Qin Chuan's words made Zhang Boting slightly stunned, and then Zhang Boting said with a wry smile.

"Captain Qin, your suggestion is very correct. We have just realized this problem. These are the responsibilities of me as the chief of staff. My thinking is still in the civil war period. I believe that the command organization only needs to stay in the rear unless the enemy comes over. Otherwise,

It will be very safe. This kind of thinking is completely wrong. When fighting the Japanese in a coastal city like Shanghai, the enemy's naval guns can hit more than 20 miles away without entering. There are also Japanese aircraft. As long as we

When fighting in Shanghai, no place is absolutely safe."

Zhang Boting then said with great emotion, "I never expected that the people in Shanghai would be so enthusiastic about the Anti-Japanese War that they would rush to donate labor supplies to our participating troops, not only grain, rice, meat, eggs and canned meat, but also the supplies needed by the officers and soldiers.

Daily necessities have been delivered to us, and now the cigarettes we have received are enough for each of the officers and soldiers of the 88th Division. This situation is unprecedented since I joined the army."

In fact, this kind of competition for labor occurred during the "128" Anti-Japanese War, but Zhang Boting was probably not in the army at that time. Sun Yuanliang had led his troops to fight the Japanese army in Shanghai a few years ago, and that was

In this battle, Sun Yuanliang fought quite well.

Qin Chuan comforted Zhang Boting and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang, you are not to blame for this. Your Commander Sun participated in the 128th Anti-Japanese War. He should be very aware of these situations."

Although Qin Chuan did not clearly say that Sun Yuanliang should bear the responsibility, Zhang Boting, the communications staff who followed him back, and Shen Shuyi could all hear that Zhang Boting said hurriedly.

"Since Commander Sun arranged the troops to launch the attack in the early morning, he has been constantly going to each unit to check the battle situation. When he came back at noon, he discovered this problem. Commander Sun and Brigadier Zhong of the 20th Independent Brigade who came to report completed the study.

After the combat deployment, I have personally led people to find the new location of the division headquarters. The order has just been sent back. The new location of the 88th Division headquarters is to be located at the Fuxin Flour Mill by the Suzhou River. Our 88th Division headquarters is very soon.

He will leave soon, leaving only a liaison office here."

Hearing that the headquarters of the Eighty-eighth Division was about to be transferred, Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his memory, during the Battle of Songhu, the Eighty-eighth Division was accurately bombarded by the Japanese army. Although the division commander Sun Yuan

Liang must be fine, but Qin Chuan is not very clear about the other personnel of the Eighty-Eighth Division. It is said that that time, the main hall of Guanyin Hall, which was more than ten meters away from the wing where he was now, was completely blown up.

The explosion power of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns is absolutely terrifying. If the Japanese army bombards the Eighty-Eighth Division Headquarters now, even if only one 250mm naval gun shell explodes in the main hall, where he is

This wing will collapse. If there are a few more artillery shells, not to mention the personnel of the 88th Division, but also he, Zhang Boting and all the people in the division headquarters will die without a burial place.

As expected, Sun Yuanliang has a keen sense of smell on the battlefield and will respond immediately once he detects danger.

Thinking of Sun Yuanliang, Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly sigh. This man was not only brave personally, but at the critical moment during the Northern Expedition, Sun Yuanliang, already the leader of the regiment, dared to lead more than 20 people in a few dozen square meters of dirt fence.

He withstood the attack of hundreds of Sun Chuanfang's troops, and his combat command ability was even better. He can be said to be outstanding among senior KMT generals.

The only thing that makes people sigh is that this person was too concerned about protecting himself when he knew he couldn't do anything. Not only was the Northern Expedition a retreat, he was also criticized for being "separated" from the same troops and escaping from Jinling alone during the retreat of the Jinling Defense Battle.

, in the subsequent Battle of Huaihai, many senior generals were captured or killed.

Under such circumstances, he was able to escape from the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops, and even when his troops had revolted, he was able to easily board a plane and fly to Taiwan, and soon he retreated bravely, resigned from the military and went into business. All of this

, it all shows that this person has a very keen sense of smell on the battlefield and in officialdom.

Qin Chuan believes that it is precisely because of this that this man died peacefully at the age of 103. He was also the longest living person in Huangpu, and his son was so impressive that he turned out to be a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Big star.

Time was running out, and he didn't know what important tasks were assigned to him. Qin Chuan did not dare to think about it anymore, and hurriedly said, "There is another problem. I found that our troops' charge formations were generally too dense, and we suffered a lot of casualties in the Japanese artillery attacks. I

I have a suggestion. When fighting the Japanese army in the future, the formations of each unit should be as loose as possible. I don’t know the specific tactics very well. You still need to think about these carefully."

Qin Chuan's words made Zhang Boting's face become solemn again. He nodded and said, "You are right. The news from the front is that under the fierce Japanese artillery fire, our attack formation is too dense. When the Japanese artillery comes down, we will often suffer casualties."

Five or six people, I will compile these suggestions of yours and report them as soon as possible so that our entire army can take them as a warning, including the confidentiality measures of the command organization."

Zhang Boting stopped talking and said to Qin Chuan, "Now we have to give you the task of the Rangers."

"Our air force is doing very well and has fought several battles with Japanese aircraft. According to the news from above, we have shot down more than 20 Japanese aircraft of the Kisarazu Air Wing and Kanoya Air Wing, and also bombed

The battle was extremely fruitful."

"It's just that our aircraft are also damaged. Although compared with the results we have achieved, our losses are very small, but our air force has few aircraft and pilots are even more scarce. An hour ago, one of our aircraft numbered 2503

The Hawker III aircraft was injured by ground artillery fire when it bombed the Japanese artillery position. It had made an emergency landing in the Japanese-controlled area. The landing area was visually inspected by the public and should be located near the Yinxiang Racecourse in the northeast of Yangpu."

"News came from the headquarters of the Ninth Group Army. This aircraft also has the name Ningbo. It was donated by Ningbo Vocational College on the birthday of Commissar Chang Chang. The pilot flying the aircraft is Second Lieutenant Zhang Mufei. The division headquarters has sent a

Ban went to try to pick up Second Lieutenant Zhang. In order to ensure that Second Lieutenant Zhang was picked up smoothly, General Zhang personally called and asked to send your special forces who are familiar with the terrain in Shanghai to pick up the pilot. The truck is ready. Do you have any questions?

?"

Aircraft are very precious. Historically, the Kuomintang Air Force had more than 300 aircraft in name, but many of those aircraft were old and in poor condition. Only more than 250 aircraft could perform combat missions. Compared with the 2,010 aircraft of the Japanese army and navy,

There is a huge difference between the hundreds of aircraft. However, at this time, pilots in the Kuomintang Air Force are far more precious than aircraft. If the aircraft are gone, they can be replenished. However, if the pilot is killed in action, it will take time to train a qualified and experienced pilot.

.

What's more, the Kuomintang does not need the hundreds of aviation schools in Japan. The Kuomintang now only trains pilots at one central aviation school, and the number of pilots trained every year is very rare.

Qin Chuan saluted Zhang Boting, "Chief of Staff Zhang, no problem, without further ado, we will set off immediately, but our clothes are all in Zhenru. It is best to provide us with casual clothes so that we can go deep into the Japanese-controlled area.

”

Zhang Boting nodded and said, "That's no problem. The clothes have been prepared for you. You can leave immediately."

Zhang Boting then said to the communications staff officer who brought Qin Chuan and others back, "Consultant Liu, you immediately take the special forces to change clothes, and then arrange a vehicle to send them to Yangpu."
