"How are you, brother Yanmou (Xu Zuyi's cousin)?" Li Zongren, who was riding back to the city leisurely on his horse, asked Xu Zuyi next to him.
Xu Zuyi thought for a while and said, "Zhang Tianhai is extremely smart. Judging from his words and deeds, he is indeed a loyal, brave and patriotic soldier. If not, he would not have been able to disobey orders and save the people on the battlefield. His equipment is very sophisticated, and the little soldier is very smart." The equipment of a small reinforced regiment is comparable to that of a division. In addition, none of the soldiers in its unit look like new recruits, especially the killing intent in their eyes, which is definitely not what recruits have. . The combat effectiveness of this regiment must be very strong. If used in the right place, it may be able to withstand a division."
"Sure enough, heroes think alike. I think so too. I had some thoughts about Zhang Tianhai's disobedience before, but after getting to know him well, I found that he is indeed a rare talent." Li Zongren this time After that, his impression of Zhang Tianhai was quite good, and even his praise was not concealed. Maybe he remembered something, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "By the way, brother Yanmou, the first war zone meeting held in Henan this time Meeting with the senior anti-Japanese generals of the Fifth War Zone, have you decided which troops to bring?"
"No...does Chief Li mean to bring Zhiyi Tuan over?" Just when Xu Zuyi was about to blurt out those words, he suddenly understood what Li Zongren meant.
"Yes." Li Zongren nodded, then approached Xu Zuyi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could speak, "Anyway, isn't it required that the entourage of senior officers should not exceed one regiment? We happen to have one regiment here."
"But that's a reinforcement group, can it be considered a group?" Xu Zuyi's head suddenly became a little hard to turn around.
"Why doesn't it count? As long as the reinforced regiment has not been expanded into a brigade, it will still be a regiment!" Li Zongren said with certainty.
Xu Zuyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will take this group!"
"Well, you can just take it with you, but it's a pity that the Military Command is still reluctant to leave this reinforcement regiment to my fifth theater." Li Zongren said with a long sigh. He knew very well that if the Military and Political Department was willing to leave Zhang Tianhai, If the regiment gave him the fifth theater number of Li Zongren, it would be impossible for the regiment's unit number to be that of the third theater group instead of changing it to the unit number of his fifth theater group.
After all, a temporary transfer is a temporary transfer, not a direct merger.
"This Kaifeng meeting is probably the chairman's sword dance..." Xu Zuyi sighed, and there seemed to be something in his words.
"The chairman of the committee can be Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, but Han Fuqu is not as good as Pei Gong." Li Zongren said with a smile.
Everything the two of them talked about that day was in silence.
…
Commander Li Zongren did not break his promise. He sent someone to deliver the eight-gun battalion that afternoon, and it was towed by a car. From the looks of it, it was a gun belt and a car. The young officers at the regiment headquarters were almost overjoyed.
"How about it, Brother Fang Jie, am I right? As long as the commander feels good-looking and happy, anything can be done easily." Looking at these brand-new artillery pieces in front of him, Zhang Tianhai felt proud. Di said to Zhou Fangjie beside him.
"The regiment is still wise. Our regiment now also has an artillery battalion and four full infantry battalions. Plus these troops directly under the regiment headquarters, it is amazing. These troops directly under the regiment headquarters can all be combined into one The camp is over, we are now a veritable reinforced group." Zhou Fangjie said with emotion.
Zhou Fangjie originally thought that when he came to this newly formed unit, the weapons and equipment would be inferior, probably similar to those of the Northeast Army. However, he did not expect that the superiors would attach so much importance to this regiment and strengthen it as much as possible. Now it's enough to hurry up.
"Yes, when our unit is better trained, we can fight against the Japanese troops." Guo Qiliang also agreed.
Zhang Tianhai nodded very happily and said, "Well, we can't be too happy yet. We must seize the time to train our troops. Now all the anti-Japanese troops are coming to Xuzhou. The Sichuan Army Deng Xihou's troops alone have nearly 40,000 troops." They are concentrated near Xuzhou."
"Yes, at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will gather the commanders of each company to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, and then officially enter the training process. The commanders of each battalion will train the troops of each company on their behalf, so as not to relax the training of each unit, this supervision task will be Leave it to Chief of Staff Guo." Zhou Fangjie said. He also looks very upright. Although he is not as tall as Zhang Tianhai, he is not short at all, about 1.77 meters tall.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said, "Well, now that we have artillery battalions, infantry and artillery cooperative operations should also be trained as an important part of the training class, and the tactical cooperation between battalions and companies can also be discussed as a key system. .I have a hunch that the commander-in-chief will not give us too much time to complete the training. Now Commander Tang Enbo Tang's 20th Army Corps is also resting in the Shangqiu area. Although its troops have not yet been fully integrated into the battle order of the fifth theater, they are all based on the order of battle. Judging from its garrison location, once the war approaches Xuzhou, this unit will inevitably be placed under the jurisdiction of the fifth theater."
"I will definitely work with Chief of Staff Guo to train and lead the troops well!" Zhou Fangjie promised again.
"Yeah." Zhang Tianhai responded.
After returning to the room, Zhang Tianhai lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking about everything quietly.
People always have to follow the trend of the times. It is said that the times create heroes, not heroes. A hero may be able to make a trend, but without the support of the times, he will not be able to achieve the general trend. There will always be people behind him to add fuel to the fire.
As the saying goes, in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. It is about a process in which things accumulate repeatedly and add fuel to the flames.
Ever since the Nanjing breakout battle, Zhang Tianhai felt that the big hand of fate was slowly pushing him forward. All of this was a process that he had never been exposed to before - the ferocity of the Japanese army, and those... The scenes of the people groaning in pain under the iron hooves of the Japanese army seemed to have left a deep mark on Zhang Tianhai's mind.
The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters and the catkins float, and the life experience is ups and downs.
The homeland of the Chinese nation is being destroyed by the Japanese army. Countless Chinese people have embarked on the anti-Japanese battlefield. No matter which battlefield they are on, their original intention is the same - to expel the Japanese army and return the great land of China to us!
All these left a deep impression on Zhang Tianhai's mind. People who have not experienced that era will not understand why these people still go to the battlefield to die even though they know they are going to die. There is always something better than themselves. life is more important.
In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, millions of warriors came out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese, and millions of Bagui children went north to fight against the Japanese. In his previous life, Zhang Tianhai could only read about these things in books, but now he has experienced them in person. He has already witnessed these heroic actions. A lot more.
At a critical moment for the nation, the Chinese people stepped forward to fight the Japanese invaders to the end!
With Yan and Huang blood flowing through my body, I should be Chinese!
After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai fell into a deep sleep...
