It's night, starry.
The gunshots that had been ringing all day finally stopped. Both China and Japan were busy preparing for the next round of battle!
The troops on the national army almost used two shifts to prepare for the battle. For them, only by winning this battle can they finally win.
The Japanese army was also busy preparing for a breakout.
For the Japanese army, whether they can get out safely this time is a huge challenge for them.
So this time, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Doihara Kenji must be fully prepared, just like now - the existing main force of the 14th Division has quietly moved eastward. Unexpectedly, the forward commander was not Kanyu, who is the commander of the 27th Brigade, is not the commander of the 28th Brigade, Takashi Sakai.
Instead, he is a junior lieutenant commander, Yoshijiro Notsu, who is only 28 years old!
Regarding this arrangement, Tateyu and Takashi Sakai said that they were convinced, but that was almost impossible - this was a leapfrog arrangement. Doesn't this arrangement mean that the abilities of their two brigade commanders are not as good as that of an officer at the level of a captain? ?
…
In the night, the Japanese troops were mobilizing frantically.
At this time, the brigade commander of the 27th brigade, Guanyu, and the brigade commander of the 28th brigade, Sakai Takashi, had already met.
"Sakai-kun, after tonight, I'm afraid you and I will be worried about our status." This was the first sentence Major General Tateyu said when he saw Major General Takashi Sakai, and it was full of worries.
"Mr. Guanyu, now is not the time to say such depressing words. Mr. Yanjin is a popular person in front of the division commander. After all, he is a top student in the empire. He is young and can be regarded as daring to fight." Compared to While Takao Sakai was indignant, Sakai Takako seemed much calmer. After all, in Sakai's view, it was still not the time for internal fighting.
If it were other people, they might have been deceived by Takashi Sakai's words, but Takashi Sakai and Takashi were Lu Shishi's old classmates, and they didn't have a general understanding of each other's tempers.
"Sakai-kun, I also know what you are thinking right now. Your idea is right. After all, now is not the time to fight. Only those who get out alive are qualified to fight. But I am really a little worried now. Can't swallow this breath, a small lieutenant colonel, commanding the forward troops of our two brigades? If this spreads out, wouldn't it be a big joke for us?" Guanyu is a very straightforward person, and he will say whatever comes to his mind. What, he thought that with his ability, it would be impossible for a young man to ride on his head.
A twenty-eight-year-old lieutenant colonel commanding most of the division?
"Even if it doesn't work, then just endure it! What our troops need most now is unity, and our troops are only temporarily under his command. After breaking through the encirclement, will he still be able to command our troops? "Sakai Takashi said coldly.
"Yoshi, Mr. Sakai, compared to my frankness, I still like your decision-making before you act. That's it! You and I will be captains of the company again today!" Guanyu smiled and said, in fact, according to the Japanese army The old tradition of "the lower level overcomes the upper level" is really capable of disobeying orders.
Besides, with the management of the Japanese troops under their command by Takashi Sakai and Kanyu, at least no one dared to disobey their orders.
"Mr. Guan Yu, you and I are no longer who we were in the military academy. Now we have to make choices for survival. As long as we can survive, there will eventually be a stage for us to perform. If we are broken like this, everything in the future will be... It has nothing to do with us." Sakai Takashi's face showed no hint of joking.
"Yo Xi..." Guan Yu nodded.
…
Although they had been fighting for several days, the Japanese army still had the strength to fight, because they lost almost only their infantry units, and the artillery units, which were the main support force, did not suffer much losses.
In other words, once their artillery is engaged in combat, their artillery firepower is definitely not weak!
Moreover, this time, it was the Japanese army's breakout battle.
In this battle, the Japanese army was fighting for survival, and it was bound to be able to explode with strong combat effectiveness.
More importantly, the shells that have been squeezed for a long time in the past two days will definitely not be stingy.
…
To the west of Lanfeng City, Zhang Tianhai, as the commander of the temporary advancing troops, did not fall asleep, because in his opinion, these Japanese troops would soon be unable to hold on.
Once these Japanese troops cannot hold on any longer, they will inevitably break out eastward, just like the general direction of history. By then, changes will occur.
Standing next to Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie did not say anything. After all, he had been working with Zhang Tianhai for a long time, and he probably knew what the other party wanted to do.
Zhang Tianhai's eyes were very deep, and he was staring to the west: If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army's breakout operation will be either tonight or tomorrow night!
"Old Zhang, you have now changed the work and rest time of the temporary combat battalion, and also changed the work and rest time of the cavalry battalion. Now you have even changed the rest time of the infantry combat battalion. Now the only direct units left behind are the artillery battalion and the small artillery company. Well, you have worked so hard to gather troops, it seems like you have made a big move..." Zhou Fangjie smiled.
"How can you see it?" Zhang Tianhai asked and put down the telescope in his hand.
"The entire strength of the Zhiyi Regiment is already very close to that of a combat brigade. Now you are piecing together here and there, and you are still able to make up nearly a regiment of troops. It is nothing if not a big move." Zhou Fangjie smiled.
"I do have some ideas, but these troops are all used to deal with conflicts. Now is a special period. If we don't have the ability to deal with mutations, our combat capabilities will be very weak. Got it. Right?" Zhang Tianhai turned to Zhou Fangjie and said.
Regarding the most critical part, Zhang Tianhai didn't even mention the person he trusted the most, Guo Qiliang, let alone Zhou Fangjie.
Zhou Fangjie is the closest comrade-in-arms, but times have changed now. Zhou Fangjie has been promoted to the commander of the regiment directly under the 71st Army Headquarters. In other words, they are now friendly forces and are no longer in the same trench as before. comrade-in-arms.
To put it bluntly, it still involves the issue of interests.
There are some things that comrades in arms can say, but friendly forces cannot.
Besides, if Zhou Fangjie knew about taking advantage of the situation to rob friendly forces, let alone whether they would take action or not, they would definitely not be willing to defend the city if they knew about it.
Speaking of the deepest point, Zhang Tianhai still wants to keep it all to himself and does not want to share a piece of the pie with the regiment directly under the 71st Army Headquarters - just kidding, the 71st Military Family has a great cause and is the ace of the direct line, under the jurisdiction of the military seat Under this situation, it is impossible to expand the army, and it is useless to ask for these things!
Looking at it now, the first regiment directly under my third war zone is basically outside the organizational structure. Except for food, drink and other things, it is under the control of the military committee. Other things are not allowed to be fought for by oneself?
Well, yes, this is the mentality that "entrepreneurs" should have.
Yes, that's what the evil and calculating Zhang thinks.
