Under the cover of night, countless Japanese troops marched toward the Red Temple like ants.
Seen from above, their troops were organized and disciplined. Although they were fleeing and pursuing operations, they did not see any dispersion of the Japanese troops.
In addition to the Japanese troops pursuing troops on the front line who have already entered the battle, the Japanese troops staying at Sanyi Village have also been attacked with unprecedented intensity by the Chinese army. Due to the weakening of the firepower of the troops left behind, the Japanese army's defensive strength has also been weakened to a certain extent. weaken.
This change was naturally discovered by the national army, so the national army's attack became more fierce.
As soon as the news was received that the frontline troops had broken through the enemy's forward positions, the Japanese artillery immediately moved.
The Japanese artillery force once again demonstrated what "professional excellence" means with a very full attitude. These artillery pieces were hung on the back of the truck at a very fast speed, and then they started to set off.
The road at this time was not as complete as the paved road later, but a mud road with potholes. Fortunately, the rain had stopped long ago, so the road was not so muddy, otherwise it would not have been so easy for the Japanese troops to evacuate. .
Military trucks were pulling artillery forward, and these Japanese engineering units began to "build bridges" to pave the way for these artillery units. The cooperation was not very good.
Of course, the "bridge" mentioned here naturally refers to a "bridge" that can accommodate vehicles and artillery passing over the trench of the position.
It's a pity that there are no such good things as drones at this time, otherwise we would probably be able to see clearly that the Japanese army is retreating in a "migration" way!
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Wang Liang's frontline reconnaissance team was squatting in a dark corner of the frontline, watching the scenes happening in front of them.
"Quickly, call the regiment and inform the regiment that the Japanese troops are approaching our position, and their main force has already headed to the Red Temple." Wang Liang said directly to the communications staff beside him.
Wang Liang is a very qualified lieutenant, and he knows very clearly what he should do.
Like this operation, Wang Liang knew that the unit he led was the eyes of the regiment, so what he had to do was to keep an eye on what would happen on the front line for the regiment.
As for which direction the Japanese army was going and what would happen next, he could speculate, but the final decision was still in the hands of the regiment leader, not Wang Liang.
…
The battle report ahead quickly reached Zhang Tianhai's eyes.
After all, this battle report was conducted directly in the form of a telegram, and then presented directly to Zhang Tianhai.
"I ordered Wang Liang to continue to observe the whereabouts of the Japanese troops, and by the way, Wang Liang reported their location. Also, take the exclusive radio station temporarily dialed to you and set off with the large army!" Zhang Tianhai ordered Liang Bihui.
"Yes! Group seat!" Liang Bihui responded, and then hurried to carry out Zhang Tianhai's order.
After giving this order, Zhang Tianhai immediately called Li Chunfei, Wang Yongcheng, and Han Xingle.
After seeing Zhang Tianhai, these three people immediately gave a military salute: "Report to the regiment! Li Chunfei (Wang Yongcheng, Han Xingle), who is a humble officer, was ordered to report to the regiment. The troops are ready and can set off at any time!"
"Very good, you did a good job." Zhang Tianhai nodded, "For a while, remember your mission. You all come closer to me!"
Seeing the mysterious look of the leader, Li Chunfei and the other three knew that this mission could never be as simple as it seemed on the surface - what if it wasn't a combat mission?
Countless doubts flashed through their minds, but Li Chunfei, Wang Yongcheng, and Han Xingle still didn't think much and approached Zhang Tianhai directly.
Zhang Tianhai glanced around and found that there was no one around, then he said softly: "Everyone, your mission to the front line this time is not to intercept the little Japanese troops from breaking out, but to clean up the Japanese troops who left behind after they broke out. Guns and ammunition, even telegraph machines, artillery, etc. What I need is to not let go of anything and just execute it. Do you understand?"
To be honest, when they heard these words, the three battalion commanders in front of Zhang Tianhai almost all thought that they had heard wrong - with Tuanzuo's usually desperate fighting style, they would actually let this go The approach of "beating the drowned dog"?
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhang Tianhai probably guessed what they were thinking.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head helplessly and said: "I know what you are thinking, why should you let go of this so-called opportunity to beat up a drowned dog."
Before the people in front of him could speak, Zhang Tianhai sighed deeply: "Hey...actually, why didn't I think of using this opportunity to make military exploits again? But the strength of our regiment no longer allows us to do this. This is something. In the previous battle, our regiment suffered too much loss, and it has not recovered yet. Now the troops of a main division of the 27th Army, plus the troops directly under the military headquarters, cannot stop the enemy. We went to attack them fiercely, but I’m afraid it’s just a mantis mantis trying to defeat the enemy.”
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, everyone nodded slightly.
"After this battle, our regiment suffered such heavy losses, so it must have entered a rest period. Our current strength is not enough, so we will accumulate more follow-up supplementary equipment. Only when our regiment's strength has reached the point where it can compete with the enemy can we Only by conducting combat can we inflict heavy damage on them." Zhang Tianhai analyzed it very calmly.
"But, regiment. Don't we have a regiment directly under the military headquarters in this city? If they can be mobilized, do you think there will be no problem in fighting this battle?" said Wang Yongcheng, commander of the cavalry battalion, who is from Northeast China. He was born in the military and is originally a Northeastern man, so his speech is naturally relatively straightforward.
"It's easy to say that this temporary advance to the troops is only temporary, and the regiment directly under the military headquarters is only a unit that has only been established for less than ten days. You let them go to the battlefield? If the troops are gone, who can bear this responsibility? ? Is it me, or is it Captain Zhou? Or is it you, Wang Yongcheng?" Zhang Tianhai asked from the bottom of his heart.
After hearing these words, everyone was shocked, then stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the group, humble rank, I understand."
Everyone present is not a fool, so they naturally know what Tuanzuo means - who can shoulder this responsibility? No one can afford it! Even if they are killed, there is nothing they can do to save it!
"That's it! This combat mission will be kept top secret before departure. Anyone who leaks the secret will be subject to military law! Go down and prepare first and wait for the departure order!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly.
"Yes! Group seat!" Everyone responded, and then hurried down to carry out Zhang Tianhai's order.
Looking at the three people leaving, Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath, and then looked at the pitch black area outside the city.
Will this operation be as smooth as the previous one? Zhang Tianhai didn't have much confidence in his heart - compared with the previous confidence, it seemed that this time, he was a little less confident.
It was still the psychological shadow left by the battle where Lan Feng was lost.
