"Reporting to the group, I have nothing to add to my humble position." Zhou Fangjie said.
"What about the others?" Zhang Tianhai looked at everyone again.
Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, but in the end no one expressed an opinion.
"Okay, if there is nothing else to add, let's adjourn the meeting. Adjourn the meeting!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai stood up and strode out.
After the meeting, Zhang Tianhai went directly to the Chen Mansion in the north of the city.
It was not to visit Chen Dazhi, but to tell Zheng Man, who was temporarily staying in the Chen Mansion, that he was going to Linyi.
Doing the math, Zheng Man has been living in the Chen Mansion for more than two weeks, and it can be said that he is fat and healthy. For this reason, Zhang Tianhai also gave Chen Dazhi money to express his gratitude.
But Chen Dazhi refused to accept anything, and said that Zhang Tianhai and the others stayed in Lanling County to resist Japan. If they accepted the money, they would be sorry to the people of Lanling.
In desperation, Zhang Tianhai could only continue to shamelessly let Zheng Man stay in Chen Mansion temporarily to protect the pregnancy.
…
The wind was blowing gently, carrying the chill of spring that had just left winter, blowing on the faces of Zhang Tianhai and others.
At this time, the snow has not yet melted, and the spring plowing has not yet begun. The dry leaves are hanging lonely on the trees that are already somewhat bare.
The horse's hooves lightly stepped on the loess, making a rustling sound. There was no lively smell around the place when spring came.
Zhang Tianhai was riding on the horse, but his eyes were constantly looking around and observing the surrounding terrain.
The closer to the front line, the more likely danger will occur. Although Zhang Tianhai has an impression of the Linyi Defense War, he can never guarantee that the direction of history will not change at all.
For example, the historical Battle of Linyi started in March 1938; another example is that the main forces in the historical Battle of Linyi were Pang Bingxun's Third Army and Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army. The previous security team of Zhang Liyuan was also normal.
But there is no record in history that this first regiment directly under the third theater participated in the battle.
The Third Theater was directly under the First Regiment because of Zhang Tianhai's time travel, and it only came into existence later, which meant that the trajectory of history had changed somewhat.
With the existence of such a German-armed reinforcement group, will the Japanese army pay special attention to their group? Then send special agents to understand the situation, and even attack the headquarters of the first regiment to paralyze the combat effectiveness of the regiment?
To sum up, all of the above are extremely possible. Zhang Tianhai cannot afford to take this risk, and there is no need to take this risk.
He is also about to have a family now. Zhang Tianhai cherishes his current life, and with his talent, it would be a pity if he was killed in an assassination.
This time when he went to Linyi, he was different from the past where Zhang Tianhai liked to go alone and make quick decisions - this time when he went to Linyi, he brought the whole battalion with him.
Bringing the first battalion not only adds a guarantee to his own safety, but also allows Commander Pang Bingxun to see the true strength of the first regiment directly under their third theater. Only in this way can they understand each other and understand each other during combat. Know yourself and your enemy.
"Gentlemen, we came out in such a hurry this time, but have you planned when to go back to Lanling?" Li Chunfei rode up to Zhang Tianhai and asked.
Zhang Tianhai sighed and said: "Well, it depends on the situation! If everything goes well, we can set off back to our group before noon tomorrow."
"Do you think this commander of the huge army can trust us? During the Central Plains War, our Central Army didn't spare any effort in beating them at the beginning. But they were beaten to death." Li Chunfei said worriedly.
Zhang Tianhai smiled and said: "Oh, you just worry too much. Those are all things that are rotten and rotten. Now we focus on the overall situation of the War of Resistance. After all, our regiment is also a regiment that strengthens moral weapons. In general, Is it better than those militia groups? Let me tell you, the commander of this huge army may be eager for us to come and communicate with them. "
"That makes sense." Li Chunfei nodded, then changed the subject and said, "Member of the group, what's going on with my sister-in-law now?"
"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Where can a grown man come from so much gossip? Order the troops to speed up the march. We must reach Linyi before dark!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai whipped his horse and ran forward. .
…
Linyi is a city with a relatively long history and culture. It faces the Yi River and was named Langya and Yizhou in ancient times.
This place is an important town in southern Shandong. It borders Rizhao to the east, Zaozhuang, Jining, and Tai'an to the west, Zibo and Weifang to the north, and Jiangsu to the south. It can be said to be the northwest barrier of Xuzhou, an important town in northern Jiangsu.
If Linyi is lost, the enemy's front can reach Taierzhuang directly.
The place name Taierzhuang has not been very famous throughout the ages. Only after the great victory of Taierzhuang did it become famous throughout the country.
However, the battle at Taierzhuang had not yet started, and naturally not many people paid attention to it. However, from a military perspective, Taierzhuang was the last barrier to the important town of Xuzhou - if Taierzhuang was lost, the Japanese army could directly invade Xuzhou.
Therefore, Linyi's strategic location is not unimportant. Otherwise, Li Zongren would not have had to deploy six regiments of troops to guard the Linyi area. If the later first regiment directly under the third theater was added, there would be a total of seven regiments. .
Among the seven regiments, there is also a reinforced regiment with a combined strength of nearly 19,000 people.
At this time, Linyi, like most cities in China at that time, had not yet begun to move towards a modern city. Its city was also antique, as can be seen from its outer city wall, which was still made of bluestone and bricks. .
The only difference from Lanling City is that Linyi's city walls and scale are much larger. After all, this is a county with a large population and an important transportation area. Its economy and other aspects are not comparable to that of Lanling, a small county at this time. .
In addition to being larger in size, the garrison is also different. The soldiers on top of the city are all from the Northwest Army wearing iron-gray military uniforms.
Perhaps the people of the Northwest are used to the wind and cold, so the Northwest troops on the city wall all stood very upright. In addition to carrying a rifle on their back, the most obvious thing is that they also carried a rifle on their back. A large knife.
The Northwest Army is most famous for its Broadsword Team, so even after the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang left the field, but the Northwest Army still inherited the tradition of the Broadsword Team.
Pang Bingxun's Third Army and Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army are the most typical examples. They both carry a big sword on their backs, which is quite similar to the lyrics in the song "March of the Big Sword": "Big Sword" Cut off the heads of the devils..."
Zhang Tianhai was riding a war horse and was slowly walking forward with the officers and soldiers of the regiment and battalion.
In fact, the forward sentry already knew that a Central Army unit came from the direction of Lanling to discuss important matters with Commander Pang Bingxun, so the brothers of the 40th Army did not show much surprise.
"These Northwest troops must have just changed their uniforms, right? Look at them. The previous Northwest troops were not that rich." Li Chunfei said in a low voice while riding next to Zhang Tianhai.
"You have never participated in the Central Plains War. Why do you seem to be so precious to the Northwest Army's belongings?" Zhang Tianhai frowned and said, he was really curious.
"Hey, Tuanzuo, this doesn't mean much. In fact, I lived with relatives in western Henan for a while. At that time, Chief Feng's Northwest Army occupied our county. So. I have a very deep impression. Ever since I joined the army, I can roughly understand what happened at that time." Li Chunfei was straightforward and said it directly.
"I see. It seems that the situation in Linyi is not as bad as we thought." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, holding on to his military cap.
