Zhang Zhizhong was not sure, and Yang Hu did not dare to disobey. Several regiment commanders and battalion commanders had to disperse themselves.

As a participant in that incident, Zhu Xia knew very well that Xu Shijiu's feelings towards Zhang Zhizhong were very negative, so he came out to comfort Xu Shijiu for a few words, and sent his car to send him back to the station.

As soon as he entered the gate, Xu Shijiu noticed something abnormal. He saw two trucks parked on the playground, and a squad of the Central Army guarded both sides of the truck. It was the Central Army wearing a steel helmet on his head, a light gray khaki uniform, a rubber-soled black cloth shoes on his feet, a German flower machine on his chest, and eight grenades fell on his waist!

As soon as the car stopped, Scar, one-eyed dragon came up like a swarm of rushing.

Looking at the three scars who were so excited that they scratched their heads, Xu Shijiu asked with a smile: "Who did you send the arms?"

"What's wrong?" said one hand excitedly, "Six Maxim heavy machine guns, eighteen Czech light machine guns, two hundred Hanyang-made, ten base ammunition, fifty boxes of grenades! The captain, who is worthy of being the Central Army, is a generous move. Now the Shanghai Security Corps is the hardest guy in our 19th brigade."

"It's okay." Xu Shijiu nodded and said lightly, "It's a little more than I expected."

While speaking, the captain officer led by the Central Army came forward and saluted Xu Shijiu, saying loudly: "Du Denggao, the Military Supply Department of the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to escort the arms to the garrison of the 19th Independent Brigade of the Shanghai Security Corporation. He has arrived safely now. Please accept it by the commander!" As he said that, he handed over the documents.

Xu Shijiu did not check and signed the receipt directly. The captain and officer collected the receipt and then removed the guards. He asked someone to open the carriage. With a wave of Scar there, dozens of regiments rushed forward and moved all the wooden boxes, large and small, long and short, inside the carriage, and they were placing them into a pile on the playground.

Captain Du pointed to the wooden boxes arranged in a pile and asked Xu Shijiu: "Sir, don't you open it and check it?"

"No need." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "Captain Du, please give me a seat, a deputy seat, and a seat to attend the seat. He said that I, Xu Shijiu, miss them very much, and will definitely go to Zhenru to pay homage to them if I have time."

"Mr. I will definitely bring you my greetings, please say goodbye." Captain Du gave Xu Shijiu another military salute, then turned to the co-pilot of one of the trucks, and a squad of the Central Army also quickly got on the bus. After a moment, the two trucks drove away from the 19th Brigade's base with rolling smoke and dust.

Xu Shijiu turned around and ordered: "Lao Dao, distribute weapons and ammunition, Lao Du, Aaron, come with me, I have a very bad premonition. The Japanese army will definitely strengthen the vigilance of the concession next, so our plan must be adjusted, otherwise we will not be able to send a whole vehicle of explosives into the Japanese concession."

As soon as Xu Shijiu left, the No.10 veteran who had already been ready to move rushed up.

A veteran took the bayonet and couldn't wait to pry open the box, but saw that it was filled with yellow bullets and canvas straps. He then pried open the other one, but it contained heavy machine gun parts. Although the color looked only 60% new, it was filled with engine oil, so there was no rust.

As the wooden box opened, the veterans cheered.

A veteran picked up Maxim, and without even wiping off the engine oil, he grabbed the parts and assembled them skillfully. While installing, he muttered, "The 88th Division is quite conscientious this time. If you know we are short of a guy, you will send us a hard guy, and you didn't use the scrapped bad guy to fool us. Well, it's pretty good."

A new recruit came up and said to the veteran with a saliva, "Brother Gouzi, let me hug you."

The veteran slapped the recruit's hand and cursed: "You recruit, go there."

The recruit took his hand awkwardly and said, "Brother Gouzi, why did the 88th Division send us arms?"

"Why?" The veteran had already assembled a heavy machine gun while speaking, and said while pulling the bolt, "Because they did something wrong, they treated us nineteenth..." At this point, the veteran's words suddenly stopped, and a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he had evoked some unpleasant memories.

The recruits were unaware of the situation and asked again, "What are they doing wrong?"

The veteran suddenly turned his face and slapped the recruit on the forehead, cursing: "You recruit, you are a damn thing, what are you doing to ask about this?!"

#############

Sun Yuanliang, who was far away from the 88th Division of Zhenru, suddenly sneezes several times, and then said to Feng Shengfa and Zhang Boting who were walking in together: "It must be that the Jiufen Cat received the arms, but he arranged me behind his back."

Feng Shengfa and Zhang Boting looked at each other in surprise and smiled and said, "Do you know, Master?"

"Can the Military Control Commission not report me to such a large number of arms?" Sun Yuanliang stared at Feng and Zhang with a serious expression, but he couldn't hold his face immediately and smiled, "I added four more imitation Czech Republic and fifty boxes of grenades."

Feng Shengfa and Zhang Boting looked at each other and smiled, and they should have expressed their opinions to Xu Shijiu and Sun Yuanliang.

"Let's talk about that little brat for now." Sun Yuanliang waved his hand and changed the topic, "That's right, it's like there's no cover here. When the Japanese plane comes, there's no way to find the land, so I want to move the command center into the concession, and set up a left-behind place here. Brother Saint Phra or Brother Bai Ting, you can leave one, and contact both sides by phone, how about it?"

Feng Shengfa smiled and said, "The command center is the center of my 88th Division, and it is not allowed to be misunderstood. It is right for the master to think about it like this. Then let me stay. Brother Baiting will join the French Concession with the master to enter the French Concession."

Zhang Boting wanted to object, but Sun Yuanliang said directly: "Okay, that's it."

After saying that, Zhang Yuanliang turned around and left, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, at around 4 pm, Zhang Wenbai (Zhang Zhizhong)'s command center will arrive in Nanxiang. Brother Saint Phra, go to welcome him on my behalf. If Zhang Wenbai asks, I will say that Bai Ting and I will go to the Japanese concession to spy on the information."

Feng Shengfa smiled and saluted with his legs, and replied: "Yes, Bei Zhi will definitely bring the words."

In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Yuanliang moved his division command to Guanyin Hall in the public concession, and moved to Fuxin Flour Factory a few days later. After that, he changed several locations in succession and finally moved to the Sihang Warehouse until the 88th Division evacuated Shanghai. Sun Yuanliang was known for his good at saving his life, and the nickname of Flying General was really not in vain.

Let’s talk about Feng Shengfa. When he arrived in Nanxiang, Zhang Zhizhong had already arrived in advance.

Zhang Zhizhong indeed asked Sun Yuanliang. Feng Shengfa said according to Sun Yuanliang's instructions. Zhang Zhizhong naturally didn't believe it, and could roughly guess where Sun Yuanliang was. However, he could do nothing about it. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Sun Yuanliang, he was Chairman Jiang's confidant general, so he could not replace it just because he wanted to.

Zhang Zhizhong selected his Beijing-Shanghai Security Command in Guyi Garden. He was busy until late at night before the departments could figure it out. Just as Zhang Zhizhong was about to rest, the phone call from Nanjing came over.

Today, Chairman Jiang convened his staff to hold a one-day meeting. Deputy Chief of General Staff Bai Chongxi and Deputy Chief of Military Affairs Chen Cheng persuaded him, and until late at night, Chiang finally made up his mind to fight!

Zhang Zhizhong picked up the phone and before he could speak, Chairman Jiang's roar with a strong Ningbo accent came from the other end of the phone: "Wen Bai, drive the Japanese troops in Shanghai off the Huangpu River!"

When Zhang Zhizhong put down the phone, it was already early the next morning, which was August 11th.

Chairman Jiang called and the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command suddenly became busy and was in chaos.

Zhang Zhizhong found Chief of Staff Tong Yuanliang to inquire about the specific locations of the 87th Division, 88th Division, 36th Division, the 20th Independent Brigade and the two independent artillery regiments. As a result, Tong Yuanliang was in trouble because the departments under the Beijing-Shanghai Security Zone were only launched yesterday. Except for the 87th Division, the 88th Division had already set up a command center in Yejia Garden in Jiangwan. Zhenru, and the other units could not contact any of them.

Zhang Zhizhong called Nanjing again and asked Chairman Jiang for instructions to postpone the attack until dawn on the 12th. Jiang agreed, and Zhang Zhizhong asked Tong Yuanliang to issue combat orders to all combat units that could be contacted, including the 87th Division, 88th Division, Shanghai Security Corps, Shanghai Police Corps, Jiangsu Security Corps and other combat units.

History is a joke with China here.

From a historical perspective, objectively and fairly speaking, Chiang Kai-shek's determination was quite timely. If Zhang Zhizhong could order each unit to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Shanghai without hesitation after receiving Chiang's call, the direction of the Battle of Shanghai would change, and at least the results of the first stage would be completely different.

Because at this time, the top Japanese government officials had not reached an agreement on how to deal with the Hongqiao Airport incident, the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai did not know that the Japanese government would finally choose to give up Shanghai or go to war with China in Shanghai. In order not to stimulate the national army and further expand and complicated the situation, the Japanese army was even forced to lower the alert level of the Japanese concession.

This is the direct reason why Xu Shijiu can openly wear a gun and move in the Japanese concession.

The Japanese government will not make a formal decision until the cabinet meeting ends on the 13th that it will formally make a decision to send an army to Shanghai to condemn two and a half divisions. The Marines transferred by Hasegawa Kiyoshi will not arrive in Shanghai on the evening of the 11th. In other words, there is at least a 20-hour time difference between them.

At this time, the Japanese army in Shanghai had less than 3,000 Marines, plus an armed merchant regiment of less than 2,000 people.

If Zhang Zhizhong could order an attack as soon as possible, the first wave of offensives of the Shanghai Security Corps and the Shanghai Police Corps could basically clear out the seventy or eighty Japanese strongholds on the periphery, the 87th Division, the 88th Division and the 20th Independent Brigade would basically be divided and surrounded by the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai within several main strongholds.

Once the Japanese army in Shanghai is divided and surrounded, the battle situation will be completely included in the control of the national army, because the national army not only has an absolute advantage in military strength, but also in equipment. Even if Hasegawa Kiyoshi's main force of the 3rd Fleet and three Marines arrived, it is probably difficult to turn the battle situation around, because the Chinese Air Force is not a decoration.

Just because of the three Marines that Hasegawa Kiyoshi urgently transferred from him, under the suppression of the Chinese Air Force and the National Army artillery, not to mention going ashore from Huishan Wharf, I was afraid that it would not be easy to land on the front line of Wusong and Baoshan. Even if I successfully landed on the beach by chance, I was afraid that I would not have enough energy to support the Japanese army divided and surrounded in the city.

But history has no assumptions, these can only be empty talk.
