readx;? After Wang Haitao returned to the city, he really showed the reporters a lot of trophies, including a wing flag that the Japanese army had not had time to destroy. www.biquge.info After filming the trophies, these reporters interviewed several other division commanders and some front-line soldiers and wounded soldiers, such as soldiers of the 547th Regiment who were injured by Japanese poison gas bombs, and they were even more popular interview subjects. It wasn't until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon that these reporters rushed back to downtown Shanghai.

Early the next morning, almost all newspapers published the full text of Wang Haitao's speech on the front page, as well as a large number of photos. There are also various media issues outside the streets, Shanghai. On the streets of Nanjing, as well as on the streets of major cities in China, there are newspaper boys shouting in crisp children's voices: "Outside, outside, Songjiang City has won another great victory, ** annihilated the 13th Division of the Japanese Army." With the shouting, the newsboys were surrounded by citizens, and both the number and the newspapers were snatched up.

Then teachers, students, and citizens in major cities held huge demonstrations in solidarity with the Shanghai battlefield and protested against the use of poison gas bombs by the Japanese army. These demonstrations were not only not stopped by the officials of the Republic of China, but also guided and protected them. In the concessions in Shanghai, these foreign powers were not concerned about how much victory the Chinese side had won, but whether the Chinese side threatened to retaliate after the Japanese army openly used poison gas bombs.

These powers convened an emergency meeting in the British Concession and agreed to put pressure on the Japanese government to refrain from using all kinds of chemical weapons. Even Britain and France, which have never expressed their position, have taken a tough stance this time. After receiving official notes from various countries, the Japanese Government hastened to say that it would not use chemical weapons again, and that the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield in Shanghai was a private act of some commanders.

After the Japanese cabinet reprimanded the base camp, the base camp hated the new 90th Division of the Chinese people to the core, and listed it as the number one enemy of the Imperial Japanese Army, and Wang Haitao, the commander of the new 90th Division, was also offered a reward of 1 million oceans by the Japanese army for buying a head. However, these Japanese divisions and regiments on the Shanghai front hated and feared the new 90th Division in the Chinese army, and all of them suffered losses at the hands of this new 90th Division.

Chiang Kai-shek was very happy after He Yingqin personally reported this news to Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, and although the results of the new 90th Division were gratifying, Wang Haitao's remarks made the great powers of various countries protest against the Japanese Government and send an official note to the Japanese Government, which made Chiang Kai-shek the happiest part. At the behest of Chiang Kai-shek, the Nanjing base camp rewarded the troops who participated in the Songjiang Campaign, and 18 medals were awarded. The total prize money is as high as nearly 10 million fiat currency.

Wang Haitao had not rested for a few days in Songjiang County, and he did not wait for the arrival of the Nanjing commendation, when General Gu Zhutong, acting commander of the Third Theater Commander, sent an order to Wang Haitao's desk. This order was to urgently transfer Wang Haitao's new 90th Division to the Suzhou Creek defense line for reinforcements, while Songjiang County was handed over to the 106th Division and the 109th Division for joint defense.

It turned out that in the past few days, the Japanese army met under Songjiang Castle and broke its blood. King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was also scolded by a call from the Tokyo base camp, and if it weren't for the fact that King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya was a royal family, he would have been escorted back to Tokyo for trial. King Hatohiko, who was scolded, was angry and ordered several divisions on the front line to storm the Suzhou Creek defense line. So the Japanese attack became fierce.

At this time, these local miscellaneous divisions guarding the Suzhou Creek defense line could not stand it, and asked the headquarters of the Central Route Army for help, Zhu Shaoliang could only send all the reserves in his hands, and blew up all the wooden bridges on the Suzhou Creek to barely block the Japanese attack. Zhu Shaoliang met with General Gu Zhutong again and asked for additional reinforcements to the Central Route Army.

General Gu Zhutong considered that the Japanese army in Songjiang had just been heavily damaged, and another division had been completely annihilated, and that there should not be much fighting on the Songjiang City side in a short period of time, so Wang Haitao's new 90th Division and the 62nd and 63rd divisions of the Hunan Army were transferred to the Central Route Army to strengthen the defensive force of the front-line position on Suzhou Creek. Regarding the transfer of General Gu Zhutong, General Zhang Fakui of the Right Route Army did not dare to stop it, and Wang Haitao and the commanders of the other two divisions had no choice but to obey orders.

After receiving the transfer order, Wang Haitao invited Shen Ke, commander of the 106th Division, and Zhao Yi, commander of the 109th Division, to the headquarters and showed the two of them General Gu Zhutong's transfer order. Then he said: "Two, the military order of Shangfeng is here, Haitao does not dare to disobey, this Songjiang County will rely on the two of you to work together to defend in the future." Although the Japanese army was defeated, there were still more than two divisions of troops, and the two of them were taken lightly to guard against the counterattack of the Japanese army. The location of Songjiang City is extremely important, once Songjiang City is lost, there will be no important place to defend on the road in downtown Shanghai, and the two of you must be vigilant!"

Shen Ke and Zhao Yi because of this victory, they were allocated enough weapons, ammunition and military supplies, and learned that Shangfeng was going to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, at this time their hearts were high, and after listening to Wang Haitao's words, they didn't take it too seriously, but they both replied: "Master Wang, please rest assured, we will definitely do what Master Wang said, and we will never let Songjiang City be lost." Wang Haitao also saw that the two didn't pay much attention to their words, but they didn't want to say anything more, so after handing over the city defense with the two, he led all the officers and soldiers of the new 90th Division to leave Songjiang County.

At this time, the new 90th Division, not counting the logistics troops and heavy artillery regiments, still had only more than 5,000 troops that could participate in the battle, but no unit dared to underestimate the new 90th Division, which had only more than 5,000 combatants. When all the personnel of the New 90 th Division left Songjiang County, the officers and men of the other divisions really knew how strong the New 90 th Division was; not to mention the logistics convoy that was several kilometers in a row, the nearly 100 guns of various calibers towed by cars of the heavy artillery company alone lined up several kilometers on the road.

Outside the north gate of Songjiang County, after several division commanders shook hands with Wang Haitao one by one and said goodbye, Wang Haitao officially left Songjiang County. When the team passed through Sheshan, Wang Haitao asked Brigadier Tang Renxin to lead the 542nd, 543rd, 544th, and 5454th regiments to rush to the south bank of Suzhou Creek to stand by, while the 546th Regiment, the 547th Regiment, the Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the baggage troops temporarily stayed at the foot of Sheshan.

Wang Haitao went up the mountain to meet the deputy division commander Zhao Zhongwu, and called Su Zuxin, Tang Longzai, Wei Erxi, Zhang Lingfu, Tang Yisheng, Tang Yishi and others together. After the people arrived, Wang Haitao began to arrange tasks. First, all the fighters in the 547th Regiment who were capable of fighting were merged into the 546th Regiment, and the 547th Regiment received the temporary independent battalion on Sheshan, as well as the nearly 1,000 soldiers recruited by Zhao Zhongwu during this period, further strengthened systematic training, and reorganized the 547th Regiment. After the reorganization, the 547th Regiment was stationed in Sheshan and obeyed the unified command of Deputy Division Commander Zhao Zhongwu.

Second, the logistics department sorted out all kinds of materials in Sheshan and transferred the materials that were not urgently needed to Nanjing, but it was necessary to first find a base near Nanjing, and tell Tang Renli, director of Longzhou County, that except for heavy artillery shells and military supplies, the rest of the weapons, ammunition, and military supplies should be transferred to this base. Deputy Director Tang Yisheng was also transferred to the base with the materials. The field hospital also transferred the seriously wounded to the base, which was defended by a company of soldiers from the guard battalion and the logistics security unit.

Third, after entering Shanghai, the heavy artillery regiment joined forces with the heavy artillery regiment that remained in Shanghai, and was ordered to launch a strike against the Japanese army at any time, and the heavy artillery regiment left two radio stations. The heavy artillery positions set up must be well camouflaged to prevent sabotage and aircraft bombing after the Japanese army discovers them. The security work of the heavy artillery regiment was carried out by the guard battalion of the heavy artillery regiment, and 20 twin heavy machine guns were transferred to Gaoping for air defense duties.

Fourth, Sheshan left one guard company to take up the daily guard task, two reconnaissance companies to take up the reconnaissance and alert tasks against the Japanese 10 th Army, and one company of the guard battalion and one company of the reconnaissance battalion to act with him and serve as the guard of the division headquarters. The armored battalion of the division remained in Sheshan, under the command of deputy division commander Zhao Zhongwu. After assigning all the tasks in one go, Wang Haitao breathed a sigh of relief and drank a few sips of water.

After listening to the task assigned by Wang Haitao, others didn't say anything, but Chief of Staff Su Zuxin couldn't help but ask: "Division, are you not too optimistic about the Shanghai battlefield and want to leave a way back for the whole division?" Wang Haitao sighed and said: "This Shanghai is the place where the Japanese army is determined to win, and now Lao Jiang has withdrawn all the Central Army in order to preserve his strength, and these miscellaneous armies on the front line are unstable."

Even if I join the Suzhou Creek defense line, facing hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket, and I have to plan early. It's best if Shanghai can be defended, and if it is lost, my new 90th Division must also have a foothold. Wang Haitao's words made everyone present nod again and again.

At this time, Tang Longzai asked: "Shizuo, should we focus on preserving strength in the following battles?" Wang Haitao said with a straight face: "No, how to fight and how to fight, we must not have negative thoughts about the Japanese army to preserve our strength, let alone show it in battle." These words that I am here today must not be disseminated, otherwise military law will be ruthless. Everyone's hearts trembled, and they hurriedly replied, "Yes!" ”

After everything was dealt with, the soldiers sent by the logistics department to find the logistics base address near Nanjing also set off overnight, and at this time the sky was about to brighten, and after Wang Haitao said goodbye to Zhao Zhongwu, Zhang Lingfu and others, he led his troops to advance into Shanghai. The continuous convoy of vehicles entering the city and the artillery pulled by heavy trucks made the citizens of Shanghai who got up early stop to watch, and the guard posts in Shanghai were also allowed to pass all the way after checking their documents.

Wang Haitao asked the heavy artillery regiment to join the remaining troops in the city, and then chose his own heavy artillery position for the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, and he took a company of guard battalions, a company of reconnaissance battalions, and the 546th Regiment to the headquarters of the Central Route Army to report. When there was still some distance from the headquarters, Wang Haitao asked the troops to stand by and walked towards the headquarters with a guard squad.
