As Zhang Tianhai thought, Li Hanhun also set his sights on this well-equipped but not powerful team.
To the east of Huangshi, in a little-known village.
This is the temporary coordinating headquarters of Li Hanhun's 29th Army Corps.
Compared with the "Moyang workers" who Zhang Tianhai planned to train while heading to the front line, the troops under the 29th Army Corps were making rapid progress, but they could not be compared with the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone.
"I don't know what Zhang Tianhai is doing. The progress of the troops is so slow. It is no less than fifty kilometers behind the progress of our army." Standing in front of the table covered with maps, Li Hanhun frowned slightly.
"It's not like they want us to go in first, right?" the chief of staff next to him said.
"I don't think so. From what I know about this person, he doesn't look like someone who is timid against the Japanese. Moreover, his performance in the Battle of Lanfeng was indeed not bad." Li Hanhun first rejected the chief of staff's opinion. .
"In your opinion, sir, what do these troops, which were reorganized from the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, want to do?" the chief of staff asked again.
"I don't know, but based on my intuition, they wouldn't do that kind of desertion." Li Hanhun came to a conclusion.
At this moment, a combat staff officer ran over, holding a telegram in his hand: "Report to the commander, the commander's department has an urgent message!"
"Is there an urgent call at this time?" Li Hanhun frowned slightly, "What is it? Read it quickly!"
"Yes! Sir!" the combat staff responded, then opened the telegram in his hand and read: "This is the command of Li Hanhun, commander of the 29th Army Corps. The battle on the front line is now tense. The enemy in Madang Town , there is a tendency to gather. Now, in the name of the commander-in-chief's department, I am ordering your department to quickly move into Hukou Town, east of Jiujiang, to protect Jiujiang. Chen Cheng, commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, sent an urgent message."
After hearing this order, Li Hanhun's frown couldn't help but deepen.
As soon as the frontline battle is about to begin, this possibility is extremely high. As a military-level commander, Li Hanhun cannot be without great pressure.
"Chief of Staff! Immediately order the troops to advance at full speed! To ensure that they reach the front line of Hukou as quickly as possible and set up defenses on the spot. If there are any shirkers or cowards, they will be executed on the spot!" Li Hanhun issued an extremely strict order. After all, For him, resisting Japan is the top priority.
"As for Zhang Tianhai, do we need to inform them?" the chief of staff asked casually.
"Where's Zhang Tianhai? Then let's inform them by the way, so that they can keep up with us as soon as possible and not delay the war!" Li Hanhun thought for a while and came up with a more reliable conclusion.
"Yes! Legion commander!" The chief of staff responded and hurried to issue Li Hanhun's military order.
…
It didn't take long for Li Hanhun's greeting to arrive at the 1st Guard Regiment of the 9th War Zone.
"Report to the regiment! Li Hanhun, commander of the 29th Army Corps, urgently calls!" Combat Staff Xu Xun ran to Zhang Tianhai and reported.
"Read it!" Sitting on the jeep, Zhang Tianhai waved his hand and said very boldly.
Soon, Xu Xun telegraphed Li Hanhun's information and made a complete report to Zhang Tianhai.
"It seems that the situation on the front line is also very urgent..." Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly and let out a long sigh.
"Lao Zhang, do we still have to carry out our training plan?" Guo Qiliang asked. The plan he was talking about was naturally Zhang Tianhai's original training plan while walking.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head, thought carefully before saying, "No need, let's get to Jiujiang first!"
After Zhang Tianhai finished saying this, he immediately shouted to the people around him: "Submit my order immediately! All troops will immediately head to Jiujiang, Jiangxi at full speed without any delay, otherwise military law will be dealt with!"
As Zhang Tianhai issued this order, the entire army's march speed immediately accelerated.
The troops were moving faster, but Zhang Tianhai and others stopped, studying how to fight this battle successfully.
Zhang Tianhai and others did not shy away from where to study this point, and directly laid out a map on the front of the jeep.
After all, this is still the sphere of influence in the rear area, and there is no danger of Japanese snipers. The large Japanese troops have not yet attacked, let alone how the small troops can infiltrate.
Even if a small force infiltrates in, it will be very easy to destroy them with the strength of the current police force.
"Captain, our troops are marching so much faster now. Is it related to the tight war situation on the front line?" Li Yinglun turned his attention to Zhang Tianhai.
"Accurately speaking, yes, because this is the information given by the Li Hanhun Army. According to the information given by the commander of the Li Hanhun Army, their troops have been advancing at full speed, and they are traveling day and night." Zhang Tianhai said bluntly.
"It seems that the movements in Little Japan are a bit frequent..." Li Yinglun sighed, "Maybe they are already on their way to Pengze Town. Otherwise, how could the Li Hanhun Army come in such an urgent way? Call for rescue?"
"I guess so. Otherwise, how could they inform us? In fact, they just want us to speed up our pace. Otherwise, if the war gets serious, no troops will be able to support them. I think they are in trouble." Zhang Tianhai analyzed step by step, "What do you think about the war on the front line? Why don't you tell us?"
"I think we still have to step up our pace and conduct a series of rest and training after arriving in Jiujiang. We must improve the combat effectiveness of our troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if we reach the front line and face the Japanese troops who are well-equipped and extremely willing to fight, I am afraid that we You won’t get any favors either.” Guo Qiliang made an extremely useful suggestion.
"This is a good suggestion. This is also our top priority at the moment. The key is how will the future display be after arriving in Jiujiang? Let's just do a pre-judgment analysis! Chief of Staff Li, can you tell us your opinion?" Zhang Tianhai turned his gaze again Turning to Li Yinglun, it seemed that he wanted him to put forward some more useful opinions.
Li Yinglun took a deep breath, and then said: "After we arrive at the front line, in my opinion, I don't think we will go to the front line so soon. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Li Hanhun Army is not bad. The commander himself is a patriotic general, and he is not the kind of person who is timid when it comes to fighting young Japanese, so at this point, we still have a little time to resume training."
"Since the opinions of the two commanders are that we should resume training as soon as possible, and we will not go to the battlefield so soon. So, let's go to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province before we make a decision! Our troops are in It is very likely that we will perform extremely important combat missions in the next battle. Therefore, we must do everything we can to restore our combat effectiveness. At least we will not hold back our friendly forces, nor will we be scolded as suffering from terrorism. Sun syndrome may be the name of timidity." Zhang Tianhai concluded, "Next, I also want to talk about some of my opinions."
