"Hehe, of course you are the battalion commander." Wei He smiled honestly.

"That's all, what's wrong with me? Be careful I'll cut you." Zhang Tianhai glared at his eyes, then turned his head and continued to walk forward.

Wei He has been following Battalion Commander Zhang for almost two days. He probably knows the temper of this new battalion commander, so he naturally knows that he is joking.

When we arrived at the 212th Regiment's station, the gunshots had gradually amplified. Judging from the frequency of the gunshots, the 212th Regiment had a very difficult fight.

Why is it difficult? The reason is that there is still fierce fighting ahead. When we arrived in Shanghai, we have been fighting for four days. There were already great casualties and the fight was so fierce. How can we not struggle?

Along the way, Zhang Tianhai met many students who came to support him and said he had to go to the front line to fight with them.

Zhang Tianhai was also very helpless about this and could only stop and say that he belonged to the 216th Regiment. If he wanted to join the army, he would go to the 212th Regiment because this was the defense area of ​​the 212th Regiment.

Wei He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he said the battalion commander: This battalion commander is really bad enough, he is so terrible. He thought it was troublesome, and he actually caused trouble to the east.

Indeed, Zhang Tianhai was so annoyed that he couldn't get out of it. If he walked back, maybe the students would follow him to the camp headquarters, and the problem would be great at that time.

You should know that there is an unwritten rule within the National Army, especially the Central Army, that is, no matter how hard or tired the war is, students cannot be allowed to attend, because students are the future of the country!

You should know that the students at that time were not comparable to those of today. At that time, schools were only able to afford to read by a few people in society. Among the students, except for a few rich children who rely on their family backgrounds to make ends meet in higher education institutions, most of them were poor children who had a sincere heart to serve the country.

Those who are poor families can go to high school or above rely on their abilities. If they can get into college, they are elites among the elites.

If you don’t believe it, look at the people in the national army. For example, Hu Zongnan, the later “Northwest King”, was a teacher before joining the army in Huangpu and graduated from Wuxing Middle School; for example, Zhang Lingfu, the "Imperial Army Commander" of Chiang Kai-shek, was later admitted to the History Department of Peking University before being admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy. He was unable to continue studying due to family background.

In addition to the most typical examples among these two national troops, there are Hu Lian, Sun Liren, Song Xilian, etc., who are all cultural people from students.

These students are responsible for the future of the entire nation. Some of them join the army, either in politics, or in technical work, and there are many.

It is precisely because of such an unwritten rule in the national army that Zhang Tianhai has such a headache: he does not want to crack down on the patriotism of these students, but he cannot break the rules, so he can only make this bad decision - to give the Xiong Captain of the 212th Regiment a headache.

As for violating this rule, Zhang Tianhai would not be severely punished. Song Xilian at most just took his position as battalion commander, and he would be sent to the front line to be an ordinary soldier.

I felt chilling when I thought about this result. I finally became a battalion commander and thought about how to command the command to go down to fight. I was beaten up just because of such a confused thing? That was absolutely not worth it.

"Then... Sir, do you know where the 212th Regiment Headquarters are?" A male college student asked in the team, his words full of respect. It seemed that he should be a student from Fudan University.

"Well... this is simple, wait a moment." Zhang Tianhai gently touched his chin that had just grown out of stubble.

After saying that, Zhang Tianhai turned around and called a soldier passing by and patrol: "Who? Come here."

After seeing Zhang Tianhai's gesture, the soldier immediately ran over and stood attentively saluted: "Hello, sir! Are you calling me?"

Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Take these students to find your group leader! Don't make any problems with these people, otherwise your group leader will have to cut you down."

The soldier glanced at the written card written on Zhang Tianhai’s chest and said, “Sir, you are not from our 212th Regiment, are you?”

"Yes, I'm not from the 212th Regiment. I'm the 1st Battalion Commander of the 216th Regiment of the 108th Brigade. Your regiment commander Xiong Xinmin is my old superior. It's right to take it over. I can guarantee it." Zhang Tianhai waved his hand, looking helpless. He was just planning to trick Xiong Xinmin, the old superior. Unexpectedly, this soldier was quite eye-catching, so he could only report to his own house.

"Yes, sir. I can take people there, but you have to go with me, otherwise our squad will ask about the responsibility, and I will not dare to find you." The soldier said seriously.

Zhang Tianhai was not that stingy person. He came here to see the battle situation of the 212th Regiment and see if there was any need to be ready to support him at any time, so he generously agreed: "Okay, no problem."

The group left as soon as they said they could, and came to the headquarters of the 212th Regiment.

However, this group of students could only wait outside, while Zhang Tianhai and his guard Wei He entered the regiment headquarters.

When he entered the regiment headquarters, he saw Xiong Xinmin surrounded by several combat staff members, standing next to a map with Shanghai written on it and frowned.

The soldier brought by Zhang Tianhai and others stood attentively and saluted: "Reporting to the regiment seat, the first battalion commander of the 216th Regiment said he was here to find you, so I brought him here."

"Oh? The 1st Battalion Commander of the 216th Regiment?" When mentioning this position, Xiong Xinmin first thought of himself, and then he thought of Zhang Tianhai.

After all, he has been in the position of the 1st Battalion Commander of the 216th Regiment for a long time, and he always has a trace of conditioned reflex.

Looking back, it was Zhang Tianhai.

Before Xiong Xinmin could speak, Zhang Tianhai grinned and said, "Report to battalion commander, Zhang Tianhai, the acting company commander of the Second Company, come and report!"

"Hey, you're really a kid. Not bad. After becoming the battalion commander, I feel so much more capable." Xiong Xinmin took a few steps forward, patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder, and smiled.

Somehow, looking at the smile on Captain Xiong's face, Zhang Tianhai always felt a change of power: he was still the deputy company commander of the Second Company a few days ago, and he transformed into the battalion commander; Xiong Xinmin was still the first battalion commander of the 216th Regiment a few days ago, and now he is the commander of the 212th Regiment.

"Battery Commander, if you haven't seen each other for two days, you have lost weight and become haggard." Zhang Tianhai's words came from the bottom of his heart and there was no suspicion of flattery.

"Tell me, you come to my regiment headquarters this time, I guess there must be something wrong? Time is urgent now and the battlefield situation is changing. Let me tell you a long story!" After saying that, Xiong Xinmin said to the soldiers next to Zhang Tianhai: "You go down!"

"Yes!" The soldier stood attentively and saluted, then turned and left.

"Battery Commander, I'm not to hide it. The position of our first battalion is next to your regiment. This time, the low-ranking official came here just to see the situation of the battle." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.
