Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 185 Return
The defense zone of the 88th Division is Yuhuatai. Now the focus of the contention between the two sides is still on the outer Xicheng Line. After the guerrilla column returned to the base, Sun Yuanliang let them rest in place and temporarily use them as a reserve force.

Sun Yuanliang did not expect that the 527th Regiment could break out. This was a very happy thing for him. The organization of the Shanghai-Nanjing Guerrilla Column was a random stamp. No matter how many people there were, it could only be considered a regiment.

In order to appease him, I had to give him some more compensation in other places, such as supplies and rest, so that he could relax, and then asked:
"Qianli, if you have any other requests, feel free to ask. You have been wronged this time, and the higher-ups are also in trouble. I hope you can understand."

Yue Qianli didn't care about these things. He just wanted him to be the regiment commander forever. He preferred the guerrilla column, which had no organization. He could stuff as many troops as he wanted, as long as he could fight the Japanese.
He also knew that Sun Yuanliang was not to blame for this. This division commander had always been kind to him, so he smiled and said:

"Commander, since the war began, so many of our comrades have sacrificed their lives for our country. We are very grateful to be able to survive and continue to fight the Japanese.

I have no objection to the arrangement made by the higher-ups. The 527th Regiment will rest for a while. When we are needed to go to the battlefield, just give us the order."

Sun Yuanliang seemed to be moved by Yue Qianli's magnanimity, and supplied 527th Regiment with 20 rounds of ammunition in the name of the division headquarters. The matter came to an end. He still needed Yue Qianli, this lucky general, to support him at the critical moment.

Yue Qianli's troops had been fighting continuously for more than three months since they participated in the Battle of Shanghai. The soldiers were exhausted and in urgent need of rest, so they accepted Sun Yuanliang's kindness and maintained a semi-rest state. Officers and soldiers were even allowed to take turns going out to experience the prosperity of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

After he arranged the work, he also became a hands-off boss. He rarely invited Duan Yaqin to visit the Confucius Temple and appreciate the unique charm of the Qinhuai River. However, there was an extra light bulb with no eyes, so Yue Qianli had to remind her:
"Monica, Jinling City is very safe. How about you go around by yourself? I'll send you a handsome tour guide and bring a few strong bodyguards. I guarantee you can walk around the Qinhuai Sea."

Unfortunately, Monica didn't understand and waved her hand:
"I don't need to walk sideways. Only devils and crabs walk sideways. Yaqin is my best friend. I like being with her and I want to protect her!"

Damn, he’s only been here for a short time and he already knows the word “best friend”. Doesn’t he know there’s a saying in China: Beware of fire, theft and best friends?
Yue Qianli couldn't help but complain in his heart, and continued to say with a pleasant face:
"Yaqin, I'm here. You see, I have a gun. I can protect her. You'll get bored if she keeps following us.

I'll give you a few dollars, and you can go buy some candied haws in the surrounding area!" Monica hugged Duan Yaqin's arm and said provocatively:

"I'm on guard against you because you have a gun!
How stingy! They want to send me away with just a few strings of candied haws. I won't go anywhere but follow Yaqin."

Seeing Yue Qianli's hopeless look, Duan Yaqin couldn't help but smile, and the Qinhuai flowers bloomed immediately.

Yue Qianli seriously suspected that the gun Monica mentioned was not the same one he was carrying. This little foreign girl's thoughts were not very simple. He had to remind Yaqin to stay away from her in the future. Men should also be on guard against fire, theft and best friends, as they could easily teach Yaqin bad things.

Monica was almost clinging to Duan Yaqin, and it seemed impossible to drive her away, so she had to take them to eat all kinds of delicious food;
If the hard approach doesn't work, change your strategy, use sugar-coated bullets to corrode them, and if you can't drive them away, pull them over!
The old ginger is indeed the spicier, the ten-mile Qinhuai River has more delicious food than the entire beautiful country;
No matter how much Monica thought about, she could not get more than the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and various exquisite small items that filled the streets. Soon she was reluctant to leave and forgot about the safety of her best friend.

"Brother Yue, where's Monica? She's unfamiliar with the place and could easily run away."

Duan Yaqin asked worriedly, and Yue Qianli said mischievously:
"It's okay. I arranged for a few handsome guys to accompany her, especially the guard captain, who is 1 meters tall and can beat 85 hooligans at once.
The most important thing is that I gave him dozens of dollars. Whatever Monica wanted to eat or buy, the handsome guy would pay for it. I paid for it on a real-time basis. I think I am very generous!"

Duan Yaqin couldn't help but smile. Yue Qianli's little thoughts were written on his face, but she liked it, so she said shyly:

"Then let's go shopping on our own!"
