There are many things that Zhang Tianhai doesn't know. For example, He Zhuguang was investigated. What he has been busy with is how to complete disaster relief as soon as possible.
After several days in a row, Zhang Tianhai seemed to have lost weight, but fortunately, he also saved many people along the way. At least the people he saved survived.
"Team members, why don't you rest for a while! Brothers can't hold it anymore." Xu Xun next to him advised.
"Xiao Xu, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I'm fine. Let the brothers rest for a while! At least we have got some supplies." Zhang Tianhai said.
"Yes, regimental leader, I understand my humble position." Xu Xun responded.
…
For Xu Xun, this action may indeed be a bit inexplicable, but he cannot tell whether it is a good thing at all.
The key is that Xu Xun knew how Zhang Tianhai transferred the troops to Changsha and followed him throughout the whole process. He was the type who mobilized troops without authorization.
Of course, Xu Xun also knew that Commander Zhang was born in Huangpu Military Academy and was a disciple of Miao Honggen's emperor. The higher-ups would not hold him accountable for such a trivial matter as mobilizing two battalions of troops.
Of course, the prerequisite for not pursuing responsibility is that there are no problems, especially defensive problems. As long as there are no problems, you can turn a blind eye.
After two days of trembling, the fire in Changsha was finally extinguished. Due to the presence of Zhang Tianhai, the people of Changsha suffered a lot less losses in the Wenxi fire.
On this day, when Feng Ti, Xu Kun, Wen Chongfu and others, the chief culprits of the Wenxi Fire, were shot to death, orders regarding the transfer of Zhang Tianhai's troops came.
Transfer order refers to a transfer order, not Zhang Tianhai's transfer order.
"The Headquarters of the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Command hereby orders your troops to be quickly transferred to Changsha, and your defense area will be taken over by the headquarters of the 95th Division of the 37th Army for immediate execution. Headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Theater Command, Eleventh The telegram was sent on the 20th of September." Xu Xun read the contents of the telegram to Zhang Tianhai who was standing next to him.
Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said, "Is this order transferred from the regiment headquarters? Let Guo Qiliang take charge of the handover. The other troops will seize the time to go to Changsha to rest and reorganize."
For Zhang Tianhai, he has been fighting here for several days. As for the consequences of arbitrarily mobilizing troops, this is not a concern for him at all - if he does good things, he can be easily killed like this. Then this God is so unfair, and what he wants to do is a good deed and must be done.
What Zhang Tianhai didn't know was that in Chief Shangfeng's heart, he had made meritorious deeds. It was just because he was still young and lacked composure in his work that he was not promoted, but he was not held accountable in any way. , and even asked his troops to directly guard Changsha.
It should be noted that although the current Changsha City still looks like ashes, the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Commander will definitely be resettled here soon. Especially, Changsha must be slowly rebuilt in the ashes. The Ninth Theater Guard No. 1 The task of the regiment can be said to be long and arduous.
It is definitely meaningful to mobilize the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone to station in Changsha City at this time. Not only Zhang Tianhai thought so, but Guo Qiliang and others also thought so.
However, at this time, the top management of the Ninth War Zone was quietly changing...
After the Wenxi fire, Hunan Provincial Chairman Zhang Zhizhong was removed from office, so who will be in charge of Changsha? This is a very important question.
And this very important issue is now placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Although Changsha has become ashes at this time, he knows that the Japanese will not let it go, and it will definitely become the focus of the Japanese army in the next stage. , so this defender must be very effective and be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a vigorous defensive battle around Changsha.
Changsha must not be lost! This belief hovered in Chiang Kai-shek's mind.
Therefore, a candidate soon appeared in Chiang Kai-shek's mind, and that was Xue Yue, who was commanding the troops to severely damage the Japanese army in Wanjialing!
In order for this transfer to go smoothly, and considering that the Jiangxi front line was indeed inseparable from Xue Yue's command, Chiang Kai-shek flew to Nanchang, Jiangxi, and went to see Xue Yue. At the same time, he also brought with him the then Director of the General Office of the Military Commission and the Nationalist Government He Yaozu, director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, (PS: Dai Li’s position is deputy director, not full director)
…
At the headquarters of the First Corps of the Ninth Theater in Nanchang, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Xue Yue.
"Brother Boling, I want to change your position." Chiang Kai-shek said, his expression did not seem to be as serious as expected, on the contrary, he was quite easy-going.
Xue Yue was nine years younger than Chiang Kai-shek. When he heard that the Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek privately called him "Brother Boling", Xue Yue immediately recognized the elegant meaning of the piano and heard that this was a good thing.
But when the matter came to an end, Xue Yue suddenly remembered Changsha that was burned by fire, so he did not agree immediately: Chairman, if Boling is within his ability, he can give it a try. "
"That's right. Now Zhang Zhizhong has been dismissed, and Chen Cheng is also responsible for the affairs of the Minister of Political Department of the Military Commission, so I want you to temporarily take over the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth War Zone." We are already in private, so of course we can talk openly and honestly. He said, as for Director He Yaozu who was on the side, he was not an outsider at all, so he couldn't be guarded as an outsider.
"This..." Xue Yue hesitated, with a wry smile on his face.
"Brother Boling, do you have any objections to this transfer?" Chiang Kai-shek asked knowingly.
Xue Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Changsha is like this now, I am helpless!"
Chiang Kai-shek was such a smart man. He immediately heard what Xue Yue meant. He said: "Are you referring to the disunity of military and political affairs in Hunan? Don't worry! You go to take office first, and you can consider the matter of military and political unification in the future." Well."
According to He Yaozu, who was next to him and director of the General Office of the Military Commission at the time, later recalled: "Xue Yue rejected Chiang Kai-shek just because he wanted to monopolize military affairs by himself. Jiang naturally saw his thoughts, so he also said to me, 'If you are willing to do it, let me do it. What is he doing?’ But that’s what Chiang said to many people who asked for positions or titles from Chiang.”
The conversation between Chiang Kai-shek and Xue Yue was a habit of Chiang Kai-shek. After deciding to make important personnel appointments, he would always have a heart-to-heart talk with the appointed important generals or high-level officials.
"Brother Boling, Hunan is an important grain-producing area in China and one of the important granaries of our country. It is very important to us. If the Japanese army comes to attack Hunan, we will inevitably have a protracted war with the Japanese army. If the Japanese army Occupying Hunan will pose a greater threat to our army; and the Japanese army will definitely be more aggressive after obtaining more food. If Changsha falls into the hands of the Japanese army, it will be equivalent to handing over Chongqing. Door. By then, everyone will be in danger. Intelligence from all parties shows that the Japanese army is likely to continue to advance southward in mid-December. You must help me guard Hunan." Chiang Kai-shek said seriously. He said so much and emphasized so much. The importance of Hunan, in fact, I hope Xue Yue can help him protect Hunan.
"Chairman, don't worry. I will live up to my humble position and guard Changsha well. I will never let Changsha fall into the hands of the Japanese army. Chairman, please rest assured!" Xue Yue immediately stood up and saluted with a very serious attitude.
"Okay, okay! With Brother Boling's assurance, I feel relieved..." Chiang Kai-shek stood up, patted Xue Yue on the shoulder and said, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

I'm crazy about working overtime. I'm sorry, everyone, I was "lazy" without asking for permission.
