readx;? After clearing all the Japanese reconnaissance company fighters and searching in the headquarters of the 36th Wing, Fujii Miyoshi Daisa and several Nakasa staff officers in the wing were all lying on the ground, and the soldiers stepped forward to take off their katana and collar badges and handed them to Wei Changxing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wei Changxing is more concerned about the wing flag of the 36th Wing. After a while, Wei Changxing heard a soldier shouting: "Found it!"

Wei Changxing hurriedly walked to the soldier's side, and the soldier was taking out a flag wrapped in a beautiful wooden box from a suitcase, and after unfolding the flag, the words "The 36th Wing of the Imperial Infantry" were printed in Wei Changxing's eyes. Wei Changxing was a little excited to put the flag as it was, and personally carried the suitcase and said, "After cleaning up the battlefield, withdraw to Luodian Town." ”

Tanks and armored vehicles chased the rout of the 9th Division four kilometers and stopped only after driving the Japanese across the Panjing River. On the banks of the Panjing River, the 544th Regiment left a company and built an improvised fortification, Wu Jianzhou also left five light armored vehicles for patrol duties, and the other tanks and armored vehicles withdrew to Luodian Town. The other fighters of the 544th Regiment began to clean up this four-kilometer-long battlefield.

Because there were too many captured weapons and ammunition, in the end, the baggage battalion of Luodian Town sent more than a dozen trucks to pull all the captured weapons, ammunition and various materials back to Luodian Town. After dawn, the 544th Regiment cleaned up the battlefield again and calculated the results of the battle, and it was not until the afternoon that the inventory was completed.

The counterattack killed more than 4,650 Japanese soldiers and captured more than 380 wounded soldiers. Among the Japanese soldiers killed, there were two Osa, 14 Nakasa, and 36 Shaosa. The two Osa killed, Wing Commander Fujii Miyoshi Osa of the 35th Wing of the 9th Division, and Wing Commander of the 9th Engineer Wing of the 9th Division, Noaka Toshisada Osa, both died in the raid of the reconnaissance company.

Among the weapons and ammunition seized, there were more than 3,000 intact Type 38 rifles, 130 crooked light machine guns, 47 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 22 90 mortars, 8 70 mountain guns, countless bullets, shells, grenades, and a large amount of various military supplies, and even more than 200 military horses. After this order was delivered to Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao asked the logistics department to go to Dachang Town to build a military material warehouse to store the loot.

When Wei Changxing, with a few soldiers, personally sent Wang Haitao the wing flag of the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army and two Dazuo command knives, Wang Haitao looked at the complete wing flag and a smile appeared on his face. Wei Changxing also smiled with relief.

Wang Haitao ordered the car to be prepared, and then took Wei Changxing to the headquarters of the Ninth Army in person. When Wang Haitao saw General Zhang Zhizhong in General Zhang Zhizhong's office, General Zhang Zhizhong asked with a smile on his face: "How is it, the results of the battle are not small, right? Last night, the sound of your artillery made several division commanders come to me and ask me where I got so much heavy artillery." ”

After saluting, Wang Haitao said: "Report to Commander Zhang, last night the heavy artillery regiment of our division destroyed the heavy artillery position of the 10th Wing of the Japanese Independent Heavy Artillery in one fell swoop, destroyed 24 Japanese 150 heavy cannon howitzers, destroyed the heavy artillery positions of the 12th Wing of the Japanese Field Heavy Artillery, destroyed 24 150 heavy howitzers of the Japanese army, destroyed the artillery positions of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Siege Heavy Artillery, and destroyed 12 Japanese 240 mm heavy howitzers.

After destroying several heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, I had the armored battalion counterattack the 9th Division under the cover of the 544th Regiment. By this morning, the Ninth Division had been driven to the east of the Panjing River. In the counteroffensive, our unit killed two Japanese officers, 14 Zhongzuo, 36 Shaozuo, and more than 4,650 other officers and soldiers. Three hundred and eighty wounded soldiers were captured. Guns and ammunition, countless military supplies of all kinds were seized, and in the raid, Wei Changxing, commander of the division's reconnaissance company, captured a flag of the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army, and asked the commander to take a look. ”

The more Wang Haitao said, the more excited General Zhang Zhizhong became, and the more smiles appeared on his face. When Wang Haitao finished speaking, General Zhang Zhizhong applauded loudly: "Okay! I really didn't misunderstand you Wang Haitao or your new 90th Division." I would immediately send a report to the Nanjing General Headquarters and Chairman Chiang to ask for credit for you. After speaking, General Zhang Zhizhong picked up Wang Haitao's report, turned around and went to the telegraph room.

Completely different from the headquarters of the Ninth Army was the headquarters of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army, General Matsui Ishine, who was furious. Since midnight, bad news has been sent to General Matsui Ishine, first the heavy artillery positions of two heavy artillery wings and a siege heavy artillery brigade were destroyed by the heavy artillery of China, and hundreds of heavy artillery pieces became scrap metal.

In the early morning, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke of the 9th Division sent a telegram that the Shina army had dispatched more than 100 chariots to launch a counterattack against him at night, and the 9th Division was unable to resist the attack of such a large number of chariots, and after stubborn resistance, withdrew to the east bank of the Panjing River. In the resistance, the 9th Division lost three wings of officers and men, and now the entire division has less than 10,000 men, mostly baggage soldiers and cavalry. The most important thing is that the command of the 35th Infantry Wing has lost contact, and I am afraid that the flag of the Wing Wing personally awarded by the Emperor will fall into the hands of the Shina people.

This news is undoubtedly worse for General Matsui Ishone, just like the loss of the wing flag, so how can Matsui Ishone not be furious. Matsui Ishine personally called Yoshizumi Ryosuke to reprimand him, and asked Yoshizumi Ryosuke to snatch back the wing flag at all costs. After that, Matsui Ishone vented his anger in the headquarters.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng came to Chiang Kai-shek's official residence again and asked to see Chiang Kai-shek. When He Yingqin saw Chiang Kai-shek in the meeting room, he said with a smile on his face: "Chairman of the National People's Congress, Shanghai Luodian has won a great victory!" Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed when he heard this: "There is good news from Wenbai again? Which army has achieved another great victory?"

He Yingqin said with a smile: "It's still the new 90th Division, which not only used heavy artillery to destroy three heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army and destroyed hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese army last night, but also used the armored battalion to cooperate with the infantry to counterattack the Japanese Ninth Division at night. The fierce battle lasted until dawn, and not only pushed the 9th Division back 4 kilometers, but also killed 2 Japanese soldiers, 14 Zhongzuo, and more than 4,650 officers and men. More than 300 Japanese soldiers were captured. What is even more rare is that the Japanese emperor of the 35th Infantry Wing of the Japanese army also captured a flag of the Japanese army. ”

After listening to He Yingqin, Chiang Kai-shek also took the telegram from He Yingqin's hand with a smile on his face and looked at it at a glance. After reading this, Chiang Kai-shek said excitedly: "Okay! This new 90th Division is really a tiger division, a model of excellence! It is necessary to inform the whole army of the whole country to give commendations, and the division commander Wang Haitao awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun; the commander of the counterattack regiment and the commander of the armored battalion were awarded the Order of Baoding; and the company commander who won the wing flag was promoted to the rank of one rank and awarded the Order of Yunlu. The new 90th Division will be rewarded with $1 million. The Ninth Army was ordered to send people to escort the Japanese prisoners of war and escort the Japanese wing flag and some of the trophies to Nanjing, and we should vigorously publicize this great victory. ”

After finishing speaking, Chiang Kai-shek read the telegram again, and suddenly asked: "I mentioned in the previous call that the Independent Brigade at that time had a flag, as if it was some kind of Tiger Brigade. He Yingqin hurriedly agreed.

After the telegram from the Nanjing General Headquarters arrived at General Zhang Zhizhong, General Zhang Zhizhong immediately got into a jeep sent by Wang Haitao and rushed to Wang Haitao's headquarters in Yang Xing. As soon as he entered the door, General Zhang Yezhong said to Wang Haitao with a smile: "Brother Haitao, the commendation message from the General Headquarters has arrived. Wang Haitao was stunned for a moment, and first asked General Zhang Zhizhong to sit down.

After General Zhang Zhizhong sat down, he took out a reply call from Nanjing and continued: "The elder brother was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, the regiment commander who led the counteroffensive and the commander of the armored battalion were awarded the Baoding Medal, the company commander who won the Japanese wing flag was also awarded the Yunlu Medal and promoted to the rank of one class, and the new 90th Division gave the "Tiger Division" honorary military flag and rewarded one million yuan with a legal banner. Wang Haitao took the telegram and read it and said, "Thank you Commander Zhang for your kind words in front of Shangfeng." ”

Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile: "I'm just telling the truth, the combat exploits of your new 90th Division are there, and I will neither exaggerate nor conceal them, and I can't talk about good words." However, Nanjing's telegram ordered the escort of Japanese prisoners of war and the escort of the Japanese wing flag and some of the trophies to Nanjing. As soon as Wang Haitao heard it, he knew that General Zhang Zhizhong was still handing over the limelight to himself.

After thinking for a while, Wang Haitao said: "Commander Zhang, rest assured, he will definitely do a good job in this matter." General Zhang Zhizhong asked about the battle situation again, and Wang Haitao said: "Commander Zhang, this time the shelling of the Japanese army and the counteroffensive at night, my new 90th Division has already taken out all its capabilities, and other ** troops can't do this." Please Commander Zhang must not despise the Japanese army, lest other ** troops will suffer losses due to underestimating the enemy. ”

General Zhang Zhizhong listened to Wang Haitao's words, and also became serious, and said: "Yes, the Japanese army is not easy to deal with, I know this from the time I launched an attack on the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, and I will tell other ** troops." Your new 90th Division has been holding on to this line of defense for ten days, and the casualties must be not small, I will find a way to add some more men and horses to you, if there is any difficulty, you just mention it, I will definitely help you if I can help. ”

Wang Haitao stood up and said: "Thank you, Commander Zhang, Haitao and the new 90th Division will live up to Commander Zhang's trust and guard this line of defense." Zhang Zhizhong nodded with satisfaction, got up and reached out to pat Wang Haitao's shoulder and said, "Brother Haitao, take care." After finishing speaking, he left Wang Haitao's headquarters.

After sending General Zhang Zhizhong away, Wang Haitao asked people to notify Wei Yibiao, commander of the heavy artillery battalion, and Wei Changxing, commander of the reconnaissance company in Luodian Town, to come to his headquarters. An hour later, the two arrived at Wang Haitao's headquarters. Wang Haitao told the two of them about Shangfeng's order to escort the Japanese prisoners of war and escort the Japanese wing flag and part of the booty, and decided that the heavy artillery battalion of the heavy artillery regiment would dispatch 20 trucks and a company of soldiers and Wei Changxing to lead two platoons of soldiers from the reconnaissance company to complete this task together.
