Chairman Jiang nodded and said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, so let's do it, the reward will not be wanted, the Tiger Ben battalion will be expanded into the Tiger Ben Regiment, and the Xia Chao will serve as the colonel and regiment leader, and the officers in the regiment will be appointed by themselves and reported to the Military Commission for approval." ”

Now, except for Hu Zongnan and others, everyone is very satisfied, and the most satisfying thing is that the summer dynasty is over, a medal has a fart use, and the expansion of the army is real money.

Next, to discuss the next operational deployment, Chen Cheng originally wanted Xia Chao to talk about his opinions, but when he saw today's situation, he glanced at him, and then shook his head. Xia Chao understood, so he kept silent.

The later meetings have nothing to do with the summer dynasty. He stayed in Nanjing for two days, got together with his eldest brother Xia Feng and Zhang Zizhong and others, and returned to Shanghai.

With the help of Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong, the Tiger Ben Regiment was soon established. With approval, Xia Chao returned to the Jiangjun Mountain base in Nanjing with the Tiger Ben Battalion in Shanghai.

The new Huben Regiment has a total establishment of 2,786 people, which is organized into a regimental headquarters, a special combat team, 4 directly subordinate companies, 3 infantry battalions, a health team, and so on. The officers are still those people, but their ranks have been raised by two levels.

The 4 direct companies in the Tiger Regiment are very distinctive, and the commander of the fire company, Frank, now has 3 artillery platoons, armed with 9 88 mm guns? Flak?18 howitzers, 2 heavy machine gun platoons, armed with 9 Maxine heavy machine guns fed by 250 canvas chains. Unlike the Japanese army, each artillery unit was equipped with a pistol or automatic firearm.

Arthur, the commander of the engineer company, is no longer in other positions, and the engineer company has two ground explosion platoons and two road and bridge platoons. The company headquarters is directly subordinate to a demining squad. It's also a gun for each person.

The most impressive thing is the anti-aircraft company, with a strength of 5 platoons, 16 anti-aircraft guns and 48 anti-aircraft machine guns. Gao Ping dual-purpose, is the summer dynasty's favorite weapon. The company commander was a former German anti-aircraft artillery captain Feng Sen.

The rest is the baggage company. The firepower of the Tiger Regiment is strong, and the pressure on logistics supply is also great. The requirements for material transportation are also very high, with 36 German-made trucks.

Chen Shuming was in charge of recruitment, Cui Xiaobao was in charge of equipment, and Bergman and Ma Li were in charge of training infantry battalions and other technical arms. Xia Chao and Xu Feihu specially trained the special combat team.

This time, the special combat team is positioned as a battalion-level organization, and consists of a team headquarters, a reconnaissance unit, a sniper unit, a fire support unit, and an assault unit. There are 37 people in each detachment and 158 people in the whole team. Zhang Quan served as the captain. Each person has one set of special operations equipment and one set of infantry equipment of the Japanese army. All 10 Japanese trucks were equipped with special combat teams.

The Tiger Regiment is a fully mechanized unit, and looking at the whole of China, it is definitely the best-equipped unit. There used to be opinions, but I heard that many weapons were bought out of their own pockets. Those who have opinions immediately stopped talking, they don't have time to drink the blood of the soldiers, they pay for it themselves, don't even think about it.

For the next month, there was nothing to do, just training and training.

During this time, Xia Chao and Hans met. Hans revealed that the German Ministry of Military Industry did have the idea of inviting Xia Chao to visit Germany. However, he did not feel any danger.

Summer Chao asked about Hans's relationship with Lina, and Hans said that he had nothing to do with Lina. Lina had not been with General Weicaier for long, and Hans did not know Lina very well.

Summer Chao asked Lina if she had another identity, and Hans said it was possible, maybe an SS person, and he was not sure.

Hans said that he would secretly investigate Lina's identity and keep in touch with Xia Chao at all times.

Xia Chao always paid attention to the news of the Battle of Songhu and was ready to attack at any time.

The Battle of Songhu has been going on for more than a month, and due to the Xia Dynasty, the national army has won a period of time, and the number of reinforcements has arrived in Shanghai, which is not as refueling as in history, and the strength is much stronger than in history.

When reinforcements from three divisions of the Japanese army arrived, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides. The Japanese did not advance much, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The battle line has been maintained in the area of Luodian and Liuhang Town.

On 27 September, the situation suddenly deteriorated.

General Matsui Ishine was originally bent on opening up the passage from Luodian to Shanghai and cutting off the Shanghai-Nanjing railway, but seeing that the battle situation was stalemate, he had calmed down and decided to change his tactics.

He consulted with the domestic base camp, and with the approval of the emperor, sent the 39th Division from China, suddenly landed in the area of Laogang Town in Pudong, immediately occupied Laogang Town and Donghai Town, and then continued to attack in the direction of downtown Shanghai in the northwest. At this point, the total strength of the Japanese army dispatched to Shanghai reached 310,000.

Originally, the total strength of the Japanese army participating in the Battle of Songhu was 280,000, and history has been changed a lot by the Xia Dynasty.

Zhang Fakui's division of the right wing corps defending Shanghai, the 21st Group Army of Liao Lei of the Gui Army and the 10th Army of Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army resisted the 39th Division of the Japanese Army on the front line of Huanglou Town and Liuzao Town. The fighting was extremely fierce. Hu Zongnan was ordered to reinforce the south.

Ever since Hu Zongnan entered Shanghai, Chairman Chiang saw a large number of local troops entering the Shanghai Theater of Operations, so he deliberately preserved part of his strength, so Hu Zongnan's southern part was never used as a campaign reserve. This time, the Japanese army suddenly changed its tactics, and Zhang Fakui really had no troops to send, so he asked Chairman Chiang for help, and Hu Zongnan was ordered to replace Liu Xiang of the Sichuan army.

Strange to say, since the last victory in Luodian, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army, although they inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army, have not achieved a decent victory. Hu Zongnan has long been holding back his strength, wanting to make a big victory and let the world see the prestige of his first army in the world.

After receiving the order, he immediately sent a report to Liu Xiang, saying that he would go to support them immediately.

History has changed a lot, originally Zhang Zhizhong was transferred, and his commander of the Central Group Army was replaced by Zhu Shaoliang, but now Zhang Zhizhong still holds the position. Zhang Zhizhong sent a telegram to Xia Chao and asked him to lead his troops to Shanghai to participate in the war.

Nanjing General Mountain Base.

After receiving the order to go to Shanghai, the summer dynasty convened a meeting of officers to arrange for the promotion. Even the above officers attended the meeting.

Xia Chao just read out Zhang Zhizhong's order. Cui Xiaobao, who was wearing a lieutenant colonel uniform, stood up and said, "Brother Tian, I must go this time." Every time I went to war, I was left at home, and I didn't do it. ”

In the army, Cui Xiaobao should be called the position in the Xia Dynasty army, but the title of Brother Tian is the prerogative of Cui Xiaobao, Chen Shuming and Xu Feihu, and others do not have this qualification.

Zheng Lanni also said: "Tuanza, I will also go this time." Please approve it. ”

Chen Shuming knew that Xia Chao would not let him go, but when he saw that Zheng Lanni was going, he said, "Brother Tian, I will go too." ”

Since Bergman came to China, many of his subordinates have participated in the battle, and he is also eager to try, speaking in non-standard Chinese: "Boss, I think that as the deputy commander and chief instructor of the whole regiment, it is necessary for me to go to the front line to observe on the spot, so that I can find problems and improve them." "He's finally been promoted to colonel now. He was also the second colonel in the regiment.
