I guess so. None of the other crimes would lead to death.

Now the Songhu battlefield is a mess. The direct troops have suffered heavy casualties. The situation is unfavorable. Chiang Kai-shek is definitely not happy in his heart.

It is said that the ministers from nine countries were invited to a meeting and they were asked to mediate, but it didn't seem to be going well?

Maybe, at this very moment, Chiang Kai-shek was feeling angry in his heart.

At this time, one or two people must be arrested to scare the monkeys.

This Chen Qingfu happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

Turn around and look at the elephant wall.

"Do you know Chen Qingfu? Commander of the 77th Division."

"I know this person, but I'm not familiar with him. Reports say that the 77th Division has been fighting in the Hezaobang area."

"Haizaobang?"

Zhang Yong was deeply impressed by this name.

Because when I was reading a book before, I found that out of the three words, I couldn’t pronounce two of them.

I knew how to pronounce the word "zao" in the middle. So after going back and forth, I actually remembered it. This place was also the meat grinder of the Songhu Battle. It was the same as Luodian.

Rozaobang is actually a river that leads from Wusongkou all the way inland.

Normally, it would be a quiet little river.

Occasionally, fishing boats and small transport ships pass by.

There are girls and young women washing clothes by the river.

There are children playing in the water.

There are white cranes swimming on the water.

However, now, during the war, it has become a key target for the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders tried to control the river and separated the national troops on both sides of the river and annihilated them one by one. At the same time, the river was also conducive to the Japanese invaders' logistics transportation.

Although it is a small river, the Japanese invaders' Minekaze-class destroyers can enter.

This kind of destroyer has a displacement of only 1,200 tons and a very shallow draft. It can go deep inland along the Zozaobang and use its naval guns to provide artillery support to the Japanese Army Red Deer.

For the national army, guarding Zhaizao Bang is also a very important task.

Once the Japanese invaders break through, the Songhu battlefield will be divided into two parts.

Then the situation will be even worse.

Therefore, the national army concentrated more than a dozen divisions on both sides of the river.

The Japanese invaders also concentrated a lot of troops. The 13th, 101st, and 118th Divisions transferred from North China, as well as the Chongteng Detachment transferred from Taiwan, are all here.

There seem to be two independent infantry brigades. They are both made of pure sticks. They are as ferocious as the Japanese invaders.

"Give me the map."

"yes."

Someone will send a map soon.

Zhang Yong unfolded and had a general understanding of his own troop deployment.

The area north of Haizaobang, including Luodian, Yuepu, Baoshan and other places, belongs to the Left Wing Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 15th and 19th Army Groups.

The commander is Chen Cheng.

South of Hazaobang and north of Suzhou River. It belongs to the Central Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 9th Army and so on.

The commander is Zhu Shaoliang.

South of the Suzhou River, all the way to Hangzhou Bay. It belongs to the Right Wing Corps. It has jurisdiction over the 8th and 10th Army Groups, etc.

The commander is Zhang Fakui.

However, deployment is deployment, and the reality is messy.

The Supreme Headquarters is no longer able to effectively divide the defense zones of the division-level troops below. Hit wherever you go.

It also contains Chiang Kai-shek's own selfish motives.

So it appeared that Zhang Yong was obviously fighting on the Luodian side, but his affiliation was with the Central Corps.

It is estimated that Chiang Kai-shek knew that Zhang Yong and Chen Cheng could not deal with him, so he assigned him to Zhu Shaoliang.

Zhu Shaoliang knew it well and would never question Zhang Yong.

In other words, right now, Zhang Yong is actually independent at all.

He only accepted orders from the Supreme Command, which was personally commanded by Chiang Kai-shek. Other commanders of the corps consciously ignored Zhang Yong.

There is a Central Teaching Corps in Zhang Fakui's combat area in the south. However, they also do not listen to Zhang Fakui. Instead, they are subordinate to Chen Cheng.

The same goes for the tax police corps. The commander of the corps is probably unable to command either.

A characteristic of Chiang Kai-shek. It was done on purpose.

No one can monopolize power, just in case someone wants to wear a yellow robe when the weather is cold.

He was clearly in Luodian, but he had to go to Zhu Shaoliang's headquarters and travel across mountains and rivers to execute a division commander.

joke……

Couldn't Zhu Shaoliang execute him himself?

Corps commander, group army commander, corps commander, division commander...

There are several levels in between.

The commander of your corps cannot execute a division commander?

Then why are you the commander of the corps? Go home!

It doesn't matter whether you plant sweet potatoes or corn. Anyway, you don't have to come back to the battlefield. It's embarrassing.

Shake his head.

Take your mind back.

Lead the team and set off.

The orders of the Supreme Command must be followed.

Zhang Yong himself also wanted to see what was going on. Why was a division commander executed? What was the serious crime?

For your own safety, it is necessary to bring a battalion with you.

Just then, the 112th Division of the New Force was ready to join the battlefield. So an infantry battalion was dispatched to follow Zhang Yong.

All the way south.

I met an acquaintance on the north bank of Hazao Bang.

who?

Zhou Yang turned out to be Commander Qian's adjutant and major.

However, when Zhang Yong saw him again, he was already a lieutenant colonel. And he was already a regiment leader.

The troops he leads are affiliated to the Shanghai Security Corps. They are actually the establishment of a brigade in the regular army.

Now that the war has officially begun, there is no need for the security team to pretend.

"What's going on at Wusongkou Pier?" Zhang Yong asked, "Where did Yuan Zheng and the others retreat to?"

"Yuan Zheng and the others have been killed." Zhou Yang replied regretfully, "The Japanese artillery fire covered the entire dock. Everyone inside the dock was killed."

"Uh..." Zhang Yong's heart sank. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the worst outcome.

"Luo Yiming, Liu Bo was also killed."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong was silent.

Knowing that there were heavy casualties in the Songhu Battle, I was mentally prepared.

However, when I learned that someone I knew had died silently in battle and disappeared forever, I still felt sad inside.

Luo Yiming is Zhou Yang's brother-in-law. He doesn't have much contact with him.

Liu Bo was the adjutant of Deputy Commander Yang. Unexpectedly, he was also killed. This shows how brutal the battle was.

Angry?

Of course. Sad. Angry.

But it's useless. The brutal war has just begun.

In the future, more people will die in battle, including Zhou Yang in front of him, or other people he knows.

"I'm going to the Corps Headquarters, please help me report."
