"Yes, we are indeed a troop of the Thirty-Sixth Division." Zhang Tianhai said honestly, the name tag on his chest already told the other party.
"That's good, brothers fighting on the front line, thank you for your hard work." The tycoon said with a smile.
"Thank you to my colleagues in the Shanghai business community. How can I address you?" As the old saying goes, don't hit someone with a smile, so Zhang Tianhai naturally responded with a smile.
The business tycoon smiled and cupped his hands: "My Du Yuesheng, if Commander Zhang has ever stayed in Shanghai, he might know my reputation as Du."
Nani? Du Yuesheng? !
Isn't this the second among the famous "Three Tycoons of Shanghai"? !
How could you not have heard of it? ! It is also a character that often appears in later film and television dramas.
It can be said to be a famous name. How could Zhang Tianhai not have heard of it? Of course, he had heard of it in later generations.
Du Yuesheng, the second eldest among the "three gangster tycoons", only differs in terms of seniority. In terms of strength, he is no worse than the eldest Jin Rong, or even worse.
The point is, Du Yuesheng has three titles on his head - advisor to the National Government's Navy, Land and Air Force Headquarters, major general counselor to the Military Commission, and counselor to the Executive Yuan.
Although these titles are fictitious and have no actual power. They were only given by Chiang Kai-shek in repayment for his assistance, but they are still the rank of major general.
So Zhang Tianhai immediately stood at attention and saluted, saying: "Hello, Sir Du!"
I saw that Du Yuesheng smiled softly and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. I, Du Yuesheng, am just a gangster leader and a businessman. I just have the empty title of major general and counselor. How can I compare with you guys who are strong-willed?" Soldier."
Zhang Tianhai thought to himself, you are frank and a man who dares to take action.
I just thought to myself that it would never work if I said it out loud. Zhang Tianhai still understood the principle of carrying people in a sedan chair.
Zhang Tianhai smiled and said: "Sir Du is joking, why do you say that he is also a counselor of the Military Committee? Of course he is a lowly officer."
Du Yuesheng's face that did not look old returned to calmness, and then he said: "Since the war started in Shanghai, I have served as the chairman of the fundraising committee of the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association, and I am here to send condolences. "
With that said, Du Yuesheng pointed to the dozen large boxes carried by the workers behind his bodyguard.
I saw that the dozen or so large boxes had seals on them, with a line of large characters written on them: Gift from the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association!
Before Zhang Tianhai could speak, Du Yuesheng continued: "There are some daily necessities inside, such as hand towels and toothbrushes. As for urgently needed supplies such as medicine, I have sent people to your division hospital."
Hearing these words, Zhang Tianhai's eyes became slightly moist. He felt that he and his brothers were fighting the Japanese through life and death - it was worth it!
This is not only the sentiment of Shanghai’s business community, but also the sentiment of all Shanghai people.
Thinking about this, Zhang Tianhai turned his head and saluted Du Yuesheng with a solemn military salute: "Sir Du, thank you for your hard work! Zhang Yulin would like to thank people from all walks of life in Shanghai for their support of our national army in the war of resistance!"
Du Yuesheng did not refuse and accepted the military salute from Zhang Tianhai. He knew that this military salute from the young battalion commander Zhang in front of him was for the people of all Shanghai.
Du Yuesheng nodded lightly and said with sincerity: "You're welcome, Commander Zhang. The Japanese invaders have been bullying our country for a long time. As Chinese people, we should do our part. You are bleeding and sacrificing on the front, so we can't do nothing. China is the China of all Chinese people, not the Japanese!"
Du Yuesheng's words were sonorous and powerful, coming from the heart, which was very moving to hear.
Zhang Tianhai was no exception. He turned back to the brothers under his command and said: "All of you, salute!!!"
There was a "swish" sound, and everyone on the first battalion stood at attention and saluted from the bottom of their hearts. For a moment, their arms stood like a forest!
"Returning corpses wrapped in horse leather is the ultimate fate and the highest honor for our soldiers. Sir Du and the people of Shanghai can rest assured that we will do our best to fight against the Japanese invaders!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly, confidently, like a cry A promise is more like a guarantee.
Zhang Tianhai didn't dare to say anything about defeating the Japanese army in Shanghai, and he didn't want to say it, because he knew that this war would not end here. On the contrary, this was just the beginning!
…
At this time, it was already dawn, and the Japanese invaders' planes roared in the sky. One after another, the planes passed over the blue sky and then dropped bombs.
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
The Japanese aerial bomb exploded immediately when it landed on the ground, exploding a ball of death fire.
Although the Chinese Air Force was in a desperate situation, it was unable to gain the upper hand due to the huge disparity in numbers.
From time to time, one or two black-smoking fighter planes would fall to the ground and explode.
Among these crashed fighter planes, there were Japanese and Chinese ones.
Because the number of Japanese aircraft is too large, the Chinese Air Force has begun to suffer losses. Compared with the more than 100 Japanese fighter planes, the only dozen or so aircraft of the Chinese Air Force are really not enough...
In this clear blue sky, there are fewer and fewer Chinese Air Force fighter planes!
The loss of air supremacy will lead to many serious consequences. For example, ground armies will be exposed to enemy aerial fire; for example, telephone lines will be blown up, causing communication interruptions, and so on.
Just like Zhang Zhizhong's current extremely angry and hungry mood, it was caused by the fact that almost all the telephone lines at the Army Headquarters were blown up.
"Adjutant Liu! Is the phone line connected?!" Zhang Zhizhong asked Liu Xingren angrily.
Facing the furious Zhang Zhizhong, Liu Xingren reported without arrogance: "Reporting to Jun Zuo, the call has not been connected yet. However, I have sent someone to connect the phone line. I believe it will be connected soon."
After hearing the result, Zhang Zhizhong slammed the military cap on his head on the table: "The Japanese invaders bullied me too much!"
It's no wonder that Zhang Zhizhong was so angry. The phone lines were blown up and communications couldn't keep up. Then the headquarters was a deaf and blind man, unable to command the frontline troops and unable to receive the latest battle reports from the frontline in the first time.
"That's all. Immediately, in my name, send a telegram to the former enemy commander Wang Jingjiu, telling him that these troops in Shanghai urban area will be temporarily under his full command. If something goes wrong, let him come to see me!" Zhang Zhizhong said to him! The major in charge of the telecommunications department said.
After saying that, Zhang Zhizhong asked Adjutant Liu to go out with him with the security company and a mobile radio.
What to do? Of course he went to the front line to command the battle!
