Thinking about it won't solve any problems.

The only use is to guide a series of things that may happen next, and then make predictions in advance, that's all.

Zhang Tianhaiqiang forced a smile on his face and said, "How is the environment of this military court?"

Although awkward chatting is embarrassing, under certain circumstances, it can also relieve the awkwardness of the sudden silence in the air.

"Compared with Kaifeng, it's probably a little worse! The First War Zone Commander's Headquarters has just moved here, and many conditions are relatively simple. It can't be compared with the old site of the Commander's Headquarters in Kaifeng." Then. The captain said something.

Yes, this captain's position is company commander, but because the unit he leads is a security force directly under the war zone, and the weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, it is a low-ranking, high-matching one.

If you observe carefully, Zhang Tianhai will find that in addition to the standard Czech light machine gun for each squad, this unit is also equipped with a German MP40 submachine gun.

With such a firepower configuration, even Zhang Tianhai, a man who is accustomed to the world, is a little jealous.

Although this kind of weapon configuration is nothing in the face of the people's army with powerful firepower in later generations-but in this era, this kind of weaponry and equipment is indeed enough to greatly increase the firepower of this army!

If one or two grenades are added to this basis, it will almost reach the size of a firepower-enhanced company. If used well, it can be very effective.

But, this is just if.

After hearing these words, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank slightly - if he was at the headquarters of the fifth theater commander, he could be guaranteed to come out alive, but looking at the situation, it might not be that easy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but feel a little regretful - why didn't he put the first battalion in Lanfeng a long time ago? If the First Battalion was there, they wouldn't be so passive.

As for the cavalry battalion, it can be used directly as an infantry battalion, and it is more than enough to beat Renhe Zhuang and Yang Guji.

However, there are so many ifs in life!

Some things, no matter how regretful they are, can only be hidden deep in the heart.



The sky was slowly getting brighter, and Zhang Tianhai was on the road, but the deployment of the First Theater Commander's Headquarters did not stop.

In fact, between late night on the 24th and early morning on the 25th, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram to Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the First Theater Zone, to command Yu Jishi’s 74th Army, Li Hanhun’s 64th Army, and Song Xilian’s 7th Army. The 11th Army and the 27th Army of Gui Yongqing moved from east to west and ordered the commander of the 17th Army Hu Zongnan to surround the 14th Japanese Division in Lanfeng, Luowangzhai, Sanyiji, and Quxingji from west to east. , began the attack on May 25th.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also sent a special telegram to warn the generals of the frontline troops: "This Battle of Lanfeng is related to the entire Anti-Japanese War situation. The armies of Hu, Li, Yu, Gui, and Song should follow the tasks indicated by Commander-in-Chief Xue and serve their own interests. A general attack will be launched across the entire front at 6:30 pm on the 25th. The enemies in the areas of Lanfeng, Sanyi Village, Lanfengkou, Chenliukou, Quxingji and Luowangzhai must be annihilated before dawn on the 26th tomorrow. Do not shrink back if you are afraid. Those who fail to attack in advance will be severely punished according to the law; if they achieve special honors in battle or destroy the most enemies and capture the most prisoners, they will be specially rewarded. I hope that all troops will obey the orders and do not disobey them."

Yes, at this time, the regiment headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater had also withdrawn from Quxingji to the west - the reason was that the main force of the Japanese 14th Division was led by the division commander Kenji Doihara. , reinforcements have arrived in Lanfeng County.

After receiving reinforcements, the Japanese troops immediately launched a counterattack around Lanfeng in an attempt to control the villages and towns outside Lanfeng County. Otherwise, Lan Feng's Japanese troops will not be able to deploy and will only be in a passive stage of being beaten.

More importantly, Lanfeng County is so big. If they are besieged here, their artillery unit will be a living target, and the heavy artillery they were once proud of will become a pile of scrap metal!

After the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese army immediately launched such a large-scale counterattack, which Guo Qiliang and others never expected.

Facing the menacing Japanese army, Guo Qiliang thought for a while and considered that the current situation of the Zhiyi Regiment could no longer afford such a battle.

Therefore, Guo Qiliang ordered the troops to retreat.

In this regard, Gu Shi'an also asked Guo Qiliang why he ordered the troops to retreat.

Guo Qiliang just frowned and said: "The situation of each unit is unclear now. If you rush forward at this time, you will definitely become a living target. If no reinforcements arrive, our regiment will be gone."

Gu Shi'an also felt the same way about Guo Qiliang's concerns: the saying "one emperor, one courtier" was not only used in ancient times, it also applies here.

Zhang Tianhai, a man regarded as a talent in every war zone, was locked up. Who else could make this small regiment take the war zone seriously?

As for He Jiye, just Gu Shian or Guo Qiliang, who can command and understand this "uncle"?

Don't forget, He Jiye is the nephew of He Yingqin and Minister He. With such a backer, and the fact that he himself comes from Huangpu, he is the type who won't accept anyone except Zhang Yulin. What can he do?

If not, could Zhang Tianhai appoint him as the chief of the political training department? To be clear, it's the kind that will mess with anyone who doesn't accept it.

If Zhang Tianhai goes to a military prison, neither Guo Qiliang nor Gu Shi'an will be able to take the position of commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater - the only person who can hold this position is He Jiye!

If you want to ask why, you can only say, could it be that He Yingqin and his superiors were full of food, and then let their nephews come down to suffer, and then their promotions were slow?

There is only one explanation!

That is, Minister He sent his nephew to train in the field force. After the training reached a certain level, he took up the post of commander or deputy brigade commander of a certain field force.

Needless to say, you can all know what happened after that. It must have been a smooth career.

If Zhang Tianhai really can't get out, the position of group leader can only be held by He Jiye.

If the two of them refuse to accept it, they will probably be transferred to other units as regimental commanders or regimental chiefs of staff, which is something they don't want to see.

Putting aside the issue of qualifications, let’s talk about combat capabilities. Where has He Jiye ever commanded a battle on the front line? Just focus on the training of the gendarmerie and the daily operations of the political training section.

Zhang Tianhai never expected that since he himself was imprisoned, such a situation would arise - a group of arrogant soldiers, no one would obey anyone.

Yes, in the six months since Zhang Tianhai single-handedly founded the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, he had unknowingly brought out a group of proud soldiers who were extremely ambitious and fearless in battle.

The strong self-confidence in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment directly under the third theater is unmatched by other troops - because this self-confidence is the result of winning many battles!

But no matter what, this is the situation now for the first regiment directly under the third theater. They are gradually retreating under the leadership of Guo Qiliang, the acting regiment leader!



PS: The first update is here!

Let me explain again, the previous chapter was the starting point of all evil and it ate up my word count. I didn’t mean not to finish it on purpose...
