Chapter 36
When passing through this area, no one could laugh anymore, and the mood became extraordinarily heavy.

The sound of guns and guns sounded not far away, causing many officers and soldiers of the [-]th Regiment to look sideways.

I saw that a group of officers and soldiers of the [-]th Regiment was launching another attack on the Yangshupu Navy Pier, with great momentum.

In the distance, a lieutenant colonel with two bars and two stars on his collar was looking at the front-line battlefield with a telescope, and naturally he found the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Regiment passing by Yangshupu.

That's right, this person is Xiong Xinmin, who just returned from the [-]th Regiment [-] Brigade and was then promoted to the [-]th Regiment leader.

Xiong Xinmin's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhang Tianhai, the leader of the team.

"Come on, come here, stop the group of soldiers in front of me! Tell them to wait a moment, and I will arrive later, saying that I, Xiong Xinmin, have something to do with their commander!" Xiong Xinmin said to the staff around him.

"Yes." The staff officer responded and ran away quickly.

……

After a while, Zhang Tianhai was stopped by a young staff officer.

"Are you the commander of this unit? I'm the regimental staff officer of the [-]th regiment." The young lieutenant officer stopped Zhang Tianhai, who also had the rank of lieutenant, and gave a military salute.

Yes, Zhang Tianhai was indeed the battalion commander of the major of the [-]th Regiment at this time, but due to the fierce battle, he really couldn't find the time to change the collar badge.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Tianhai, the battalion commander of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment." Zhang Tianhai replied sternly, returning a military salute by the way.

"Hello, battalion commander Zhang, we have something to do with you in the regiment seat. He told you to wait a moment, and he will come right away." The lieutenant was quite winking, after all, he had been in the regiment headquarters for a long time, and things like this were also the case. I have encountered - this person said that he was a battalion commander, but he wore a collar patch with the rank of lieutenant.

Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said, "Okay. Just wait here! I'll report the situation to the officer first, and come back soon."

"Okay." The staff officer responded, and then quietly waited in place.

Zhang Tianhai knew that it was the old chief who was looking for him, and he had to give him face, so he went to Fang Ren to report.

Fang Ren agreed to what Zhang Tianhai said, and immediately let the officers and soldiers wait in place, and then came to see Xiong Xinmin with Zhang Tianhai.

When Fang Ren and Zhang Tianhai returned to the place where the [-] regiment staff were waiting, Xiong Xinmin was already waiting here.

"Congratulations, Captain Xiong!" It was Fang Ren who spoke. He strode forward and stretched out his right hand. He was Xiong Xinmin's old superior, so he didn't like a military salute when his superiors met, but like an old friend. We shook hands as we met.

"Congratulations, old officer." Zhang Tianhai gave a military salute, not to mention the fact that Xiong Xinmin is his old officer, his current military rank and position are higher than him, so it's not wrong to be a officer.

"Chief of Staff, Yulin. You are all here." Seeing the old officers and subordinates who were still fighting side by side in the morning, although their identities were different at this time, how could it be said that they were also old troops?So Xiong Xinmin was quite happy.

"Well, our [-]th Regiment suffered a lot in the battle at this time. Except for the second battalion, which suffered slightly less losses, the other two battalions suffered heavy casualties. As for the first battalion you were serving in, the casualties were It's over halfway." Fang Ren sighed softly.

"So are we going to take a rest and replenish now?" Xiong Xinmin said sternly.

Fang Ren nodded and said, "Yes, the casualties are too heavy. If we don't withdraw and make repairs, the first battalion will be wiped out."

After getting this answer, Xiong Xinmin looked at Zhang Tianhai and asked, "Yulin, how many officers and soldiers did our battalion sacrifice in this battle?"

Looking at the concerned look of the old officer, Zhang Tianhai's eyes were slightly moist, and he reported a number that made his nose sour: "303 people were sacrificed and 49 people were seriously injured. Among them, Xu San was the only one left. The dog is alone..."

The number of seriously wounded people who sacrificed and lost their combat effectiveness actually reached 352. As the old battalion commander of the first battalion, Xiong Xinmin naturally knew what this meant.

I saw Xiong Xinmin sighed softly and said: "Thinking that when our first battalion set out from Xi'an, there were 650 people, and there will be less than 300 people left in this battle. If we continue to fight like this, the first battalion is indeed It's going to light up..."

"Well..." Zhang Tianhai replied softly, not knowing what to say, because compared to the old battalion commander Xiong Xinmin, it was clear that Xiong Xinmin's feelings for the first battalion were deeper than that of a traveler like him.

"Yulin." Xiong Xinmin patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder lightly and said, "You are now the battalion commander of the first battalion, and now the first battalion will be handed over to you. You must carry forward the first battalion as a unit. We are a battalion, there are no cowards. Young people, work hard!"

When Xiong Xinmin said these words, he was very sincere. Compared with expectations, he felt his nostalgia more. Indeed, he had been in this army for so long, and he had feelings no matter what.

"Yes. Battalion commander!" Zhang Tianhai saluted.

"Okay, Chief of Staff Fang, Yulin, it's time to disturb your time. Now I won't waste your time, you can go with your business!" Xiong Xinmin solemnly gave a military salute, This is the official job handover after he left the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment!
"Okay! Take care of yourself!" Fang Ren nodded and returned a military salute with Zhang Tianhai.

After that, Fang Ren and Zhang Tianhai left, taking the soldiers from the [-]st and [-]rd battalions of the [-]th Regiment.

Looking at the back of the old army leaving, Xiong Xinmin was filled with emotion, and said to the staff around him, "Let's go, Staff Long."

"Yes, the group seat." Staff Long responded.

……

Since the Gongda Spinning Factory, Yangshupu, Hongkou and Jiangwan are all in fierce battles, the task of rest and replenishment cannot be carried out in the city, so it can only be carried out on the outskirts of the city.

Yangshupu is not very far from the suburbs, only about four or five kilometers. After all, Shanghai at this time was not as big as later generations.

Therefore, the exhausted divisions of the two battalions, the first battalion and the third battalion, took an extra meal and ran an armed five-kilometer run.

Speaking of this, the officers and soldiers of the first and third battalions are somewhat envious of the soldiers of the second battalion - the second battalion has served as a reserve team since the beginning of the war, and there is no need to go to the battlefield at all, except to break down Tangshan Road and Dongxi Huade. Beyond that battle.

Thinking about it, I still feel that the second battalion is easy. They served as the reserve team from the beginning, which is equivalent to a night of rest. Now the third battalion of the [-]th regiment has come over to take over the defense of Huishan Wharf. The second battalion is here, isn't it possible to rest for a while?
