Perhaps because of drinking and the exhaustion of the journey, Song Xilian didn't get up until noon the next day.
As for where Song Xilian lives, it is naturally the Lanfeng City Defense Headquarters where Zhang Tianhai's regiment headquarters is located.
After getting up and having lunch, Song Xilian asked Zhang Tianhai to assemble the special agent company. He wanted to inspect the special agent company to see what the unit that was able to fight so well last night looked like.
At this time, the city defense headquarters was lined with green trees, and rays of sunlight passed through the vibrant leaves, like a funnel full of sieve holes, which was very beautiful.
The large playground has long been cleared. Normally this should be the training ground for the guard platoon, because the training grounds of the secret service company are usually in the wild, and the secret service company can be regarded as a veritable field force.
At this moment, Song Xilian stood at the front of the team, while Zhang Tianhai stood next to him.
As the current direct leader of the first regiment directly under the third theater, Song Xilian's will can naturally penetrate the entire first regiment directly under the third theater.
"Are you the commander of the special agent company?" Song Xilian looked at Liu Houming.
"Reporting to the military seat is a humble duty!" Liu Houming strode forward, stood at attention and saluted.
Song Xilian patted Liu Houming on the shoulder and said, "The military exercise last night was very good and successful. Who is responsible for teaching your combat theory?"
"This set of combat theories is taught by our regiment commander. His humble position is only responsible for specific training matters. The general direction is still controlled by the regiment commander." Liu Houming reported.
Song Xilian was a little surprised by Liu Houming's truth. He didn't expect that Zhang Tianhai, a guy who couldn't even hear three farts before the Battle of Songhu, was so thoughtful.
"Very good. Overall, it's a great job." When Song Xilian nodded, he did not forget to take a deep look at Zhang Tianhai, but the latter made him feel very nervous.
In the following time, Song Xilian inspected the first battalion and then the cavalry battalion. Anyway, he went to see all the most important troops.
After inspecting the cavalry troops again, Song Xilian stood at the top of Lanfeng County, frowning, as if he was not in a very happy mood.
"Military seat, are you...in a bad mood?" Zhang Tianhai walked over and stood next to Song Xilian.
"Yes, when I go to the 71st Army this time, to be honest, I don't have much confidence in my heart. This army has always followed Wang Jingjiu's leadership. Now that Wang Jingjiu has been transferred to the Third War Zone, I I don’t have much confidence in these officers, I’m just afraid that something will go wrong..." Song Xilian said meaningfully.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but feel a "thump" in his heart: Could it be that the military commander had already had a premonition about the Lan Feng battle?
Although he knew the outcome, Zhang Tianhai still couldn't say it so directly. After all, Long Muhan had not made any mistakes yet. If he said it so directly, Song Xilian would not only not believe it, but would also think that he was slandering Shangguan. good.
No matter what, Long Muhan is still the lieutenant general of the 88th Division. In terms of qualifications, he is also a student in the first batch of Huangpu and is Zhang Tianhai's senior!
Zhang Tianhai is not stupid, stupid enough to cause such trouble.
"Why did the military commander say this?" Zhang Tianhai asked tactfully under caution.
Hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Song Xilian turned his head slightly, looked at Zhang Tianhai with a smile, and said: "Do you really don't understand, or do you pretend not to understand? I always feel that you are a cunning kid. Don't say what you should say. No." It’s better not to say what should be said. It will avoid the important and take the easy.”
"Hey, military commander, you are making fun of a humble position. It is true that a humble position does not have much ability, but please rest assured, military commander, I, Zhang Yulin, no matter how glib I am, as long as the military commander gives me an order, I will do whatever it takes to live in a humble position and go through fire and water. !" Zhang Tianhai also knew that Commander Song's words were not that simple. They were just forcing him to express his stance and establish a military order.
"With your words, I feel better... This 71st Army is not our 36th Division before. The 36th Division, after all, is the army I have led for several years. ." Song Xilian let out a long sigh.
Zhang Tianhai knew that Song Xilian had something to say next, so he did not interrupt, just waiting for the main point of what the military commander would say.
As expected, Song Xilian continued: "The fighting on the front line in Xuzhou is tense. Now the Japanese army has almost reached Xuzhou City. It won't be long before Xuzhou will be lost. The time the Japanese gave me is still too short."
"Military seat, do you find it difficult to take over the 71st Army?" Zhang Tianhai asked in a deep voice.
"It can't be said to be difficult! It can only be said that there is not enough time, and the situation does not allow me to slowly integrate the 71st Army. I still have half a month at most..." Song Xilian sighed. A sound.
"Half a month may not be a particularly long time, but it is almost enough to understand the main officers in the army. As long as they are under control, there won't be much of a problem, right?" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice. Tactfully remind Song Xilian to pay attention to Long Muhan...
"It's easy to say this. This person, when he reaches a certain position, can't see certain things clearly... Zhang Yulin, within the 71st Army, you are the only one I can trust..." Song Xilian turned around and patted Zhang Tianhai's shoulder solemnly.
In fact, if he changes his position, Zhang Tianhai can probably understand how much pressure Song Xilian is in his position at this time.
The position of commander of the 71st Army seems to have unlimited glory, but at present, except for the first regiment directly under the third theater, which is trustworthy, neither the 87th Division nor the 88th Division may be able to Subdue him to Song Yinguo!
Indeed, Song Xilian was born in Huangpu Military Academy, but weren't Shen Fazao, commander of the 87th Division, and Long Muhan, commander of the 88th Division, also from Huangpu? Moreover, Long Muhan was in the same period as Song Xilian, and Shen Fazao was a student in the second period of Huangpu.
If the battle fails and the command fails, then whose head will Principal Jiang's sword chop off? Song Xilian, the commander of the army, has a big and round head, which is well-shaped.
Therefore, one can imagine the pressure on Song Xilian.
Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh and said: "Military, please rest assured! The third theater is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment and will always obey your instructions! Your gun points point east, we will never point west!"
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's categorical assurance, Song Xilian nodded with some relief.
For Song Xilian, this is just the first stop. He still has a lot to do. After returning to the 71st Army, there are still many things to do.
Just now, a telegram reached Lanfeng, saying that the headquarters of the First Theater Commander was moving to Zhengzhou. If you have any urgent matters, please go to Zhengzhou to report the situation.
Both Song Xilian and Zhang Tianhai are very clear about what kind of signal this is - this is the commander-in-chief of the first theater making preparations, so that once Xuzhou falls, the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the first theater will not be immediately Inside, they were threatened by Japanese troops.
Perhaps, after moving to Zhengzhou, the national army still has a little room for resistance, and there is still time to secure Zhengzhou and secure the maximum fighter opportunities outside the north gate of Wuhan!
At least, after the relocation, the national army can still launch a battle in eastern Henan around Kaifeng and other places!
If the first theater commander's headquarters is taken away, the entire land of Henan will fall into the hands of the enemy!
"Zhang Yulin, do you have any ideas about the prospects of the first regiment directly under your third theater?" Song Xilian asked.
"I don't know, these are what big men like you should think about, but they are not something that a small leader like me can imagine." Zhang Tianhai shook his head.
