"I understand, Lao Zhang. I can choose to trust your judgment again this time." Zhou Fangjie nodded solemnly.
"Let's be honest! The plan I made this time is just a gamble, and it's a big gamble." Zhang Tianhai smiled and said, "If I are arrested one day, you have to come up with this plan. I executed it on my behalf..."
"Don't you dare say such depressing words." Zhou Fangjie really wanted to kick Zhang Tianhai in the butt. It is true that this kid deserves a beating.
Before Zhang Tianhai could speak, Zhou Fangjie seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "By the way, the military commander has been visiting the troops these days, but it has delayed some of the scheduled work in our regiment. What do you think? Think about it, is it still necessary to continue patrolling the troops?"
"Yes, we must, let Liu Houming continue with the survey team. All battalions cannot be delayed, especially the cavalry battalion, and this battalion cannot be spared!" Zhang Tianhai emphatically mentioned the cavalry battalion.
"Cavalry battalion? Are you planning to reorganize the cavalry battalion so soon?" Zhou Fangjie said incredulously.
"The equipment can't keep up now, but it's getting closer." Zhang Tianhai said, recalling the memories of the Lanfeng battle.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in my mind: It seemed that any friendly troops had deserted their armor and ran away during the Battle of Lanfeng? And it's an elite force.
"Where did that equipment come from?" Zhou Fangjie asked.
"It's coming soon. As long as there is a war, all materials and equipment will not be a problem..." Zhang Tianhai said somewhat mysteriously.
"Okay. I believe you!" Zhou Fangjie said helplessly.
…
So, on May 5th, the hard-working Liu Houming was forced to take this survey team composed of a special agent company and an engineer company to the first battalion stationed in Lanfeng again to continue the work of rotation training and guidance... …
At the same time, the baggage battalion received an order that the baggage battalion should apply to the logistics department of the 71st Army for explosives used by engineers. The person who issued this order was none other than the first regiment directly under the third theater. Colonel Zhang Tianhai, the regiment leader...
Zhu Shaohong expressed a lot of confusion about this order, but he still applied obediently. Whether the supplies would be approved was none of Zhu Shaohong's business.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Tianhai to do such a messy thing and then make it difficult for his men to do it, and the final goal would not be achieved.
So, after telling Zhu Shaohong to carry out the order, Zhang Tianhai made a phone call to the headquarters of the 71st Army. The core content was to ask for explosives.
Regarding Zhang Tianhai's sudden request for explosives, Song Xilian also had some doubts and asked him why he was here.
Zhang Tianhai probably found an excuse to excuse it, saying that it was needed to blow up some rocks when building strong fortifications.
Song Xilian didn't suspect anything else, so he agreed and said he would go and say hello to the logistics department.
After Zhang Tianhai hung up the phone, he immediately took a deep breath and broke out in a cold sweat: Is this the first telecommunications fraud case in the Republic of China? And it came earlier than Li Yunlong’s telecom fraud case...
However, all of this is not a big problem. As long as the military commander nods and approves, everything will be fine.
…
Lan Feng's calmness does not mean that the frontline battlefield is so quiet.
On May 4th, a day that should have been set up as Youth Day to commemorate the "May 4th Movement" in later generations, Xuzhou's front line was still in constant battle.
On this day, Tancheng County, a city that had been lost to the national army a few days ago, once again became the center of the battle.
The person responsible for fighting here is the Third Division of Shiyou under the former Northwest Army. This division is designated as the 69th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Since Tancheng County is located northeast of Pi County in the southeastern barrier of Taierzhuang and is the outermost part of the Taierzhuang position, the Japanese army could not capture Pi County where the headquarters of the 60th Army and part of the 85th Army were entrenched. Therefore, Tancheng County was It has become the center of a new round of competition.
The Chinese and Japanese armies launched repeated tug-of-war around Tancheng County——
The Japanese army wanted to capture Tancheng as soon as possible and defeat the Chinese troops outside Taierzhuang. As long as Taierzhuang, the last line of defense outside Xuzhou, was smashed, their troops could go straight to Xuzhou and then to Wuhan!
And what about the national army? Their purpose is very simple. They want to withstand the Japanese army and keep the Japanese out of Taierzhuang!
Only if the Japanese army can be held outside Taierzhuang, Xuzhou will not fall!
Facing the Japanese aircraft and artillery, they knew they were going to die, but they still attacked! The Chinese soldiers are using their thin flesh and blood to block the Japanese aircraft and artillery!
As for Shi Yousan, this person's character is indeed questionable, and it is quite bad. He is a mother when he gives milk, and he may even be a famous "rebellious general", compared to Lu Bu, a general who was scolded as a "house slave with three surnames" Even more excessive.
But the officers and soldiers of the 69th Army under his command were indeed fighting hard.
And later Shi Yousan did indeed suffer retribution - when he wanted to join the Japanese and become a traitor, he was buried alive on the bank of the Yellow River by his sworn brother, the patriotic general Gao Shuxun who was unwilling to become a traitor.
On May 5, there was a melee in Tancheng County on the right wing of southern Shandong and the Taizao Branch Line, and the shouts of killing were loud.
On the same day, the Northwest Army troops of the 27th Division of the 42nd Army of the Second Group Army, which had just been replenished, led by the division commander Lieutenant General Huang Qiaosong, and the Furong Brigade of the Japanese 103rd Division The main force of the regiment fought fiercely at Nigou Xizhuang and killed more than 400 enemy soldiers including Major Ji Zhongye and below.
On the evening of May 5th, the reinforcements of the enemy attacking Tancheng, totaling more than a thousand infantry troops, plus more than 200 cavalry, four tanks, and eight artillery, were stationed at Fengjiayao east of Taierzhuang and connected to the outskirts of Pi County to Taierzhuang. Nianzhuang on the branch line launched an invasion.
At three o'clock in the morning on May 6, the Japanese troops that invaded Nianzhuang were dealt a blow by the Sixtieth Army of the Yunnan Army, the elite of the national army. Not only were the invading troops defeated, but they also suffered heavy casualties. Even Fengjiayao It was also defeated by the Yunnan Army troops that followed.
The recapture of Fengjiayao immediately received high praise from the commander of the Fifth War Zone, who directly sent a commendation telegram to Gao Yinhuai, commander of the 183rd Division of the 60th Army.
On May 7, the enemy in southern Shandong suffered from no progress in Xuzhou for several days, so under the command of frontline commander Rensuke Isotani, the enemy on the left forced the main force to cross Nanyang Lake, but was met head-on by the national army defenders. Beaten, the operation ultimately failed.
On the same day, the National Revolutionary Army Air Force sent more than 20 aircraft to Linyi and Tangtou areas, bombed Japanese airports and destroyed 13 Japanese aircraft.
Also on the same day, the Executive Yuan of the National Government allocated 150,000 yuan to send commissioners to the Oceans to relieve victims in the Taierzhuang War Zone.
The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters and the catkins float, and the life experience is ups and downs. This is the most realistic portrayal of the victims in troubled times. Throughout the ages, there is no consensus!
And that night was also the time when the explosives allocated by the war zone arrived in Lanfeng County, where the first regiment of the third war zone was directly under the jurisdiction.
That night, Zhang Tianhai sent a special agent company and a guard platoon as security forces to garrison the regiment headquarters, while the officers and soldiers of the engineer company began to perform their tasks under Zhang Tianhai's order.
The war is approaching Lan Feng day by day, and there is not much time left for Zhang Tianhai. He must seize all the time and opportunities he can and make adequate preparations.
The weak light of the electric lamp was trying desperately to illuminate this "construction site". Unfortunately, there was no such thing as drones in this era. If there had been, it would have been discovered that the officers and soldiers of the engineer company had almost completely destroyed the entire city defense commander. Everything was dug up, even the side of the building!
…
