On the morning of August 24, Chen Cheng, commander of the 15th Army, reported the military deployment to the Ministry of Military Affairs based on the enemy situation. The content of the secret message is as follows:

Nanjing. Minister He, the general length: 1120 secrets. (A) Enemy situation: (1) After the enemy landed, in Baoshan, Yuepu Town, and Chuansha Town, a thousand enemies attacked our Liuhekou, and another part of them occupied Luodian Town.

A brigade is now attacking Baoshan from Wusong. (II) The main force of the 67th Division is assembled Jiading and Luodian, and one is assaulting Chuansha Town. (IV) The 61st Division has arrived in Jiading, and the rest is intended to be located near Nanxiang.

I am very familiar with the fact that he is in charge of the position of Chen Cheng, Jing Chen, and the other is to be located near Nanxiang. (V) The 87th Division of Wusong has sent Brigade Commander Liu to command. I am very familiar with the fact that he is in charge of Chen Cheng, Jing Chen, and the other is to be located near Nanxiang.

On August 24, the Japanese army's follow-up troops continued to land, and one of them occupied the Wusong Fort and Baoshan, and the main force expanded to the direction of the Lion Fort. At the same time, in order to strengthen the army's firepower, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters ordered the dispatch of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of Independent Heavy Artillery and the Independent Siege Heavy Artillery Brigade on the same day, which was assigned to the "Shanghai Expeditionary Force".

In order to facilitate command, Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the 87th Division, divided the Songhu siege military zone into the left and right wings and two garrison zones: the 88th Division and the Independent 20th Brigade as the right wing troops to attack the enemy in Hongkou; the 36th Division and the 87th Division were left wing troops to attack the enemy in Yangshupu; the Shanghai Police Corps and the Security Corps were still serving as the garrison in Qiujiang and Wusong areas. On that day, Zhang Huabang's battle was extremely fierce. The 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps suffered great casualties. The 36th and 87th Divisions adjusted 4 regiments to counterattack to stabilize the front. In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, the troops who broke into Yangshupu to retreat that night, changed to defense along the intersection of the concession. The siege combat situation in the concession underwent a fundamental change, and the defensive confrontation was adopted.

On that day, the 588th Regiment of the 294th Brigade of the 98th Division of the 15th Army conquered Baoshan at 1:00 pm, expelled a few Japanese troops who had not yet established a foothold, and occupied Baoshan City. The 292nd Brigade arrived at Yuepu and Xinzhen area at dusk that day, building fortifications and preparing to attack the Japanese troops in the Lion Forestry.

On August 124, night fell, and the 66th Regiment officially handed over all positions inside and outside Luodian Town to the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division. After the 66th Regiment gathered the troops, the regiment commander Hu Lian quickly conveyed the combat deployment of his superiors to all cadres at the company and above the regiment, and arranged night combat tasks.

At 9 p.m. that night, the 61st Regiment of the 31st Brigade had been assembled at Majiajia. He sent a battalion of troops straight from west to east toward Xinzhen, searching and advancing, alerting the invading enemies, and providing cover for the assembly of the main forces of the entire division. At about 9:30 p.m., the 33rd Brigade had been assembled near Wudoujing and began to search and attack eastward.

The second battalion of the 66th Regiment was the regiment pioneer battalion, the fifth company of the second battalion was the vanguard company, and the first platoon led by the four-eyed platoon leader Yuan Qifu was the company's sharp knife platoon.

Just as they set out from Wudoujing, Yuan Qifu's sharp knife platoon was still moving forward according to the entire system. Since it was still a little far from the Japanese army stationed in the village, everyone in the team was talking in a low voice.

In this platoon, Yang An was a real recruit, but not an ordinary recruit. From August 22 to the health team of the 11th Division, he was soon assigned to the 33rd Brigade's direct spy platoon as a health officer. The spy platoon had infantry squads, communication squads, service squads, and breeding squads, but there was no health squad. In this way, Yang An became the most alternative Red Cross squad in this platoon. On August 23, in Luodian, he was awarded the rank of corporal for outstanding performance. On August 24, because of his superb shooting skills in Luodian, Hu Lian was asked to join the reconnaissance squad, and was promoted to the rank of sergeant for outstanding performance and was almost promoted to deputy platoon leader.

In the team, everyone was talking and laughing, but Yang An was a dull man and didn't say a word.

"I heard that the 65th Regiment took the train to Shanghai. Every time they arrived at the stop, they had condolences."

"That's right, my fellow villager said that there were condolence groups organized by the masses along the way. Many young and young students came to the car to give warm condolences, giving flowers, canned food, fruits, biscuits, cigarettes, and shook hands with our soldiers. The fellow villager said that a female college student gave him a bouquet of flowers, and he couldn't even put down his hands until the train slowly started."

"Oh, it's really enviable!"

"Hey, don't be envious. Next time I won the battle, I went back, met the brigade commander, and reported to the brigade commander, and said that this time, we would let our 66th Regiment take the train and let their 65th Regiment take the steamship."

"Hahaha, of course this is OK!"

....

The team was filled with joy and yearning for victory, as if it wasn't like fighting now.

The second squad leader Qin Weihua was a sergeant. Since Yang An was brought to a row by the regiment commander, he began to pay attention to this "little white-faced". Just because he fired those shots at the bridgehead, he was specially awarded the rank of corporal by the 33rd Brigade. Qin Weihua was a little dissatisfied, and of course there were still people who were dissatisfied. Yesterday, the kid followed the scout forward and was promoted to the rank of sergeant after he came back. He was almost promoted to the deputy platoon leader and suddenly became his direct superior, which made him even more dissatisfied.

Qin Weihua rushed to catch up with Tang Jiabao and whispered: "Squad Leader Tang, I heard that the young man who went out with you yesterday was the teacher's confidant?"

"I don't know." Tang Jiabao didn't understand the purpose of Qin Weihua's question and answered calmly. Of course, he really didn't know if Yang An was the confidant of the teacher.

"I heard that when the regiment commander asked him for him, the regiment commander told him."

Tang Jiabao was reconnaissance for a day outside, so he had no energy or mind to care about this issue. After returning from the reconnaissance, he did not have the heart to care about this issue. He heard this, and he was a little surprised and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. It was what the regiment commander and battalion commander and the company commander said. The regiment commander also said that it took some time to ask him to come over. I hope our battalion commander, the company commander, will use him well."

"Oh, there's also this, I really don't know. This also means that this kid is a good piece of material!"

"If it weren't for the care of the division commander, he could have been promoted from a recruit to a sergeant in two days, and he would have almost become our platoon deputy."

"It's wartime now, and of course it's different from peacetime."

After these two days of battle, Yang An experienced life and death like their squad, and made military achievements. Tang Jiabao had no objection to Yang An's promotion of the military rank. Even if the commander promoted him to deputy platoon leader, he thought it was natural for Yang An to get these.

Wang Xiaowang, the deputy squad leader of the second squad leader, came up and said, "Hmph, wartime? It's too fast even when it's wartime. Without the relationship of the division commander, he can climb so fast. I heard that a squad leader of the brigade spy risked his life and exploded three armored vehicles to pick up a deputy squad leader. Why is he a little bitch? Squad leader Tang, your monthly military salary is 15 yuan. In a few days, he can be promoted to a sergeant with a new recruit who has only been a few days, and he can get the same military salary as you."

Tang Jiabao was slightly stunned, and didn't know how to tell them for a moment.

"Good, it's 15 yuan a month, and it's still a recruit. You can buy anything you want." Wang Xiaowang said, feeling that his saliva was about to flow out.

"You only know that he wants to be the deputy platoon leader because he knows he is given his life?" Hearing their conversation, Lu Dazhuang also came over and said dissatisfiedly. Lu Dazhuang was in danger twice in a row, both of which were saved by Yang An, especially the second time, Yang An retreated with him on his back, his target became larger, and the danger was obvious.

"Get out! The new recruit, why are you joining in the fun?" Qin Weihua didn't believe that Yang An's promotion was exchanged for his life. Even Tang Jiabao was not promoted, so how could Yang An, a new recruit, have such an opportunity? It's incredible.

Of course, Wang Xiaowang didn't believe Lu Dazhuang's words. He waved to him repeatedly and said with annoyance: "Go, go, go!"

A new recruit from Lu Dazhuang saw the squad leader of the second squad. The deputy squad leader arranged Yang An's fault, but he did not allow the explanation. He felt extremely depressed. He hummed, looked at them again and looked at them hatefully, and bowed his head to walk helplessly.
