Compared with other Japanese officers, Major General Guanyu looks a little chubby, but there is also a bit of stockiness in this fatness.
This image should seem to be the kind that is easier to get along with, but Major General Guanyu's small eyes have a lot of murderous intent that a soldier should have, and coupled with the samurai sword he carries, So it doesn't look like something to be trifled with.
"Mr. Guanyu, please be patient. We still have the city wall to hold on to. Otherwise, if we all retreat to Sanyi Village, it will definitely put great pressure on Mr. Sakai. More importantly, we They have all retreated over there, which means that we will all be surrounded by the Chinese army." Kenji Doihara said in a deep voice.
"But what should we do with the troops outside the city?" Major General Guanyu frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Doihara Kenji thought for a moment and said: "If you can defend, defend, if you can't defend, fight to the death. Anyway, the troops in the city can't go out anymore. There is no room for loss in the city!"
"Hai!" Major General Guanyu responded.
Kenji Doihara was almost caught off guard by the difficult situation facing him - the 14th Division had fought more than 40,000 people after it first strengthened its heavy artillery force, but now there were less than 20,000 left. Most of them are logistic troops. How should we fight this battle?
Thinking of this, Kenji Doihara's fat face sank slightly.
…
Heaven, it will be bright soon.
For the national army, this is a very difficult process. They received a death order from the top. What they want is to encircle, annihilate and attack the Japanese troops in the encirclement at all costs. The casualties they pay must also be heavy. of.
In short, this number will definitely not be small.
In just a few hours, the first regiment directly under the third theater fired more than 400 artillery shells, almost two-thirds of the few remaining artillery shells in the first regiment!
If Zhang Tianhai were here, he would definitely point his finger at Guo Qiliang and Zhao Chengge and scold them: "You two prodigal things, wouldn't you ask the Corps for them before firing the artillery? If it doesn't work, just send a telegram to the war zone to ask for it! Seventy-one No matter how much this field army can give you, just report it to the next level! The military commander is eager for you to solve the problem yourself!"
Unfortunately, Zhang Yulin, who was the leader of the first regiment directly under the third theater, was not here, so he had no choice but to watch these bastards waste their arms.
"Deputy Commander Guo, the artillery shells will be gone if you keep firing them!" Artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge ran to Guo Qiliang and complained. After all, if all their artillery shells were fired, the artillery battalion's artillery would be a pile of scrap metal.
Guo Qiliang had naturally considered this issue, so he thought about it and made it clear to Zhao Chengge directly: "Okay, that's it! The artillery ceasefire first."
But after the artillery ceased fire, it didn't take long for the commander of the 87th Division, Shen Fazao, to find Guo Qiliang. The adjutant of Shen Fazao said straight to the point: "Hello, Deputy Commander Guo, I am Commander Shen Fazao." Li Kailiang, the adjutant of our division, sent me here to ask why our artillery fire has stopped. It is also a critical moment for the frontline troops to attack."
To be honest, seeing Li Kailiang's somewhat aggressive attitude, Guo Qiliang felt quite unhappy - why? After all, the labor force is still a force directly under the war zone. Although it is now under the command of the 71st Army, it cannot use bean bags as dry food, right?
Thinking of this, Guo Qiliang frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Our artillery unit is almost running out of shells. Now there are no shells. I dare you to ask Adjutant Li if you can tell Commander Shen, Can you ask Commander Shen to apply for some artillery shells for our regiment?"
Guo Qiliang naturally knew that it was impossible for Shen Fazao to do such a thing, so he was just talking, just to block the mouth of Adjutant Li who looked like his nostrils were upturned, that's all.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Adjutant Li could not help but be slightly stunned. He did not expect that Deputy Commander Guo, who was only one level higher than him in military rank, had such a straightforward personality - —If you have any trouble, report it on the spot.
"Uh... ok, I'll go back and tell Chief Shen..." After saying that, Adjutant Li left. Since the question has been asked and the process was indeed a bit unpleasant, it would be better to leave earlier. .
Looking at the back of Adjutant Li leaving, Guo Qiliang didn't do anything else but gave him a cold, expressionless look.
…
The fierce fighting on Lanfeng's side was going on from dark to dawn.
Zhang Tianhai also arrived in Zhengzhou under the escort of a group of troops directly under the First Theater Command.
Zhengzhou is a newly emerging city. After all, because it is in the middle of the transportation hub, its geographical location is particularly important.
It is precisely because of transportation and geographical location that the development here is so rapid.
It was just dawn, and there were already bustling crowds taking to the streets to attend the fair. The Japanese had not yet reached Zhengzhou, and many people were unwilling to abandon the place where their ancestors lived, and then left their hometowns to wander. of.
This era is no more developed than the communication in the 21st century. If we are separated, we will not be able to find you with a phone call or WeChat, but for a lifetime!
There is a huge sea of people, and if you are separated from your loved ones once, you may be separated for the rest of your life.
Therefore, before the Japanese army reached Zhengzhou, they were unwilling to leave this familiar place where they lived with their relatives.
If you can find happiness and stability, who would want to be homeless?
There was a lot of people outside the car, but Zhang Tianhai's thoughts had drifted aside. It seemed to him that he had gradually integrated into this era, instead of overlooking the entire world from the perspective of a time traveler.
He is neither a high-ranking person in power nor a bystander, he is a witness!
In later generations, Zhang Tianhai was not only an excellent soldier, but also an excellent member of the Chinese Communist Party - as *** said, the original intention and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and to The Chinese nation seeks rejuvenation.
At least on this point, Zhang Tianhai thinks that he is very qualified - the Chinese nation in this era is in dire straits, and Zhang Yulin does not escape. Even if he knows that he cannot do anything, it is still a kind of resistance.
Besides, how can you know if you don’t try?
Regarding Zhang Tianhai's current situation, he could only use one sentence to describe it, that is, "I believe in fate, but I will never accept it!"
…
Zhang Tianhai's eyes were looking at the outside world through the gap of the tattered canvas. It seemed very close, but yet it seemed very far away.
Zhengzhou is very lively at this time, but looking at the street planning and so on, it is far inferior to the heritage of the thousand-year-old city of Kaifeng - after all, before the rise of Zhengzhou, it was just a small county town named Zheng County!
"Sir, you've never been here, have you?" the company commander next to him asked.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Never been here."
Thinking about it, this is also true. For him, he has never been here in this life. Otherwise, can he say: I have been here in my previous life, and Zhengzhou is still developing prosperously under the leadership of that great political party?
Thinking about it, it seems like a fantasy.
But thinking about how he might not fare well this time, Zhang Tianhai felt a little depressed: his detention for the past two days also made him carefully review the context before and after. Thinking about it, he still felt that he was a little bit depressed. Misstep.
What's missing? The only thing missing is seniority in Huangpu.
Long Muhan is from the first batch of Huangpu, and Song Xilian is also from the first batch of Huangpu. There are too many big bosses in the first batch of Huangpu. He, Zhang Yulin, is just a small student of the seventh batch. If the higher ups make a choice , will he abandon Zhang Yulin?
By then, I am afraid that except for his wife Zheng Man who will cry out for him, others will probably not help him desperately!
Thinking about this, Zhang Tianhai shuddered in his heart - at this time in the Republic of China, military courts were just a formality, and the true rule of law could only be achieved by later generations.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart: Why did he act without authorization? Even just reporting it to Chief Song...
Think about it, how did you get to where you are now? When the time comes, what will happen to Zheng Man, who is orphaned and widowed?
