"Chief of Staff, if most of our frontline troops are transferred to the battle in Linyi City, what are the chances of winning?" Seishiro Itagaki asked confidently, obviously looking like he was sure of victory.
"Division Commander, with the current state of our division, it may be difficult to completely wipe out the enemies in Linyi, especially if they are prepared to defend Linyi." Chief of Staff Shen Xing said with some hesitation.
"With the artillery power of our army, as long as a war starts, we can inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy. It is not difficult to kill the enemy in Linyi. As long as we leave one of the city gates undefended, leaving the Chinese army a chance to escape. Once they lose support, Stop and want to retreat. The fighter planes that will completely wipe out this enemy force have appeared." Itagaki Seishiro snorted coldly, and the arrogance in his expression seemed to indicate that the national army in Linyi City was already a sure thing.
"I wish the division commander a long military career!" the chief of staff said solemnly.
…
However, what Seishiro Itagaki and others did not expect was that the officers of the Fifth Theater Commander's Department believed that it was no longer necessary to defend Linyi, but they still had to buy some time for the Yixian frontline battlefield.
As a result, the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone Commander issued a top-secret order to Pang Bingxun. Before abandoning Linyi, only Army Commander Pang Bingxun and Army General Counselor Wang Showu were qualified to see this order, and they must be determined to resist the war and serve as a frontline for Yixian County. He tried his best to annihilate Isoya Rensuke's troops on the battlefield.
"Sir Pang, it seems that we don't have to fight to the death this time." Wang Showu said.
"We really don't have to fight to the end, but I'm afraid things are not optimistic over there in Yixian County..." Pang Bingxun narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance outside the city.
"The battle over Yixian County should be coming to an end, right? Tang Enbo's Army, Sun Lianzhong's Second Group Army, and Sun Tongxuan's Third Group Army are fighting there now. With an army of more than 100,000, can they really not take down a single Yixian County?" Wang Shouwu Somewhat surprised, after all, everyone knows that Tang Enbo's army has sophisticated weapons.
"This enemy force in Yixian County is very well-armed. Let's just say that with the fierceness of the enemy force, Sun Lianzhong's group army alone cannot defeat it. Now according to the latest battle report from the front line, it can be judged that Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps is now and Sun Tongxuan's Third Group Army are all providing reinforcements to Sun Lianzhong's Group Army. Sun Lianzhong's Group Army was already crippled during the previous great victory at Taierzhuang. They alone may not be enough..." Pang Bingxun sighed.
"Doesn't the commander-in-chief of the theater still have some elite troops? Like Zhang Tianhai's regiment, his regiment is really capable of fighting. How dare these officers trust such a young guy to serve as the leader of a German-armed reinforcement force? There is indeed something extraordinary about it." Speaking of Zhang Tianhai's army, even Wang Showu had to admit that this army is really strong!
"The main force of the Sakamoto Brigade fought desperately to attack Tangtou Town. Even if any of the defenders in Linyi City at that time were to defend Tangtou. Even if Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division, the main force of the 59th Army, released The previous brigade may not be able to hold on to the soup." Pang Bingxun nodded.
"Then why didn't the war zone send their troops up? Although Linyi had fought a battle before, after supplements and half a month of training, no matter what, it is still possible to fight a battle, right?" Wang Showu was a little dissatisfied. Said understandingly.
"What I said is wrong. In fact, Brother Yulin's Third War Zone's First Regiment, directly under the jurisdiction of the First Regiment, has been incorporated into the battle order of the Yixian front line a few days ago. It was only because Zhang Yulin was injured on the front line that he was replaced. In addition, the The troops indeed suffered heavy casualties, so they were dismissed." Pang Bingxun said sternly.
Then, before Zhang Tianhai could speak, Pang Bingxun said in a very regretful tone: "It's a pity that Zhang Tianhai is not my subordinate. If he were my subordinate, let alone a regiment commander, he would be It would be worthwhile to serve him as a brigade commander or deputy division commander."
"It seems that I made the mistake of blaming the officers of the Chief's Department." Wang Showu said.
"Go down and prepare to change the defense order of the troops. Now the first priority is to support the battle in Xianggongzhuang and other places, so that the enemy troops will not surround our troops under Linyi City and be unable to break through." Pang Bingxun said sternly.
"Yes, sir." Wang Showu responded.
…
The camera turned to Zhang Tianhai again.
Xuzhou Nancheng District, the third war zone is directly under the first regiment headquarters, west wing.
At this time, the west wing had been cleared out. This was an order given by Zhang Tianhai himself, and it was used as a temporary location for the cadre training class.
Tables and chairs are arranged very neatly, and there are even a few electric lights on the top. This is for the company commanders of these cadre training classes to sit.
Yes, according to this arrangement, this is indeed a classroom.
The teacher of this class is "Teacher" Zhang Tianhai, the leader of the cadre training class.
"Comrades and company commanders, I believe that in this class, you are all students. I believe that letting you, the company commanders of combat troops, be students. It may be a difficult thing to say. But, you all listen. Well, what you learn in this class will be the knowledge you can use to save your life!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly, his words full of seriousness.
Everyone had serious faces, but no one dared to smile playfully due to the majesty of the group leader.
"If you dare to say that I, Zhang Tianhai, do not understand military affairs and have not experienced the suffering of the grassroots! Then, let me tell you! I, Zhang Yulin, was admitted to Huangpu at the age of sixteen! I graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy at the age of eighteen, and then participated in the Central Plains War Wait for all kinds of battlefields! I, Zhang Yulin, came out of Shanghai and Nanjing alive! I dare say that among the brothers here, there may be a few, or even only a few, who have experienced the Battle of Songhu and the defense of Nanjing with me Fight." Zhang Tianhai's voice suddenly became darker, as if he still had infinite nostalgia.
The atmosphere in the venue had begun to gradually become heavier, and following Zhang Tianhai's voice, he gradually fell into that miserable memory.
"I tell you, the Battle of Songhu lasted for three months, and our 36th Division followed it for more than three months! I witnessed and experienced this battle with my own eyes! Many of our national army troops These damn little devils were killed under enemy fire before anyone even saw them! I don’t want our brothers to go to the battlefield with anti-Japanese intentions. But they didn’t even see the faces of the little devils. , they all died under their gunfire!" Zhang Tianhai said sharply.
Before the company commanders could react, Zhang Tianhai continued: "These soldiers and warriors under our hands are all born by their own fathers and raised by their own mothers. They can sacrifice themselves on the road of the war of resistance, but they must not be Sacrificed by the commander's stupidity! I have told you here in advance that you all should study hard. If anyone loses his position due to poor academic skills, he will immediately be engaged in military law! Do you understand? ?”
When it came to the last word, Zhang Tianhai drank it directly, as if it was a wake-up call, waking everyone up!
Everyone stood up one after another, stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! Group seats! Promise to complete the mission!!!"
