The war room was silent. Every time Tong Yuanliang said something, Zhang Zhizhong's face turned pale. In the end, Zhang Zhizhong's face had turned from white to blue, and from blue to black, giving people the feeling of the sky before the storm, which was so gloomy that it made people tremble. Obviously, Zhang Zhizhong was already angry by the failure of the 88th Division.

Just one day after the war started, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed and a brigade commander was killed!

What is particularly important is that today's defeat has seriously damaged the spirit of the entire army. As the saying goes, the defeat today will inevitably cast a thick layer of haze on the next Battle of Shanghai.

If the commissioner asks, how should he, Zhang Zhizhong, answer?

Tong Yuanliang breathed a long sigh and continued: "The only highlight of today's battle is the 19th Independence Brigade of the Shanghai Security Corporation. After Han Chongwu Camp was completely wiped out by the Japanese army, the brigade set a trap in a very short time. In turn, he ambushed the Japanese army that was pursuing the victory and killed more than 80 Japanese soldiers."

Zhang Zhizhong felt even more bitter when he heard this. Although the 19th Brigade saved his face for the 88th Division and the 9th Army, he could not mention this matter in front of the Commissioner. If the Commissioner knew that the 19th Route Army had such a remnant and had a delusion to rekindle, he would not know how he would be angry.

Tong Yuanliang said: "Master, I have a suggestion that I don't know whether to speak or not?"

Zhang Zhizhong seemed to guess what Tong Yuanliang wanted to say, but he didn't respond in silence. Tong Yuanliang said directly: "The main attack on the enemy facing Baoshan Road is Han Xianyuan's 524th Regiment, and the security team cooperated with the action. Therefore, this small victory at the intersection of Baoshan Road can barely be counted as the 524th Regiment, which is worse than..."

"No." Before Tong Yuanliang finished speaking, Zhang Zhizhong interrupted, "How can we deceive the leader so much? Besides, Han Xianyuan Group has no merits, but wants to ask for me for him, isn't it ridiculous?"

After a pause, Zhang Zhizhong said again: "I'll explain to Shangfeng. Now you call each division and brigade immediately, let them carefully review and summarize carefully. The blood of so many brothers cannot be in vain. If the heads of each division and brigade cannot find their own problems and cannot learn from them, I will never forgive them!"

Baoshan intersection, the 19th Brigade position.

Xu Shijiu was lying on the roof of the villa on the right side of the intersection of Baoshan Road, holding a telescope in his hand to observe the movements of the Japanese army opposite. As it was getting dark, the Japanese army opposite never attacked.

Scar scratched his bald head and said, "Captain, the Japanese seem to be afraid of being beaten by us."

"Old Dao, you underestimate the Japanese devils too much." Xu Shijiu shook his head slightly and said, "The Japanese devils are not afraid of us, but because of insufficient troops, they do not attack." After a pause, Xu Shijiu said with a serious expression, "It seems that the commander of the Japanese army opposite is a powerful character. He did not think about revenge after suffering losses, and it is very difficult to deal with."

While speaking, Ergua followed the bamboo ladder and reported: "Captain, the seat is here."

"Old Dao, you're here to stare." Xu Shijiu handed the telescope to Scar and slid down the stairs along the bamboo ladder.

As soon as Xu Shijiu's foot board hit the ground, he was punched on the shoulder. When he looked back, it was Zhu Xia. Zhu Xia said excitedly: "Okay, you guys, all of you killed three Japanese turtles and two Japanese teams, and they suppressed the Japanese army on the opposite side, but they dared not take the initiative to attack. You are really good."

Xu Shijiu sighed and said, "The Japanese army's losses are probably far less than ours, right?"

Zhu Xia's expression dimmed and he said, "Yes, it's not just Han Chongwuying, but also the 523rd Regiment, which was mainly attacking the Japanese Tomb Mountain and the 264th Brigade at Chishi University, all suffered great losses. General Huang Meixing, the commander of the 264th Brigade, also sacrificed his life for the country. This was only the first day, and the 9th Army had already suffered more than 2,500 casualties."

"What did I say earlier?" Xu Shijiu spread his hands and said, "The Central Army underestimated the enemy too much. The front-line battalions, company-level officers generally don't know how to fight street fighting. If you don't suffer any losses, you will be a ghost." After saying this, Xu Shijiu sighed sadly again, "Oh, but I didn't expect that he would suffer such a big loss."

Zhu Xia said sadly: "Yes, I really let you talk."

Xu Shijiu said again: "Old Zhu, this is just the beginning. We have missed the best opportunity to eliminate the Japanese army in Shanghai. Now the Japanese army is prepared and has built a complete fortification chain with the six core strongholds as support. If our army wants to eliminate the Japanese army in Shanghai, we don't know how many twists and turns it will cost and how many more people will die.

Look, the next attack will definitely not go smoothly. If you don’t learn from the pain at the top and formulate practical and feasible tactics in a targeted manner, let alone ten days and half a month, even if you fight for the first half of the year, you may not be able to eliminate the Japanese army in Shanghai.”

Zhu Xia nodded and said, "Ajiu, you must have already had a solution, right?"

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Old Zhu, I am just a small security captain. Why do you care about that leisure?"

"You boy, I don't know you yet? If you don't think about such a challenging problem, can you sleep well?" Zhu Xia smiled and pointed at Xu Shijiu, turned around and said, "Follow me."

"Go?" Xu Shijiu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Where to go?"

"Guanyin Hall." Zhu Xia said, "Teacher Sun and Chief of Staff Zhang call for a name to see you."

After saying that, Zhu Xia turned around, but almost bumped into the young man standing behind him. Zhu Xia slapped his forehead and said to Xu Shijiu: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this." He pushed the young man to Xu Shijiu and said, "I give you a soldier, Ajiu, I tell you, this is a rare good soldier."

The young man was of medium figure, not very burly, but his eyes were very cold. Although he was wearing a khaki uniform, his collar seal was torn off and he didn't know what military rank. In addition, he also wore a short sword around his waist, which looked very well-known. Although it was only the first time he met, his intuition told Xu Shijiu that this was a dangerous guy!

Xu Shijiu was looking up and down. Xie Gouzi, who was sitting not far away smoking, was intrigued when he heard this. He immediately stepped on the cigarette butts to his feet, then got up and leaned over. Looking at the young man, there was even more unconcealed provocation: "Good soldier? Just like him, will he be so arrogant?"

The young man turned his head slightly and stared at Xie Gouzi coldly.

Suddenly the figure swayed, and the young man had a box cannon in his hand. Xie Gouzi took a breath and reached out to touch the holster at his waist, but found that the holster was empty. Besides, the young man tweaked it with one hand a few times, and the box cannon turned into a pile of parts and landed on the ground.

Xie Gouzi was stunned. He looked at the parts of the shell gun scattered on the ground for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. Ergua, who was eating biscuits next to him, was even more stunned.

"Okay, I'll take this soldier." Xu Shijiu said, "What's your name?"

The young man suddenly turned around and saluted Xu Shijiu again, saying, "Gao Shenxing."

Xu Shijiu nodded, turned around and ordered Xie Gouzi, "Thank you, get him a 38-large cover, let him be your deputy sniffer first."

"Yes." Xie Gouzi agreed with a bitter face.

Zhu Xia said: "Okay, Ajiu, hurry up and follow me to Guanyin Hall. Commander Sun and Chief of Staff Zhang are waiting for you." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xia pulled Xu Shijiu and walked out the door.

############

Guanyin Hall, 88th Division Division.

Several combat staff were whispering in the combat room, and one of them said: "Everyone, what is the origin of this security captain? How dare the labor stewards and stewards come out to greet each other?"

Another combat adviser said, "Brother, you don't know this. Let me tell you, this is not an ordinary security captain. Five years ago, the 128th Shanghai War. If this person had not killed the artillery position of the Japanese, our division would have to wait a few years if he wanted to be promoted from brigade commander to division commander."

"How many years? I tell you, it's not just a few years." Another adviser lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Let's tell you so. If it weren't for this one, our teacher would have been promoted, and it would be great to be able to save the guy who had a meal. You don't know how critical the situation was at that time..."

When the combat staff was about to release some unknown inside information, the division commander Sun Yuanliang suddenly laughed outside the combat room. Then Sun Yuanliang, who was in a well-dressed military uniform, had already led a security captain in a wrinkled blue and black uniform with a face full of gunpowder, and the several staff members all fell silent.

Sun Yuanliang walked and said, "Brother Hanhun, Han Xianyuan Group can win a small victory at the Baoshan intersection today. Your 19th Brigade has made great contributions. Brother, I have already asked Han Xianyuan Group for the upward peak. After the commendation comes, you will make Han Xianyuan bleeding no matter what, haha."

Zhu Xia, who came in together, couldn't help but worry.

When Zhu Xia saw that Xu Shijiu was still smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not the first time Sun Yuanliang did this. It was not that Sun Yuanliang deliberately wanted to be greedy for no military achievements. It was because the background of the 19th Brigade was special. If the 19th Brigade was really reported to the 19th Brigade to seek merit, let alone commendation, maybe Ajiu would have a life-threatening disaster.

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "The master's words are not worth it. When will you wait for the reward? And how much oil can Brother Xianyuan have? How much is the master's position? How many years can we pull out the roots and hairs at will be enough for our 19th Brigade to be able to get a few years longer. The master's position, the two machine guns in the yard outside are good, not as good as that, hehe."

"You kid, you really know how to find a time to reach out." Sun Yuanliang smiled and pointed at Xu Shijiu, saying, "Okay, you'll give you those two 20mm machine cannons imported from Germany. I'll give you ten base ammunition. Are you satisfied this time?"

Xu Shijiu hit the snake and said, "It's worthy of being a master, and it's generous to take action, but if you can give a few more 37mm war defense cannons, it would be great."

When Sun Yuanliang heard this, his feet staggered and almost fell to eat shit.

Zhang Boting and Zhu Xia, who were accompanying behind, looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Several combat staff in the war room looked at each other, thinking that this guy really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. He wants small cannons and combat defense cannons. Should he need 75mm field cannons later? The throne really gave 75mm caliber field cannons. Maybe this kid dared to speak loudly and ask for a 150mm heavy howitzer.
