Since the enemy's situation was unclear, Zhang Tianhai was unsure of how to fight this battle.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai thought about it and decided to take the next step - to transfer back the troops who stayed at Shangjinling.
After deciding to do this, Zhang Tianhai immediately wrote a paragraph in the "Instructions" column - "The rest of the department requested to take down Nantianpu within 24 hours, but the situation is unknown. It is now decided to transfer to Jinling All remaining troops rushed to the Nantianpu front line and reported the relevant situation to the corps headquarters."
"Xu Xun, execute the order immediately!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, waking up the adjutant Xu Xun who was resting next to him.
"Ah...yes, Tuanzuo!" After hearing the order, Xu Xun almost woke up from his sleep. This was a subconscious reaction.
Seeing Xu Xun's hard work, Zhang Tianhai didn't say much. He just lowered his voice, handed over the telegram in his hand, and said, "Take it and execute it!"
"Yes! Group seat!" Xu Xun took the telegram and read the contents carefully.
When he saw the instructions above, Xu Xun understood: It turned out that the regiment was ready for a full-scale decisive battle. If not, how could the second echelon from Jinling be transferred back? Even the reserve team is ready!
This cannot be blamed on Zhang Tianhai for being fearful or being too cautious. As the saying goes, only by being fully prepared can losses be minimized. Otherwise, if the little devil is determined to fight Zhang Tianhai here, and he has no reserve team, this will be very dangerous.
…
Soon, news about the dispatch of Shangjinling garrison to Nantianpu frontline support reached the headquarters of the First Corps.
At this time, Xue Yue had just fallen asleep. After all, during this period, he was under great pressure. Whether he could completely annihilate the Japanese 106th Division here would depend on his personal commanding charisma.
"What? Zhang Yulin wants to mobilize the defenders of Shangjinling to support the front line?!" Xue Yue was a little surprised. After all, the mission he gave Zhang Tianhai at the beginning was to defend Shangjinling. As for Nantianpu and Beitianpu, they were just side tasks.
Now, the First Guard Regiment has to give up its main mission and engage in side missions. You can't blame Xue Yue for having something in mind.
But will Xue Yue be that stupid person? That must not be the case, Xue Yue is already ready.
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
Zhang Tianhai is a talented person, and he is a general. Xue Yue must reuse him.
Therefore, Xue Yue made a decision almost immediately and issued an order directly: "Inform Zhang Yulin that the Shangjinling garrison can be mobilized, but the task of capturing Nantianpu must be completed within 24 hours, otherwise, any accidents will occur , we will investigate the relevant responsibilities together!”
Xue Yue's words were quite weighty and heavy enough, because he knew that there could not be any more accidents on the front line, otherwise all the previous efforts would be wasted.
The Japanese Songpu Division will eventually be wiped out in the Wanjialing area. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain to the people across the country!
"Yes! Jun seat!" The staff adjutant stood at attention and saluted. His face was as dark as water, and he seemed to have a different aura around him.
…
This telegram with such severe measures was quickly sent to the headquarters of the 1st Guard Regiment of the 9th Theater Zone.
After receiving the news, Zhang Tianhai did not hesitate and immediately ordered his adjutant Xu Xun to carry out the task of drafting a telegram to deputy commander Li Yinglun.
Like the telegram sent by the Corps Headquarters, Zhang Tianhai's telegram was also very harsh.
The content is very simple. It probably means that if it has not arrived a long time ago, it will be carried out in strict accordance with military law. At the same time, this telegram also conveys the headquarters' order to the First Guard Regiment to capture Nantianpu within 24 hours. .
Zhang Tianhai's purpose of doing this is very simple, probably to tell Li Yinglun: Now the main force of the regiment has encountered a very serious situation, and you must cooperate if you stay behind. Otherwise, I will not have a good time, and you will not have a good time either.
The implication is unpleasant to say, but Zhang Tianhai had to do it - Li Yinglun, Zhou Fangjie, and Guo Qiliang are different. The latter two people accompanied him through the crisis. I believe in this friendship. The two of them will definitely take it to heart and will not joke about these things. But Li Yinglun was different. He was transferred from the First War Zone and was a political worker. Since he and Zhang Yulin did not share the same hardships, he was afraid that Li Yinglun would not obey orders at critical moments.
…
Zhang Tianhai's telegram soon reached Shangjinling.
At this time, Li Yinglun was just about to fall asleep when he was woken up by the combat staff next to him: "Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander Li, there is an urgent call from the regiment!"
"Huh? An urgent call to the group?! Li Yinglun was immediately awakened, because if Zhang Tianhai had nothing urgent to do, he would definitely not send him an urgent call.
"Yes, they are all here." The combat staff officer said seriously, holding a piece of telegram translation in his hand.
"Bring me the flashlight." With that, Li Yinglun took the flashlight from the hands of the combat staff, then took it and read the contents of the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Li Yinglun couldn't help but smile bitterly: This Zhang Yulin is really too damn cautious. He still doesn't trust me yet.
However, he had no choice but to give Li Yinglun no less orders.
"Notify all the garrison troops immediately to reinforce Nantianpu. Anyone who dares to miss the important event will be punished by military law. I will kill him!" Li Yinglun said sternly. The one difference between him and Zhang Tianhai is that they are political and military talents. There is always a little difference between talents. For example, there are differences in ways of doing things and personal charm.
"Yes! Sir!!" the combat staff officer responded.
Soon, under Li Yinglun's strict order, the troops of the second echelon of the First Guard Regiment immediately took action and quickly moved towards Nantianpu.
…
On the other side, outside Nantianpu.
After several hours of rigorous reconnaissance, several platoons of the special agent company discovered Japanese garrison troops in different directions.
These Japanese troops are stationed on high ground, and they can provide certain support to the Nantianpu village itself.
In other words, as long as the national army wants to attack Nantianpu, they must capture these highlands. Otherwise, the attacking troops will be exposed to the sight of these highlands at any time, resulting in unnecessary losses.
After learning about this situation, Liu Houming did not hesitate and immediately reported the situation to the regiment headquarters.
In addition to reporting to the regiment headquarters, Liu Houming also made a very bold decision, which was to take his special agent company to sneak attack on one of the positions.
"Company Commander, according to our reconnaissance, there are no less than 300 Japanese troops. If we just attack them like this, will our chances of winning be good?" One of the platoon leaders asked worriedly.
"Damn it, our special agent company has always been the only one to kill other kidnappers. How can we say that the kidnappers have a better chance of winning than us? Even if there are three or four hundred of them, so what? Let's kill some of them and leave. Isn’t that enough?” Liu Houming said proudly.
