After a simple exchange of greetings, Liu Ze and Xia Chuzhong headed to Yao Ziqing's command center in Baoshan County.
As soon as he entered the command post, Liu Ze took out the flag of the 6th Regiment that he had just obtained.
The Union Flag was useless to Liu Ze now that he had successfully changed his Spitfire class.
"I'll have to trouble Senior Xia to pass this to the principal.”
Seeing the chrysanthemum seal of the Japanese emperor on the flag and the words "personally bestowed by the emperor", Xia Chuzhong was instantly excited. He said,"Brother, I admire you even more now. The Japanese's flag can be captured in one piece. Once the news spreads, it will definitely boost the morale of our army.”
In his excitement, Xia Chuzhong asked with some doubt,"Brother, why don't you cross the river and hand it over to the principal? I heard that the principal has already arrived on the other side of the river this morning and personally encouraged the three armies to kill the enemy.”
Liu Ze shook his head and said,""The Japanese's 6th Regiment has been destroyed by us, they will definitely not let this matter rest. The Japanese's fleet will enter Huangpu River at any time, and Baoshan County is a strategic location, so the Japanese are even more determined to obtain it.
"When that time comes, Baoshan County will definitely become the center of the Japanese's encirclement. The nearby 68th Japanese regiment, the Japanese's aviation and warships will definitely bombard Baoshan. How can I leave in this situation?”
Baoshan County was a strategic choke point, and the Japanese would definitely do their best to capture Baoshan.
Moreover, the Sixth Regiment had already been wiped out near the treasure mountain. The Japanese would definitely take revenge.
When the time came, there would definitely be an attack that was more ferocious than any in history. The system's main mission was for Liu Ze to help defend the treasure mountain for fifteen days.
Even for the current Liu Ze, this was a very difficult task.
The Battle of Baoshan was related to the overall situation of the Battle of Songhu.
If Bao Shan, who was a prominent figure, could hold on, it would be very easy for him to fight in both Luodian and Lion Rock Fortress.
When the three points were connected, it would be a solid three that was 10,000 meters long. With the defensive perimeter, no matter where the Japanese attacked from, they would be attacked by the other two positions.
Furthermore, behind the treasure mountain was the lifeline of the Chinese army. A pontoon bridge was built across the river, and a large amount of military supplies were transported to the front line of Shanghai through this pontoon bridge.
Therefore, the significance of the existence of the treasure mountain became even more important.
This was also the reason why the Japanese had eliminated the Sixth Regiment.
Now that the 6th regiment had been destroyed, the 68th regiment, which was the closest to them, would take over.
Xia Chuzhong, a veteran general on the battlefield, naturally understood this logic. Seeing that Liu Ze insisted on staying, he immediately said,"I will immediately bring the flag of the alliance across the river to meet the old man and win more support from him.”
At this point, Xia Chuzhong suddenly smiled and said,"With this flag, we have to fight for the support of a regiment.”
When Liu Ze heard this, he smiled. This was also the reason why he had asked Xia Chuzhong to help him pass on the alliance flag.
Xia Chuzhong was one of the principal's most trusted people. Even though he was a major general and was also deeply trusted by Old Jiang, it was more reasonable for a division commander to ask for reinforcements than a bachelor like him. More importantly, the defense of Baoshan area was Xia Chuzhong's responsibility.
If Liu Ze went to ask for reinforcements, he would have to overstep his boundaries and it would not be appropriate.
Xia Chuzhong also understood this logic, so he agreed very straightforwardly.
"Previously, I obtained a batch of weapons and equipment from the Japanese. After brother brought reinforcements, we can strengthen the defensive firepower of the Baoshan area.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Xia Chuzhong hurriedly crossed the river with the regiment flag.
Half an hour later, Xia Chuzhong saw Old Jiang.
He personally presented the flag of the Sixth Regiment and reported in detail the process of annihilating the Sixth Regiment.
Xia Chuzhong didn't take any credit for Liu Ze's contribution. After all, he knew that Liu Ze definitely had a private communication channel with Old Jiang. He didn't dare to exaggerate his own contribution.
Destroying the Sixth Regiment was definitely a great victory in history.
Ol 'Jiang seemed to have suddenly become younger by a dozen years. He praised Liu Ze for a few minutes and affirmed the huge role that the 98th Division played in wiping out the 6th Regiment.
When Xia Chuzhong mentioned that he needed reinforcements, the happy Old Jiang naturally waved his hand and directly assigned an elite teaching group to Xia Chuzhong. He also strictly ordered him to hand this teaching group over to Liu Ze.
Then, Old Jiang handed over a reserve regiment to Xia Chuzhong to replenish the 98th Division's battle losses. He also transferred a German artillery battalion to Xia Chuzhong.
An hour later, Xia Chuzhong hurriedly crossed the river with two regiments and an artillery battalion.
The situation was changing rapidly, and the Japanese's revenge could come at any time. He could not rest for a moment.
Old Jiang happily gathered the reporters and announced the great victory of wiping out the 6th Regiment. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Zhizhong to reward the 98th Regiment and inform the entire army of this great victory.
After gathering the reporters, Old Jiang announced this great victory in high spirits. He wiped out a permanent regiment of the Japanese and even displayed the flag of the Sixth Regiment in front of the reporters.
For a time, it shocked the reporters inside and outside.
The Japanese reporters at the scene took photos of the flag in disbelief. They planned to verify it as soon as they returned.
The Japanese reporters naturally hoped that Old Jiang's paranoia was acting up. After all, they knew very well what the United Flag meant.
One had to know that in the entire battle sequence of the Japanese army, the flag of the regiment was tens of millions of times more valuable than the flag of the division.
That was a gift from the Emperor, not something as insignificant as the Regimental Flag.
Meanwhile, the reporters in the country were extremely excited. The broadcast stations everywhere could not wait to announce the good news.
The annihilation of the sixth regiment was destined to cause a sensation.
When the Chinese soldiers who were fighting the Japanese on the frontlines heard this news, their morale soared. They even counter-attacked the Japanese many times. They fought with their daggers and did not care about their lives. This caused the casualties of the Japanese on the battlefields to increase.
