The camera turned back to the 1st Guard Regiment of the 9th Theater Zone.
Zhang Tianhai did feel a little troubled by this combat order from the General Headquarters of the First Corps - the current Zhang Gushan position was basically completely exposed to the Japanese artillery fire. If the first regiment of guards were to come up, The ending will definitely be the same as that of the 58th Division.
Zhang Tianhai believes that his troops are so powerful in combat and have a large number of superior weapons and equipment that they really should not be placed in this position to endure the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese army. It has already been bombed into a bare hilltop. Even if time passes, they will definitely be killed and injured by Japanese artillery shells and aerial bombs.
"Lao Guo, this is an order for our first regiment of guards to go up, but we have to be cannon fodder..." Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly and said to Guo Qiliang beside him. The cannon fodder he said was cannon fodder in the true sense, not a reference. To die.
"So what? The brothers of the 58th Division have been there for two days. With the artillery fire like this, they will be dead and wounded soon. It is estimated that the 51st Division is also ready to go to the front line at any time. Chapter Not to mention the brothers of the 74th Army. We are both from Huangpu, so how can we lag behind the brothers of the 74th Army?" Guo Qiliang said very seriously, with a firm light shining behind his glasses.
Seeing Guo Qiliang's expression, Zhang Tianhai seemed to understand something: the words written on the door of Huangpu Military Academy, "If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, please go elsewhere, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't come here" are by no means empty words. If you risk your life under the enemy's artillery fire and fight tenaciously and are willing to sacrifice, how can you be safe?
"Okay, I'll assemble the troops right now." Zhang Tianhai nodded seriously, "I will organize a death squad to fight at any time."
"Well, this is your style, Lao Zhang." Guo Qiliang nodded, "Our Huangpu spirit is by no means empty words."
People like Guo Qiliang are the people who joined the army in a real sense to change this turbulent and backward China. When they joined the army, they had no hope of returning alive.
There is no future for life and no hope for the nation. The entire land of China is being bullied by the invaders. It is precisely because of this that the unyielding Chinese people have stood up and will defend this land and this precarious motherland even if they die. .
"Xiao Xu, order the troops to assemble and notify the battalion commanders to come to my place for a meeting!" Zhang Tianhai said sternly. He also understood that this time, the First Guard Regiment may suffer heavy losses, but they will never retreat!
This is the military soul! Immortal military soul!
Half an hour later, the commanders of each battalion and the commanders of the units directly under the regiment headquarters also gathered. They sat cross-legged in the open space of the regiment headquarters, looking at the tall and mighty regiment commander in front of them with eyes full of reverence. .
"Dear battalion commanders and company commanders of the troops directly under the regiment, I have gathered everyone here this time because I have an important order to issue. Half an hour ago, I received an urgent telegram from Commander-in-Chief Xue Yue of the First Corps Headquarters. Order our troops to assemble at Zhanggu Mountain and be ready to support the 74th Army's operations at any time." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"I believe that everyone is no stranger to the friendly force of the 74th Army. They are well-known and have cooperated with our regiment many times. I believe everyone knows better than me about the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army. Now the 74th Army has a good reputation and has cooperated with our regiment many times. The 58th Division, the main force of the Fourth Army, has been holding on at the top of Zhanggu Mountain for two full days. All the troops have been killed and wounded, and the 51st Division is also preparing to move forward. Once we step forward, we will be able to fight against the 50th Division. There is a vacancy in the First Division." Zhang Tianhai spoke very seriously and looked around at everyone.
"This time when we go to Zhanggu Mountain, our mission is to fight to the death. Even if we destroy all our troops, we must also keep the Japanese Songpu Division in Wanjialing! Everyone, do you dare to follow me, Mr. Zhang, to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders! "Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly.
"Dare! I am willing to join my regiment and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders!" A uniform shout came from the officers in the audience.
"Okay! Very good. They are indeed the soldiers led by me, Zhang Yulin. As long as you have this confidence! I am going to organize a death squad. Who wants to be the captain of this death squad!" Zhang Tianhai asked.
"I am willing to serve as the captain of the death squad!"
"I!"
Two voices of agreement immediately came from the audience. Zhang Tianhai took a closer look and saw that it was Lu Shaojie and Liu Houming. No need to look, the elegant sentence must have been spoken by Lu Shaojie, and the simple sentence must have been spoken by Liu Houming.
"Okay, very good. Both Battalion Commander Lu and Company Commander Liu are willing to be the captains of the death squads of the first regiment of our security guards. I appoint Battalion Commander Lu as the captain of this death squad! As for Company Commander Liu's troops, I have other uses." Zhang Tianhai said solemnly. said.
"Yes!!" Lu Shaojie and Liu Houming stood up and saluted.
Zhang Tianhai looked around at the crowd and said: "Everyone, the battle in Zhang Gushan is really dangerous, and you may die for your country at every turn. Please treat it with caution. Yu Lin is here to ask for your help!"
With that said, Zhang Tianhai bowed deeply. For him, this battle was far more dangerous than imagined, so he had to be fully prepared.
…
An hour later, Zhang Tianhai led the special agent company to the headquarters of the 74th Army.
The headquarters of the 74th Army is located in a small stone house behind Zhanggu Mountain. Since there are many trees around it, it is not conspicuous. Besides, if the headquarters are located in such a conspicuous place, it will definitely be It was blown away by Japanese artillery shells, or blown up by Japanese aircraft bombs.
Here, Zhang Tianhai met his old senior Yu Jishi.
After seeing Yu Jishi, Zhang Tianhai immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Sir Yu, Zhang Tianhai, a student of the seventh batch of humble Huangpu students and the leader of the first guard regiment of the ninth theater area, has been ordered to report to you!"
"Very good, Captain Zhang. I have admired your name for a long time. We have fought many victorious battles." After Yu Jishi saw Zhang Tianhai, a smile broke out on his serious face. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.
"I have admired Commander Yu for a long time. I have led troops to fight alongside the 74th Army several times. It is an unprecedented first time to see Commander Yu." Zhang Tianhai also mentioned Yu Jishi, after all, the person carrying the sedan chair People.
"Captain Zhang, you are the best among the students of the seventh batch of Huangpu, and you have also won many battles. Now our 74th Army is encountering difficulties. Our 58th Division can hardly hold on any longer. Even my guard battalion has been sent up. You can imagine how bad the situation is now." Yu Jashi sighed, "Now the main force of the 51st Division has come here, waiting to take over the position. ”
"Sir Yu, our first guard regiment is already in place. Just waiting for your order, our death squads are also in place." Zhang Tianhai said with confidence, "As long as you give the order, Chief Yu, , I’ll fight wherever my humble position means!”
"Okay..." Yu Jishi nodded, "It's good that you have this confidence, but half an hour ago, Zhang Gushan's position was lost. Except for the return of division commander Feng Shengfa, the 58th Division was all wiped out... …”
As he spoke, tears welled up in the corners of Yu Jishi's eyes, but the tears did not flow out...
