Regarding Zheng Man's sadness or Guo Qiliang's anger, Zhang Tianhai has considered these factors, but so what? What he wanted to do involved too much, and he didn't want to drag them down!
The dock was still noisy. Zhang Tianhai ordered everyone in the secret service company to sit down and have dinner first, and then make arrangements. The so-called dinner was naturally fried rice with cold water.
Zhang Tianhai was nibbling on the small amount of cold fried rice in his hands. He still had some fried rice on his body, but that was only a few days' worth, so he had to eat sparingly.
Looking at the cloudless night sky, dots of stars were shining, the cold river wind was still biting, and the riverside was still noisy, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank. He was still waiting, waiting for about ten years. At two o'clock, when the hearts of these stragglers were beginning to despair, there might still be many regiment and battalion officers commanding these stragglers. Since they had their own middle-level officers commanding them, they would definitely not be able to obey him. Directed.
Time passed by, and the officers and soldiers of the Thirty-sixth Division had taken control of several small ferries present. The remaining skirmishers were in a mess. Some were looking for wooden planks to build rafts, while others jumped directly. The cold Yangtze River, but most of those who jumped into the Yangtze River would not survive because of the cold water temperature and unfamiliarity with the water.
Zhang Tianhai and his special agent company found a relatively open place to sit down. He asked the officers and soldiers of the special agent company to seize the time to recover their physical strength. In short, they must have sufficient physical strength when retreating and breaking through!
Soon, someone discovered that this well-equipped team was sitting very calmly under the leadership of a colonel and officer, even so calm that there was no trace of panic on their faces and they were all calm.
As a result, a bold soldier came over and asked: "Sir, which army are you from? Why don't you leave in a hurry? The Japanese are coming to kill..."
"Tell him directly." Zhang Tianhai said to Liu Houming beside him. He was still thinking about which route to break through was safer.
"Yes, regimental seat!" Liu Houming responded. After receiving the order, he said directly to the soldier: "We are the first regiment directly under the war zone. The officer next to us is our regiment commander. Our regiment commander is here. I want to wait until there are more people before organizing a breakout!"
"Breakout?" The soldier asked with some doubts, as if he didn't believe it.
I saw Liu Houming snorting coldly and saying very proudly: "Our regiment commander, if we didn't want to take you broken soldiers away, we would have crossed the river with the commander of the theater commander's department. You are really blind." "
Liu Houming is also very alert, he knows when to say what to say, and he also knows when things should be appropriately exaggerated. When ten sentences are mixed with half a lie, it is very realistic.
Looking at Liu Houming's attitude, we can see that the leading officer is indeed a colonel, and with more than 200 people, he is quite calm. The most important thing is that the equipment is complete, and it is German weapons and equipment. Except for the troops directly under the war zone, other The German weapons troops were all dispersed.
So, the soldier believed it and hurried back to report to their commander. Soon, the company commander of that unit came over and gave a military salute to Zhang Tianhai who was sitting there: "Hello, sir, we teach There are still more than a hundred of us from the Fourth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the General Corps, and our rifles have basically not been lost. Our third battalion and regiment have been scattered. I also heard that the officers of the General Department have also withdrawn. You are said to be the commander of the regiment directly under the theater, and I would like to take the liberty of asking if you can allow our troops to break out with you?"
Zhang Tianhai stood up and looked at the young officer in front of him. He returned the military salute and said, "Okay. We are coming back just to take you away. But I have a condition."
"Sir, it doesn't matter. As long as there is an opportunity to lead our group of brothers to break through the encirclement, as long as the commander orders, I will obey the orders." The major battalion commander stood at attention and saluted again.
Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then said seriously: "The Japanese army's encirclement has not been completely formed yet, and we still have a great chance to break out of the encirclement. My condition is that you accept my command unconditionally. Otherwise, you can Find someone else, the special agent company behind me is a reinforced company, even if I bring my special agent company, I can break through the encirclement!"
"Yes, sir!" the major stood at attention and saluted again. This was his guaranteed promise.
"What's your name?" Zhang Tianhai looked directly at the major and asked.
"I hold a humble position, Zhou Fangjie, and am the major commander of the third battalion of the fourth regiment of the second brigade of the teaching corps!" The major's voice was very powerful.
"Okay, let's eat something first! Eat something, and then rest for a while. Other skirmishers will come over and be incorporated directly into your camp!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai said to Wei He behind him: "Captain Wei, let me The brothers gave some food to teach the brothers in the main team.”
"Yes!" Wei He responded, and then faithfully carried out the commander's order.
"Thank you, sir." Zhou Fang said.
Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said: "My name is Zhang Tianhai, commander of the first regiment directly under the theater."
Soon, Zhou Fangjie and his third battalion, which were said to be the only remaining ones, officially joined Zhang Tianhai and his group in the "sit-in" team.
What is a chain reaction? A chain reaction means that when one individual does something, other individuals will follow suit.
When Zhou Fangjie's more than 100 people joined Zhang Tianhai's team, Zhang Tianhai's team suddenly increased to more than 300 and nearly 400 people. Such a large team of 300 to 400 people will naturally arouse the anger of many people along the river. Pay attention, as a result, these defeated soldiers began to slowly inquire about Zhang Tianhai's situation one by one, and then joined Zhang Tianhai's team.
The people swarming on the riverside at this time were basically soldiers of the Central Army. After all, local troops like Xu Yuanquan's Second Corps were guarding the Wulongshan Fortress, and the two armies of the Guangdong Army had also broken through.
At the beginning, about ten or twenty people joined, and Zhang Tianhai agreed to them one by one. However, he found that if these stragglers were well commanded, it is very likely that these troops would collapse at the first touch!
He absolutely allowed this situation to occur, so Zhang Tianhai came up with an idea, which was to break up these troops and organize them into the special agent company and Zhou Fangjie's battalion. Otherwise, these people would look quite large, but in fact they are all mob.
Zhang Tianhai figured it out. These troops were first organized into their own special agent companies, so that one-third of a squad would be veterans of the special agent companies, and the remaining two-thirds would be newly formed units.
Zhou Fangjie's battalion can be organized according to his own ideas. For Zhang Tianhai, the special agent company is the confidence that Zhang Tianhai can lead his troops to break out of the encirclement.
As a result, the reinforced company of the special agent company gradually expanded from more than 250 people to more than 350 people, and then from more than 350 people to more than 570 people, and then from 570 people to more than 570 people. The number of more than ten people has expanded to more than 650 people.
Zhou Fangjie's team has also expanded from more than a hundred to more than 400 people. Together with Zhang Tianhai's team, there are more than a thousand people, which immediately reduces a lot of the burden on the chaotic dock.
More importantly, the tank company also joined this team with the breakout team as the core. This immediately increased Zhang Tianhai's confidence a lot. After all, this is a tank company, and it is a fully formed team. The chariot company, nine tanks and chariots, is enough for a little devil to drink a pot.
For a modern commander and fighter, the importance of tanks and combat vehicles on the battlefield is self-evident, especially in this era where the emphasis on tanks is far less than that of later generations!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai must make good use of this tank company!
