Following the order from regiment leader Li Hanguang, the Cantonese army launched a fierce attack.
In the dark night, countless Cantonese officers and soldiers who were not tall in stature launched a surprise attack on the Japanese positions.
Soon, the Japanese army's position was filled with the sound of killing.
The battle quickly heated up.
…
At the same time, the 70th Army, which was under the command of the 29th Army, also arrived in Jiujiang.
Another army of the 29th Army arrived in Jiujiang, which was something Zhang Tianhai did not expect.
Does this mean anything? The national army is going to organize a medium-sized battle here?
Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai lit the cigarette in his hand again.
Now that the preparations of the first police group are in place, reinforcements are coming at this time, and there is no news from the superiors.
As the smoke filled the air, Zhang Tianhai suddenly thought, it seemed that the recent battle at Wanjialing was about to begin, right?
The frontier of the Japanese army was Jiujiang. After the Japanese army defeated Jiujiang, they began to advance towards Wuhan in two directions - one of them was towards Nanchang and the other was towards Ruian.
The situation has changed at this stage, and many of the police regiment's operational plans will face changes.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is, where will his regiment-level troops be in the corps-level operations?
Follow-up troops continued to arrive. Li Hanhun's army alone had troops from four divisions. Among them, the 64th Army was under the jurisdiction of the 155th Division and the 183rd Division, and the 70th Army was under the jurisdiction of The 16th Division and the 19th Division (the division is commanded by Corps Commander Li Jue concurrently as the division commander).
The local troops already have four divisions. What will be the follow-up troops of the Central Army?
Thinking about this, Zhang Tianhai slapped himself hard on the head: It's all his fault. When he was in class at the military academy, he only focused on watching the victory at Wanjialing and ignored the battle to defend Jiujiang!
If I could remember more episodes of the Jiujiang Defense War, I wouldn't be as passive as I am now!
As he thought about it, Zhang Tianhai became angrier and angrier, but there was nothing he could do about it: it was all his own doing... So, during class, you should still listen carefully...
After suddenly remembering these details, Zhang Tianhai was already hesitating whether to withdraw the second battalion from the front line.
But Zhang Tianhai thought about it and decided to forget it. These positions could be reserved for the brothers who had withdrawn from the 64th Army.
If he were fighting just for the sake of fighting, Zhang Tianhai would not be so troubled. However, he not only wanted to win the war, but also wanted to obtain military victory at the minimum cost, and also ensure that his troops would not be in danger of being annihilated. It's very difficult.
Hiding in the room, Zhang Tianhai smoked cigarettes one after another. Soon, the whole room was filled with smoke.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
"Commander, sir, there's an urgent call from our department!" Wang Liang's voice came from outside the door.
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Tianhai immediately put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up from the desk, and walked to open the door.
After opening the door, Wang Liang said anxiously: "Team, the situation on the front line may change soon." Fate
As he spoke, Wang Liang handed the telegram in his hand to Zhang Tianhai.
After Zhang Tianhai received the telegram, he read it carefully. The message above made him feel unprecedentedly nervous, but it also made him feel slightly relaxed.
The telegram read: This is the command of Zhang Tianhai, commander of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater. After receiving the order, your department immediately started to actively carry out troop training and preparations with Jiujiang as the core. The Second Corps of the Theater is now led by Zhang Fakui. Under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief, we will lead our troops to Jiujiang. Your troops must prepare in advance to welcome the arrival of Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s army. The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, Chen Cheng, sent an urgent message.
The arrival of a corps of troops would increase the chances of victory in the Jiujiang defense battle.
This situation is generally a good thing for Zhang Tianhai's police group. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The only disadvantage is that his unit is most likely to be included in the regiment's order of battle.
This is not a good thing for Zhang Tianhai, who advocates flexible combat - after all, in this case, he and his troops will become pawns in the hands of these big shots. If he is not careful, the whole army may be annihilated. Yu.
As he thought about it, Zhang Tianhai's expression changed rapidly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
After a long time, Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh and said, "That's it! Let the troops continue to act according to the original plan and do whatever they want."
Perhaps other troops might not be as arrogant as Zhang Tianhai. After all, it takes time to assemble the troops.
But the wealthy Zhang Tianhai is different. Zhang Tianhai relies on his troops and the radio has been distributed to the battalion level, so he is so arrogant - to assemble or retreat, to put it bluntly, it is just a telegram thing.
"Yes! Group seat!" Wang Liang responded.
Just when Wang Liang was about to leave, Wang Liang seemed to have remembered something again. He turned around and said to Zhang Tianhai: "By the way, regimental seat. I heard from the officers and soldiers of the 64th Army that their unit is the first The 55th Division has already started a confrontation with the Japanese army. The specific situation is not yet known, but it has basically entered a white-hot stage."
Zhang Tianhai already knew about this news. He said very seriously: "Wait! The 64th Army will not be defeated so easily. Their troops have a strong will to fight. Even if they are defeated, Commander-in-Chief Zhang has already led the Second Corps to the front line."
Zhang Tianhai didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Fakui's regiment. After all, when he was in later generations, he didn't take it too seriously when reading this paragraph. In addition, the national army did not explain in the clear telegram which troops there were.
Why not explain it in the telegram? The reason is very simple: they are afraid that the Japanese army will intercept the telegrams of the national army and leak secrets.
Although the intelligence system of the national army is considered to be very sophisticated, it is always a good thing to have some precautions.
Regarding this powerful reinforcement, Zhang Tianhai was not too cold. As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade.
With the police regiment's sophisticated equipment and such a large establishment at this stage, it is bound to be easy for them to come into the sight of the superiors.
Well-equipped and powerful, this is a good thing, but if it is commanded by a stupid commander, it will be a very difficult thing.
But no matter what, Zhang Tianhai must accept this fact.
I can only say that I hope Commander-in-Chief Zhang Fakui will not make any mistakes.
After dealing with the adjutant Wang Liang, Zhang Tianhai continued to go back to his room, smoking a cigarette inside.
If I had to use one person as a metaphor to describe Zhang Tianhai's current state, then only Yan dancing on an egg could describe it more appropriately.
Zhang Tianhai was not afraid of fighting, but what he was afraid of was that his army, which he had put so much effort into, would be buried in this battle.
The annihilation of the entire army sounds very far away, but are there not many regiment-level or even brigade-level units that have been annihilated on the front line? If you don't pay attention, you will be in a hurry.
