The police caught the "bandits".

While the four agents were desperately struggling to explain, Meng Shaoyuan, Luo Caiyi and Luo Shun had already calmly left through the back door.

Meng Shaoyuan discovered that although Luo Shun was young, he was particularly high in understanding.

Some of Luo's talents are still being recalled, but Luo Shun already understands them.

Like Ding Wenrui, he was born to be a spy.

"What a pity, you are too young."

Meng Shaoyuan said this sentence in a confused manner.

Luo Shun was a little unconvinced: "Boss, I am only ten years old this year, but I have studied hard for five years. After five years, I will be fifteen and I will be an adult and can be loyal to the organization."

"In five years, you will be loyal to the organization."

Meng Shaoyuan did not say it out loud.

In five years, do you really want to be a spy?

Is being a spy really that happy?

"Agent, there's nothing good about it."

Meng Shao's original words were unclear: "It's better to learn something else or do something else than to be a spy."

"No, I just like doing this business." Luo Shun said stubbornly.

Meng Shaoyuan stopped talking.

He does not believe in fate, but the fate of some people may really be doomed.

…

"Since it was introduced by Shang Anning, you are also my distinguished guest."

Shen Jianxun read Shang Anning's letter and said, "Tell me, if there is anything you need me to help you with."

"Captain Shen, I'm in trouble." Meng Shaoyuan opened his mouth and said: "Between life and death, I am in danger. I need someone to protect me."

"You are an important member of the military command. Your visit to Guilin this time is probably about Guilin's military command, right?"

As a soldier, Shen Jianxun actually knew about military unification.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide anything and nodded.

Shen Jianxun said slowly: "The big shot in Guilin, your military commander, has the support of a bigger man behind him. Our 170th Division is a miscellaneous division. We can't afford to offend anyone on either side. We are wise to protect ourselves and will not get involved.

But I have to give him the respect of the regiment leader, what should I do? I thought about it, and I really thought of a way. A group of deserters just appeared in our regiment, with a total of eight people, almost the same squad.

.

As for you, if you can help me catch this group of deserters, it will be your business to deal with them."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled knowingly: "Yes, I will definitely try my best to catch this group of deserters."

"It's not me helping you do anything." Shen Jianxun specifically asked this point: "You have to catch it yourself."

"Understand, Captain Shen, it's all my own decision."

Shen Jianxun was silent for a while, then stood up and closed the door.

He came back, sat down, and said:

"I have to explain something to you. You are new to Guilin. The water in Guilin is very deep. Here, there are disciples of the emperor like the Central Army, General Bai's troops, and motley crews like us."

There is a question that has been holding back in Meng Shaoyuan's heart, and now he couldn't help but ask it:

"Commander Shen, the 170th Division participated in the Battle of Songhu. Three regiments defended LYG, and one regiment went directly to Shanghai. They fought bravely and suffered heavy casualties. How come they have become a miscellaneous army?"

Shen Jianxun did not answer immediately, but lit a cigarette and took a few big puffs.

Meng Shaoyuan discovered that Shen Jianxun's hands even trembled slightly when he was smoking.

Shen Jianxun put out the remaining half of his cigarette before saying: "I was among the regiment that went directly to Shanghai, and I was only the deputy battalion commander at the time.

Our entire regiment was almost wiped out, the regiment leader was seriously injured, the regiment attached, and the chief of staff were killed. The blood of so many brothers dyed the earth of Shanghai red.

Our commander Xu burst into tears and asked Commander Bai loudly on the phone why he didn’t listen to the central government’s combat methods and insisted on using his own methods to fight the Japanese!”

Bai Chongxi was nicknamed "Little Zhuge".

But there is an issue that has been ignored by many people.

The origin of Bai Chongxi's nickname is actually that most of his fame came from the warlord period.

As for the modern opponent like the Japanese army, neither Bai Chongxi nor the Gui army knew enough about it.

The combat method deployed by Bai Chongxi was "central breakthrough", in which the main force of the Guangxi army broke through the enemy's defense line with a death-defying assault. After that, the whole army cooperated with the counterattack and succeeded in one fell swoop.

This method of combat has been successful many times before. The main reason is that the opponent's firepower is weak and cannot withstand a group assault. However, the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Army really dare to fight fiercely and attack resolutely, so they can often win.

But on the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army's own firepower was stronger than that of the Chinese army, and it was also supported by warships and aircraft, which magnified its advantage.

The main force of the Guangxi Army arrived at the Songhu battlefield in mid-October. After two months of fierce fighting, most of the main force of the Central Army had been disabled, and the local armies that arrived early also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the arrival of the new force encouraged

Morale across the board.

Bai Chongxi, then deputy chief of staff, suggested that only defending without attacking was not a long-term solution. He believed that a fresh force could be used to attack the Japanese defense line and perhaps drive the Japanese into the sea. He believed that the elite Gui army he had trained had this ability.

The staff of Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the Third War Zone, believed that they could attack from the direction of the main field. If they failed, they could retreat to the Zhabei position so as not to shake the front.

Bai Chongxi believed that the Japanese defense line in Dachang was too strong, so it was better to attack from the direction of Nanxiang and Zhenru and press the Japanese into the sea.

Since the Gui army was the main force in this counterattack, Bai Chongxi's plan was ultimately implemented.

When executing the specific counterattack, Bai Chongxi did not consider the scale. As a result, the attack area was very large. The Gui army had to use most of its troops and had almost no reserves.

Moreover, because the attack time was very tight, the troops did not have time to conduct detailed reconnaissance, and at the same time, they were not able to assemble and organize the attack troops well.

On October 21, 1937, under such circumstances, the Guangxi army launched an attack on the Japanese army; on the same day, the Japanese army also launched an attack on our positions;

Due to the huge difference in firepower between the enemy and ours, the Gui Army Group suffered huge casualties in the assault. What was even more serious was that because the attack was launched at dawn, the Gui Army, which was unfamiliar with the terrain, attacked the wrong target, exposing its flank to the Japanese army.

Seeing the huge losses ahead, the Guangxi Army did not have a strong reserve force, so it could only rely on its frontline soldiers to fight the Japanese army desperately; despite the extremely unfavorable circumstances, it still severely damaged part of the Japanese army.

But this part of the victory was also achieved by the bravery of the Gui army soldiers and had little to do with Bai Chongxi's command and deployment.

Some senior generals of the Guangxi Army, including Xu Gaoyang, questioned Bai Chongxi's command after the war.

Bai Chongxi felt guilty, so he only comforted them with kind words.

But afterwards, these generals were no longer Bai Chongxi's confidants.

In 1937, Xu Gaoyang was already the chief of staff of the 31st Army Major General and the commander of the 170th Division.

In 1943, Xu Gaoyang was still a teacher!

For several years, in this position, he was nothing more than standing still!
