readx;? Wang Haitao has no opinion on the two points raised by General Luo Zhuoying, and the new 19th Group Army belonging to the Central Army is nothing, General Chen Cheng is a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, and the army of the civil engineering department is the descendant of the lineage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info As for the Military and Political Office, it will naturally be set up, with Lao Jiang's suspicious character, it is impossible for a returnee like himself to treat Lao Jiang as a cronie.

Seeing that Wang Haitao agreed to the two conditions, Gu Zhutong and Luo Zhuoying were relieved, and when they met in Wuxi, they talked about what to do if Wang Haitao refused to cooperate, and also thought of several countermeasures, and now it seems that these countermeasures are useless. A relaxed smile appeared on the two of them, and Luo Zhuoying said again: "Commander Wang, we will be a family in the future, if there is anything in the future, just say it, as long as we can help, General Gu and I will definitely do our best." ”

Wang Haitao said: "Haitao has thanked the two commanders in advance, but I don't know how the number of troops to be replenished to the 90th Division this time is?" Luo Zhuoying replied: "When I left Nanjing, the General Headquarters was already working on this matter, and the other divisions of the Central Army in the Shanghai Campaign also suffered heavy losses, for example, the 88th Division only had a few dozen officers left, and they were all in urgent need of replenishing the troops. However, Commander Wang was relieved that since the 90th Army was already a member of the 19th Group Army, the replenishment of troops was still guaranteed. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "Then I will rest assured, thank you for your trouble." Then the three of them chatted for a while about the current battle before General Gu Zhutong and General Luo Zhuoying left the headquarters of the new 90th Division. The next day, on a makeshift platform erected in the playground of the headquarters, General Gu Zhutong and General Luo Zhuoying awarded medals to the 16 officers of the New 90th Division who had received medals before leaving Suzhou.

After General Gu Zhutong and the people sent by Nanjing left, Wang Haitao began to prepare for the transfer, everything else is easy to do, but the seriously wounded are still a little troublesome, these wounded are fortunate to have the penicillin prepared by Wang Haitao available, so as long as they survive on the battlefield, there is basically no death due to infected wounds, which also makes the doctors in these hospitals in Suzhou exclaim miracles.

The lightly wounded and most of the seriously wounded who were in stable condition were able to be transferred with the troops, but there were still more than 40 seriously wounded who still could not get out of the danger period, and Wang Haitao could not leave them here alone, so Wang Haitao decided that when it was time to transfer, if these seriously wounded were still unable to move, then a reconnaissance squad and two trucks would be left in Suzhou, first, to take care of these seriously wounded, and second, when the war was rekindled, and Suzhou City could not be saved, he could take them to the station.

Five days later, all the officers and men of the new 90th Division left Suzhou City and moved to Liyang County, with the reconnaissance company led by Wei Changxing still exploring the road in front and the guard battalion operating with the division headquarters. Because Wang Haitao knew that the heavy artillery purchased from Germany was about to arrive, when the troops passed through Wuxi, he gave all 48 heavy guns and all the shells of a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army that he had cheated to General Gu Zhutong to strengthen the defensive capability of the defense fortifications on the Xicheng Line.

Wang Haitao's move made General Gu Zhutong, who was worried about the lack of heavy firepower on the Xicheng defensive line, overjoyed. With these heavy artillery, General Gu Zhutong will be able to form a heavy artillery division immediately, which will greatly make up for the lack of heavy firepower on the Xicheng defensive line. To tell the truth, General Gu Zhutong has also been fighting in the south and north for decades, and he has never encountered a general like Wang Haitao who sacrificed himself to take care of the overall situation. You must know that none of these heavy artillery pieces were allocated to him, but he obtained them by his own ability.

General Gu Zhutong praised Wang Haitao a lot, and then Wang Haitao handed over the batch of heavy artillery before continuing to hurry. After walking for two days, Wei Changxing's reconnaissance company came to Liyang City, where there were already soldiers standing guard at the city gate, Wei Changxing walked to the city gate and asked a sergeant squad leader standing guard at the city gate: "Which part are you from?"

The squad leader saw that it was a major questioning, and after hurriedly standing up and saluting, he replied: "Report to the commander, we are from the 91st Division of the 90th Army, and we have been ordered to garrison Liyang County, which part of the commander is it?" Wei Changxing was stunned for a moment and asked: "The 91st Division? Is there already a 91st Division? We are the original new 90th Division, and now the 90th Division of the 90th Army, I am Wei Changxing, deputy commander of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, and the military seat and the large army are not far behind. ”

When the squad leader heard this, a smile appeared on his face and said, "It turns out that the military seat has arrived, and I will report to the division seat immediately, sir, please wait a moment." After saying that, he trotted to the duty booth to make a call. When the squad leader came running over again, Wei Changxing asked, "Which unit are you from?" The squad leader said: "Report to the commander, we were originally from the 26th Division, and we were ordered to be reorganized into the 91st Division and be organized by the 90th Army. ”

Wei Changxing of the 26th Division knew that when he was fighting a blocking battle in Shanghai, he cooperated with the New 90th Division, but he didn't expect it to become the 91st Division now. Wei Changxing immediately sent someone to report the news to the army commander Wang Haitao. When it was almost noon, a large amount of dust was raised in the distance, and the roar of the engine was faintly heard, Wei Changxing said to Guo Rudong and the others who were waiting at the gate of the city: "Commander Guo, the military seat is about to arrive." ”

After a while, several heavy trucks in front, two jeeps in the back, towards the city gate, after the car stopped, the soldiers on the truck jumped out of the car one after another, and took up the task of vigilance, at this time Wang Haitao, Su Zuxuan and others in the jeep got out of the car and walked towards the city gate. Guo Rudong hurriedly greeted him, stood still in front of Wang Haitao, stood up and saluted, and said: "Report to the military seat, Guo Rudong, the former commander of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army and now the 91st Division of the 90th Army, came to welcome the military seat into the city. ”

Wang Haitao returned the military salute and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Guo, it was really fateful, but now that it is a family, don't be so angry." Guo Rudong replied: "I dare not be called the big brother of the military seat." Wang Haitao said with a smile: "When you were in the war, you were my commander Guo, I still call you Brother Guo in normal times, my 90th Army can have Brother Guo join, it is really my Wang Haitao's luck." ”

After a few more cold words, Wang Haitao and the military headquarters of the 90th Army and the army logistics department followed Guo Rudong into the city under the protection of the guard battalion, and the rest of the troops entered the military camp built outside the city under the guidance of Guo Rudong. The location of the military headquarters of the new 90th Army is the original factory, because of the Shanghai Campaign, this factory has been relocated to Wuhan, the factory is still not small, the factory and a four-story office building are very intact, so it is used as the military headquarters of the 90th Army, and the division headquarters of the 91st Division is not far from the military headquarters in a small courtyard of a former government agency.

At the gate, Tangshan Leopard arranged for the guard battalion and the soldiers of the 91st Division guarding the gate to change posts, and then arranged for the guard in the new headquarters. Other departments were also looking for a suitable room to arrange chores, but Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin sat down in the small conference room on the third floor accompanied by Guo Rudong and others.

When Wang Haitao asked how Guo Rudong was reorganized into the 91st Division and what the situation of the whole division is now, Guo Rudong replied: "Military seat, after our original 26th Division finished the Yanghang blockade battle, we were ordered to retreat to Liu Xing's position, and our division held it for six days and six nights with the weapons and ammunition given by the military seat in Liu Xing. When it was withdrawn again, there were less than 2,000 men left in the division. This retreat was carried all the way to the outside of Zhenjiang City, where they rested.

Later, after the supplementary regiment from Sichuan arrived in Nanjing, it replenished our division with 5,000 men, which was quite a lot, but the weapons and equipment were not as good as those when we arrived in Shanghai. After training for a period of time, with some combat effectiveness, we are ready to send our division to reinforce Shanghai. When we arrived in Wuxi, they informed us that ** was ready to retreat from Shanghai and asked us to stay put.

Ten days ago, a lieutenant general came to the General Headquarters and read out the order of the General Headquarters, abolishing the number of the 26th Division, and reorganizing the whole division into the 91st Division, which was under the jurisdiction of the 90th Army and subordinate to the 19th Group Army. Our Sichuan Army Division suddenly became the Central Army, and then let us rush to Liyang City to garrison, and wait for the other two divisions of the 90th Army to converge, and when I asked the original army commander, it turned out that you were the commander.

After our division arrived in Liyang County, there was a supplementary regiment of the Sichuan Army waiting for us, and the Central Army was different; as soon as our division arrived in Liyang, the whole division immediately changed its outfit, and the soldiers were issued with brand-new medium and formal rifles, and dozens of Czech light machine guns and Makmi heavy machine guns were issued at once. Even twenty mortars were fired.

The soldiers' uniforms were also changed, and each of them was paid two pieces of fiat currency. The division even gave 10,000 fiat currency. This is the same as the treatment of the Sichuan army at the beginning, but it is heaven and earth. Besides, with a benevolent and righteous chief like you, the life of these Sichuan babies under my command will be much better. Guo Ruxuan spoke for a long time, and Wang Haitao listened with a smile. After Guo Ruxuan finished speaking, Wang Haitao thought: "Chen Cheng's Nineteenth Group Army, that is the descendant of the old Jiang lineage, if you are still made to be the same as the Sichuan Army, then how can Chen Cheng be mixed?"

At this time, Guo Rudong remembered something again and said: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it to the division, this is Liu Yuqing, the deputy division commander and chief of staff of the former 26th Division, and now appointed as the deputy division commander and chief of staff of the 90th Division. The middle-aged man who was sitting next to Guo Rudong stood up, stood up and said, "Hello, sir!"

Wang Haitao nodded and said, "Chief of Staff Liu, please take a seat, we will all be a family in the future, don't be too polite." After finishing speaking, Wang Haitao said to Guo Rudong again: "Division Commander Guo, I am still not familiar with the situation of the 91st Division, so I will not interfere in the appointment of officers, you can just hand over the roster to the confidential office of the military department for the record."

However, I don't know when the war will be rekindled, and the current task of your 91st Division is not only training but also training, and the soldiers must shoot live ammunition every day, don't feel heartache about bullets and shells, and just come to me if they are missing. However, the combat effectiveness of the troops must be improved as soon as possible, and I will send people down to investigate and guide your training. Guo Rudong and Liu Yuqing replied at the same time: "Yes! ”
