At this time, Zhang Tianhai only had eight words in his head: military morale is available, morale is available!
Like those reorganized troops, they are not afraid of death and swear to defend their homeland to the death. They all use practical actions to prove their love for this country and this land.
At this time, there are no longer divisions between factions, parties and governments, but only Chinese people, and they are Chinese soldiers who are not afraid of death!
"Okay, no problem, you are all good. Just carry out battle replenishment according to each squad and company!" Zhang Tianhai's eyes were full of joy. It is precisely with such people that the Chinese nation will not be destroyed. .
After arranging these things, Zhang Tianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief: one thing has been dealt with.
War is cruel, so cruel that all the familiar people around you can disappear overnight.
After two months of war, there were only two familiar faces left in the entire first battalion. One was the first company commander Li Chunfei, and the other was Xu Sangou.
It has to be said that Li Chunfei and Xu Sangou were lucky. After being on the battlefield for so long, they only suffered some insignificant minor injuries, but no fatal injuries; even Wei He, who was Zhang Tianhai's guard, was killed by stray bullets on the front line. Got off.
As for deputy battalion commander Sun Hong, he was ordered by the division commander to be transferred to the third battalion of the 212th Regiment as battalion commander.
The cruel war takes a huge toll on the military, especially on grassroots officers and soldiers.
However, the massive consumption of grassroots officers and soldiers will inevitably lead to a series of talent shortages - of course, this is for officers.
After the death of the big soldier, the most important thing is to recruit more troops. After a few months of training, they are qualified soldiers again; but what about qualified officers? Are officers so easy to train?
Therefore, after suffering heavy casualties in the battle, Sun Hong, as a top student from the seventh phase of Huangpu, was immediately targeted by his superiors.
Fatigue and tiredness invaded Zhang Tianhai's heart - he, like all the officers and soldiers on the front line, hated this damn war.
"Batalion Commander, where are we going now?" It was Xu Sangou who spoke. At this time, he had become much more mature, but he was still thin.
Xu Sangou is now the acting company commander of the second company. Although he is not from Huangpu, he can't take care of so much at this time - how can there be so many qualified officers for you? There is a shortage of officers everywhere on the front lines now! Especially qualified officers!
"Continue patrolling!" Walking in this small town that no longer had a complete house, Zhang Tianhai felt solemn in his heart.
Two months of continuous fighting put Zhang Tianhai under extraordinary pressure. People have been killed all the time in the past two months, and he doesn't know if the person who will die tomorrow will be him.
Zhang Tianhai raised his head and looked at the not-so-scorching sun in the sky, and felt deeply: It was already late autumn, and the weather would soon get colder.
However, mourning the Spring and Autumn Period was not what Zhang Tianhai should do at this time. He strode forward, walked up to a soldier who was in a daze and chewed bread, patted his shoulder, and said: " Brother, take a good rest after eating, and we will continue to beat the little devil later."
When the soldier saw that he was the battalion commander, he immediately stood up and saluted, regardless of whether he was still chewing steamed buns, "Yes, battalion commander."
Zhang Tianhai nodded lightly, patted the soldier's shoulder again, and said, "Well, let's have a good rest. Once we beat the little devil away, we won't have to fight on the battlefield."
Listening to the battalion commander's words, the soldier's nose suddenly felt a little sore. He said with a slight choke: "Yes, battalion commander. Don't worry, we won't be ambiguous when we fight. Isn't he a little devil carrying one on two shoulders?" In the head?”
"Yeah. Come on, you are all the best soldiers!" Zhang Tianhai nodded lightly.
This is a job that Zhang Tianhai must do every day. To put it nicely, it is to boost morale and boost the morale of the army; to put it worst, it is to make the soldiers below work harder and fight harder!
There is a feeling of war weariness on the front lines, but it is not that serious. After all, this is a national war. The officers and soldiers know that what they are doing is to fight against the invaders, so they fight very hard.
But still, the feeling of war weariness inevitably arises - after all, in this environment where people die every day, and those who die are close comrades who have been with them day and night, and no one knows whether they will be able to see the sun tomorrow. Can the psychological pressure be reduced? It's so big that it's a bit unbearable.
During these fighting days, Zhang Tianhai also launched several small-scale sneak attacks on the enemy in the dead of night. The results were quite good, but in the end it was a drop in the bucket - in the face of absolute strength, everything All the conspiracies and conspiracies seemed to be distant and insignificant.
The gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies was too big. In this battle, the Japanese army had the absolute upper hand. Under the fierce attack of the land, sea and air forces, the national army was beaten everywhere. Compared with the overall situation, Zhang Tianhai's victory was negligible or even It's unremarkable.
When manpower is limited, this is probably Zhang Tianhai's true portrayal!
…
At nine o'clock in the morning on October 28, 1937, Zhang Tianhai received an order from the regiment headquarters conveyed to the division headquarters: the entire division moved to the south bank of the Suzhou River for garrison.
Along with the order from the division headquarters, there was also an order from the regiment headquarters. This order was personally given by the regiment commander Hu Jiaji: The first battalion is responsible for the rear of the entire regiment. It must withstand for more than two hours to win valuable points for the retreat of the entire regiment. time. After completing the mission, meet at the south bank of Suzhou River!
After receiving the order to take charge of the rear, Zhang Tianhai was not surprised: in the past two months, the tenacious performance of the 1st Battalion of the 216th Regiment was outstanding in both the 108th Brigade and the 36th Division. The regiment leader trusted him, and it was normal for him to hand over this most dangerous task to the first battalion.
I would like to ask, if it is not handed over to the First Battalion, can the others guarantee that it will last for more than two hours and possibly escape unscathed?
This is a kind of trust, but it is also a kind of pressure.
"Send the order and gather the two companies together!" Zhang Tianhai ordered in a deep voice. Military orders are like mountains, and as a soldier, you have to carry them out to the end!
"Yes!" the orderly soldier responded, and then ran out to convey the battalion commander's order.
Zhang Tianhai's face was as heavy as water. He should be thinking about how to fight this battle - this battle would not only last for two hours, but also lead a battalion of brothers to escape unscathed.
Anyone who knows that something is not possible but does it, except a saint, is a fool. Zhang Tianhai never thinks that he is a saint, but he will not be that fool who acts as cannon fodder. He knows what to do and what not to do!
