You wouldn’t know this if you didn’t list it, but you’d be shocked if you listed it. When the staff listed the achievements of the First Guard Regiment, Yamashita Matsuzawa was almost shocked.
"Nani, this China Army unit can cause so much damage to our army on the front line! Why is this! Are our imperial officers all horse dung?!" Yamashita Matsuzawa cursed angrily.
However, he immediately woke up. To others, he might be a strong enemy, but to him as the temporary division commander, it might be a good opportunity to defeat the enemy!
Yes, Yamashita Matsuzawa needed military exploits too much at this time. At the same time, he was too close to the position of the division commander, so close that he was already performing the duties of the division commander.
Major general and lieutenant general seem to be just one word apart, but in fact they are not. What is different is power, status, and the admiration of others.
"The order goes down. The first guard regiment of the ninth theater of the China Army must be the prey of our 101st Division. At the same time, other divisions, if they encounter this unit, must do their best to destroy it." Yamashita Matsushita Ze said in a deep voice that for him, he had already shown a lot of interest in this army.
"Hai!!" The Japanese officer didn't know why the acting division commander Yamashita initiated this boring order, but he still chose to agree, not for anything else, just to avoid being slapped.
Yes, from the perspective of the Japanese army, most soldiers are capable of obeying orders as their bounden duty, but some people want to overpower the superior.
…
When the Japanese troops were trying to deal with the First Guard Regiment of the National Army's Ninth Theater Zone, Zhang Tianhai had just woken up and was lying on a stretcher, looking extremely weak.
"Where...is this..." Zhang Tianhai asked in a hoarse voice.
Maybe it was because it was too quiet, so no one around him heard it, so Zhang Tianhai was a little angry. He said, "I'm asking you where the hell you are now. Do you think I'm the leader?"
However, it was this sentence that made everyone around him turn their attention to him, but his voice was too hoarse.
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's voice, people around him woke up: "Hurry and give the leader some water, the leader is awake!!"
Soon, everyone was in a panic. In fact, many people thought it was because Zhang Tianhai was the leader of the group, so everyone loved him so much.
In fact, it was not the case. It was because Zhang Tianhai was able to lead his troops to win the battle, and most of the people who followed Zhang Tianhai to fight were due to the Japanese invasion, which led to the death of their families and the separation of their wives and children.
Going to war with Zhang Tianhai can give them a feeling of raising their heads and chest high. Even if they sacrifice their lives, it is worth it.
In times of war, many things are lost and cannot be recovered, especially integrity and ambition, both of which require blood to be exchanged.
The National Army has fought so many defeats along the way, but with Zhang Tianhai as its commander, it has fought many victorious battles along the way. Therefore, for these Kuomintang officers and soldiers, Captain Zhang seems to have become their belief. .
When Captain Zhang woke up, they were extremely surprised. Some delivered water, some put down the stretcher, and some stuffed thatch under the stretcher.
But their biggest wish is that Captain Zhang can be safe and continue to lead them to victory.
Soon, Zhang Tianhai's throat was moisturized, and he asked: "Where are we now?"
"Reporting to the regiment, our troops are about to withdraw through Xiushui County, and the large troops are not out of touch!" reported an officer nearby.
"Then how long do we have before we can reach the Hunan border? I remember that Chief Chen gave an order to withdraw our troops to Yueyang County as soon as possible for replenishment." After Zhang Tianhai's throat was moisturized, he spoke much more fluently.
"Sir, after crossing Xiushui, we will be able to cross the Hunan border in three days, and we can reach Yueyang within five days." The officer reported truthfully.
"Does the superior have any other orders?" Zhang Tianhai asked.
"Reporting to the group, there is no superior officer at the moment. He just asked us to rush to Yueyang County as soon as possible to carry out repairs and recovery." Lieutenant Hui reported.
"Repair and recover as soon as possible." Zhang Tianhai murmured, "It seems that there is still a tough battle to be fought, otherwise Chief Chen will definitely not issue such an order."
The people around them didn't dare to speak out. After all, they were not high-level or middle-level people in the group, so they must be unclear about the orders from their superiors.
When he thought of this, Zhang Tianhai understood something, so he said: "Immediately, notify Deputy Commander Guo and Li Chunfei to come to my place. I have something important to ask."
"Yes! Sir!" the lieutenant responded, "Then shall our troops temporarily stop their advance?"
"Don't stop moving forward. Go ahead at full speed for me immediately. If anyone delays the process, I will kill him!" Zhang Tianhai said angrily. After all, in his opinion, everything can be changed, but the process cannot be slowed down. Once the progress is made, If it is slow, it will affect the historical direction of the Wuhan Battle no matter what.
"Yes! Tuanzuo!" After hearing this, the lieutenant immediately tensed up, because he also knew what the result would be if Tuanzuo had already issued such an order.
About half an hour later, both Li Chunfei and Guo Qiliang arrived in front of Zhang Tianhai, along with deputy leader Li Yinglun, who had been selectively ignored by Zhang Tianhai.
"Reporting to the group, three men of humble rank have been ordered to report to you!" Guo Qiliang took the lead and stood at attention and saluted, followed closely by the other two.
"As long as you are here, I will feel relieved. I want to know, during the time when I was asleep, did my superiors give any orders?" Zhang Tianhai asked in a deep voice. He had already sat up and was eating. Fruit, I asked the people in front of me.
"Old Zhang, to be honest, while you were sleeping, your superiors issued quite a few orders, but in general, our process has changed." Guo Qiliang said very carefully, because in his opinion, if Zhang Tianhai would be very unhappy when he learned the news.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Zhang Tianhai's expression changed. He said, "What did you say? Our process has changed?!"
"Yes, we were supposed to go to Yueyang to rest and recuperate, but judging from the subsequent orders from the commander and his subordinates, it seems that we didn't want to do this." Guo Qiliang nodded and said.
