Chapter 607: Continuous Actions!

On December 5, the 18th year of the Republic of China, Shanghai City, which was still in the stage of the purge movement, once again announced to the whole country through various media channels that the Iron-blooded 18th Army was split, with the number of the Iron-blooded 18th Army, the 19th Army, and the number of soldiers in the 18th Army was 70,000. The commander was still Sun Chuanfang, and Du Haisheng stepped down as the special combat brigade. In the position of commander, Wang Guanrong, the captain of the sniper brigade, is also appointed. The number of the 19th Army is 50,000. The commander is Du Haisheng, and the deputy commander is Guo Lianghou. This person is the former chief of staff of the 18th Army's staff headquarters. He is good at planning, and he is also good at leading troops to fight. Du Haisheng and Sun Chuanfang were transferred after consultation.

It is easy to say that Du Haisheng did not choose the soldiers of the 18th Army himself, but let Guo Lianghou take responsibility, but it was a little difficult to command the combatants. After thinking about it, Du Haisheng still decided to dig from the inside, and evaluate the selected people, pass the assessment, enter the leadership of the 18th Army, and the rest of the division-level cadres. It will be taken over by a lower-level deputy, which can also make a good transition.

At the same time, Sun Chuanfang's 18th Army, the 103rd Division of Tang Shengzhi's First Army, and the 88th Division of Wu Peifu's Second Army carried out defense rectification along the Yuhang line and built combat fortifications.

This makes the government of the Republic of China in Nanjing very unhappy. After all, Yuhang's front line is stationed on the Central Army of the National Government, with 50,000 people, responsible for the overall defense of Yuhang. Jiang, who is suspicious, believes that Du Haisheng did this. He is obviously responsible for the security defense of Yuhang on the way to Shanghai, but in fact, he is monitoring himself. The central army, even a threat.

After all, the central army in Yuhang now has only 50,000 people. Compared with Sun Chuanfang's 70,000 troops on the front line, there is still a gap. Most importantly, the disparity in weapons and equipment is more deadly.

At the same time, Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu issued another order: the 175th Division of the First Army, the 3rd Mobile Brigade, the 118th Division of the 2nd Army, and the 4th Motorized Infantry Brigade with a total of more than 40,000 people in total along the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake. Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yixing, Changxing and Huzhou were fully controlled, with Sun Chuanfang The docking of Jinshan, Pinghu, Jiaxing and Nanxun controlled by the 18th Army, the 103rd Division of the First Army and the 88th Division of the Second Army are connected into a line, forming a fan type to play a role in the defense of Shanghai City.

On the second day, the Shanghai Garrison Command made another action. The Shanghai Garrison Command has 10,000 people stationed on Changxing Island, and the Shanghai Defense and Security Bureau also announced on the same day. The order: 30,000 people from the Shanghai Defense and Security Bureau are stationed in Chongming and will cooperate with the sea and island security matters, while the remaining 20,000 people of the Defense and Security Bureau. , stay in Shanghai to continue the security and defense mission.

Du Haisheng did this to prevent the Japanese.

After all, the two islands of Chongming and Changxing are the connection between the Yangtze River and the East China Sea in Shanghai. It is a triangular zone. If it is a military landing, this is the most suitable place to let the two departments go forward to guard. The other is also to see if the two departments have the ability to be upgraded to the military level in the future. Xue Yue went to sit. The town of Changxing Island continues to recruit soldiers.

Huang Jinrong personally sat on Chongming Island, and the two forces fought against each other, forming a strategic attack posture.

On the same day, Du Yuesheng, deputy mayor of the Shanghai People's Government, announced that in order to cooperate with the actions of the First, Second, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Armies, and taking into account Shanghai's coastal defense issues, the Shanghai Maritime Security Command was officially established. Si Weitong was the first commander, and the previous naval base was also included. So far, The former chaotic Shanghai naval fleet completed its historical mission and was officially replaced by the Shanghai Maritime Security Command.

No one expected that after a period of silence in the naval coup more than ten days ago, heavy bombs were released one after another, which once again plunged the Republic of China into an uproar.

Some people have even seen that such a defense, although nominally to prevent the Japanese, is actually preventing the siege of Shanghai by the Jiang government and other warlords in various places in Nanjing, and has formed a confrontation with the Central Army of the National Government on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The two are now at peace. Everyone knows that once there is a war one day. Then, it will be a fierce battle for a comet to hit the earth.

Du Haisheng prepared for the rainy day. With more than 300,000 troops in his hands, he will become another important military force among the warlords of the Republic of China. The 19th Army under his personal charge will continue to be stationed in Shanghai, with no other tasks and appointments except to help the purge.

Du Haisheng also has another idea, that is, according to later China, to divide the land in the hands of the rich to the people, so that they can get benefits. Although he can't implement it nationwide, it should not be difficult to implement land reform in the territory under his control, and this is also in line with the thoughts of the Communist International. Like the road, it won people's hearts. As for those landlords, they dare not have any resistance in front of their own strength.

However, it is not the time to implement this policy. After all, Sun Chuanfang and others have a stable foothold in the first-line cities of Taihu Lake, and he also intends to move the parents and officials in those places.

Before the Spring Festival, he was not going to make adjustments to this matter. After all, the time was so short that he could not understand what the officials had done. However, he had sent Duan Tianhu to secretly investigate the cities on the front line of Taihu Lake. The main purpose is to find out what the officials in these places usually do. Some influential families, door valves and rich people in the local area.

These take time and can't be completed overnight.

With a light snow falling one after another, Shanghai has also entered a cold winter. New Year's Day has passed, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner. A year is destined to pass in the bustling New Year's Day fireworks.

And the marriage between Du Haisheng and his three daughters was naturally put on the agenda.

It's just that two months have passed, and those Japanese Fusang masters still have no news, but the purge campaign has come to an end ten days ago.

After all, if it has been cleaned up, it will also have a great impact on the normal life of the people in Shanghai. At the same time, it will also affect the economy and commerce of Shanghai. The longer it takes, a series of problems will also appear.

Du Haisheng definitely doesn't want to see such a situation.

However, if those Japanese Fusang masters are not eliminated for a day, Du Haisheng can't feel at ease for a moment, and the wedding can't be carried out.

According to his estimation, not only the face-to-faced figures in Shanghai, but also his friends, the leadership of Du's enterprises, warlords and businessmen in other parts of the Republic of China will also take this opportunity to get close to him. In this way, it will naturally be more lively than the day of engagement, among which there will be a mixture of fish and dragons for security work. It brings great trouble.

More importantly, there are those coveted Japanese Fuso masters hidden behind them. Although Du Haisheng has been doubting whether these guys have withdrawn from Shanghai City and are waiting for a new round of opportunities to launch an attack, and now, the cleaning of Shanghai City has also come to an end, which will become more unsafe.

Obviously, their marriage will be the best time for them to attack.

After discussing with Fu Hong's three daughters, with the consent of Fu Zihao, Zhao Tianming and Butterfly's parents, it was decided that the wedding originally held on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month should be postponed. As for when, it was not explained to the outside world.

The Spring Festival is undoubtedly lively.

Especially the people in Shanghai City. Since Du Haisheng took control of Shanghai City, the Shanghai Municipal Government has abolished a lot of unreasonable taxes and even reduced some tax rates, which has greatly benefited businessmen. With the implementation of this measure, the commercial atmosphere of Shanghai City has become stronger, and businessmen who invest in factories are also The increasing increase also means that the employment opportunities of Shanghai and foreign people have also increased. Moreover, because prices are extremely stable and low compared with other parts of the Republic of China, the people's spending money behavior is also bold.

This also promotes the overall vigorous development of workers and farmers. This is a virtuous circle, not only the common people, but also those merchants and bosses are happy to see.

Moreover, the lives of ordinary people have been significantly improved in the past few years. More and more people have come to Shanghai to take refuge and seek employment.

Not only that, the Five-person Ordnance Manufacturing Company and the Vierina Arsenal have also received good news.

Five tanks have been manufactured. Due to steel plates and other problems, they are a little slow. After the Spring Festival, with the official commissioning of Global Steel, it will be significantly improved.

Great progress has also been made in aircraft research and development. There should be a prototype next year, but there are still some difficulties in the engine, but it should be solved. The first warship of the warship company has begun to be manufactured in Jiangnan Shipyard. Although it is only the beginning, it can be fully tested within a year and Equipment for the navy.

Du Haisheng looked at the information in his hand and was already happy. He had promised Sun Chuanfang to give all five tanks to the 18th Army, which made Sun Chuanfang very happy.

Du Haisheng just told him that these tanks should be trained hard. Don't worry about the unlimited supply of shells. It doesn't matter if they are broken. However, let those tank drivers list all the disadvantages and shortcomings of the tanks and give them to himself. In this way, Du Haisheng can install these things. The A tank research and development headquarters asked them to improve their shortcomings.

In this way, the arms weapons developed will be more perfect and reasonable.

When he gave the tank to the 18th Army, he had never been quiet. Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi, and even the deputy commander of the 19th Army and Du Yuesheng and Xue Yue also came to visit for three days. Naturally, there was only one purpose. Such a good thing could not be provided only to the 18th Army. At least everyone should have a share. One.

Du Haisheng had a headache, but after all, he said it in front of so many people at that time, so he naturally couldn't go back.

After agreeing to them, if there are new tanks made after the Spring Festival, they will be sent directly to them, and these guys will be given up.

Who doesn't like new things, especially these tanks, are absolutely good things. For these ruffians, getting this thing is like marrying another beautiful daughter-in-law.

In the bustling atmosphere, the Spring Festival of the 18th year of the Republic of China also passed.

Du Haisheng began to plan the new year's work and the development of Du's enterprises. In two days, he will personally participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the official commissioning of Global Steel.

On that day, heavyweights from all walks of life will be present, and Du Haisheng will also prepare early.

Just on the first day of the ribbon-cutting of Universal Steel, the extremely hidden Du Haisheng's new house came as an uninvited guest, but the arrival of this person made him somewhat surprised...
