War of Resistance

Chapter 1078 Meeting Luo Zhuoying (55, please subscribe!)
As Zhang Zhihe, the magistrate of Yueyang County, said, the distance from Yueyang to Wuhan only takes one day, especially when the small steamer is already running at full power, it will be even faster.

At one o'clock in the morning on October 28, the [-]th year of the Republic of China, the main force of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone arrived at Hankou Wharf on the north bank of the Yangtze River and began to assemble.

Usually Wuhan is quiet at night, but at this time it is very busy, all supplies are rushing in and out of Wuhan, Wuchang Wharf is very busy, Zhang Tianhai lit a cigarette, looking at the busy wharf, he couldn’t help but It was a soft exclamation: "Things are people, but things are not things..."

It just so happened that Li Yinglun, the deputy head of the group who was passing by here, heard this sentence, and he walked over with a smile: "Head, why are you sighing so sadly at such a late hour?"

Suddenly, Li Yinglun came to his senses: "I'm sorry, I forgot, you are from Wuhan. Indeed, when the war comes to your hometown, no one will feel better."

"You're right, it's really uncomfortable. Because of this war, my family was displaced and had to leave this familiar city. The flames of war are destroying this city." Zhang Tianhai's face was full of melancholy, the new The emerging stubble added a touch of decadence to his image.

This is what Li Yinglun appreciates about Zhang Tianhai—no matter how decadent this guy looks now, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he will be like a different person, able to bring out the art of war to the extreme.

"Okay, let's accept the reality! My hometown has been burned by the flames of war." Li Yinglun patted Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Tianhai was slightly taken aback, and seemed to have figured it out: "It seems to be right, we can only accept the reality."

The reason why Zhang Tianhai didn't say anything else was because Li Yinglun was from Nanjing, and his hometown was destroyed by the war long ago, and a tragic massacre took place there!

From an emotional point of view, Li Yinglun absolutely hates the Japanese, but if he only hates without any actual action, it will be meaningless.

So, in an instant, Zhang Tianhai figured it out.

"Clean up! I'm going to report to Chief Luo tomorrow." Li Yinglun patted Zhang Tianhai's shoulder again and said, and then he left.

At this moment, a lieutenant officer ran to Zhang Tianhai, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the regiment, the people from the garrison headquarters are here and want to see you!"

After hearing this sentence, Zhang Tianhai immediately threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Take me to see you right away."

"Yes! Group seats!" The lieutenant stood at attention and saluted, and then took Zhang Tianhai to meet those people.

In the back area of ​​the pier, Zhang Tianhai finally met the personnel sent by the Wuhan Garrison Command to contact the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone.

Not many people came, only three officers and a platoon of guards.

The leader is a major general, who indeed looks relatively young, and should belong to the category of people who are still relatively inexperienced.

However, judging from the personnel sent by the Wuhan Garrison Command, Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoying still has high hopes for the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone, otherwise, he would not send a young general, a colonel is enough.

This is an obvious political signal!
After the major general saw Zhang Tianhai, he got off the car immediately, with a smile on his face: "You must be Zhang Tianhai, the head of the regiment, right?"

"Reporting sir, the humble position is Zhang Tianhai, the head of the first regiment of the Ninth War Zone Guard, please give me instructions!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted. No matter what, the other party is a major general, and his rank is one level higher than his own, so To salute.

This is the rule.

"Okay, I'm Fang Tian. I belong to the staff department of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and now I'm here to welcome you at Wuchang Wharf under the order of Chief Luo Zhuoying, the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison!" Fang Tian smiled, just like the one on the TV. The image of "Smiling Tiger".

Zhang Tianhai is not familiar with Fang Tian. After all, most of his understanding of the Republic of China is about war and some famous generals. If it is this faction, then he will find that there are also "Thirteen Taibao" in the Department of Civil Engineering, and it is not unique to the Northwest Army.

And this Fang Tian is impressively ranked first in the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Department of Civil Engineering!

Of course, the current Zhang Tianhai didn't know, so he just saluted, and then said, "Thank you, Officer Luo, for your kindness, and thank you, Officer Fang, too. I'll trouble you to come over in person in the middle of the night."

"We are all revolutionary soldiers, so of course you don't have to be polite. Get ready and follow me to see Chief Luo later." Fang Tian said straight to the point.

"Huh? It's so late, and you still go to see Chief Luo? Hasn't Chief Luo rested yet?" Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment that he had heard wrong, or had hallucinations.

Fang Tian nodded and said, "No, Commander Luo hasn't rested yet. He personally ordered me to meet him immediately after receiving you. He is waiting for you at the headquarters."

Going to see Luo Zhuoying so late shows that Luo Zhuoying is already very nervous, and the situation must be very serious.

What Zhang Tianhai didn't know was that during his busy two or three days, the Japanese army on the northern front had gained a firm foothold and began to advance towards Xuanhuadian and Sanli City. This was a strong signal for the Japanese army on the northern front to go south!

Zhang Tianhai nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, I will tidy up and explain the specific affairs, and then I will immediately follow Mr. Fang to meet Mr. Luo."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here!" Fang Tian nodded, "You can just follow my car. Now the people in Wuchang have been evacuated one after another, and the city is relatively chaotic. Remember to bring your guards. "

"Yes, sir. I understand the humble position." Zhang Tianhai nodded.

……

After explaining that the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of the guards had finished landing, they found a place to wait for orders. At the same time, Zhang Tianhai took the cavalry battalion with him, and then boarded Fang Tian's military jeep, and started to head to Chief Luo Zhuoying's garrison headquarters. .

In the dark night, the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters was brightly lit. Obviously, it was busy fighting to defend Wuhan. After all, this is the combat center for defending the city of Wuhan.

From the outside, the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters is not conspicuous. It is even just an ordinary western-style house with a big garden. Of course, it is convenient for parking.

The car stopped quickly, and the company of the cavalry battalion brought by Zhang Tianhai could only wait outside for Zhang Tianhai to come out. This is the rule of the Wuhan Garrison Command and must be followed.

"Let's go! Officer Luo is waiting for you up there." Fang Tian reminded Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai tidied up his appearance, and swept away his exhaustion after sitting on the boat for a day, and then followed Fang Tian into the core of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters.
