Lanfeng, the third theater is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment.
Two telegrams broke the tranquility of the first regiment directly under the third theater of war.
"Report to the regiment! The military department urgently conveys the frontline battle report!" A combat staff officer came to Zhang Tianhai's "big classroom" to report.
Yes, that's right, it's a big classroom.
In the past few days, Zhang Tianhai has begun to assume the position of teaching platoon teacher, and it is now class time.
After hearing this report, Zhang Tianhai walked out of the temporary simple classroom without thinking, leaving only the officers and soldiers of the teaching platoon looking at each other in shock.
There is no other reason, just because Zhang Tianhai has ordered that no disruption to the order of class is allowed unless there is something particularly urgent.
Since this combat staff member is here to report, it must be a very critical matter.
"What kind of battle report is it?" Zhang Tianhai asked holding his breath, but something happened on the front line that required him to lead the troops to put out the fire.
"Regimental officer, please read it for yourself!" The combat staff officer handed Zhang Tianhai a piece of text translation paper that had been translated. "By the way, regimental commander, Deputy Commander Zhou is waiting for you to return at the regimental headquarters."
"Well, I'll go back now." Zhang Tianhai nodded, then returned to the classroom to announce his self-study, and then hurried back to the regiment headquarters.
…
After Zhang Tianhai left, the classroom immediately became lively, which was exactly the same as when the teacher left in school.
However, the noise here revolves around the departure of the group.
"Sanshui, I bet you that something big is going on." One of the soldiers with a sinister look said to his comrade Li Sanshui sitting next to him.
Li Sanshui is not ugly, but has good features. He looks like a gentleman.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Something big must have happened. If everything is not saved, we may have to go to the battlefield immediately. This group has been our teacher for a few days, but he has never missed a class. This will be a hurry. The ground is gone, you can think about it with your butt." Li Sanshui said with a hum.
"Hey, what you said is meaningless... Why don't we make a bet and see what happens?" said the soldier with a sinister look.
"Don't bet, don't bet, this is too bad luck." Li Sanshui's head shook like a rattle.
…
The scene shifts to the headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
Zhang Tianhai strode into the regimental operations hall, his chest still breathing heavily, obviously coming here in a hurry.
Considering the limited space in the regiment headquarters, Zhang Tianhai did not arrange the temporary classroom of the teaching platoon inside the regiment headquarters, but arranged it in a large house about two hundred meters away from the regiment headquarters.
Yes, the kind that was requisitioned urgently.
"Old Zhou, what's going on?" This was the first thing Zhang Tianhai asked after walking into the regiment headquarters.
"You can talk after you read the telegram in your hand!" Zhou Fangjie saw Zhang Tianhai's flustered look and looked very anxious, so he guessed that he went back to the regiment headquarters without reading the contents of the telegram.
At this time, Zhang Tianhai remembered that there was a telegram in his hand, and he became confused.
I saw this message saying - All combat units under the First Theater Command, the Japanese vanguard troops have entered Mengcheng from the south, and are very likely to break into the defense area of our First Theater Command in the near future. All combat units are requested to do this. Be prepared for first-level combat readiness and be ready to go into battle at any time. Commander-in-Chief of the First War Zone, emergency call at 11:30 pm on May 10, 27th year of the Republic of China.
After reading this order, Zhang Tianhai's expression became a little strange indeed: Wasn't the first regiment directly under their third theater always preparing with the strongest combat readiness? Weren't we already prepared for the Japanese army's invasion of Mengcheng? What does Lao Zhou want to do?
Seeing Zhang Tianhai's strange expression, Zhou Fangjie had already guessed what he was thinking about in the atmosphere.
So, Zhou Fangjie smiled bitterly and said: "Old Zhang, don't look at me like that. I asked you to come back because we really have important matters to discuss..."
After hearing these words, Zhang Tianhai's expression softened a little, and he said: "Oh, tell me then! What is going on."
"It's the military seat. After forwarding this telegram from the commander's department, he immediately called our regiment headquarters. He said that the commander's headquarters of the Fifth Theater Command in Xuzhou had accurately judged the Japanese army's combat intentions. Let us Be prepared for all battles. You also asked me to convey it to you immediately." Zhou Fangjie explained with a wry smile.
"Oh? The fifth theater has made a completely accurate judgment?" Zhang Tianhai was a little surprised. For him, this news was indeed of relatively valuable value.
"Yes, I don't know why the military commander is so impatient. I must tell you immediately." Zhou Fangjie really didn't understand what Song Xilian was doing, and he didn't know if he was interested in Zhang Tianhai's brain.
At this moment, another urgent telegram arrived.
"Reporting to the regiment leader, deputy commander, an urgent call from the headquarters of the First Theater Commander!" The person who came to report this time was Gu Shi'an, director of the staff department.
"Urgent telegram?!" Zhang Tianhai's face changed slightly. After all, it was not a special situation. The headquarters of the theater commander would not have sent such an urgent telegram, and the note was an urgent telegram!
"Member of the delegation, please take a look at it!" Gu Shi'an handed the telegram to Zhang Tianhai.
Zhang Tianhai received the telegram, his expression changed drastically!
So what is this telegram about? It's very simple - the combat troops under the jurisdiction of the First War Zone, according to frontline intelligence reports, the enemy has assembled a powerful combat troops in Pu County, north of the Yellow River. The strength of its troops is no less than a division, and there are More than one artillery regiment will be strengthened, and a large number of mechanized units will be strengthened. It is hoped that all troops will be ready to assemble and go into battle at any time. Especially the troops under the First Corps. Headquarters of the First Theater Commander, May 10, 27th of the Republic of China, 11:42 pm, urgent call!
After seeing this information, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but ignore it. Pu County is very close to Lanfeng. After Heze, it is Lanfeng!
(Note: Pu County is now part of Puyang City, namely Pucheng Town.)
If your guess is correct, the troops assembled in Pu County are most likely the 14th Division of Kenji Doihara!
The drama of the Battle of Lanfeng is about to begin!
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with you? Looking at your face, it's quite bad. So what if a Japanese division is assembled in Pu County? Our First Corps now has four armies plus one Division, these four armies are all troops of our Central Army. Even if they come over, I think they may not get a good deal." Zhou Fangjie said very confidently.
Zhou Fangjie's self-confidence did not come out of thin air. It was the confidence given to him by the strong strength of the First Corps. These four armies, plus Wang Jinzai's newly formed 35th Division, were nearly fifteen An army of 100,000 people, including the first regiment directly under their third theater, it is already a total army of 150,000 people!
A division only has more than 30,000 people, and with the reinforcement of troops, it only has more than 40,000 people. Judging from the paper data, does it seem that the national army has the advantage?
Haha, only Zhang Tianhai knows the specific details...
