In response to the Japanese charge, the national army responded quickly - because they also knew that if they waited until the Japanese army rushed up, they would have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army and the Japs, and they would definitely suffer.
We must nip losses in the bud. This is the thinking of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army.
"Team leader, do we want to participate in the battle?" Liu Houming asked.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said: "Let them fight the battle by themselves! The glory of this battle must belong to the 74th Army. We have attacked too much, which is definitely not a good thing."
"Yes! Leader!" Liu Houming didn't ask why, he only knew that he should obey the order of the leader, that's all.
As for why Zhang Tianhai didn't get involved, the reason is very simple - his mission has been completed, and if he continues to fight, it will not only arouse the hostility of the 74th Army, but also damage the spy company, so he deserves the credit. , taking too much credit is not a good thing.
Besides, with the sophistication and reputation of the First Guard Regiment, there is no need to grab credit to highlight its capabilities, and the First Guard Regiment will expand into a division-level force sooner or later.
Zhang Tianhai has already figured out many things, and he thinks there is no need to strive for too many things, otherwise he will definitely become Zhang Lingfu in Meng Lianggu!
"Retreat! Remember to take your injured brothers with you. We have no habit of abandoning our teammates." Zhang Tianhai waved his hand and then led the troops back.
"Yes! Group seats!" Liu Houming responded.
…
When Zhang Tianhai led people down the mountain to the headquarters of the 74th Army, the gunfire on the mountain had reached its peak, and it could be said that the sound of killing was loud.
"Sir Yu, I have successfully completed my mission. Now Brigadier Zhang's troops have reached the top of the mountain. Please give me your instructions." Zhang Tianhai stepped forward and reported directly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Zhang. The guns and ammunition you want will be allocated to you later. I want you to be the reserve team for Zhang Gushan battlefield at any time. Can this be done?" Yu Jishi asked in a deep voice, seemingly Asking, but actually giving orders.
"Promise to complete the mission!" Who is Zhang Tianhai? He is an officer from the 21st century, and he still has this sense of obedience, although few people directly command him.
"Well... As long as you say this, go back! Have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle!" Yu Jashi said sternly.
"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Tianhai responded, but secretly he breathed a sigh of relief.
…
For Matsuura Junrokuro, the loss of Zhang Gushan made him fall into an unprecedented passivity.
Compared with him in history, Matsuura Junrokuro already had three thousand fewer troops at this time. It was precisely because of the lack of soldiers that the 106th Division was even more in short supply - if he still doesn't think of a way to solve this problem , then he will face the cruel situation of having no available troops, not to mention the even more heavy casualties among frontline officers.
In this case, Matsuura Junrokuro thought of his old commander-General Hata Shunroku. Now his troops have been trapped in the Wanjialing area by the Chinese army. This is something that the entire country knows. If it is proposed at this time Never ask for too much.
Besides, why did the 106th Division appear in Wanjialing? Isn't it because you want to save this cheater, Masaharu Honma? Isn't it because the decision-makers of the Eleventh Army made mistakes? It's not his problem, Junroku Matsuura.
Thinking of this, Matsuura Junrokuro decided to immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the Central China Expedition Army.
"Come here, send the report immediately!" Junrokuro Matsuura said in a deep voice.
"Excuse me, division commander, where do you want to send the telegram?" A staff officer stepped forward and asked.
"Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, send to General Hata Shunroku!" Matsuura Junrokuro's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Hai!" the Japanese staff officer responded, and then took out a notebook and pen.
Seeing that the staff was ready, Matsuura Junrokuro said: "This is to say that General Hata Shunroku, Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Expeditionary Force of the Empire of Japan, Junjian, is now in a desperate situation and is surrounded by dangers. The China Army has successively launched violent attacks on the headquarters. Attack, now both soldiers and officers are in a terrible situation. I request the General to airdrop a group of officers and soldiers to the Ministry of Commerce to ensure that the Ministry of Commerce can sustain the arrival of reinforcements and prevent the Ministry of Commerce from being destroyed by China The army was annihilated in Wanjialing! Junrokuro Matsuura, commander of the 106th Division, hereby submits."
"Hai!" The Japanese staff officer's hand speed was very fast, and all the records were recorded in a short time. The speed was not ordinary.
…
For the headquarters of the Central China Expeditionary Force, due to the particularity of the 106th Division at this stage, the combat readiness duty room of the headquarters is in a green channel state under the instructions of the commander, General Hata Toshiroku.
No, after receiving the telegram from the 106th Division, the combat readiness duty room immediately ran to report to General Hata Shunroku. If he hesitated, someone would be in serious trouble.
Not only those on the front line are unlucky, but those in the combat readiness duty room will also be held accountable. These are the exact words of General Hata Shunroku.
"Your Excellency General, on the Wanjialing front line, the commander of the 106th Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, has an urgent message!" Standing outside the door of the commander's office, the Japanese staff officer on duty reported loudly.
Yes, any telegram coming from the Wanjialing front line will be regarded as an urgent telegram.
"Nani? Why did Matsuura-kun call so late? It seems that he is in trouble..." A slightly tired voice came from the door.
About three minutes later, the office door opened, and I saw that Shunroku Hata had just put on his clothes, and there was a bright red lip mark on his neck. Apparently, he had just finished "business".
"Your Excellency General, the telegram is here, please read it." The Japanese military staff officer on duty respectfully presented the translation of the telegram.
Shunroku Hata nodded, took the translation of the telegram, and started reading it directly at the door.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Shunroku Hata's face changed slightly, and he said: "Matsuura-kun is very arrogant. He will not send such a telegram unless he is in a very difficult situation! Send an order immediately and select A group of officers and soldiers will be airdropped to the Wanjialing front line!"
"Hai!" the staff officer on duty said, standing at attention and lowering his head. His attitude was very correct.
Looking at the direction in which the on-duty staff officer was leaving, Shunroku Hata murmured: "Such a shameful thing as being wiped out by the China Army to a division must never happen to me, Shunroku Hata, the 106th Division. There is absolutely no room for error!”
Yes, whether from a personal friendship or a public standpoint, Shunroku Hata would never let any problems arise in the 106th Division. This was an order given to him by the Japanese headquarters and an order personally given by Emperor Hirohito.
The fact that Matsuura Junrokuro's 106th Division was besieged by the Chinese army in the Wanjialing area has had a great impact on the Japanese government and opposition parties.
It can be said that the whole of Japan is now paying attention to the progress of this battle. If an entire division is really annihilated by the Chinese army, how much panic will this cause?
