Although the shouts of killing have been heard for so long, the position has always been in the hands of the Yunnan Army and remains motionless.
Later, the enemy's aircraft and heavy tanks had already entered the battlefield. In terms of the intensity of the battle, it had reached the highest peak of the Lunan Battle!
The Yunnan army officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the company commander Yang Binglin was also injured and was carried off the firing line.
Infantry platoon leader Lu Jianguo and mortar platoon leader Jin Jiaxiang automatically formed an anti-tank team.
Lu Jianguo's infantry platoon, under the cover of Jin Jiaxiang's mortars, approached the enemy tanks, blew up two tanks with cluster grenades, and then was besieged by several other tanks. This two-platoon-level unit formed The anti-tank team finally died heroically.
In the evening, when the successor commander Zhong Guanghan arrived, more than 200 officers and soldiers were accommodated. After reorganization, they continued to fight day and night.
It was not until the night of the 24th that the 60th Army headquarters ordered the regiment to evacuate Puwang.
It can be said that in the two days since the Sixtieth Army joined the battle, both regiments were almost wiped out. This does not include the casualties of other regiments.
It can be seen that the battlefield with the positions to the north of Lianfang Mountain as the main battlefield was fierce.
Especially the three days of fighting from the 22nd to the 24th were the most intense. The Japanese army tried its best and mobilized all its forces in an attempt to destroy the strong resistance capability of the Yunnan Army. However, this time they had their own wishful thinking. But it was a mistake, and they hit the iron plate!
…
On the morning of the 25th, after receiving the battle report from the front line, Zhang Tianhai immediately gathered all the middle-level cadres of the first regiment directly under the third theater and held the first military meeting since he was stationed in Lanfeng.
Zhang Tianhai arrived late to the military meeting on this day. He was holding a report on the casualties of the Yunnan Army on the front line.
"Hello, leader!!"
After Zhang Tianhai entered the league headquarters meeting room, everyone stood up and saluted.
After Zhang Tianhai stood on the main seat, he nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
Zhang Tianhai didn't drink too much last night. After all, he still had to remain sober. On the first day when the first regiment headquarters of the Third War Zone entered Lanfeng County, there were still many clues that had not been sorted out, so he couldn't drink. Drunk.
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, all the officers sat down one after another.
After sitting firmly on the throne, Zhang Tianhai slowly said: "Brothers and comrades, I just received a battle report from Xuzhou, about the Yunnan Army. The enemy troops have reached the northeast of Taierzhuang. Our company's defenses were fortified, and during the two or three days after entering the battle, the Yunnan Army suffered casualties of almost one regiment a day, which shows how intense the battle was."
Zhang Tianhai calmed down, took a sip of strong tea, and regained consciousness before continuing: "Everyone, we are now under the command of the First Theater Command, but don't forget that we are in the same relationship with the Fifth Theater Command. Closely related, Lanfeng County is located on an important road. If the Japanese army wants to attack Kaifeng, they must pass through our defense area, so everyone should be prepared! We must find out Lanfeng County in the next few days. The situation within the territory, occupying favorable terrain, building our fortifications here, and making all preparations for battle to defend Lanfeng!"
"Yes! Leader!!" Everyone straightened their backs and responded.
"Everyone, just wait. I have now sent people to negotiate with the Lanfeng County Government. They have promised to send some cadres to help us quickly understand the situation in our defense area. In addition, our regiment originally planned to Let the cadre training classes in Lanfeng County be temporarily suspended! Wait until we have completed the construction of each battalion position before restarting the classes. In short, everything must be prepared around the defense of Lanfeng." Zhang Tianhai emphasized again at the end One sentence.
"Yes!" More than a dozen school-level officers responded again.
Zhang Tianhai closed his eyes, still thinking about what else he had not mentioned - it is already late April, and it will be May soon, and this Battle of Lanfeng will be in May When the fight started, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but be careless.
"What is the situation of each battalion now? Let Li Chunfei, the commander of the first battalion, start reporting. The four main infantry battalions will report in order!" Zhang Tianhai gave the order without saying anything.
After Li Chunfei was called, he immediately stood up and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, I believe everyone knows the situation of our battalion. Our battalion was the most disastrous one in the history of the battle in Tangtou Town. The troops, including the subordinate himself, are in a state where the wounds have not fully healed. Although the regiment headquarters has held a series of large-scale military training activities, it has not been able to improve the problem of insufficient training in the grassroots units of our battalion in a short period of time. In addition, the officers' The quality is also worse than before.”
After Li Chunfei thought for a while, he continued: "Since the start of the cadre training class held by the regiment, the quality of officers has improved, but their various knowledge is still not as good as the previous batch of officers, and they are not as good as the army The soldiers among them have not been adjusted well enough, and I am afraid their combat effectiveness is not too strong. If we fight a battle, there should be no problem, but I don’t know how long they can hold on. The regiment, the humble report has been completed, please give me instructions!"
After hearing this report, Zhang Tianhai nodded gently. He also knew that what Li Chunfei said was the truth. Perhaps among the four main infantry battalions, only the third battalion had the strongest combat effectiveness!
"The first battalion commander summed it up well. The regiment headquarters will try every means to change this situation. But we also ask the battalion commanders to strengthen the integration of the troops and give more consideration to any situation that may arise." Zhang Tianhai concluded. The conclusion was reached, "Second Battalion Commander, it's your turn."
After his name was called, Lu Shaojie stood up after Li Chunfei sat down and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, although the situation of our second battalion is not as serious as that of the first battalion, it is very close to the first battalion to varying degrees. The situation is correct, but if you give me another half month, I will be confident that we can train our battalion into a unit that can stick to the position! I’m done with my report, please give me instructions from the regiment!"
Zhang Tianhai also basically knew the situation of the Second Battalion, and also knew that Lu Shaojie did not lie to him with big words, or made some superficial remarks to fool him, so he nodded and said: "Second Battalion Commander, please sit down! I hope you can Do what you just promised me!"
"Yes! Team leader! I promise to complete the mission due to my humble position"! Lu Shaojie assured confidently.
Before Zhang Tianhai could call his name, the commander of the third battalion, Wang Ziqing, stood up and reported: "Reporting to the regiment, our third battalion is the battalion-level unit with the fewest casualties in all previous battles among the whole regiment, and also has the most veterans. According to the distribution, , our battalion’s combat effectiveness should be the strongest, so our battalion is willing to take on the most difficult tasks! And I guarantee that if we dare to fight, we will win, and we can win the battle!"
After hearing Wang Ziqing's assurance, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly. He always felt that Wang Ziqing seemed a bit conceited, but this was not the time to train others, so he could only nod his head and said: "I hope your guarantee is combined with your actual actions. You must lead the Third Battalion well, because the Third Battalion is indeed the battalion-level unit with the most veterans and the strongest combat effectiveness in our regiment. No one. "
After hearing these words of affirmation from Zhang Tianhai, the smile on Wang Ziqing's face became even brighter. He smiled and said: "Yes! Group members! Please rest assured that I will definitely complete the task and build the third battalion into one." Build the strongest army!"
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Okay, sit down! I'll wait to see the results."
"Yes! Group seats!" Wang Ziqing smiled and sat down, looking quite proud.
Zhang Tianhai wanted to say something, but he held back and did not say anything.
