After a hard day's work, the Zhang family's dinner finally started.
However, not all the food on the dinner table are Zhang Tiannan's favorite meals, at least most of them are not. There are only one or two dishes that he likes to eat.
Most of the meals look very nutritious and healthy, including some chicken soup and the like.
Zhang Tiannan glanced at his sister-in-law who was eating gracefully, and probably knew that these nutritious and healthy dishes were most likely prepared for her.
However, Zhang Tiannan didn't say anything about all this. He just took a few mouthfuls of rice silently and then asked, "Um...sister-in-law, how is my eldest brother doing on the front line now?"
"Your elder brother is very good. Now he is the leader, or the leader of the reinforcement group, with more than 4,000 people under his command." Zheng Man said casually, with a rather nonchalant expression.
"Four...more than four thousand people..." Zhang Tiannan took a breath. For him, having so many people under his command was something he couldn't even imagine.
"Yes, there are more than 4,000 people. But the frontline battle is a decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people. If you are not careful, your brother's small force will not even be enough to fill the teeth of the little Japanese. One division of the Japanese army There are more than 30,000 people. During the attack on Teng County, more than 10,000 artillery shells were fired into the city a day. Almost the entire city was leveled." Zheng Man said this matter openly. The young man probably hasn't had much contact with his elder brother, so it would be better to let him know about it in advance.
"But, there are more than 4,000 people, which is almost equivalent to two Wuchang security groups..." Zhang Tiannan murmured, seemingly not listening to his sister-in-law's words.
"What's so great about this Wuchang Security Group? Compared with your eldest brother's group, even the four Wuchang Security Groups are no match." Zheng Man said slowly after finishing a mouthful of food. She was quite right. It is also true that the Wuchang Security Corps was not well equipped to begin with. It was only after the Anti-Japanese War began that training was gradually implemented. However, the poor equipment is an established fact that cannot be changed.
Since Zheng Man came from the military intelligence system, she still had permission to see some information about the Wuchang garrison. However, she just took these matters at face value and did not want to deal with so many things.
After hearing Zheng Man's words, Zhang Tiannan couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Then he raised his head and asked, "Is Brother's army really so powerful?"
"Xilou, what you asked is quite incompetent. Since your sister-in-law said so, she must be so powerful." Yu Zhiyun said something to Zhang Tiannan, as if to remind him not to be too rash.
"Oh, Mom. I understand." Zhang Tiannan responded casually.
Zhang Fuhan, who was eating on the side, was eating in silence without saying a word - obviously he was still quite dissatisfied with Zhang Tiannan inheriting his mantle.
"You, if you want to be a soldier, you might as well apply for the Central Military Academy and then become a soldier. Your eldest brother is from the seventh batch of Huangpu, and he can be regarded as a group of people who leave faster in the seventh batch. ." Zheng Man said something, but she felt something was wrong, so she quickly added, "I think we can wait until your eldest brother comes back to talk about the specifics!"
"Brother, when will he come back?" Zhang Tiannan looked a little admired.
Many people will find a peer, or even someone older than themselves, as a goal. But when the goal is so successful that it cannot be surpassed, then this person will naturally become an idol.
Obviously, Zhang Tianhai belongs to this type of person, he is the latter.
Zheng Man thought for a while and said, "Maybe after this battle, your eldest brother's army has not had a holiday for ten months. It has always been close to the front line, otherwise it is on the front line battlefield. What is it specifically? The situation depends on the arrangements made by the Military Commission."
"Oh." Zhang Tiannan responded, then continued to eat.
Zheng Man took a deep look at Zhang Tiannan, but said nothing again.
…
Zhang Tianhai naturally didn't know the situation of his unfamiliar brother.
He was already half drunk at this time. Half asleep and half awake, he and Xu Sangou, who was also almost half drunk, were on their way back to the camp.
"Tuanzuo, you just said that you want to promote me to company commander. Is this true?" Xu Sangou asked with a grin, half drunk and half awake.
I saw Zhang Tianhai pointed at him helplessly and said, "If only you had a little bit of ambition, I would have promoted you. But if you don't live up to expectations, you have to give me a lot of reasons to catch me. You can let me do this." What should I do..."
"Um... the group, I want to apologize to you first. To express my apology, how about we go have some fun?" Xu Sangou said with a smile.
"Looking for fun?" Zhang Tianhai's head was full of black lines. He could already roughly guess what Xu Sangou was talking about.
Xu Sangou lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Tianhai's ear, "That's it..."
But the more Zhang Tianhai listened to him, the darker his face became. When he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Unfortunately, Xu Sangou had another big footprint on his butt.
…
The next day was May 11th in the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China.
Mengcheng.
The fierce fighting here is still going on. The Japanese forward troops have broken into the city and started a fierce street battle with the defenders.
"Duluimou!" A Guijun soldier who spoke in vernacular thrust his bayonet forward into the back of a Japanese soldier!
"Chi!" The sound of a sharp knife entering flesh sounded, and at the same time, the body of the Japanese soldier was stiff.
The sharp knife stabbed his liver, and the intense pain made the Japanese soldier unable to move, and his whole body became tense and stiff. Sometimes it is difficult to defeat the inherent laws of nature with just the will to fight.
After the Japanese soldier was stabbed, the Gui soldier opposite him immediately pushed forward with the rifle with the bayonet in his hand.
The sound of a sharp knife entering flesh sounded again, and the Japanese soldier died instantly.
Before they could be proud, the next Japanese army had already rushed towards them. These thin soldiers of the Gui Army were fighting with their lives against these Japanese soldiers who were much higher than them in terms of physical fitness and military combat quality!
Violent shouts of killing resounded over Mengcheng.
It was precisely because the two armies entered into hand-to-hand combat and close combat that the Japanese army made an exception and did not launch a violent bombardment of Mengcheng.
But the shouts of death and gunshots throughout Mengcheng never stopped.
In several villages outside Mengcheng, there are also a few companies with incomplete structures ambushed, but what's the use? Apart from causing a certain amount of harassment to the Japanese flanks, it had no other great use at all.
The main thing is to rely on the defenders of Mengcheng to resist the Japanese invaders!
