North of the Yellow River, there is a place called Xu Town.
The scenery here should be beautiful and the people are plowing the fields full of yearning for spring, but at this time, there is no one on the streets.
It's like a dead city.
No, it's not a dead city. Groups of Japanese troops wearing straw-yellow uniforms are marching into this town.
In the leading armored vehicle, Kenji Doihara's fat face was slumped tightly, for fear of encountering some special situation.
The troops of the 14th Division moved south. For Kenji Doihara, this was originally a big challenge, and it was also a matter of coordinating so many troops in operational planning.
The battle was about to start, and Kenji Doihara seemed to see the flag of victory flying high.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the area where the main force of the Fourteenth Division is located, with the support of three artillery regiments, the Fourteenth Division can easily win the battle!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this entry into the city will be the starting point of victory! The military fortune will last forever!" Colonel Sano Tadayoshi said loudly, and the confidence in his words could not be stopped no matter what.
"That's natural. This time, all the main forces of our division are crossing south for victory! Bringing infinite glory to the imperial army!" Standing on the slope, Kenji Doihara stood with his sword in his sights, looking towards the Yellow River. Towards the south, the strong confidence in his words was also mixed with arrogance, which could not be concealed.
With his current strength, he does have the capital to be arrogant!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, tomorrow is the time to witness our victory. The engineering troops are already preparing to lay the pontoon bridge. When our army passes by, we will win the North China battlefield." Sano Tadayoshi's mouth was already full of tears. It was raised gently, as if being promoted to a noble rank was tomorrow!
"Sano-kun's words are very reasonable. As long as our troops pass by, they will go straight to the retreat of the troops in the fifth theater of the China Army! Victory is coming soon." Kenji Doihara smiled, as if victory was just around the corner. Seconds.
"Haha..." The two military commanders of the Japanese 14th Division looked at each other and smiled, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
…
South of the Yellow River, Yangzhuang.
At this time, Yangzhuang has probably become a large factory. Zhang Tianhai has already sent people to properly resettle the people in the village.
Yangzhuang is not big, just enough to accommodate seven or eight hundred people, or about two hundred households. It is considered a relatively large village on the edge of the Yellow River.
The officers and soldiers of the engineering company were carrying out excavation work in order to dig a solid hole under the house to prevent shelling.
Zhang Tianhai did not return to the city, but spent time in Yangzhuang. He wanted to supervise the work!
If it were someone else, Zhang Tianhai might not be able to rest assured - because he required that the anti-gun fortifications dug should not only be strong but also concealed.
Zhang Tianhai doesn't want any little devil to find the entrance to these anti-gun fortifications. He wants to make these little devils feel despair!
"Reporting to the regiment, Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Chengge, I have been ordered to report to you! Please give instructions to the regiment!" Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Chengge strode to Zhang Tianhai's side and stood at attention, saluting.
"Just come. This time, all I ask of your artillery battalion is that in addition to shooting accurately, you must also run fast after shooting!" Zhang Tianhai's eyes that were staring at the construction site in the distance turned to stare at He looked at Zhao Chengge.
"Yes, the group!" After Zhao Chengge responded, he couldn't help but ask: "But what I don't understand is, why should we run away? Shouldn't we withdraw to Heze?"
"Who told you that we have to defend Heze? After this battle, your artillery battalion, together with the baggage battalion and the first battalion, will return to Lanfeng immediately. You don't need to ask about the rest. This is a military secret." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"But..." Before Zhao Chengge could finish speaking, Zhang Tianhai continued: "You remember, this is a military secret. I have only told you about this arrangement. If it is leaked, only military law will be heard!"
Although Zhao Chengge still didn't understand Zhang Tianhai's intention, but the military orders were overwhelming, he could only obey them: "Yes, regimental seat!"
"If possible, try to set up your artillery position in the southwest. After all, it is relatively close to Lanfeng." Zhang Tianhai's beautiful starry eyes revealed a rare ruthlessness.
This operation can be described as taking advantage of the fire. Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but feel nervous. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of annihilating his entire army.
Even compared to the time he stayed in Nanjing, this time was more dangerous.
That time, there was chaos everywhere, and he was also familiar with this period of history, which gave him an opportunity for Zhang Tianhai to take advantage of.
But now? The familiar history seems to have undergone some changes, but nothing seems to have changed.
What remains unchanged is that the troop deployment of the First Corps of the First Theater Zone is still rolling along the original trajectory according to history; but what has changed is that he, Zhang Tianhai, has to lead the Zhiyi Regiment to face the Fourteenth Army alone. The absolute main force of the division!
If it weren't for his arrival, the Heze Security Regiment would have disappeared in the long river of history.
Could it be that... Zhang Yulin really wants to lead the Heze security team to make the same mistake again? More importantly, will the First Regiment directly under the Third Theater Zone disappear into the long river of history like Zhang Yulin?
If he disappears, everything that happened after he came to this era will return to the original state of history.
Zhang Tianhai seems calm, but anyone can feel the turbulence beneath his calm expression!
This is the calm before the storm!
After arranging Zhao Chengge's work in the artillery battalion, Zhang Tianhai fell into a burst of inexplicable anxiety: this was due to the nervousness about unknown history.
This is a bit similar to the embarrassment of students who have always had a certain level of strength, but mostly relied on cheat sheets to get first place in their grade. Suddenly they have no cheat sheets and are faced with test questions of the same difficulty.
Although there is still a high chance of getting high marks in the test, the feeling of uncertainty and powerlessness that one feels without cheat sheets cannot be concealed.
"Where is Liu Houming, the commander of the special agent company? Let him come to see me!" Zhang Tianhai directly ordered to the adjutant Wang Liang beside him.
"Yes! Sir!" Wang Liang responded, but he was still a little uncomfortable with the current feeling - this was the first time he saw the leader of the group not looking calm and wise.
You don't need to think about it to know that this battle is very dangerous, and even the group members who are usually so calm have begun to lose their composure...
But for Zhang Tianhai, this was a real battle for him to get rid of the shackles of history, and he had to be as precise as a doctor operating on someone.
Looking at the Battle of Songhu, it was arranged for a breakout under the command of Commander Hu Jiaji; the Battle of Nanjing was also carried out in the direction of a breakout who was familiar with history; and the Battle of Linyi, it was known that there would be reinforcements, and Understand the general direction of history and conduct command.
Even if it is disobedience, it is to achieve the greatest victory.
But now? This is a black eye. If you are not careful, some of your troops will be surrounded by Japanese troops that are several times larger than your own and well-equipped.
All in all, this battle is not an ordinary dangerous one!
