"You want me to go with the forward troops? Did I hear you correctly?" Guo Qiliang smiled, obviously not believing Zhang Tianhai's rhetoric.
"That's right! With your commanding ability, Lao Guo, I'm afraid it won't be so bad that you can't even command three battalions, right? Don't forget that the basic skills of a staff officer are to plan the overall situation for a large army." Zhang Tianhai said, There was still a smile on his face.
"Hey, then why don't I give in to you? I know you, Captain Zhang Da, are great." Guo Qiliang was speechless.
"But to be honest, when we get to the front line, I'm afraid you will have to come back and assume the role of chief of general staff. Li Chunfei and I will go to the front line to take command." Zhang Tianhai gave Guo Qiliang a vaccination in advance, although he was temporarily deprived of his right to command. Suspicious, but this is the best result.
In Zhang Tianhai's view, Guo Qiliang is indeed a talent, and a useful talent, but in different directions - Li Chunfei is a commanding talent, but Guo Qiliang is a coordinating talent. It would not be a good thing if the two are confused. .
"I know you like to use this kid Li Chunfei and want to train him into a unique talent. Right?" Guo Qiliang pointed at Zhang Tianhai with a smile, and the latter chuckled.
Guo Qiliang continued: "Actually, Lao Zhang, I have always understood that you think my character is too calm. And you are all the enterprising type, so this is why you don't want me to command the front line. Reason, right?”
Zhang Tianhai could hear the negativity in Guo Qiliang's tone: Which man, especially a soldier, doesn't hope that he can lead troops to fight and win decisively thousands of miles away?
Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said, "Lao Guo, you are worrying too much. I never thought like this."
"That is?" A trace of doubt flashed in Guo Qiliang's eyes.
"The first police group can be without Li Chunfei, Zhou Fangjie, and Li Yinglun, but it can't be without you Guo Qiliang. You are the chief steward of the entire group, and you know best how to run the entire group. In other words, with you at my rear, I can fight this battle with confidence."
"Okay, I understand." Guo Qiliang nodded, "But if there is a chance, I still want to lead the troops for a while."
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai nodded and said: "Okay, no problem, let Chunfei be the coordinator this time! You lead the first, second and third battalions to fight!"
"That can only be used to train Chun Fei's overall planning ability." As he said that, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Guo Qiliang's face. After all, it was no longer a matter of a day or two for him to lead troops into battle. How could he miss the opportunity to command regiment-level troops to fight?
Indeed, the unit that Guo Qiliang is in charge of only has half a police regiment and an infantry unit in name, but in reality? Three battalions placed in other units are already a regiment, and the equipment of this regiment is not generally sophisticated!
With the strength of the First Police Regiment, reinforced by artillery battalions, small artillery companies, and mortar companies, the offensive force of three battalions is completely sufficient, and can easily defeat troops of the same level.
For Guo Qiliang, this is an excellent opportunity to command an actual regiment-level unit in combat, which will be of great help to him in his future promotion to the position of regiment commander. Besides, if we were to fight now, we would have the support of the entire First Police Regiment and the strategic tilt of the entire First Corps.
All in all, this is a battle that Guo Qiliang will definitely win as long as he is not as stupid as a pig.
"Okay! That's it!" Zhang Tianhai smiled and said nothing else.
It is said that cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents, which is irreconcilable, but why is it not the same as cutting off someone's promotion path? Guo Qiliang will not always be his deputy to Zhang Yulin. He is also a student of the seventh batch of Huangpu, and he has completed so many tasks outstandingly in the First Guard Regiment. Even if Zhang Tianhai pretends he has not seen it, others It will definitely be visible.
All in all, Guo Qiliang still has a lot of room for improvement. Although he may be slightly inferior to Zhang Tianhai, he is by no means necessarily defeated by him.
…
The troops were still marching, and because it had rained, the road, which was not easy to walk, became even more difficult and dangerous.
The road was full of mud, and the troops' march slowed down rapidly, especially the artillery battalion's. Wheel hubs often fell into pits. Fortunately, Wang Liang's Sixth Battalion was assisting, so the progress was not too slow.
Looking at all this, Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly, obviously this was not the result he hoped for.
"Xiao Xu, ask Deputy Commander Guo to come here!" Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly and said to Xu Xun beside him.
"Yes! Leader!" Xu Xun responded, and then ordered people to go find Guo Qiliang.
Not long after, Guo Qiliang appeared next to Zhang Tianhai on horseback. He said, "Tuanzuo, are you looking for me?"
"Yes. Lao Guo! Our marching speed is indeed a bit slow, especially the supply battalion and artillery battalion. The marching speed is too slow. If this continues, whether we can reach the front line is still a matter of..." Zhang Tianhai His brows were still tightly furrowed and did not relax.
"Lao Zhang, according to your wishes, do you want me to lead the three battalions ahead?" Guo Qiliang asked.
"That's what I meant." Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "If there are no other circumstances, I planned to give you a special agent company to use, but this time is different. I have to hide the special agent company. If you use it, the cavalry battalion will I can give it to you." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
I saw Guo Qiliang shake his head and said: "No need, the cavalry unit is very inconvenient in these high mountains. Besides, the cavalry battalion of our regiment was built with great difficulty. If it is wasted in a place like this, I will I think it’s very inappropriate.”
"Okay, that's the case. I don't need to say too much, just let it be! Then the mortar company will be allocated to you first. If you meet the little devils on the road, don't worry about them. Let's kill them first. One wave. Anyway, we cannot lose the first wave. Even if we retreat, we must win the encounter before retreating!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry! It seems that our regiment has not suffered many losses since we formed the army, and this time is no exception." Guo Qiliang smiled, showing two rows of big white teeth.
"It's a good thing to have confidence. Anyway, just wait for us near Wanjialing! Follow the original plan." Zhang Tianhai's eyes were clear and murderous.
"Okay, it's settled then." Guo Qiliang said with a smile.
…
In this way, in order not to slow down the advance of the army, Zhang Tianhai asked deputy regiment commander Guo Qiliang to lead the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 1st Guard Regiment and the mortar company directly under the regiment to the front line.
Looking at the gray sky, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank slightly: This was destined to be a life-destroying war. According to historical records, this battle was truly bloody.
So, here comes the problem.
Due to the arrival of Zhang Tianhai, will this battle be full of other variables? Zhang Tianhai's mind was full of doubts.

PS: Updates are coming!
I was still too busy with work during this period. The director of the department was doing research and almost died of exhaustion.
Again, this book will not eunuch!
