When he walked out of the city defense headquarters, Zhang Tianhai felt very heavy - I hope there will be no bloody conflicts this time. After all, these brothers of the Third Group Guard Regiment are all top-notch elites. If If you really lose yourself in this conflict, the gains outweigh the losses.
Zhang Tianhai's station is at Dawangzhuang, east of Qingqiu Slope, which is only three kilometers away from Qingqiu Slope. With a quick march from Dawangzhuang, it only takes less than half an hour to set up the formation.
When they returned to the south city gate, Zhou Fangjie and others were already waiting here.
Zhang Tianhai didn't say much else, he just asked Staff Officer Yang to take them to Dawangzhuang, and then a group of people from the same group followed behind.
Dawangzhuang is a large village located southeast of the ancient city of Kaifeng. This village is relatively large, with about two thousand villagers.
Precisely because this village is large, the troops directly under the First Regiment can enter without any pressure.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already five o'clock in the morning.
"Tomorrow at 12 o'clock at noon, we will gather at the regiment headquarters on time for an emergency meeting." Zhang Tianhai said to the officers above the rank of major in front of him.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
The regiment headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment was set up in the courtyard of a larger household in Dawangzhuang Village. Zhang Tianhai naturally lived in the courtyard where the regiment headquarters was located.
Inside the house, the dim kerosene lamp used its full strength to emit its own light, even though it was not very bright.
Sitting on a chair in the room and smoking a cigarette, Zhang Tianhai's face was not ordinary. It can be seen from the cigarette butts in his makeshift ashtray that he was not in an ordinary mood: not just because of the possibility It is heartbreaking to annihilate this elite group of Han Fuqu Guards, especially because if there is bloodshed and sacrifice, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Every officer and soldier in this regiment was snatched back from the front line by him. They did not die on the front line. If they died in the hands of his own people, it would really be a loss worth the loss.
After finishing another cigarette, Zhang Tianhai finally made his final decision: "No, I will never let this turn into a bloodshed incident!"
After stubbing out the cigarette, Zhang Tianhai took off his shoes and prepared to go to bed and sleep first. As for taking a bath and so on, let's do it tomorrow!
Before Zhang Tianhai could lie down, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Tianhai opened the door and saw Zheng Man, who had already washed himself, appeared at the door carrying a basin of hot water.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Zhang Tianhai frowned and asked softly, somewhat blamingly.
"From the moment I got on the train in Xuzhou, I saw something was wrong with your expression. I was worried, so I came here." Zheng Man said with concern.
It's just that I don't know since when, the fox fairy temperament in Zheng Man slowly began to fade away, and even the royal sister charm slowly disappeared, and instead she looked like a girl who loves others like a bird.
Sometimes even Zhang Tianhai can't help but wonder in his heart: Is this the fox fairy descending to earth? And the kind that came down to earth for me, Zhang Yulin?
The weather at this time is still very cold, especially after a snowfall two days ago, the snow on the ground has not yet gone away.
"Come in, look at you, it's such a cold day, why don't you bring me some water and you're not afraid of catching a cold?" Zhang Tianhai took the washbasin from Zheng Man's hand and said, his words full of concern. .
Zheng Man walked in and didn't forget to close the door. It was cold, so it had to be like this, otherwise the heat would dissipate.
"Wipe yourself quickly. You can rest early." Zheng Man picked up Zhang Tianhai's handkerchief and put it into the basin. She looked like his little wife.
Seeing Zheng Man wanting to help him wipe it, Zhang Tianhai quickly said: "No, I'm not used to it. I've been in the army alone for a long time, and I'm really not used to having someone to serve me."
"Well, then you should get used to it slowly!" With that said, Zheng Man sat beside Zhang Tianhai's bed. It seemed that he didn't plan to go back to his room tonight.
"Yeah." Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then started to wash his face, feet, and body.
Soon, Zhang Tianhai took off his clothes and lay on the bed. Zheng Man had already warmed the bed.
"By the way, why are you so depressed today? Is it because there is a new task assigned?" Zheng Man asked, and gently put his arm around his waist.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, anyway, this matter will be announced at the meeting at noon tomorrow. In addition, Zheng Man will not go back to his room to sleep tonight, and it is impossible to leak the information, so he said: "Yes , a new task has been assigned, and it is a very difficult task. I will officially announce it at noon tomorrow."
"Difficult? It seems that the Japanese army hasn't reached Kaifeng yet, right? Aren't they still in Luxi and Luzhong?" Zheng Man said with some distress. After all, people like Zhang Tianhai would not complain easily. Even when they attacked Songhu, I didn't hear him complain during the Battle of Nanjing or the Nanjing Breakout Battle.
If people who don't complain easily do complain, it proves that the task is really difficult and difficult to complete.
"It is precisely because the opponent is not the Japanese army that we find it difficult. Commander Liu of the first theater also specially strengthened an independent artillery regiment during this mission and mobilized two divisions to coordinate the operation. Do you think this mission is difficult? ?" Zhang Tianhai said softly with a wry smile.
Hearing the news, Zheng Man was not surprised at all, but his eyes were filled with distress. Then he hugged Zhang Tianhai tightly, buried his head in his chest, and said: "No matter how difficult this task is, I will be with you." Face it, you are not alone, you have me and our baby by your side."
"Baby?!" Zhang Tianhai's eyes widened, as if full of expectation.
"I lied to you. Even if it doesn't happen now, there will always be in the future." Zheng Man raised her head and looked at Zhang Tianhai and said. Her beautiful eyes seemed to contain a splendid galaxy and beauty, but every bit of it was him.
Looking at Zheng Man's cute but beautiful look, he whispered in his heart that he would cherish her and protect her throughout his life.
Seeing that Zhang Tianhai didn't speak, Zheng Man wrinkled his nose, then gently pinched the former's nose and said, "Go to sleep. It will be better if you go to bed earlier in the morning, otherwise you will not be energetic during the meeting."
"Um……"
…
The sun is rising again one day. Compared with yesterday's temperature, the temperature today seems to be higher. At least you can see the sun, right?
This time, Zhang Tianhai slept particularly soundly. He had not slept so peacefully for a long time, maybe it was because of his peace of mind.
I asked if Lingnan was not good, but he said: This place where I feel at ease is my hometown.
The noon meeting was held as usual at the regiment headquarters.
Zhang Tianhai was about to oversleep, but Zheng Man woke him up. After all, it was a big deal.
"Everyone, are everyone here?" Sitting in the main seat, Zhang Tianhai tapped his index finger on the table while looking around at the people in front of him.
"Reporting to the regiment, all the military officers of the combat troops directly under the regiment have arrived!" Liu Houming, standing next to Zhang Tianhai, reported loudly. After taking charge of the newly established special agent company, his backbone was obviously much stronger. .
"Okay, now it is officially announced that the chairman of the committee has issued a combat order!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai stood up first, and the other officers immediately stood up.
After seeing everyone stand up, Zhang Tianhai picked up a folder with the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal printed on it and read aloud: "The third theater is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment. Your department will follow the chief of staff of the fifth theater, Chief Zuyi. After entering Kaifeng, you will enter the first level of combat readiness. Your department's mission is to guard the headquarters of the third group army entering the city. If there is any abnormal movement of the army's headquarters, your department can immediately annihilate them all on the spot! The order is announced complete!"
When Zhang Tianhai announced this order, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed and became heavy, and it was almost audible.
"Now, our regiment's troops will immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness. After the meeting begins tomorrow, we will complete the encirclement of the Third Group Army's guard regiment with the 87th and 88th divisions of the 71st Army. ! Do you understand?!" Zhang Tianhai asked loudly.
"Understood! Leader!!" All the officers present responded in unison, with murderous intent.
Before Zhang Tianhai could sit down, the guard platoon leader Xu Sangou ran in and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, Liu Anguo, the commander of the 44th Independent Artillery Regiment of the First Theater Zone, wants to see you!"
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Okay, please invite me quickly!"
After taking a look at the officers who were still standing, Zhang Tianhai said: "Sit down first and wait until Commander Liu of the 44th Independent Artillery Regiment comes in before announcing the specific combat plan!"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
After Zhang Tianhai walked out of the temporary conference room, the officers began to look at each other, and they all saw the shock on each other's faces: This news came so unexpectedly, even Deputy Commander Zhou didn't receive any news, and it was still a big news. action!
Two divisions plus an independent artillery regiment, plus the troops directly under the first regiment of their third theater, this battle is not small. The combined strength is nearly 30,000 troops. This is to annihilate the guards of the third group army. group? !
"Hey, sister-in-law, why haven't you heard the group talk about it before?" Li Chunfei asked Zheng Mandao sitting next to him in a low voice.
Zheng Man smiled very politely and said: "You have to ask the team leader about this. I just learned the news. This is a major operation and must be a secret and an order, so it is normal for you and me not to know."
"Chief of Staff, what do you think of this matter?" Zhou Fangjie, who was sitting on the left side of Zhang Tianhai, asked Guo Qiliang, who was sitting opposite.
"How else can we look at it? Since it is the principal's order, how can we disobey it? Just do it and that's it." Guo Qiliang said.
