For Itagaki Seishiro, the military failure in the Linyi area, and it was a major defeat, had an impact on his personal future.
Although the influence of the Imperial Faction is no longer what it used to be, as the backbone of the Control Faction, he would have had the opportunity to climb to a higher position. If he had been verbally criticized by other factions because of this defeat, , and if it affects the future, it is not worth the loss.
Especially the Huangdao faction who was tragically ousted in the "226" coup.
For Seishiro Itagaki, the three main regiments of the Fifth Division suffered heavy losses, especially Katano Sadami's 11th regiment, which was completely wiped out by the Chinese army on the Linyi battlefield! This is a very shameful thing!
Yes, Itagaki Seishiro did win consecutive battles after entering the battlefield in mainland China. He was once known as a famous general of the Japanese army. This defeat also caused the Fifth Division to be unable to move south in a short period of time.
The only good thing is that the 21st Regiment and the 42nd Regiment did not suffer this fate because they had previously deployed their troops to other battlefields.
When Seishiro Itagaki was worried about his repeated defeats, Zhang Tianhai couldn't laugh anymore and was dragging his heavy body back to the regiment headquarters. At this time, Zhang Tianhai had ordered Wang Ziqing's third battalion to station in Tangtou Town to deal with the capture. weapons.
"Reporting to the group, a stubborn enemy was found in a house in the city, hiding in the inner room and refusing to come out. Do you want to persuade them to surrender and then capture them?" A staff officer ran over and reported to Zhang Tianhai.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai was upset. He waved his hand impatiently and said: "What are you capturing? They came to China to burn, kill, and plunder. If they were not alive, it would be an advantage for them. Order Wang Ziqing to remove their bodies." I brought the machine gun battery to me and leveled this house. If it doesn't level the house, I will remove him from his post! Just tell him the truth!"
"Yes! Head of the group!" the staff officer said with a chill in his heart.
In Zhang Tianhai's view, these Japanese soldiers have their hands stained with the blood of Chinese people and are unforgivable!
Didn’t you see the blood-stained Yangtze River during the Nanjing Massacre?
Zhang Tianhai led his troops to fight out of Nanjing, and was particularly impressed by the ferocity of the Japanese army. If he hadn't stayed with the spy company at that time, he could still dream about the 300,000 innocent souls in Nanjing in his dreams. Ask him: Sir, why don't you save us...
But now he has worked hard and has no regrets. What's more, Zhang Tianhai is just a small regiment leader. He can't fight against the Japanese army of hundreds of thousands!
But the hatred that comes with it can never be reduced. Only people who have experienced that era can deeply understand the feeling of hatred between the country and the family, and the whole people fighting to the death!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai doesn't want these little devils to live. Isn't it a waste of food to let them live?
Not long after, Zhang Tianhai returned to the regiment headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment. After returning to the regiment headquarters, he lay down in the hammock and slept.
Looking at Zhang Tianhai, who was covered in blood and with holes in his clothes, Zheng Man felt a burst of heartache inexplicably. She wanted to go over and ask about the situation, but she was afraid of disturbing Zhang Tianhai while sleeping, so he could only ask Following Zhang Tianhai was the equally embarrassed Liu Houming.
"Adjutant Liu, how is the captain doing?" Zheng Man frowned slightly and asked with worry on his face.
Liu Houming straightened his hat and said: "The regiment leader is fine, he is just a little tired. During the charge in the morning, the regiment leader rushed too fast and rushed directly in front of us. The regiment leader's physical strength is too good. We can’t even chase them away.”
Zheng Man nodded and said, "Then you should go down and have a rest! The troops have been fighting for so long, it's time for the brothers to rest."
"Yes." Liu Houming nodded and walked out.
After fighting for so long, even the combat staff who stayed behind at the regiment headquarters were exhausted, let alone the combat troops fighting on the front line. Guo Qiliang, who had also not slept all night, sat in front of the phone with red eyes. , I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
Soon, the phone number at the regiment headquarters rang, and Guo Qiliang woke up immediately as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Guo Qiliang directly picked up the phone and said: "Hello, this is the regiment headquarters, I am Guo Qiliang."
An equally tired voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hello, Chief of Staff Guo, I'm Zhou Fangjie, is the team here?"
Guo Qiliang glanced at Zhang Tianhai, who was already sleeping, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The regiment leader fell asleep and just came back. In the early morning, he personally led the second battalion and the special agent company to launch a fierce attack on the enemy from behind the Japanese army. , it seems like there are several small wounds on his body..."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Fangjie nodded and said, "Okay! Let's not disturb the group's rest for now. Let me tell you two things first. The first thing is that the Third Battalion just discovered the Japanese army in Tangtou Town. In the arsenal, a small number of guns and a large amount of ammunition were found, including many 38-type field artillery shells and a large number of grenade shells, filling four annexes;
The second thing is about the casualties of the Tangtou Town garrison. There are only fifty-six people left in the first battalion, which is almost exhausted. The fourth battalion is in a state of more than half casualties, especially the machine gun battery. In addition to Except for the mortars, the heavy machine gunners were all wiped out. "
"Yes. I understand. This matter is relatively important. I will report it to the team leader first. Don't hang up the phone yet." Guo Qiliang said.
"Okay, I'll wait here. You go ahead!" Zhou Fangjie responded.
After receiving Zhou Fangjie's reply, Guo Qiliang immediately went to wake up Zhang Tianhai and told the latter the news from the front line.
Who would have thought that after Zhang Tianhai heard the news, he immediately woke up. He got down from the hammock, walked directly to the phone, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Tianhai, Zhou." Deputy Commander, are you still there?"
"Yes, group seat." The voice on the phone was still slightly tired.
"Now I am giving you an order. This is the most important thing. You must do it well." Zhang Tianhai said very seriously.
Hearing Zhang Tianhai's righteous words, Zhou Fangjie's heart trembled and he said: "Please give me your order, Fang Jie will carry it out to the end and will never let you down!"
"Immediately order the Third Battalion to seal off this arsenal. It is best to send a company of troops to guard it. Without my order, even if Chief Xu Zuyi comes, don't open it! In addition, don't tell others that this is an arsenal. ! Give a sealing order!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, very decisively!
Just kidding, this Tangtou Town was captured by Zhang Tianhai's Zhiyi Regiment, why should he give them friendly forces? For Zhang Tianhai, a "money addict", even if Pang Bingxun, an acquaintance of mine, comes, if I have extra firearms and ammunition, I can give some to you, but you want our scarce supplies, sorry, we are not familiar with each other. .
This decision was already made by Zhang Tianhai when he came back - the cost of leading his troops to attack Tangtou Town was too high, which led to a large number of Japanese troops returning for reinforcements and launching a fierce attack on the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment, which resulted in The troops suffered heavy casualties.
Zhang Tianhai knew that after this battle, his strength would be severely damaged.
"Yes! Group seats!" After saying that, Zhou Fangjie hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Zhang Tianhai looked at Guo Qiliang next to him and asked, "Did Deputy Commander Zhou just talk about the casualties of the Tangtou Town garrison?"
Guo Qidian nodded and said: "As I said, there are only fifty-six people left in the first battalion, and the fourth battalion has already suffered more than half of its casualties. The machine gun companies of both battalions are in a disabled state, except for the forced If you shoot the artillery soldiers, all the other soldiers will be killed.”
After hearing the news, Zhang Tianhai's face, which was very excited about "making a fortune", suddenly collapsed. He said: "No, I have to go to the first battalion to check the situation!"
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai walked directly out. Although he only slept for ten minutes, he still had to squint his eyes and recovered a lot of energy.
Zhang Tianhai's footsteps were in a hurry. After all, this was the battalion he had high hopes for and suffered such heavy casualties. He didn't know what Li Chunfei's condition was now.
Li Chunfei was Zhang Tianhai's number one confidant and one of the most trusted people. It would be so sad if Li Chunfei was also killed in this battle.
Li Chunfei usually seems to be laughing and joking, and sometimes he doesn't even have a formal appearance, but Zhang Tianhai knows that this is a tough guy, otherwise he wouldn't have placed the largest proportion of the veterans who fought with him from Nanjing in the first battalion. .
Well, to put it in plain language, Zhang Tianhai’s pet peeve is from the whole battalion...
After walking out of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Tianhai took Xu Sangou and the guard platoon directly to Tangtou Town. Now the secret service company had suffered a lot of losses, and after a night of fighting, it was time for the secret service company to take a rest.
"Tour leader, are you okay? I just saw the big guy Liu Houming, and he didn't look very good." Xu Sangou asked as he followed Zhang Tianhai.
Zhang Tianhai was in the most anxious mood at this time, so he casually replied to Xu Sangou: "That's natural. After all, the secret service company also suffered many casualties in the hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army in the early hours of this morning."
"Oh, I understand." Xu Sangou responded as he followed Zhang Tianhai, and then moved forward without making any sound.
…
Just when Zhang Tianhai went to Tangtou Town, Linyi frontline commander Xu Zuyi and others also received news of the victory of the frontline battle. The three officers were full of excitement and went straight downstairs to get in their off-road vehicles and drive to Tangtou Town inspected the situation.
To say how excited Xu Zuyi was about the victory of the battle on the front line, he directly asked the driver to prepare the car and went directly to the Linyi front line without even taking the guard battalion with him.
Since the July 7th Incident, the Chinese army has suffered too many defeats. The frontline troops are in urgent need of a vivid victory to boost their morale!
