After the special agent company arrived in Matang Town, they kept a much lower profile. They basically just figured out the general situation before taking out a transport team, and then hid again.
The lightning-fast offensive of the secret agent company made Inaba Shiro very angry. After all, this was still Chinese territory, and his troops were very unfamiliar with it. Moreover, the current strength of the troops should not be too dispersed, otherwise Inaba would Shiro wanted to launch a large-scale cleanup operation on the north bank of the Xinqiang River.
Why shouldn't it be dispersed? This has to talk about the hundreds of thousands of national troops on the south bank of the Xinqiang River. If I carry out the suppression operation at this time, if I can't protect them, a division will come over from the opposite side. By then, my troops will not be able to assemble. If Yueyang is lost, , that is the big problem.
Therefore, Inaba Shiro is now troubled, but he has no good solution - he can only mobilize a regiment of troops to carry out pursuit and suppression operations, but so many troops are of little use and are too scattered. , some of them will be eaten up, and if too large a force is mobilized, there will be insufficient clearing positions.
When he thought of this, Inaba Shiro was not just worried.
If I have to draw an analogy, it would be that of mosquitoes on a summer night - the secret service company buzzed like this damn mosquito, stinging a big bag on the leg of the Sixth Division from time to time. The key point is The sting is very fast. Even if Shiro Inaba wants to catch it, he faces a big problem, that is, his eyes are completely black and there is no trace at all.
Ever since, under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers of the special agent company found out the garrison situation of all the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Xinqiang River in just one month.
Of course, for Su Jinzhi, who is new to the first guard regiment, this is the most exciting thing he has ever experienced in his life, almost all of which he has never experienced before.
In fact, Su Jinzhi has elevated the status of the special agent company to "a combat effectiveness comparable to that of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's guard."
…
Of course, the secret service company had been victorious in consecutive battles on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. As the dignified leader of the regiment, Zhang Tianhai naturally could not hold back his own troops.
During this month, Zhang Tianhai fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the people and even mobilized all the civilians in the area.
Why mobilize civilian husbands? Of course it's for work, what exactly? In addition to building bamboo rafts, there is also the need to train the engineering troops of the theater guard force, including gunpowder filling, elevation angle calculation, etc. Anyway, they are very busy.
The main force is training to attack, the engineering force is training to launch thunder cannons, and the logistics and semi-logistics forces are launching bamboo rafts, even pontoons, and preparing various raw materials.
All in all, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
It is precisely behind this busyness that the war zone security forces are in a high mood to fight. Even these civilians are full of confidence in the officers and soldiers of the war zone security forces.
Anyway, the theater security forces are ready for everything at this stage, especially all operations after crossing the Xinqiang River north.
The camera returns to the meeting.
"Then we should make all preparations between the specific logistics supply and action of the torpedo cannon, so as not to say that we only discovered this problem after we fired all the artillery shells. If you have specific questions, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you and the General Counselor will discuss it Okay, come up with a docking plan." Zhang Tianhai ordered directly from a high position.
For Zhang Tianhai, what he wants now is a perfect victory for the theater security forces.
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Zhou Fangjie and Li Yinglun responded at the same time.
It was the unconditional and strong support of these two regiment leaders that made the entire theater security force finally embrace each other tightly as a whole.
For a moment, time seemed to return to the time when there was only the First Guard Regiment in the entire war zone. At that time, Zhou Fangjie and Li Yinglun were both Zhang Tianhai's deputies, and their cooperation was as smooth as ever, without any worries.
…
Two days later.
It was night, the moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight seemed to illuminate everything around it, especially the direction in which the guards of the National Army's Ninth Theater District were advancing.
That night, when it was just getting dark, at a ferry that was not guarded by the Japanese army, dozens of bamboo rafts were quietly pushed down the Xinqiang River by civilians. Taking advantage of the weak flashlight light, these boatmen carried dozens of guards and took the first step. The soldiers of the regiment's engineering company and a batch of raw materials such as moso bamboo and long wood quietly entered the river and were slowly moving in the established direction.
It was the dry season at this time and the water level was not high. Therefore, under this circumstance, Zhang Tianhai, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the National Army's Ninth War Zone Guard Force, made an extremely bold decision-to erect three pontoon bridges!
Zhang Tianhai also knows very well that sharpening the sword does not stop chopping firewood, so he also knows that as long as these three pontoon bridges are erected, then his thousands of vanguard troops can spend the new year in just one night. wall river.
Thousands of vanguard troops, what kind of troops is this? These are the seven infantry battalions under Zhang Tianhai's direct command. Five of them are from the First Guard Regiment and two battalions are from the Second Guard Regiment. This time, he will risk his life and fortune for the sake of The only thing is to win quickly.
At the same time, it was also a gamble. He bet that with his luck, the Japanese would not find their traces after they crossed the river.
Due to Zhang Tianhai's proper location selection for crossing the river and the proper preparation of raw materials, it only took two hours to complete the construction of the three pontoon bridges.
The moonlight was still so bright and clear, and nearly 5,000 troops from the National Army's Ninth Theater District Guard Corps crossed the river.
In fact, Zhang Tianhai has already decided that if there is still enough time, even the cavalry battalion will cross the river together!
In order to ensure that no problems would arise in each department, Zhang Tianhai did not co-locate the three regiment headquarters, but separated them. The regiment headquarters of the First Guard Regiment followed Zhang Tianhai into the north bank of the Xinqiang River to direct the frontline troops in operations. ; Zhou Fangjie's Second Guard Regiment stayed by the river, responsible for commanding the logistics reinforcements and three thousand civilians, so as to prevent the troops on the north bank of the Xinqiang River from being cut off later; Li Yinglun's Third Guard Regiment stayed behind in Sanjiang Town, responsible for all logistics supplies. The supplies also included the two thousand civilians who came to support them.
Yes, the number of civilians who came to support the First Guard Regiment reached an astonishing number of five thousand. This was something Zhou Fangjie, Li Yinglun and others could not have imagined: because in their view, fighting and defending one's family and country are not It's a matter for soldiers and has nothing to do with these ordinary people. However, they never thought that these civilians were also full of resentment towards the little devils. It was because of the arrival of these little devils that they left their homes, endured displacement, and even had their families destroyed.
It is precisely for this reason that when they heard Zhang Tianhai's call to fight the Japanese, these civilians came out of the mountains to support the anti-Japanese actions of the national army.
For Zhang Tianhai, the more these civilians there are, the easier their logistical pressure will be. It is precisely because of this that the operations of the entire theater security force have become much easier for a while. Even the transportation of weapons and ammunition is no longer a problem. Now we completely rely on the few people in the three logistics and supply camps.
What is the desire of the people? This is what people want!
