In the 26th year of the Republic of China, on October 11, 1937, Sun Paopao's 88th Division fully withdrew from Zhabei.
At the same time, Chen Jinghua officially joined the army and reported to the 88th division.
The supply camp was directly under the division. In other words, other than the major battalion commander, Chen Jinghua's superior was also Sun Paopao's division headquarters.
Of course!
As the lieutenant general of the 88th Division, Paopao Sun didn't have the time to care about the report of a lieutenant.
Actually!
Chen Jinghua didn't even go to the division headquarters before he was sent to the supply camp by Chief of Staff Zhang.
Sixing warehouse, 88th division's logistics camp.
Just like what Chen Jinghua knew, all the supplies and equipment of the 88th division were piled up here.
Four rows of warehouses!
Not long after half a month, Xie Jin Yuan's 400 brothers, known as the 800 strong men, would fight a very flashy and tragic battle here.
In the previous month, Chen Jinghua had not joined the army and went to the front line immediately because he was preparing for this battle.
The defense of the Sihang warehouse was a battle launched by Principal Chang for show. It was to win the sympathy and assistance of the Westerners at the meeting of the nine countries to be held at the beginning of next month.
What a pity!
Not only did Principal Chang fail to achieve his goal of putting on a show, but he also caused a huge loss to the 800 strong men who were guarding the four-row warehouse.
Weak countries had no diplomacy, and the cruel reality made Principal Chang's goal fail!
However!
The battle at Sihang Warehouse had stirred up an unprecedented wave of resistance in the country, inspiring countless people.
Commander Xie Jin Yuan was also known as the hero of the war.
This was military prestige!
Previously, Chen Jinghua wanted to gain military prestige because he had his eyes on the battle at the four-row warehouse.
As long as he could make an appearance in the four-row warehouse, he would definitely be valued by the higher-ups and receive the corresponding military merits.
But now!
Through Du Yuesheng's connections, Chen Jinghua smoothly moved into the four-row warehouse half a month earlier.
With this half a month of preparation, Chen Jinghua firmly believed that the tragedy of the 800 strong men retreating into the British concession in another time and space would never happen again.
"Report!"
"Chen Jinghua? A new deputy battalion commander?"
Other than Major and Battalion Commander Lin Mijian, the rest of the platoon leaders were jealous of Chen Jinghua's arrival.
The 88th division was known as Principal Chang's Royal Guards. They were all equipped with German machinery and were known as the elites of the elites. However, they were very xenophobic.
Chen Jinghua was an unknown hothead who had no military achievements to speak of, but he had directly used the back door to occupy their battalion deputy position. Who would give him a good face?
Even Battalion Commander Lin Mijian looked down on Chen Jinghua's tone.
"Yes, sir!"
In response, Chen Jinghua stood at attention and replied without any objections.
Because Chen Jinghua knew!
The 88th Division was a heroic unit!
Since the start of the war, they were the first troops to enter the front line and the last to withdraw.
During the Battle of Songhu, the 88th Division had a total of 16,000 soldiers, but 8,000 of them died on the battlefield.
The 7,000 or so soldiers who had retreated did not go to the rear to rest. Instead, they went to the defense of the national team.
In the end, less than five hundred of the seven thousand men in the elite division actually crossed the river to break out of the encirclement.
The remaining 7,000 brothers all died in battle at Zhonghua Gate, Yuhuatai, and other locations.
The entire 88th division had given their all in the two great battles. How could they not be heroes?
What a pity!
Such a heroic unit had a commander who escaped, causing the entire 88th division to lose its reputation.
Therefore!
Faced with the xenophobic gazes of these brothers, how could Chen Jinghua be bothered?
Finally!
It was Chen Jinghua who took the initiative to request to be transferred to be in charge of the recycling of abandoned weapons on the battlefield.
This was a tough job, and there was no profit.
Chen Jinghua's actions eased the atmosphere, and Battalion Commander Lin became even more friendly with him.
However, even if they were familiar with each other!
The supply camp was still very wary of Chen Jinghua, this brat who had just arrived.
At the very least!
Lin Mijian, the major and battalion commander, did not arrange for Chen Jinghua to enter the underground warehouse of the four-row warehouse immediately.
The underground warehouse was the top secret vault of the Bank of Shikoku where gold bars were stored.
Of course!
As soon as the war started, the banks of the four countries had already transferred all the gold bars and cash, leaving the 88th division with an empty vault that was known as the sharpest and safest in Asia.
This warehouse was used by the commander of the 88th Division, Sun Paopao, to store the military supplies.
Apart from Paopao Sun who had one key to the underground warehouse, only Lin Mijian, the battalion commander of the supply camp, had a spare one.
Military supplies and ammunition were the lifeblood of the 88th division.
Chen Jinghua, this brat who had suddenly appeared, did not have the qualifications to enter such an important military place.
Chen Jinghua did not care about everyone's defenses!
After reporting, the first thing they did was to dive into the scrapped guns.
