Seeing Li Zejun, he thought of Yu Sanhe and Zhang Zhonglin who had made great achievements in the Songhu Battle this time.

"Qian Ting don't need to get angry, we are going back to Shandong anyway, neither Shanghai nor Nanjing is the place where our Shandong army will stay for a long time. But Yu and Zhang, where are they now? Nanjing wants to unload mills and kill donkeys, cross rivers and demolish bridges , we can’t do this, chilling the hearts of these soldiers who loved us!”

"The two men, Zhang Zhonglin, are fine. They were only slightly injured and temporarily hospitalized for observation. Yu Sanhe's situation is a bit more complicated. During the time he was holding on to the Wusong Fortress, due to long-term lack of nutrition, coupled with heavy bleeding from bullets in street battles in the city, Now that he is not out of the danger of his life, whether he can survive this level depends entirely on his good fortune!"

That night, Wu Xiaoliang combined the garrison headquarters with the 57th division headquarters. He neither went to see Zhang Zhizhong, nor did Zhang Zhizhong come to visit him, the garrison commander and the army general who rescued him from danger.

It seems that Lao Jiang couldn't wait to drive him out of Shanghai, but he just left without a sound, really a bit unwilling!

Suddenly, the adjutant sent a sealed letter.

"Commander, a stranger asked the guards to send it, saying that it must be handed over to you!"

"Oh?"

Wu Xiaoliang took the letter in surprise, opened the seal, and asked, "Have you ever seen the appearance of the sender?"

"The guards only said that the man was covering up and couldn't see any distinctive features!"

The letter paper was spread out, and there were several densely packed lines of Chinese characters written on it, but these words were meaningless, and they were combined without any connection.Wu Xiaoliang dismissed the adjutant, came to the safe that he always carried, opened the door, and took out a small notebook from inside.

Picking up the pencil, comparing it with the small book, writing and drawing on the letter paper.A few minutes later, Wu Xiaoliang let out a long breath and put down his pencil with a complicated expression.

"It's been 12 years, but I don't know what happened to that girl?"
