While the Battle of Nomenkan ended in such a magical way, Zhang Tianhai was not idle and kept busy with his wife and children.
Of course, according to the law of conservation of energy, when someone is lazy, there will definitely be another grudge working overtime to make up for the slack of his teammates.
That's right, in the Ninth War Zone Guard Force, except for Zhang Tianhai, the number two figure who can be lazy, even the number one figure Wu Yizhi is also busy in Lushan. The source of grievance is naturally Comrade Li Yinglun, the chief of general staff of the army.
The reason why the grudges are called grudges is that most of them are sold and help people make money... Wait, Li Yinglun doesn't seem to be among them... Well, but it's almost the same.
For Li Yinglun, this short-term training work has indeed improved his abilities a lot, especially the joy of being a military officer.
When the results of the Nomenkan war came, Zhang Tianhai smoked two full cigarettes at the door - because he knew that his peaceful life would be broken.
Zhang Tianhai also knew in his mind that for these little Japanese, they had no reason to swallow their anger after suffering such a big defeat on the Nomenkan battlefield. After all, for them, what they lost on the Nomenkan battlefield should be Retrieve it on the battlefield in central China - obviously, the ninth theater of the national army is one of the targets.
"Sir, you don't seem to be in a very good mood. Logically speaking, the Japanese army was severely punished by Lao Maozi. This is a happy thing. Why do you look so sad?" Adjutant Xu Xun stepped forward and asked with concern.
"These little Japanese are never good. They have one very obvious thing in common, that is, they bully the weak and fear the strong. Whatever they lost on the Nomenkan battlefield, they will definitely find it on the Hunan battlefield. Back. Obviously, we are one of the targets." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
Xu Xun has always respected the commander-in-chief like a god, as if Zhang Tianhai is omnipotent and knows everything.
"Sir, I believe everything you said." Xu Xun thought for a while and then said it.
"You don't have to believe everything I say, but you should think more and think about the problem from a strategic direction. Without this kind of thinking, you will not become an excellent officer." Zhang Tianhai looked at Xu Xun and said, his eyes In it, there is a kind of expectation.
Xu Xun was brought out by Zhang Tianhai. He naturally hoped that Xu Xun could stand alone and lead the troops to fight the enemy bravely on the front line.
"I understand." Xu Xun nodded slightly.
Silently putting down the cigarette butt in his hand, Zhang Tianhai's gaze gradually deepened as he looked into the distance. For him, he had to prepare for battle.
"Xiao Xu, go and notify the adjutant general and chief of general staff and ask them to gather in the small conference room in two hours. I have important matters to discuss with them." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with emotion. firm.
"Yes! Sir!" Xu Xun stood at attention and saluted.
…
Two hours later, there was a small conference room at the headquarters of the Ninth Theater Guard Force.
Under dim lights, Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, and Li Yinglun sat facing each other. They were all dressed in military uniforms, and the scene was very serious.
"Brothers, you two have worked hard these days." Zhang Tianhai was the first to speak.
"Old Zhang, you usually don't call us here when you don't have anything to do. This time you called us over, you must have something to do. Am I right?" Zhou Fangjie got straight to the point.
"I think so too. If the commander-in-chief has anything to do, just get straight to the point." Li Yinglun said seriously.
"That's it. I believe you have received the news of the defeat of the Japanese army in Nomenkan. What do you think about this matter?" Zhang Tianhai clenched his hands into a fist.
Zhou Fangjie and Li Yinglun looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Tianhai was selling.
In the end, it was Li Yinglun who spoke first: "Commander-in-Chief, I think this is a good thing. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the Northeast. At least their strength was weakened. This old man has done a good thing for us. "
"I agree with the Chief of General Staff, but I think things will not be that simple. The Japanese army in Nomenkan was almost completely defeated. They can't just swallow this sigh of relief. It may not end there in Nomenkan. I think we should Just watch and wait for their changes," Zhou Fangjie said.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai sighed softly and said: "Actually, you two are only half right. Indeed, the strength of the Kwantung Army has been severely damaged, and the main force of the Japanese army is deeply trapped in the North China battlefield and the Central China battlefield. In the quagmire. They no longer have the strength to fight another war with the Soviets. Even Michutaro Komatsubara, the culprit, has committed seppuku, let alone the main fighting faction of the Japanese army."
"What do you mean?" Li Yinglun was a little confused, because in his opinion, the defeat of the Japanese army was indeed a great and happy event, but that was it. He couldn't guess Zhang Tianhai's intention.
Zhang Tianhai glanced at Zhou Fangjie, who also had a confused look on his face. He decided not to be too pretentious: "The Japanese army suffered a big loss on the Nomenkan battlefield. According to their character, they will never admit the fact of their defeat. Since They suffered a big loss on the Nomenkan battlefield, so they will definitely launch a massive battle against us in Central China...The first battle of Changsha is about to begin..."
Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh, not even noticing that he had spilled the beans.
"The first battle of Changsha?!" Zhou Fangjie was confused. He couldn't tell whether Zhang Tianhai was in a trance, because in his opinion, Zhang Tianhai rarely made such mistakes.
Compared to Zhou Fangjie, who reacted extremely quickly, Li Yinglun, who was already exhausted, was half a beat slower: "What is the first battle of Changsha?"
It was only then that Zhang Tianhai realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly explained: "Yes. In my opinion, it is the first battle of Changsha. With the strength of our ninth theater, these little Japanese want to If they launch a massive attack in a hurry, I think there is a high probability that they will not win, and in my opinion, they will win a less costly battle to wash away their military defeat at Nomenkan. , but it is not easy for them to achieve this goal, but no matter what, we must now enter a state of combat readiness. All soldiers and officers have canceled their vacations and are ready to enter the next battle. .”
"Commander-in-Chief, no matter what decision you make, I will definitely support you. Then, should I immediately return the power to preside over the overall work to you? The current theater security force cannot do without you. "Li Yinglun said very seriously.
"Brother Ying Lun is right. No matter what, I am always on your side. Lao Zhang, just go ahead and do whatever you want to do." Zhou Fangjie said with a smile.
