As the soldiers of the commando team continued to rush to the roof platform, the gunfire on the roof platform was dense to sparse, when Wei Erxi crossed the threshold and went up to the platform, he found that only more than 20 Japanese soldiers were surrounded in a corner of the platform, and there were several Japanese officers among the Japanese soldiers.

Wei Erxi came to the front of the line and said in Japanese: "Surrender!" The major general shook his head and said in Chinese: "The samurai of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan will not surrender, let's use the samurai method to duel." After speaking, he also pulled out the command knife from his body. The rest of the Japanese soldiers also withdrew from the bullets in the Type 38 rifles one after another, preparing to fight the bayonets with the Chinese soldiers.

Wei Erxi shook his head and said, "If you don't surrender, then you can only be destroyed." "With Wei Erxi's order, dozens of submachine guns and light machine guns spat out tongues of fire, and more than 20 Japanese soldiers and several officers were beaten into nests by dense bullets and went to see their Aunt Amaterasu.

When the last Japanese soldiers were eliminated, cheers rang out from the rooftop, followed by cheers from the compound, which lasted for a long time and spread in all directions. At this time, the east has revealed a ray of fish belly white, and dawn is coming.

After General Zhang Zhizhong was woken up from his sleep by his adjutant, when he heard the adjutant's report that the Supplementary Brigade and the Independent Battalion had taken advantage of the night to capture the Japanese headquarters building and killed one Japanese major general, one Dazuo, and more than 20 other officers, he was completely sleepy, and his excitement was overflowing. He immediately rushed to the telegraph room and sent a telegram to the Nanjing General Headquarters and President Chiang.

When General Zhang Zhizhong arrived at the Japanese headquarters building, the soldiers of the supplementary brigade had almost finished cleaning the battlefield, and piles of Japanese corpses were piled up in several piles, ready to be poured on gasoline and burned, while the bodies of the killed Japanese major general Shimada Shigetaro and the bodies of several other senior officers were lined aside. In the compound are rows of Chinese soldiers who died in this battle, and the remains of these soldiers fill the entire compound, no less than hundreds.

In this battle, the independent battalion also sacrificed more than 100 people, just like the 22 soldiers who died in the assault last night, which are the old men of the guard company and the backbone of the independent battalion. The sacrifice of these people made Wei Erxi heartbroken. General Zhang Zhizhong did not inquire about the battle situation at first, but came to the front of the sacrificed soldiers with his entourage, first took off his hat and bowed, and then solemnly presented a military salute to them.

After doing this, General Zhang Zhizhong walked in front of Yang Wenjing, Du Haifeng and Wei Erxi. When the three of them saw General Zhang Zhizhong coming, they stood up and saluted at the same time. After General Zhang Zhizhong returned the salute, Yang Wenjing stepped forward and said: "Report to the commander, my supplementary brigade has completed the task of conquering the commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai, killed more than 1,300 officers and soldiers under Major General Shigetaro Shimada of the Japanese army, and captured six people. Please instruct. ”

At this time, Wei Erxi also stepped forward, holding the Japanese command knife in his hand and said: "Sir, this is the saber of General Shigetaro of the Japanese army, specially dedicated to the commander." Zhang Yezhong took the command knife from Wei Erxi's hand with a smile in his eyes and played with it. This command knife has a gold chrysanthemum inlay on the handle, and the handle is also coated with gold. Generally, the command knife inlaid with gold chrysanthemums is a gift from the Japanese emperor, which is very rare.

After playing with the command knife for a while, General Zhang Zhizhong turned around and handed it to the entourage behind him, and then said: "You have worked hard, you can capture the Japanese army headquarters in Shanghai, kill one Japanese major general, and many adjutants, you have made great contributions, and I will definitely ask the General Headquarters and Chairman Jiang for credit for you." Have you figured out what the identity of this Shigetaro Shimada is?"

Yang Wenying replied: "Report to the chief, after interrogating the prisoners, the identity of this Shigetaro Shimada has been figured out." He was a subordinate of Lieutenant General Koichi Shiozawa, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Shanghai, and served as chief of staff of the Japanese garrison in Shanghai. Yesterday afternoon, when the Japanese warships were shelling our troops and our troops were retreating, Shiozawa Koichi left the headquarters building with some officers and guards, boarded the ship from Huishan Pier, and went to the Japanese ship Izumo to meet with Vice Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Third Fleet. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Wenjin paused, took out a document bag from his body, and continued: "Sir, this is a document that was searched from the Japanese army's confidential room when cleaning the battlefield, and the documents that the Japanese army has not yet come and destroyed are now handed over to the commander." Zhang Zhizhong took the document bag, opened it and saw that it was full of Japanese documents, handed it to the adjutant of his entourage, and said to him: "Find someone to translate immediately, I will see it later." ”

The lieutenant saluted and replied, "Yes, sir." Then he turned and walked away. General Zhang Zhizhong also inquired about the details and process of the capture of the headquarters. When he heard that it was Wei Erxi's independent battalion that formed an assault team, infiltrated the Japanese headquarters, and attacked first, and then wiped out the Japanese army with the soldiers of the supplementary brigade inside and outside, and occupied the Japanese headquarters, he excitedly said a few good words.

Subsequently, General Zhang Zhizhong asked the supplementary brigade and the independent battalion to rest on the spot, and asked them to properly place the bodies of the fallen soldiers before leaving the Japanese headquarters. Soon after returning to the office, General Zhang Zhizhong's adjutant rushed to his office. When the adjutant came in, he stood up and saluted and said, "Report to the commander, this is the Japanese military intelligence that has just been translated, please take a look." ”

General Zhang Zhizhong took a stack of information and said, "Okay, you go down." The adjutant saluted and left. General Zhang Zhizhong sat behind his desk and began to look at the information one by one. The more General Zhang Zhizhong looked at it, the more solemn his face became, and after reading it all, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he left the office in a hurry.

It turned out that General Zhang Zhizhong had in his hands a telegram between the Japanese army base camp and the Japanese garrison headquarters in Shanghai, which included a report on the situation of the Japanese army base camp by Koichi Shiozawa, commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai. There is also a call back from the base camp, and Koichi Shiozawa must hold on. On 15 August, the base camp was reorganized into a Shanghai Dispatch Army, with Senior General Matsui Ishine as its commander.

The dispatch army has under the jurisdiction of the 3rd and 11th Divisions, the 7th Independent Machine Gun Brigade, the 5th Combat Vehicle Brigade, the 8th Independent Light Armored Squadron, the 10th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 4th Mortar Brigade, the 3rd Field Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade, the 3rd Field Air Defense Brigade, the 8th Independent Engineer Wing, the 6th Independent Flying Squadron, the Shanghai Dispatch Signal Corps Headquarters, and the 5th Independent Siege Heavy Artillery Brigade.

The 3rd Division will depart by boat at Atsuta Port on 18 and 19 August, while the 11th Division and the rest of the unit will depart by boat at Tatotsu Port on 20 and 21 August. The units will arrive in Shanghai on 23 August and prepare to land at Chuansha Town, Baoshan.

This information is not untimely and unimportant. Therefore, General Zhang Zhizhong came directly to the telegraph room. General Zhang Zhizhong directly ordered the confidential officer in the telegraph room: "Hurry, Chairman Chiang of Nanjing is in a hurry." Then he telegraphed the contents of the information to Chiang Kai-shek, and asked Chiang Kai-shek to immediately increase his troops in Shanghai to resist the Japanese army.
