"When did Jun Zuo call?" Song Xilian turned his attention to the communications soldier guarding the phone.
After hearing the question from the division commander, the signal soldier immediately stood up and saluted: "Reporting to the division commander, Jun Zuo called half an hour ago to inquire about the battle situation. You will not be at the division headquarters by then. Jun Zuo has already said that he will come to inspect the battle situation soon. !”
"What? Jun Zuo is coming to inspect the situation?" Song Xilian frowned slightly and asked.
"Yes, Jun Zuo said that when he called half an hour ago to inquire about the battle situation." The signal soldier answered truthfully.
After listening to the signal corps' report, Song Xilian turned to Chief of Staff Xiang Xianju and said: "It seems that Junzuo should be arriving soon. Come on, let's go to the door to greet Shizuo!"
As soon as Song Xilian finished speaking, a voice came from the door: "No need, I'm already here."
Song Xilian and Xiang Xianju turned around and saw that it was Zhang Zhizhong, commander-in-chief of the Ninth Group Army.
Following Zhang Zhizhong were soldiers from his guard battalion.
After seeing that the person coming was Zhang Zhizhong, Song Xilian's adjutant shouted "salute", and everyone in the 36th Division headquarters immediately stood up and saluted.
"Okay, everyone should be busy with their own affairs!" Zhang Zhizhong said with a stern face. He has served as the director of education of Huangpu Military Academy for so many years, but many Huangpu graduates recognize him.
Seeing Zhang Zhizhong's sullen expression, and thinking of his inquiry about the battle situation half an hour ago, Song Xilian guessed Zhang Zhizhong's intention at this time - either the battle was not going well, or he came to raise troops to question his guilt.
So Song Xilian chose to remain silent. When the commander came, he had his own intentions. As a subordinate, it was difficult to guess too much.
"Mr. Song, do you know what my intention is when I come to your division now?" Zhang Zhizhong looked at Song Xilian.
Song Xilian stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to Junzuo, I don't know the humble position. But there are only three reasons: first, the war is not going well; second, to supervise the war; third, to raise troops to investigate the crime."
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. This time I come, these three reasons are complete." Zhang Zhizhong said bluntly. The soldiers behind him moved a chair for him, and he took advantage of the situation and sat down.
"Sir, please speak." Song Xilian looked forward. He still had great respect for Zhang Zhizhong, a commander who was deeply trusted by Principal Jiang.
As for why he is not called the chief of education, the reason is simple. Zhang Zhizhong only took up the post of chief of education of Huangpu Military Academy in 1928, and Song Xilian was from the first phase of Huangpu, so there is no link.
Speaking of the origin of Huangpu, Song Xilian came earlier than Zhang Zhizhong. The former was a student in the first phase of Huangpu, and the latter was an instructor at the military academy in Huangpu in the third phase. Zhang Zhizhong only took over the post after He Yingqin resigned from the post of director of education. Up.
"First, according to reliable information from the Party and League Organization's Fuxing Society Secret Service (the predecessor of the military reunification), Japanese reinforcements from Japan will arrive in Shanghai in the near future, noon tomorrow at the latest. In other words, their reinforcements may arrive in Shanghai as early as this afternoon Or arrive in Shanghai in the evening." Zhang Zhizhong said slowly, releasing a very threatening signal.
Sure enough, as soon as this news came out, everyone present was shocked.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of the radio running.
"The second is to supervise the battle. On the 13th, we have missed the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy with one strike. This time, it is our army's last chance to annihilate the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai. So I, Zhang Zhizhong, am here. Supervise the battle!" Zhang Zhizhong's words were powerful and powerful, revealing a desperate intention inside and outside his words!
"Yes! I and the others will surely live up to the high expectations of our superiors and the country. We will attack the Japanese surrounded enemies with all our strength and not let anyone escape!" Song Xilian and other senior officers of the Thirty-sixth Division present all stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Zhizhong signaled everyone to put down their hands, and then said slowly: "Thirdly, I am here to raise the troops to question the crime. Since the Thirty-sixth Division entered the battlefield, the results it has achieved are gratifying, and it has nothing to do with the dedication of all the soldiers in the division. However, , the progress of the battle is still too slow, and I am also responsible for this. I am here to live and die together for everyone!"
"Yes!" Song Xilian and others stood at attention and saluted again. They already felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders, which was heavier than before.
"Everyone, please do what you should do now!" Zhang Zhizhong announced the disbandment with these words.
After the commander finished speaking, Song Xilian pulled over a messenger next to him and said to him: "Quick, go to the military supplies offices of the group army in Hongkou North and Nanxiang South immediately, find Zhang Tianhai, commander of the first battalion of the 216th Regiment, and order him Quickly complete the tasks assigned by me, and then return to the army to join the battle!"
"Yes, sir." The messenger responded and quickly ran out.
After giving this order, Song Xilian picked up the landline phone and said: "This is the division headquarters, pick up the 213th regiment headquarters immediately!"
After the call was connected, Song Xilian said: "Hello, is this the 213th Regiment Headquarters? I'm Song Xilian, please call your regiment leader Gu Baoyu to answer the phone!"
At the headquarters of the 213th Regiment, Gu Baoyu took the phone and said, "Hello, Master, this is Gu Baoyu."
That's right, the 213th Regiment is the unit responsible for the offensive from Yuezhou Road to Yangshupu.
"Gu Baoyu, I now order your 213th regiment to drill through Yangshupu at all costs within two hours. If you can't take it within two hours, come to me with your head raised!" After saying that, Song Xilian hung up. He picked up the phone, and then dialed the number of the 216th Regiment Headquarters.
This time, the war was so urgent that they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
Ten days ago, they had already missed a perfect opportunity to annihilate the Japanese army. This time, they could not let the Japanese army escape!
