Zhang Tianhai did not dare to disobey Chief Xu's warning, so he quickly asked Guo Qiliang to take charge of the aftermath. Then he immediately took the security team and rushed to Linyi.
"Oh, time has not waited for me..." Zhang Tianhai sighed in his heart.
More than a dozen war horses galloped on the plain, raising a puff of smoke. Zhang Tianhai took the lead, and a dozen soldiers from the guard squad followed closely behind on their horses.
After a while, Zhang Tianhai led these dozen guards outside the compound of the Linyi Front Combat Command.
"You guys, wait for me here." After saying that, Zhang Tianhai strode towards the headquarters.
But what made Zhang Tianhai feel very bad was that when he was about to enter, he was stopped by the guard at the door: "I'm sorry, sir. Please show me your ID."
Zhang Tianhai wanted to get angry. After all, this was not the first time he had come here, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go: this was also within the scope of his responsibilities. Swearing a few words seemed to show that his quality was a bit low.
So, Zhang Tianhai suppressed his anxious mood, took out the officer's ID card from the pocket in front of him, handed it to the guard in front of him and said: "Boy, watch it. I am the commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater. Zhang Tianhai, Chief Xu has come to me with important military matters, you’d better hurry up!”
After the guard took the certificate, he took a look at it, immediately stood up and saluted, returned the certificate to Zhang Tianhai, then moved out of the way and said: "Sir, please!"
After Zhang Tianhai took the certificate, he put it away and walked inside.
As in its previous location, the Linyi Frontline Operations Headquarters is located in a courtyard with a height of only two floors, and the headquarters' operations conference room is on the second floor.
When Zhang Tianhai walked to the second floor, only Xu Zuyi and a few of his staff and advisers were waiting here, and their expressions were not good.
Even though he knew that he would be sprayed with blood by Chief Xu, Zhang Tianhai could only go in bravely.
Walking up to Xu Zuyi, who was still studying the military map, Zhang Tianhai clicked and saluted a very standard military salute: "Hello, Sir Xu! I am humble, the commander of the first regiment directly under the third war zone, Zhang Tianhai, is ordered to salute you. check in!"
After hearing the sound, Xu Zuyi did not lift up immediately. Instead, he left Zhang Tianhai aside and continued to talk to his staff about the possible direction of the Japanese army.
Zhang Tianhai also knew that Chief Xu was trying to show his face. After all, mobilizing troops to leave the position without asking for instructions was a very disrespectful act for the commander. If he was seriously investigated, it would be serious. Transferred to a military court and then subject to review and imprisonment.
"The main force of the Japanese fifth division, the Sakamoto brigade, has been annihilated by our army in the Linyi area. It should not be able to continue southward in a short time. Commander Xu, in his humble opinion, believes that the large army gathered in the Linyi area can be dispersed, leaving only the third The Forty Army and one of the main brigade of the Fifty-ninth Army can assist in the defense. Now the Japanese army on the front of Jinpu Road is approaching fiercely and breaks through Teng County, which is defended by the 41st Army of our 22nd Group Army. Its main force is They are swooping towards Taierzhuang, the outer barrier of Xuzhou. Now is the time when troops are urgently needed to defend Taierzhuang." One of the handsome-looking young officers said, looking at his rank, he was a major.
"Well, I think so too." Xu Zuyi said seriously.
Just when Zhang Tianhai was in a daze, Xu Zuyi suddenly asked Zhang Tianhai: "Captain Zhang, what do you think?"
Xu Zuyi's voice almost shocked Zhang Tianhai. He asked blankly: "What do you think...?"
"That's what Staff Officer Li said just now." Xu Zuyi said patiently to Zhang Tianhai, holding back the urge to get angry.
After a while, Zhang Tianhai came back to his senses and said: "Oh... Oh, I also believe that the Japanese Fifth Division will not be able to go south in a short time. Gathering forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy protruding from the front of Jinpu Road is the most important thing at the moment. .”
"Well, it seems that you are not that ignorant, and you can generally see the situation clearly. Yesterday at your regiment headquarters, I didn't have the nerve to speak too harshly of you, but now you are finally here." With that said, Xu Zuyi said to the others: "Others, go out for a moment. I have important matters to discuss with Captain Zhang."
"Yes, sir!" the staff members responded, and then looked at Zhang Tianhai with pitiful eyes. They all knew that Chief Xu was going to make a bigger move.
Well, just angry.
"Well, Chief Xu, let's agree first that if anything happens, we won't slap him in the face..." Zhang Tianhai said with a guilty conscience.
"Don't worry about this, I don't like hitting people." Xu Zuyi took a deep breath and said.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai finally felt relieved: It is very important to meet a high-quality officer...
"Do you know, kid, that you almost let go of the remaining troops of Sakamoto Brigade? If they even have the slightest idea of evacuating, this enemy force can escape." Xu Zuyi said, looking at Zhang Tianhai who looked guilty.
"Sir, I know, but I don't think they can evacuate." Zhang Tianhai straightened his face and said.
"Oh? Do you still have a reason? Then tell me, do you think there is a possibility that they will not evacuate." Xu Zuyi asked angrily and funny.
Zhang Tianhai looked straight ahead, cleared his throat and said: "Sir, this Japanese army is coming fiercely to capture Linyi to counter the main force of the Japanese army on Jinpu Road. The commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki, has always been arrogant and conceited. He is an extremely arrogant person, as can be seen from the crazy move he dared to make at Xinkou, where he used half a division to fight against the 200,000-strong Chinese army."
Before Xu Zuyi could speak, Zhang Tianhai continued: "If one soldier is a coward, a whole bunch of them will be cowarded. Judging from Itagaki Seishiro's arrogance, the troops under his command are absolutely humble. Therefore, in order to maintain their so-called Glory, these Japanese troops will never do it when they think they have an absolutely superior force."
"The analysis is very good, go on." Xu Zuyi narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Tianhai closely, trying to see if this kid was kidding.
"Yes, sir." Zhang Tianhai responded, and then continued: "When the Japanese army was in North China, they dared to make crazy moves like a regiment chasing a division. In their view, even if we surprise Tangtou Town , and they have absolute confidence to take it back. What they are betting on is their arrogance."
"Gamble?" Xu Zuyi quickly caught a very key word.
"Yes, it's a gamble. What's more, since Tangtou Town has been captured at that time, it is impossible to give up the position to the enemy. If we give up the position to the enemy, it will give the enemy a bridgehead to attack Linyi!" Zhang Tianhai was not conscious. Even though he had already spilled the beans, he still kept talking happily.
"Bastard thing!"
Xu Zuyi looked at Zhang Tianhai with anger on his face, and slapped the table hard with a slap, making a loud noise immediately.
"You kid mobilized troops to abandon the position without reporting it. If the enemy becomes cautious because of a big loss, and if you let this enemy go, do you know how much impact it will have on the entire Xuzhou defense battle? Do you know , can you shoulder this responsibility?!" Xu Zuyi said angrily, I have long heard that Zhang Tianhai is a bit arrogant and conceited, but he also has his own way of doing things. Today I saw that it was true, but this arrogance is not a thing Good thing.
Indeed, at this point, I have to say that Chief Xu Zuyi is very accurate in judging people. If Zhang Tianhai was not such a proud and conceited person, he would not be able to do such a thing as directly shooting at Sun Yuanliang in Nanjing, and he would not be able to do anything but take him with him. A company of special agents dared to break through south of Nanjing.
If you have the ability and strong personal heroism, it will be a good thing on a small battlefield and you can win a big battle; but it may not be a good thing on a big battlefield. Unauthorized mobilization of troops will cause the battlefield situation to become confusing and lead to the defeat of the battle. .
Defeat in a major battle will affect the fate of the country. Losing troops and losing territory will not mean such small losses as a county, a battalion, or a regiment.
Xu Zuyi met Zhang Tianhai when they went to Kaifeng and accepted his command, so he did not hope that Zhang Tianhai, a man with military talents, would end up being reviled by all the people because of his pride and arrogance.
Therefore, regarding Zhang Tianhai's previous battle report issue, he even had a special phone call with Li Zongren to explain the seriousness of the matter.
Therefore, the two big bosses of the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department decided: when reporting in newspapers, they would downplay the role of Zhang Tianhai's department, but the rewards and pensions that should be given should be given to Zhang Tianhai. If they need replenishment, they will be replenished, and if they need ammunition, they will be given ammunition, so as not to chill their anti-Japanese spirit.
Ever since, there was a scene where Xu Zu scolded Zhang Tianhai.
Listening to Chief Xu's roar, Zhang Tianhai did not dare to say anything. After all, he had made a mistake, and he had to stand up straight when he was beaten. What's more, what Chief Xu said makes sense, doesn't it?
Looking at Zhang Tianhai's silent expression, Xu Zuyi felt a little calmer: It seems that this kid is not fearless...
Xu Zuyi sighed and said earnestly: "Captain Zhang, you are already a military officer, and you are no longer the fledgling boy you were when you just left the military academy. You should also know that the battlefield is not a stage for personal bravery. If you are not careful, we may all be reviled for eternity. Therefore, you must think carefully before doing anything. This time, downplaying the contribution of your department is not only due to the military impact, but also for you. Are you willing to accept a personal punishment?"
"Yes! I understand my humble position, and I am willing to accept the punishment!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted. He also knew that he had made a very bad start, and it was the best to get this result.
Xu Zuyi nodded and said: "You should immediately write a detailed description of the battlefield battle and a report on your work. You can only leave after writing!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tianhai responded with a bitter look on his face.
