War of Resistance

Chapter 1218 The Battle with Dates ([-])

Ever since, under such circumstances, the theater guard headquarters in Sanjiang Town received Xue Yue's encrypted telegram.

"Duk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk."

There was another knock on the door of Zhang Tianhai's office. Zhang Tianhai, who was still full of headaches, had to raise his head and said, "Come in."

"Yes, sir!" Xu Xun replied at the door.

"Mr. Zhang, Commander Xue in the theater sent an urgent message." Xu Xun reported that for the officers and soldiers of the guards in the theater, Zhang Tianhai's title was not presumptuous. Those who belong to the real authority of the security forces, in order to distinguish other military department heads, the people below have taken the initiative to call this.

"Please read." Zhang Tianhai knew that anything involving Chief Xue was the top priority of the security forces.

"Here is the general headquarters of the theater security forces. With the outbreak of the battle on the Zaoyang line, the Japanese army is attacking the Zhongxiang, Suixian, and Zaoyang lines of our fifth theater along the two lines of the Pinghan Road with more than three divisions. It is hereby ordered Your department immediately made preparations for combat mobilization. Within three days, the North Vietnamese Xinqiang River formed an aggressive momentum against the Sixth Division stationed in the Yueyang area. Commander of the Ninth War Zone Acting Commander Xue Yue, May 28, [-] Urgent code at eleven o'clock in the morning." Xu Xun read, and then handed the file card to Zhang Tianhai.

After Zhang Tianhai read the contents of the document, he wrote a sentence of instructions on it: Order, all the guards in the theater are ready for combat mobilization.Relevant departments such as the former enemy headquarters, adjutant office, staff department, gendarmerie department, communications department, and logistics department are requested to perform their duties; each regiment and regiment headquarters conduct combat mobilization and wait for orders from the general headquarters.It is planned to be transferred to the various departments and regiments of the General Headquarters for implementation.Former enemy commander-in-chief Zhang Yulin said.

"Let's notify according to the instructions!" Zhang Tianhai said.

……

In just half a day, the war machine of the theater security force was in operation.

Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie, Li Yinglun, He Jiye, Chen Bing, Zhu Shaohong and the real power officers of the various troops have already taken their positions.

"Everyone, I believe the orders from above, have you all seen it? Now our theater guards are going to march northward, threatening the Japanese army on the Xinqiang River line. I believe you all know the strength of the Japanese Sixth Division, especially It was the last time that the enemy was able to tear a breakthrough in our encirclement after our army severely damaged their main force, which shows how fierce their combat effectiveness is. This time, our task is to advance, not necessarily to fight , but we must be ready to fight at any time. Now, I would like to hear your opinions." Zhang Tianhai stood in front of the military map, and lightly pointed to the location of "Yueyang" on the map. For him, commanding Combat, this is also one of his responsibilities as the commander in chief of the former enemy.

Li Yinglun, the chief of staff of the army, got up and said: "Commander, according to the deduction and calculation of our staff department, no matter how we look at it, we cannot avoid a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders. After leaving, the Japanese army on the north bank of the Xinqiang River also made a defensive adjustment. This time we are going northward when the enemy's situation is unknown. Force the main force of the Japanese army to enter the Xinqianghe line, and then achieve the battle that echoes Zhongxiang and Suixian. Commander-in-Chief, please think twice."

After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai looked at Zhou Fangjie and asked, "Adjutant Chief, what's your opinion?"

"Commander, my opinion is the same as that of the chief of staff. It is impossible for our army to advance northward without conflict with the Japanese army, but the entry point of our army is the most important thing in this operation." Zhou Fangjie stood up and said.

"Chief of staff, please briefly state the opinions of the staff department!" Zhang Tianhai's face was very serious. After all, the first Changsha battle was about to break out in three or four months. In this battle that may be wiped out at any time, this is definitely not in the interests of the security forces.

"Commander, considering that it is approaching the flood season and other reasons, my staff recommends that a battalion be stationed in Yuankou Town, but we need to create a movement of a division to station, so that the enemy can really pay attention to it, and it is best to fight For a while, let the enemy know that the main force of our guard force has crossed the Xinqiang River. Only in this way can the Japanese army truly mobilize troops to Yueyang. This is the opinion of our staff department." Li Yinglun said.

"Then follow the advice of the staff department! To achieve my goal, I decided to set off tonight and visit Guan Linzheng, the commander-in-chief of the No.15 Army Group overnight, and try to borrow their strength. In addition, the combat troops will start from the second guard. Choose from the regiment? What does the lieutenant think?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Zhou Fangjie, after all, the latter is not only the lieutenant, but also the head of the second security regiment.

"There is no problem with our second security regiment, so let's choose our first battalion! No matter what, the troops of the first battalion of our second security regiment are the most capable troops of our second regiment. It should be no problem to send them to Yukou Town Yes. In addition, I plan to go to the front line to command this battle, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to make a movement of a division with only one battalion." Zhou Fangjie said very seriously.

Zhang Tianhai looked at Zhou Fangjie and knew that the latter could be done, but he couldn't possibly surprise Zhou Fangjie, an old comrade-in-arms, so after thinking about it, he said, "A battalion needs to form a regiment." This is very difficult, how about this! The second regiment of your guards will go over one by one, so that you can show your skills. At least we set off, and we must have a force that can fight tough battles, otherwise we will not be able to achieve set objectives."

"We have no problem, Commander Xie!" Zhou Fangjie nodded very seriously.

Now that he has decided to invest nearly so many troops, Zhang Tianhai is even more determined to go to Guan Linzheng's headquarters. After all, if there is a war, the theater guards will definitely not be able to withstand it. He cannot live up to Commander-in-Chief Wu's expectations. , severely injured the security forces in the theater.

"Then let's make it so! In addition, the artillery battalion of our first security regiment will also be temporarily used by your regiment! You must ensure the safety of the artillery battalion. In addition, our first security regiment will also send a special agent company to deal with it in advance. Reconnaissance of the enemy's situation in the Yuankou Town area in advance. I hope you can successfully complete the task." Zhang Tianhai said very seriously.

"Don't worry! We will complete the task." Zhou Fangjie nodded.
