War of Resistance

Chapter 1192 Angry Inaba Shiro
Why this strong premonition?That was because Zhang Tianhai already knew his position in the hearts of the officers.

The position of former enemy commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone Security Force seems to be a temporary position, but if you analyze it from the perspective of officialdom, it is a transitional position-as long as Zhang Tianhai is in the fifth phase of Whampoa or before the fifth phase, he He is the lieutenant general commander of the theater security force.

Zhang Tianhai also understands that because he belongs to the seventh phase of Whampoa, in terms of his qualifications, he can't take that position so quickly. If he has to be the commander of the guard force in the theater, he may be the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the theater. Luo Zhuoying or Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the former enemy general headquarters in the theater, will serve concurrently.

Why did Zhang Tianhai think of Wu Yizhi?The reason is very simple, because Wu Yizhi has been Xue Yue's chief of staff all the way, and this time he was appointed as Luo Zhuoying's chief of staff is just a transitional period - after all, Lao Jiang asked Xue Yue to take the position of commander-in-chief of the ninth war zone, but he didn't want to. Xue Yue, the "tiger boy", won the battle, and the victory of Wanjialing was also due to Wu Yizhi's contribution?
To sum up, Zhang Tianhai still thinks that Wu Yizhi is very likely to take up the post of the commander of the security force of the Ninth War Zone. As for the management of specific affairs, it is estimated that he, the former commander in chief of the enemy, will not be able to escape.

"Sir, retreat! The troops have almost cleaned up the front." Xu Xun ran back and reported.

"Then let's go!" Zhang Tianhai nodded, then turned and left.

Perhaps it was because of the war for a long time, Zhang Tianhai's heart was already a little numb, and the many brothers who died in front of him made him feel only a little sad in his heart—maybe, this is the fate of soldiers. On the battlefield, one should be prepared not to go back.

Maybe... one day, I might not be able to go back on the battlefield!Zhang Tianhai sighed secretly in his heart.

Thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Tianhai was still thinking about how to make up for the losses of the fourth battalion. After all, other troops in his own army also suffered a lot of losses. Could it be that he really needed to send a group of soldiers from the fifth and sixth battalions to come up again? , and then supplement the empty staff of the fifth and sixth battalions from the commander-in-chief's department?
Zhang Tianhai thought over and over again, and felt that this was not very reasonable, so he could only think of recruiting officers from other troops to supplement the Fourth Battalion. For ordinary soldiers, he should get it from the commander's department!
……

Generally speaking, the retreat was quite smooth. Under the strict order of Li Yinglun, the Chief Counselor of the Theater Guard Force, the logistics force quickly and temporarily built three pontoon bridges, which allowed the retreating troops to quickly cross the Xinqiang River and then go to Sanjiang Town. direction to retreat.

Three hours later, Zhang Tianhai finally arrived at the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

After arriving at the south bank of the Xinqiang River, Zhang Tianhai said to Xu Xun beside him: "Xiao Xu, immediately call Commander Guan Linzheng, Commander-in-Chief of the No.15 Group Army, and tell him that our troops have safely withdrawn to the south bank of the Xinqiang River and wiped out the Japanese No. .40 Headquarters of the fifth regiment! The flag of the regiment is already on me!"

"Yes! Sir!!" Xu Xun responded.

As for why Zhang Tianhai sent a telegram to Guan Linzheng at this time, the reason is actually very simple. It is because Zhang Tianhai told them the news too early, and Guan Linzheng would not send troops to save him by then, which would be troublesome.

Zhang Tianhai didn't know that he thought so, but it was indeed narrow-minded.Why do you say that?Because he and Guan Linzheng came from the same school, both graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and the troops they led were all elites in the Central Army. Based on this alone, Guan Linzheng would not die without help, and he did not offend Guan Linzheng.

At this moment, the vanguard of the Japanese army finally arrived at Yunkou Town.

Seeing the mess all over the ground and the destroyed Yuenkou Town, the commander of the Japanese army couldn't help but take a deep breath: How much artillery did these damn Chinese troops use to blow up such a town to such an extent? look like?

Naikamaru Rokuro stood at the position of Zhang Tianhai just now and looked at everything in front of him. Apart from being shocked, he was shocked: He didn't understand how many elites the Chinese army had mobilized to join the No.40 Fifth Regiment until they couldn't even pay back. , the whole army was wiped out.

"Immediately send a signal to inform your Excellency, Captain, that our brigade has arrived at the forward position of Yukou Town, and our troops (referring to the No.40 Fifth Regiment) have been completely wiped out." Naikamaru Rokuro said in a deep voice.

"Hay!!" The staff officer next to him responded.

In addition to conveying this order, Naikamaru Rokuro also issued an order, which is to find survivors, and only by finding survivors can we know what happened in this battle.

After the news reached No.40 Seventh Regiment's captain, the captain also made a very correct decision, that is, to report the situation step by step, first of all, to report to the brigade commander, Major General Ushishima Man.

Once the news that No.40 Fifth Regiment was annihilated overnight, it almost alarmed the senior management of the entire Japanese Sixth Division—if it wasn't for this news, it came from the frontline troops, and they would almost think it was a fake news.

"Nani?! One of our elite regiments was so easily wiped out by the Chinese army on the front line! What did Xiongwu Masaoro do? Let such an elite regiment of ours be defeated by the Chinese army in such a short period of time! Annihilation of the troops! What is this for? What is this for!!" The angry Inaba Shiro yelled, making the major in front of him a little at a loss.

"Your Excellency, General... Commander Xiong Wuzhenglang has also been 'broken'. According to the report, judging from the situation at the scene, they have experienced fierce battles. Even the entire town of Yuankou was destroyed by the Chinese army. By the way...according to The information from the aviation unit before said that the two planes on their side had encountered strong anti-aircraft fire from the enemy. Even one plane had crashed and crashed!" Major Zuo smiled wryly, but to be honest, he also I don't want to tell the truth at this time. After all, the officer is so angry now, if he gets a big slap, it will be a big loss.

But fortunately, Inaba Shiro was not as angry as he imagined. Although he was already extremely angry, he did not reach the level of losing his mind—because he knew that he could not lose his mind at this moment, and the enemy could kill him so quickly. Annihilation of one's own troops means that they are powerful. Judging from all signs, this enemy army is a vicious hungry wolf, and it will bite your throat as long as there is a chance.
