The end of the Battle of Xuzhou does not mean that the war will end.
After the Japanese army occupied Xuzhou, they wanted to march westward. Therefore, Dangshan, guarded by Huang Jie's Eighth Army and Guo Chan's Ninety-fourth Army, became the focus of the audience.
Speaking of the 94th Army, its origin can be traced back to the Chen Tiaoyuan Department of the Fifth Front Army of Sun Chuanfang's "Five Provinces Allied Forces". After the Department defected to the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was immediately reorganized into the Third National Revolutionary Army. The 17th Army, but due to various battles it experienced and the Nationalist Government's intention to downsize, it was finally reduced to the 55th Division, which was affiliated with the Pacification Office in Jiangxi.
Later, due to the intense fighting during the Nanjing Defense War, the 55th Division and the Wuhan Garrison Brigade formed the 94th Army. Guo Chanlai, the deputy commander of the Wuhan Garrison Commander, served as the commander of the 94th Army. Long, and with the gradual development, he barely managed to have more than 20,000 troops under his command.
But the two main divisions under Huang Jie's command, plus the two divisions from Guo Chan's 94th Army, were still somewhat inadequate in front of the main force of the Japanese army.
Therefore, when Xue Yue's First Corps faced the critical situation of the absolute main force of the enemy in the direction of Xuzhou, the commander of the Corps, Xue Yue, immediately issued an order for the entire Corps to enter combat status.
Soon, the "war beast" of the First Corps woke up and began to show its fangs!
…
Of course, the First Regiment directly under the Third Theater Zone, as a combat unit under the 71st Army under the First Corps, naturally received combat readiness orders.
No, the headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater is very busy.
Zhang Tianhai never thought that without Zhou Fangjie as his right-hand man, the regiment would be in such chaos.
Yes, that’s right, it’s “chaotic”.
To be more precise, it's a panic!
The meeting was in a hurry, and the training was also in a hurry. Fortunately, Zhang Tianhai's business quality was excellent, so Zhi Yituan didn't hold back in training.
In short, after Zhou Fangjie left, Zhang Tianhai began to feel a little uncomfortable.
As for the officers transferred from the 87th Division and the 88th Division, Zhang Tianhai first supplemented the staff of the staff department, and then threw the rest directly into the teaching platoon to serve as the teacher of the teaching platoon, and also as a teacher of the teaching platoon. As the reserve officer cadre force for the next stage of the Zhiyi Regiment!
Soon, all the officers and cadres of the direct regiment arrived. In addition to the school-level officers who were regarded as the backbone by Zhang Tianhai, officers from the direct regiments such as Liu Houming and others also arrived.
Looking at the packed room, anyone can see the difference in this meeting. This is a meeting where everyone is mobilizing for war!
This is Zhang Tianhai's habit. Before every battle, the military chiefs of the main troops of the Zhiyi Regiment must be gathered to give lectures.
Only this time, the person sitting on Zhang Tianhai's left was no longer Zhou Fangjie, but Guo Qiliang, and the one on the right was Gu Shi'an.
This time, the three giants of the Zhiyi Regiment have all been replaced by Huangpu seventh-term students!
The officers sitting in the two rows were still rehearsed in order: First Battalion Commander Li Chunfei, Second Battalion Commander Lu Shaojie, Third Battalion Commander Wang Ziqing, Fourth Battalion Commander Han Xingle, Cavalry Battalion Commander Wang Yongcheng, Artillery Battalion Commander Zhao Chengge, political training section chief He Jiye, spy company commander Liu Houming, engineer company commander Li Chengjie, mortar company commander Huang Daji, small artillery company commander...
The military commanders of the eighteen military combat units, together with the three military commanders of the Zhiyi Regiment, made the small meeting set up on the side a little crowded.
"Everyone, I believe you are all aware of the current situation. Yesterday, Liu Ruming's 69th Army evacuated Xuzhou. Xuzhou has been declared lost." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, very direct and without any mince words. .
After hearing the news, all the officers present looked stern: They all knew what the regimental officer meant when he said this? This means that the highest military commander of the Zhiyi Regiment is ready for a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders.
"Everyone, you are all old men who have followed me, Zhang Yulin, for a long time. I can tell you so clearly that this battle is more dangerous than any battle we have experienced before. It may be even more dangerous than myself. They will bury their bones on the battlefield." Zhang Tianhai's voice was still extremely low, but anyone could hear his determination.
Everyone present was silent, except for the birds outside the window chirping.
Zhang Tianhai glanced around the crowd and saw that everyone in front of him had serious expressions. His expression moved slightly, then he stood up and said loudly: "You are all old people who have been following me for a long time. Logically speaking, I, Zhang Yulin, Even if you want to die, you should never drag everyone to the end. Now, I will give you two ways. One is to fight to the death with me in this battle to the Japanese army; the other is to withdraw from our third party. The war zone is directly under the first regiment, and I, Zhang Yulin, can guarantee that he will not be punished in any way!"
Zhang Tianhai was very eloquent when he said it, and no one would question his determination, because he has always been a person who can do what he says, and all the officers and soldiers in the regiment know this!
What Zhang Tianhai never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, all the officers present stood up and almost unanimously shouted: "I am willing to follow the regiment to kill the enemy." Get rid of the invaders and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders!!"
What Zhang Tianhai didn't expect was that He Jiye, the chief of the Political Training Section who had always been "ignorant of worldly affairs" and just followed the rules, was among the people who stood up, and his expression was also very excited.
The lectures at this meeting were not the same as before. It was not the meeting where Zhang Tianhai encouraged everyone to have confidence to fight the Japanese invaders.
But this time, Zhang Tianhai was really determined to die!
He wants to go crazy for the millions of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River!
Any group or individual that prevents him from achieving this goal must be eliminated. This time, there is no room for mistakes!
This meeting was not only a meeting where Zhang Tianhai wanted to declare that he would fight to the end, but also an inoculation for all the officers of the Zhiyi Regiment - a heavy blow for the crazy move he would make next. vaccination!
Defending a city or having the entire regiment follow him to disobey orders would be a recipe for loss.
Zhang Tianhai does not expect everyone to be like him, fighting to the end to preserve the Yellow River embankment.
Because people at this time are different from him as a time traveler. From the perspective of people in this era, the future is confusing and anything can happen.
Only Zhang Tianhai knew best what would happen next. Originally, Zhou Fangjie, a person who knew his intentions, stayed at the headquarters of the Zhiyi Regiment, and Guo Qiliang, a best friend, old classmate, and old comrade-in-arms, fully supported him, so everything would not be a problem.
But things are different now. Zhou Fangjie has been transferred. Now Gu Shi'an is the chief of staff and Guo Qiliang is the deputy commander. There has been a change in the leadership team. This means that Zhang Tianhai may not be able to change the whole group as before. It became his one word.
Therefore, he must be fully prepared!
"Very good. I, Zhang Yulin, am here to thank you all in advance. I want to thank you all for the millions of people on the south bank of the Yellow River. This battle, including Zhang Yulin, the leader of the regiment, has been very miserable. Look at it. But I am a Chinese, and I have pure Yanhuang blood! I am willing to shed my blood for this land of China. Everyone, after this battle begins, no matter what happens, you must do it. The order is forbidden! Even if you follow me, Zhang Yulin, to die together, can you do it?!" Zhang Tianhai roared loudly.
"Yes!!!" The officers of the Zhiyi Regiment responded in unison, with murderous intent.
Only He Jiye frowned slightly: There is something wrong with this trend...
