What Zhang Tianhai never expected was that he would smoke cigarettes all night long.
It’s still too much pressure.
This kind of pressure cannot be experienced by being a company commander or even a battalion commander. After all, military common sense has shown that the most basic combat unit of the national army is the regiment level.
Since it is a regiment-level unit with certain combat effectiveness, Zhang Tianhai must bear certain responsibilities.
Unknowingly, I fell asleep in this thought.
Early the next morning, Zhang Tianhai received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Commander, which probably explained the number of troops coming.
After Zhang Tianhai read the telegram, he realized that the lineup of the Second Corps was also very strong——
Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army, Wu Qiwei's 4th Army, Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army, and Huo Kuizhang's 54th Army!
Adding up these troops, Wang Jingjiu's 25th Army plus Huo Kuizhang's 54th Army alone have five divisions of the Central Army, such as Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army, Wu Qiwei's 4th Army, Li Han's The 29th Soul Legion and these troops add up to eight divisions!
There are five divisions of the Central Army and eight divisions of the Miscellaneous Army, which is a total of thirteen divisions. Such a lineup is not unpowerful.
Zhang Tianhai himself thought for a moment, and if he included his First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone, it would barely count as thirteen and a half divisions.
"Okay...this is good news." Zhang Tianhai murmured to himself, and slowly put down the slightly trembling telegram in his hand.
"Immediately, let Deputy Commander Guo and Chief of Staff Li gather at the regiment headquarters, and tell them that there is something important to announce, so they must gather at the regiment headquarters as soon as possible!" Zhang Tianhai said directly, "Especially Chief of Staff Li , be sure to notify him immediately. Isn’t he going to take the inspection team from the staff department to supervise the process? Notify him immediately!"
"Yes! Danzuo!"
Under the orders of the evil leader Zhang Tianhai, adjutant Wang Liang was once again used as an errand boy.
Who knew he was used to doing this kind of thing?
Wang Liang's ability to do things was quite high. After a while, two officers, whose status was second only to that of Captain Zhang, were gathered at the regiment headquarters.
"Okay, as long as you are here, the situation has changed suddenly again. We need to make some strategic adjustments." Zhang Tianhai sat at the table and said directly to Guo Qiliang and Li Yinglun.
"What's going on, why are you calling us back in such a hurry?" Guo Qiliang asked directly.
"It's our reinforcements that are ready to arrive. One regiment, nearly 100,000 troops!" Zhang Tianhai said it directly without hiding it.
"A corps? Is it Commander Xue Yue's first corps or Commander Zhang Fakui's second corps?" Chief of Staff Li Yinglun asked.
"This is Commander Zhang Fakui's Second Corps. There are five divisions of the Central Army and five divisions of the local army. If you include the three divisions of the Li Hanhun Army on the front line, there are thirteen divisions." Zhang Tianhai's face was filled with emotion. said seriously.
"Thirteen divisions?" Both Guo Qiliang and Li Yinglun looked slightly moved.
Because they are no longer fighting alone in this battle. The national army already has thirteen and a half divisions, which can be regarded as a small battle.
The strength comparison between the two sides has been getting closer.
"Yes, it's the Thirteen Divisions. We should think about how to mobilize our troops and deploy them." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"Force deployment?" Li Yinglun and Guo Qiliang looked at each other.
"Yes, we must make advance preparations. Our troops have not yet received an order from the commander's department, saying which troop type they will be classified into. Therefore, we must be prepared." Zhang Tianhai's Squinting his eyes slightly, his thoughts were already clear!
If it were anyone else, he might not understand Zhang Tianhai's intentions, but Guo Qiliang is Zhang Tianhai's old partner. Wouldn't he know what the former was thinking?
In Guo Qiliang's opinion, Zhang Tianhai is generally a rather individual commander, and his personality is very distinct - he will never suffer any loss if he can take advantage.
Now that Zhang Tianhai has said this, he must not want to accept the command of other army commanders. In other words, he held the current pre-meeting just to communicate with the two deputy commanders Guo and Li. Just take a breath.
"Old Zhang, if you have any idea, just say it! I, Old Guo, will resolutely obey your command!" Guo Qiliang stated his position directly, and then turned his attention to the "new member" Chief of Staff Li Yinglun.
Li Yinglun felt that the thoughts and actions of Zhang Tianhai and Guo Qiliang were a bit strange, but now that the fate of the three of them had been tied together, what else could he do?
So, Li Yinglun gritted his teeth and said: "I will also absolutely obey the commander's orders. If the commander points east, I will never go west!"
This sentence clearly stated Li Yinglun's attitude. Yes, the attitudes of these three people before facing the change were unprecedentedly united.
As the chief military officer of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater, Zhang Tianhai is also the "helmsman" of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater as it advances in the wind and waves. His attitude determines how this unit will advance in this battle. direction!
Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said: "Okay. Since the two officers and comrades have supported me Zhang so much, I Zhang will not be the kind of person who will be ashamed of your support. Next, we have to We have thought about how to deal with all the changes. I would like to ask both of you to express your opinions on how to mobilize the troops."
Chief of Staff Li Yinglun rolled his eyes and said: "Mobilizing troops? It's a bit hasty at this time. I haven't thought about it yet. Commander, can you give me your general idea now? We can mention this aspect. our thoughts."
"Yes, I think so too. Changes are happening so fast now that neither of us has thought about it well. You can just mention your thoughts. Just like Chief of Staff Li said, we will make corresponding suggestions based on your thoughts. Please give me your opinion!" Guo Qiliang echoed Li Yinglun's statement.
"Okay!" Zhang Tianhai gritted his teeth and said, "My idea is that after Zhang Fakui's regiment arrives, we will assemble our scattered troops again. Otherwise, when faced with new changes, we will become quite passive."
"This idea is quite good. I also agree with your current idea, but should we withdraw the troops in Lushan or the troops in front of the Meijiazhou Bridge?" Li Yinglun asked.
"I want to withdraw the troops in front of the Meijiazhou Bridge. However, after withdrawing the troops here, all the preparations we have made will be in vain. As for the troops in Lushan, I don't want to withdraw. This is our regiment's retreat. , once the battle ahead is unfavorable, we will face the fierce pursuit of the Japanese army. You two also know now that the current combat effectiveness of our regiment is much different from before." Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly, and finally said something Say something he thinks is embarrassing.
"Indeed, our troops have not even had three months to reorganize the army before they are sent to the front line. To be honest, it is commendable that such a unit can face the Japanese attack without collapsing." Guo Qidian nodded.
