"Battalion commander, what should we do now, we have to sleep outside the city for the night, and then go into the city to find my sister-in-law at dawn tomorrow," Dabao asked.
"No, if you wait until dawn to enter the city, it will take at least a morning to find your sister-in-law, then the time will definitely not be enough, the brigade has explained that we will rush back to Jiangning at noon tomorrow, it seems that we have to use our brains."
Zhai Daping shook his head and said.
Brother Dabao said: "Battalion commander, although the gate of this city is closed, the brothers dare not say who they are, but it is no problem to get two strong ropes to climb in." ” They just did it, but they didn't have a ready-made rope at hand, and in this wilderness, where to find the rope If there was a forest or something, they could get some vines to weave a rope, but it was already the middle of winter, and there was no such thing as a tree vine.
Dabao They looked confused, they didn't know the curfew in Nanjing when they came, they knew that they would bring some ropes and hooks to climb over the wall, and now they can only watch Guanghuamen, what to do Zhai Daping subconsciously touched his calf, and immediately burst into ecstasy.
It turned out that due to the hurry of walking, although they stripped off the military uniform outside, the leggings on their legs were not changed, and with the cloth strips of these leggings, they were afraid that there would be no rope to climb the wall Thinking of this, Zhai Daping asked someone to quickly untie the leggings and knot them into a rope.
With the materials, it was much easier to do, and everyone was busy for a while, forming a 20-meter-long cloth rope.
Everything was ready, Zhai Daping and more than a dozen of them bent down and sneaked, bypassed the sentry post, avoided the searchlights that were turning around, and came to the city wall.
Dabao estimated the height of the city wall, saw a battlement on it, and then threw it upwards suddenly, and heard a "snap", the iron lump on the head of the rope was thrown into the battlement on the top of the city wall, and he pulled down a few times to make sure that there was no problem.
"Battalion commander, okay, who's going to go first" Zhai Daping took the rope: "Needless to say, of course I will go first, you brothers stay at the end, pay attention to vigilance, and immediately send a signal to me if there is any abnormal movement." ” After speaking, Zhai Daping paused the rope, grabbed it with both hands, kicked the city wall, and climbed up like a monkey, just climbing to the city wall in the blink of an eye.
Zhai Daping gestured downward, and the rest of the people nodded in understanding, and they all climbed the rope up, and soon turned into the city.
After finishing the matter, Zhai Daping put away the rope and handed it to Dabao for safekeeping, maybe he will need it next time.
According to the people sent by the military department to pick up their sisters-in-law, they are now housed in an air-raid shelter.
The location of the air-raid shelter is next to the Nanjing Women's Normal School, Zhai Daping led everyone all the way to hurry, and finally found the air-raid shelter at two o'clock in the morning.
Soon, in the alley near the bomb shelter, they saw a big man leading a young woman, a little boy and two old men waiting in the cold wind.
The last time Zhai Daping saw Zhou Wu's wife Xiuying was before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye.
When he saw these people waiting in the alley, he thought that Xiuying would not be wrong.
Now that the army is in chaos, who else will risk being shot and killed, regardless of the strict curfew order to come out in the middle of the night to drink the northwest wind Zhai Daping immediately went up and asked, "Brother, you are from the military headquarters of the 79th Army." ” Seeing Zhai Daping's dress, Dahan's eyes flashed with a hint of vigilance, and he neither admitted nor denied Zhai Daping's question, but just muttered: "Who are you?"
"We are from an independent brigade, and the brigade sent us to pick up people, and this is my ID."
Zhai Daping said as he handed the documents to Dahan.
Dahan was obviously very cautious, he didn't take the documents handed over by Zhai Daping, but just continued to ask: "What is the name of the chief of staff of your independent brigade, what is the name of a friend he has in Nanjing?"
This is the contact signal agreed between the old army commander and Zhou Wu, and before leaving, Zhai Daping has already memorized it.
There's no way, at this time, the little devil has too many eyes, ears and spies in Nanjing, so it doesn't hurt to be careful.
"Our chief of staff is called Ding Ning, and his friend in the Nanjing Military Command Department is called Li Chenhai, with the rank of colonel, originally from Fuzhou, Fujian."
Zhai Daping replied.
I didn't think that this big man was still not very relieved, and asked again: "What is the name of the deputy battalion commander sent by the Independent Brigade to respond?"
Zhai Daping was confused, there were two deputy battalion commanders of the special service battalion, and since Zhao Lijin died, there was now only one deputy battalion commander surnamed Chen, but he asked why he was doing this "There are two deputy battalion commanders of the special service battalion, are you asking about the one who died or the one who is still alive," Zhai Daping asked with a frown.
"Of course it's the one that's alive."
Dahan's tone loosened a little, and now he basically believed that these people in front of him were not fakes.
Even if the little devil's intelligence is very accurate, it is impossible to know it in such detail, and there are many officers who have been promoted and killed on the battlefield, and they cannot know everything and know everything.
Zhai Daping reported Deputy Battalion Commander Chen's tuba, and the big man immediately held his hand and said, "You guys are finally here, we've been waiting here all night." ” Zhai Daping looked at the two gray-haired old men and a little boy shivering in the cold wind, and felt very upset: "Brother, what do you call it?"
"Wang Xing, the combat staff officer of the 79th Army, was ordered to come to meet the family of Brigade Commander Zhou, and now that the task is complete, I should also go back."
When Wang Xing saw that the people sent by Zhou Wu had arrived, he prepared to leave.
"Brother, don't worry, you have to go back to the military headquarters, it just so happens that we are on the same road, why don't we go together."
The brigade commander has instructed that when he sees you, he must invite you to the independent brigade, and he will thank you in person. “ "Hehe, your brigade commander's kindness is understood, but I still have some personal affairs in Nanjing that I haven't finished doing, so I'm really sorry that I can't join you."
Wang Xing said.
As soon as Zhai Daping heard that people still had private matters to do, he was no longer reluctant, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, you can go to your business with peace of mind, and when you come back, you must come to the independent brigade, and I will accompany you to drink at that time, and we will drink him for three days and three nights." ” "Okay, I've made a friend of yours, and we'll meet later."
After Wang Xing finished speaking, he left, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
After Wang Xing left, Zhai Daping withdrew his attention and stepped forward to comfort Zhou Wu's parents: "The second elder has worked hard, and it is too late to be humble, and I will make amends to you when I get to Jiangning." ” Zhou Wu's father just wanted to say a few kind words, but Xiao Shunzi preemptively said: "Uncle, you guys are really slow, our family has been waiting here for a long time." ” Zhai Daping was a little embarrassed by Xiao Shunzi, he never thought that his son hadn't seen him for a few years, and he was so clever and smart, with a small mouth and sharp teeth, which was really happy. t1706231537:
