Lao Guo is an honest man, but he is definitely not a fool.
But when superior officers see that subordinate departments seem to have achieved some results, but they themselves are not well-off, they will be very troubled.
Song Xilian is a good officer, but he is definitely not a good person who gives whatever he wants.
Sure enough, after Song Xilian saw the request for instructions from the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, Song Xilian immediately frowned tightly - in his opinion, Zhang Tianhai had been arrested, and the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone What kind of tricks can you write about?
Even if it can, it must not be comparable to the Zhiyi Regiment led by Zhang Tianhai in terms of combat effectiveness and other aspects.
It's not that Song Xilian is stingy, if this was submitted by Zhang Tianhai, 80% of the requirements would probably be met.
But now, what was submitted was the Zhiyi Regiment led by Guo Qiliang and others, but it was not that easy.
"Let's do this! Give the logistics department a plan. According to the actual situation, if it can satisfy it, then give it some supplements." Song Xilian made a decision.
"Yes! Military seat!" The adjutant next to him responded, and then went to carry out the order.
The battle on the front line was not going well, but it made Song Xilian feel quite bad. After all, what he said was a death order. The key is that Lanfeng County was lost in the hands of their 71st Army. .
As the commander of the 71st Army, he has unshirkable responsibilities!
"Order the southern troops to speed up the attack! The attack must be at the predetermined location before eleven o'clock in the morning!" Song Xilian ordered in a deep voice.
As for the scheduled location, it was naturally the location Zhang Tianhai had told Liu Houming.
This time, Liu Houming finally knew why the group had to adopt such strict confidentiality measures - who would have thought that Lan Feng could be regained and lost? If this city is exploded, how much panic will it cause to Lanfeng County?
It was only now that Liu Houming and others discovered how good Zhang Tianhai, the leader, was in strategic foresight and other aspects.
Perhaps, in their view, Zhang Tianhai is probably the kind of existence that is close to great wisdom and almost a demon...
But thinking about it, we still need to make the necessary preparations. Liu Houming and his spy company are waiting outside.
After all, the hope of the Zhiyi Regiment now rests on their special agent company.
The tasks of the spies at this stage are not difficult, at least compared to others - they are mostly just responsible for following up on the frontline troops, not even assault missions.
The troops in front were launching a desperate attack and reunion. Liu Houming lay down behind the trench and stayed quietly. This was the first time he had such free treatment on the battlefield.
"Company Commander, are we really going to stay like this this time? This is the first time we have been like this on the front line..." A small platoon leader approached Liu Houming.
This platoon leader, like other platoon leaders of the special agent company, was selected from the company.
As for the selection method, Zhang Tianhai generally followed the selection plan of later generations of special forces - anyway, the position of platoon leader is not a particularly big one, and he can generally command those squads. The key is Be flexible and dare to take action!
The special agent company's position in the Zhiyi Regiment is quite special. After all, Zhang Tianhai defines this company as a sharp knife and a special operations force. Naturally, the requirements for this unit cannot be the same as those of other infantry units.
"Why, in this situation, do you still want to get married?" Liu Houming smiled and asked.
"A little bit..." The little platoon leader scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed.
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Houming slapped the little platoon leader on the head and cursed: "Do you have a brain now? If you have a brain, how can you make this suggestion?"
"How do you say that?" the platoon leader asked very puzzledly.
"You don't even look at it, what's the situation now? Our regiment leader hasn't been released yet! If something happens, who dares to protect us? Don't forget, in the Zhiyi regiment, only the regiment leader is the one holding the We treat us as direct descendants, and I don’t know how many people are jealous of us." Liu Houming seemed to curse with hatred, and what he said was also the truth.
"Yes. Company commander!" After the small platoon leader responded, he stopped talking.
Bullets were flying above their heads, and the officers and soldiers of the special agent company of the first regiment directly under the third theater did not even raise their heads. They were waiting for the company commander's battle order.
For Huang Zheng, who was responsible for commanding this combat mission, it was undoubtedly very troublesome.
He is the brigade commander of the 262nd Brigade. He came under the order of Song Xilian, the corps commander and division commander. In addition to commanding their 262nd Brigade, he also commanded a regiment of the 87th Division. The purpose was to create an opportunity for the small force in front of them, which looked like they were well-armed and capable of fighting.
Looking at the guy in their hands, Huang Zheng couldn't help but feel jealous: If only their army could have such a well-equipped small force, why couldn't they defeat Lan Feng?
Unfortunately, Huang Zheng's troops were charging ahead and suffered heavy casualties.
The Japanese troops relied on the city wall and were shooting down from a high position. Even if the Chinese army adopted the tactics of skirmishing, it was of little effect. After all, the Japanese army's marksmanship was accurate, while the Chinese army's marksmanship was relatively poor.
Because of this, it is extremely difficult to fight a battle!
The outline of the Lanfeng City Wall was already within reach, but the short distance of a few hundred meters was impossible to pass.
"Brigade, no matter how hard you rush down, all the troops will be dead!" A regimental commander with a gray face ran to Huang Zheng's side and reported. His eyes were already red. Those brothers who spent time together day and night, one by one, They all died in Lanfeng City, but the distance was never close.
"Then we have to fight!" Huang Zheng gritted his teeth. Some battles have to be fought with human lives!
In Huang Zheng's view, the national army has gradually caught up with the pace and has formed a certain fire suppression on Lan Feng City. After a while, the suppression will be strong.
It's just that the dim sky is a huge obstacle to the national army.
The Chinese army had no aircraft or artillery. It was difficult for them to defeat the Japanese army with just machine guns and rifles.
The only good thing is that most of the peripheral strongholds have been cleared, and the remaining ones are hard work.
As for these hard stubble, Huang Zheng did not order the troops to clean up, but handed it over to Li Hanhun's Cantonese army - he was the protagonist of the southern battlefield, and his troops appeared here to "steal business". It's funny, if you don't let others do anything for you and do it all by yourself, that's absolutely unjustifiable.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The bullets from the national army's light machine guns were flying towards the head of Lanfeng City. After flying through the air, they sparked little sparks on Lanfeng's dilapidated city wall.
The 88th Division at this time is no different than the previous 88th Division - the previous 88th Division needed men and guns, and its weapons and equipment had already reached the level of one light machine gun per squad. Comes standard.
But compared to now? Although the current equipment is not bad, it is much worse than the previous 88th Division.
The standard of one rifle per person has basically been met, but the standard of one light machine gun per squad has not been met.
As an aside, if the weapons of the 88th Division after the battle of Nanjing were really so sophisticated, how could the 71st Army fail to achieve its previous brilliant record?
The commander is one factor, and weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers are also another very important factor.
Otherwise, why is it said that the Battle of Nanjing was the last swan song of the German weapon masters?
Because since the Battle of Nanjing, the 71st Army and the 36th Division, which are the continuation of German weapons divisions, have rarely achieved good results!
