Chapter 314 Lovesickness
The county magistrate of Fengxian County hurried forward and bowed, saying:
"Sir! Who are you?"
Xiang Chu said calmly: "Xiang Chu from the Military Police Rangers! I'm here to retrieve Ding Shan to serve the country."
The county chief was shocked and said, "Ah?! So you are the national hero Xiang Chu. I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
The people all exclaimed: "Wow! This good-looking officer is Xiang Chu."
"Great! I actually got to see the legendary real person. It's such a great honor!"
Amid the praises of the people, Xiang Chu rescued Ding Shan first.
Then, he changed into the identity of Qianmian Kuige and bailed Ding Shan out of Fengxian County.
Xiang Chu hosted a banquet for Ding Shan in the guise of Thousand-Faced Kuige, and specially invited Liu Zhengxiong to accompany him.
Ding Shan said gratefully: "Brother Kui! You saved my life in Shanghai that year, and you saved me again today. My life is yours anyway. What can I do for you?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Boss Ding! The Japanese invaders are now invading China and will soon attack Songhu. I rescued you so that you can redeem yourself from your crime and make meritorious contributions, recruit pirates and lake bandits, fight against the Japanese and serve the country."
"it is good!"
Ding Shan readily agreed, paused, and said with a smile,
"Brother Kui! Are you the lieutenant commander of the Military Police Special Operations Team, Xiang Chu?"
Xiang Chu didn't expect that he recognized him, so he just said tacitly:
"Yes! I have a dual identity, please keep it a secret."
Ding Shan said excitedly, "That's great! I've always told my brothers that I admire two people the most, one is Brother Kui and the other is Xiang Chu. I didn't expect that they are both my benefactors. Haha!"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The country is in crisis. Let us serve our country together."
Ding Shan said firmly: "Okay! Serve my country and repay my benefactor."
A few days later, under Ding Shan's call and Xiang Chu's command, a large number of pirates and lake robbers around Taihu Lake surrendered, accepted reorganization, and were incorporated into the Taihu Detachment of the Military Police Special Forces.
Ding Shan was appointed as the detachment leader, with a force of over a thousand men, and the number was still increasing.
Time was running out, Xiang Chu could not stay by the Taihu Lake for long, so he ordered:
"Lao Liu! You and Yang Jiang's group will stay here to help Boss Ding continue to recruit heroes and strengthen training.
Hongyi! You lead 3 teams to investigate and measure the hydrology of Chuansha, Jinshanwei, and Hangzhou Bay to find out where the enemy will land. Li Tong! You lead 2 teams to investigate the enemy situation around Shanghai. If you find any spies spying on our military intelligence, arrest them immediately.
Zhang Linmao! Kong Kong! You two come with me to downtown Shanghai."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong and others hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu was about to leave, and Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly said, "Captain! There are so many pirates from Taihu Lake, and our weapons and equipment are far from enough. What should we do?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I have already applied, you just need to be responsible for the training."
Liu Zhengxiong lowered his voice and said, "What if the quality of the personnel is too poor?"
“Are you part of the revolutionary team?”
Xiang Chu said in a low voice, and paused.
"If it doesn't work, just fire him."
"I understand! Haha."
Liu Zhengxiong came back to his senses instantly.
Xiang Chu instructed: "Let's go! Just try your best."
After saying this, he immediately took Zhang Linmao and Kong Kong to downtown Shanghai.
He brought two radios, one with his call sign and the other tuned to a radio channel specifically for listening to Japanese radio stations.
On the one hand, collect and master all kinds of information from the Japanese side, and on the other hand, constantly improve your Japanese level.
Suddenly, a faint voice came from the radio station: "China won a great victory in the Marco Polo Bridge Battle. 5600 of our soldiers participated in the battle, more than 600 were killed, and 10 Chinese participated in the battle, and died..."
Such a high death toll ratio is truly shocking.
Xiang Chu couldn't help but shed tears and sighed:
"The casualty ratio is too high. Alas!"
Zhang Linmao was driving and couldn't help asking, "Captain! How serious is the death in action?"
Xiang Chu said sadly: "28 to 1!"
"what?!"
Zhang Linmao was stunned.
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The gap in weapons and equipment is too big."
The Japanese radio station had been reporting on the battle situation. One sentence mentioned: "The hero Pan Yugui provided the 'flower in the belly' strategy, which helped the Imperial Army to capture the Nanyuan Chinese position in one fell swoop..."
"This damn traitor!"
Xiang Chu was furious and quickly sent a message to the communications room:
"The battle of Nanyuan in Beiping was lost because of a traitor named Pan Yugui who reported the matter. This person is familiar with the deployment of the 29th Army and should be a member of the 29th Army. I hope the Beiping Station will eliminate him!"
During wartime, unlike in peacetime, there are people manning the radio station in the telecommunications room.
Soon, the radio station received a reply: "The message has been received! Notify the Peking Station immediately."
I didn't expect that I could get such useful information by listening to the Japanese radio broadcasts.
This Japanese announcer was probably a novice, reading from a script provided by the military.
When we entered downtown Shanghai, the radio signal sounded again.
Xiang Chu hurriedly transcribed and deciphered the message sent by Ning Caiwei:
"Brother Chu! I've arrived in Chongqing. Zheng Longzheng helped us buy two houses in Shapingba. Everything is fine! Don't worry. Pick the wild vines!"
Xiang Chu felt relieved and replied to the telegram, reporting that he was safe.
At midnight, he arrived at Chuyue Hotel with Zhang Linmao and Kong Kong.
Long Ling was still awake. She was naturally very happy to see him coming over. She said happily, "Boss! There will be a big war in Shanghai soon. We are all at a loss. I was just about to call you."
"Our properties are all in the concession, so there's no need to worry too much."
Xiang Chu smiled and pointed at Zhang Linmao and Kong Kong.
"Manager Long! Please find someone to arrange a room for them."
"no problem!"
Long Ling hurriedly accepted the order.
She immediately found someone to arrange for Zhang Linmao and Kong Kong to stay.
Then, holding the key, he said, "Boss! I'll take you to the A-di room."
Xiang Chu asked, "The reckless Yu Xiaowan doesn't live there, does she?"
Long Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Boss! Dean Yu is sick."
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "How could she, a dean, get sick?"
"If you say that, the dean won't get sick?"
Long Ling said unhappily, opened the door of A Di's room, and said with a smile, "Boss! Have a good rest. Tomorrow I will ask Yi Lao, Li Shan, Bao Da Ting, and Gan Rong to come over. They all have a lot to report to you."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that everyone is very worried about the war now!"
"Yes! There are more and more Japanese warships coming to Shanghai. I am so worried."
Long Ling said bitterly, waving her hands.
"Leader! Go to bed early."
"Don't worry! The concession is fine for now."
Xiang Chu comforted her, walked into the room carrying the suitcase and radio, turned around and closed the door, and smelled a fragrance.
"What smells so good?"
He muttered and turned on the light in the room.
In front of me stood a beautiful woman with long hair, thin figure and white clothes.
Xiang Chu jumped up in shock and yelled, "Yu Xiaowan! Are you sick? You scared me to death."
Yu Xiaowan suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears: "I just miss you so much that I'm sick. Lovesickness! Woohoo!"
"lovesickness?!"
Xiang Chu cried out in shock, wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Boom!" a sound.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the open sea.
