The train was already whining forward, and Zhang Tianhai, who had spent an hour or two anxiously, finally followed the train and arrived in Kaifeng at ten o'clock at noon.
This is the second time Zhang Tianhai has arrived in Kaifeng, but it has been a long time since he last arrived in Kaifeng.
The last time we arrived in Kaifeng was a few months ago. In order to arrest Han Fuqu, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government mobilized a large number of elite troops to wait for Han Fuqu and prepare to catch the turtle in the jar.
Unfortunately, Zhang Tianhai and his First Regiment directly under the Third Theater arrived in Kaifeng at that time.
Only this time when he arrived in Kaifeng, the first regiment directly under his third theater had been expanded a lot, to nearly 800 people.
There are more than 800 people, which is not a small number. In ordinary combat troops, it would be two entire battalions.
What's more, among these eight hundred people, there are many from other branches of the army.
Looking up, everything was filled with memories. Zhang Tianhai smiled helplessly: When he came, he was accompanied by veterans who had been taken in from the frontline battlefield. After being reorganized, they were extremely powerful.
But what about now? Although the army has expanded, its combat effectiveness is no longer as good as before. If he hadn't had the confidence at that time, would he have dared to compete with the Third Army Guard Regiment led by the then 12th Division Commander Sun Tongxuan?
If it were now, Zhang Tianhai would not really dare to be so crazy - most of his team are new recruits, and more than half of the cadres are not qualified cadres. At best, they have combat experience. With such military quality, how can he be as good as at that time? Can the guard regiment carefully trained by Han Fuqu be compared?
After the train stopped, Zhang Tianhai got off the train. At this time, April in the north was not as humid as in the south, and it was still very dry.
The orderly followed Zhang Tianhai, holding Zhang Tianhai's suitcase in his hand, and followed the latter.
Zhang Tianhai stood there, exhaling a long breath, and his whole body began to feel refreshed.
At this time, the Kaifeng Railway Station was no longer as empty as it was before. Instead, it was very dense. To be more precise, it was piled very densely with all kinds of materials.
Because of the intense fighting at the front, the combat readiness inventory of the fifth theater has long been insufficient. It is still necessary to mobilize various personnel and materials from the rear to provide support, especially military supplies, which are in particularly short supply.
"Wang Liang, blow the whistle and order the troops to assemble in thirty minutes!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"Yes! The regiment!" To be honest, Wang Liang didn't quite understand why the regiment had to issue this somewhat nonsensical order, but he had no choice but to give it as the military order was.
In fact, Zhang Tianhai's heart was as bright as a mirror. He had to give his troops some time to prepare. After all, they were in a new war zone, and the Battle of Lanfeng was about to start soon.
Therefore, he must make an excellent impression on the new commander Cheng Qian, so that he can see that the third theater is directly under the first regiment and is definitely a very capable and powerful army!
Only in this way will Chief Cheng feel free to let him perform some tasks. For example, if it is the 27th Army of Gui Yongqing or the 88th Division of the 71st Army Long Muhan leads the escape, he will Can fill these vacancies.
And Zhang Tianhai also believed that if he was given another half month, he might be able to save this huge defeat.
In half a month, no matter how much it was, it was still too much. He wanted to train this team to at least become a team that would not collapse during wartime.
Whether it will collapse during wartime depends on the role of these company commanders.
In fact, after the train stopped, the company commanders of each company were already directing the troops to carry things and get off the train, and then organize the things on the spot, trying to complete relevant matters in the shortest time.
If it is too slow, not only will the group leader be dissatisfied, but most importantly, the train station will be blocked!
The supplies in the open space of the train station are obviously destined for Xuzhou!
Now most of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment directly under the third theater are soldiers from Xuzhou. To be more precise, they are soldiers from Lanling!
Therefore, when they knew that these materials were going to Xuzhou, they immediately hurriedly went about their own business, trying not to delay the transportation of materials to the front.
Not long after, a soldier ran up to Zhang Tianhai, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the regiment, a commander is looking for you!"
Zhang Tianhai knew without even thinking that it must be the person in charge sent by the First Theater Commander's Department to meet the troops.
So, Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Where is he? Take me to find him immediately!"
"Yes, regimental commander! Please come with your humble duty!" With that said, the soldier turned around and went to find the officer who was responsible for taking care of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
Zhang Tianhai followed closely behind.
Accompanying Zhang Tianhai were Xu Sangou and a guard squad of officers and soldiers - you know, this is an unfamiliar area, so in the end it's better to take some precautions.
Besides, wouldn't it be more pompous and face-saving if more guards followed?
In the end, Zhang Tianhai met the responding officer in the dispatch office of the train station.
The responding officer was not very tall, only about 1.65 meters tall, and was even a little thin. Compared to Zhang Tianhai, who was tall and powerful, there was a big difference.
Zhang Tianhai took a look at the military rank of the responding officer. He was a major. He should be an officer in the office civilian category and was most likely a staff officer.
When the responding officer saw Zhang Tianhai, he immediately saluted with a military salute and said, "Hello, sir! You must be Commander Zhang of the First Regiment of the Third Theater Zone who came from the Fifth Theater Zone, right?"
"Yes, I am Zhang Tianhai." Zhang Tianhai casually replied with a military salute.
"Hello, Chief Zhang. I am the adjutant of the Adjutant General Department under the Commander-in-Chief of the First War Zone. I came to the train station to meet your army on the order of Commander-in-Chief Cheng. I hope that Chief Zhang can cooperate with your work." The adjutant was very happy. Speaking seriously, at first glance, he seems to be the kind of person who is very serious about his work, but also a little bit serious.
"Thank you for your trouble. Please thank Commander Cheng for your attention on Zhang's behalf. May I ask how I should address you?" Zhang Tianhai said very seriously. After all, this is a new place and we have to adapt to the rules of this place.
"I want to thank you, Chief Cheng. I'm afraid you will have to take action in person. Chief Cheng will summon you in person later. My humble surname is Yang." The responding adjutant said still very seriously.
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said: "Very good, thank you for your hard work, Adjutant Yang. Are there arrangements for my troops?"
"Report to Chief Zhang, everything is ready. Only after you assemble the troops can I tell you. This is what Chief Cheng means." Adjutant Yang said bluntly.
Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly, but he was thinking in his heart: Doesn't Commander Cheng not trust the strength of the first regiment directly under my third theater? I have to send an informant over to see the real situation.
He wanted to think about it in his heart, but he could never say it out loud, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Just wait for a while!"
