War of Resistance

Chapter 1079 Hankou Garrison Commander (15)

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Fang Tian knocked on the door of Luo Zhuoying's office, and said, "Mr. Luo, Fang Tian, ​​who is a low-ranking officer, has received Zhang Tianhai and Commander Zhang. Now I report to you."

Luo Zhuoying's office is on the third floor of this small bungalow. According to the standards of this era, the decoration here is quite luxurious, in a typical Western style.

"Come in!" A steady voice came from inside, with some Cantonese accent.

"Yeah~~"

Fang Tian pushed open the door, stepped aside, and said to Zhang Tianhai, "Go in! Captain Zhang."

Zhang Tianhai nodded, walked in with strides, stood at attention and saluted the only lieutenant general in the office, "Reporting sir, Zhang Tianhai, head of the first regiment of the guards of the humble ninth war zone, has been ordered to report to you!"

"Okay... I came out after a thousand calls, from Wanjialing to Yueyang, and then from Yueyang to Wuhan, this journey is not easy." Luo Zhuoying turned around and smiled.

I saw that Luo Zhuoying's height is not considered tall, only about 1.7 meters zero. He has a very simple and honest face, and he wears a pair of wide glasses. Belittle the chief: You can’t be judged by appearances. Since Luo Zhuoying can gain the respect of Chen Cheng and Chiang Kai-shek, it must be due to his uniqueness, especially since he has already served as the commander-in-chief of the group army. Not a simple character.

"It's all thanks to the strong support of the chief, otherwise the first regiment of the security guards would not be able to rush back to Wuhan in a short time." Zhang Tianhai said bluntly, without the strong support from Luo Zhuoying and Chen Cheng behind, the military training alone would have been enough. It has been a headache for him for a long time, let alone rushing back to Wuhan.

"Very good, young man, you should be so humble." Luo Zhuoying nodded, and praised, "I remember you typed a report yesterday, there is still a shortage of more than 800 troops, right? "

"Yes, sir. In the battle of Wanjialing, although the Humble Division achieved a brilliant record of annihilating more than 4000 enemies, the Humble Division also suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the fact that the Humble Division was a strengthened regiment, I'm afraid it would have died long ago." It is." Zhang Tianhai also said unceremoniously, complaining to the leader reasonably is not a bad thing in itself, on the contrary, it is not necessarily possible to get the support of the leader.

"In war, it's normal to have losses. It's rare that you can win a battle without being arrogant or discouraged. You are very good. In the battle in Lanfeng, I would rather bear the responsibility of losing Lanfeng County. I don't want the little devil's progress to go smoothly. Your boy's will to resist the Japanese is very strong..." Luo Zhuoying smiled, as if making a routine.

"The humble job is a Chinese soldier, and he must fight for the independence and self-improvement of the country and the nation. Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, and they should also take defending the country as their lifelong mission. They are worthy of the cultivation of the party and the country!" Zhang Tianhai said solemnly, Facing an officer of Luo Zhuoying's level, he also had to show some determination.

"Okay, now that the Japanese army is gradually approaching Wuhan, it is the time when you patriotic soldiers are needed. To be honest, our Wuhan Garrison Command currently does not have any troops. The first guard regiment counts as one, and the second guard regiment That counts as one, and speaking of it, you and Zhou Fangjie, the head of the second guard regiment, are old comrades in arms, right?" Luo Zhuoying asked, and he was straightforward, straight to the point and explained the current situation.

"That's right, Humble Job and Captain Zhou both broke out together in Nanjing, and they are indeed old comrades in arms." Zhang Tianhai nodded without denying it.

"That's the best." Luo Zhuoying looked at Zhang Tianhai with a very serious expression, "Now Wuhan has a small number of troops, and the external enemy forces are strong. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Fangjie's second regiment of guards in the ninth war zone will be promoted. In order to strengthen the regiment and make corresponding supplements. Of course, to replenish the troops and firearms and ammunition, your first guard regiment is also indispensable. After you are stationed in, I will send someone to send the supplies you want, including troops and Guns and ammunition."

"Thank you, sir, for your love!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention very excitedly and saluted. After all, the First Corps had given some supplements before, but it couldn't compare to the consumption of the frontline troops.

"Don't thank me, this is what I should do. I can't do such things as wanting the horse and not feeding the horse." Luo Zhuoying waved her hand and said, she was very sincere, "Tomorrow Just make a note and hand it over to Director Fang Tianfang. In addition, I am going to appoint you as the commander of the Hankou garrison and lead the first guard regiment to be responsible for the defense of Hankou; I will appoint Zhou Fangjie as the commander of the Hanyang garrison and lead the second guard. The regiment is responsible for the defense of Hanyang; and then a brigade commander of the [-]th Division is the commander of the Wuchang garrison, leading the brigade to be responsible for the defense of Wuchang."

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir! I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the chief, and defend Hankou with all my strength!" Zhang Tianhai straightened his back again and promised.

It has to be said that Luo Zhuoying, the chief, has done quite well. In just a few words, Zhang Tianhai has been informed of the entire defense plan of Wuhan in general, and it is particularly targeted.

"Hankou and Hanyang are adjacent, and both are on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and you and Zhou Fangjie are old comrades-in-arms. It would be relatively better to have direct control of your theater guards, but your defense zone is the closest to the front line, so you have to pay special attention. Wuchang, south of the Yangtze River, will be in charge of the [-]th Division, so you don’t have to worry about that,” Luo Zhuoying said.

Before Zhang Tianhai could respond, Luo Zhuoying continued: "Your first security regiment is an old-fashioned strong regiment. I feel relieved that you will guard Hankou. As for the second security regiment, you need to talk to Commander Zhou a lot. After all, your defense area is adjacent, and if there is any problem here in Hankou, you still need the support of the second guard regiment."

"Understood, thank you sir for your guidance." Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted.

"Okay. It's getting late now, and now your task is not light. You go back, and immediately stationed in the Hankou security area. I have already asked other troops to clean up your camp, so you can just station it." Luo Zhuoying Stern way.

I have to say that Luo Zhuoying's way of doing things is quite good, basically it can be said that the service is quite in place, how can there be troops who can move in with their bags as soon as they arrive?Zhang Tianhai is quite satisfied...

In order for these people under him to exert their maximum combat effectiveness, Luo Zhuoying has already done everything he can - the iron hooves of the Japanese army are gradually approaching, if everything is not prepared, there may be big troubles.

"Thank you, sir! I will execute the humble post immediately, and I promise to complete the task!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.

Just when Zhang Tianhai was about to leave, Luo Zhuoying stopped him and said, "Head Zhang, wait outside for a while! By the way, go to the next door and call Director Fang Tianfang for me!"

"Yes, sir." After speaking, Zhang Tianhai walked out.

After calling Fang Tian, ​​Zhang Tianhai's head became active. He felt that he should go to Zhou Fangjie for a drink. After all, they are now the leaders of the reinforced regiment, and they are guarding Wuhan together!
