Yes, from Zhang Tianhai's point of view, this change in process did make him feel palpitating, and the origin of this feeling is unknown.
To everyone, this feeling may not be obvious, but to Zhang Tianhai, it is indeed scary.
Because of the appearance of his First Guard Regiment, the direction of history has deviated slightly. More than 3,000 Japanese troops should have survived the Battle of Wanjialing, but now it seems that they have been wiped out, except for Matsuura Except for Junrokuro, no one survived or was captured.
It is precisely because of the changes in the historical process that Zhang Tianhai is a little flustered: he is afraid that history will completely change, and he is even more afraid that the future will be completely changed because of his wanton actions.
But with the next words from Guo Qiliang and others, Zhang Tianhai felt relieved.
"Commander, listen to what the above said, it is possible that I will be transferred back to Wuhan to participate in the final battle to defend Wuhan!" Guo Qiliang reported.
"The last battle to defend Wuhan?" Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly.
"Yes, there is a clear direction on the top of the mountain. The first is to defend Wuhan to the death, and the second is to burn the city!" Guo Qiliang's voice was very heavy. They had all experienced the battle to defend Nanjing, and they were the sons of farmers. They were more capable. Understand the position of farmland in the hearts of farmers.
For all the national army officers present, they all know very clearly what it means if Wuhan is lost.
If Wuhan is lost, then Hubei will be lost, which means that nearly half of the land in China has fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese army.
"Then let's carry out the orders from the top!" There was a hint of firmness in Zhang Tianhai's tone. He also knew that it was impossible to hold on to Wuhan, but he had to carry out the orders from his superiors.
At the same time, this is also a gamble. Zhang Tianhai is betting that he can obtain the best interests in a defensive battle.
Zhang Tianhai didn't believe that the Nationalist Government could make the move of letting its troops defend the city without firing a single shot. In fact, he had no other choice.
This is the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!
"Yes! Members of the regiment! The ranks are willing to defend Wuhan with the regiment to the death!" Guo Qiliang, Li Yinglun, Li Chunfei and others responded at the same time.
Indeed, now that we have reached this point, is there any other way to go?
"Everyone, as far as I know, the city where we are replenishing is in Yueyang. Can we board Wuhan before the replenishment is completed?" Zhang Tianhai asked in a deep voice.
"Old Zhang, in fact, Shangfeng has already arranged the shipping and is waiting for us to board the ship in Yueyang." Guo Qiliang's face was very gloomy. Indeed, no one would be happy with this order.
Don't forget, the First Guard Regiment just fought a great victory on the Jiangxi front line. They didn't even take a break and immediately entered the next stage of the battle without considering their feelings at all.
What's more important is that before the strength of the First Guard Regiment has been restored, some local security groups are directly dragged to make up for it. Doesn't this mean that the First Guard Regiment is dragged to Wuhan to die?
In fact, it’s no wonder that Guo Qiliang has this idea. Anyone would probably think: "Is this your attitude towards the troops who have won the battle? If you win the battle, you have to lose the battle and die. What?"
"Okay, it seems that the theater commander's department has arranged the first regiment of our security guards. We are just waiting for us to strike." Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly. He was really tired after fighting so much. It has been so long, and even the opportunity to make up for it has been so hasty. No wonder he is resentful.
"Perhaps, this is the destination of our troops directly under the theater! Are we going to play a vanguard and demonstration role?" Li Yinglun said with a wry smile. As a person who is familiar with such scenes, he said a fair word.
Zhang Tianhai also knew that Li Yinglun was telling the truth. After all, Li Yinglun was someone who had been hanging around in the military agencies, and he could more or less figure out the thoughts of the people above him.
"Hey, since we can't resist the oppression of life, let's enjoy it!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai lay on the ground all of a sudden, as if he really enjoyed this arrangement.
Guo Qiliang, Li Yinglun, and Li Chunfei looked at each other in confusion. No one was sure what the leader was thinking.
Looking at the three people who were a little stunned in front of him, Zhang Tianhai smiled and said: "What are you looking at? If you have had enough rest, just continue on your way. Get to Yueyang as soon as possible, complete the repairs, and then prepare for the next stage of Wuhan." Let’s fight.”
Seeing Zhang Tianhai's actions, the three of them were even more confused. After a moment of hesitation, Guo Qiliang said, "Okay! Let's execute it!"
Zhang Tianhai had already seen very clearly about this battle - Wuhan would definitely not be able to hold it, and it would fall in less than three days. Moreover, according to the historical process, Wuhan was said to be burning the city, but he did not mention it. There is still a massive defense battle in Wuhan.
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai came to a surprising conclusion: If they went to defend Wuhan, they were probably on a mission to burn down Wuhan. Since this was the result, why not sell it well in front of the leaders, or get some weapons by the way? Bring the equipment back.
When he thought of this, Zhang Tianhai felt relieved.
As for boarding the ship in Yueyang, these things are not what Zhang Tianhai should worry about. From Yueyang to Wuhan, the water flow is from upstream to downstream. As long as the boarding is orderly, it only takes more than a day for the main force of the first guard regiment to You can reach Wuhan.
Of course, if Zhang Tianhai is asked to carry out the task of guarding Wuhan, and with such a small number of people, how can he not speak loudly?
When he thought of this, Zhang Tianhai felt even more comfortable.
Hey, it’s not that Zhang Tianhai likes to cheat, he thinks this is a fundamental way to strengthen his strength. Besides, who are these weapons and equipment used to fight against Japanese invaders? Why not give them the first guard group to fight? Would this ensure a better victory rate?
Hmm... it seems that is indeed the case...
…
While Zhang Tianhai and others were still on their way, Wuhan had already begun to implement the evacuation plan. Due to the early fall of the Tianjia Town Fortress, the defensive positions of the national army were further compressed.
At this time, the National Military Commission in Wuhan decided to evacuate the masses and prepare to leave enough troops to fight a street battle with the Japanese army.
Of course, this sufficient force also includes the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone.
At the same time, war preparation materials to defend Wuhan are being prepared.
