"Seriously, sir. I can't help it..." Zhang Tianhai sighed, "It took a lot of effort to build this artillery battalion into such a large scale. Once the fight is gone, it’s gone. I feel bad..."
"I have long seen that you are not a good guy. If you were really that honest, I dare say that your first regiment directly under the third theater will not be as big as it is now." Song Xilian pointed at Zhang Tianhai, He said angrily and funnyly.
"Military seat... oh no, actually, old sir, I'm still used to calling you Master Seat. Although you have been promoted now, you will never forget your humble position. In front of Yijiang Gate, you commanded me to fire that shot. That What a heroic figure, how chic." Zhang Tianhai chuckled.
It's better not to say it, Song Xilian still can't remember this, but it's better to say it, because he remembered everything.
"How dare you say that? If you had made a mistake at that time, the troops directly under the 88th Division would have rebelled on the spot!" When talking about this, Song Xilian was really angry, " You boy was born to make me angry, right? Damn it, I and Sun Yuanliang were classmates. I thought about it and persuaded him to withdraw. I didn't expect that you boy would be better. Just come up. One shot.”
After Guo Qiliang and Zhou Fangjie heard Song Xilian's curse, they couldn't help being slightly stunned: This Yulin is a real tiger. How dare a small battalion commander shoot at a division commander? A little lieutenant colonel actually shot at a lieutenant general? !
"That...that...wasn't the situation critical at that time? If I hesitated again, was I afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop the 88th Division's rout? I scared him and he retreated..." Zhang Tianhaiqiang I found a reason for myself.
Zhou Fangjie and Guo Qiliang on the side were even more stunned after hearing this: This is true, you must be so brave...
"You have the nerve to say that if one day Sun Yuanliang becomes powerful, you will have to find ways to kill me?" Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Song Xilian cursed directly, but mostly with a smile.
Regarding Zhang Tianhai, Song Xilian probably regarded him as someone like Hu Jiaji. Hu Jiaji was the kind of person who could cause trouble but also made meritorious deeds. Therefore, in Song Xilian's opinion, as long as this type of person is used properly, , that is a very sharp knife.
Just like Hu Jiaji, didn’t he also make a lot of contributions? In Song Xilian's view, doesn't Zhang Tianhai also belong to Hu Jiaji's type?
Now Hu Jiaji is still serving as the brigade commander of the Glory First Division, and there is no place for the 88th Division for the time being, so he can't bring him over.
But unexpectedly, after arriving in the first combat zone, there was an unexpected surprise - Zhang Tianhai's troops actually entered the battle order of the 71st Army under the arrangement of Commander Cheng, and became his subordinates again.
Song Xilian is courageous and capable, but that doesn't mean that he can take complete control of the situation immediately after joining the 71st Army. Therefore, his first stop was at Lan Feng, with the purpose of getting to know Zhang Tianhai again. The current situation and understanding of the current situation of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
However, a series of things that happened after arriving here made Song Xilian dumbfounded - he didn't know where this kid learned to be cunning and slippery. If Song Xilian hadn't known that Zhang Tianhai was not afraid of death in battle, and he was also He was quite patriotic and wanted to save Nanjing even at the risk of his own life. Otherwise, Song Xilian would never dare to use this person.
While eating and drinking, Song Xilian began to get to know Zhang Tianhai again from the side. Unexpectedly, the answer he finally got was that he came up with these bad ideas because he was afraid that Song Xilian would not repay the artillery battalion he borrowed.
Zhang Tianhai has a good way of fighting, he dares to fight hard, and is not afraid of death. On this basis, Song Xilian feels that Zhang Tianhai has great ideas and courage in doing things.
Hmm...it's exactly the kind that I really like whether you're good or bad...
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Tianhai is a talented person, and the first regiment directly under the third theater is not bad to begin with. If the combat effectiveness can be restored well, it is okay to directly entrust him with important tasks.
The combat effectiveness of the special agent company is a test of Zhang Tianhai's ability to lead troops, and this test will also directly affect the future combat positioning of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
Zhang Tianhai didn't think too much. He only thought that Song Xilian was blaming him for cheating his superior.
As a result, Zhang Tianhai said with a bright face: "Um... Military officer, I'm sorry, I really didn't think about it that much when I was in the humble position. I just thought about how to force Sun Yuanliang to be taken back to the division directly affiliated with him to continue fighting. Japs. That’s more than two thousand people. What a powerful military force. Moreover, the troops of the 88th Division, like the troops of our 36th Division, are all German weapon masters. If these two thousand people are all If you put it back, you have to make the little devil lose at least half of the regiment, right?"
"Okay, actually, this matter is not a particularly serious matter. The key point still depends on whether your troops can take the lead. You also know that the two divisions of the 71st Army were mostly newly formed on the spot. The combat effectiveness is poor. Although I have good guys in my hands, I don't know if I can exert my due combat effectiveness." Song Xilian didn't hide anything, he just said so directly.
"Please rest assured, military commander, our Third War Area Headquarters, which is directly under the First Regiment, will definitely give full play to the combat effectiveness that the German Arms Forces should have. However, we still need at least half a month to conduct training. You also know that our regiment is in Xuzhou There were a total of two battles on the front line, and both battles almost depleted my hometown. Veterans in the army suffered particularly heavy losses, and now there is a situation in the army where there are few veterans and many recruits." Since it has been said At this point, Zhang Tianhai felt that there was no need to be secretive, so he simply told Song Xilian his true situation.
"Half a month? Are you sure this time is enough? You have to know that once the Xuzhou front line loses, Kaifeng will be the first to bear the brunt, and Lanfeng is the east gate of Kaifeng. It can be said to be Kaifeng's last line of defense. If Your regiment is responsible for guarding this place, so you are going to face the front line of the Japanese army. Do you think your army can do it?" Song Xilian narrowed his eyes slightly and stared directly at Zhang Tianhai, as if the latter was telling a lie. , can't escape his sharp eyes.
"Yes." Zhang Tianhai nodded solemnly, then changed the topic and said, "But one thing must be ensured, that is, our regiment must have reinforcements. If there are no reinforcements, the outcome of our regiment will be It's the same fate as Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division who defended Teng County. They can only coexist and die with Lan Feng. I hope you can understand, Commander. There will not be a single deserter at the head of the 1st Regiment directly under the Third Theater, and they will definitely defend to the end, but After we are all dead, I don’t know if anyone will be able to defend the county seat of Lanfeng.”
Zhang Tianhai's words are very clear, that is, it depends on whether Youjun cooperates. If Youjun does not cooperate, then he will be powerless.
