While Zhong Yi personally went to the lonely military camp to recruit officers and soldiers of the 524th Regiment, An Zhenyuan also raised a banner of recruiting soldiers in the tiger's den. Don't say it, you really gain something.
When Zhong Yi returned to the tiger's den, An Zhenyuan immediately rushed over to report to him.
"Mayor, there is good news." An Zhenyuan lowered his voice and said excitedly, "Great news!"
Zhong Yi said: "What good news?"
An Zhenyuan said: "Aren't we starting to recruit new team members today?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Looking at your appearance, there should be a lot of people coming to apply for the recruitment."
"Many, the door to our tiger den is about to be squeezed out. Didn't you see it when you came in? There were many people gathered on Nanjing Road and refused to leave?" An Zhenyuan said, "They were all those who came to the election but were not selected by us."
Zhong Yi said: "You just talk about how many people you have recruited."
An Zhenyuan didn't say anything, but just slapped.
Zhong Yi said: "Fifty?"
"How can it be?" An Zhenyuan said, "Five hundred, the whole five hundred!"
"Five hundred?" Zhong Yi said, "that's really a lot."
"The number is not the key." An Zhenyuan smiled and said, "The key is that these 500 newly recruited team members are basically veterans who have participated in the Battle of Songhu."
"Veter?" Zhong Yi was really moved now.
"Yes, they are all veterans!" An Zhenyuan whispered, "I really didn't expect that during the Battle of Songhu, the medical team in the concession would accept so many wounded people. Then when these wounded people recovered, the Battle of Songhu had ended and Shanghai had fallen. These veterans were stranded in the public concession and the French concession, and could not go back."
Zhong Yi slapped his forehead and said, "I really forgot about this."
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi paused and said: "However, there are definitely more than 500 veterans stranded in Shanghai to recuperate, so you have to increase the recruitment efforts and even take the initiative to come to the door. There must be contact between the veterans who have recovered from the injury. It will be much easier to find the rest of the veterans through the veterans who have been recruited."
"There must be some veterans." An Zhenyuan said, "A veteran asked me just now whether our guard needs more veterans from the National Army, saying that he could introduce people."
"Yes, of course." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Veter, you need as much as you want."
"How many do you want?" An Zhenyuan was stunned when he heard this and whispered, "Mayor, although I have not counted it, there are at least eight thousand veterans stranded in the Shanghai Concession, even if there are not ten thousand, there are at least eight thousand people. Are you sure you want them all?"
"Are you nonsense?" Zhong Yi said, "Why don't you want veterans? The Sassoon Guard can't use so many veterans, but our Zhejiang East Coast Defense Corps wants it!"
An Zhenyuan whispered: "But after we have recruited so many veterans of the National Army, will the Japanese attract the attention of the Japanese? Once the Japanese give an ultimatum to the concession, the authorities in the concession may not be able to withstand the pressure. At that time, the situation we finally opened in Shanghai will be ruined, which would be a pity."
"You don't have to worry about this." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Just just recruit and leave other things to me."
"Okay." An Zhenyuan nodded, "I'll go find those veterans now and ask them to find all the veterans of the National Army that they are familiar with, and collect as much as they can!"
...
At the same time, in a dormitory in the tiger's den.
Zhu Jiaju summoned several veterans to the front.
Zhu Jiaju was the company commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps. On the way to support Wusong Town, he was bombed by Japanese naval guns and aviation. Due to Gui Yongqing's wrong order, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps were faced with Japanese naval guns in a dense formation. The bombing of the aviation troops advanced forward, and in the end, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the entire regiment were almost wiped out!
Zhu Jiaju was also blown up by a shell, and when he woke up, he was already lying in Guangci Hospital.
There were also several veterans who were sent to Guangci Hospital by a civil stretcher team with Zhu Jiaju.
By the time they recovered from their injuries and were about to be discharged from the hospital, Shanghai had already fallen, and the public concession had become an isolated island, with Japanese or spies from No. 76 everywhere. As a last resort, they had to hide their names and work as loaders at the dock.
Although he worked as a loader, Zhu Jiaju never forgot his identity for a moment. He and his few veterans wanted to leave Shanghai at all times.
This morning, when they left the rented alley and were about to work at Shiliupu Pier, they accidentally found that the Sassoon Guard was recruiting people, so Zhu Jiaju and others decided to try their luck.
Unexpectedly, they were selected very smoothly.
As soon as Zhu Jiaju waved his hand, several veterans immediately came over.
"Brothers." Zhu Jiaju's cold eyes swept across the faces of several veterans, and then continued, "I heard that the Sassoon Guards are well treated, with good wine and meat, smoked cigarettes, and even a good salary. But you should never forget your identity and tell me who are you?"
Several veterans replied: "We are a soldier of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps!"
"Well said, we are soldiers of the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps!" Zhu Jiaju nodded and said, "Don't forget the responsibilities and missions we shoulder at any time. Once the right time comes, we must leave Shanghai without hesitation, return to the army, and continue to fight against the Japanese!"
As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome!"
When Zhu Jiaju looked back quickly, he saw that An Zhenyuan, the deputy captain of the Sassoon Guard, had already walked in.
When Zhu Jiaju saw An Zhenyuan, he immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, because what they said just now was not suitable for the top leaders of the Sassoon Guard to hear it. To put it bluntly, this is a typical traitor.
"Big brother, don't be nervous." An Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "I won't expose you to Captain George."
Speaking of this, An Zhenyuan said: "And I can tell you a secret. Captain George is actually not an American, but a real Chinese!"
"What?" Zhu Jiaju and others were stunned when they heard this, "Captain George is Chinese?"
"Yes, he is Chinese." An Zhenyuan nodded, "And you must have heard of him."
"What, we must have heard of him?" Zhu Jiaju said blankly, "How could we have heard of him?"
The other veterans also looked at each other. After the Battle of Songhu, they were stranded in the concession and were almost completely unaware of what happened outside. How could they have heard of George?
