After giving all these instructions, Zhang Tianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief: Only by completing all the things that need to be done can he have a clear conscience.
The army continued to move south, and Zhang Tianhai also knew that Heze might not be able to hold out for long.
He, Zhang Tianhai, is trying his best to annihilate the Japanese army and destroy the Japanese army, but now it seems that it is still a drop in the bucket. He still cannot stop the Japanese invaders from invading south.
The key at this stage is to choose the focus.
It is necessary to plan limited power to key areas.
In addition, Zhang Tianhai is already planning to reorganize the Heze Security Group.
The Heze Security Group lost almost half of its people in the battle at Yangzhuang, and half of those who lost their lives ran away.
How could Zhang Tianhai endure this situation? At present, the Heze Security Group still falls under his jurisdiction, that is, it belongs to his troops.
Zhang Tianhai definitely couldn't bear to have such a scumbag army under his command, but he didn't have time to rectify it at this stage.
This is the trouble of not having a fixed base.
As long as there is a fixed base, Zhang Tianhai can train a force with strong combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes.
Zhang Tianhai wanted to expand the army appropriately, but he couldn't blindly expand the army. If the troops were all like the Heze Security Group, there would be no point in having a division.
It’s really a long road to look back eastward...
There’s a long way to go!
…
One morning was enough for the Japanese army to completely collapse the city wall. The Japanese infantry troops began to rush into the city and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the troops of the 23rd Division of the Eighth National Army.
The sound of killing shook the sky!
At this time, the former Heze City Defense Headquarters was now the 23rd Division Headquarters.
"The Japanese army has entered the city, burn the documents! Don't let these documents fall into the hands of the little devils." Li Bifan ordered his adjutant.
"Yes, Master." Adjutant Chen responded.
"Bifan, why don't you order the troops to retreat now? If it's later, I'm afraid we won't be able to retreat. The Japanese have already entered the city, and they will attack our headquarters soon." Chief of Staff Huang Qidong persuaded One sentence.
The slightly dim light shone on Li Bifan's face, but Li Bifan calmly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if we also withdraw, the army will definitely collapse. If we don't withdraw, the army may still be able to survive." It lasted a while.”
"But if we don't withdraw, we really won't be able to withdraw." Huang Qidong reminded Li Bifan again in a deep voice.
Li Bifan smiled and said: "Brother Xiahe, I understand what you mean, but the order we received is to delay the Japanese army as much as possible to buy time for the army in the rear to assemble. If I can survive one more day , the army at the rear will have one more day to prepare, and our chances of winning will be even better."
"Okay, if that's the case, then I will really sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today. I will buy time and opportunities for our national army to gather in the rear and win the battle." Huang Qidong gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is extremely skinny——
The gunshots outside are getting closer and closer, which means that the Japanese army is advancing at an unusually fast speed!
Don't forget, the Eighth Army now is not the Eighth Army when it was just reorganized from the Tax Police Corps.
When the Tax Police Corps was first reorganized, these soldiers had been trained for a long time, well-trained, and more importantly, well-equipped, and there were a group of elite soldiers that Song Ziwen carefully "recruited".
At that time, the Eighth Army was at its peak - but it was different now. After the Eighth Army experienced the Battle of Songhu, it had already suffered heavy casualties, and there were basically a large number of new recruits under the unit.
The combat effectiveness has naturally been greatly reduced, so the troops of the 23rd Division simply cannot resist for so long.
As for the Japanese troops, they naturally headed towards the city defense headquarters.
Don't ask why these Japanese troops knew the address of the City Defense Headquarters - their intelligence agency was not a vegetarian. As early as a week before the Japanese troops entered the city, there were various intelligence personnel active in the next direction of the Japanese army's attack. .
You don't need many such spies, just two or three, which is enough to outline the general area of a city in two days.
As for the question of why Zhang Tianhai doesn’t train some talents in this area...
Ahem, there’s probably no need to ask.
With Zhang Tianhai's current state, it is already good to be able to revive the troops and maintain their combat effectiveness.
As for others, it is already very good to be able to survive and linger, let alone reorganize a powerful and well-equipped army.
How to describe Zhang Tianhai's state at this time? Probably only good steel is used on the blade.
The current state of the group is already considered good. If there is another battle like Tangtou, it will only make the combat effectiveness worse.
If it wasn't a particularly important battle, Zhang Tianhai wouldn't even want to send out large troops for a head-on confrontation.
Yes, for Zhang Tianhai, what he wants most is the integration of guerrilla warfare and special operations, so as to obtain the greatest results at an absolutely small cost.
However, such operations often require the cooperation of large enemy forces.
As a result, Zhang Tianhai could only find every opportunity to carefully plan a battle.
Well, if you can avoid a head-on battle, try to avoid a head-on conflict, and use the power of a lion to fight a rabbit to eliminate one of the enemy's main forces.
…
The camera turned back to Heze.
Ozawa Banzo was a Japanese squadron leader. He personally led the troops to break through the gap in the city corner.
The time to make great achievements is coming. At this moment, he also holds a city defense map of Heze in his arms. His target is the city defense headquarters!
Except for the city defense headquarters, there is no other place more suitable as the enemy's headquarters!
"Ha Youku!! Charge, charge!!" Ozawa Bansan's command sword was raised high, and the direction his sword was pointing was the headquarters of Li Bifan's 23rd Division!
As an assault force, Ozawa's squadron was equipped with a large number of mortars, in order to destroy the defense line of the national army and quickly defeat the national army's defense!
As a member of the Fourteenth Division, he knew very well that this battle was not only their first day, but also most likely the most glorious day of the Fourteenth Division.
Just imagine, the 10th Division, which is composed of elites known as the "Imperial Road Sect", was overturned in Taierzhuang, while the 5th Division of the "Steel Army" under the command of Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, known as the "Star General of the Army", could not Was a whole brigade in Linyi also wiped out?
Under this situation, if the 14th Division can win several battles, it will definitely be glorious.
Only when the development prospects of the division are good can grassroots officers like them rise quickly!
Therefore, these officers of the 14th Division are full of fighting spirit. They want to capture Heze and then head straight towards Kaifeng to defeat the main force of the national army head-on!
Of course, this is not only because they have fighting spirit, but also because they have the confidence and strength!
