War of Resistance

Chapter 81

In the part about the cause of the Battle of Songhu, Matsui Ishigen really misunderstood the navy group, but at this moment he habitually put his hat on the navy's head.

So after receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56, No. [-] in the Navy, it is strange that Matsui Iwane was not angry.

But the anger turns to anger, but the work still has to be done. No matter how the navy and the army are at odds, it is still an internal conflict, and it must be consistent with the outside world.

"Sasaki! Change the map to Shanghai!" Matsui Ishigen ordered the Major beside him.

"Hay!" Major responded and hurriedly went to change the map.

The camera again turns to the Ninth Army Headquarters.

At this time, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the commander's department of the theater, and others had arrived here.

Adjutant Liu had already prepared clear tea, and the china teacups were wafting with faint blue smoke, indicating that the temperature of the tea was still very hot.

At the conference table, two rows of officers sat upright, waiting for Feng Yuxiang, who was sitting in the middle, to speak.

Feng Yuxiang, as the commander-in-chief of the third theater, naturally sat in the center seat. He looked around the officers with eagle eyes, exuding an official prestige that was not angry and self-righteous.

As the boss of the Northwest Army, even if he is defeated, his influence is still there. In terms of qualifications, even Jiang Zhongzheng has to call him big brother.

"Everyone, we're holding a meeting now. It's an emergency meeting about changes in the battlefield situation. We need everyone to discuss how to deal with our current changing situation." Feng Yuxiang tapped his index finger on the table with a serious expression.

Soon, someone spoke, it was the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, Zhang Zhizhong, who stood up and said: "Sir Feng, my humble opinion is that at this moment it is time to adjust the defensive posture immediately, focusing on the enemy's naval headquarters and focusing on defending and blocking the Japanese army nearby. Counterattack. At the same time, all the troops that came to reinforce them immediately entered a defensive state, focusing on Jiangwan, Huishan Wharf and Yangshupu Naval Wharf. If you form a line, the word of inferiority is over."

Feng Yuxiang nodded in agreement. As the commander-in-chief of the third war zone, the only ones who can command him are local miscellaneous troops, such as the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, No. That is absolutely immovable.

On this point, Feng Yuxiang is self-aware. He is now the commander of the theater. In a sense, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

The National Army has millions, but the number of the Central Army is only more than [-], of which there are only a dozen divisions of the Huangpu Department.

This war was a national war, and it was impossible to win it just by relying on the Central Army. After the Battle of Songhu broke out, the third theater was established immediately, and the first commander was Feng Yuxiang, the Northwest Army commander.

This is telling the Chinese people that this war is no longer a civil war in which compatriots kill each other, but a united war of resistance!

"Do you have any objections?" Feng Yuxiang looked around the crowd and saw silence.

"If there is no objection, it can be executed immediately! All departments must cooperate with the Ninth Army! The meeting is dissolved!" Feng Yuxiang said loudly, announcing the next combat mission.

Sure enough, the strong inertia of history is not so easy to change. Even if Zhang Tianhai changed a little bit of history, it was immediately corrected by history.

Soon, the battle orders were issued to the divisions and brigades, and even Zhang Tianhai, who had just left the battlefield, was called to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

Speaking of Zhang Tianhai's image at this time, it is a little better than when the battle just ended. At least the black ashes on his face have been wiped off, or Zheng Man's handkerchief.

Speaking of this, I am afraid that many people will think that Zhang Tianhai is too thick-skinned, and he can't. Reporter Zheng doesn't mind, and he still feels sorry for the leader Zhang. What about refusal?
So, Captain Zhang Da agreed.

The regiment headquarters of the [-]th regiment was silent, and the three battalion commanders, the regiment commander, the chief of staff, and the adjutant all arrived.

This is an important assignment.

Head Hu Jiaji, who was injured and had bandages all over his body, sat in the main seat, and the adjutant stood beside him.

"It's all here, so now the meeting officially begins." Hu Jiaji's voice was inevitably weak when he spoke, after all, he was a wounded several times.

When Colonel Hu announced the start of the meeting, all the officers participating in the meeting stood up straight and listened to the instructions of the Colonel.

"Since our regiment arrived in Shanghai to participate in the war on the 20th, our regiment has a firm will to fight, even overcome strong enemies, and has been affirmed by the superiors. Especially the first battalion commander Zhang, since he served as the battalion commander, he broke the enemy's headquarters. This time is a great achievement, and both the theater commander Feng and the commander-in-chief of the group army fully affirmed and commended them." After speaking, Hu Jiaji took the lead in applauding.

For a time, there was a round of applause in the small temporary regiment.

Zhang Tianhai stood up from his chair, stood at attention and saluted: "Thank you for your full affirmation, I will continue to lead a battalion of officers and soldiers to defeat the enemy! It's over!"

Looking at Zhang Tianhai who was talking impassively, Gu Xinheng's eyes flashed with envy and jealousy - there is no way, Zhang Yulin is too dazzling, and he hides his light.

From Gu Xinheng's point of view, if this goes on like this, Zhang Tianhai, a junior, will become the head of the regiment sooner than him.

You know, in terms of qualifications, he Gu Xinheng is a sixth-generation student of Huangpu; in terms of background, he is the younger brother of Gu Zhutong, deputy commander of the theater; he has long regarded the position of the next [-]th regiment commander as his own.

If Zhang Tianhai hadn't rushed out, after Hu Jiaji was promoted to the brigade commander, Gu Xinheng would have taken the position of the head of the [-]th regiment.

Zhang Tianhai's dazzling performance made the veteran battalion commander feel a crisis.

"Very good. Adjutant Yu, read out the military order of the war zone commander's department immediately!" Colonel Hu said aloud, not angry for a while.

"Yes!" Adjutant Yu replied, then opened the folder in his hand and read: "This is the headquarters of the No. 30 Sixth Division of the National Revolutionary Army. The reinforcements from the Japanese invaders have arrived. Your troops must defend Jiangwan, Fudan and Yangshupu." On the front line, don't let the Japanese invaders cross the river! The chief of the third war zone, August 26, 22, [-] o'clock!"

"Have you all heard the order of the commander's department? The mission of our regiment this time is to defend the position. Yangshupu Military Pier and Huishan Pier are the closest to the enemy's Marine Corps headquarters, and are also the most likely places for Japanese invaders to land. One. I hope that you will not be afraid of sacrifice, learn the sacrificial spirit of my Huangpu martyrs, and fight to the end!" Hu Jiaji said in a deep voice, and when he was excited, he stood up regardless of his physical condition.

"Follow the order! Fight to the death!" Everyone responded in unison.
