"Now that the military seat is here, why should we withdraw the frontline combat troops? Isn't this different from our big concept of developing in Lanling? Besides, don't we still have an artillery battalion, a first battalion, and a small artillery battalion in Lanfeng City? Company, mortar company, these troops? If it doesn’t work, there is still a supply camp. There is no need to mobilize so many troops, so just withdraw the cavalry battalion from Kaocheng and the survey team stationed in the third battalion, right?" Guo Qiliang really didn't understand. Is performance in front of the military seat really so important? Isn't this flattery?
There is no doubt that the first regiment directly under the third theater is a force that is good at fighting and well-equipped. If it is sent to fight and rush to the front line, there is nothing to doubt about it.
But Guo Qiliang really couldn't understand. Is it really that important to show the military the combat effectiveness of the first regiment directly under the third theater? Is it as important as directly understanding Lan Feng and increasing the combat effectiveness of the troops? What's more, the battle hasn't started yet.
In fact, Zhang Tianhai knew that Song Xilian's 71st Army and Yu Jishi's 74th Army would be the main force in the Lanfeng Battle, so he wanted to show Song Xilian the combat effectiveness of his troops. This was purely for the purpose of being able to fight in the future. Grab a combat mission in front of the military seat!
This is the difference between time travelers and non-time travelers. What Zhang Tianhai can see and know is exactly where Guo Qiliang is limited.
It's not that Guo Qiliang doesn't have a good strategic vision, or something else, but because he doesn't know the direction of history. In his opinion, enhancing the first combat effectiveness of the army is the most important factor, even if he is sent to fight in the future. , can also come in handy at any time.
"No, it's different. If we fight in the south in the future, the 71st Army and the 74th Army will definitely be the main force! If our regiment cannot show strong enough combat effectiveness, then when the time comes to fight , the army will definitely not let us fight on the front line. Instead, we will serve as a reserve team!" Zhang Tianhai said solemnly, and his tone was very sure.
Now that it has been included in the order of battle of the 71st Army, it is absolutely possible that he will take over the Lanfeng County where Long Muhan is stationed in the future. Even if he holds it for one night, it can regain a great deal of initiative for the Chinese army on the battlefield. right!
If Zhang Tianhai wants to save Lan Feng's defeat, he can't just rely on the 1st Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, a force of only four to five thousand people - the Lan Feng Battle was a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. , if he is not careful, all of his people will be wiped out.
The important thing is that even if all these four thousand people are thrown in, they won't be able to stir up a few waves, and most importantly, if the sacrifice is worthless, that is the biggest waste!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had to tie up the 71st Army as a large group and pull the 71st Army into the water before he could win with confidence!
"No, as long as the military commander sees our combat effectiveness, then it will be possible for the military commander to let us take on the main attack mission. At least they won't put us in the reserve position, right?" Zhang Tianhai narrowed his eyes slightly and I revealed my thoughts.
"Okay, since you are the regiment commander, it is up to you to decide these matters. Should the entire cavalry battalion be withdrawn?" Guo Qiliang had no choice but to obey Zhang Tianhai's opinion. The first point was of course because it was Zhang Tianhai. He is the leader, but the second point is naturally because Zhang Tianhai usually makes relatively few wrong judgments.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment and said: "Well, let's just bring back the two companies, not a battalion. Remember, tell Wang Yongcheng to bring back the two companies with the strongest combat effectiveness."
Zhang Tianhai thought about it seriously: It seems that the entire cavalry battalion has been evacuated. After the military seats are gone, it may be more troublesome to send the cavalry battalion to Kaocheng again.
"Understood." Guo Qiliang responded, and then hurried to convey Zhang Tianhai's order.
"By the way, it needs to be in the form of an urgent call. Otherwise, if the military commander arrives and doesn't see anything, that's really weird." Zhang Tianhai specifically warned again.
"Understood." Guo Qidian nodded and left.
So, just like that, the two companies of the survey team and the cavalry battalion temporarily directly under the regiment headquarters quickly returned to defend Lanfeng County. Although they didn't know what the situation was, it was right to go back to support.
…
Three hours later, a military off-road jeep quickly drove into Lanfeng County. The guards guarding the city gate quickly reported the situation to the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment.
"Beep--"
As a sharp whistle sounded, mixed with many "assembly" calls, the officers and soldiers of the regiment's guard platoon, led by platoon leader Xu Sangou, had basically gathered on the large playground of the regiment.
Of course, the guards in charge of the guard posts were not among them.
Zhang Tianhai strode out. At this time, he was fully clothed, well, except for the woolen coat.
Deputy commander Zhou Fangjie, chief of staff Guo Qiliang, and adjutant Wang Liang followed closely behind. The combination of these four people seemed to be very energetic.
As for the first battalion, the artillery battalion, and the regiment-affiliated troops in Lanfeng City, they had all been assembled. Such a formation frightened Lanfeng County Magistrate Zhang Chenggong, thinking that a war was about to begin.
So, Zhang Chenggong immediately called the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment to ask what was going on.
In response, Xu Xun, who stayed in the duty room at the regiment headquarters, gave a direct reply: It has nothing to do with the war, and everyone in the county government is asked to work with peace of mind.
…
The camera turned to Song Xilian again.
When he first entered the small county town of Lanfeng County, Song Xilian was still observing the equipment of the Zhiyi Regiment, but he still found that the equipment of these troops seemed to be similar to the equipment of the 36th Division before the Battle of Songhu.
After observing for a while, Song Xilian stopped observing. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. He has seen almost everything that should be seen, and there is nothing particularly noteworthy.
When the vehicle entered the street heading to the city defense headquarters, Song Xilian discovered that there were guards with guns and live ammunition standing neatly on both sides of the road.
When these soldiers saw Song Xilian's vehicle, they immediately stood at attention and saluted, shouting loudly: "Hello, sir!!"
The words "Hello, sir" made Song Xilian feel a little emotional for a moment: Less than a year had passed since the Battle of Songhu, and Zhang Yulin, a boy, had already raised such an army, without saying anything else, he had given orders and prohibited them. In terms of performance, it is absolutely qualified.
But apart from this emotion, Song Xilian also felt that Zhang Yulin was a very clever guy, and he did quite well on the surface, but in terms of fighting, he didn't know if he had made any greater improvements.
Soon, Song Xilian's vehicle stopped at the door of the city defense headquarters. The two soldiers sitting in the back row immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Song Xilian.
At this time, the three military officers of the first regiment directly under the third theater were already waiting at the door. After Song Xilian got off the car, Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, and Guo Qiliang stood at attention and saluted at the same time: "Hello, sir!! "
Looking at the two familiar faces in front of him, Song Xilian nodded gently, and then casually returned the military salute.
"Reporting to the military seat, Zhang Tianhai, who is of humble rank, along with deputy regiment commander Zhou Fangjie, chief of staff Guo Qiliang, and all the officers and soldiers of the first regiment directly under the third theater, report to you!!" Zhang Tianhai reported loudly, which can be said to be full of energy. There was a smile on his lips, and he was obviously in a good mood.
After a long drought, there is rain. When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, when you are named on the gold medal list, it is a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
Meeting the old officer this time was like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and it was thanks to Song Xilian that he met Zheng Man. If the old officer didn't think highly of him, why would he let Zheng Man come to interview him?
