Song Xilian has been fighting for so long, so he naturally knows which side is lighter and which is heavier.
Since the situation on the battlefield is so corrupt and irreversible, if Long Muhan is not captured, the next battle will be impossible to fight!
To paraphrase someone’s words, before fighting against the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
Song Xilian is a great military commander. He cannot command only one division and two directly affiliated regiments. How will people outside view him? What would Principal Jiang think of him?
Therefore, Song Xilian is determined to control Long Muhan first!
…
When Song Xilian was desperate to control Long Muhan, the Japanese Sakai detachment headquarters, which had fully entered Lanfeng, was already studying this garrison force that stubbornly resisted them.
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, this garrison unit has been identified." A Japanese staff officer ran to Takashi Sakai and reported.
At this time, Sakai Takashi was standing on the south tower looking outside. He was still a little surprised when he heard the news.
"Oh? Tell me quickly, I feel that the combat style of this unit is somewhat similar to that of the unit that attacked our artillery position." Sakai Takashi said directly to the staff officer.
The Japanese staff officer said: "As expected of the brigade commander! It is reported that this unit is the combat unit that attacked our artillery unit earlier! Their designations are all the first regiment directly under the third theater!"
"Nani? The first regiment directly under the third theater? Baga Yalu! This unit is really too arrogant! Send a report to the division commander again to report this situation. We can't even defeat such a powerful enemy. We don't know what it looks like, right? Execute it immediately!" Sakai Takashi was surprised at first, and then angry - he wanted to know the origin of this enemy who had repeatedly offended their troops!
"Hai!!" the Japanese staff officer responded.
But what Sakai Takashi never expected was that the staff officer came back less than twenty minutes after leaving.
After seeing Takashi Sakai, the Japanese staff officer immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, based on the intelligence sent back by the division and regiment headquarters, we have already carried out operations on the combat unit of the first regiment directly under the third theater of the China Army. Lock, it is reported that this China Army unit is not only the China Army unit that attacked our artillery position, but also the China Army unit that caused us great losses in Yangzhuang! Moreover, Renhe and Zhuang were also attacked by this unit. Come down!"
"Baga!" The angry Sakai Takashi slapped his hand on the table, and immediately made a "pop" sound, "In other words, this unit actually caused the loss of such an elite Imperial Army of Japan. More than 3,000 people were killed! Baga! As for this army, who is their commander! Have the people from the Special High School found out?!"
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, according to the intelligence from the Special High School Division, they are sending people to follow up on this work. I'm afraid it will still take some time. Please wait patiently, the brigade commander!" the staff officer reported truthfully.
"Baga! These people in the special high school are just eating for nothing! They only know how to eat day by day! They don't know how to do anything!" Takashi Sakai cursed angrily. In fact, any commander would know how to do it! So angry - my side obviously has a powerful intelligence agency, but this intelligence agency did not play its due role at the most critical moment, and instead caused them to lose so many people in vain.
However, Takashi Sakai did not continue to scold him after he vented his anger. After all, the time it took for them to request information was not long, only two or three days. In such a short period of time, what could you ask them to do? To fully obtain first-hand information about your opponent?
Well, yes, although I understand the truth, I still have to scold those who deserve to be scolded.
What Zhang Tianhai didn't know was that his unit had successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army because of its outstanding performance.
I just don’t know if this is something to be thankful for or something to be wary of.
…
And what is Zhang Tianhai doing at this time?
He was squatting on the ground smoking a cigarette: he had hoped that after he sent the telegram, Shen Fazao would be able to support him because of his background in the National Guard system. Unexpectedly, Shen Fazao actually responded. One: Do not dare to mobilize troops for combat without the order of your superiors.
It is said that the general will be outside, and the emperor's orders will not be accepted.
Zhang Tianhai could see clearly whether Shen Fazao could cooperate with him in fighting - if Shen Fazao really wanted to help him, it would only be a matter of one sentence. If there were any problems, Zhang Tianhai could take care of them. .
But those are all assumptions after all.
Squatting on the grass and puffing away mist. Zhang Tianhai's expression was not at all relaxed.
"What's up, Lao Zhang, have you figured out how to fight next? Should we fight or retreat?" Guo Qiliang also squatted next to Zhang Tianhai.
"Retreat?" Zhang Tianhai seemed to have heard a very funny joke, "It's impossible. We have invested so much energy in Lanfeng, and also invested so many troops and lost so many people. This time The war must be fought back, and the word "retreat" is not yet in Zhang Yulin's dictionary!"
Until then, Guo Qiliang finally realized that his old classmate and comrade-in-arms had become so stubborn in his character.
However, even Guo Qiliang didn't know what Zhang Yulin was stubbornly insisting on? He didn't know what it was that made Zhang Tianhai's character change so much.
However, Guo Qiliang is destined to never know what happened to Zhang Tianhai...
A light rain was falling, and soon it turned into a heavy rain.
Fortunately, the heavy rain did not last long and stopped after soaking everyone's bodies.
Zhang Tianhai was also soaked. He didn't think about changing his clothes or doing other things. He was still smoking, thinking about how to get Lan Feng back!
Without the explosives planted in advance, Zhang Tianhai would not even dare to think about counterattacking a county heavily guarded by the Japanese army.
However, just because of his temporary decision, it became his most reliable hope now.
"The current state of the Japanese army is probably the same as ours. It's just a pity that our troops suffered too many losses in the previous battles... We simply can't spare our troops for counterattack. The cavalry battalion, The teams directly under the regiment, the main infantry battalion that suffered heavy casualties, all add up to only a thousand people, and they will be used as cannon fodder..." Zhang Tianhai's expression was still very melancholy.
"Now that the entire Lanfeng has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, you are still thinking about counterattack? Is this idea reliable?" Guo Qiliang asked.
"Just wait, we'll know later if it's reliable... The people above won't see Lan Feng lost in such a daze." Yesterday, he managed to squeeze out a smile, which was bigger than It’s ugly to cry.
