Looking at Xu Xun's leaving figure, Zhang Tianhai fell into deep thought. He believed that since the Japanese army had already launched operations at this stage, he should also make corresponding preparations. Otherwise, it would be wrong to wait until Little Japan was in front of him before making plans. Too late.
Although the Pingjiang Regional Joint Logistics Command Headquarters can create relatively good command for the Chinese army in a large sense, the combat effectiveness gap between the Chinese army and the Japanese army still exists objectively.
Zhang Tianhai only had a rough memory of the first Battle of Changsha in his previous life, because he thought at the time that it was just an ordinary offensive and defensive battle, and in the long history of history, it was not considered an outstanding battle.
In Zhang Tianhai's only memory, during the first battle of Changsha, the Japanese army divided into three groups to attack Changsha. At the last moment, the national army defeated the Japanese army and defeated the Japanese army's strategic intention. It was the first time that the Nationalist Government The battlefield situation forced the situation on both sides to return to the pre-war state.
Zhang Tianhai's memory is not clear about how this battle was conducted. He can only judge the future battlefield situation through speculation.
They come, the security.
Su Chunli said it well: There are always more methods than difficulties.
Even if there are no conditions, conditions must be created. This is Zhang Tianhai's life creed. He will never sit still and wait for death, so he came to the combat headquarters hall again.
"Hello, sir!"
"Hello, sir!"
Following a greeting, Zhang Tianhai walked straight to the map in the headquarters hall. His brows furrowed slightly, and then he picked up a blue pencil and started writing on the map. When he came to the last word, At that moment, he suddenly picked up a red pencil and drew a large circle on a prominent location - this was the entire city!
At this time, Li Yinglun strode up to Zhang Tianhai and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, I have a hunch that you are writing notes on the paintings now, and the future will be our number one combat target."
"I had this hunch from the very beginning, when our security force moved to the Pingjiang area to serve as the main defense force. Commander Xue wanted us to be Changsha's protective shield, so we have to step up, right? This time we were beaten by Little Japan. What will Chief Xue think of us? Are we in vain?" Zhang Tianhai said with a bitter smile, everything he is doing now is just to prepare for a rainy day.
"What the commander-in-chief said is absolutely true, but speaking of this, don't we still have a Sichuan Army brigade in the Pingjiang area? The 402nd Sichuan Army Brigade." Li Yinglun reminded Zhang Tianhai that this was his responsibility as chief of staff. .
Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said: "Try not to move the 402nd Brigade, the Sichuan Army brigade, and the show has just begun. The 402nd Brigade is Yang Gancai's starting army, and the current brigade commander Yang Ganquan is his My dear brother, these people are the backbone of Yang Sen’s Yang family army. It would be bad to use them rashly. Try not to use them unless it is absolutely necessary.”
After hearing this, Li Yinglun smiled contemptuously and said: "Commander-in-Chief, these Sichuan troops are not strong in combat effectiveness. Now the overall situation of the War of Resistance is at stake. As long as we are sincerely fighting the War, they should not disobey us." Order. As for the few brushes they have in the 27th Group Army, it’s not that I look down on them. Their five brigades together may not be able to defeat us. If they really dare to surrender to the enemy and treason, we can already clean them up. "
After all, Zhang Tianhai is a person who came from later generations. It is difficult to understand the arrogance of the direct line of the Central Army to look down on other local military units. But when he saw the look on Li Yinglun's face, he suddenly understood - - This is the confidence of the direct line of the Central Military Army to be well-equipped, proud, and able to fight!
Ahem... When reading this, some book friends may refute: When will the Central Army's troops be able to fight?
Of course, if they couldn't fight, could they win the Northern Expedition? Can Zhang Zuolin's forces retreat to the Northeast? Can we win the Central Plains War? Although Zhang Xueliang's participation in the Central Plains War was the decisive factor, if Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army could not fight, how could one family fight against several others?
The blood of the Huangpu student army that massacred all sides has not yet been shed. Many of them have already occupied the positions of division commander, brigade commander, and regiment commander. In their eyes, in addition to inferior equipment, the local army has nothing but inferior equipment. The young master is still defeated by their men.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai didn't know what to say. He just turned a blind eye and said euphemistically: "I think Brother Yinglun's words are wrong. Although our Central Army does occupy a dominant position at this time, our theater security forces alone will definitely If we can't stop the 33rd Division, even if we can, I think the three main regiments of our army will be almost scrapped. How is the situation of our army now?"
In fact, Zhang Tianhai had something else he didn't say: There will be a reward for madness. If you don't believe it, Zhang Lingfu will have to be dealt with sooner or later.
What Zhang Tianhai didn't know was that without his arrival, Li Yinglun would not be sitting in his current position. Historically, he should have served as a battalion-level officer in the 74th Army until the end of the Anti-Japanese War. He was also promoted to deputy brigade commander. As a result, the 74th Army was reorganized into the 74th Division, and he became the deputy commander of the reorganized regiment. He followed Zhang Lingfu and disappeared in the Battle of Menglianggu.
If Zhang Tianhai knew what was going on, he might sigh: Are we really a family? If we don't enter the same house...
However, Zhang Tianhai will never know what happened because of his arrival.
Li Yinglun nodded slightly and said: "What the commander-in-chief said does make sense. Currently there are six infantry battalions in the First Guard Regiment, four infantry battalions in the Second Guard Regiment, three infantry battalions in the Third Guard Regiment, and so on. Including the headquarters guard battalion, there are a total of fourteen battalions, which can basically go into battle. During this period, I have been focusing on training, and combat effectiveness is basically no problem. Plus the artillery battalion and cavalry battalion of the first guard regiment , engineer battalion, the number of troops that our army can mobilize has exceeded 10,000."
"A force of 10,000 people has to head-on block a Japanese division with a total strength of more than 20,000 people. Whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the weapons and equipment, we are inferior to the Japanese army. If there are no friendly forces to help us, I am afraid that our troops will perish. ." Zhang Tianhai sighed.
"Don't we still have the Eighth Army to the south? Do we have to place our hopes on Wang Lingji and Yang Sen?" Li Yinglun was puzzled.
"The war of resistance is a war of resistance for the whole nation. It cannot be just a war of resistance for our Central Army. Even the people around us will not save us. When the Eighth Army comes, I am afraid it will be the day when we are dismissed and executed. The lesson of Long Muhan I still remember it vividly, have you forgotten it?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Li Yinglun, his eyes were gentle but full of power.
The shooting of Long Muhan caused an uproar in the Huangpu faction. No one would have thought that today, when the number of students in the first batch of Huangpu was declining, there would still be students in the first batch of Huangpu who would be executed.
This incident also taught a lesson to the high-ranking "emperor disciples" of the Huangpu Department - all the students in the first period will be shot, let alone the students in the later period.
So, when he heard this, Li Yinglun fell silent.
