When Liu Hai rushed to the headquarters, he was just in time for a group of students who were distributing condolences to the marching troops. "There's smoke, there's smoke, head of the regiment, you see there's smoke, I want to get two boxes!" The guard platoon commander said. "Go ahead!" With a wave of his bangs, the guard platoon commander stopped the car and ran over to ask for two packs of cigarettes. "You are the heroes of the Chinese nation, you are the backbone of the nation, although we only have some cheap condolences, but this is a tribute to our students, I hope you can kill more Japanese devils, defend Shanghai, and defend the country!" A beautiful schoolgirl was shouting from a platform, and below was a group of students stuffing condolences into the hands of the marching troops. "Huh?" Liu Hai took a look and found out that this female student was Zhou Yahe, the sister of Brigade Commander Zhou Zhang!

Bangs got out of the car, walked up quickly, and ran under the platform, and took a closer look at Zhou Yahe! "Captain Liu?" Zhou Yahe also saw bangs at this time, and hurriedly jumped off the platform. "Yahe, didn't you go to Nanjing? How did it end up here? Bangs asked hurriedly. I went to Nanjing, but my father was killed by Japanese spies, I had nowhere to go, so I came back to join the condolence group, I did not have the ability to avenge my father, I could only do my best to comfort the anti-Japanese soldiers, kill a few more devils, it can be regarded as revenge for my father! Zhou Yahe's words made Liu Hai stunned! After thinking for a long time, Liu Hai said to Zhou Yahe, "No matter what, you go back to Nanjing first, and then come back after the battle, it's too dangerous here, if you have three long and two short, wouldn't I be sorry for Brigade Commander Zhou!" "No, we still have a lot of condolences to be finished, this is the only thing I can do, I must do it!" Zhou Yahe said stubbornly. Liu Hai saw that this girl might not be able to persuade her to leave, and she was about to rush to the headquarters, so she asked, "Where do you live now!" "At No. 31 Nanhuai Road, my classmate's house lives!" Zhou Yahe said. "Okay, I'm going to go to the meeting in a hurry now, I'll go to you when I'm done!" After the bangs finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left!

After arriving at the headquarters, Liu Hai found that the level of the participants this time was very high, all of them were at the level of division commanders, and Commander Cai of the 19th Route Army had also arrived, and he was the only one at the regimental level! When I got to the conference room, Bangs sat at the very end, and then waited for the meeting to start! A few minutes later, Commander Cai and General Zhang Zhizhong of the 19th Route Army sat at the chief, and all the officers stood up and saluted! "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a very important matter to discuss this time, and I will make a long story short when time is pressing. In the past few days of fighting, we have blocked the frantic attack of the Japanese army on all sections of the road, shot down and damaged the enemy's warships and planes, and the Japanese army has suffered no less than 5,000 casualties, and now the Japanese army has shown fatigue. After discussing with Commander Cai, we decided to launch a counterattack in the vicinity of Miaohang, with the aim of eliminating the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in front of Miaohang! "Okay, it's long overdue!" "It's just that in the past two days, I've been fighting with Wang Ba like nesting there and waiting for people, and they've all suffocated to death!"

"Now the Japanese army has concentrated a brigade and six independent brigades in the direction of Miaohang, and they want to open a breakthrough in Miaohang in one go, outflank the left flank of the 19th Route Army in a roundabout way, and then destroy it. However, in the fighting in the past few days, our troops have fought very tenaciously, especially the commander of the artillery regiment, Liu, who led his troops to break the Japanese heavy artillery wing with one blow and killed its wing leader, so that the Japanese army had no heavy artillery available on the front line of Miaoxing, and our soldiers no longer suffered from heavy artillery! Commander Cai said. Captain Liu! Zhang Zhizhong stood up and walked to Bangs, took out a brocade box, and after opening it, there was a second-class medal of Yunmi, Zhang Zhizhong hung it on Bangs! Liu Hai saluted, and the officers around him also clapped their hands to congratulate! "Plus!" Zhang Zhizhong continued, "All walks of life in Shanghai have donated more than 100,000 yuan to reward everyone! ”

"In order to repay the people's trust, I and Commander Zhang have agreed on an offensive plan, which is as follows: hand over the frontal defense to the 60th Division of the 19th Route Army, the 87th Division and the 88th Division of the Fifth Army of Commander Zhang will attack from both flanks to outflank the enemy, and the 78th Division before the 19th Route Army will outflank the right flank of the battle line, cut off its rear road, and teach the corps as the general reserve! Then launch a general attack and completely wipe out the 24th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in front of the temple! Commander Cai said: "Let's see, do you have any opinions?" After listening, the division commanders from all walks of life were thinking about it, and Liu Hai also thought nervously, if the fight started, how should he arrange the artillery power!" Commander, this battle plan is very good, our 87th Division will definitely play brilliantly! "Okay, just do it, I've been beaten to the point of fire these days!" "I see that the little devil has no heavy artillery, just to fight the infantry, we will never bird him, now that Commander Liu has killed the devil's heavy artillery, it's time for us to fight!" The officers began to agree with me word by word!

"Captain Liu, you don't have any opinion?" Zhang Zhizhong asked bangs. "I'm thinking, although I was lucky to kill the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, but the Japanese naval artillery and the superiority of the air force cannot be underestimated!" Liu Hai said a word, and a group of officers immediately fell silent, because the artillery fire of the Japanese Navy and the bombardment of the Air Force were also quite powerful, and their troops suffered a lot because of this! "My opinion is that we can drop a lot of * on the coast and river banks to block the view of the Japanese navy, in the air." Bangs don't have a good idea all at once. "That's what I'm going to say," Zhang Zhizhong stood up and said, "Our Nationalist Government has sent the air force to participate in the war, and the air force in Guangzhou has also gone to Shanghai to participate in the war, and they will provide us with air cover. If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! "Our attack time is 17 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and all units are actively preparing for it, and if the enemy attacks during this period, they will resolutely block it!" Zhang Zhizhong gave the order, "Yes! The commanders of all divisions immediately stood up and shouted!

After the meeting, Liu Hai was left by Zhang Zhizhong and arranged the combat mission alone. "Commander Liu, you see, the location of the Japanese brigade we want to encircle and annihilate is here, that is, directly opposite the temple, behind him is the strength of the six independent brigades and a brigade of the Japanese army, after we start, the Japanese army in the rear will inevitably reinforce, your main task is to cooperate with the reinforcements of the 19th Route Army The 78th Division will block the attack, and resolutely block the Japanese reinforcements, as long as you can block the Japanese reinforcements, then we will win half of the victory!" Zhang Zhizhong said. "Army commander, if you want to reinforce the 78th Division to block the attack, my artillery regiment must advance to the area of Guojiatangzi, two kilometers opposite the temple, but the Japanese army opposite us is attacking very fiercely, and there are tanks, if you want to go forward two kilometers at once, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Liu Haijiang raised the practical difficulties. "I will let the 88th Division and the Air Force carry out a counterattack, strive to advance up to two kilometers, and compress your frontal brigade to the north of Nanhui Town, west of Miaohang, where the terrain is low-lying, which is more favorable for us to destroy it!" Zhang Zhizhong said. "If the commander can really send my regiment to Guojiatangzi, I will definitely be able to block the Japanese reinforcements!" "Good!" Zhang Zhizhong immediately said.

After coming out of the headquarters, Liu Hai did not rush back to the position immediately, because it was dark, and the Japanese army attacked very little after dark, so he decided to go to Zhou Yahe first and ask her to leave Shanghai first. Liu Hai drove the car by himself, and under the guidance of the guard platoon commander and a few brothers, he ran to Nanhuai Road in all corners and found No. 31! But when there were still 100 meters away from the 31st, Liu Hai suddenly ordered to stop, called the guard platoon commander and a few people to get out of the car, Liu Gao pistol, and quietly touched it along the edge of the lane.
