Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 131 Gu Changfeng’s Reminder

It was already 9:30 in the evening when Gu Changfeng met Liao Guangyi.

"Brother Liao, why are you here in the middle of the night?" Gu Changfeng asked in surprise.

"I have something good to tell you." Liao Guangyi smiled cunningly.

Gu Changfeng suddenly had a bad feeling and waved his hands.

"Just tell me the enemy's marching route, and there's no need to tell me anything else."

He doesn't have the energy to bother with all those trivial things.

Liao Guangyi's smile faded, and he said unhappily, "You kid, I haven't said anything yet!"

"You'd better stop talking. I want to know the enemy's marching route and deployment."

Gu Changfeng was not interested in the affairs of the Kuomintang. He was afraid that Liao Lei would make excessive demands.

Liao Guangyi didn't care anymore and directly took out the letter of appointment and said to Gu Changfeng.

"Your unit is still in Jinling, so this will be more convenient. As for the rest, it's up to you!"

"But the commander said it would be best if you were willing to join the defense."

Gu Changfeng didn't answer. He turned his head to look at Zhao Ziqing next to him, thought for a moment and said.

"Old Zhao, what do you think?"

"This has nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for fighting the devils. Don't involve me in other matters!"

Zhao Ziqing quickly refused.

He is now on the list of dead. What if the higher-ups find out that he is not dead and has not returned to the team, what will they do then?

It’s troublesome just thinking about it.

Gu Changfeng looked at Liao Guangyi again and asked, "Where in Jinling are you defending?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Guangyi asked the guard to take out a map and point in the direction of Zhonghua Gate.

"right here."

He then gave a brief introduction to the deployment of the Nationalist army.

For example, Wang Yaowu's unit, which Gu Changfeng was familiar with, was responsible for Chunhua Town and Niu Shou Mountain area.

Liao Guangyi then introduced the enemy's marching route.

It’s similar to what Gu Changfeng knows.

The Shanghai Expeditionary Force advanced towards Nanjing along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway with its 11th, 13th and 16th Divisions.

The Japanese 3rd and 9th Divisions advanced westward through Suzhou and Jintan.

The 10th Army attacked along the south bank of Taihu Lake, and its 114th Division passed through Yixing and Liyang.

The 6th Division went straight to Nanjing via Guangde, and the 18th Division went straight to Wuhu via Guangde.

"The commander and I both predicted that the Japanese attack would take place in the next two days," Liao Guangyi added.

"Okay, I'm almost ready. Give me more information when the time comes, and I'll see how to cause trouble for the devils."

Gu Changfeng said this and took the letter of appointment from Liao Guangyi.

He decided to take it and wander around Jinling by himself, without any identity, which could easily cause misunderstandings.

It’s okay if you’re familiar with them, but it would be a joke if you’re not familiar with them and they start fighting.

And since Liao Lei has already reported it, the number is already on file whether he accepts it or not, so there is no point in refusing.

I have to say that Liao Lei’s idea is good.

With his firepower, Liao Lei would have made a profit even if he could destroy a regiment, let alone a brigade of the Japanese.

Seeing Gu Changfeng take it, Liao Guangyi said with a smile:

"You are so ungrateful, you got the advantage. The commander spent a lot of effort on this thing."

How could Gu Changfeng not know what they were thinking? They just wanted him to defend together.

The problem is that he has no plans in this regard. What he should do is to take the initiative to attack the Japanese.

He had only more than 2000 men, and if they fought a positional battle, a single brigade of the Japanese could cripple him.

Seeing that Gu Changfeng remained silent, Liao Guangyi asked, "Are you really not planning to defend the city with us?"

Gu Changfeng shook his head and said, "Forget about defending the city. My troops are of little use. Even if I had them, I wouldn't go."

"The highest official in Jinling is Tang Shengzhi, right? That old guy is no match for him. You guys better be careful."

This guy swore that he would live and die with Nanjing, and he even blocked the road to prevent the people from escaping.

In the end, he sneaked away, causing a major defeat for the Nanjing defenders.

The fact that Nanjing was only defended for a dozen days was also related to him. He even had to bear the main responsibility for the Nanjing Massacre!

The funniest thing is this kind of people, in the end nothing happens to them and they are still alive and well.

This is also the reason why Gu Changfeng hates the Kuomintang.

Liao Guangyi looked at Gu Changfeng in confusion and said, "Why do you think so? It was Commander Tang who insisted on defending Nanjing to the death."

"What's the use? You should think about it yourself!"

Gu Changfeng was just giving a casual reminder, it was up to them whether to believe it or not.

But having said that, I should do something, at least I can't let this guy escape alive.

As far as I remember, this guy seemed to have escaped from the Xiaguan Ferry, and it was not long after the war started.

"What do you know?" Liao Guangyi's expression became serious when he saw Gu Changfeng still said this.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "If you believe me, try to pay attention to the movements of this old man."

"Also, if he wants to escape, it's at the Xiaguan Ferry. You can also pay attention to this."

"There are too many people who say one thing and do another. Tang Shengzhi is not trustworthy."

There's nothing wrong with talking to big brother Liao Guangyi. He doesn't care even if it's exposed.

At worst, we can just evacuate and not fight the battle in Nanjing.

Liao Guangyi closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I'll report this to the commander."

"But Commander Tang, as the highest commander of Jinling City, this matter is not easy to handle."

Gu Changfeng said indifferently: "It's up to you guys. Just keep an eye on it if it doesn't happen."

He knew very well that Jinling City could not be defended. Nearly 20 Japanese soldiers were no joke.

He has killed quite a few during this period, but the enemy's morale is high and their troops are replenished continuously.

As a little Karami, he really didn't have any good ideas, and it was good enough that he could remind the commander Liao Lei.

"Well, I know this. Let's take it one step at a time!"

After hearing what Gu Changfeng said, Liao Guangyi felt a shadow in his heart.

"By the way, Brother Liao, if things get out of hand, organize the people to evacuate. I have plenty of ships here."

Gu Changfeng suddenly remembered the previous arrangements and had not asked how much had been prepared since he came back.

This was indeed a mistake, but fortunately it’s not too late now.

Well, after these words were spoken, Liao Guangyi became even more confused.

"Changfeng, you, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, just a precaution. Just listen to me on this matter."

Gu Changfeng didn't want to say too much about things that hadn't happened yet.

This kind of prophetic thing is too weird, it's not good to talk too much about it.

Liao Guangyi smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. It's useless for me to say anything about this matter. I'd better report it to the commander-in-chief."

He is just the commander of a ragtag group. Although he has recently gained some attention by following Liao Lei, he is still the commander of the group.

How can he have a say in high-level affairs? It is not his turn to worry about any decisions.

To put it bluntly, he is just a high-level worker.

"Well, that's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Gu Changfeng originally wanted to snipe Tang Shengzhi to death and then let Liao Lei take command.

Then I thought it was unrealistic. Liao Lei was not qualified, so there was no point in talking about it, so I simply didn't mention it.

"Okay, Brother Liao is pretty much on the same page. We didn't get to drink last time."

"I'm the host this time, let's have a drink first."

Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Okay, since you're a wealthy local, I won't refuse."

Liao Guangyi never refuses anyone who comes to him.

There were few people in the army who didn't like drinking, but it was battlefield discipline that prohibited drinking. In fact, he had been craving for wine for a long time.

The Japanese attack is expected to start in a day or two, so a drink tonight wouldn't be bad...
