"Yes! Military seat, I humbly accept my order!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted, with a very serious expression.
The 259th Brigade is responsible for attacking areas east of Shuangta Ji and south of Neihuang Ji. The Japanese army is relying on this stronghold to resist desperately in an attempt to cover the back of its large forces.
This is also a place where the Japanese army is trying to hold on despite all their efforts. If it falls here, the Japanese army will be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides!
…
To the west of Renhe Village, there is a small open space among hundreds of miles of green forest.
A small tent was propped up on the spot. Inside, the radio was beeping. This was Takashi Sakai's temporary headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the enemy is launching a very fierce attack on people and villages, and the defenders have suffered heavy casualties!" A Japanese second lieutenant ran in and reported.
"It seems that adhering to death is not a long-term strategy. We must find a new path. We must not sit still and wait for death..." Sakai Takashi murmured, but the katana stationed on the ground in his hand tightened.
Immediately afterwards, Takashi Sakai turned around and said to the combat staff behind him: "The commander and the defenders must guard the peace and harmony at all costs! There must be no room for error! If there is a mistake, let the captain commit suicide. Bar!"
"Hai!!" the Japanese second lieutenant responded.
In order to defend the people and this large village, Takashi Sakai directly put a full brigade into the army, which was obviously a bit difficult for the Sakai detachment, which suffered heavy casualties.
After all, when attacking the villages and towns near Lanfeng, the casualties of the Sakai detachment were already considerable. What's more, during the counterattack stage of the national army, the Sakai detachment lost control points one after another. In the process, the losses were definitely considerable.
Therefore, Takashi Sakai must find other ways to survive, otherwise, once the situation gets out of control, the Sakai detachment will most likely be wiped out.
So, Takashi Sakai looked at the map, and then secretly made a decision in his heart: The current deadlock must be broken!
"Chief of Staff, formulate a combat plan immediately! Tonight, we must break through the blockade of the China Army. At the same time, we request the division and regiment headquarters for cooperation and help!" Sakai Takashi said in a deep voice.
"Hai!" the chief of staff next to him responded.
…
The camera turned back to Renhe Village.
Renhe Village, this is a large village on Longhai Road, and Neihuangji can be said to be on the lookout for each other.
Today, the troops of the 71st Army of the National Army are relying on Neihuangji as a fulcrum to launch a desperate attack on Renhe Village.
The purpose is to break the Japanese defense line - this is undoubtedly the last line of defense for the Japanese back door.
Twelve artillery pieces from the 71st Army Artillery Battalion were slamming hard at the Japanese defense line. The shells emitting hot white light drew arc after arc in the sky, and then hit people and villages. exploded.
It has to be said that the military quality of the little devils is extremely high, and the defense lines they built are quite qualified. The artillery bombing of the national army did not cause huge casualties to the Japanese army. Only a small number of unlucky Japanese soldiers were able to defeat them. Hit by shell fragments or collapsed buildings.
After Zhang Tianhai arrived at the scene, he did not immediately launch the most violent bombardment against the Japanese army. Instead, he led the artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge, deputy commander Guo Qiliang, chief of staff Gu Shian, spy company commander Liu Houming and three The battalion commanders Li Chunfei, Lu Shaojie, Han Xingle and others of the main battalion went to the outside to observe the situation first.
After observing for a while, Zhang Tianhai asked: "Everyone, do you see anything?"
"Reporting to the regiment, most of our army's artillery fire hit their middle and rear sections, but the front end where the Japanese troops were most concentrated was not hit." Artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge was the first to speak.
"What about you?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Liu Houming. After all, he also had high hopes for the latter.
Zhang Tianhai has always wanted to train Liu Houming into an officer capable of special operations. However, he has limited energy and not enough time, so he just took this opportunity to train.
"Reporting to the group, the firepower of the Japanese army does not seem to be as strong as before. Combined with the people and the village, it is very likely that the Japanese army has only one brigade. Moreover, with the strength of a full brigade of the Japanese army, the firepower It can't be like this. It's most likely that they have been consumed by the brothers of the 259th Brigade." Liu Houming truthfully stated what he was thinking.
"If you were me, how would you fight?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Guo Qiliang and Gu Shi'an.
"First cover the front of the Japanese position with absolute artillery fire, then charge forward with a battalion of troops, and use Liu Houming's special agent company to make circuitous intersperses and attack the Japanese side!" Guo Qiliang said loudly.
"Very good, it's a good idea, but it would be a waste if the special agent company is used in this place." Then, Zhang Tianhai changed the subject and said, "In this battle, let's go bigger and use Li Chunfei's 1st Battalion as the main offensive force. Use Han Xingle's fourth battalion as an outflanking force and launch a fierce attack on people and villages from the right wing. The second battalion and the special agent company serve as reserves to support the front line at any time!"
"Yes! Group seat!" Everyone responded.
…
In fact, for Zhang Tianhai to fight this battle so fiercely, in addition to capturing people and people as quickly as possible, more importantly, he had to show the military the powerful combat effectiveness of the Zhiyi Regiment.
Oh, I forgot the most important point, which is to cover up the fact that there is one less main camp here.
After all, if the troop strength is relatively sufficient, and one's own side has an absolute advantage, and with the assistance of superior artillery, more importantly, this place must be captured as quickly as possible!
But what Zhang Tianhai forgot was that the reason why it was so difficult for the 259th Brigade to capture the enemy was that with the help of Japanese artillery, both sides suppressed the other side with very fierce firepower!
After issuing the combat order, Zhang Tianhai came to the headquarters of the 259th Brigade in order to understand the situation clearly.
The commander of the 259th Brigade is Liu Mantian. Since Shen Fazao succeeded as commander of the 87th Division, he has assumed Shen Fazao's original position as commander of the 259th Brigade.
Liu Mantian, like Shen Fazao, was a student in the second phase of Huangpu, but his promotion speed was relatively slower than that of Shen Fazao, who had been promoted to division commander.
However, this does not affect his future prospects.
"Hello, Sir Liu! Zhang Tianhai, commander of the first regiment directly under the Third War Zone, is here to take over the position of your brigade on orders from the military commander!" This was Zhang Tianhai's action when he saw Queen Liu Mantian in the tent.
Say hello, this is the most basic respect for the other person.
So, when he saw Zhang Tianhai, a junior who was five years younger than him, he still nodded imperceptibly and said: "Very good, I am a member of Huangpu School, and there are indeed many talents."
"Thank you for your compliments, Senior. We are really pressed for time this time to take over the offensive mission of the 259th Brigade, so I won't reminisce with Senior. After this battle is over another day, Junior will definitely treat Senior to a drink. It's just that , I hope senior will not dislike it." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile and went straight to the point.
