Chapter 42 Target Shajing Port
"Team leader, have we received the order to go up to the peak?" Zhang Tianhai asked casually.
Obviously, Hu Jiaji is in a pretty good mood now, so he didn’t say that Zhang Tianhai asked too many questions or anything, and just explained: “The war is tense over there at the 215th Regiment. The Japanese resistance in Hongkou is very tenacious. Compared with Huishan,
The enemies at the dock are even worse. Now that our 216th Regiment has been replenished, it stands to reason that it will be our turn to take over soon."
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted, "I will go and convey the order from the leader now."
"There's no rush. We'll go back later." Hu Jiaji waved his hand and said, "I heard that reporter Zheng came to see you just now?"
As soon as he heard about this, Zhang Tianhai suddenly had black lines on his forehead: Brother, your main job is to be a soldier, not an entertainment gossip reporter, okay? Besides, didn't you already ask this question just now?
Asking knowingly?
"Uh... there is such a thing. The main reason is to see if there is any reporting material." Zhang Tianhai looked a little nervous. This was the first time such a situation had happened.
Like when he was the captain of the Marine Corps Brigade's Sharp Knife Squadron, who would dare to question him in such a gossipy way? Even the brigade commander wouldn't have the time to gossip about such things.
That's right, for Zhang Tianhai, Hu Jiaji, who usually had the image of a tough guy who was not afraid of death, was now nothing more than a savage beast.
Especially since he is still an extremely gossipy beast.
"Oh, Commander Zhang, don't be nervous. I'm just asking." Hu Jiaji smiled, his eyes narrowed like a fox's.
"..." Zhang Tianhai really didn't know how to answer what Hu Jiaji said. He had a faint feeling that Fairy Zheng was definitely a big trouble.
"Okay, okay, look at how wilted you are. Do you still look like a man? You don't dare to admit this shit. Hurry up and go back to your first camp." Hu Jiaji waved his hands, looking impatient.
The expulsion order was issued. Fortunately, he was a wounded person now and was in a good mood, otherwise Zhang Tianhai would have been kicked in the butt by Bigfoot.
Well... as for Captain Hu's fondness for big feet to kick people's butts, it was an open secret in the 216th Regiment. Second Battalion Commander Wu Tao, for example, had his butts kicked by Captain Hu's big feet frequently.
After receiving the order, Zhang Tianhai said "yes" and left in a hurry.
For some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of depression when facing Commander Hu. Perhaps it was because this commander, who was born in the Huangpu Phase 5 Artillery Section, was so sophisticated in human relations that his thoughts were always understood at a glance.
I was seen through, so I was depressed.
"Assemble the whole camp!" Zhang Tianhai stood in the middle of the rest area and shouted.
After hearing the battalion commander's order, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion were extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them to line up step by step.
Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces in front of him, Zhang Tianhai stood on the spot and said loudly: "Although our battalion has not directly entered the battle yet, I have received orders from the commander. From now on, our battalion will
Begin to enter the first level of combat readiness, and be ready to enter the battlefield at any time! Do you understand?"
"I understand!!!" the officers and soldiers of the first battalion responded in unison.
"Okay, disband!" After announcing the order, Zhang Tianhai simply and decisively announced the disbandment.
After the disbandment was announced, Zhang Tianhai started to look for food, which was a cup of soy milk and two white flour steamed buns - this was a very simple breakfast in later generations, but at this time, it seemed to be extremely rich. Well, soy milk is the most
The main reason.
Just as the regiment leader Hu Jiaji expected, the 216th Regiment received an order from the division headquarters half an hour later: the entire 216th Regiment set off, targeting Shajing Port, Hongkou!
Since the second battalion had already been deployed, there were only two battalions here, the first and third battalions, and they were assembled very quickly.
Rows of soldiers wearing Central Army uniforms and German-made M35 helmets quickly set off under the leadership of the front team.
Since the regiment leader Hu Jiaji was injured in many places, he could only be carried to the front line by the officers and soldiers below for command. Unfortunately, the hard-working Saburo regiment commander who usually fought bravely looked miserable no matter what.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!" Zhang Tianhai ran to the side of the team, urging the soldiers to move forward.
At this time, they were close to the area around Tongji University in Hongkou, where the fighting was the fiercest. Planes flew overhead with fierce roars.
Some of these aircraft were printed with plaster flag icons symbolizing Japanese aircraft, but others were printed with the blue sky and white sun badge symbolizing the Chinese Air Force. They were either fighting each other in the vast sky, or they were swooping and shooting at the ground.
From time to time, I saw a plane pouring black smoke and falling into the sea, or crashing on the ground and causing an explosion!
All in all, the fight in the blue sky was no worse than the fierce battle on the ground. On the contrary, it was even more tragic!
The sky is stained with blood!
As the core offensive target of the Ninth Army, the Hongkou District mobilized all the artillery of the Ninth Group, and even the air force, which existed like a treasure, finally made its appearance.
At this time, the Ninth Army was not as large as it was later. It only consisted of three divisions of the original National Guard - the 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division. These three divisions were
The elite divisions trained by German consultants have the highest military quality in the entire army.
Ordinarily, if such a force joins the battle, and the strength ratio is three to one, it should not take long to win.
It's a pity that this is not a plain encounter, but a damn battle!
By the time the officers and soldiers of the 216th Regiment arrived at the outer front of Shajing Port, it was already twenty minutes later.
Liu Ying, leader of the 215th Regiment, looked haggard at this time, and his face was covered with traces of gunpowder smoke.
Liu Ying is forty years old this year. He was born in the fourth infantry section of Huangpu. He is the older one among his classmates and the one who got promoted faster. This is when he serves as the commander of the 215th Regiment.
In the fourth year, it can be said that there have been countless tough battles, but this is the first time such a fierce battle has occurred.
This was the third day that the 215th Regiment entered the battle. As a unit that arrived in Shanghai one day earlier than the 216th Regiment, they naturally entered the battle one day earlier.
At this time, the 215th Regiment finally suffered more than half of its casualties and was about to be withdrawn to rest.
The light in Liu Ying's thin face flickered with anger, and his eyebrows that seemed to have the word "囧" written on them were slightly wrinkled at this moment - it had been a whole day and night, and they still had not broken through Wuzhou
Road and the Japanese defense line on Kunming Road.
Not everyone is as lucky as Hu Jiaji, who broke through several lines of defense of the Japanese army in one night.
