"When did Junzu call?" Song Xilian turned his gaze to the communication soldier guarding the phone.

After hearing the question from the division commander, the communication soldier immediately stood up and saluted: "Report to the division seat, Jun Zu called half an hour ago to inquire about the battle situation. You are not in the division headquarters by then. Jun Zu has already said that he will come over 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 when he called to inquire about the situation of the war half an hour ago." The communication soldier replied truthfully.

After listening to the report of the Communications Soldier, Song Xilian turned to the Chief of Staff Xiang Xianju and said, "It seems that the Jun seat should be coming soon. Let's go to the door to welcome the teacher seat!"

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, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army?

Following Zhang Zhizhong, there 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 immediately stood attentively and saluted.

"Okay, let's do your own things!" Zhang Zhizhong said calmly. He has served as the chief of education at the Whampoa Military Academy for so many years, but many Whampoa graduates recognize him.

Seeing Zhang Zhizhong's calm face and recalling the situation of the war half an hour ago, Song Xilian guessed Zhang Zhizhong's purpose at this time - if the war is not going well, or if he comes to raise an army to question him.

So Song Xilian chose to remain silent. When the superior came, it was his intention. It was hard to guess as a subordinate.

"Teacher Song, do you know what I want to go to your division headquarters at this time?" Zhang Zhizhong looked at Song Xilian.

Song Xilian stood attentively and saluted: "I don't know the job when I report to the senior seat. But there are only three reasons: one, the war is unfavorable; two, the supervision of the war; three, the establishment of an army to question the crime."

"Okay, then I'll just say it. I'll come this time, all three reasons are complete." Zhang Zhizhong said bluntly. The soldiers behind him brought him a chair and he sat down.

"Please tell me, sir." Song Xilian looked ahead and respected Zhang Zhizhong, the chief who was trusted by Principal Jiang.

As for why he did not call him the chief of education, the reason is very simple. Zhang Zhizhong was the chief of education in the Huangpu Military Academy who only served as the chief of education in 1928, while Song Xilian was from the first class 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 of Huangpu First Class, and the latter was a military academy that only arrived in Huangpu Third Class, and Zhang Zhizhong took the lead after He Yingqin stepped down from the position of education chief.

"First, according to reliable information from the Party and League organization Fuxing Society Secret Service (the predecessor of the Military Commission), Japanese reinforcements from Japan will arrive in Shanghai soon, and will be noon tomorrow at the latest. In other words, their reinforcements may arrive in Shanghai as early as this afternoon or evening." Zhang Zhizhong said slowly, sending a very deterrent signal.

As expected, as soon as this news came out, everyone present suddenly shocked.

There was a silence around, and only the sound of the radio station running was dripping.

"The second is to supervise the battle. On the 13th, we missed the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy with one blow. This time, it is the last chance for our army to annihilate the Japanese Marines stationed in Shanghai. So I, Zhang Zhizhong, came here to supervise the battle!" Zhang Zhizhong's words were powerful, and both words revealed a sense of decisive death!

"Yes! Bei Zhi and others will definitely live up to the high expectations of the superiors, live up to the country's trust, attack the Japanese army's besieged enemies with all their might, and not let them escape!" Song Xilian and other senior officers of the 36th Division present stood attentively and saluted.

Zhang Zhizhong signaled everyone to put their hands down, and then slowly said: "Third, I came to raise an army to question the crime. The 36th Division has achieved great results since entering the battlefield, which is very related to the use of life for all the soldiers of the division. However, the progress of the battle is still too slow, and I have a responsibility for this. When I come here, everyone will survive and die together!"

"Yes!" Song Xilian and others stood attentively and saluted again. They had already felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders, which was heavier than before.

"Everyone, do what you should do now!" Zhang Zhizhong's words were declared disbanded.

After the commander finished speaking, Song Xilian pulled a communication soldier beside him and said to him: "Hurry, go to the military military headquarters in north and south of Hongkou, find Zhang Tianhai, the commander of the 216th Regiment, and order him to quickly complete the tasks assigned by me, and then return to the army to participate in the battle!"

"Yes, sir." The messenger responded and ran out quickly.

After giving this order, Song Xilian picked up the landline phone and said, "This is the division headquarters, and I will immediately pick up the 213th Regiment headquarters!"

After the phone was connected, Song Xilian said, "Hey, is it the 213th Regiment Headquarters? I am Song Xilian, and I ask your leader Gu Baoyu to answer the phone!"

At the headquarters of the 213th Regiment, Gu Baoyu took the phone and said, "Hey, Master, I am Gu Baoyu."

That's right, the 213th Regiment is the troops responsible for the attack from Yuezhou Road to Yangshupu.

"Gu Baoyu, I am now ordering you, the 213th Regiment, to be able to penetrate Yangshupu at all costs. If you can't take it in two hours, come to see me with your head!" After saying that, Song Xilian hung up the phone and then called the 216th Regiment headquarters.

This time, the war was urgent and they could not breathe a sigh of relief!

Ten days ago, they had missed a great opportunity to wipe out the Japanese army. This time, they could not let the Japanese army escape!

Yes, I missed a good opportunity to wipe out the Japanese army ten days ago.

The launch time of the Battle of Shanghai in the "August 13" should be August 14th, not August 13th. Why do you say this? Because according to Zhang Zhizhong's deployment, it was to launch an attack on the enemy in the early morning of August 13th, and the Japanese army was caught off guard.

Before the early morning of August 13, the attack troops formed by the 87th Division of the National Army, the 88th Division and the Independent Artillery Regiment had completed the attack preparations for the Japanese strongholds of Hongkou and Yangshupu.

Just as the attack was about to be launched, Zhang Zhizhong received a telephone order from the Nanjing Command: No attack is allowed.

Zhang Zhizhong hurriedly replied: "Our army has been launched and the attack preparations have been completed."

However, the call from the Nanjing Command was still "not allowed to attack". According to Zhang Zhizhong's deployment, "take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, defeat the enemy's main force in one fell swoop, and then take down the entire Shanghai", so there is a saying that it missed the perfect opportunity to wipe out the Japanese army.
