War of Resistance

Chapter 1257 Fighting the New Wall River ([-])
The artillery fire from the guard force of the Ninth War Zone has just stopped, and the No. 15 Army General Headquarters has just submitted Zhang Tianhai's previous inquiry telegram to Commander-in-Chief Guan Linzheng.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the theater guards called to inquire about the movements of the Japanese troops on the other side of our Xinqianghe position, and they were bombarded by a large number of Japanese artillery. According to their information, we can know that the Japanese troops have used nearly [-] artillery pieces. Bombard them! After the report is over, please give instructions." A lieutenant colonel walked up to Guan Linzheng and reported.

Guan Linzheng recognized the lieutenant colonel in front of him, and he also knew that he was a senior staff member of the general staff of the general headquarters, so he said: "Immediately return the movement of the Japanese army opposite our army to the guard."

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" The lieutenant colonel responded.

After the lieutenant colonel left, Guan Linzheng began to ponder: Is it true that this little Japan dispatched such a big battle just to fight Zhang Tianhai and his guards?This is too far-fetched, right?Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to achieve the expectation of completely annihilating the guard forces of the Ninth Theater.

Guan Linzheng really couldn't figure it out, but this matter was right in front of him, no matter how unreasonable it was, it had to be dealt with.

"Adjutant Xu, immediately send me an order to order the Second Army to send a regiment ready to support the theater guards at any time." Guan Linzheng immediately made a decision. No matter what, the theater guards belong to the camp of the Central Army. , I'm about to move my position.

What's more, isn't Zhang Tianhai Guan Linzheng's junior brother?If it is true that there is no way to save them, the brothers in Huangpu will be chilled?At that time, it will be difficult for him to be a big brother.

If the majesty of being a big brother is gone, how can he command this group of juniors from the Whampoa Department?Therefore, Guan Linzheng must save Zhang Tianhai and Zhang Tianhai's guards, both in public and in private!

Guan Linzheng roughly estimated the strength of the security forces in the theater, and thought that there would be no problem with this force being able to hold out for two days. At most, there might be a shortage of reserves. There is absolutely no problem when the regiment goes up to the top and stabilizes its position.

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Adjutant Xu replied beside him.

After making this decision, Guan Linzheng continued to look at the military map in front of him and study the battle strategy.

……

About half an hour later, Guan Linzheng finally learned of the movements of the Japanese troops on the front line.

"Report to the commander-in-chief. After verification by the front-line troops, a large number of Japanese troops appeared in front of our No.15 Army. They were basically distributed on the north bank of the Xinqiang River, but they did not cross the river! The report is over!" It was the lieutenant colonel who came in to report.

Guan Linzheng thought about it, and felt that the actions of the Japanese army were very abnormal-because only the guards in the theater fought, but the Japanese army in front of them approached the shore but did not move. Obviously they wanted to contain the strength of their No.15 Army.

"How many troops do they have?" Guan Linzheng asked.

"According to the reports from the front, no specific strength of the Japanese army was found, but what is certain is that the Japanese army dispatched three to four regiments. The report is over." The lieutenant colonel replied.

After hearing the lieutenant colonel's answer, Guan Linzheng nodded slightly, and then said: "Inform the security forces in the theater of this situation immediately! And add, if there is a crisis, be sure to call for help in time."

"Yes! Sir!" The lieutenant colonel responded. In front of people of Guan Linzheng's level, he is indeed not in a high position as a lieutenant colonel.

……

Looking at Zhang Tianhai, what's going on?
After the fierce shelling by the Japanese army, they did not continue the shelling, but stopped the shelling, and then ate breakfast with peace of mind.

At that time, regarding this situation, Zhang Tianhai keenly judged that the Japanese army must be waiting for reinforcements from the air force. In view of this, he immediately ordered the frontline troops to plant their red flags on the abandoned frontline positions. This proves that In spite of them, the National Army troops are still standing on the front line.

Of course, Zhang Tianhai asked them to plant at least ten flags on that piece of land—not for anything else, just to attract the Japanese aerial bombs and artillery shells, not to mention anything else, at least throwing them on the open ground is better than throwing them. It's good to come on the forehead of your own troops, and the next round of bombing by the Japanese army will definitely be very fierce. This wave of operations can at least reduce the casualties of more than 100 people.

Looking at the military flags fluttering on the abandoned position, Zhang Tianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief: it has finally been established.

So, will the effect really be like this?
……

That's right, the Japanese army was indeed bombing by the air force. They wanted to teach these "bumps" in the front line opposite what is carpet bombing.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Ushidoman's mouth—he had to make the opposite group of guys who made him feel ashamed yesterday pay the price, and it was a heavy price!

If he didn't see the raised flags on the opposite side, maybe Ushishima Man was not that happy. When he saw those raised flags, he knew that the enemy troops on the opposite side did not abandon their front-line positions. , look at the density of this flag, they have sent additional troops!
"Yoxi, our aviation unit will arrive in half an hour." Udo Island was full of excitement, "Mr. Xiaocang, pass me the order! Order the third unit, get ready to attack, the artillery unit, at any time Prepare to bombard enemy positions!"

"Hay!!" Staff Officer Ogura next to him responded, and immediately went to deliver Ushijima Mitsuru's order.

……

Things didn't go as planned by Niu Daoman, and their air force reached the sky over the Xinqiang River only 15 minutes later.

Hearing the roar of the plane flying in the distance, Ushido was full of excitement, and he said: "Burn, the will of the sunrise!!"

When the Japanese planes arrived, according to the scheduled plan, the artillery of the Sixth Division's southward column should start to move, so Man Ushishima was not worried at all!
……

The arrival of the Japanese aircraft was not hidden from Zhang Tianhai and others. Zhang Tianhai's former enemy headquarters was already in a relatively hidden location, so he simply walked out to observe.

"One, two, three, four... seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty!" Zhang Tianhai counted the Japanese planes flying over that day one by one, and at the end, he couldn't help but cursed.

It can't be blamed for Zhang Tianhai's lack of composure. This little devil's tactic obviously doesn't talk about Wu Dejia's use of a bull's knife to kill chickens... If he hadn't ordered the troops to prepare for emptying out, it would probably be troublesome!

The Japanese army used a brigade to attack their place, plus nearly [-] artillery pieces, and [-] planes. This is not to say that they can't be said to be worthy of their ninth war zone security force. This is simply regarded as a powerful force Deal with it!

"Damn it, doesn't this think highly of me, Mr. Zhang? In the battle of Xuzhou, the Jigu Division also used a reinforced brigade and many combat aircraft, but my place is not Taierzhuang. As for fighting so hard?" Zhang Tianhai took a breath.
