"After being transferred to the First War Zone, I'm afraid we won't be as free as we are now." Zhou Fangjie smiled.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm not optimistic about the current situation in Xuzhou." Zhang Tianhai said this calmly, his face as calm as still water.
"The situation in Xuzhou?" Zhou Fangjie was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's the situation in Xuzhou. Within a month, Xuzhou will fall. Going to the first combat zone at this time may not be a bad thing." Zhang Tianhai took a sip of tea carefully.
"Oh? How come you can see that?" Zhou Fangjie was a little surprised.
"Now the battle on the front line of Yixian County is stagnant. Tang Enbo's Army and Sun Lianzhong's Group Army have suffered heavy losses under the Japanese invaders. Now Lu Han's Yunnan Army and Fan Songfu's 46th Army have entered the battlefield to stabilize it. Just wait and see. Right! They won't be able to hold on for much longer. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Japanese invaders reach Pi County, the eastern barrier of Taierzhuang." Zhang Tianhai's words were full of seriousness, without any hint of joking.
"We have also seen the equipment and fighting will of the Yunnan Army. I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right? It's hard to say about Fan Songfu's 46th Army." Zhou Fangjie also didn't trust Fan Songfu's troops, and Chen Cheng's civil engineering department annexed them. There are too many miscellaneous troops.
"Well, I guess that after the fall of Xuzhou, the Japanese army's frontline should be directed towards Henan. As soon as Henan is lost, they can march straight into Wuhan." What Zhang Tianhai was actually talking about was the Battle of Lanfeng that took place after the Battle of Xuzhou.
Zhou Fangjie also knew that the military front was pointing towards Henan, didn't it mean that a war was about to start in Henan as well? Isn't Henan the defense area of the first theater of war?
"Even if we go, there will be about half a month to a month of rest time, right? Our regiment has just withdrawn from the battlefield here, and we haven't finished resting yet. If we continue to fight like this, our vitality will be seriously damaged." Zhou Fangjie said bluntly that as the deputy regimental leader in charge of training, he knew best how difficult it would be to recover after being disabled by Tangtou.
"After that, no matter what, I will apply to Commander Cheng for a period of rest. There are so many new recruits in our regiment now, and most of the cadres are officers who have not received formal training. If we don't rest, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome in the future." Zhang Tianhai is not just talking about this, he really has this plan, and Zhiyi Tuan is now facing various problems.
Especially these four main infantry battalions are facing a serious shortage of veterans. It is impossible for Zhang Tianhai, a veteran of the special agent company, to be transferred to the main infantry battalion unless it is a training change.
Zhang Tianhai really doesn't have much confidence that such a unit can survive on the battlefield, which is certainly a good thing. The most feared thing is that it cannot survive and cause a huge rout, which means it is really hopeless. .
Could it be like this for the 27th Army and the 71st Army in the Battle of Lanfeng? Both of these troops had mostly new recruits, so it was so easy for command disorders to occur, resulting in all kinds of weapons and equipment being lost all over the place.
That kind of look can be said to be as miserable as it looks.
Zhang Tianhai is a time traveler, and he also knows that Gui Yongqing's 27th Army performed miserably during the Battle of Lanfeng, so he must not allow the same situation to happen to his First Regiment directly under the Third Theater.
"As long as you have confidence, I'm afraid the Japanese army won't be able to attack Kaifeng that easily. We still have some time to rest and recuperate. Try to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops during this period!" Zhou Fangjie sighed. said.
"Well, that's all we can do. I'm afraid the cadre training class will be suspended for two or three days. The order we received is to go to Kaifeng. And the trains leaving Xuzhou now are all full of wounded. Our army is extremely capable You may have to march on foot to Kaifeng." Zhang Tianhai could be regarded as giving Zhou Fangjie a shot in advance.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it on foot in two or three days, so prepare for four or five days!" Zhou Fangjie said bluntly.
Just then, Guo Qiliang came back.
After Guo Qiliang entered the door, he asked: "What's going on? Are you so nervous? Are you going to the front line again?"
"Sit down and read this combat order slowly!" Zhang Tianhai directly placed the folder with the Qingtian Bairi badge in front of another chair in front of his desk.
"Huh? What's the battle order?" Guo Qiliang stepped forward, moved the chair next to Zhou Fangjie, and sat down. Obviously, he came directly without returning to the staff headquarters.
Guo Qiliang opened the document and saw that it read - The third war zone is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment. After receiving this order, your department will immediately prepare for the transfer of troops. From now on, the battle order of your department will be assigned to the First Theater Command and under the jurisdiction of the First Theater Commander's Department. From now on, go to Kaifeng and report to the First Theater Commander, Commander Cheng Qian! Fifth Theater Commander's Department, Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren, urgent call at 12:37 noon on April 21, 27th of the Republic of China!
"What? We have to go to the first combat zone now? So urgent? But we haven't been given much time to prepare." Guo Qiliang exclaimed. Obviously, with this order, his staff had to immediately return to its original position. Prepared.
The transfer of staff is not just a matter of words. More importantly, there is a lot of work at hand that needs to be handed over. For example, the cadres who were seconded from the Political Training Section of He Jiye have a lot of work at hand that must be handed over to the staff of the staff department. .
It was an emergency, and something might go wrong, so this was the reason why Guo Qiliang was anxious.
"Brother Qiliang, don't be anxious. Lao Zhang and I have discussed it just now. It will take us several days to get to Kaifeng. We can still slow down the specific work and prepare the preparations first. Now it is probably the third time. The First War Zone needs people in a hurry, otherwise they won't let us go so quickly." Zhou Fangjie said with a smile.
"Yes, now the Fifth War Zone is short of troops to block the enemy's front. At this time, our troops have been transferred. Chief Li and the others are still a little unhappy. Let's try to do it tonight. Let’s set off before early morning!” Zhang Tianhai concluded.
After listening to the two people talking, Guo Qiliang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! That's it!"
It would be almost impossible for Guo Qiliang to hand over the work so quickly. The staff department has too many things to do, and it also has to plan the marching route of the troops, arrange the supply battalion to be responsible for purchasing supplies, etc. That would be A lot of them cannot be completed in one go.
"After arriving in the first theater, I will apply for rest time. Your staff must take preparatory measures and strive to reorganize the troops as soon as possible. When the war reaches the first theater, we will not be so passive." Zhang Tianhai ordered road.
"Yes, Lao Zhang. Our staff department will do a good job in the relevant work, but after we arrive in the first theater, we don't know if the commander will come to inspect our troops?" Guo Qiliang said with some worry.
"Don't worry so much. It's impossible to hide the current equipment situation of our regiment from the commander's department. If they insist on taking away our troops' equipment, then we will listen to the announcement but not the instructions. Anyway, these things have been ours since childhood. It was snatched from the hands of the Japanese. It is impossible for them to want something from our army. I will bear any consequences alone!" Zhang Tianhai stood up and straightened his military cap.
"Yes! Leader!" Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang stood up and saluted at the same time. With Zhang Tianhai's words, the big stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground.
Without Zhang Tianhai's approval, they would not have dared to act rashly. But it is different now. If the sky falls, there will be someone who can stand up!
