The headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the first theater in Kaifeng is much grander than the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater in Xuzhou. After all, Han Fuqu was arrested here last time.
The residence here is spacious, and the buildings are all small Western-style buildings. The sky is clear and the red flags are flying above the buildings, making a sound in the spring breeze.
Groups of heavily guarded security forces were doing security work, patrolling back and forth. The guys at hand were very good. In addition to those holding rifles, there were also many who had two Mauser pistols on their waists for quick support. Guard.
Anyway, the feeling here is that it is heavily guarded. If you don't have a pass, it's hard for even a bird to fly over.
It is not only the personnel who are heavily guarded, but also the machine gun sentries. Almost every exit is guarded by two heavy machine guns and a light machine gun.
After arriving at the door, Adjutant Yang showed his officer ID and the pass signed by Chief Cheng Qiancheng before the guard officer at the door released him.
Then, the car slowly drove directly into the commander's headquarters. At this moment, Zhang Tianhai discovered that there were many mortars pointing at the door. Zhang Tianhai didn't know about other places. Anyway, there were five mortars placed at the door he entered.
Zhang Tianhai also believed that if the battle started, many officers and soldiers would arrive as soon as possible and use these mortars.
To be honest, Zhang Tianhai was jealous when he saw these equipments: Damn it, if all these equipments were moved to his regiment, it would be perfect. If he went to fight a Japanese regiment one on one, then It's not a problem at all...
However, these beautiful thoughts can only be thought about.
These equipment are destined to be used only by the security forces of the theater commander's headquarters, in order to prevent the enemy from taking down the theater commander's headquarters in one fell swoop. Therefore, the equipment here must be sophisticated, and the troops with the strongest combat effectiveness must be used for defense.
Seeing this, can Zhang Tianhai still not understand? In fact, after Han Fuqu entered the headquarters of the First Theater Commander, he could not escape at all. What Chiang Kai-shek, Liu Zhi and others were afraid of was that the Third Army would lead a rebellion and fall directly into the arms of the Japanese army.
This is almost a hundred thousand troops. Even if there are casualties in the battle, it is definitely not less than 70,000 troops.
Seventy thousand people went to become puppet troops and led the Japanese army to counterattack the national army. The consequences were disastrous: Besides, Han Fuqu also held the position of deputy commander of the fifth theater.
If this information were leaked, the harm caused would be no less than the 70,000 soldiers who collectively surrendered to the enemy and became puppet troops.
Just when Zhang Tianhai's thoughts had drifted to a few months ago, the car door opened. The person who opened the door was an officer who was responsible for opening the door and greeting him. Judging by his military rank, he was a lieutenant: "Sir, you're here, it's time to get out of the car."
It was this cry that brought Zhang Tianhai back from his thoughts of memories.
Seeing the lieutenant in front of him with a smile on his face, Zhang Tianhai nodded, then got out of the car, and after taking a deep breath of the surrounding air, he followed Adjutant Yang in.
"Sir Zhang, is this your first time here?" Adjutant Yang started chatting awkwardly again.
Zhang Tianhai really wanted to say something: Do you think I am a global satellite? Have you been there?
But after thinking about it, let it go. Let's not mention that Adjutant Yang doesn't know what a "global satellite" is. Just saying that he can talk so awkwardly, you know that this guy really doesn't have a high emotional intelligence.
"Yes, yes, it's my first time here. I've been to the Seventh Theater Command Headquarters (Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department) before, and I've also been to the Fifth Theater Commander's Headquarters, but this is the only one I've been to. This is the first time for the Chief Department." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile.
Adjutant Yang walked in front, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, then just follow me! I'll go see if Chief Cheng is in a meeting. If the meeting hasn't been held yet, I'll ask for instructions."
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said seriously: "No problem, I'll just wait here. I'll help you, Adjutant Yang."
"Sir Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. I will come as soon as I go." Adjutant Yang also said with a serious face.
…
At this time, Cheng Qian was sitting upright on the chair behind his desk, with his hands on the table and his eyebrows tightly knitted together - as the commander-in-chief of a war zone, he had a lot of responsibilities. light.
Many people think that when you become such a high-ranking officer, it should be easy and just be responsible for the majestic appearance.
But who could have imagined the pressure on their shoulders? What they carry on their shoulders is the future of the Chinese nation. If they make the slightest mistake, they may ruin the future of the Chinese nation, so they cannot help but think carefully about all this.
When he saw Adjutant Yang walking in, Cheng Qian raised his head and asked, "Adjutant Yang, have you received someone back?"
"Sir, the report has been received. Moreover, I have carefully inspected his unit. It is indeed a well-equipped unit, but they have relatively many recruits, so their combat effectiveness may not be that strong." Adjutant Yang reported truthfully. .
"It's okay, this is all expected. If their troops hadn't been disabled on the front line, I guess Commander Li Zongren wouldn't have let him go so happily!" Cheng Qian said with a smile. He has been five years old this year. At ten years old, his eyes have seen through too many people. He and Li Zongren have also been acquainted for a long time. It is impossible that he does not even know what kind of person Li Zongren is, right?
Li Zongren is a cheerful and generous person. He doesn't seem to be a stingy person, but he is definitely not stupid. The third theater is directly under the first regiment. What kind of army is this? This is the only German weapon unit that successfully broke out of Nanjing. It can be said that it was a gift that Tang Shengzhi left to his old acquaintance Li Zongren before he removed the commander of the Seventh War Zone. At least this unit has a better combat effectiveness. It is quite strong, as can be seen from the Tangtou defensive battle in Linyi Victory.
Such a unit, no matter which war zone it is placed in, is quite popular, and the fifth war zone has just achieved two major victories and won the battle, so it will have a strong back. If Li Zongren is not willing, even if it is Chairman Chiang cannot transfer this unit.
In fact, after experiencing two battles, the first regiment directly under the third theater suffered heavy casualties, and it no longer had the same majesty as when it was first transferred to the fifth theater.
Generally speaking, it is a disabled army, and it is a force that urgently needs time to repair.
"Sir, Commander Zhang is waiting outside. Do you want to let him in first? Can you ask for the details yourself?" Adjutant Yang asked.
"Don't worry, I will ask you to understand the situation clearly before calling him in! It's time for young people to test their patience. Wait a little longer, and it will be fine." Cheng Qian's face softened slightly. Those thick eyebrows still look so energetic.
"Yes, sir." Adjutant Yang responded.
