readx;? Wang Haitao, who entered the warehouse, took a general look at the situation in the warehouse, there were not too many things in it, and a large number of materials had been transferred to the vicinity of Nanjing, and there were only some things that were usually used here.

Choosing a more spacious place, Wang Haitao took out a million pieces of ocean from the storage ring, these oceans are packed in a box of 20,000 pieces, so a large piece is piled up on the ground, a box of oceans is not large, but the weight has reached more than 800 catties, and the weight of these 500 boxes is nearly 50 tons.

As soon as he took out these oceans, the voice of Tangshan leopard came from the door: "Report!" Wang Haitao replied: "Come in." Following Wang Haitao's voice, Tangshan Leopard entered the warehouse with a platoon of soldiers. Wang Haitao said: "Mountain Leopard, here is a million pieces of ocean, a total of 500 boxes, you load it into a truck, and then escort it to the logistics department to hand it over to Deputy Director Tang Yicheng." ”

Tangshan Leopard responded: "Yes, Shiza." Then he ordered a few fighters to drive, and the rest were ready to load the car. The matter was handed over to Tangshan Leopard, Wang Haitao was naturally relieved, so he left the warehouse after a few sentences. Wang Haitao left the warehouse and went straight to the confidential room, where Wang Haitao instructed the confidential officer to get in touch with Tang Yikuan as soon as possible, and returned to the office after the order.

The next two days were Wang Haitao's more relaxed two days, the Japanese army did not continue to attack the Wufu defense line, perhaps it was the attack in Shanghai for nearly half a year that also let the Japanese army know the tenacity of the Chinese defenders, and in the battle to capture Shanghai, the Japanese army also lost troops, two divisions were completely annihilated, three divisions lost more than half, and the total number of soldiers lost reached nearly 80,000 people, as if the two lieutenant general division commanders, several major general brigade commanders and triple-digit adjutant losses made the Japanese Tokyo base camp extremely shocked.

The Japanese leadership also debated whether or not to continue the offensive in the direction of Nanjing. This caused a brief lull on the Wufu Line, which consisted of only a few small local battles in Taicang, while the Japanese were busy consolidating their occupation and continuing to occupy the outskirts of Shanghai and the surrounding areas.

The Japanese army stopped the offensive is what Nanjing wants to see, and the Shanghai Campaign also lost 130,000 soldiers, and several officers at the general level also sacrificed several people, and there are countless regiments and battalions, if it were not for the several great victories of the new 90th Division, it can be said that it was completely defeated by the Japanese army, and there would not be a thing where the Japanese army stopped attacking now.

The Nanjing General Headquarters and Chiang Kai-shek were very clear about the exploits and combat strength of the New 90 th Division, and they also greatly appreciated the division commander Wang Haitao and Chiang Kai-shek, and there was no problem with Dai Li, the military commander, in examining Wang Haitao's background.

The officers and men of the New 90 th Division spent the past two days in excitement and joy, and each soldier received 16 yuan of military pay and condolence money, and even more officers, and their real names were distributed to every officer and soldier, which was the first time among nearly half of the soldiers. The real sixteen oceans, full of color, without restraint, are unimaginable in other troops.

Even the officers and men of the 147th and 148th Divisions of the Sichuan Army each received three oceans of condolences money, and the two division commanders specially came to the headquarters of the New 90th Division to express their gratitude to Wang Haitao. With money, it is natural to use it, and in the past few days, Shangfeng has been relatively relaxed about soldiers taking leave to leave the camp, so the shops in Suzhou City are full of soldiers wearing military uniforms.

At first, these shops were grateful and a little afraid of these soldiers who came down from the battlefield, but they did not expect that these soldiers not only did not bully others, but used the colorful ocean to trade fairly, and these soldiers became the most popular customers of the store. At the beginning of the 38th century, the purchasing power of a piece of Dayang was still quite good, and a silver dollar could buy 16 catties of good rice or 6 feet of cotton cloth.

These soldiers did not buy a lot of goods, and basically spent a lot of money in some taverns and restaurants, while officers or veterans spent a lot of money in brothels and other places. But the busiest was the post office in Suzhou, where a large number of officers and soldiers lined up to mail most of the money home. In addition, the logistics department's mailing of 100 yuan per person for the disability or pension of the sacrificed soldiers or disabled soldiers made the post office in Suzhou busy working overtime.

These are not Wang Haitao's concerns, and his attention is now focused on Tang Yikuan and Longzhou County near Nanjing. The confidential office has already made contact with Tang Yikuan, and Tang Yikuan has set up a new logistics base in Jurong County. Jurong County is located between Nanjing City and Zhenjiang City, about 30 kilometers away from Nanjing Zhongshan Gate, only 4 kilometers away from the National Defense Highway from Shanghai to Nanjing, and there are gravel roads to pass.

The most important thing is that Jurong County here belongs to the hilly area except for the county seat, surrounded by mountains, although the mountain is not high, but there are hundreds of meters, the vegetation is luxuriant, the mountain hides a base and thousands of people as long as you pay more attention, it is easy not to be found. In addition, although it is close to Nanjing, most of the people are mountain people, honest and simple, living a self-sufficient life, and there is not much contact between the countryside and the outside world.

For Tang Yikuan's choice, Wang Haitao will not object, for Tang Yikuan's performance in Shanghai in the past few months, Wang Haitao is very satisfied, but also trusts him, Wang Haitao just told Tang Yikuan to do a good job in the construction of the new base, as well as the security and confidentiality work, and asked Tang Yikuan to expand the base as much as possible.

After Longzhou County got in touch with Tang Renli, the most important news that Tang Renli told Wang Haitao was that a shipload of weapons and munitions, including heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns, ordered from Germany, would soon be loaded on a ship and shipped to the port of Guangzhou, and this time someone from the senior management of the German Krupp company would come to China in the hope of meeting with Wang Haitao. Tang Renli's suggestion was that if possible, Wang Haitao could go back once, not only to receive this batch of arms and weapons, but also to deal with the affairs of Longzhou.

Although Wang Haitao also wanted to go back, the Japanese army could attack at any time, and at this time, I am afraid that it is impossible to leave the army and return to Longzhou for the time being. Wang Haitao also telegraphed to Tang Renli, asking him to come forward to arrange for everything to be handled, and to take all his family members back to Longzhou County, after all, now that the new 90th Division has broken away from the Gui system, it is not suitable for his family to live in Nanning anymore.

A week after the New 90th Division was stationed in Suzhou, General Gu Zhutong personally drove to the station of the New 90th Division in Suzhou with his guards. After Wang Haitao received the notice, he and Su Zuxin and others personally welcomed General Gu Zhutong into the new 90th Division at the gate of Suzhou. General Gu Zhutong was accompanied by several military and political dignitaries sent by the Nanjing General Headquarters.

Among the people who came, the highest military rank was General Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 15th Group Army, except for Gu Zhutong, and he also came on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek. In the office of the new 90th Division, General Luo Zhuoying, on behalf of the Nanjing Government and the General Headquarters, read out to Wang Haitao a commendation order for the New 90th Division and its commander Wang Haitao, and announced the establishment of the 90th Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, and appointed Wang Haitao as the commander of the 90th Army with the rank of general. The 90th Army, under the jurisdiction of the 90th Division, the 91st Division, and the 92nd Division, became the main force of the 3rd Division and 6 Brigades, and was subordinate to the Central Army series, and was stationed in Liyang County at the end of January 1938.

At the same time, Wang Haitao was awarded the highest National Glory Medal, and at the same time, 16 officers at all levels in the new 90th Division were awarded medals at all levels, among which Su Zuxin was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and Zhao Zhongwu, Tang Renxin, and Tang Longzai were awarded the Order of Baoding of the second class. A ceremony will be held tomorrow at the new 90th Division's station.

Wang Haitao didn't care about the rank of general and the Order of National Glory, what Wang Haitao cared about was that the new 90th Division was expanded into the 90th Army, so that he could have three divisions and nearly 40,000 horses in his hands, which was enough to compete with the two divisions of the Japanese army, of course, the premise was that the training and weapons and equipment could keep up.

As for stationing in Liyang County, it is just right, and Jurong County is not far from Liyang County, and after arriving in Piaoyang County, depending on the situation, some troops will be stationed in Jurong, so that the logistics base will be more secure. However, this time, the general headquarters in Nanjing did not know what kind of troops they would replenish themselves, and hoped that it would not be too bad.

After dinner, Luo Zhuoying and Gu Zhutong had a conversation with Wang Haitao at the same time. During the Battle of Shanghai, Luo Zhuoying, as the commander of the 15th Group Army, commanded the battle of the Left Route Army together with General Chen Cheng.

In terms of the number of annihilated Japanese troops, the role played in the battle was unparalleled in the entire defenders, as if in the early days of the campaign, several divisions of the Japanese army were resisted by the strength of one division for a month, and fought such a battle as the victory of Luodian, which really made Luo Zhuoying also admired, when Luo Zhuoying led the 15th Group Army to fight with the Japanese army, he admired the strength of the new 90th Division even more, and after the new 90th Division completely annihilated the 6th Division and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army for the second time in Songjiang, the name of the new 90th Division "the first strongest division" was deserved.

For the commander of such a strong army, Wang Haitao, Luo Zhuoying also heard his praise in the mouths of many senior generals such as General Zhang Zhizhong, and even General Chen Cheng, who has always had a high vision, also praised him. This made Luo Zhuoying both curious and full of good feelings about the commander of the new 90th Division. Therefore, General Luo Zhuoying was happy to accept the order for this trip to Suzhou.

In the small reception room, after everyone sat down, after a few simple polite words, Luo Zhuoying got to the point. First, after Wang Haitao's 90th Army arrives in Nanjing, it will enter the Central Army sequence and fall under the jurisdiction of the 19th Group Army, that is, it will officially become an important part of Chen Cheng's civil engineering department. This also has the role of General Zhang Zhizhong's recommendation and promotion.

Second, after the 90 th Army is reorganized, the required military salaries, ordnance, and various military supplies will be directly supplied by the 19 th Group Army, but orders and tasks will also be directly issued by General Chen Cheng, commander of the 19 th Group Army, that is to say, Wang Haitao and the 90 th Army will directly obey the command of General Chen Cheng. In addition, when the 90th Army is reorganized, a military administration office will be added, and the Nanjing government will directly appoint the head of the military administration office.
