The weak light shone on Zhang Tianhai's handsome and resolute face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Only he himself knows, and he is calculating how long it will take before the war is coming. Judging from the timetable, he still has fourteen days, but God knows whether Chief Cheng and Chief Xue will have a hot head. They were transferred directly from the Third War Zone on the first day.
You know, the first regiment directly under the third theater now belongs to the battle order of the 71st Army. When the fight starts, what if Commander Xue and the others think that the 27th Army is more suitable to guard Lanfeng?
If it goes as expected, the Dofeiyuan division is now in a state of assembly, and they are probably heading towards Dangshan or Kaifeng.
It is clearly written in the history books - Doihara Kenji's 14th Division is not easy to mess with. Counting the reinforced troops, there are a total of 40,000 troops. They have whatever they want, and the artillery of the artillery regiment alone can reach them. One hundred and forty-four doors!
The Doihara Division was originally assigned an artillery regiment. This artillery regiment had thirty-six 75mm caliber mountain guns, plus twelve 75mm caliber field guns. The firepower was already extremely strong. In addition, Do they still have two heavy artillery regiments?
Compared with the firepower of the heavy artillery regiment, the firepower of the ordinary artillery regiment is like a joke-their heavy artillery regiment has thirty-six 120mm caliber howitzer heavy artillery, plus Twelve 75mm caliber field guns!
The two heavy artillery regiments, including the artillery regiment directly under the 14th Division, have seventy-two 120mm caliber howitzers, thirty-six 75mm caliber field guns, and thirty-six 75mm caliber howitzers on paper. Mountain artillery, coupled with its own combat troops of more than 30,000 people, with this firepower configuration, crushing the first regiment directly under their third theater is like a joke.
This is a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, and it is not something that their mere four thousand troops can be involved in casually.
If they act rashly, all four thousand of them will have to deal with it here, and it won't even be enough to squeeze people's teeth, so they can use clever methods, that is to say, they can only fight the most critical battles.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai became a little lost in thought.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Fangjie patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder, pulling Zhang Tianhai out of his thoughts of memories.
"No...nothing..." Zhang Tianhai stammered. After all, if you want to think of a reason in a hurry, you have to use your brain.
"I just saw you in a trance. Do you miss your Zheng Man again?" Zhou Fangjie joked to Zhang Tianhai.
"It's nice to think about it, but there's nothing you can do about it, right? This place is thousands of miles away from Wuhan. It's not easy to see it once." Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile.
"Perhaps after this battle, our troops will have to withdraw to the rear for replenishment. The military situation in Xuzhou is urgent now. According to the frontline battle report, there are traces of enemies outside Mengcheng. It seems that the Japanese really want to eat them. The main force of the fifth theater of our army..." Zhou Fangjie smiled, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was enjoying himself in hardship.
"Maybe! The Japanese army is ambitious and wants to kill the main force of my fifth theater unit. The next battle will only be worse. If you and I don't die, we will definitely be withdrawn to the rear for repairs." Zhang Tianhai nodded and said.
In Zhang Tianhai's view, it was indeed much more dangerous than the battle in Linyi and the battle in Yi County, and its level of danger was almost comparable to that of staying in Nanjing despite his orders.
There are more than 4,400 people, which does seem like a lot, but don't forget that the enemy they are about to face is almost armed to the teeth. Even if they want to defend Lanfeng to the death, with the enemy's artillery firepower It was so ferocious that it could raze Lanfeng County to the ground.
Even if they managed to survive this battle, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
This kind of premonition, whether it is Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, or Guo Qiliang, their premonition is very strong.
Although the National Army is not defeated now, and large units are still actively fighting the Japanese army, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Japanese army is gradually oppressing the living space of the National Army, and a large net is being formed in order to capture the National Army on the Xuzhou front line. Catch all the troops in one fell swoop!
"I don't know if we can survive!" Zhou Fangjie's mentality was not too optimistic. Ever since he guessed the Japanese army's strategic intentions, he had been full of pessimism about the war in Xuzhou.
"We will definitely survive. It depends on how we fight this battle. If we don't fight well, we will all be doomed." Zhang Tianhai smiled and spread his hands, feeling quite like a desperado.
Indeed, Zhang Tianhai's gameplay is undoubtedly like dancing on the tip of a knife. The key is, it depends on whether he can succeed in this wave of operations. If he can succeed in this operation, he will undoubtedly receive a lot of praise and applause. Yes, if you can't play it, then there is only the word "death".
"Then let's try it." Zhou Fangjie's eyes also flashed with heat. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but their eyes were as crazy as death!
Unknowingly, Zhou Fangjie has been infected by this madman Zhang Tianhai - if you are close to Zhu, you will be red, if you are close to Mo, you will be black. Obviously, after being with Zhang Tianhai for a long time, Zhou Fangjie has gradually become crazy!
Yes, yes, Zhang Tianhai is indeed a madman, and a very calm madman. Before he acts, he will plan how to implement these plans, and the most important feature of these plans is that the risks are high, and the rewards are also high. Big!
But without exception, these plans are very risky. If you are not careful, you will be burned to the point of leaving no trace behind.
In order to make these so-called "perfect" preparations, Zhang Tianhai's rest has become irregular recently.
As the war drew closer, Zhang Tianhai's mood became heavier and heavier. If he didn't make these preparations, he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.
He knew very well what the outcome of the failure of the Battle of Lanfeng was - Chiang Kai-shek blew up the Huayuankou embankment, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River turned into a swamp, and the city of Lanfeng would also cease to exist in the monstrous floods.
Perhaps the sense of responsibility in Zhang Tianhai's mind is too heavy, so heavy that he has to find every way to shoulder this heavy burden, so heavy that he wants to risk his life and save the lives of millions of Chinese people!
Zhang Tianhai is a member of the generation who grew up under the red flag. He grew up in a people-oriented environment. He cannot treat human life as nothing!
Perhaps, God wants him to return to this era just to save these poor people in this era?
Looking at the starry night sky, Zhang Tianhai couldn't figure out why God wanted him to return to this era.
…
The engineering company's excavation speed is very fast, and in order to ensure the detonation effect, these explosives cannot be buried that deep. Not only cannot they be buried deep, but they must also try their best to bury them shallower.
So, after a whole night of hard work, the officers and soldiers of the engineer company finally completed placing explosives at the main locations under the city defense headquarters. The key point was that they also took waterproofing measures.
Since that night, Zhang Tianhai has issued a military order - no one is allowed to smoke in the regiment headquarters. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law.
What is the meaning of this "military punishment"? In fact, everyone knows that it is execution by shooting.
Although everyone didn't know why Tuanzuo, who always smoked when he was irritable, issued this military order, no one dared to touch this brow. If Tuanzuo got angry, he might even lose his life.
No one would be stupid enough to risk their own lives to do such boring things. What's more, the group members also smoke regularly, which means they are not disgusted with smoking. There must be a reason for issuing such a strict order now.
Ever since, the magical "smoking ban" began to be implemented...
