"Commander-in-Chief, you don't have to worry. There won't be any problems with the Commander-in-Chief. This battle must be fought well, otherwise I won't be able to say anything from the Commander-in-Chief." Zhou Fangjie waved his hand and said very proudly. cut
"Yes! Group seats!" Liu Ziqi stood at attention and saluted.
As for the outcome of this battle, Zhou Fangjie didn't care at all. According to the established plan, as long as their theater security forces could withstand the first battle, the rest would be left to the Sichuan Army. They didn't believe it. How could the Sichuan Army of the two armies withstand the attack of the 33rd Division, a third-rate Japanese force, for at least five days?
Five days is enough time to do a lot of things.
For example, the theater guard troops completed the rear route insertion; another example is that the Eighth Army of the Central Army closest to Pingjiang completed the reinforcement encirclement.
Yes, Zhang Tianhai's vision is naturally very sophisticated - if they participate in the battle with the Sixth Division, they will not be able to take advantage of it. After all, the Sixth Division is the protagonist of this Changsha battle. Not only is their combat effectiveness They were strong and moved very quickly. More importantly, they were personally commanded by Okamura Neiji, the commander of the Eleventh Army, in this battle. He not only drew up the plan personally, but also flew to the front line to personally inspect the battle situation. If not, the Sixth Division would not have evacuated so quickly in history.
It is not Zhang Tianhai's style to go head-to-head with an established division like the Sixth Division, and the Pingjiang area is their main battlefield. If there is a problem in the Pingjiang area, Chairman Chiang knows that Zhang Tianhai can fight , that will definitely kill his head - even Long Muhan from Huangpu Phase 1 could be shot, let alone him, a small shrimp from Huangpu Phase 7, who is far away from those big players from Huangpu Phase 7. The status of the boss is still too far away, at least those people are the real ones!
In fact, this is indeed the case. The "Ning-Han Diversion" incident that occurred in the fifth phase of Huangpu means that the bosses of the first four phases of Huangpu are the real direct descendants, and they are rarely reused after the fifth phase of Huangpu. Of course, they must Except for Dai Li and other die-hard elements who have proven through practical actions that they are die-hard loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. cut
Unknowingly, there were some cracks in the "Three Musketeers" combination of Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, and Li Yinglun - Zhang Tianhai wanted to go to war, Zhou Fangjie wanted to expand the army, and Li Yinglun wanted to be transferred.
However, in general, Zhou Fangjie wanted to expand the size of the Second Guard Regiment, but he still wanted to win the battle in front of him: as long as he could deal with the little Japan in front of him, everything would be easy to deal with, let alone him. It can also be seen that Zhang Tianhai seems to have the idea of strengthening the Second Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment.
Unlike the First Guard Regiment, which built its positions along the route, and the Third Guard Regiment, which built its positions in Huangsha Town as its main position, the Second Guard Regiment's main position was in an open area along the second line of the Huangsha River. The advantage is that The troops can be pushed aside, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, they may face bombing by Japanese aircraft.
There is no way, this is the helplessness of the main position, this line of defense is to buy time for the Sichuan army!
On the huge Pingjiang battlefield, the position of the Second Guard Regiment is very important, and it is also the position that blocks the sword for the entire army!
…
Time passed bit by bit, and Zhang Tianhai finally arrived at the position of the First Guard Regiment in the evening. cut
Looking at Guo Qiliang with a tired face, Zhang Tianhai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Guo."
"It's nothing. Aren't we just preparing cakes and wine for the little devils now? When they come, we will give them a drink." Guo Qiliang grinned and looked very happy.
"They must drink well, otherwise they will not send weapons and equipment to our troops." Zhang Tianhai smiled softly.
"It must be necessary. With the firepower of our First Guard Regiment, it should be easy to annihilate one of them." Guo Qiliang scratched his head. Indeed, with the current weapons and equipment of the First Guard Regiment, it is indeed not difficult.
"Don't be too happy too soon. I'm telling you, after the fighting starts, I will take away the artillery battalion, I will also detain the cavalry battalion, and the secret service company will also be sent out. What you have in your hands now You don’t have many chips, so don’t underestimate your opponent while playing.”
"Don't worry while I'm doing the work! Even if those battalions are removed, don't I still have six infantry battalions plus the troops directly under the regiment? It should still be possible to beat them, mainly because they have It's not a matter of mental arithmetic." Guo Qiliang assured, patting his chest very excitedly.
"It's good to have this confidence. It is estimated that there will be a war tomorrow. Let the brothers work more overtime! It is better to work harder on the fortifications than to bleed and lose lives on the battlefield." Zhang Tianhai said. cut
"You can just rest assured and get it over with! You are very happy as the leader of the swaggering regiment. You rarely interfere with the troops. I have not been idle during this period. Regarding the battle of these six infantry battalions, I am It has been strengthened in a targeted manner." Guo Qiliang said sarcastically to Zhang Tianhai.
"Oh? How to do targeted methods?" Zhang Tianhai suddenly became interested. After all, he was too addicted to "Gentle Township" some time ago.
"How else can we target the method? Of course we need to strengthen the positional warfare method. As the strength of our army is constantly decreasing, if we continue to fight offensive warfare as before, we will be under great pressure. But if we use our With the current level of weapons and equipment, we must first engage in positional warfare to continuously accumulate veterans, and only when the proportion of veterans reaches a certain level can the combat effectiveness be restored." Guo Qiliang followed the guidance and explained very patiently.
"Lao Guo, your idea is very good and deserves recognition. Anyway, I am basically doing the work of the commander-in-chief now. You have to take more care of the affairs of the regiment. The affairs of the entire army are indeed too numerous. So I can't take care of it." Zhang Tianhai blushed. After all, he rarely told lies with his eyes open, so he was thin-skinned...
"It's okay, it's okay. I will take care of the affairs in the regiment. Just be busy presiding over the overall work of the entire army." Guo Qiliang said with a smile.
Seeing Guo Qiliang like this, Zhang Tianhai asked curiously: "Old Guo, I asked you to command this battle, why didn't you ask me why I took away the artillery camp and held it captive?" The cavalry battalion is not allowed to go into battle?"
I saw Guo Qiliang saying rather embarrassedly: "Actually, I can probably guess it, but I am embarrassed to say it, for fear that you will lose face. In short, if you want to do this, you have your own reasons. Some things, if If you tell the truth, it won't be fun, right?"
