Even Yang Gancai, who has experienced many battles and experienced many things, has to admit that what Zhang Tianhai said is indeed very reasonable. The problem must be solved at the division level, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
"Then it's settled!" Yang Gancai nodded, making a decision. He turned to the adjutant beside him and said, "Adjutant Liang, please remember this matter well and let the 401st Brigade execute it when you get back. Please convey the order to Brigadier Xiang Wenbin and ask him to cooperate with the actions of the theater security forces."
After seeing Yang Qiancai's attitude, Zhang Tianhai could be sure that the matter had been successfully accomplished.
"Brother Yang, I feel much more comfortable with your words. Anyway, if there is anything, I will discuss it with you and report more to you." Zhang Tianhai said.
"Okay, let's do that! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Yang Gancai saw that things were almost done and it was not a problem to stay any longer, so he hurriedly said he was leaving.
"Okay, I'll see you off." Zhang Tianhai suggested.
In fact, Zhang Tianhai did deliver what needed to be delivered and returned only after he had delivered it to the city gate.
…
Looking at Pingjiang City slowly disappearing, Yang Gancai's adjutant Liang Gan asked: "Sir, do we really believe in Zhang Tianhai?"
"I believe it." Yang Gancai nodded.
"Why?" The adjutant was puzzled.
"Zhang Tianhai is an upright person and has strong patriotic feelings. But if he doesn't have such feelings, his eyes will not look like that. Especially the sincerity in his words. He is from Nanjing I believe in him as a person who crawled out from the dead, and even more in his brilliant record and what he has done." Yang Gancai is quite patient with his most considerate lieutenant.
"Then you are not afraid that he will really imitate Chen Cheng and annex us motley crew?" Liang Qian asked again.
"If he really wants to imitate Chen Cheng, I think that's what he is like. It's obvious that Zhang Tianhai has great ambitions and really has the ambition to help China. I'm willing to help him , at least we must defeat these little Japans together. Our land of China has suffered too much, and we must shoulder the heavy responsibility of this era and fight against the Japanese invaders! Although China is big, not an inch of land is redundant!" There was a fierce look in Yang Gancai's eyes. He never wanted to live a mediocre life like this. As a Chinese soldier, he had fought against the Japanese army several times on the battlefield, but in the end he ended up suffering losses, so there are He will definitely seize such an opportunity.
Some things are not for fame or profit, just for a breath, nothing more.
…
Time turned and it was already September 10, 1939.
The bleak autumn wind gently blew on Zhang Tianhai's face, and the tip of the cigarette in Zhang Tianhai's mouth was already glowing with light. For him, it was a happy thing to have completely established a foothold in the Pingjiang area. .
The Pingjiang Joint Logistics Command was established, and the Joint Logistics Military Discipline Inspection Office was also established. All units have been reorganized or rectified according to predetermined plans, but Zhang Tianhai is still waiting. He is waiting for intelligence from the front.
Of course, Zhang Tianhai is a scheming man. As someone who often leads troops to fight, he is well aware of the principles in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles." Therefore, yesterday he sent the most elite soldiers in his hands to the army. , and the most capable spy company were dispatched, with the purpose of monitoring every move of the Japanese 33rd Division.
Well, as for Xinqianghe, Zhang Tianhai didn't even look at it. For him, now that he has arrived in Pingjiang, he should choose his opponent reasonably.
In Tongcheng, Hubei Province, in the office of the commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Jutaro Amakasu sneezed heavily.
…
The route from Pingjiang to Tongcheng is destined to be difficult. After all, this is the junction of the three provinces of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei. It has many mountainous roads. To put it bluntly, the mountain road has eighteen bends.
Fortunately, the one who led the team to Tongcheng was Liu Houming, the number one sharp-sword officer under Zhang Tianhai. The troops heading to Tongcheng were also the most capable and elite special agent company of the First Guard Regiment in the entire Ninth War Zone Guard Force. Otherwise, this would have been impossible. The mountains are high and the road is far, so it’s really hard to walk...
Compared with the behavior of other troops taking the high road, this has never been done by the special agent company, not to mention that the task they received this time was to monitor the movements of the Japanese 33rd Division.
According to the limited memory in Zhang Tianhai's mind, the Japanese army started their operation on September 18th. Logically speaking, they should have taken action between September 11th and September 13th. , and not too small.
As the number one threat in the Pingjiang area, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was naturally Zhang Tianhai's key surveillance target - it was not far from Tongcheng to Pingjiang. In the absence of bad weather and no troop obstruction, within three days, You can kill directly to Pingjiang City.
Of course, Zhang Tianhai could not let this happen. In addition to sending the special agent company of the First Guard Regiment to monitor them, he also sent a certain number of troops to set up blocking positions on the necessary road from Tongcheng to Pingjiang.
Because of the need to send troops to block the attack from Tongcheng to Pingjiang, Zhang Tianhai also specifically approached Xiang Wenbin, commander of the 401st Brigade, with the purpose of asking the Sichuan Army to send troops there.
Regarding Zhang Tianhai, Xiang Wenbin also received an order from division commander Yang Gancai. The original words were to fully cooperate with the former under reasonable circumstances to ensure that the Sichuan Army troops would not become cannon fodder for the Central Army troops.
It was precisely because of Yang Gancai's last words that Xiang Wenbin couldn't help but be on high alert, especially when Zhang Tianhai told the Sichuan Army to send people to stop the attack.
This was a very simple thing, but it took Zhang Tianhai a long time to explain it clearly. The reason is: letting the Sichuan army fight the blocking battle will not easily alert the Japanese army, and it will help paralyze their minds. After all, Pingjiang The Sichuan Army has always been the main force in this area. The sudden emergence of a Central Army with strong combat effectiveness will inevitably make the Japanese troops of the 33rd Division vigilant and pay attention, and they will be unable to complete the set combat mission.
The key point was that Zhang Tianhai finally said something, which made Xiang Wenbin decide to send troops to fight——
At that time, Zhang Tianhai was at his wits' end and just said: "I am the commander of the Pingjiang area. Don't I know if you can win? By then, won't our theater security forces be the main force to challenge them? Moreover, I have said that losing Pingjiang is equivalent to losing the east gate of Changsha. If the Chairman wants to behead me, Zhang Tianhai will also be beheaded. Now the Japanese invaders are at hand. If you don't cooperate, I will kill Commander Yang and Xue. Sir, I went to file a complaint against you. Really, when did our Central Military Forces ever show mercy to the little devils?"
When Xiang Wenbin heard this, he felt that it made sense. After all, Zhang Tianhai was the first person responsible for defending Pingjiang City. Even if they asked the Sichuan army to use it as bait to lure the Japanese army, they would not do it. When there was a problem, he and Commander Yang would both run away. No.
What's more, when they came out to fight in Sichuan, didn't they just want to fight against the Japs?
