On the 24th, the Wei Nation headquarters appointed Yamamoto 65 as the new commander of the invading fleet.
That afternoon, Yamamoto 65 arrived in Shanghai on a private plane. The first order he gave was to eliminate Zhou Weiguo and the Flying Tigers at all costs, making China's number one regiment the laughing stock of the world.
On the 25th, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft began to search Shanghai.
Zhou Weiguo did not deliberately hide his location, and the location of the encampment was soon exposed.
Yamamoto 65 ordered the Kaga aircraft carrier to take turns to attack Hujiang University and Gongda Yarn Mill in retaliation with three squadrons!
This old devil was unlucky to have met Zhou Weiguo, who had the system.
Before the fighter jet could reach Shanghai, Zhou Weiguo discovered it from the holographic radar and set up an ambush in advance.
When the Japanese planes entered the sky above Hongkou District, a series of hot ammunition chains suddenly flew up from the streets below. Caught off guard, four Japanese bomber planes were hit on the spot and exploded into turkeys in the air!
Then, hundreds of armed vehicles equipped with 20mm anti-air cannons and 12.7MM anti-aircraft machine guns chased after the Japanese planes!
In less than three minutes, they shot down two more bomber planes and one fighter plane.
The other two Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets relied on their fast climbing speed. After being hit, they rose to a few thousand meters in the air with rolling black smoke and fled in a panic. One of them flew to the surface of the river and was hit by the airflow. It directly disintegrated and crashed. Only one escaped back to the Kaga.
A squadron consisting of three fighter jets and six bomber planes was almost completely annihilated.
Only a few vehicles of the Flying Tigers were hit by the suicide attack of the Japanese. In addition to the explosion of the bombs, more than 20 people were killed or injured.
With the enhancement of the high-power critical strike, Zhou Weiguo obtained 25 pilots and hundreds of planes.
This included 10 B-17 Bombers, 20 C-47 Transport Aircrafts, 25 JU-87 Bombers, 10 BF109 Fighters, 15 Zero Fighters, 35 Fearless Bombers, and a large amount of aviation fuel and weapons.
This ground-to-air decisive battle once again became an unprecedented victory on the Songhu battlefield. Yamamoto 65's old face was also slapped.
When the news spread, the entire country was instantly excited.
President Jiang personally sent a commendation order, rewarding him with 30,000 yuan and writing,'Huangpu Army Spirit, Good General of the State of Wei!'The eight words were given to Zhou Weiguo and were reprinted by all the major newspapers.
With the shouts of the broadcaster and the paperboy, Zhou Weiguo's fame once again shook the entire Yangtze River, setting off a fishing vessel craze at home and abroad.
Not only did the Westerners change their opinion of the situation in China, but many patriotic Chinese also donated money and supplies to support the national team.
In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions, countless hot-blooded youths abandoned their homes and businesses to rush to the war zone. When they saw the troops, they signed up and requested to join the Flying Tigers to fight the devils with the national hero, Officer Zhou.
At the same time, Liu Yuan also brought 1500 soldiers from Suzhou.
Since his big brother had arrived, Zhou Weiguo naturally went to the train station to welcome him. Seeing that many people who had come to seek refuge with him had been pulled away by other troops, he was instantly unhappy. He immediately ordered Sun Shaofu to set up a special reception area at Nanxiang Station and Zhenru Station.
In just one afternoon, they received nearly 1000 recruits and two to three tons of supplies.
In addition to the defeated soldiers from the frontlines that had been intercepted recently, the battalions and companies had been greatly enriched. The total military strength had reached more than 6000 people, which was equivalent to a brigade of German Machinists or a local no-name master.
But on the other hand, after replenishing a large number of recruits, the combat effectiveness of the troops would inevitably weaken again.
Zhou Weiguo's solution was to transfer the backbone from each battalion and organize the recruits into a battalion's recruit company. After training for half a month, after all the indicators were passed, they would be added to the main force company by class.
A portion of the 1500 soldiers from Suzhou were incorporated into the various battalions, while the remaining 1000 were organized into an independent reinforced battalion. Liu Yuan, who helped transport the soldiers, was forcefully recruited to become the commander of the independent battalion.
August 28th.
The Flying Tigers had reached 7200 men, which was a serious overdraft.
In order to avoid being exposed, Zhou Weiguo ordered the removal of the reception area and the entire regiment entered a state of training.
On the 29th, because the encirclement and suppression group had been attacking the Japanese marines for a long time without success, and they had suffered many casualties, President Jiang personally called Sun Yuanliang and blamed him for his command error and unfavorable battle.
On the other side, Zhou Weiguo had He Lingyun send out three letters of invitation to battle every day. Sun Yuanliang was so angry that he slammed the table. In the end, his anger flared up and he finally gave him the order to fight.
The Flying Tigers 'chariot company was transferred to assist the 524 regiment of the 88th Division to launch an attack from the east bank of Yujingpu. The purpose was to disperse the few troops of the devil and make it difficult for the Dachuan to pass the seven heads and tails.
As the first batch of troops to participate in the Battle of Songhu, the 524th Regiment also suffered a serious loss of personnel and had just been replenished at Chizhi University.
After receiving the order, the 2,000-strong regiment quickly entered Hongkou District. They were very arrogant and directly stationed at the former site of the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters.
"Regiment 524…Xie Jin Yuan…Han Xianyuan…This was a heroic troop that fought the Japanese to the end. They were worthy of respect.”
"However, those Japanese are all soldiers and equipment. We can't let them go to waste.”
Zhou Weiguo's heart was filled with emotions as he thought about how he would be able to defend the Four Paths by himself in the future, and how he would be able to fight to the last man in the Yuhuatai camp in Jinling.
But that was another matter.
There were still more than 3,000 devils in Shenjiawan and the Northern Settlement. How much good stuff could they drop? How many soldiers could it drop?
Thinking of this, Zhou Weiguo could not sit still anymore."My men must go! If the items dropped, even if they were to provide some support to Regiment 524, it would be better than wasting their efforts!”
Immediately, he gathered all the military officers above the regimental level and held a joint combat meeting with Regiment 524 at Myron Academy.
Still Refinement, Too Difficult...
I'm about to order it, but it's only 8000V. Brothers, how many people will support the purchase? Can you leave a message in the book review section to support it? I'm not sure, my heart is empty...
