"However, Zhang Yulin, what I'm more curious about is why do you think that the Corps will refuse to save us?" Gu Shi'an said bluntly. Since it was private and they were Huangpu classmates, they just called each other by their first names. .
"I have also said before that Heze is a place of death. From the perspective of the art of war, it is a place of death and no life. Once the enemy forces surround us, our army will not be able to set up a rescue position in the Heze area. There will be no The conditions for a big battle here." Zhang Tianhai's expression was very solemn.
"Then if you look at it as you see it, since the Corps knew this was a mortal enemy, why did they send a group of us straight north to Heze?" Gu Shi'an also frowned.
"Perhaps they were coordinating the Xuzhou battle, or they underestimated the Japanese army's combat effectiveness. However, I think the possibility of the latter is extremely small, and the former is mostly likely." Zhang Tianhai said.
"Xuzhou? Now that the Japanese army is about to shrink its encirclement in Xuzhou, are you planning to support the Xuzhou operation at this time?" Gu Shi'an immediately looked at the map, and saw that on the map, several large red arrows symbolizing the Japanese army were already approaching Xuzhou.
"Yes, I think it is to support Xuzhou. Heze is a deadly enemy to the Kaifeng front line, but to Xuzhou, it is like riveting a nail on the enemy's periphery." Zhang Tianhai said on the map on the desktop , pointed to the location of Xuzhou, and then pointed to the location of Heze.
"Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are besieging the outskirts of Xuzhou. The purpose is to completely annihilate the main force of the fifth theater. We only have about 5,000 people combined. What can we do? It is still difficult to win a city." Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, obviously he didn't understand.
"Who knows what the commander is thinking? Maybe he wants to leave a retreat for Xuzhou's troops, but it's a pity... this retreat is destined to be unreachable." Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly. He remembered clearly that the troops on the 1st None of the main forces in the fifth theater retreated from his direction.
In addition, Kenji Doihara's 14th Division immediately moved south after strengthening the two heavy artillery regiments. The troops of the 1st Regiment are in danger of falling at any time, so Heze cannot defend Heze. Got it!
"Then can you tell me your current preparation plan?" Gu Shi'an looked at Zhang Tianhai.
After Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, he clicked on two places on the map in the northwest and back direction of Heze, and then said, "I sent people to survey these two places, one is Huzhai Village, and the other is from Linpu Town. North, these two places are very suitable for setting up pontoon bridges to cross. Therefore, the Japanese army is very likely to set up pontoon bridges to cross from these two places."
Before Gu Shian could speak, Zhang Tianhai sighed deeply, "It's a pity. If our troops had arrived here some time earlier, we might have been able to do something about it. It's a pity that our transfer order came too late, or maybe Said, it came at a bad time..."
"What about now? I'm afraid it's too late for these two places now, right? The Japanese army will definitely arrive there within two days." Gu Shi'an looked embarrassed. It took so much time to integrate a group of ragtag people as the main force for defense and traps. ? This must be a very difficult thing.
"So, I plan to allocate two classes of people from the teaching platoon to you, and use these two classes to quickly establish a cadre structure. Anyway, the people of these two classes are given to you, and they will serve as the main cadres of the two battalions. !" Zhang Tianhai said sternly, but in fact he felt very distressed in his heart - the soldiers of the teaching platoon were reserved as supplements for the troops of the first regiment...
Just because of a Heze security team, two of his classes were taken away at once, but nearly half of them were...can you not feel bad?
Don't forget, the teaching platoon is called a platoon, but the number of soldiers is far more than one platoon. These soldiers are organized into four classes, so the number of people in the two classes is already more than fifty...
"That's more or less the same. Since you became the regiment leader, you have immediately become more fussy about things. Well, this person in the teaching platoon was obviously brought back by me. Now it's better, it can be said that everything has returned to its original state. Lord, you are still arguing with me..." Gu Shi'an pointed at Zhang Tianhai with a helpless face and smiled.
"Hehe, of course. In the past, when I was not a householder, I didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive. Now that we are the householder, we have to save money." Zhang Tianhai chuckled.
"However, no matter what, I still have to carry out this mission. I just don't know where, Yulin, you want to attack the enemy?" Gu Shi'an asked.
"Of course they are the Japanese troops in the direction of Huzhai Village." Zhang Tianhai said directly without thinking, "Our current goal is not to defend Heze, so we must attack the Japanese troops in the direction of Lanfeng. "
"What do you mean, we will go back to Lanfeng directly after the fight? What if the little devil follows us?" Gu Shi'an frowned.
"So, this is why the Duanhou Camp is needed." Zhang Tianhai looked at the map and said, then pointed at Heze.
"You mean... let Duanhou Camp guard Heze?!" Gu Shi'an's voice was almost exclaimed in surprise.
"Shhh..." Zhang Tianhai made a silence gesture, and then continued, "The longer Heze is defended, the smoother our regiment's retreat will be."
"But if this is the case, isn't this battalion going to become an outcast like Xie Jinyuan's guard at Si Xing Warehouse?" Gu Shi'an finally couldn't bear it. After all, after he took office as the commander of the regiment, This battalion is his army.
"There is no other way. Apart from this, there is no better way." Zhang Tianhai said, "Of course, when the time comes, your regiment can also order a breakout. But the hope of a successful breakout is not very high... …”
In fact, to be honest, Zhang Tianhai didn't want to do this from the bottom of his heart, but did he have any other better way?
If this plan was not implemented, the battle in Heze would have killed all the officers and soldiers of the entire first regiment directly under the third theater and the entire Heze security regiment.
This place in Heze cannot be defended, not to mention that the Japanese army carries so many heavy artillery, which can level the place in Heze alive. The more than 5,000 people staying here are simply going to die.
Rather than burying them all here, it is better to make a small sacrifice in exchange for maximum battlefield initiative.
"Then let me ask you, Commander Zhang, who is qualified for this task?!" Gu Shi'an was unwilling to use this method to gain the initiative on the battlefield.
The main force of the Japanese army is about to move eastward, and the strength of the troops going south is so strong. Once Heze is surrounded, there is almost no hope of survival. Although he is the commander who is ready to take office, there are some things he must not Don't think about it.
"Two battalions, you can pick one." Zhang Tianhai said seriously, "However, brothers will always die in war. The Japanese army is too strong. I can only use this method to try to save our first regiment and our army. The greatest strength of the Heze Security Group must also dampen the spirit of the Japanese troops marching south!"
