War of Resistance

Chapter 116
After Zhang Tianhai's order was issued, except for the third company fighting in the front line, the first company and the second company had all assembled.

"Report to the battalion commander, the company has assembled!" Li Chunfei reported loudly.

"Report to the battalion commander, the second company has assembled!" It was Xu Sangou, the acting company commander of the second company who spoke at this time.

Zhang Tianhai glanced at the officers and soldiers below, and said loudly: "I will announce our combat mission now. In this battle, in addition to holding on to our current position, we also need to buy time for the large troops to retreat!"

As soon as Zhang Tianhai's words came out, there was a lot of discussion among the audience.

"What? Is it going to be withdrawn? Is this Shanghai going to be lost?"

"No way? The hundreds of thousands of our national army have been fighting for more than two months, so we just withdraw?"

"Didn't the chairman say that he would live and die with Shanghai?"

……

Hearing these twittering discussions, Zhang Tianhai couldn't restrain his anger at once, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?! Do you still look like a soldier now?! Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, do you understand? ?!"

Seeing that the officer was angry, the chattering voices were quieted down. After all, military discipline is very strict at this time.

The military discipline in the period of the Republic of China was not as loose as that shown in later film and television dramas. On the contrary, it was very strict. Anyone who begged for something from the common people as a soldier would be dealt with by military law (note: the military law mentioned here is shooting) .

"One by one, look at your own appearance, what is it like? This is a vegetable market, let you bargain here? Let me tell you, as a soldier, you should act like a soldier to me Yes, we are temporarily retreating, but did we say that we would give up Shanghai?! Let me tell you, if anyone beats up the little devil and drags his legs, I will chop off his big head and small head together!" Zhang Tianhai widened his eyes angrily and said.

Zhang Tianhai looked stern when he said this, who dares to make fun of his own head?If you dare to retreat, then the words of the battalion commander are definitely not a joke!

There was a sudden silence all around, like a chilling cicada.

Seeing the frightened faces of these big soldiers, Zhang Tianhai calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, I will not leave when you are fighting. Please remember, You are now soldiers of the 30st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Brigade of the No. [-] Sixth Division of the National Revolutionary Army, and I am your battalion commander. As long as the [-]st Battalion is still alive, I will fight life and death with you. Please, everyone.”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianhai gave a military salute solemnly.

After that, arms stood like forests on the field, which was a solemn military salute.

To die together is easy to say, but difficult to do.Throughout the ages, there have been many officers who left their soldiers and ran away, but no one would believe what Zhang Tianhai said—from the beginning of beating devils, has anyone seen the battalion commander take a step back?Did the battalion commander ever counsel you when you were fighting devils?
Everything means that Battalion Commander Zhang will not be a deserter. If possible, he can win the War of Resistance on this battlefield!
Then Zhang Tianhai issued a combat order: Except for the third company, the whole battalion must fight until two hours later, and the third company will be in the rear when it retreats.

It was not only the [-]th Regiment that received the retreat order, but also the [-]th Regiment next to it.

After receiving the order to retreat, Xiong Xinmin decisively ordered the second battalion under him to be in charge of the rear, and then retreated with the first and third battalions.

The rapid retreat of the [-]th Regiment was not good news for the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment: at least the flanks were in danger of being exposed to the enemy's guns at any time.

Just as the [-] Regiment was retreating, a skinny big-headed soldier ran into Zhang Tianhai's battalion headquarters, panting and said: "Battle Commander, just now... just now the [-] Regiment sent someone to tell us , Now the main force of the [-] regiment has begun to retreat, and their second battalion is in charge of the rear."

"I see." Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly, seemingly relaxed and calm, but he was not.

The defense area of ​​the [-]th Regiment is almost twice that of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment. In addition, its strategic location is a key point, and it is the key attack target of the Japanese army. It is unbearable to use a main force regiment to defend here. Hold on, there is only one battalion stationed now, facing the wolf-like Japanese army, Zhang Tianhai can't help but not worry.

"Let's go, go to the defense zone of the [-]th Regiment." Zhang Tianhai said to the guards around him.

"Yes, sir." The guard replied.

The guard's name was Liu Houming, and he was tall and thick. It was said that he was the descendant of Nanquan Hongjiaquan.

Liu Houming served as Zhang Tianhai's guard after Wei He Zhiqian. He came from Fujian and was a soldier from the Fujian Security Regiment to support the front line.

The miserable state of the 13th Regiment's position was even worse than that of the 11th Regiment's position. After all, this place was one of the most visited by the Japanese army.Since the No.[-] Division of the enemy's new force took over the tasks of the enemy's No.[-] Division, it launched a large-scale and high-intensity attack, and the situation was once very critical.

Enemy No.13 Division Division Headquarters.

The head of the division, Dizhou Libing, stood in front of the large military map. His expression was very dignified, and he was not at all relaxed: the tenacity of the Chinese army on the opposite side was simply beyond his imagination. , Is this still the Chinese army that was defeated again and again in the North China battlefield?

Unlike Zongwu Yamamuro, Dizhou Libing did not underestimate his opponents this time - the 22rd Wing and the 43th Wing, the main force of the 44nd Brigade, have taken turns to attack the enemy's positions for more than a month, let alone him. Here is also a touch of gray this thing.

Dizhou Libing graduated from the No.17 period of the Japanese Lu Shi. He was famous for his cautious temperament when he was in the military academy.

"Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to order the troops to attack again?" Chief of Staff Aichixin asked.

"Don't worry, the enemy we are facing this time is not the Chinese motley army in the North China Plain. We are fighting with the trump card of the Chinese army, the No. 30 Sixth Division from the National Guard." Dizhou Libing looked Jun Leng, as can be seen from his knife-like outline, he was a handsome guy when he was young.

"Hay, the head of the division is wise." Ai Zhixin lowered his head and said flatteringly.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army is different from the chief of staff of the national army.Why is it different?In addition to status, there are more differences in functions. The chief of staff of the Japanese army tends to be a symbolic existence. Most of the chiefs of staff of various divisions or brigades are served by relatives of the emperor. Er is equivalent to the meaning of supervising the army in the ancient Chinese army.
