"Yes! Sir!!" Xu Xun responded.
Yes, Zhang Tianhai wants to kill first and then play later. For him, the purpose of stirring up the situation has been achieved, and at this stage, preserving the second regiment of guards is the top priority!
If the Second Guard Regiment can't be saved, isn't that nonsense? The established combat goal on the battlefield has been achieved, but I have lost nearly one-third of my troops. No matter how I calculate this account, I can't make up for it. I might as well Retreat in time to preserve your strength?
If you keep the green hills, are you still worried about not having firewood? The first defense battle of Changsha was the stage for the Ninth Theater Guards' performance, not this time: it can be seen from the fact that the Japanese army only dispatched one division with a three-unit system, and the troops were drawn from Jiangxi. Okamura Neji's focus is still on the Suizao battlefield!
In other words, if Okamura Neiji pays enough attention to the Yueyang battlefield, then he should stop fighting on the Suizao battlefield, and then deploy the main force to eliminate the national troops on the south bank of the Xinqiang River first.
There was no way, the military pressure in the northwest of Wuhan was too great, which forced Neji Okamura to put his main energy back there.
Afterwards, Zhang Tianhai returned to the headquarters.
At this time, the telephone line from the former enemy headquarters of the National Army's 9th Theater Guard Force to the 15th Group Army Headquarters on the south bank of the Xinqiang River and on the other side of Yongkou Town had been connected. Therefore, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had to call Report the current situation and the decisions you have made to Guan Linzheng.
"Hello, I am the former enemy commander-in-chief Zhang Tianhai. I will take over the headquarters of the 15th Taolin Temple Army immediately. I'm looking for Commander-in-Chief Guan Linzheng!" Zhang Tianhai said seriously.
Due to limited conditions, Zhang Tianhai's headquarters could only be located in a remote small earthen house. The surroundings were busy, and he could only wait quietly here.
About three minutes later, the call finally came to Guan Linzheng's office.
"Ring ring ring... ring ring ring..."
The phone on his desk kept ringing, but Guan Linzheng had no time to answer it because he also received the telegram from the First Operations Division of the Ninth Theater Commander's Headquarters.
At this time, Guan Linzheng was discussing countermeasures with the chief of staff.
Finally, after the third call rang again, Guan Linzheng couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and grabbed the phone: "Hello, I'm Guan Linzheng. If you need anything, tell me right away. I'm in a hurry for a meeting."
I heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Senior, don't hang up the phone in a hurry. I have something very important to report to you."
"Oh? What is this important thing? Tell me right away!" When Guan Linzheng heard Zhang Tianhai's voice, he also knew that it must be related to the latest information, so he was no longer anxious at this time.
"That's right, senior, Yu Lin also received the intelligence from the First Operations Office of the Chief's Department not long ago. I have to report this matter to you, because I have ordered the troops on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, oh , that is, the troops from Jiankou Town withdrew first, otherwise my troops would never come back, so I made the decision first, and please don’t blame me, senior."
After Guan Linzheng heard this, instead of blaming Zhang Tianhai, he laughed heartily: "What do I think? The decision you made is correct. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon, and they must be waiting for someone." Let alone the timing of a full-scale operation, it is very likely that two Japanese brigades will be captured at the same time. By then, your theater security forces alone will not be able to survive. You should adjust your combat strategy first! I We are discussing the combat plan with the Chief of Staff. During this period, you should first arrange it according to the defensive strategy!"
"Yes! Sir! The theater guard force guarantees to complete the mission! Wait for your orders at any time!" Zhang Tianhai's tone also sounded very happy. After all, it is already very good to not have to fight a head-on battle at this time.
"Okay, that's it!" After saying that, Guan Linzheng hung up the phone.
…
After hanging up the phone on the other side, Zhang Tianhai finally let out a long sigh: "The battlefield situation is really changing rapidly. If you are not careful, the whole line may be wiped out. So be it!"
In fact, Zhang Tianhai is very concerned. This operation can be said to be half satisfactory and half dissatisfied - why do you say that? Because the combat goal was achieved, but he did not gain any benefits.
Seeing this, some readers may be confused: Didn't Zhang Tianhai already annihilate a Japanese squadron and more than a hundred cavalry? Isn’t this considered a profit?
Sorry, it really doesn't count. The artillery battalion used is worth the lives of these people, let alone the mobilization of so many troops.
"Lao Zhang, I feel a bit melancholy when I hear what you mean." Guo Qiliang couldn't help but interjected.
"Of course. According to the past, if we can dispatch so many troops, how can we only gain such a small amount? This time we have gained so few people, plus our own troops have also suffered losses. This is not a big deal. What a big loss." Zhang Tianhai sighed softly.
"No matter what, if we can safely withdraw the troops and achieve the expected goal, it is a victory for us." Guo Qiliang patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder and said.
"That's all I can think about. After the second guard regiment withdraws, our troops can only maintain a defensive posture, and the initiative on the battlefield must be returned to the hands of little Japan." Zhang Tianhai smiled bitterly. one time.
"Just take it one step at a time. Japan's reinforcements are just about to arrive. I don't think they will attack so fast. We still have time to make arrangements calmly." Guo Qiliang reminded Zhang Tianhai.
"Then just wait. Now, we have to study the defensive layout again." Zhang Tianhai shook his head, "What a damn trouble. It seems like these meetings will never end."
It's okay to scold your mother, but you still have to do the work. For example, study the battle plan such as which unit is responsible for guarding where, and which unit is responsible for guarding where.
There was silence in the meeting. Everyone was waiting for Zhang Tianhai, the former enemy commander, to speak. After all, he was going to announce the next battle plan.
Zhang Tianhai also looked very serious. He was thinking about whether there were any undiscovered loopholes in this plan.
…
The camera turned to Chongqing, a mountain city not far away!
At this time, Chongqing was still bustling with people, as if the front line was tense and had nothing to do with them.
Because this is the capital of the Nationalist Government, the Japanese army has not yet invaded here so quickly. Except for small Japanese planes, they occasionally fly twice in the sky, then drop two damn bombs and leave. At other times, there is no war. It's about the same time.
“Dandan noodles, fresh dandan noodles!!”
“Dandan noodles, fresh dandan noodles!!”
A hawker carrying a pole is walking on the street, and he has to sell all the dandan noodles in the pole to cover the food expenses of the family today.
There is no way, all living beings are suffering, especially people during war times.
