War of Resistance

Chapter 1267 Evacuation
In the end, Commander-in-Chief Wu Yizhi Wu issued an order for the theater guards to retreat.

Of course, if Wu Yizhi wanted to make such a big move, he would definitely ask Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth War Zone, for instructions.

In fact, Xue Yue was quite satisfied with Zhang Tianhai's performance.

Back to an hour ago, the headquarters of the Lushan Cadre Training Corps.

"Reporting to the Chief of Education, the Ninth War Zone Security Force Headquarters is calling." A lieutenant colonel strode up to Wu Yizhi and reported.

After hearing the words, Wu Yizhi smiled wryly, and then said softly: "Look, here comes the person responsible."

"Where did the chief come from? What do you mean by 'seeking the blame'?" The lieutenant colonel was a little puzzled.

"Hey, Chief Xue and Chairman both insisted on asking me to be the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone Security Force. Don't you know the way during this period? If the chief really wants me to be the commander-in-chief, there is no need to let me be the commander-in-chief at all." I also serve as the director of education of the Lushan Cadre Training Corps, and let me focus on Lushan. Obviously, the higher-ups don’t want to hand over this army to me, so they want me, the commander-in-chief, to take responsibility Ah..." The smile on Wu Yizhi's face was very bitter, if the lieutenant colonel in front of him hadn't been his confidant trained by himself, he would never have said such a thing.

"Educator is wise, your thoughts are worthy of continuous learning..." Lieutenant Colonel said with a smile, the compliment in his words was clearly on the surface.

"You don't need to flatter. All in all, we need to see clearly our position. We have worked hard all our lives, and it is not easy to get to where we are now. If there is a slight mistake, we will be lost forever." Wu Yizhi's tone still sounded very serious , but the smile on his face betrayed him, he is very useful for this flattery...

"Yes. Chief Education Officer." The lieutenant colonel stood at attention and saluted. He was Wu Yizhi's adjutant, and to put it bluntly, he was the secretary.

After reading the translation of the telegram handed over by the adjutant, Wu Yizhi said, "Approve them directly! In addition, send a request for instructions to Commander Xue, and write it according to the above, exactly the same."

"Yes, sir!" the adjutant replied.

Looking at the back of the adjutant leaving, Wu Yizhi was thoughtful.

Not long after, the adjutant came back, and he reported: "Report to the chief education officer, Chief Xue replied and agreed to withdraw the theater guards to Changsha for rest."

After hearing the adjutant's words, Wu Yizhi nodded and said, "Call Zhang Tianhai and ask him to take the troops back to Changsha to rest immediately."

"Yes! Sir!" The adjutant responded.

In fact, Wu Yizhi also knew in his heart that the security forces in the theater must have suffered a loss in this battle. Otherwise, with Zhang Tianhai's character, how could he be willing to retreat and make up for it?He is the commander-in-chief, it is not generally difficult to be...

……

On the other side, the former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Theater Command.

Zhang Tianhai and the others finally waited for the reply from Commander Wu Yizhi and Commander-in-Chief Wu. After receiving this telegram, Zhang Tianhai was not so excited.

Ever since, Zhang Tianhai immediately issued an order for the troops to withdraw to Changsha. At the same time, he called the No.15 Army General Command to explain the situation, and asked the No.15 Army Headquarters to take over the positions of their theater guard troops as soon as possible.

"Old Zhang, I see your expression, you seem to be relieved." Guo Qiliang asked jokingly.

"Nonsense, of course we have to withdraw. If you don't withdraw, the troops will be exhausted by these little devils. The two main battalions are exhausted, and the remaining troops will only be able to support the fourth battalion. By then , but it will be difficult." Zhang Tianhai said with a wry smile.

"Indeed, in this battle, we have also hurt our vitality, and we should take a break. Even our artillery battalion has lost a lot of shells, right? Ask Chief Xue to make up for it, will he make it up for us?" Zhou Fangjie was very serious asked.

"We must find Chief Xue. We have achieved such a good record on both sides of the Xinqiang River. If we don't give us more information, it probably won't make sense, right?" Li Yinglun said.

"My thoughts are the same as Chief of Staff Li's. I must find Commander-in-Chief Xue to supplement. We have fought here for so long, and we have wiped out many enemy troops. We must supplement." Zhang Tianhai said domineeringly. .

That's right, for Zhang Tianhai, this is indeed the way to go, otherwise, if there is no supplement, the strong army of the Ninth War Zone Security Force will be finished sooner or later.

It is that sooner or later the game must be over, Zhang Tianhai is deeply touched.

In this way, the next step of the Ninth War Zone Security Force's plan was decided.

……

Early the next morning, the main force of the guard force of the Ninth War Zone withdrew to Sanjiang Town, and then directly withdrew from Sanjiang Town to Changsha.

……

No.15 Army Group Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Office.

"How is it? Have Zhang Tianhai's group withdrawn?" Guan Linzheng asked the adjutant in front of him.

The adjutant responded and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the theater guards have withdrawn, and now the Second Division and Eighth Regiment have taken over the position."

"It's good that Liu Yuzhang's troops have already taken over." Guan Linzheng nodded, "No matter what, the guards of the Ninth War Zone can be said to be remarkable during their garrison in Xinqianghe. Especially with the Sixth Division The two battles fought by the regiment also gave us a chance to breathe. In this way, you will report the facts to the commander's department, report to Chief Xue, and tell Chief Xue that the theater guards performed excellently during their garrison at Xinqianghe , especially caused heavy losses to the headquarters of the Sixth Division.”

"Yes, sir." The adjutant replied.

That's right, Guan Linzheng is indeed selling favors. For Zhang Tianhai, a junior from the seventh batch of Whampoa, he really favors Zhang Tianhai. He is an old senior, right?
Thinking about it, a playful smile appeared on Guan Linzheng's face.

……

What Zhang Tianhai didn't know was that when he hurried back to Changsha, the commander of the Ninth War Zone was also discussing how to arrange their troops.

"Anyway, the theater security forces have achieved success in this battle, resisting the Sixth Division's southward advance." Xue Yue confirmed the matter.

"But, Commander-in-Chief, our logistical supplies are really tight." Lieutenant General Wei Jianxian, Director of the Ninth War Zone Military Station, complained.

That's right, the position of the director of the military depot reminds me of the logistics minister of later generations, who is responsible for the task of logistics supply.

"I can't control this. As the director of the military depot, this is your task. If you can't complete it, this position should be replaced." Xue Yue said solemnly. He also knew that what Wei Jianxian said was indeed the truth, but he had no choice. He must ensure that he has a force in his hands that can be commanded and that can win battles.

This army must be a sharp knife army!
