"What does Brother Chengzhi mean?" Xu Jinzhi asked.
"What I mean is, let's do it! Let Zhang Tiannan go to the ninth theater to guard the troops. Even if Zhang Tiannan is transferred to other troops in the future, there will be some development prospects..." Zhang Chengzhi hesitated, but he still added: " Only in this way can Zhang Tiannan learn the skills of his brother, and then the frontline troops will have another tiger general, which is a great blessing for our Central Army."
"That's true. Brother Chengzhi is indeed an outstanding teacher in Huangpu." Xu Jinzhi nodded in agreement.
Just when Zhang Tiannan's future and fate were uncertain, an elite Japanese unit quietly set out from Tongcheng and attacked Pingjiang.
The size of this Japanese army is not large, only the size of a brigade, but the task they shoulder is not simple - monitoring Pingjiang.
Due to the lack of information and the previous series of encirclement and suppression actions by Japanese troops against the Special Agent Company of the First Guard Regiment, the Special Agent Company of the First Guard Regiment was not able to receive the news immediately.
It was already a day later when Liu Houming learned that an elite brigade of the Japanese army was quietly dispatched.
"What should we do about this? The commander asked us to monitor Tongcheng, but we failed to complete the task..." Deputy company commander Qin Xuehai looked a little panicked.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. It's just a large group of Japanese troops. With the strength of our theater security forces, it shouldn't be difficult to annihilate them all." Liu Houming gritted his teeth and said, "Well, let's call the commander immediately and inform him of this. . Let’s just say that an elite brigade of the Japanese army quietly moved south a day ago, with no clue of their movements.”
"Tell the truth? Wouldn't the commander blame us?" Qin Xuehai was a little hesitant.
"No, sir is not that kind of person. But if we conceal it and fail to report it, leading to serious consequences, do you think the commander-in-chief will shoot us both?" Liu Houming looked at Qin Xuehai with amusement on his face.
Qin Xuehai thought about it, and it was true that if they concealed the report, the commander-in-chief would definitely shoot them both.
So, Qin Xuehai nodded and said: "I understand, company commander. I'll do it right away." qδ
Not long after, a telegram was sent from Tongcheng to Pingjiang.
Pingjiang County, Joint Logistics Headquarters.
"This move by the Japanese army is a bit intriguing..." Zhang Tianhai held the telegram in his hand and frowned slightly.
"It's indeed intriguing." Zhou Fangjie said seriously.
"I have a hunch that they are coming for our Pingjiang area. Maybe they are an abandoned pawn?" Zhang Tianhai murmured, war is something that affects the whole body.
"But no matter what, if an elite brigade launches a sneak attack on our army, it will not be difficult to break through our army's two or three lines of defense." Zhou Fangjie said in a deep voice, "So... I suggest that the news be informed immediately. Go to the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army."
"I think it's necessary, but... let's convey it later! Now the Sichuan Army Yang Sen's 27th Army Headquarters is also preparing to station in Pingjiang County. By then, I think this joint logistics headquarters will exist in name only." Zhang Tianhai gently rubbed his aching temples, not for any reason, but because the headquarters of the 27th Army was about to move into Pingjiang County.
In fact, in Zhang Tianhai's view, Pingjiang County is already operating at full capacity. Just the Ninth War Zone Guard Force Headquarters here is already a bit crowded. If the Japanese army bombs this place indiscriminately, it will definitely There will be heavy casualties.
"Commander, no matter what, the Sichuan Army is still the main force in the Pingjiang area. There are so many of them, and we only have a few troops here. If we are not in harmony with them, I think it will be difficult for us to defeat them with our strength. A full blow against the main force of the Japanese army that conquered the city." Zhou Fangjie looked solemn, rarely seen, because usually Zhang Tianhai can solve most things by himself, but now Zhang Tianhai is hesitant, and many things can only be proposed by him. Come and think.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Tianhai straightened his posture, put his hands on the table, and stared at Zhou Fangjie.
"If they must move to Pingjiang County, I propose to move the joint logistics headquarters to Huangsha Town. Only in this way can harmony and stability be maintained." Zhou Fangjie said seriously.
.
"Huangsha Town?" Zhang Tianhai hesitated for a moment. He naturally knew the location of this town. It was relatively close to Tongcheng and the transportation was relatively convenient. However, if the Japanese army wanted to attack, this place would definitely bear the brunt.
"Yes, it's Huangsha Town." Zhou Fangjie nodded and said, "Huangsha Town is close to the front line. If the battle starts, we can also use the complex terrain of Huangsha Town to delay the Japanese offensive momentum. The rest is We can rely on our friendly forces."
"Well... let me think about it again!" Zhang Tianhai slowly closed his eyes, looking like he was resting his mind.
"Okay, tell me when you decide!" Zhou Fangjie said and was about to walk out.
"That's right." Just when Zhou Fangjie was about to go out, Zhang Tianhai called out to him.
"Huh?" Zhou Fangjie turned his head.
"Inform Yang Sen and Wang Lingji! By the way, let them prepare for war!" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" After saying that, Zhou Fangjie went out and closed the door, leaving Zhang Tianhai alone to think independently.
Zhang Tianhai looked at the closed door and fell into deep thought...
To be honest, Zhang Tianhai is also annoyed, so why is he annoyed? In the face of a powerful enemy, it seems that his friendly forces are not particularly convinced of his little joint logistics commander.
However, it is understandable that for elders such as Yang Sen and Wang Lingji who have already become commander-in-chief and have reached the rank of lieutenant general, Zhang Tianhai, a small colonel, is really nothing.
At the same time, the main force of the Japanese Sixth Division as far away as Yueyang finally completed its final mobilization.
"Your Excellency, division commander, the troops have completed final mobilization. Please give the order!" The chief of staff stood next to the division commander Inaba Shiro, as if his face was sacred.
"Yoshi~~" Inaba Shiro nodded with great satisfaction. Then he turned his face and said very seriously: "Order the troops to set off at seven o'clock tomorrow and start operations quickly according to the established combat objectives! We must catch the China Army troops by surprise. , preventing the main force of the China Army from retreating and completing the set combat objectives!
"
"Hayin!
"The chief of staff was full of excitement. He stood at attention and lowered his head and said, as if victory was already in sight. The rabble in the Pingjiang area was no match for them at all!
