War of Resistance

Chapter 84 Zhang Zhizhong's Decision
The center of gravity of the entire Third War Zone is tilted towards the SH urban area, and it is natural to have more than enough power for suburbs like Baoshan County.

After receiving a call from Jiang Fangjun, Zhang Zhizhong thought for a while and decided to dispatch troops from the urban area to reinforce the troops in Chuanshakou and Shishilin.

Zhang Zhizhong first set his sights on the 36th Division, which had just made great achievements. Logically speaking, the 36th Division had just taken down the headquarters of the enemy's special marine corps, so it would not be a problem at all to draw out a brigade of troops.

But when he thought that the [-]th Brigade was still fighting in the Jiangwan area, defending Fudan University and Jiangwan Town, Zhang Zhizhong hesitated. The [-]th Brigade won the enemy headquarters, but the casualties should not be small.

Therefore, Zhang Zhizhong set his sights on the 87th Division and the 98th Division-the 87th Division is still fighting fiercely, and only the 98th Division is left.

"Immediately call Commander Xia of the 98th Division and order him to lead his troops north to reinforce Liu Heding's Jiangfang Army!" Zhang Zhizhong said to the adjutant beside him.

"Yes, Jun seat!" The adjutant responded, and then went to convey Zhang Zhizhong's order.

Before the adjutant could walk a few steps away, he was stopped by Zhang Zhizhong: "Wait, by the way, send a telegram to Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 11th Army, to order the No. [-] Division to drive to Luodian immediately after arriving in Shanghai!"

"Yes!"

……

Luodian Town is located in the north of Shanghai and southwest of Baoshan County. It is the north gate of Shanghai, and its status is not unimportant.

If Luodian can be defended, there is no danger of the flanks being exposed to the troops fighting in the urban area of ​​SH; on the contrary, if Luodian falls into the enemy's hands, the situation in Shanghai will be in danger.

The importance of Luodian, anyone with some military knowledge can perceive it. Zhang Zhizhong was the head of education at Huangpu, how could he not see the importance of Luodian?
Why did the eleventh division go to the Shouluo store?The reason is that the Eleventh Division is the ace of Chen Cheng's civil engineering department, and it is safer to leave him alone.

After a while, the adjutant came back and reported: "Sir, Commander Xia Chuzhong of the 98th Division called back and said to lead the army north immediately!"

Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said, "Well, I see. You should rest early, there is still a combat mission tomorrow morning!"

"Yes." The adjutant didn't ask much, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Zhang Zhizhong rubbed his red eyes and looked tired. He had been restless for several days in a row. As an actual frontline commander, he was under a lot of pressure.

Soon, the 98th Division, which had just arrived in Shanghai, drove to Luodian, and the [-]th Division also headed north.

But Zhang Zhizhong was still worried about the situation in the north, so he transferred a brigade from the 87th Division to go north with the 98th Division. This brigade was Liu Anqi's [-]st Brigade.

At the same time, Zhang Zhizhong ordered the establishment of the Songhu Front Enemy Headquarters, with Wang Jingjiu, commander of the No.80 Seventh Division, as the front enemy commander. The 36th Division, 87th Division (except the 88st Brigade), and 20th Division fought on the frontal battlefields of Hongkou and Yangshupu , Independent No.[-] Brigade, Security Corps, and the Second Regiment of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps are under their command.

For a time, Wang Jingjiu had nearly [-] troops!

At this time, the sky has already revealed a touch of fish belly white, and it is about to dawn.

Gunshots resounded in Chuanshakou, Shishilin, and places like Hongkou and Yangshupu, which were still fighting fiercely.

Since the task of the 36th Division is to continue to attack the stubborn enemies in Yangshupu and Jiangwan Towns, while holding the existing positions, so as not to allow the enemy to counterattack and take them away, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade got a rare rest.

As for the combat tasks of Jiangwan Town and Yangshupu, that is the matter of the [-]th Brigade, and the tasks assigned by the division headquarters to the [-]th Brigade have been completed.

On this day, Zhang Tianhai also got up early, because the replenishment of the first battalion was coming soon.

It has to be said that the replenishment of troops in this Songhu battlefield is quite fast, and most of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield.

As we all know, in addition to the four main groups, there are two supplementary groups in the German Mechanic.

Different from the main group, the supplementary group is equipped with the equipment replaced by the previous German mechanic. Although it is insufficient compared to the main group, at least it can be regarded as fully equipped. The point is that most of them have been on the battlefield. veteran.

Supplementary regiment, supplementary regiment, as the name suggests, is that the main regiment has casualties in the battle, so let the supplementary regiment make up.

If there is no such supplementary regiment system, it would not be so easy for these three German artificers to fight for three months on the Songhu battlefield, right?

The supplementary troops arrived at seven o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Tianhai immediately scattered the supplementary forces into a battalion.

It didn't take much time for the supplementary soldiers to be incorporated into a battalion, probably less than half an hour. After all, the supplementary soldiers were all veteran soldiers who had received formal training, not new recruits.

After the formation of the troops, the soldiers of the first battalion began to have breakfast.

At breakfast, Zhang Tianhai and others welcomed an uninvited guest, no, to be precise, a group of uninvited guests.

I saw the leader wearing a dark tunic suit, with a thin face, about fifty years old, with a shaved head, and he looked quite energetic.

He was followed by a group of well-dressed bodyguards, who should not look like ordinary people, either politicians or business people.

Most of those bodyguards had pistols pinned to their waists, which were German Mauser military pistols.

These all represent that the identity of the person coming is not simple, just relying on the bodyguard with a gun.

It's just that these bodyguards all look airy, and they don't look like good people.

"Wei He, go and ask who they are." Zhang Tianhai instructed the guards beside him.

"Yes." Wei He answered and stepped forward to ask.

It didn't take long for Wei He to come back, saying that those people were representatives of the Shanghai business community and came to send some condolences to the front-line soldiers.

"Oh? Are you here to console us? Then we should go to meet this business tycoon." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, and then stepped forward.

Before Zhang Tianhai could reach the business tycoon, the tycoon greeted him with a smile: "Presumably, Your Excellency is the chief here, right?"

To be honest, Zhang Tianhai didn't have a good impression of this tycoon who didn't look like a good man, and even said he was still wary.

After all, in Shanghai at this time, in addition to the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, there was an organization that all Chinese people hated, that is, an organization composed of traitors.

That's right, when the masses in Shanghai actively supported the front-line soldiers to fight, there were also many traitors who set fire or took advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

Of course, the vigilance is hidden deep in the heart, and at this time Zhang Tianhai is not stunned, he said with a smile: "Yes, I am Zhang Tianhai, the battalion commander here."

"Hehe, Battalion Commander Zhang is really young and promising! Do you dare to ask if you are an officer and soldier of the 36th Division fighting here?" The tycoon was also smiling and polite.
