Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Since Principal Chang has made up his mind, he naturally wants to publicize this exciting news.

The first thing was to commend all the soldiers of the 301st Regiment and award medals to the fallen soldiers as a reward.

The second is publicity. The overwhelming publicity made the name of the 74st Division of the 51th Army once again resound throughout China.

In fact, there was originally a commendation and appointment, but under Wang Yaowu's repeated requests, Principal Chang chose to acquiesce, so it was not spread.

This is also the reason why Wang Yaowu came here in person today. He wanted to explain.

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I was wondering why your Master Wang came here in person. So this is the problem."

In fact, Wang Yaowu still couldn't bear it and reported to Principal Chang that Gu Changfeng's troops were stationed in the 301st Regiment's defense area.

After hearing this, Principal Chang suddenly realized what was going on and immediately wanted to make the whole story public.

From Qingpu City to the Jinling battlefield, with the battle record of Gu Changfeng's troops, he can definitely create a star in the Kuomintang sequence to boost the morale of the Chinese military and civilians.

Seeing that the principal had this idea, Wang Yaowu was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat and quickly interrupted him.

Now that Nanjing is surrounded by heavy troops, if the Japanese knew that there was such a force, how could they not take it seriously?

When the time comes and they are surrounded by heavy troops, Gu Changfeng's troops will have no choice but to escape or die directly under the Japanese heavy artillery. There is no other way out.

Wang Yaowu didn't want to harm Gu Changfeng, so at his strong request, Principal Chang awarded the honor to the 301st Regiment.

The annihilation of a Japanese regiment had to be reported, and the 301st Regiment in Huxu Town became the best choice.

Mainly after Wang Yaowu's reminder, Principal Chang also figured it out.

Hiding Gu Changfeng's troops would maximize their benefits, which was why he agreed to Wang Yaowu's request.

In fact, what Principal Chang and Wang Yaowu didn't know was that Yoshizumi Ryosuke had already investigated everything last night and was now plotting to wipe out Gu Changfeng's troops in Hushu Town.

"Okay, my Master Wang, these are just small matters."

"Fortunately, I wasn't exposed, otherwise I would have had to run away."

Seeing that Wang Yaowu felt a little embarrassed, Gu Changfeng smiled and comforted him.

He was not upset that Principal Chang knew that he was not in trouble in Hushu Town. It was a matter of time, and he did not care.

Wang Yaowu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you don't mind. I know you don't like to be in the spotlight, so I suggested to the principal not to expose your department!"

He could tell from the previous transaction between Gu Changfeng and Liao Lei that Gu Changfeng didn't care about the rewards within the party at all.

In order to keep Gu Changfeng's troops, he resorted to this desperate measure.

Facts proved that he was right. If they were really exposed, Gu Changfeng would definitely lead his troops to escape without any delay.

Now the land of China is full of war, and Nanjing is not the only battlefield. Wherever you go, you are fighting the Japanese.

As for the people of Jinling, all they had to do was spend some time and effort to complete the subsequent rescue work.

"Alright, let's put it this way. The rewards from the headquarters have been delivered to you. You can handle them yourselves!"

"You are the boss here. Go and put down the Japanese invaders."

Seeing that Gu Changfeng really didn't care, Wang Yaowu prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, from now on, all matters concerning my department here should be handled in this way. Don't expose me."

Hearing this, Wang Yaowu smiled bitterly and said, "You don't even need to tell me that. If I hadn't been holding you back, you would have been exposed yesterday."

Yesterday, Commander Tang Shengzhi inspected the front line, and there was heavy artillery attack from the Japanese, followed by the destruction of another Japanese regiment.

Each of these incidents was a big deal. Without Wang Yaowu taking charge, Gu Changfeng's troops would have become famous all over the world long ago.

"Hehe! That's great, let's do it this way from now on!"

Gu Changfeng was very satisfied. During this period, he only wanted to fight the Japanese.

There are many people who want to be in the limelight, there is no need to do so when you are still young and inexperienced.

Wang Yaowu couldn't understand Gu Changfeng's thoughts, but he still respected his choice, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to help Gu Changfeng hide.

After the two of them finished talking, Ji Hongru walked over and said excitedly.

"Commander, we have captured half of the Japanese regimental flag, along with their unit number."

Wang Yaowu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Damn it, you've also learned to hide things!"

Ji Hongru didn't mention this last night, nor did he ask about it. After all, it was almost impossible to capture the Japanese regiment flag.

He didn't expect Ji Hongru to give him such a big surprise!

Although it was only half a flag, as long as the unit number was there, the Japanese would have no way to deny it and would have to suffer a great loss.

When Ji Hongru heard what his teacher said, he immediately said happily:

"Commander, we were still being pursued by the Japanese last night, and we didn't dare to expose ourselves too early."

"If the Japanese find out, we'll be in real trouble."

The brigade commander Nobutoki Iide was not aware that before the Yagi Regiment was destroyed, they didn't even burn the regimental flag that proved their identity!

Otherwise, he would have to report this matter even if it cost him his life.

If the division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke received this news, he would never give up.

They would definitely launch a massive attack on Huxu Town last night until the defenders were wiped out.

Of course, these are just ifs, Wang Yaowu said in agreement after listening to Ji Hongru's explanation.

"You are doing the right thing. The Japanese are infiltrating heavily now, so we really need to be more careful."

He understood very well the KMT's current situation. The middle and upper levels were like sieves, and nothing could be hidden.

If the Japanese really knew about this, it would be hard to say whether the regimental flag could be preserved.

But it’s different now. Once the matter is made public, the Japanese will have to swallow this loss in silence.

"Alright, you guys take a break first. The next counterattack by the Japanese will probably be even more fierce, so be careful."

Wang Yaowu said this to Ji Hongru and Gu Changfeng next to him at the same time.

The fact that the Japanese regiment flag was captured would definitely be exposed, and the Japanese would definitely not let the Huxu defenders go after knowing it.

This is also what Wang Yaowu is worried about.

A cold light flashed in Gu Changfeng's eyes, and he said with a smile.

"Brother Ji, let's make everyone happy today. I think the war is not far away."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Yaowu and reminded him.

"The Japs can't make a breakthrough here, so they will definitely try to attack Chunhua Town directly and cut off our retreat."

"So, you have to be careful there too."

Wang Yaowu nodded and said, "I will be careful about this. The Japanese will have to go through layers of defense if they attack Chunhua Town directly."

"Without paying a price, the Japs will never get through."

"Besides, they're also afraid of you attacking from the side. Otherwise, why not just attack directly from Jurong?"

This is also the reason why the Japanese directly attacked Huxu Town.

Of course, Yoshizumi Ryosuke might not arrange it this way now.

With the addition of civilian logistics, there are less than 3000 people left in a brigade. How can he swallow this?

If he doesn't retaliate, he is not worthy of being the commander of a division.

Especially after knowing the threat posed by Gu Changfeng's tribe.
