With that heavy heart in mind, Zhang Tianhai walked up to Hu Jiaji and reported the situation.
"Reporting to the regiment, the first battalion suffered a total of 352 casualties during the attack on the dock, including 303 casualties and 49 serious injuries." Zhang Tianhai reported loudly.
Hearing this number, Hu Jiaji could not help but frown slightly. He knew that the First Battalion suffered heavy casualties in this battle, but he did not expect it to be so heavy.
Hu Jiaji sighed softly and said: "Okay, I understand, let's just do this for now and wait for arrangements. Now I'm going to see the master, you can come with me too!"
Being able to go with him to see the master shows that Hu Jiaji thinks highly of Zhang Tianhai. After all, not everyone has this kind of treatment.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai accepted it happily: "Yes, group seat."
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai walked slowly beside Hu Jiaji. After all, Captain Hu was a wounded soldier, and it was already good to be able to walk, although he had to be helped by the guards.
"Yulin, your old battalion commander Xiong Xinmin has been promoted now." Hu Jiaji suddenly revealed something that Zhang Tianhai found very incredible.
"No way? Didn't Battalion Commander Xiong just return to the 108th Brigade as Chief of Staff? Why was he promoted all of a sudden? Is it the position of deputy brigade commander of the 108th Brigade?" Zhang Tianhai was a little surprised, he knew Peng Jiguang, the commander of the 108th Brigade, valued Xiong Xinmin very much, but he didn't expect that he valued Xiong Xinmin to such an extent that he was promoted just after returning?
The battlefield was still the same battlefield, with broken walls and ruins, and the cement used to harden the road on the ground had also been blasted out with craters. It didn't look pretty at all.
To be honest, the appearance doesn't matter. The key is walking, which is much more difficult, especially for wounded and sick people like Captain Hu.
"No, it's not the deputy brigade commander. It's the commander of the 212th Regiment." After Hu Jiaji walked a few steps, he rested for a while.
"Captain of the 212th Regiment? It seems that this talent has always been a talent, which is a gratifying thing." The old officer was promoted, and Zhang Tianhai was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, although he knew that Behind this is the opportunity that only occurs when a certain officer sacrifices or is seriously injured.
The battlefield is like this, you rise quickly, but you die quickly.
Looking at the subsequent Battle of Nanjing, entire companies or platoons of officers and soldiers often died in battle. If you can survive, the position of commander is yours, but it depends on whether you have the fate.
On this cruel battlefield, there is no so-called "absolute luck". You have to die, and God will not spare your life regardless of your background.
God is sometimes so fair that you have nothing to blame.
"Commander Peng Jiguang of the 108th Brigade was injured. Li Zhipeng, the former commander of the 212th Regiment, promoted the brigade commander, and Xiong Xinmin, the brigade staff director, became the commander of the 212th Regiment. I hope Xiong Xinmin can stay in that position for a long time. Come on!" Hu Jiaji sighed softly.
Zhang Tianhai knew what the last words of the group leader meant, because staying longer will prove that you will live longer. If that position is changed that day, then there are only two possibilities - the first is promotion; the second is promotion; The second is to die in battle or sacrifice!
Xiong Xinmin is already the fastest among the sixth-generation students in Huangpu. Unless Li Zhipeng, the current commander of the 108th Brigade, and the Chief of Staff are killed in battle at the same time, and Gu Baoyu, the commander of the 213th Regiment, is killed or seriously injured, he will definitely not be in that position. Let Xiong Xinmin, the new leader, sit on it!
However, is it possible for the three top brass of the 108th Brigade to die in battle at the same time? Therefore, what Hu Jiaji hopes is that Xiong Xinmin will not die in battle.
On this cruel battlefield, many familiar faces would be lost every day, and new and unfamiliar faces would be added. After finally getting familiar with these new faces, they were sacrificed again.
Hu Jiaji is not one of those ordinary people who thinks that eliminating this group of Japanese is a victory. He is a graduate of the fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy! So he knew clearly that this was not an ending, but a brand new beginning!
For this old subordinate who had served under him for a period of time, Hu Jiaji could only hope that he could survive and not die like the Huangpu elites like Li Haocheng who had finally grown up.
Song Xilian's division headquarters was not far from the frontline battlefield, only about 200 meters away, so even if Hu Jiaji had inconvenient legs and feet, it wouldn't take long to get there with Zhang Tianhai and others.
Before arriving at the division headquarters, Zhang Tianhai saw from a distance that four people surrounded the division commander Song Xilian, as if they were asking questions.
Seeing only four people, including men and women, well-dressed, holding a very precious camera in this era, Zhang Tianhai knew that these people were reporters, and most of their actions at the moment were interviewing Song Xilian.
After all, being able to break through several defensive lines that the Japanese army focused on interception in one night and capture the Huishan Pier was a moderate victory.
When the Chinese army faced the Japanese army, it had suffered too many defeats and suffered too many losses, and the number of victories could be counted on one hand. Especially the Northeast Army lost the three northeastern provinces without firing a single shot. What a shame!
Therefore, the Nationalist Government needs the good news of this victory to tell the people that the little devils are not invincible.
So, this group of reporters came.
"Reporting to the division seat, Hu Jiaji, the humble commander of the 216th Regiment (First Battalion Commander Zhang Tianhai), come to report!" Hu Jiaji and Zhang Tianhai reported in unison. As for the guards, since they were supporting the regiment commander, it was inconvenient for them. salute.
After seeing Hu Jiaji coming, Song Xilian immediately smiled happily and said: "Haha, De Cheng (Hu Jiaji's cousin) came just in time. Let me introduce to you. They are reporters from the Central News Agency. This is reporter Zheng Man, and the other three are her assistant."
"Reporter Zheng, hello! I am Hu Jiaji, commander of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division of the National Revolutionary Army!" Hu Jiaji motioned to the guards to let go of him, and then forced himself to perform a standard military salute.
"Reporter Zheng, let me introduce to you that Captain Hu is the number one hero who personally led the team to capture Huishan Pier." Song Xilian's gentle and elegant face revealed a heartwarming smile.
"Oh, it turns out that Captain Hu personally led the team. He is indeed a hero and has a magnificent demeanor." Zheng Man said with a slight smile, generous and decent.
I saw that Zheng Man was about 24 or 25 years old, and about 1.65 meters tall. At this time, she was wearing a decent white cheongsam, which showed off her curvy figure. Coupled with her Zhang Yanruo's peach-shaped pretty face will really fascinate many men.
If I had to use one word to describe Zheng Man, it would be vixen, and he is a walking vixen with a fairy spirit.
She is as beautiful as a living vixen, but she has a graceful temperament that emerges from the mud but is not stained, and is clean but not demonic.
Zhang Tianhai couldn't tell what kind of woman this was.
