War of Resistance

Chapter 1219 The Battle with Jujube ([-])

After arranging a series of tasks, Zhang Tianhai finally relaxed his frown.

According to the resolution plan of the meeting between Zhang Tianhai and everyone, the Second Guard Regiment and the Artillery Battalion of the First Guard Regiment will march northward to Yukou Town; The battalion is a strategic support force, supporting the defense of the south bank of the Xinqiang River at any time; the [-]nd, [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th battalions of the [-]st Guards Regiment, together with the [-]rd Guards Regiment, all entered the defense area behind the [-]st Battalion of the [-]st Guards Regiment on the south bank of the Xinqiang River Arrange the pocket array; the fourth battalion of the first guard regiment and the new guard battalion are the reserve team.

Of course, the troops did not take action until two days later. Before that, the special agent company of the First Guard Regiment had to conduct reconnaissance on the Yankou Town on the north bank of the Xinqiang River.

It has to be said that this action is daring. It is a vain attempt to eat up the possible advancing part of the enemy army with this small number of people. If it is not handled well, the entire guard force may not be able to escape.

I forgot to mention that the Fourth Battalion of the First Guard Regiment has been fully staffed and restored to its original establishment after Commander-in-Chief Wu Yizhi Wu reported to the Commander-in-Chief of the Theater Command, and the new battalion can also exist as a supplementary battalion.

In addition to formulating a combat plan, Zhang Tianhai also decided to report this combat operation to the No.15 Group Army. After all, this is playing with fire. The Japanese Sixth Division is not a troop to be trifled with, and it can even be said to be a fierce tiger. , Although it was because they were careless before that they took out eggs, but it does not mean that it is their real level of combat power.

Zhang Tianhai set off with a company of guards at three o'clock in the morning that night, and the target was Taolin Temple, the headquarters of the No.15 Army Group.

It must be explained here that Wu Yizhi has the rank of lieutenant general, and his assumption of the post of commander-in-chief of the security forces of the ninth theater means that the commander-in-chief of the security forces of the ninth theater is a division-level unit. In addition to the relevant functional departments, the headquarters of the guard force is also equipped with a guard battalion. According to the practice of the national army, division-level units are generally equipped with a guard battalion.

……

At [-] o'clock on May [-]rd, Zhang Tianhai arrived at Taolin Temple.

At this time, the area around Changshoudian (now Changshou Town) to the north of Zhongxiang had entered a fierce battle. The troops responsible for guarding Changshoudian were the No. 30 Seventh Division and the 30th Division of the No. [-] Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army. one part.

"Shh~~~Boom!!!"

"Shh~~~Boom!!!"

"Shh~~~Boom!!!"

……

One after another shells were fired from the Japanese army's position, leaving behind dazzling white lights across the sky, and then slammed into the Changshou shop owner's position.

At this time, half of the outer positions of Changshoudian have fallen into the enemy's hands, and the main position of Changshoudian has become the focus of the battlefield.

Chai Jianchang, the commander of the No.30 Seventh Division, is very anxious. After all, the No.30 Seventh Division is the main force guarding Changshoudian. Liu Zhensan, the commander of the [-]th Division, sent a regiment to support the Changshoudian. All the troops that can be mobilized have been mobilized, and this last reserve team is left unused.

Chai Jianchang, as the backbone of the middle level of the Northwest Army, is the confidant of Feng Zhian, commander of the No.70 Seventh Army and former chairman of the HEB Provincial Government. This task was ordered by Feng Zhian, let alone Zhang Zizhong, the commander-in-chief It is also very important.

As the main force that experienced the "July 70th Incident", the No.[-] Seventh Army's subordinates are all motivated to wash away their grievances. They want to tell the whole world that they fought when they were in Beiping , It's not that I don't fight, but I can't hold it!
The No.30 Third Army has three armies under its jurisdiction, namely the Ninth Army of Zhang Zizhong, the Fifth Army of Cao Fulin, and the Seventh Army of Feng Zhi'an No.70. The army experienced the "July 70th Incident", and Cao Fulin's Fifth Army was rowed over by the original Han Fuqu's Third Army.

In a small village five kilometers north of Changshoudian, in a small house on the north side of the village, some soldiers in gray and blue uniforms came and went. This is the headquarters of the No.30 Seventh Division.

"Master, Changshou Store is hard to defend." Chief of Staff Li Jixing said with a bitter face.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, even if we wipe out our No.30 Seventh Division! You must do your best!" Chai Jianchang looked very annoyed, and there was nothing he could do. Fight bravely with enemies who have aircraft and cannons.

It would be fine to say that these enemies are fighting in an upright manner, but these enemies are very insidious. In order to win positions, they will not hesitate to use chemical weapons, such as gas bombs.

"Master, my humble suggestion is that it is necessary to report the situation of the Changshou Store to the commander." Li Jixing said with a bitter face. After all, the master is too strong, and he can't say anything about many things.

"No need, the troops of our two divisions are guarding this line of defense. If we lose everything in just three days, what face do we have to see Commander Feng? What face do we have to see Commander-in-Chief Zhang? Don't forget Commander-in-Chief Zhang once said that those who do not obey orders and abandon their positions without authorization will be dealt with by military law!" Chai Jianchang had a cold face, although he was only 39 years old this year, he was one of the many division-level officers in the Northwest Army. , he is already the best.

"Yes, sir!" Seeing that Master Chai has made up his mind, he is not too good to say too much. After all, the decision-making power in wartime is in the hands of the commander, not in the hands of a small chief of staff.

Chai Jianchang looks a little old. Although he is only 39 years old, he looks like a 45-year-old. Perhaps it is because of his early military career that he suffered too much suffering, which made him look older. .

As an active responder to the "April Offensive", Chai Jianchang had long anticipated the day when the Japanese army would counterattack, so he ordered the troops to build fortifications early on. Unexpectedly, it took only three days. He painstakingly set up The defensive position of the Japanese army was flattened all the way.

Yes, in the hands of the national army, which is very scarce in materials, there are no decent fortifications at all. They can only use the existing resources such as terrain and terrain to build fortifications. Even the Central Army does not have many good materials, let alone the northwest The army is here.

It's not that Commander Chai doesn't want to ask for help, it's that they are only a first-line position here, and they must buy time for the main force in the theater behind. Liu Zhensan's [-]th Division originally had other missions, and they can send a regiment Supporting them is already very good, so he can only support it if he can, and there is nothing he can do if he can't!
"Hey, that's all. Let's fight!" A trace of determination flashed across Chai Jianzhang's face. For him, he was already mentally prepared to return the shrouded body in horse leather!

……

On the other side, Hunan, Taolin Temple on the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

As the head office of a group army, Taolin Temple must be heavily guarded, but Zhang Tianhai, who is also a frequent visitor to the No.15 Group Army, is naturally unimpeded. Came to the headquarters.

It was also here that Zhang Tianhai finally met Guan Linzheng whom he had been longing for.
