"Ah, really?"

Zhou Juncheng glanced at Captain Liu and Captain Fu with some surprise, and his face looked much better.

"There is no falsehood...... Since the launch of the attack on the Japanese troops in the concession on the 13th, the units of the 87th Division have stormed Hujiang University and the Gongda Yarn Mill, and the losses have been extremely heavy."

Commander Fu explained to Zhou Juncheng in detail: "If nothing else, let's take the 517th Regiment of Commander Liu as an example, when attacking Hujiang University on the 14th, it lost almost half of the regiment, and it was hard to take it down after a day and a night. ”

"The offensive resumed on the 18th, and Regiment Commander Liu once again led his troops to attack Hujiang University, and the Japanese army strengthened its defense, but the 517th Regiment fought hard for two days and two nights, and all the veterans were gone. Now all the recruits under the command of Regiment Commander Liu, seventeen or eighteen years old, have not even touched a gun for a few days, so he does not agree with Commander Zhou's style of play."

"But who would have thought that Commander Zhou would make a surprise attack and go straight inside the devil and come to a center to blossom...... It's also strange that we have no eyes, and we actually abandon Commander Zhou, I'm really sorry for Commander Zhou and the brothers of the new Second Division."

Graduated from the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall 12th Infantry Section Fu Antan is also regarded as a legend in Shanghai, his ancestral home in Wenchang, Hainan once went to France to study, five years ago as the colonel of the 19th Route Army to participate in Shanghai's "January 28" Anti-Japanese War, and then served as the colonel of the Shanghai Police Security Corps for a long time. On the 9th of this month, two officers and men of the Japanese navy stationed in Shanghai drove into the Hongqiao airfield, and it was Regiment Commander Fu who was ordered to kill them, and on the 13th the Japanese army used this as an excuse to attack Shanghai on a large scale, and Regiment Commander Fu led his troops to resist and the Battle of Songhu broke out.

Captain Fu's words were reasonable, well-founded and restrained, and his posture was very low, which made Zhou Juncheng feel a lot better, but in the face of the huge casualties in his headquarters, Lao Zhou still couldn't let go, and he straightened his clothes indifferently and did not speak

The scene was a little cold for a while.

Head Liu's face was embarrassed and he didn't know what to say, but Head Fu coughed lightly and hurriedly glanced at Wan Molin next to him.

Wan Molin was a little anxious when he saw that the three regiment commanders had a dispute, after all, now that the fierce battle in Songhu was raging, all Chinese should unite and unite with the outside world, and the new 2nd Division and the 87th Division belonged to the elite of the national army, let alone internal friction.

Wan Molin coughed lightly, walked to Zhou Juncheng's side, and explained:

"Commander Zhou, in my opinion, Commander Liu is also a respectable person, and he is not willing to stain his official hat red with the blood of the officers and soldiers under his command, which is understandable. This time, the new second brother suffered heavy losses, which was also in line with Commander Liu's prediction, he believed that the courage of the puppet alone could not overcome the strong fortifications of the Japanese army, and the only thing that did not know the way was that you had already taken countermeasures, so there was a misunderstanding...... If possible, I think Regiment Commander Liu will not retreat half a step even if he completes the entire regiment again."

"Yes, if we had known that there was hope for conquering the Dao, we would never take half a step back" Head Fu nodded straight and echoed Wan Molin's meaning.

Captain Liu on the side laughed and said with a sigh: "If I know that your new second division has a magic weapon to win by surprise, even if a regiment is wiped out, Lao Tzu will personally lead people to charge, and the new second division brother will not suffer a little loss."

Hearing the arguments of Commander Fu and Commander Liu, Zhou Juncheng's expression finally eased, sighed, and said in his heart, the master seat asked you to follow Lao Tzu to get a little light, and let you increase your military merits...... In that case, well, don't blame us.

Zhou Juncheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Commander Liu and Commander Fu, raised his hand and said politely: "Commander Liu, Commander Fu, our regiment has suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is even more amazing, if it is ......"

"Head Zhou, just open your mouth...... As long as we can do it, we will do it" Seeing that Zhou Juncheng showed signs of relenting, Head Fu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "If the brothers want the girl to sing a little song, I will definitely arrange it." In addition, there is a Qing Qi person in Huxi Baihualou who admires Captain Zhou——"

"Nonsense"

Zhou Juncheng's face was cold, and his anger rushed straight to his head, he just wanted to get some weapons and equipment for the troops, who would have wanted to make Commander Fu misunderstand.

Zhou Juncheng made a move, dragged the deputy regiment commander Major Chi Yuming over, and said to Liu and Fu: "This is my deputy regiment commander, he knows the losses of our regiment best, let him talk to you."

After speaking, Zhou Juncheng pulled Wan Molin regardless of it and went to the side to visit the wounded and sick of the three regiments.

After about half an hour, Zhou Juncheng and Wan Molin finished checking the wounded, and the jubilant Deputy Head Chi came to Zhou Juncheng's side to prepare a report. Zhou Juncheng apologized to Wan Molin and came to a secluded place with Deputy Head Chi.

Chi Yuming introduced the results of the negotiations: "Regimental Commander, Regiment Commander Liu and Regiment Commander Fu considered it and were willing to give us ten Czech light machine guns, fifty Thomson submachine guns, ten Springfield sniper rifles equipped with optical instruments, and four 150 mm heavy mortars to make up for the huge losses of our regiment in this battle."

Presumably, the Czech light machine guns and mortars were produced by the 517th Regiment, and the 87th Division was worthy of being a German armor division built by the Nationalist Government with huge financial resources, and it was generous; The Thomson submachine gun and the Springfield sniper rifle were provided by the Shanghai Police Security Corps, and Shanghai is worthy of being the largest commercial port in the Far East, and the troops stationed here for a long time are really fat

Zhou Juncheng has been competing with the Han Tiecheng Regiment of the Second Division, one is the absolute main force of the First Brigade, and the other is the pioneer of the Second Brigade

Now that he finally has good equipment, I don't know that Zhou Juncheng, who has begun to train sharp knife companies for each regiment, wonders when his special operations elite will be formed.

But after thinking about it, this bit of weapons and equipment is still not enough, Zhou Juncheng frowned with some dissatisfaction, squinted at Deputy Commander Chi, and said, "They only use this little thing to fool people?" ”

"Ahem—"

Deputy Regiment Commander Chi coughed in surprise, and only after calming down did he smile awkwardly, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and he twitched his cheeks: "Commander Fu and Regiment Commander Liu said that they can only come up with so many things, and after continuous fierce battles, now their troops are also seriously short of weapons and equipment." However, Head Fu said, he said......"

"What did he say?" Zhou Juncheng asked with a tiger face.

Deputy Regiment Commander Chi glanced at Zhou Juncheng timidly: "Commander Fu said that the war has created many orphans and widows, and now there are a large group of mothers-in-law and aunts in Shanghai and the surrounding areas who admire the officers and men of our new Second Division very much, and they all want to marry our officers and soldiers."

Zhou Juncheng almost choked on his own saliva, he never thought that Captain Fu would come to this set.

Zhou Juncheng muttered, now there are many singles in the regiment who are over 30 years old, take the seriously injured veterans this time as an example, there must be some veterans who are missing arms and legs and have to be discharged, and they must have a difficult life in the locality. If you ask them a mother-in-law at this time, you will be worthy of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Juncheng nodded and said: "Since the women like the officers and soldiers of our new Second Division, let them go to our field hospital, visit and comfort our seriously injured soldiers, and tell those mothers-in-law that we ordinary soldiers are the real heroes."

"Okay"

Deputy Head Chi patted his chest: "Tuanzuo, I will personally handle this matter, and strive to let every one of our injured soldiers ask a mother-in-law to go back."

Zhou Juncheng nodded and sighed heavily: "I will try to give more pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers."

As soon as he talked about this, Deputy Head Chi's face darkened, and he shook his head and turned around.

At this time, a dull explosion faintly sounded from the northern sky, Zhou Juncheng's eyes widened, and he looked into the distance, wondering in his heart about the devils on the bank of the Yangtze River, I don't know where the road has advanced, whether he will choose to reinforce the Japanese army in the concession and bring trouble to himself.

At this time, the Japanese army was attacking the county seat of Baoshan.

Baoshan County is located in the north of Songhu, close to the Yangtze River, and is connected by highway with Luodian, Liuhang, Yanghang, Yuepu and Songhu, which is the key point of defense of the 15th Group Army. However, before the Japanese landing, the defenders of Baoshan County had only two companies of the 56th Division, and it was not easy to deal with the fierce attack of the Japanese army.

Also looking at the northern sky was Wu Ming, who was outside the gate of the Pengpu Division Headquarters in the south of Dachang Town, listening to the rumbling artillery sound in the distance, Wu Mingxin said that even Dachang, which was more than 20 kilometers away, could clearly hear the Japanese artillery bombardment, and the pressure on the soldiers on the front line could be imagined.

According to the information fed back by the intelligence department, now Baoshan's defense is empty, if Baoshan County is lost, then Luodian's flank will be seriously threatened, and once Luodian is lost, the entire northern front battle situation will quickly erode. Wu Ming was very worried that his troops would be transferred to the left flank and carry the naval guns of the Japanese Navy with his flesh and blood.

This morning, the New Second Division joined hands with the Central Air Force to create the greatest victory in the Sino-Japanese war against Japan, sinking the ironclad cruiser "Izumo" and two light cruisers in one fell swoop, but this move will undoubtedly anger the Japanese, once they send battleships to join the Shanghai battlefield, naval guns with a caliber of more than 35U millimeters will be fired down in a salvo, and with the terrible geological conditions in Luodian, Yuepu, Yanghang, and other places, it is estimated that there will not be even half of the scum left.

At this time, the guard battalion commander Lu Kuiyuan quietly came to Wu Ming's side, did not speak, but accompanied Wu Ming to look at the sky in the north, and the light of the setting sun stretched the figures of the two very long.

Wu Ming turned his head, glanced at Lu Kuiyuan, and asked, "Why are you here?" Now that the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters building has been occupied, there are still fortifications No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 that have not been cleared, you are very idle, come and bask in the sun with me now."

"Big brother, your message is outdated"

Lu Kuiyuan grinned, and his smile was extraordinarily bright. He wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his head with his sleeve, and said with a big grin: "Now that we have taken the No. 2 and No. 3 fortifications, the brothers are attacking the No. 4 and No. 5 strongholds on the Wusong Road. I'm here to report something to my eldest brother."

"Tell me, what's important that deserves you to leave the battlefield and come back to report?" Wu Mingcai didn't believe Lu Kuiyuan's nonsense, and asked with a straight face. If it is to report the results of the battle, Lu Kuiyuan can send a telegram back.

Lu Kuiyuan smiled, turned sideways, leaned into Wu Ming's ear and whispered: "Big brother, when our Second Spy Company was cleaning the basement of the Japanese Navy Headquarters Building, we found a batch of important things. ”

"What's that?" Wu Ming asked a little disapprovingly.

Lu Kuiyuan didn't answer, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Wu Ming, and whispered, "Big brother, look at it yourself."

Wu Ming snorted, dissatisfied with Lu Kuiyuan's pretense of mystery, but when he saw the contents of the list, he almost jumped up and looked at Lu Kuiyuan in disbelief: "These are all true?" ”
