Although Sangou is not very old, just in his early twenties, he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, participated in the Luodian battle as a midshipman, and was promoted from deputy platoon commander to platoon commander, and now the deputy company commander is also the platoon commander.

Besides, Sangou's performance on the battlefield, everyone admired it very much, and let him be the deputy company commander, there was nothing to say; What is the young age, during the war years, many young people, with their own skills and military merits, rose quickly, besides, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth.

The other three platoon commanders were all promoted by the three squad leaders of the original four platoons, and everyone had nothing to say, Xiucai led the troops to be both rigid and soft, and the people below were very convinced of him, he himself was a special shooter, and no one was unconvinced.

When Tienon and Dogleg were squad leaders, they took the lead bravely again and again, with good kung fu and brave and strategic battles.

As for some squad leaders, Sangou let the three of them arrange first, giving priority to the people in their original class, Sangou has not been a squad leader, so naturally there are no people in this class.

Xiucai in the second row arranged Wu Dingli, Zhu Mingtai, and Yang Songlin, who were experts in fighting artillery, as squad leaders, Tienon in the third platoon, arranged Radishes, Yang Chengzu, and Li Guangben as squad leaders, and Doglegs in the fourth platoon arranged Big Potato, bamboo poles, and Zhang Zhiguang as squad leaders.

The cooking squad leader is still Lao Li Tou, the monk Yao Yunshan continues to be the company's health soldier, and although Sangou really wants to fight the artillery master bamboo pole Wu Dingli and others, he is already the deputy company commander, and he can't still be as big as the platoon commander.

It is necessary to proceed from the overall situation of the whole company, reasonably match all kinds of masters, and unite the soldiers in order to form a strong combat effectiveness, so in the end, the remaining three people, Zhou Guangcui, Zhou Jingliang, and Chen Jiabing, were asked to be squad leaders.

The Seventh Company originally wanted to train the recruits in the position of Nanxiang, but two days later, on 5 November, the 6th, 18th, and 114th Divisions of the Japanese Army landed in the vicinity of Jinshanwei on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay.

This left hook was very powerful, seriously threatening the flank of the Shanghai battlefield, and the situation of the battle took a sharp turn, and the Supreme Military Council had to order all the troops participating in the battle to retreat.

Note: The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese Army before the war, and it is also one of the most fierce and barbaric divisions, and the 2nd, 5th, and 18th divisions are known as the most elite divisions of the Japanese army.

The 6th Division was also the most brutal Japanese army in the Nanjing Massacre, as long as the division passed through a series of bloody massacres, rape and plunder.

This division was formed in Kumamoto, Kyushu, Japan, where the people were poor and the people were fond of fighting, and before World War II, the Japanese said: "The first soldier in Japan, the first Japanese soldier in Kyushu, and the first in Kyushu in Kumamoto." ”

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the 6th Division was transferred to the Pacific Theater, where it was severely beaten by the US and Australian troops, almost destroying the division.

Among them, the former division commander Gu Toshio, the squadron leader of the 45th Wing, Tanaka Gunyoshi, and the other two "100-person beheading" murderers of the 16th Division, ---- Toshiaki Mukai and Takeshi Noda, were executed in Nanjing.

The 18th Division, with soldiers from industrial workers on the island of Kyushu, was known for its ferocity and was considered an ace unit of the Japanese army, stationed in Hangzhou after the Battle of Songhu, occupied Guangzhou in 1938, entered Southeast Asia in 1942, and invaded Malaysia, Singapore, and Burma.

After 1943, he was beaten by the Chinese army stationed in India in the Hukang River Valley, almost wiped out in Myitkyina, and after 1944, he was encircled and suppressed in Longling, Songshan and other places in Yunnan, and finally surrendered in Burma.

114th Division. Before the outbreak of the war, Japan had a total of 17 permanent divisions; After the outbreak of the war, in order to make up for the shortage of troops, a large number of special divisions and regiments were expanded, and the 114th Division was formed by the reserve soldiers of the 14th Division.

After the fall of Shanghai, the 114th Division marched north along the south bank of Taihu Lake to Linyixing, from the direction of Lishui, arrived at the outskirts of Nanjing, and joined the 6th Division to attack Yuhuatai, after the fall of Nanjing, the 114th Division participated in the Nanjing Massacre.

In 1938, he participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. In the summer of 1939, during the "sweep" of the anti-Japanese base area in Shandong, he wantonly slaughtered innocent people.

In June 1939, division commander Numata Tokushige was ambushed by Yang Yongbu of the Luxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and was shot in the chest and abdomen in multiple places, and died in Jinan Hospital. On July 22, the division was ordered to return to China for recuperation, and in August, its establishment was abolished.

……

After nearly three months of fighting the Battle of Shanghai (after which history was determined: the Battle of Songhu), both sides suffered heavy casualties, the elite of the national army was exhausted, and the Japanese army also suffered a lot of losses.

Now three full-strength divisions have landed in the vicinity of Jinshanwei on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, where several armies were supposed to be on alert, but they were all transferred to the Shanghai battlefield.

Now the Jinshanwei defense was empty, and the Japanese army easily landed, all the way like a bamboo, along the Jinshan, Songjiang, straight to the rear of the Shanghai battlefield, and the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 13th and other divisions in the direction of Baoshan to advance against each other.

The two major offensives on the left and right, like a pair of pincers, or like two hands, are beginning to choke Shanghai's neck, and once they meet, it is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of all the national troops at the Shanghai station.

China's elite army was placed in Shanghai, and once it was completely annihilated, it would fall into a dangerous situation of having no army to fight, and it would really be three months to lose the country, so in order not to lose the country and not be completely annihilated, it had to retreat on all fronts.

However, the retreat of the Military Commission will make the troops under it suffer, and the retreat cannot be swarmed, otherwise it will become a rout and flee, and the combat effectiveness will be completely lost, which is no different from being completely annihilated.

Therefore, there is also a sequence of retreat, basic tactics such as alternate cover, the 74th Army had just blocked the 11th Division on the Eastern Front to invade Luodian, and now it has not taken a breath, and it has been transferred to the Western Front to block the new force of the Japanese army that has just landed.

On 5 November, the 74th Army was ordered to transfer to Qingpu County, occupy positions and build fortifications on the line between Zhuge Town, Qingpu County, Zhangyan Town, and the right bank of the Qiu River, covering the retreat of hundreds of thousands of national troops.

On 6 November, the 58th Division of the 74th Army met the 11th Brigade of the vanguard of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army near Bazi Bridge and Baihe Port, and a fierce battle broke out.

By 9 November, most of the 174th Brigade of the 58th Division had suffered casualties, including brigade commander Wu Jiguang, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 334th Regiment Ying Yang, and commander of the 3rd Battalion Tong Yafu, and the enemy also suffered heavy casualties. On November 10, the port of Hakutsuru was lost.

On 11 November, the 51st Division received an order to retreat to the south of Qingpu County and build fortifications in the areas of Maqiao, Tiediantang and Triangle to cover the retreat of the main force.

On the 13th, the 74th Army retreated to Suzhou, leaving only the 306th Regiment of the 51st Division to hold Qingpu and cover the retreat.

On the 14th, Japanese planes came to prevent the 51st Division from turning back to Qingpu County, constantly bombing and strafing, and Hu Hao of the 3rd Battalion ordered the 8th and 9th Companies to go with the 7th Company, because the 7th Company was almost a new recruit.

These poor recruits had hardly touched any guns before, but as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were bombed and strafed by Japanese planes, and they didn't know how to hide from air defense at first.

They all hid under houses and big trees, but as everyone knows, the pilots in the sky will also speculate according to the psychology of ordinary people that they must have dropped bombs on these places.

There are no houses, big trees and other places to hide, and as soon as these recruits see the plane coming, they are like ducks, fleeing in all directions, so angry that it is useless to shoot them.

In the end, the eight and nine companies were caught on the side, and as soon as the plane came, these recruits learned to lie down together in ditches, roadsides, grass, and other places, and they slowly escaped some air raids.
