Chapter 151: Fortress Planning
Chapter 151: Fortress Planning
"Ta-ta, tap-ta!"
The war horses were not used to the small roads in the water village and could not run as fast as lightning like they did on the grassland.
I can only walk quickly.
The weather in the Republic of China is generally colder than in my previous life. After living in the north with four distinct seasons, I have completely adapted to it both psychologically and physiologically.
I can’t go back to Shanghai in the short term, and it will take time for things to calm down.
The next time I come back, I must transport a batch of supplies and unload them from the Shilipu Wharf so that I can explain the reason for my long absence and convey my message through business.
In fact, the case is solved by gang members through information collected from the grassroots people. The current stage is to visit and investigate, so both the red and blue sides will be on good terms with the gangs to facilitate dealings and hiding, and sometimes they even need their help. Chiang Kai-shek is also a man of the underworld, and he has not had time to settle the score.
I have a certain foundation in English. Although I am a mute in English, I know the 26 letters of the English alphabet. When I was on crutches, it might have been a blessing and opportunity.
Zhang Aiguo slowly realized that the tall horse given for free by the Yan family was a southern barbarian horse, which the Mongolian and Tibetan people like to call Qiaokoma. No wonder it was so much taller.
In their previous life in 1954, they were collectively called Hequ horses.
He was riding a blue and white Mongolian horse with a simple saddle and a New Army cavalry sword hung on it. He did not use the double-sling sword strap hanging method, but directly inserted it into the sword hanger and hung it on the left side to serve as a deterrent.
Let the horse run freely, and the sound of horse hooves echoes.
There are no pursuers behind you. In troubled times, all you have to do to get to the bottom of things is to concern your own interests.
What's more, the role of the head of the police station is not popular among the people.
The trace of the carriage disappeared. God knows what happened to it. Maybe it encountered bandits who treated human life as worthless.
There are always countless excuses to deal with.
We encountered several checkpoints on the way, including security guards, police, and village guards.
Just be careful and deal with it as long as it is not excessive. Spend a small amount of money to buy peace. Maybe the other person will become an anti-Japanese hero in the future.
Although the movement of people was restricted, the government had no control over the natural disaster, and countless people fled to Shanghai from northern and southern Jiangsu.
The saber still has a certain deterrent effect. No one is willing to risk losing his life to make money, especially when the returns are obviously low.
I didn't encounter any highway robberies.
I sat in a tea stall at the edge of the village drinking tea and was not questioned again.
Are honest people born to be bullied?
The slight exposure of its sharp claws achieved a result that made Zhang Aiguo feel both amused and helpless.
Hard-working cattle and horses, whether used as riders or servants, eventually become meat eaters; resistance only accelerates the evolutionary process.
Obviously, nothing can be accomplished without a leading brother. But it is not easy to be a leading brother, as his changes are like magic, which is dazzling.
I had some feelings and some insights, but as I drank a bowl of green tea, they eventually turned into loneliness.
The military branch line and checkpoints can be seen from a distance. There are machine guns mounted on them. Judging from the scope, they should be Czech ZB26 light machine guns, and the handles are very obvious.
It is estimated that the number of this gun copied and purchased in China exceeded 10, and it was the main machine gun during the War of Resistance.
Turning and walking along the Yangtze River, the surface of the river changes from time to time, becoming wider or narrower.
In the field of vision of the telescope, the number of warships, wooden sailing ships, small steamers, and small fishing boats was increasing.
The river surface in front suddenly shrank and became noticeably narrower.
On the left side there are low-altitude mountains, rising one after another, and looking quite steep from a distance.
We arrived at our destination, Jiangyin.
江阴拥有7000年人类生息史、5000年文明史、3800年筑城史、2500年文字记载史、1734年建县史,悠久的吴文化。
Also known as the tail of the river and the beginning of the sea, the fortress Huangshan is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, between Nanjing and Shanghai, bordered by Junshan to the west, and Xiaoshan and Changshan to the east.
Its terrain is dangerous, with the river only 1.25 kilometers wide, making it the narrowest point in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is known as the "gateway to the river and the sea" and the "navigation fortress."
Familiarize yourself with the road in advance, as this is where the largest and most heroic battle of the Chinese Navy in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will take place.
After the Japanese captured the fortress, they seized a lot of artillery pieces. Although they caused some damage during the retreat, they still seized a considerable number of artillery pieces, artillery shells and other ammunition.
There will always be compromises in the implementation of the National Army's military discipline and orders. The soldiers at the bottom are full of enthusiasm, but the officers above only care about enriching themselves, and saving their lives and making money are the top priority.
Patrol boats were running back and forth on the river, and the flags with a blue sky, a white sun and a red earth were fluttering in the breeze.
Away from the wooden stakes and barbed wire, military restricted area signs can be seen everywhere, and sentries are patrolling with live ammunition.
There was a flash of light in the distance; it was the reflection of the telescope's glass.
If you see the other person, the other person will see you.
Go, don't stop.
Three incense sticks were left burning in the open space, silently paying tribute to the heroes.
Zhang Aiguo led his horse into Jiangyin City.
Along the way, I have seen too many types of guns, said to be as many as hundreds, with different years of use, different calibers, and different origins. The light weapons equipment of the Republic of China was unimaginably messy, the pressure of logistics supply was greater than Mount Tai, and the animal power of the baggage could not bear the load.
Alas! How sad!
I took out my ID and paid the city entry fee.
I found a nearby restaurant, lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Sir, you are here."
The waiter came forward attentively and led Zhang Aiguo to a seat by the window on the second floor.
He took the white towel on his shoulder and wiped the table.
He handed over the menu respectfully.
"What would you like to eat?"
"I heard there are a lot of fish in Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River?"
"Sir, are you from outside?"
The guy looked at Zhang Aiguo and nodded.
"You asked the right question. Our eels are the most delicious."
"Then you can choose from two or three of your favorite dishes and a pot of wine."
Zhang Aiguo took out a dollar and put it on the table.
The guy picked it up, but didn't blow it in front of his face, as that would be disrespectful. Instead, he tossed it in his hand, and got a general idea in his mind.
"Okay, I'll give you a cross-bridge eel, a steamed shad, stir-fried bean sprouts, a bowl of knife fish noodles, and a pot of white wine."
"I have a big appetite."
"Then I'll give you some more horseshoe crisps to top it off."
"No, um, I heard there are pufferfish?"
"Sir, you are well prepared, but this puffer fish is at its tastiest in March, so we still have to wait for quite some time."
"You deserve to be unlucky. Just go ahead and do it."
"Hey, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Ding ding, the waiter came over with a tray and placed a plate of pink salt beans, a pot of white flower wine warmed in hot water, a set of bowls and chopsticks, and wine glasses on the table.
There is also a hot towel soaked in a small white porcelain basin and a cup of tea on the tray for guests to wash up.
"Sir, drink first, I'll be right back."
Pick up the pink salt beans and put them in your mouth.
It is crispy, fragrant and crunchy, and has a unique taste when paired with a sip of wine.
Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, the leisurely days will not last long.
Children are running, women are chasing, old people are laughing, and life is so beautiful.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the number of casualties in Jiangyin accounted for 24%, and the number of people fleeing accounted for 33%.
Our ancestors in the nine springs may be looking at this world that they once were familiar with with their eyes open, but in silence!
