Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the national army troops were advancing in a long queue - this is not a narrow mountain road, this is a vast and endless plain!
If the troops advance in a formation, once they encounter enemy shelling, this will lead to very serious consequences!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai did not order the troops to line up in a square formation and start advancing, but to advance in a method similar to the Long Snake Formation.
As for the skirmisher line, this is not an attack on the enemy. The skirmisher line must be used at a special time. Otherwise, once the team is dispersed, it will not be so easy to gather it up.
Being defeated like a mountain was never something just said. Zhang Tianhai could never bear the consequences!
The troops were slowly advancing. When they saw a small slope, Zhang Tianhai ordered the driver to drive directly onto the small slope - he needed to observe the enemy's situation on this small slope!
The vehicle was quickly parked on a small slope.
Zhang Tianhai took off the telescope hanging around his neck and looked into the distance.
I saw smoke and dust billowing at the end of the horizon. It was obviously not coming from the national army during the operation, it was obviously the Japanese army!
Zhang Tianhai's expression changed slightly when he thought of the possibility of running into the Japanese army head-on - even though this was the remnant of the Sakai brigade, it was definitely stronger than the first regiment directly under their third theater!
Zhang Tianhai is not afraid of the little Japs, but is afraid of running into the Japanese trap inexplicably. Now the troops of the First Regiment here only have three main battalions. Even if the troops directly under the regiment are included, they can barely be regarded as four. Just a camp.
Don't forget, the artillery battalion, a powerful support force, has not caught up yet. If a fight breaks out, it will definitely suffer heavy losses - the Japanese artillery does not "go out of business"!
"Order the troops to stop advancing immediately!" Zhang Tianhai said directly to Wang Liang who was following him. I don't know when Wang Liang started to play the role of a messenger, and he was not very skilled...
"Yes! Group seat!" Wang Liang responded, and then hurried to carry out the order.
Wang Liang was not a dull person, so he hurriedly found some mounted cavalry to convey the order. Anyway, the troops had to stop advancing immediately!
After Wang Liang left, Zhang Tianhai was not idle. Instead, he continued to observe the direction of the smoke with a telescope. He had to analyze from these little signs what the Japanese army wanted to do and what they wanted to do.
Zhang Tianhai's eyes were first fixed on the end of the horizon, where smoke and dust were billowing. Looking at the smoke and dust, he murmured: "It doesn't make sense... There is no reason for these Japanese not to know that Renhe and Zhuang have fallen. Yes, since they know it, they can't be undefended..."
So, where is their line of defense? Several thoughts flashed through Zhang Tianhai's mind.
"Either to the west or to the south, that should be it." Zhang Tianhai murmured, wanting the troops to move in that way, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. After all, he seemed to have no one around him for the time being. .
So, Zhang Tianhai hurriedly asked the driver to drive off the car, and he also got off with the car.
After the car reached the bottom, Zhang Tianhai asked the driver to drive the car to the front.
"Where is your battalion commander?" Zhang Tianhai grabbed a soldier and asked.
The soldier immediately stood at attention and saluted Zhang Tianhai: "Report to the regiment, our battalion commander is already at the front. If you want to find the battalion commander, I'm afraid you have to go to the front."
"Well... okay! Go back to the team." Zhang Tianhai ordered directly.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!" The soldier responded and quickly returned to the team.
To be honest, in Zhang Tianhai's opinion, Han Xingle's actions were quite qualified. After all, as the leader of a battalion, walking at the front of the battalion to observe the situation was a good thing for the whole battalion. .
After all, Han Xingle is not the Hu Jiaji, and he will not personally lead the troops on a sudden impulse - so from this point of view, Zhang Tianhai is quite relieved about Han Xingle.
Not long after, Zhang Tianhai met Han Xingle on the front line.
The driver didn't think twice and drove the car directly to Han Xingle.
At this time, Han Xingle was squatting on the ground looking at the wheel marks on the ground, his brows deeply furrowed.
"How are you doing? Have you made any important discoveries?" Zhang Tianhai walked directly to Han Xingle and squatted down and asked.
"Reporting to the group, there are no major discoveries, just a lot of windlass marks. I estimate that the force we encountered is most likely a mechanized force of the Japanese army. If we advance rashly, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss." Han Xing Le frowned and said with his girlish brows.
"This is an important discovery. It shows that the large Japanese army is in front of us, and these drum marks are very deep and solid, proving that these are Japanese troops passing by with heavy artillery. In other words, they The artillery units are right in front of us. If we are brave enough, it is not impossible to give them a hug." Zhang Tianhai smiled, overturning Han Xingle's reasoning.
"Young Master, I think this may not be easy, right?" Han Xingle asked with some suspicion.
"To play such an exciting thing, it is natural to combine the right time, the right place and the right people. If we do it now, the main force of the Japanese army will turn back. If that is the case, we will be in trouble." Zhang Tianhai pretended to be relaxed. It was said, but in reality? What he was thinking about was how to withdraw the main force of the Japanese army!
As long as the Japanese troops did not break through Shuangtaji and Yangguji, theoretically speaking, Lan Feng should not be lost.
But in that case, the main force of the first regiment directly under the third theater is very likely to be destroyed - don't forget, there are only three main force battalions now, and the organization is still incomplete. The "backbone" special agent company was again transferred to form a rapid support force with the cavalry battalion.
In other words, in addition to the three main battalions, Zhang Tianhai now only has non-front-line combat units such as engineering companies, military police, small artillery companies, mortar companies and guard platoons. After rubbing it, he can still do it. The purpose is that once it is destroyed, the group is destroyed...
Unless there are special circumstances, Zhang Tianhai will not use these troops directly under the regiment headquarters - after all, these troops are all technical arms to a certain extent. It is definitely quite unscientific for technical arms to rush to the front line.
Looking at the marks left by truck wheels and heavy artillery wheels on the loess, a bold but crazy plan slowly emerged in Zhang Tianhai's mind.
However, only Zhang Tianhai himself knows how feasible this plan is.
All in all, this plan is crazy!
