Now that the conversation has entered the main topic, Zhang Tianhai did not hide it and answered directly: "I think the reason why Shangfeng sent our theater security forces here this time is to ensure the safety of Pingjiang, the eastern gateway to Changsha."
"That's true. Your troops are very strong, with more than 10,000 troops. Judging from the number of people alone, their strength has reached the size of our 134th Division, and your troops have always been in direct combat with the Japanese army. , with so many victories, why did Shangfeng order the theater security forces to control the troops in the Pingjiang area?" Yang Gancai asked. In fact, he was very confused by the order issued by the theater troops.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't quite understand why the war zone issued such an order. Normally, each ministry should control its own troops. There is a brigade of your ministry in the Pingjiang area. Now actually I It’s also very confusing as to what to do.”
"It seems that this order from the commander-in-chief was very hasty. He didn't even explain the strategic intention to you." Yang Gancai frowned slightly and said.
"It is indeed a bit hasty, but according to our own guess, the commander's department should have received the news that the Japanese 33rd Division will move south in the near future, but due to confidentiality and other reasons, they cannot tell us." Zhang Tianhai said seriously. Dao, this is also his own guess.
"The Japanese 33rd Division is going south soon? There seems to be no latest news on this. The Japanese army has not made any moves. If this unit rushes south rashly, it will definitely fall into the 27th Group Army of the Sichuan Army and the Central Army. The Eighth Army jointly besieged, and according to our intelligence, this force does not seem to be the main force of the Japanese army, it seems to be just a second-line force." Yang Gancai analyzed that he was not convinced by what Zhang Tianhai gave. reason.
Zhang Tianhai shook his head slightly and said, "Commander Yang, this is wrong. Once the Japanese 33rd Division goes south, they will not act alone. Their target must be Changsha."
"If you put it this way, then the commander's department is ready." Yang Qiancai's frown eased a little.
"I guess that's the case. If the Japanese army's strategic target is Changsha, it makes sense. Pingjiang is the eastern barrier of Changsha. Once they move south from Yueyang to Changsha with their main force, they will first cross the Xinqiang River and fight all the way across the Miluo River. Even if we reach Laodao River, then the main force of our ninth theater will focus on the defense of northern Changsha. By then, the Japanese army will launch an attack from the west of Jiangxi, and the troops in the north and south of Pingjiang will be exhausted. At that time, it will be up to your Sichuan army to defend Pingjiang. , I guess it’s a bit difficult, right?” Zhang Tianhai talked eloquently, his eyes never leaving Yang Gancai’s eyes.
After Yang Gancai heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said: "Our Sichuan Army still has at least one army defending here. If we fight the Japanese army head-on, we can probably hold it, but we will also pay a very heavy price. Now. Since your theater security forces are guarding here, we should have a certain chance of victory."
"Mr. Yang, to be honest, we understand your concerns. Now let's be honest, we are just afraid that our security forces will annex your Sichuan Army brigade, right?" Zhang Tianhai mentioned it directly, but he did not give Yang Gancai any advice. He had a chance to think, and then said: "Don't worry about this! Our security forces are not like some people who eat all troops. To put it bluntly, we came to Pingjiang this time just to fight against Japan. of."
Obviously, Yang Qiancai was a little surprised by Zhang Tianhai's straightforwardness. He did not expect the former to be so direct: "Commander Zhang, according to what you said, I still don't quite understand what you mean, saying it so straightforwardly."
Regarding Yang Gancai's confusion, Zhang Tianhai just smiled softly and said: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang is not afraid to speak directly. Now our goal is to fight against Japan together, not to engage in internal fighting. I crawled from the dead in Nanjing." Come out. If Mr. Zhang’s troops had not left quickly, otherwise, he would have become one of the 300,000 innocent souls in Nanjing. Whether it is Nanjing or Shanghai, I, Mr. Zhang, have never been a coward. For these The little Japanese who invaded our country will always fight to the end without any mercy. If only I, Zhang, were so afraid of death, I would not be alive today, nor would I have fought such a victorious battle against the little Japanese. .”
After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, Yang Gancai was not only in awe of the young-looking guy in front of him.
"Commander Zhang, I understand what you mean. It turns out that I, Yang, am trying to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart! I'm sorry, I'll drink this bowl of wine first as a token of respect!" After saying that, Yang Gancai He picked up the already filled wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Yang Qiancai holding the bowl of wine and drinking it all in one gulp, Zhang Tianhai did not slow down at all. He also picked up the wine bowl in front of him that was already full of wine and said: "I hope that the sacrifice of our soldiers and the shrouding of their bodies in horse leather can be exchanged for The country is peaceful and no longer suffers from invasion by invaders. Give our land of China peace! Do it!
"
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai also drank it in one gulp, very generously.
The two people who had finished drinking the wine smiled at each other, as if they could see the innocent heart of resisting Japan and saving the country in each other.
For a time, the hero saw the hero and cherished each other.
"Commander Zhang, you are really bold! Haha!" Yang Gancai smiled heartily, looking even more heroic against the backdrop of the beard on his face.
"Master Yang, you are even more generous! May we fight side by side to advance and retreat together and repel the Japanese army!" Zhang Tianhai also had a proud face.
"Must!" Yang Qancai said with a smile, and the two of them had resolved their misunderstanding.
After the two of them sat down at the same time, Yang Qiancai asked: "As for joint command, brother Zhang, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang, to be honest, military power must be in the hands of the theater security forces, because this is what Commander Xue meant."
"I know this. Please tell me more specifically. After all, I want to hand over a brigade of troops to your theater security force for management. This is half of the troops in my hands. I don't understand it clearly. Brother, in my heart But I really have no bottom line. The point is, I can't explain it to Commander-in-Chief Yang Sen. I hope you can understand, brother." Yang Gancai's words are true.
"Don't worry! Brother, I won't use your troops indiscriminately. The Japanese army has not taken action yet. According to my idea, it is to set up a military discipline inspection office under joint logistics command. Military discipline must be implemented in accordance with our Central Army's "At the same time, let your brigade come near Pingjiang. After all, the Pingjiang area is only that big. If necessary, you may have to let your troops guard Pingjiang City." Zhang Tianhai said happily came, but did not reveal all his plans.
After hearing this, Yang Gancai became even more puzzled: "Why would you want my troops to defend the city? Instead of your troops defending the city?"
