The flattery snaps, this is the most realistic portrayal in this scene.
However, these cannot save the 106th Division from the desperate situation in Wanjialing. This is the helplessness of the 106th Division - it has a plan, but it always fails in the face of absolute strength. It will pale in comparison.
Looking at the entire map situation, generally speaking, the Chinese army is still advancing steadily, while the Japanese army tends to be conservative.
The large forces of the national army have initially formed an encirclement against the Japanese army, and the Japanese army is also relying on the few remaining strongholds to prepare for a stubborn resistance. Several powerful attack points of the national army have been marked on the map.
Although it was already late at night, the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Commander in Wuhan was brightly lit.
Chen Cheng and several other important military and political officials were in this conference room, studying the progress of the Jiangxi front line. No matter who they were, they all hoped that the balance of this war would tilt in their favor.
On the map, the location of Zhang Tianhai's First Regiment of Theater Guards happened to be the weak point of the Japanese army's waist.
"I'm sorry to call you back to the commander's headquarters at this time to study operations. But there is no way. With the advancement of the war, our army's chances of winning are now finally better, and the Japanese army has also fallen into the encirclement of our army. Commander-in-Chief Xue of the First Corps is already directing this battle. I want to hear everyone’s views on this battle, please speak freely!”
Seeing that Chen Cheng had said this, a major general next to him with a gold star on his collar said: "I believe that everything we do now should be based on ensuring victory, regardless of whether we sacrifice our Whether it is elite troops or ordinary troops. After all, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, we have not had many military victories. The whole country will have no confidence in this war. We must win a resounding victory to stabilize the situation. Everyone’s confidence in Japan’s war effort.”
"Bi Zhi agrees, but there are some differences between Bei Zhi and Director Cheng's opinions." Another major general who also had a gold star on his collar said.
"Please speak freely!" Chen Cheng said seriously.
The major general stood at attention and saluted, and then said: "Thank you, Sir Chen. I believe that in addition to ensuring the military victory of the battle, we must also maintain the existence of some elite troops, otherwise it will not be conducive to the next stage of military operations. We are now We only concentrated our efforts to eliminate one of their divisions, but the Japanese army's strength on the front line in northern Jiangxi was not just one division, but several divisions. If we lose too many troops at this stage, if the Japanese army fights in the next battle If they launch a more violent attack, what can we do to withstand their attack?"
Chen Cheng probably figured out something through the opinions of the two major generals in front of him, which were probably two aspects: one is to concentrate on doing big things; the other is sustainable development.
Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Can we combine these two aspects and carry out a systematic operation? Of course our current goal is to take a step forward and defeat the Japanese army in northern Jiangxi. However, we also The next step of the battle must be taken into consideration. Therefore, there is no conflict between the two. The key lies in how we control it."

"Sir, I would like to express some opinions on the control of the front line." Lieutenant General Luo Zhuoying, commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison, said, "Sir, I believe that the Chief Department should not interfere too much on the front line. The fighters operating on the front line are meant to be used with just a little bit of control. Unfortunately, if we interfere too much, we will probably lose a must-win battle. All we can do is try to control the casualties of our elite troops."
"What You Qing (named by Luo Zhuoying) said is very reasonable and can be used as a research direction." Chen Cheng directly designated the research direction.
"I believe that among the frontline troops, only the 74th Army and the 1st Theater Guard Regiment can be called elite troops. The 74th Army has not yet entered the battle, and the 1st Theater Guard Regiment has We are at war with the Japanese army. Generally speaking, our situation is quite good. The 90th Division and the 91st Division have compressed the Japanese army southward. Matsuura Junrokuro's main energy should be in the 90th Division. As with the 91st Division, if the First Regiment of the Theater Guards attacks Nantianpu, there shouldn't be much of a problem." Luo Zhuoying continued to express his opinion.
"You Qing, please feel free to speak your mind." Chen Cheng still quite trusts his confidant.
"Although the First Theater Guard Regiment is a reinforced regiment in name, its actual strength has reached the level of a reinforced brigade. Now Nantianpu is an important stronghold outside Wanjialing, and the Japanese army will definitely place a large number of troops to defend it. Here, I think it will not be a problem for the troops of the First Guard Regiment to deal with these Japanese troops." Luo Zhuoying did not finish his words at once, but left some space for Chen Cheng to think. This is his sophistication. Got it.
"That's fine. The main force in this battle must be the 74th Army. If the 74th Army fails, then we can replace the First Guard Regiment. As for Nantianpu, let Xue Yue decide for himself. Still. That way, our officers and troops don't have to interfere too much on the front line." Chen Cheng made such a decision after combining opinions from many parties.
…
The military victories of the 90th Division and the 91st Division also made Commander-in-Chief Xue Yue determined to let the First Guard Regiment attack Nantianpu. The time limit was that it must be captured within 24 hours.
As soon as the telegram reached the headquarters of the First Guard Regiment, Zhang Tianhai immediately held a meeting to study and dispatched the spy company that had just been able to breathe to conduct reconnaissance on the front line.
"Hou Ming, I also know that you are very tired now, and your troops are also very tired, but there are not many troops I can send, and you are the only ones qualified for this task." Zhang Tianhai patted the tired Liu Houming , looked at the security company outside the door, and sighed.
In Zhang Tianhai's view, he did train the guard company like a spy company. However, due to the special nature of the guard company, it is impossible to play the same role as the spy company - the duty of the guard company is to protect the regiment headquarters. If the company If the guard company is also dispatched, then the regiment headquarters will have no guard troops, and the consequences will be very serious.
As for the cavalry battalion, Zhang Tianhai was not willing to use this unit that he had spent so much effort to build like this.
It is true that the cavalry battalion cannot play its due supporting role in the mountainous area, but after leaving the mountainous area, the cavalry battalion can be an unsheathed sword. This sword cannot be used to chop just because it cannot be pulled out temporarily. It’s firewood.
This is a huge waste!
"Member of the regiment, in fact, I understand that this is a troublesome matter, but don't worry! When it comes to fighting the little devils, among the entire regiment, our special agent company is second to none, and no one dares to be first. Xiao Let alone the Japanese who are fighting, even if they sleep, I will make them sleep uneasily!" Liu Houming promised, patting his chest, full of confidence.
"As long as you have this confidence, the key is to find out the enemy's position, and then give the enemy a fatal blow. We only have one day and one night. If we don't protect this place, it will be a hard bone. We will bite our teeth and destroy this place." Chew it down!" Zhang Tianhai said sternly. When he conquered Beitianpu, he knew that Nantianpu was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Yes! Group seats!" Liu Houming stood at attention and saluted.
After asking Liu Houming to take people to investigate the details of the Japanese army and launch harassment operations, Zhang Tianhai ordered the artillery battalion and the three main infantry battalions of the first, second and fourth infantry to prepare for combat at dawn.
As for the support units such as mortar companies and small artillery companies, it is the same as before. They cannot provide much support to the front line, and they have to rely on the main battalion to fight the war!
