After killing all the devils in the headquarters, Lin Rui immediately ordered: "Quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan and several other platoon commanders echoed in unison, and they quickly led their own people to take separate actions.

It didn't take long for Zhou Weihan to run over from a communication room next to him, and reported to Lin Rui, who had already picked up the major general's saber and gun from Yamano Watanabe, and saluted: "Company commander, we have captured two radio stations, both of which are still usable, in the next room." ”

When Lin Rui heard this, his heart moved, and he handed the Major General's officer knife and the Southern 14th Pistol in his hand to Lin Feng next to him, and then said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

After speaking, Lin Rui took the lead and walked towards the communication room, where the bodies of three devil communication soldiers were lying on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The two soldiers of the Eighth Company were collecting the loot, and when they saw Lin Rui coming, they all stood up and saluted.

Lin Rui nodded at them, and then walked straight to one of the radio stations, and Zhou Weihan, who followed behind him, said: "The devil's communication soldiers didn't have time to destroy the radio station, so they were killed by our soldiers in the third platoon. ”

Lin Rui checked the radio station and found that it was indeed still usable, so he turned his head and asked Zhou Weihan, "Do any of you know how to use the radio?" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan waved his hand and called a squad leader and said, "This kid has participated in the radio training set up by the regiment, and is now the squad leader of our telephone squad. ”

Lin Rui looked at him, and immediately ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the regiment and the commander-in-chief, General Zhang Zhizhong, and say that the eighth company of the second regiment of our tax police has successfully raided and taken the Jiangwan Road Headquarters of the Japanese army, and killed its rear admiral Watanabe Yamano, as well as one Dazuo and one Shaozuo, and more than 100 ordinary Japanese soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" The telephone squad leader suddenly agreed, immediately stepped forward to pick up the headphones and put them on, and began to generate electricity.

Because the main force of the 8th Marine Brigade of the devils at that time was almost all pinned down by the 88th Division, the 22nd Independent Brigade, and the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, the devils had no time to return to the headquarters on Jiangwan Road.

After Lin Rui waited for the telegram to be sent, he immediately ordered the evacuation of the devil's headquarters.

Then, according to the original plan, they will kill the forward line of defense of the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese army at the front had lost contact with its headquarters, and under the front and rear attacks of the national army, the morale of the army was bound to be unstable.

Lin Rui led the Eighth Company at this time, and then launched a surprise attack from behind, which had a chance to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

……

At the same time, the General Headquarters of the 9th Army in the northern suburbs of Shanghai.

General Zhang Zhizhong, then commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army, was accompanied by Deputy Commander Huang Qixiang and others to discuss the military situation around the giant operational map.

In the past two days, the Ninth Group Army, together with the local security regiments and police corps in Shanghai and Jiangsu, totaling more than 50,000 troops, with the full assistance of the navy and air force, was unable to defeat the Japanese stronghold in Shanghai, completely annihilate it, and gain the initiative in the Songhu battlefield.

This made Zhang Zhizhong, the commander-in-chief, very embarrassed, because he knew that the Japanese army was increasing its troops at full speed, and reinforcements might rush to Shanghai at any time to participate in the war.

Zhang Zhi and others were discussing, and a confidential staff officer suddenly rushed out of the confidential room next door, and came to Zhang Zhizhong and Huang Qixiang in a hurry, and saluted and said happily: "The general seat, the deputy general seat, just got the news that the eighth company of the third battalion of the 2nd regiment of the tax police regiment, under the leadership of company commander Lin Rui, successfully attacked the enemy's Jiangwan Road headquarters at night, and completely annihilated the headquarters to defend the enemy.

He also killed several high-ranking Japanese generals, including Watanabe Yamano, who, according to the information we have, should be the deputy commander of the enemy's 3rd Fleet in Shanghai and the supreme commander of the Japanese army stationed on Jiangwan Road. ”

Zhang Zhizhong, Huang Qixiang and other senior generals present couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.

Huang Qixiang couldn't wait to speak first and asked the confidential staff officer: "Is the news true?" ”

The confidential staff officer met the eager eyes of Huang Qixiang and Zhang Zhizhong, and nodded solemnly: "Before coming to report, I have verified with the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, and the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps has indeed organized several companies to sneak attack the Japanese army through underground drainage pipes.

Among them is Lin Rui's Eighth Company! ”

"Oh, by the way, Colonel Sun Liren, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, also reported that this suggestion of sneaking into the rear of the Japanese defense line through the underground drainage network and attacking in a roundabout way was also put forward by Captain Lin Rui."

Huang Qixiang retracted his gaze a little incredulously, turned to look at General Zhang Zhizhong next to him and said, "Brother Wen Bai, this Captain Lin Rui is really a rare talent!" ”

Zhang Zhizhong is eight years older than Huang Qixiang, the two graduated from the Baoding Army Military Academy, and they are both backbone generals of the Huangpu department.

Therefore, Huang Qixiang did not commensurate Zhang Zhizhong with his position.

Zhang Zhizhong came back to his senses from the initial shock, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Well, if this plan is really proposed by this captain and company commander, then this person can really be called wise and brave." ”

In fact, Zhang Zhizhong's heart had already been transmitted back by Lin Rui at this time, which set off a stormy wave.

Zhang Zhizhong, with 50,000 of the most elite army of the Nationalist Government at that time, and the absolute superiority of the navy and air force with full assistance, failed to make substantial progress.

Now, Lin Rui has managed to kill the enemy's Jiangwan Road headquarters with only one company and two or three hundred people, and he has killed the enemy's major general and deputy commander, which may directly create an extremely favorable breakthrough for the stalemate in the battle situation.

With this record, it is enough to be proud of all the generals of the national army on the Songhu battlefield.

It's just that Zhang Zhizhong, as the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army at that time and an army general, could not praise Lin Rui, an unknown captain and company commander, excessively.

Because, this is simply a slap in the face of the Ninth Army, including himself and Huang Qixiang.

Huang Qixiang thought of one thing, and asked the confidential staff officer again: "Then how is the battle in the direction of Jiangwan Road now?" ”

The confidential staff officer said: "I learned from the news from the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police Corps and the 22nd Independent Brigade that the front-line troops are still attacking, but the Japanese army has lost its commander, and I believe that it will not be long before our army can go to substantial progress." ”

When Zhang Zhizhong heard this, he said to Huang Qixiang and several other senior staff officers: "If we can make a breakthrough on Jiangwan Road and completely annihilate the Japanese troops defending the enemy along this road, our army will be able to encircle the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters at Huishan Wharf from three sides."

At that time, the entire battle situation will take a huge turn, so the 22nd Independent Brigade and the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police are ordered to attack at all costs and annihilate the enemy on Jiangwan Road as soon as possible! ”
