Zhang Tianhai was not the kind of person who was indecisive. He made a decision immediately: "Artillery battalion, aim at the Japanese joint headquarters in Nantianpu, and continue to bombard me! Five rounds in a row!"
"Yes! Regiment seat!!" Zhao Chengge, commander of the artillery battalion next to him, responded.
Following Zhang Tianhai's order, the surrounding artillery officers and soldiers began to take action, either loading or carrying artillery shells, and they were busy.
Seeing that he was almost ready, Zhao Chengge waved the flag and shouted: "Lower the muzzle by one degree and fire five rounds! Get ready!!!"
After a busy jingle, Zhao Chengge finally waved the flag: "Fire!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
There was a burst of artillery fire, and more than a dozen shells passed through the air, hitting the rear of Nantianpu hard.
As the explosions continued, the Japanese soldiers screamed one after another, so cruel.
It was not only the Japanese troops who were panicked, but also the national troops who had rushed to the Japanese army's first line of defense.
"Where did the artillery fire come from? Where did the artillery fire come from?!" Lu Shaojie, the commander of the first battalion, cursed angrily, because based on his feeling, these artillery shells were fired from his own position.
"Battal Commander, it seems they are coming from our artillery position..." The soldier next to him poked Lu Shaojie and asked him to look behind him.
As a result, it turned out that artillery shells were bombarding Nantianpu from their own position. Although they were not hit now, it still gave them a shuddering feeling.
"Batalion Commander, what should we do now? Continue to fight?" The soldier next to him flinched a little.
But is Lu Shaojie really that stupid? Not necessarily! He knew very well: Can Zhao Chengge have such courage? Dare to fire artillery shells at the fighting front line without permission? Not necessarily!
This can only be the work of Tuanzuo, and only Tuanzuo has the courage to fire at the enemy and our troops who are still fighting!
Since it was the work of the regiment leader, he must have his own reasons for doing so - but the most likely thing is that the regiment has already prepared to capture Nantianpu as soon as possible at all costs. If he retreats at this time, he, Lu Shaojie, will have the chance. Ten heads are not enough for Tuanzao to shoot!
"Fight! We must fight! If anyone retreats without authorization, I will kill him! Damn it!!" Lu Shaojie was already full of ferocity at this time. He has already beaten to this level, and there is still reason to retreat. ? What's more, their strength is not inferior to that of the Japanese army!
Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of person who just waits for a fighter plane to appear. Even if there is no fighter plane, he still wants to create one.
"Order the cavalry battalion to prepare for battle!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Group seat!!" Xu Xun responded.
But when he heard the order for the cavalry battalion to go into battle, Li Yinglun, the deputy commander next to him, became a little uneasy. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and said: "Regiment leader, I'm afraid this order is inappropriate? This is around Nantianpu. But it’s all paddy fields, and it’s rained recently, so our horses can’t gallop here, right?”
"I didn't let them fight on horseback. The guy in their hands was quite strong. Even if they went to the first cavalry company, they could withstand the attack of a Japanese squadron with the strength of the second and third cavalry companies alone, right? "Zhang Tianhai said very calmly, "I want them to threaten the Japanese army's flanks!"
"I understand what you mean. No wonder Li Zongren, Chief Li, and the others thought so highly of you back then. Now I understand, your kid's brain is not ordinary." Li Yinglun smiled bitterly.
"Take a look! War is an art. It depends on how you play it. The reason why I asked you to help with logistics before. The first one is to let you know about our group, and the other one is to let you see it. , How did our first regiment of guards fight?" Zhang Tianhai's face was filled with confidence. This kind of confidence when facing war is something that cannot be seen on the faces of most people of this era.
"Okay, then I want to see how you fight in this battle." Li Yinglun smiled.
Not long after, the cavalry battalion commander Wang Yongcheng arrived.
"Reporting to the regimental seat, Wang Yongcheng, commander of the cavalry battalion, has been ordered to report to you!" Wang Yongcheng saluted seriously.
"Okay, I won't say much else. Your battalion's current mission is to rush to the rear flank of the Japanese army in Nantianpu as quickly as possible and launch a diversionary attack against them." Zhang Tianhai said seriously, "In addition, It should be noted that there are paddy fields everywhere here. You don’t need to charge on horseback. You can just carry out the task of containing them. You don’t need me to teach you how to use your horses, right?”
"Yes! Regiment leader!" Wang Yongcheng responded first, then changed the topic and said: "As for this matter, regiment leader, please rest assured. The cavalry battalion will definitely live up to your expectations. In addition, our horses It is the best tool for carrying heavy machine guns and other supporting weapons and equipment.”
Zhang Tianhai nodded and said: "Well, it's good that you understand this. In order to carry out this mission well, I will give you my guard company. If Wang Yongcheng fails to complete the mission, I will only ask you!"
"Yes! Group seats!!" Wang Yong stood up and saluted, vowing.
"Adjutant Xu, give me an order to ask Company Commander Xu Sangou to obey Battalion Commander Wang Yongcheng and perform the mission! If you disobey the order, you will be dealt with according to the military law!" Zhang Tianhai's words were very harsh. After all, in his opinion, this boy Xu Sangou is currently I have been honest during this period, but I am still afraid that this kid will fall off the chain at the critical moment.
"Yes! Group seat!" Xu Xun responded.
…
Sure enough, just as Zhang Tianhai expected, Xu Sangou became energetic after hearing this extremely stern order - he didn't even have any other thoughts. He must obey Battalion Commander Wang's order, otherwise he would have to turn around. Gotta be shot.
Xu Sangou is also very aware of Tuanzuo's temper. This is the principle Tuanzuo has adhered to since arriving at the Songhu battlefield: do what you say, and if you say you will be shot, you will be absolutely merciless.
So, just like that, Xu Sangou's guard company of more than 200 people, plus the more than 400 people from the cavalry battalion, set out for what Zhang Tianhai called the "side and rear wing."
As for the definition of this "side rear wing", Wang Yongcheng can only find it himself and find the general direction.
…
Then turn the camera back to Nantianpu in the fierce battle.
As the main fighting party, the national army was naturally menacing, and the first-level firepower was not weak to begin with, and there was a firepower-strengthening squad, so they naturally did not suffer too much.
But as the Japanese defenders, their Japanese army is having a hard time. For example, now, they can no longer withstand the attack of the national army.
Although the Japanese army was determined to defend Nantianpu, they had no choice. They lacked a backbone and were resisting like a piece of loose sand. They seemed to have reached the point where they didn't even know where the enemy was. They could only rely on Playing with your own intuition.
Oshika Sanmaru is an ordinary soldier of the Japanese army. As a soldier at the lowest level, he feels more than a little frightened by the changes in these days - I heard that the commander of the company has been killed, and the entire command headquarters has been destroyed. Okay, what else is there to fight for?
But the scene before him had to convince him that his teammates were indeed resisting.
