The sky was getting dark. Under Zhang Tianhai's arrangement, the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 4th Battalions of the 1st Regiment directly under the 3rd War Zone began to march in the original direction, while the 2nd Battalion as a reserve team changed their march. direction, heading straight towards the direction of the Twin Towers.
As for the commander of this force heading towards the direction of the Twin Towers, it was naturally Zhang Tianhai himself.
The commander of the first and fourth battalions as well as the troops directly under the regiment headquarters was naturally Guo Qiliang. With Guo Qiliang as the chief military officer and Gu Shi'an as the military auxiliary officer, he commanded the troops to continue fighting.
Regarding the next battle, Zhang Tianhai only said one sentence: "This battle must focus on Lanfeng County. If there is any movement in Lanfeng, directly order the cavalry battalion and the special agent company to provide rapid support; as for this pursuit, When fighting, wait for the opportunity and be sure to break through the enemy's defense line. If there is a danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army, you can retreat immediately, but you must inform me."
When Guo Qiliang heard this order, he was stunned because this plan was so crazy: There were not many troops in the first place, so we had to divide our forces to fight? If they are defeated by each one, it will be very troublesome.
According to Zhang Tianhai's order, after the surprise attack plan was launched, it was reported to the 71st Army Headquarters.
What Zhang Tianhai never expected was that this act of "obeying the rules" would save his life in the future...
…
Neihuangji, the temporary headquarters of the 71st Army.
"boom!!"
A loud slap sounded on the table. This slap was very loud.
Obviously, the owner of this slap was very angry.
"This Zhang Yulin is so fucked up! He kills first and then tells you later! Are you going to force me, the commander of the army, to cooperate with him in commanding operations?!" Song Xilian, who has always been known for his gentleness and elegance, scolded angrily. A lot of swear words showed how angry he was at this time.
"Military seat, what's going on?" Chief of Staff Zhong Bin asked.
"See for yourself!" Song Xilian threw a ball of paper to Zhong Bin. To be precise, it was a crumpled paper ball.
It can be seen that Song Xilian was not generally angry. After seeing the telegram, he directly crumpled the paper into a ball.
Zhong Bin slowly opened the paper ball, but after he read the contents of the telegram, his face became as embarrassed as Song Xilian's, and his hands trembled a little: "Isn't this nonsense? There are not many troops in the first place, but they are still fighting in such a scattered manner. If they are not careful, the whole army may be annihilated? Now he is reporting this combat operation. Isn't this to force our 71st Army Headquarters to cooperate with them? Are you acting as a group? If you are so greedy for success, I'm afraid something big will happen sooner or later..."
"With only one regiment, he dares to chase down the enemy's entire brigade. Isn't he too courageous?" Song Xilian said with a sneer.
Compared to Song Xilian who was carried away by anger, Zhong Bin thought much calmer.
I saw Zhong Bin walking to the map, looking at the direction of the Twin Towers, and said to Song Xilian: "Military seat, do you think this Tianhai has discovered any clues about the enemy? After all, they are the front-line combat troops. Many times , they have more information than we do.”
After hearing these words, Song Xilian finally calmed down a little. He also walked to the map and quietly observed it.
After a long time, Song Xilian said: "Brother Zhongbing (Zhongbing, nicknamed Zhongbin), do you think it is possible that this Yulin can determine the main direction of the Japanese army's attack?"
Zhong Bin shrugged and said, "I don't know about this. He is your old subordinate. Normally, you know him better than me, right?"
Song Xilian carefully looked at the location of the "Twin Towers" on the map and said very calmly: "As far as I know, Zhang Yulin is usually a bit impulsive, but his battlefield acuity is quite excellent. In this kind of situation, In fact, we should not dare to joke about it. The Japanese army's attack direction is most likely towards the Twin Towers. However, this little Japan is too rampant. It knows that it has fallen into the encirclement of our army, but it is so crazy. Not only did they not retreat, but they moved forward to break through. Do they still want to break through Kaifeng or Lanfeng at this time?"
"If you do the opposite, you may achieve miraculous results." Zhong Bin said.
Song Xilian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "With the Japanese army's always so arrogant nature, it is really possible for them to do this. Let's let one regiment of the 260th Brigade of the 87th Division go forward, and the other The regiment is stationed at Hezhuang as a reserve team to support frontline operations at any time!"
"It seems that this time, we really have to accept Zhang Yulin's command." Zhong Bin said with a wry smile and shook his head.
"Alas, there is no way! The fighter planes are changing rapidly. Maybe the situation on the front line is really urgent, that's why it's like this." Song Xilian also smiled bitterly, "However, this habit of killing first and playing second is really not good! In addition to I want to order the troops to cooperate in the battle, and I also need to strictly reprimand Zhang Tianhai. Next time you behave like this, kill first and then report later, I will definitely apply to the theater commander's department to have you dismissed!"
"Okay, then let's implement it according to these standards!" Zhong Bin said with a smile.
…
Night has fallen, there is silence everywhere, and the sound of the car engine in front is getting closer.
Zhang Tianhai suddenly ordered the troops to stop and said to Second Battalion Commander Lu Shaojie: "Battle Commander Lu, let the brothers take a rest. We will prepare for battle soon."
"Yes! Group seat!" Lu Shaojie responded.
After Lu Shaojie left, Zhang Tianhai took out the flashlight wrapped in gray cotton and used it to illuminate the Lan Feng map in front of him.
After being wrapped in gray cotton cloth, the light from the flashlight was not very strong. There was only a little bit of light that shone through the gaps and illuminated the content on the map.
Looking at the content on the map, Zhang Tianhai murmured: "According to our current location, we are probably close to the Twin Towers. But it shouldn't be, the enemy has not launched an attack at this time. According to their situation, they We should act as soon as possible. Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment?"
But listening to the distant sound of car engines in the dark night, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had not made a mistake in judgment.
Zhang Tianhai's eyes were like an eagle, staring at the direction of the distant sound. He was waiting for this opportunity.
Waiting for the opportunity for the Japanese army to launch an attack on the Twin Towers, only in this way can the accurate location of the Japanese artillery positions be determined.
If he were to attack the enemy's front line head-on with the 600 or so men, to be honest, these few people might not even be enough to give the enemy a gap in their teeth.
If Zhang Tianhai wants to play the role of a surprise weapon, he must achieve the effect of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
For Zhang Tianhai, the enemy's artillery position is undoubtedly the best choice - both to contain the enemy's main force and to weaken the enemy's supporting firepower.
Once the attack is successful, will the Japanese army still have the ability to break through Shuangtaji and Yangguji so quickly? If these two market towns had not been breached, would it be possible for Lanfeng to abandon the defense so quickly?
This is Zhang Tianhai's third line of insurance!
