"Haha, this person will always grow up, right? We have known each other for so long, so a little change is normal, right?" Zhang Tianhai chuckled awkwardly. After all, time travel is his biggest secret, and he also Don't want anyone to know, even a little bit close.
"Oh, okay, okay, you just can't say anything." Guo Qiliang also knew that this guy wanted to interrupt, so he might as well follow his wishes and interrupt.
…
The trains at this time were not as fast as the trains of later generations. Being able to maintain a speed of 30 hours was considered an Amitabha.
The sound of the moving train whined, and the wheels pressed against the rails, making a clanging and clanging sound, which was very harsh in the dark night.
The distance from Xuzhou to Kaifeng is not that far, but because of the slow train speed, it still took more than eight hours to get to Kaifeng.
Similar to Xuzhou, Nanjing and other places, Kaifeng's railway station is also located on the outskirts of the city. This is related to the unique characteristics of this era - although it was the Republic of China at this time, the atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty was still there, especially in There are buildings, city gates and walls, and as a historical city, Kaifeng is a typical example.
Because the development of the ancient city area is different from that of emerging cities such as Shanghai. The space in the ancient city is limited, so you cannot just find a place to be used as a train station. The area occupied by the railway will also affect transportation, etc. Therefore, places like Nanjing, Xuzhou and Typical ancient cities such as Kaifeng can only locate their train stations on the outskirts of the city.
By the time Zhang Tianhai and others got off the bus, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
At this time, it should have been quiet at night, but the Kaifeng Railway Station was full of people and very busy. After all, the war in Xuzhou was urgent, and materials from all parties had to be transported to the front line in Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Although Xuzhou is rich, it is not easy to support the food and drink of nearly 100,000 troops, so it has to transport food, troops, weapons and ammunition from other places.
All in all, Xuzhou is now a large military camp, and it is also a military camp with more than 100,000 troops!
Being located hundreds of kilometers away from such a large military camp, it was natural to have to transport some supplies there.
"Quick, quick, everyone gather!!!"
The junior officers of each battalion were shouting hysterically. After all, after getting off the bus, the regiment commander ordered someone to blow the whistle for assembly. There was also the commander of the theater, Chief of Staff Xu, who could not be lost. Tuan’s face.
The headquarters of the First War Zone, which had already received orders from Chief Xu Zuyi of the Fifth War Zone to come to Kaifeng for a meeting, had already sent personnel to wait here.
The person who came to pick up Xu Zuyi and his party was a major. According to his family report, he was the staff officer of the Adjutant's Department of the First Theater Command. Liu Zhi, the deputy commander of the First Theater, sent him here to pick up Chief Xu and his party.
"Sir Xu, please get in the car!" The major staff officer opened the door of the car and made an inviting gesture to Xu Zuyi.
After Xu Zuyi got on the bus, he did not forget to wave to Zhang Tianhai and said: "Zhang Yulin, come up too!"
Zhang Tianhai was stunned for a moment, originally thinking that riding in the same car with his superior was beyond his control.
"Come up, why are you still standing there?" Seeing Zhang Tianhai's dazed look, Xu Zuyi shouted again.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Tianhai responded and quickly followed the car.
"Vice Captain Zhou, just bring the troops to gather at the South Gate of Kaifeng! We will have other arrangements then." Xu Zuyi said to Zhou Fangjie who was waiting outside the car.
"Yes! Sir!" Zhou Fangjie responded.
Soon, the car started and headed towards Kaifeng.
In addition to a company running forward in front, there was also a guard company following the troops behind them. It can be seen that the first theater headquarters still attaches great importance to the personal safety of the officers of the fifth theater.
After all, it was difficult to find many talents like Chief of Staff Xu in the Republic of China.
It's just that the cars of this era are far less comfortable than the cars of the 21st century. Especially the car that Zhang Tianhai was equipped with in the army in his previous life was a domineering Middle Eastern version. Not only did it have good suspension and shock absorption, it also had an air bag for shock absorption. .
If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. This is probably the truth!
But this is not the point. The point is that it does not affect the effect of speaking.
"Staff Xiao Yang, has Chief Liu told me how to arrange the regiment that followed me from Xuzhou?" Xu Zuyi sat in the back seat and slowly asked the commander of the first theater who came to greet them. Adjutant-General Staff.
Staff Officer Yang turned to Xu Zuyi and said: "Please don't worry about this issue, Chief Xu. I will naturally arrange it properly. When I pass the City Defense Headquarters, I will send someone to take Commander Zhang to the City Defense Headquarters to understand the situation." .”
"Okay, you can make your own arrangements." After saying that, Xu Zuyi turned to Zhang Tianhai and said: "You still have one day to rest. I estimate that after finishing all these things tonight, it will be already five in the morning." That is to say, in less than twenty-four hours, you will have to gather and prepare. The meeting will be held at nine o'clock. You must be fully prepared to rest in case of unexpected events. "
"Yes, sir. I understand the humble position." As he said that, Zhang Tianhai nodded towards Xu Zuyi. What he meant was that he would definitely cooperate with friendly forces in their actions. If the Third Army Guard Group did anything inappropriate, he would immediately follow the Chairman's order. Annihilate them all.
Xu Zuyi nodded and said: "As long as you understand. Officer Xiao Yang, what is the situation in Kaifeng City now?"
Staff Officer Yang replied: "Everything is fine in the city. City defense measures have been taken. Commander-in-Chief Han of the Third Army has also entered the city with his pistol company, and his guard regiment is stationed outside the city. Accompanying Also coming is Sun Tongxuan, Commander of the Twelfth Army."
"Oh? Sun Tongxuan is here too? Then where is his Twelfth Army?" Obviously, Xu Zuyi was a little shocked when he heard the news that Sun Tongxuan had also come.
As the Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone, Xu Zuyi naturally knew Han Fuqu's Third Army well. If Sun Tongxuan could appear at this time, it must be that Han Fuqu was alert to this meeting.
You must know that Sun Tongxuan is not only the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Army and the commander of the Twelfth Army, but also Han Fuqu's number one confidant.
"The Twelfth Army has stationed itself in Lanfeng County (today's Lankao County), more than a hundred miles east of Kaifeng City." Staff Yang said truthfully. Since he could be sent by Liu Zhi to greet Xu Zuyi and his party, So naturally it is one of them that can be trusted.
Xu Zuyi let out a long sigh and seemed to be talking to himself: "Lanfeng County, this is a good place. It is less than 60 kilometers away from Kaifeng. If there is a war, it is completely possible to rush to Kaifeng's aid within three hours. of."
As an outstanding chief of staff, Xu Zuyi was quite solid in basic military skills. When Staff Officer Yang told the location of the Twelfth Army, he understood what Han Fuqu wanted to do.
All Han Fuqu did was to save Xiang Shang's head. After all, he retreated and defended Jinan without fighting, causing the Yellow River to surrender to the enemy. This crime was too big, and he couldn't help but be careless.
