Speaking of which, Zhang Xinghan brought Luo Tianyou and others into the camp. Du Qianxue, who had not seen him for a few days, was naturally very happy to see Zhang Xinghan. However, in front of everyone, Du Qianxue stood up at the right time and saluted Zhang Xinghan.

"Second Lieutenant Du, oh, no, it should be Lieutenant Du, there is no need to be too polite!" Zhang Xinghan teased with a smile.

When Du Qianxue heard this, her cheeks turned red. She glanced at Zhang Xinghan coquettishly, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Zhang Xinghan smiled and watched Du Qianxue leave, turned around and ordered Li Dashan: "Dashan, you should inform Desheng, Wenhu and others immediately to come to the camp headquarters and have a meeting!"

"Yes! Camp!" Li Dashan felt something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking, and said, "It's a group leader! Hey!" He then turned around and took the order happily.

"Group, what should we do next?" Luo Tianyou asked from the side after Li Dashan left.

"We have promised that we will never retreat to the rear without permission to avoid war and live a life of silence. A real man will do his words and do what he does, and spit out a nail. All of our group are men of paramount status, and there is no coward who is willing to retreat. I think when the subsequent replenishment personnel and materials arrive, the whole group will immediately go to the front line." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.

"Well! I agree, now that the Japanese army continues to increase its troops, the situation in the Battle of Shanghai continues to deteriorate, and the situation of the war is becoming more and more unfavorable to our army. At this time, we should go to the front line rather than retreat." Luo Tianyou nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Li Dashan had already entered with Zhao Desheng, Wu Wenhu and others. When they saw Zhang Xinghan, everyone immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Zhang Zu, why are you back? Are you injured?" Wu Wenhu couldn't help asking with concern when he saw that Zhang Xinghan was still wrapped in gauze on his shoulder.

"I'm fine, this injury is not serious." Zhang Xinghan said lightly.

"Battleman Commander Wu, from now on, you should call him the group seat." Luo Tianyou, who was standing beside him, said to Wu Wenhu with a smile.

"Battleman Commander Wu? Regiment?" Wu Wenhu, Zhao Desheng and others were surprised for a while, and Zhao Desheng asked even hurriedly: "What's going on?"

"That's right. The Chairman personally ordered the Zhongrui Battalion to be expanded into the Zhongrui regiment, and all the officers of the battalion were promoted to the first level. You are now the Lieutenant Colonel Battalion Commander." Zhang Xinghan said as he took out the telegram sent by Chairman Jiang from his pocket and handed it to several people.

Zhao Desheng and Wu Wenhu took the telegram and read it one by one. Then Wu Wenhu slapped Li Dashan next to him: "Okay, you crazy Li, you have known this long ago, right? You didn't even tell me that I really have you!"

"Hehe! Isn't this a surprise for you?" Li Dashan scratched his head and smiled silly.

"Okay, let me announce the specific organization of my Zhongrui Regiment and the military chiefs at all levels. In accordance with the order issued by the Military Commission, our regiment temporarily sets up three infantry battalions, one machine gun company, one communications company, one engineer company and the guard company directly under the regiment headquarters.

The position of Chief of Staff is Zhou Wei. Since Zhou Wei is still recuperating in the hospital, Deputy Commander Luo is temporarily appointed, First Battalion Commander Zhao Desheng is appointed, Second Battalion Commander Wu Wenhu, Third Battalion Commander Sun Siwei is appointed, and Machine Gun Company Commander Yan Tao is appointed. Since the two have not yet returned to the team, the third company commander and Li Dashan are temporarily appointed. In addition, the former regiment headquarters' guard platoon has been expanded to the guard company, and the guard company commander is also appointed by Li Dashan."

After saying that, Zhang Xinghan looked at everyone and continued: "Given that the casualties in each company were severe in the previous stage, it will take some time for the subsequent replenishment personnel and materials to arrive. Our department temporarily stationed here, waiting for the subsequent replenishment personnel and materials. Once the personnel and materials arrive, they will be reorganized as quickly as possible, and then head to the front line. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Everyone responded in unison.

"There is another issue, which is the issue of military discipline. No one is allowed to harass and bully the people during the stationing period, and no one is allowed to steal every needle or thread from the masses. Those who violate the order will be severely punished and not loaned! Do you understand?" Zhang Xinghan said slightly.

"I understand!" Everyone immediately responded in unison.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After the meeting, Zhang Xinghan immediately dismissed everyone. After the battle for several days, he had not spoken to Du Qianxue well for a long time. Zhang Xinghan felt very guilty about this woman he loved.

So take advantage of this rare free time and spend more time with her, you can spend more time with her. After all, it is a war era and maybe I will be glorious that day.

After everyone left, Zhang Xinghan went straight out of the camp. He didn't walk far away and saw Du Qianxue walking in front with his hands on his back, as if he had something to worry about.

Zhang Xinghan walked over quickly and called out softly: "Qianxue!"

"Hmm!" Du Qianxue turned around suddenly and saw that it was Zhang Xinghan, an uncontrollable joy appeared in her eyes.

"Is there anything wrong with the group?"

"It's okay." Zhang Xinghan looked around and then said, "Let's go together?"

"Yes." Du Qianxue nodded slightly and responded.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

While the Zhongrui Regiment was temporarily stationed in Jiaxing, the Battle of Songhu also entered the most intense and arduous stage. Japanese commander Matsui Ishieno concentrated the powerful forces of three divisions to carry out a central breakthrough under the cover of the navy and air force, and attacked the National Army's Dachang and the Jiangwan defense line.

The soldiers of the National Army fought to the death, but eventually suffered heavy losses due to backward weapons and equipment due to the Japanese army's joint firepower attack on the sea, land and air.

At the same time, the Japanese army further attacked the Luodian line defended by the left wing corps of the two divisions, and the heavy artillery troops launched an attack on the Luodian line defended by the left wing corps of the National Army. The 66th Army, who defended Luodian, resisted desperately under the leadership of General Ye Zhao, the commander of the 159th Division and the 160th Division. Nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers of the 160th Division were guarding Luodian for twelve hours at the cost of their deaths.

The fierce battle was until the early morning of September 24. In the end, the 66th Army was retreated to the pre-set positions on the first and second lines of Miaoxing Town due to heavy casualties. They stood firm and resisted on the spot with the 18th Army. Luodian fell into the hands of the Japanese again.

However, the Japanese army was unable to continue to break through the defense line of the left-wing corps due to excessive losses, and the battle situation was stalemate in Miaoxing Town.

The center of gravity of the battlefield gradually shifted to the area around the Qingzaobang and Jiangwan defended by the Central Corps. The various units of the Central Corps fought bloody battles and fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders until early October. The combat troops of the National Army, the 8th Division, the 59th Division, the 61st Division, the 67th Division, the 77th Division, the 90th Division and the Tax Police General Regiment were finally unable to confront the Japanese army again due to heavy casualties and were ordered to withdraw from their positions one after another.

Just when the battle was at stake, the tenth division of the 21st Army of the Guangxi Army, who had rushed from Guangxi to participate in the war, finally arrived at the battlefield of Songhu. The officers and soldiers of the 21st Army who arrived at the battlefield were immediately ordered to join the battle.

In order to ensure the defense line, the brave Guangxi soldiers organized 10,000 suicide squads to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese army. However, due to the first arrival of the 21st Army and lack of understanding and combat experience of the Japanese army, nearly 20,000 troops were all broken up after only one day of fighting, and most of the tens of thousands of suicide squads died in battle, and the war was extremely tragic.

The entire battlefield was full of corpses and blood flowed into a river. In just one day, six brigade commanders were killed in the 21st Army, and officers below the regiment level suffered uncountable losses.

However, the sacrifice of the 21st Army was not worthless. With the addition of the 21st Army, the troops of the National Army took turns to resist. Once one regiment was exhausted, another regiment would be added immediately. They fought desperately with the Japanese invaders, resisting the Japanese army's steel shells and rain of bullets with flesh and blood, and finally blocking the Japanese army on the north bank of the Cyazabam again.

…………………………………

The Battle of Songhu continued to go on fiercely, and the Zhongrui Regiment finally waited for the Military Commission to allocate supplementary materials and personnel equipment. The personnel and equipment of the Zhongrui Regiment were supplemented according to the standards of the A-type regiment. After the supplementary, the total strength of the Zhongrui Regiment reached more than 2,000 people.

On average, each infantry battalion has more than 500 people, with three infantry companies under its jurisdiction, one guard platoon, one communication platoon and one machine gun platoon.

The troops directly under the regiment headquarters: Guard Company, Communication Company, Reconnaissance Company, Packet Company and Health Team. The standard equipment of the A-type battalion was three infantry companies and one machine gun company, but due to the shortage of equipment and materials, the Zhongrui Regiment could only be equipped with one machine gun platoon per battalion. This is because the Zhongrui Regiment was personally appointed by Chairman Jiang. Otherwise, it is hard to say how much equipment and materials the Zhongrui Regiment could receive.

To be precise, the Zhongrui regiment at this time is an elite B regiment in terms of force and equipment, which is already very superior to other local troops.

In the Zhongrui Regiment, Zhang Xinghan had already put on a brand new colonel uniform. Standing at the top of the conference table of the regiment headquarters, his eyes swept over the several subordinates present one by one. They all changed into new military uniforms, each of whom was promoted to one level, and each seemed full of energy.

"The regiment seat, all battalions are ready, please give me instructions!" At this time, Deputy regiment commander Luo Tianyou walked in quickly and stood upright.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to Du Qianxue on the side and said, "Lieutenant Du, immediately generate electricity for the chief of the Third War Zone and volunteer to fight to the chief of the chief!"

"Yes!" Du Qianxue, who was already the lieutenant and company commander of the communications company directly under the regiment headquarters, stepped forward happily, and then turned around and walked towards the radio station.
Chapter completed!
