After hearing that the Chongteng detachment of the Japanese army had completely annihilated a regiment and captured the Japanese regiment flag, Zhang Zhizhong felt that it was necessary to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of Hu Lian's 102nd Division.
Yesterday, out of concern for Hu Lian's new arrival, I put them in a less important position. I didn't expect to achieve such a big result. This was an unexpected surprise.
"It seems that they should be moved to another place. Letting such a powerful force stay at the North Station is really disrespectful." Zhang Zhizhong looked at the map of the Songhu Battle on the wall and murmured to himself.
Nanjing Leader’s Residence “Why did Hu Lian seize a coalition flag?” The Chairman of the Generalissimo was beaming with joy in his office.
"Yes, Chairman." He Yingqin, who stood respectfully in front of the Chairman, said seriously: "I have verified it with Wen Bai and Zhang Zhizhong just now. Wen Bai has specially gone to Boyu's division headquarters to see this military flag with his own eyes."
"Okay." The chairman of the committee, who has always been calm and self-confident, also cracked his mouth and smiled, showing his porcelain teeth: "Well, Boyu is indeed my good student, and he has given a voice to the government. I want to
Commend him, commend him heavily. Respectfully, please prepare and ask Boyu and the others to fly the captured regiment flag to Nanjing. Tomorrow we will hold a press conference to announce this news to the world and let everyone see it.
, the Japanese are not invincible.”
The Chairman of the Generalissimo, who studied at the Japanese Military Academy, knows very well the significance of seizing a regiment flag. If the Japanese regiment flag is put up like that at a press conference, it is tantamount to spitting in the Japanese face.
Water.
"Yes." He Yingqin, who was secretly cursing in his heart, responded, but there was a look of disapproval on his face. Although it was very slight, it was still keenly observed by the chairman of the committee.
"Jingzhi, don't worry, Boyu and Su Tong will agree to send the alliance flag. I believe they still have this kind of tolerance." The chairman smiled casually and said: "Su Tong and the others already captured one last time.
The alliance flag is gone, this aspect is not that important to them. Go tell Wen Bai and be prepared to carry a heavier burden for Boyu and the others."
"Yes." He Yingqin had to admire the chairman's political insight. He was indeed very penetrating in looking at people and things.
Su Tong's family in Zhangjiakou "Jianming and Boyu called to ask if the Chairman asked us to send the captured military flag to Nanjing to prepare for a press conference. I have already called back and asked them to send it to Wenbai. You won't blame me for doing so without permission."
Make the decision," Jiang Baili said with a smile to Su Tong who had just finished dinner.
These words made Chief Su roll his eyes for a while. You even sent the telegram before you came to tell me and asked if you were angry. You were sincerely trying to make me angry.
"Okay, it's just a coalition flag. Just give it to me. It's nothing special." Chief Su waved his hand pretending to be generous.
"Hehehe"
Jiang Baili laughed and said, "Jianming, looking at your situation, I still feel a little distressed. It doesn't matter. I'll just seize it later."
"Seize them again, you said it lightly, you think these regiment flags are just cabbage on the street, just seize them if you say they will." After hearing this, Chief Su quit.
Don’t bully your friends for not understanding the meaning of the Japanese Army’s regiment flags. In later generations, the Japanese Army had a total of 444 regiment flags, but in the eight years of the War of Resistance, they had never been captured by the Chinese or Allied forces.
On the one hand, the only one still alive is still in their Yasukuni Shrine and is enshrined as a sacred artifact, which shows how rare this flag is.
At this time, the little nurse happened to bring an ordinary watermelon to the two men. She just heard a few words and said smoothly: "Jianming, what you said, isn't it just a flag? Why don't we ask someone to make a few more flags?"
Okay, how can you argue with the old man so hard over such a small thing?"
"Forehead"
After hearing what the little nurse said, Jiang Baili and Su Tong looked at me, then at you, and finally laughed.
Jiang Baili laughed so hard, "Jianming, it seems that none of us are as open-minded as your wife. Isn't it just a flag? Why should we take it so seriously?"
"Haha, yes, it's in vain that we still have one commander and one division chief of staff. As Fei'er said, it's just a military flag. We are too persistent."
"Newspapers were sold and sold on the streets of Nanjing. The central government annihilated the 323rd Regiment of the Japanese Army at Shanghai North Railway Station and captured a flag of the Japanese Army Regiment."
"The central government claimed that as long as the people unite, the Japanese army is not invincible."
"Here, give me a newspaper"
"Give me one too"
People in the streets of Peiping, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou were very excited after hearing the news. The Japanese were nothing special. Look, the coalition flag was also captured by us.
Those who don’t know what the Japanese united flag is quickly ask the people around them: “Hey, brother, what is this Japanese united flag? Can you tell me about it?”
"What, brother, you don't know what the Japanese alliance flag is. You are so out of date. Come on, I will teach you today."
In short, the Japanese are popular, completely popular, and their popularity is no less than that of Brother Sharp and Sister Feng in later generations.
"Bang" Matsui Iwane, furious, threw the teacup on the table towards Ryo Shigeto who was standing in front of him. The teacup hit Ryo Shigeto's forehead, and blood immediately flowed down his forehead.
"Bagayalu, you bastard, how could you let the Chinese Army take away all the regiment flags? What do you do as a detachment leader, bastard?"
"Hi, hi"
Facing the furious Matsui Iwane, Shigefuji didn't dare to defend himself and could only keep apologizing.
Matsui Iwane, who was out of breath like a bellows, worked hard to calm down his breathing.
"Chongteng, you can have a caesarean section yourself, so that you can die in a dignified way and your family and wife will not be harmed by you."
"Hi, thank you, Commander. I'll leave my family to you." Ryo Shigeto, who had been mentally prepared since he learned that the alliance flag was captured by the Chinese, bowed to Matsui Iwane and slowly exited his office.
.
"Division 102, it seems that I underestimated you. Did you give me a thumbs up as soon as we met? You won this time, but we have another time." Matsui Iwane stared at the picture on the wall.
Map muttered to himself viciously.
On September 3, the Japanese army stepped up its attack on Baoshan County. Baoshan County was once in great danger. In Baoshan County, the Japanese army's attack on Luodian was the most ferocious. [] Several divisions have already fought for Luodian.
Today, the third batch of Japanese reinforcements landed at Chuanshakou. Under the cover of aircraft and artillery, they advanced towards Luodian. Luodian was once again occupied by the Japanese army.
As soon as the Chairman heard the news of the fall of Luodian, he urgently ordered Chen Cheng to lead the 15th Army to recapture Luodian before noon. He said on the phone: "If you don't recapture Luodian before noon, you will be tried by court martial, and you will have to hold your head."
Come and see me”
After studying with Commander Luo Zhuoying of the Eighteenth Army, Chen Cheng, commander of the 15th Group, concluded that among the troops currently in the Shanghai area, only the 102nd Division from Chahar has the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment. Therefore, Chen Cheng made a special call
He told the Chairman of the Generalissimo: To recapture Luodian, the 102nd Division must be transferred to me. After hearing this, the Chairman agreed and immediately called Zhang Zhizhong and assigned the 102nd Division to Chen Cheng's 15th Group Army.
Chen Cheng immediately ordered the 102nd Division to rush to Luodian and recapture Luodian.
"Jianming, look, what tricks did the Chairman play? He assigned the 102nd Division to Chen Cheng's 15th Army. It's true." Jiang Baili handed a telegram to Su Tong.
Out of courtesy, the Chairman of the General Assembly immediately notified the Seventh Theater Command of the assignment of the 102nd Division to the 15th Army.
"Oh," Su Tong, who was replying to an official document, asked casually, "Where is the 15th Army Group stationed?"
"It seems to be from Baoshan County, that is, Luodian, Jiading, and Anting areas," Jiang Baili said casually.
"Well, what do you mean Luodian?" Su Tong, who was about to put down the document, couldn't help but froze in his hands, and raised his voice again and asked: "Luodian"
"Yes, it's Luodian. Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Baili asked curiously.
Holy shit, that was Luodian, the Luodian that would later be known as the flesh and blood mill of the Battle of Fu-Lu. This name was well known even to Chief Su, a pseudo-military fan.
"Hurry up and get the detailed map of the Shanghai theater." Staff officer Su Tongming, who didn't bother to explain, immediately brought the map of the Shanghai theater.
When the two of them took a closer look, Jiang Baili took a deep breath.
"Jianming, thank you for being alert. This is an important place. If the Japanese army captures this place, they can reach Liuhang and Dachang to the south, threatening Zhanghuabang and Yunzaobang; and they can reach Jiading and Anting to the west.
Occupy the Ning-Shanghai railway line. It can be said that by controlling Luodian, you have the initiative in the Songhu Battle."
"No, you must send a telegram to Hu Lian and tell him to be careful. This Luodian must be a place where the Japanese army fights to the death." Jiang Baili said quickly.
"It's better to think about how to give them more support than saying these are useless." Su Tong shook his head. "Hu Lian is a smart man. He must also know the important name of Luodian."
After a pause, Su Tong asked the staff officer next to him: "Has Wang Qinglong's Fourth Artillery Division arrived in Shanghai?"
"Sir, the special train of the Fourth Artillery Division has just arrived in Shanghai."
"Well, order Wang Qinglong to immediately reinforce the 102nd Division. Then order Gao Zhihang to ask Yuan Hongming to personally lead a flight regiment from the 4th Air Division and station it at Wuxi Airport, ready to reinforce the 102nd Division at any time. Then order the airship troops.
Allocate another brigade specifically to transport ammunition supplies to the 102nd Division and the 4th Artillery Division in Shanghai."
Su Tong issued several orders at once, making the atmosphere in the headquarters a little tense.
Looking at the confused expressions of everyone around him, Su Tong said solemnly: "Don't look at me like this, I think Luodian will definitely become a flesh and blood mill."
