"To be honest, our regiment suffered heavy losses in this battle. The casualties of the three thousand combat troops actually reached more than 1,700, and even almost reached more than 1,800 casualties. In addition to this, , the Lanling City Defense Battalion will also be expanded from two battalions to three battalions. Therefore, there is currently a huge shortage of soldiers. If it were not for this reason, I would not bother Mr. Chen at this time." Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile.
After hearing the following news, Chen Dazhi's originally sleepy eyes suddenly became energetic and said: "Oh? The city defense camp has two camps divided into three camps? Can the equipment be followed? Yes? Because Commander Zhang did not expand the two city defense battalions into security groups for this reason before."
"Honestly! This time we won a big victory, and our regiment also seized a large amount of Japanese weapons and equipment. Because of the merits of the battle, Commander Xu put this batch of captured military supplies into our department for safekeeping and distribution. It can be like this Just tell me, as long as there are people, there must be guns." Zhang Tianhai said confidently.
Seeing Zhang Tianhai's confident look, Chen Dazhi nodded slightly and said in his hoarse voice: "Okay! Our government staff will definitely try our best to cooperate with your military headquarters in recruiting propaganda activities, so that starting from today Starting at noon, we will send people to the countryside to carry out propaganda. Due to the current complex situation, it is inevitable that enemy spies and spies will sneak in, so I hope Commander Zhang can send a few people to protect our government workers."
"Okay, of course there is no problem with this. It's just that your government staff, Mr. Chen, have to go to work in the countryside. Zhang Yulin is here. Thank you very much." Zhang Tianhai stood up and clasped his fists and said to express his gratitude.
"Commander Zhang, you are so polite. You led the troops to defeat the enemy on the front line, so Linyi was saved. As everyone knows, Linyi and Lanling have a close relationship. If Linyi is lost, we, Lanling, will have to face the Japanese soldiers head-on. Therefore, our Lanling County Government, by helping your army, is helping ourselves." Chen Dazhi said seriously, full of seriousness.
"In this case, you will send a work team to each countryside, and our department will send a platoon to protect your work team. How about it?" Zhang Tianhai made his decision immediately.
"Okay, then it's decided. I wonder what the other thing Commander Zhang said is?" Chen Dazhi asked.
"One more thing is my personal matter. My fiancée may have to trouble Mr. Chen for a while. You also know that the food in the army may be a little nutritionally deficient. But it may not be long before the main force of the Japanese army on Jinpu Road goes south. Xuzhou, the war is about to break out, and our regiment doesn’t know when it will be transferred to the front line. Regarding the city defense camp, I will organize and train it into an army before leaving Lanling." Zhang Tianhai smiled helplessly.
Chen Dazhi smiled and said: "I can still help you with this small favor. Commander Zhang has made great contributions to our Lanling County. Besides, we are acquaintances and we are familiar with each other, so there is no need to say those polite words."
"Okay, let's discuss how to promote the recruitment!" Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
So after discussion and decision by the two big guys from the military and political circles in Lanling County, the work of recruiting propaganda officially began.
At noon that day, a work team composed of the Lanling County Government and the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment began to go to the countryside to work. Almost every township had a work team to go to the countryside to publicize.
Facts have proved that with the foundation of a great victory, recruiting troops is more effective: on that day, many young people from the county signed up to join the army, and some young people who came from nearby towns and villages signed up to join the army.
Overall, the recruitment process went quite smoothly.
After Zhang Tianhai reached a cooperation agreement with Chen Dazhi, he returned to the regiment headquarters to make the next training arrangements.
"Xu Sangou, call Chief of Staff Guo and Deputy Commander Zhou over and say that we have important matters to discuss." Zhang Tianhai, who was sitting on a chair in the office and writing on his desk, suddenly called out to Xu outside the door. Three dogs.
"Yes, Tuanzuo!" Xu Sangou responded and quickly went to carry out the order.
Not long after, Guo Qiliang and Zhou Fangjie arrived, and another brief military meeting began.
In the next two or three days, there was an endless stream of people coming to join the army.
In a short period of time, more than 2,000 people came to join the army.
And Zhang Tianhai also started the work of reorganizing the city defense battalions into the First Regiment. After all, these two city defense battalions are also units that have undergone a period of military training. They are better than those new recruits who know nothing, right?
In short, this time, Zhang Tianhai was a little hungry and it was better to have troops than no troops.
He was asked again if he regretted the sneak attack on Tangtou Town, which made them the focus of the entire battle. Zhang Tianhai's answer was that he definitely did not regret it. After all, they went to the battlefield to resist Japan, not to fight for kingship or hegemony. And so on to preserve strength.
After this battle, in general, the harvest is quite large. At least it can test the true combat effectiveness of the Zhiyi Regiment to the greatest extent, and whether his several battalion commanders can fully complete the battle when facing powerful enemies. Obey his command so that you can fight as nimbly as your arms.
Facts have proved that the Zhiyi regiment he led is really powerful. It is powerful enough to face a frontal attack by a regiment of Japanese troops without falling behind. Moreover, it is also carried out with the support of the enemy's tanks and multiple artillery pieces. of.
After this battle, the various departments of the First Regiment paid more attention to training, especially the performance of the special agent company, which simply surprised him.
The establishment of the special agent company was just an experiment. They were trained with the training intensity of modern army special forces. Except for the lack of firepower, their other performances were perfect, especially in close combat.
In addition to arranging troops in the past few days, Zhang Tianhai also organized cadres at the battalion and company level and above to hold meetings and study.
It is worth mentioning that that class of students also learned a lot from the Zhiyi Regiment, and were influenced by Zhang Tianhai and others, and began to gradually agree with the Zhiyi Regiment's training methods and combat style.
Zhang Tianhai also believes that under his leadership, these students will eventually become qualified officers.
