On the rostrum, He Yingqin stood in front on behalf of the General Headquarters. www.biquge.info Wei Changxing and the two platoon commanders represented the officers and soldiers of the new 90th Division, Wei Changxing walked in front with the flag of the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army in a wooden box, and the two platoon commanders behind him held two katana swords side by side. At this time, the flash lights under the stage lit up. Wei Changxing came to He Yingqin, stood up and saluted, and then held the wooden box with both hands.

He Yingqin returned the military salute, took the wooden box, and then took out the wing flag from the wooden box, and unfolded it with Wei Changxing. The flash flashed even more violently, and countless cameras and camcorders recorded this precious historical footage. When He Yingqin took over the two more katanas, the entire sacrifice was completed. Next is the award ceremony.

General Chen Cheng stood in front of the megaphone and said loudly: "In view of the fact that the new 90th Division bravely killed the enemy and won the great victory in Luodian, the commander of the New 90th Division, General Wang Haitao, was specially awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, the commander of the 544th Regiment of the New 90th Division, the Colonel Wei Haihai, the commander of the 544th Regiment of the New 90th Division, and the rank of Major General Li Changwu, the commander of the 545th Regiment who died bravely, and the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery. He was awarded the Lieutenant Colonel Wu Jianzhou, commander of the armored battalion of the new 90th Division, with the Order of Baoding of the fifth degree. He was awarded the Order of Captain Wei Changxing, 4th class, and promoted to the rank of major. Chairman Chiang personally awarded the medal to Captain Wei Shangxing, commander of the reconnaissance company of the New 90th Division.

As soon as General Chen Cheng finished speaking, the prepared military band played military music. In the sound of military music, Chiang Kai-shek came to the front desk, and Wei Changxing faced Chiang Kai-shek, although he had prepared in advance, he was still a little at a loss. At this time, Wei Changxing stood up and gave a standard military salute to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and returned a military salute, and then picked up the fourth-class Yunlu medal from the tray held by the attendant beside him, and hung it on Wei Changxing's left chest with his own hand.

Looking at the hanging medal, Chiang Kai-shek nodded with satisfaction, and Wei Changxing hurriedly gave another military salute before stepping back from the rostrum. Next, Wei Yibiao, on behalf of the New 90th Division, received the honorary flag of "Tiger Division" awarded to the New 90th Division from General Chen Cheng. At this point, a huge ceremony for the dedication of prisoners was successfully completed. After all the ceremonies, Wei Changxing suddenly became a news figure, and almost all reporters surrounded him.

The next day, the major newspapers in Nanjing published a large number of articles on the ceremony of awarding the prisoners, and the most common photos were the unfurling of the flag of the Japanese army and the two photos of Chiang Kai-shek personally awarding the medal. At this time, the new 90th Division and Wei Changxing both became stars, and the citizens of Nanjing also had the new 90th Division known as the "Tiger Division" in their minds, which also laid the foundation for the new 90th Division to make outstanding achievements in the defense of Nanjing in the future.

The officers and men of the New 90th Division, who had successfully completed their tasks, were so concerned about the Shanghai battlefield that they refused Director Song's invitation to take them on a tour of Nanjing, and left Nanjing in a truck to return to the Shanghai front. When leaving, the car was loaded with a large number of condolences donated by Nanjing citizens and a reward of one million fiat currency. When the convoy left Nanjing City and arrived in Wuxi City, Wei Changxing asked Wei Yibiao to lead the team to escort the supplies back to Shanghai first, and he and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion left five empty trucks for other tasks.

It turned out that before leaving, Wang Haitao told Wei Changxing that when he came back, he would reconnoiter the situation of the two defense fortifications of Xicheng and Wufu that the country had built for many years. For Wang Haitao's order, Wei Changxing will not complete it with a little discount. The Xicheng defense line is a defense line from Yixing through Wuxi to Jiangyin. The main positions are in Guishan and Meicun in Wuxi.

After Wei Changxing led two platoons of soldiers along the entire Xicheng fortification, he couldn't help but be disappointed in this fortification. In Wei Changxing's view, although a lot of effort has been invested in this national defense fortification, there are serious flaws in design, quality and management. The first is that there are no trenches dug between the bunkers on the position, so that each bunker becomes a single independent bunker, which can easily be broken through individually.

Secondly, there is a problem in the firepower between the fortifications, and the light and heavy firepower of a position cannot be fired into crossfire, and there are too many dead ends. The third is that after many sections were repaired, no one cared about them, not only did the fortifications become the homes of wild beasts, but the iron locks on the fortification gates were rusty and could not be opened at all. Such a work could not withstand the wanton bombardment of Japanese artillery fire at all.

After reading the Xicheng defense line, Wei Changxing looked at the Wufu defense line again, the same Wufu defense line also has a lot of problems, Wei Changxing recorded the defects on the two defense lines one by one, and then returned to the front line in Shanghai, and handed over this record book to Wang Haitao. Looking at the records in the notebook, Wang Haitao couldn't help frowning.

Shortly after the ceremony of surrendering prisoners in Nanjing, news had reached the base camp in Tokyo, Japan, and when Emperor Showa of Japan learned of it, he reprimanded the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs, including the Minister of Land, at the court meeting, and revoked the name of the 35th Infantry Wing. In the end, Lieutenant General Yoshisumi Ryosuke, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, commander of the 6th Brigade, returned to China for questioning, and the 9th Division was temporarily replaced by Major General Nobuyo Ishi.

Reprimands are reprimands, and the battle in Shanghai will continue. Therefore, the base camp urgently transferred Taiwan's Shigeto Detachment to join the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and sent the Third Flying Regiment to join the Shanghai battlefield. The 16th Division of the North China Front also joined the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and the number of Japanese troops in the Shanghai Dispatch Army has reached 190,000. After the arrival of the Shigeto detachment in Taiwan, Matsui Ishine asked the Shigeto detachment and the disabled Ninth Division to launch another attack on Luodian Town.

At the same time, at the request of Admiral Matsui Ishone, the Japanese warships approached the line of Wushankou and resumed bombardment of the Chinese defenders' positions at the Wusongkou Fort. A large number of Japanese planes also joined the attack, and a new round of Japanese offensive was launched. At this time, Wang Haitao's new 90th Division had been holding this line for 12 days.

General Zhang Zhizhong did not lose his word to Wang Haitao, and successively sent two supplementary regiments totaling 2,100 men to Wang Haitao's new 90th Division. These two supplementary regiments, one is the Sichuan Army and the other is the Hubei Army, both of which are Huazi Army that no one is willing to take in in the reorganization. When Wang Haitao saw these more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, not only were most of them bare-handed, but they were all well-dressed and dressed in tattered uniforms.

Wang Haitao found Zhao Fei, the commander of the 545th Regiment, who had just died, and handed over all the 2,100 people to Zhao Fei, and asked Zhao Fei to reorganize the 545th Regiment. Zhao Fei looked at the more than 2,000 people in front of him, he was happy and worried, happy that his 545th Regiment could be full again, and worried that there were not a few old and young among these supplementary soldiers, how to organize them and how to train them. However, the first thing to solve is the problem of feeding these more than 2,000 people.

So Zhao Fei immediately notified the logistics department of the 545th Regiment and the baggage battalion to prepare a meal for 2,100 people first, so that these people could have a full meal. When Zhao Fei watched these people gobbling up the most ordinary meals, he couldn't help but find the leaders of the two supplementary groups. After questioning Zhao Fei, he learned that these people were basically strong men who were forcibly pulled in the anti-Chiang war last year and the first half of the year, but not long after they came, the anti-Chiang war ended, and their troops were also reorganized, these people are basically still ordinary people, so no one cares, they want to disband and are penniless, they can't return to their hometowns, and they can only live with hunger and a full meal in the Jiujiang military camp.

It wasn't until a week ago that a commander came and said that there was a war going on in Shanghai, and they went to Shanghai as a supplementary regiment, and then they were sent dozens of old rifles and had a full meal, and then they were pulled from Jiujiang to Shanghai by train. As soon as they got off the train in Shanghai, two more officers counted the number of people and sent them directly here.

When Zhao Fei asked about their training, the two leaders said: "Don't hide it from the commander, these people have not undergone any training at all, only the more than 20 temporary officers inside have fought a few times and can use guns, and the others have not even touched a gun." When Zhao Fei heard this, this is trouble, the Japanese army in front is constantly attacking, how can there be time to slowly train these people.

In desperation, Zhao Fei put the child soldiers and the older soldiers among these people into the baggage camp, and all the veterans of the baggage battalion were taken out to serve as squad, platoon, and company-level officers among these people, and after all of them changed their military uniforms, they sent out Japanese-style weapons and reorganized them while training. These men were organized into three battalions, the original heavy firepower battalion, except for the artillery that did not move, the rest of the soldiers were all divided into three battalions to serve as heavy fireman.

Zhao Fei knew that after going to the battlefield, these recruits who had not undergone a few days of training, in the face of the frantic attack of the Japanese army, would not be able to completely rout in a short time without the support of heavy firepower. Even so, Zhao Fei still seized every minute to train this group of recruits, from the queue to physical fitness to the use of weapons. A week later, these recruits did not have much combat effectiveness, but at least they had a bit of a military appearance.

During this week, Wang Haitao also took the time to see these recruits twice, and personally made arrangements for their food and daily life. After a week of adjustment, the faces of these recruits have faded, and their spirits, energy, and spirit are exactly the same as when they first arrived. Chiang Kai-shek's reward of one million fiat currency, Wang Haitao handed over all the money to the logistics department, which was used to improve the food of the soldiers and the expenses of the troops in Shanghai. And he took out a million oceans and asked the convoy to transport supplies back to Longzhou County and handed it over to Tang Shouli, which was specially used to compensate the families of the martyrs who sacrificed.

During the week of the 545th Regiment's training, the Japanese army, which had been replenished, re-engaged in the offensive on several fronts. The Japanese Third Fleet used two battleships, four heavy cruisers, four light cruisers and a large number of destroyers to approach the Wusongkou battery and launched a fierce bombardment of the Wusongkou battery position.
