The sudden change in the situation on the front line seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Tianhai.
After all, the military situation in Xuzhou was beyond his control and control, so Zhang Tianhai could only do his job diligently and wait for the call to go to the battlefield at any time.
Waiting for the call is obviously not a very happy thing, but it is indeed a very helpless thing.
No, early on the morning of the 21st, Zhang Tianhai summoned deputy regiment commander Zhou Fangjie and chief of staff Guo Qiliang to the regiment headquarters for a regular meeting.
It's just that this routine meeting did not convene the heads of other directly affiliated agencies, only the three of them were conducting it.
"I'm afraid I'm going to waste a little time for both of you today." Zhang Tianhai tapped his index finger lightly on the table.
"Let's just say it, you are still so polite!" Zhou Fangjie said with a smile.
"In that case, I won't talk nonsense anymore. This time, I want to change the current situation of the cavalry battalion and make appropriate adjustments to the cavalry battalion of our regiment. I want to hear your opinions." Zhang Tianhai He said solemnly.
"Cavalry battalion? Isn't the cavalry battalion in good condition now? Why do you suddenly want to change it?" Guo Qiliang asked.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said: "I think that the mission of the cavalry battalion is indeed relatively simple now. Taking advantage of this moment of training for the main battalion of the whole regiment, we can move the cavalry battalion to see if it can be used to a certain extent. Strengthen the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion."
"The key is how do you want to change it?" Guo Qiliang asked again. After all, the staff department has always been responsible for various tasks, so Guo Qiliang must ask clearly.
"I have already made a rectification plan. The key is that you guys should help check it to see how feasible it is. The key is whether it can steadily improve combat effectiveness." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
"Then take it out and take a look!" At this time, Zhou Fangjie spoke. He had been waiting for the text.
Zhang Tianhai opened the folder in front of him and handed it to Zhou Fangjie: "Old Zhou, take a look at it and see if there are any mistakes or omissions."
"Still thinking of finding fault with you? That's really not easy. You've always done things flawlessly." Zhou Fangjie smiled bitterly and took the rectification plan from Zhang Tianhai.
After all, for Zhou Fangjie, Zhang Tianhai's coming here has to increase his workload a lot. He is already very busy, but when something like this happens suddenly, how can he laugh sincerely?
After reading the contents with confidence, Zhou Fangjie said: "There is indeed nothing wrong with this plan, and it can indeed enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops to a certain extent. But, I want to know, where did our regiment get so much equipment? "
"Bring it here, let me take a look." Guo Qiliang took the rectification plan directly from Zhou Fangjie's hand, and then began to read it.
You don't know this, but you are shocked at first glance: Zhang Tianhai has a really big appetite. If this plan is followed, the cavalry battalion of the Zhiyi Regiment can be used as a fast and mobile main combat force.
To put it bluntly, it is a main combat battalion on horseback. If a fight breaks out, it can be thrown into the battlefield as quickly as possible. It can be used as an infantry battalion.
In fact, Zhang Tianhai did refer to the rapid response forces of later generations for the setting up of the cavalry battalion, but to build such a force, it depends on how the military commander operates.
It was obvious that Zhang Tianhai was determined to win.
"It is indeed very difficult to build our cavalry battalion into what it is now. But as long as the equipment is in place, I believe it will not be difficult." Zhang Tianhai tapped his index finger on the table.
"But where do these equipments come from? Report to the commander's department? I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? All parties on the front line are in a tight war situation, and other troops are short of everything. Let's ask, I'm afraid it's not necessarily the case Will it be approved?" Guo Qiliang said with a frown, obviously he was not optimistic about this matter either.
"If there are no conditions, we can create it. We don't necessarily have to ask our superiors for everything." Zhang Tianhai put forward a very bold idea.
If there are no conditions, if conditions are created, this is obviously a situation where troops have to be mobilized privately to fight on the front line.
If he was dispatched without receiving a combat order, and the situation was so urgent, if someone from above found out, what would be the consequences of mobilizing troops to fight? That's quite serious.
After all, it was already at this time, and the transfer of any unit might affect the development of the war situation, let alone the first regiment directly under the third theater, a unit with such fierce combat effectiveness.
Indeed, there is absolutely no problem in using the strength of the first regiment directly under the third theater to annihilate a relatively isolated Japanese brigade.
But the series of subsequent developments will be very troublesome, especially whether the Japanese troops will besiege the first regiment directly under the third theater?
The Japanese army wants the third theater to be directly subordinate to the first regiment. This means that the troops are surrounded. Should the theater commander rescue or not?
If rescued, will the main force fall into the enemy's encirclement? What if that was a classic case of encirclement and reinforcements?
The Third War Zone is directly under the First Regiment and cannot afford to lose, and the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department cannot afford to lose even more. If the Fifth War Zone loses, everyone knows what disastrous consequences it will bring.
Precisely because they knew the consequences of the matter, Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang did not dare to speak out - who knew whether Zhang Tianhai, a lunatic, would lose his mind? Then his brain suddenly twitches and he does something rather outrageous.
Not to mention, Zhang Tianhai really dared to do these things, and disobeying orders on the Linyi front line was the best case.
Moreover, this kid didn't just disobey orders once or twice. He even dared to disobey orders in a major battle such as the Battle of Nanjing, let alone other matters.
In their opinion, Zhang Tianhai has not been born yet simply because of his own good luck.
If we win the battle, that's fine; but what if we lose the battle?
When you lose a battle and you want to be held accountable, you can't just shirk responsibility with a few words. At that time, it is very likely that someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for the failure of the battle.
These responsibilities, if they are light, will affect your career, if they are serious, you will be shot!
Being shot is not the most important thing, even his reputation will be destroyed. Therefore, this is also the biggest concern of Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang.
"Old Zhang, if there are other plans, we can still consider them. But according to what you said, we have to deploy troops to the front line to fight against Little Japan. If we are not careful, we may be ruined. Let's just unite this group. Troops. Even if we are lucky enough to survive, can we shoulder this responsibility?" Zhou Fangjie asked very seriously, and his concerns were very clear.
There is no other reason but responsibility.
That is the responsibility we bear for the war of resistance, and it is also the responsibility we bear for the entire Chinese people!
