"Okay! Let's decide this first. We'll leave the army first." With that, Guo Qiliang put on his hat and walked directly out.
Guo Qiliang has always been a straightforward person, similar to Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie. These people have always done what they say.
"Okay, then I'll leave the army too." Immediately afterwards, Zhou Fangjie also put on his hat and strode out.
However, what no one expected was that a combat order came down from the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander.
This telegram is about the Lanling City Defense and Security Group that Zhang Tianhai raised funds to establish when he was in Lanling and seized the loot.
The Lanling City Defense and Security Regiment was reorganized into the Xuzhou City Defense No. 1 Regiment and was included in the official preparatory battle sequence of the Fifth Theater. Gu Shian, the former head of the Lanling City Defense and Security Regiment, returned to form the First Regiment directly under the Third Theater and was given the rank of lieutenant colonel. .
This order was naturally issued to the first regiment directly under the third theater.
Seeing this order, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but frown deeply: Why did the superior officer suddenly issue this order? And Gu Shi'an also needs to lead his troops back to Jian? In order to allow Gu Shian to return with more peace of mind, he was also promoted to military rank!
Zhang Tianhai believes that this matter is definitely not that simple. After all, many things cannot be without reason.
It makes sense to say that the Lanling City Defense and Security Corps was reorganized into the Xuzhou City Defense No. 1 Regiment, but it was very thought-provoking to have Gu Shi'an, the original acting commander, return to the army.
No matter what Gu Shi'an said, he was still a direct descendant of Huangpu. Could it be that someone from the war zone commander's department wanted to exclude the Central Army? But there is no reason for this. You must know that the fifth theater is mostly composed of miscellaneous armies. The combat effectiveness of these miscellaneous armies is usually not as strong as that of the Central Army.
Now is the time when the Fifth Theater Command Headquarters needs the Central Army to take action, and it is impossible to exclude the power of these troops of the Central Army at this time.
Although the Lanling City Defense and Security Corps is only a small security group, its leaders are composed of officers from the Huangpu lineage of the Central Army. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a small unit of the Central Army.
Zhang Tianhai is also very aware of this matter. Could it be that there is another major relocation of the army?
However, what was very surprising was that not long after Gu Shian returned to the Zhiyi Regiment, Zhang Tianhai received another order from the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander.
This order caused quite a shock within the Zhiyi Regiment. Zhang Tianhai even asked Wang Liang to urgently recall Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang who were inspecting the troops below.
To the west of Xuzhou City, the Third War Zone is directly under the headquarters of the First Regiment.
Because of the arrival of this order, the entire regiment became busy, with people coming and going, and everyone was making preparations for various things.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai seemed to be particularly relaxed, because he was waiting for Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang in the office.
The smoke in the teacup rose. Zhang Tianhai was now fully clothed in military uniform, even his woolen coat was already worn.
You know, Zhang Tianhai would not wear a coat unless it was a special occasion, because it is what he regards as a shirt.
As soon as he walked into the door of Zhang Tianhai's office, Zhou Fangjie began to ask: "What's wrong? Lao Zhang, what's the situation? What happened to call us back so urgently?"
"Gu Shi'an has returned to his hometown, you know that, right?" Zhang Tianhai asked.
"It's not clear yet. I just came back from the troops down below and I naturally don't have such good news." Zhou Fangjie said with a serious face.
"Gu Shi'an has returned to the army. Now the Lanling City Defense and Security Corps has been reorganized into the Xuzhou City Defense No. 1 Regiment. After this unit was reorganized, our army received the deployment order." Zhang Tianhai gently lifted the lid of the teacup in his hand. Touching the rim of the tea cup, he seemed to be waiting patiently for the tea to cool down.
"Deployment order? Also changed the current Lanling City Defense and Security Group into the Xuzhou City Defense First Regiment? Doesn't this mean that Xuzhou needs people just at the moment? Why should we allocate our own troops?" Zhou Fangjie was a little confused. He said in confusion, as for where he was transferred, he was not in a hurry to ask, he had to find out the reason.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said with a serious face: "I'm not sure about this, maybe it's to fill the vacancy after the first regiment directly under our third theater was transferred! And they asked Gu Shi'an to return to the team early, maybe because they were afraid When our new commander asks us to transfer all the personnel from the old army back, we should also take away the Lanling City Defense and Security Group!"
"Then we're not sure what our superiors are thinking about this. So tell me first, where will our regiment be transferred? Could it be returning to the third theater?" Zhou Fangjie asked with a frown.
The third theater is currently dominated by enemy-occupied areas. If it is transferred there, it may not necessarily be better than now.
Although their regiment bears the name of the Third War Zone, it has never been in the Third War Zone since the day the unit was established. I don’t know if Commander Gu Zhutong Gu is like the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren. Treat them like that, sir.
A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.
For Zhang Tianhai and others, Commander Li Zongren is like Na Bole, knowing how to use the elite unit of the First Regiment directly under their third theater.
Both Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie actually prefer the atmosphere of the Fifth War Zone. After all, Commander Li Zongren not only has a very high level of attainments in combat, but he is also quite experienced in dealing with people.
Don't forget, Li Zongren and Chief Li are both princes, and they were once able to compete with Chiang Kai-shek.
"The order issued by the Commander-in-Chief's Department to our regiment is to be transferred to the First War Zone and under the rule of Commander Cheng Qian." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, the reluctance in his words clearly evident.
But after all, there is a lot of reluctance, and it is necessary to say goodbye. For Zhang Tianhai and others, they will eventually have to face the outcome of being transferred to the first theater of operations. They just want to see if they need to take some necessary preventive measures. .
After all, the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, under the leadership of Zhang Tianhai, also did a lot of shameful things - for example, seizing trophies to replenish his own troops, such as the four artillery battalions. Artillery, as well as grenadiers to supplement the base companies, as well as all the Japanese weapons and equipment equipped by the military police companies and cavalry battalions.
In fact, if we were to list them one by one, Zhang Tianhai's actions of privately seizing loot would be countless, and they can be described as audacious and extremely bad.
Because of this, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had to take some precautionary measures in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In the fifth theater and the first theater, they are completely different.
The commanders of the Fifth War Zone are easy to talk to and can turn a blind eye to them. As long as they obey orders and don't do such excessive things, then everything is easy to talk to.
Well, of course, it's something that can't be put on the surface.
And is the commander-in-chief of the first theater really as easy to talk to as the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater? If they did something like what they did in the fifth theater in the first theater, would they be slapped with a big hat?
Don’t forget, the first theater is a war area where the Central Army gathers. Tang Enbo’s Army and Fan Songfu’s 46th Army were also transferred from the first theater to the fifth theater. Even Zhang Zizhong’s 59th Army was transferred from the first theater to the fifth theater. The first theater was transferred to the fifth theater, which shows the strength of the first theater.
