War of Resistance

Chapter 1407 The First Battle of Changsha (Thirty)

When Zhang Tianhai was high-spirited, ready to hide his strength and bide his time, and prepared to fight the Japanese invaders to the death, the front line of Xinqianghe should not be underestimated, especially Guan Linzheng.

On the south bank of the Xinqiang River, Taolin Temple.

As the headquarters of the No.15 Army Group Command, this place should have been peaceful and peaceful, but at this time it was in a state of panic—because of the defeat on the frontline battlefield, the Japanese army had already fought over. It was taken away by the Japanese army.

"Sir, retreat quickly! On the south bank of the Miluo River, apart from Zhang Hanchu's No.20 Fifth Division, Zhao Gongwu's Second Division has also arrived at the south bank of the Miluo River. Now Tan Yizhi's [-]th Division is responsible for covering the commander-in-chief. Let’s retreat and fight the Japanese invaders when we retreat to Miluo County!” Chief of Staff Yao Guojun earnestly persuaded Guan Linzheng. He knew that Guan Linzheng was very unconvinced at this time. Qianghe, even Zhang Tianhai can stand up for a while.

For Yao Guojun, the junior of the fourth phase of Whampoa and the chief of staff of the group army, Guan Linzheng usually listens to his advice, but now his strength has improved, and he also wants to be on top for a while, but after thinking about it, he He still felt that he should follow the advice of the former, so he sighed deeply: "Forget it, just withdraw! If you are inferior to others, you should admit it!"

"Yes! Sir!" Yao Guojun was overjoyed and hurriedly arranged for Guan Linzheng to retreat.

In fact, Guan Linzheng also knew that if he did not withdraw, it would be too late when the Japanese army reached Taolin Temple!

If he retreated at this time, at least Guan Linzheng still has three armies and eight divisions in his hands to resist the Japanese attack. If it is not good enough, isn't Zhang Tianhai's theater guards still in Changle Street?It's still possible to hit a dozen.

With the retreat of Guan Linzheng's No.15 Army, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army advanced all the way, pushing straight on the flat road.

The news of the retreat of the No.15 Group Army quickly spread to the headquarters of the theater security force. Zhang Tianhai, the former commander-in-chief of the theater security force, made a decisive decision and immediately activated the emergency plan-the artillery battalion was withdrawn first, together with the cavalry battalion of the first guard regiment, The third battalion, the fourth battalion, the first battalion and the fourth battalion of the second security regiment retreated together, and at the same time, the main force of the third security regiment was preparing to march towards Wukou Town.

True, the two battalions of the [-]rd Guards Regiment were preparing to march, not immediately.

According to Zhang Tianhai's arrangement, he still has seven battalions in the direction of Changle Street: the guard battalion of the general headquarters, the first, second, fifth, and sixth battalions of the first guard regiment, and the second and third battalions of the second guard regiment. What is there to be afraid of?Isn't there two battalions or a demonstration reinforcement battalion?If you look at it this way, you can still hold on. No matter how bad it is, the third guard regiment will also be put on top, and there will be nine battalions no matter what.

Zhang Tianhai is confident. With the strength of the security forces in the theater at this stage, how could it be possible that they could not withstand the Japanese army for two days?Unless the Japanese army wanted to encircle and wipe out their theater guards—for these, Zhang Tianhai knew in his heart that the troops he commanded had probably already become a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, a thorn in the flesh, and the kind that would not be taken out.

"Old Zhang, are we really not waiting for the order from Shangfeng before we act?" Zhou Fangjie quietly pulled Zhang Tianhai and asked secretly.

"Wait, wait, wait, Lao Tzu's army will be finished." Zhang Tianhai widened his eyes, "It is obvious to all that the artillery battalion was built up and down, even the cavalry battalion, if it weren't for the fact that the cavalry battalion was too How can I be so distressed?"

"That's right, almost a quarter of the horses in the cavalry battalion have been replaced, but the artillery battalion is the most difficult to form. I'll take it with you if you have any responsibilities!" Zhou Fangjie said bluntly. Tianhai's loyal follower, if it weren't for the latter, he would have died when he was in Nanjing, let alone the current position of deputy chief.

"Don't worry! There is no possibility of any responsibility. We still have nine battalions in our hands. If we change to other troops, there will be three regiments. This is not a small force. Carry out the mission of Chief Xue , that is completely enough. Even if we retreat completely according to the plan, we still have two regiments of troops in our hands. If we can't beat them, then we can't escape?" Zhang Tianhai looked at Zhou Fangjie at this time, as if mentally retarded...

"That's right!" Zhou Fangjie smiled, feeling relieved all of a sudden.

Hey, follow this kind of witty old fritters, that is peace of mind, as stable as an old dog...

So, when Zhang Tianhai and the others started to play tricks, trying to save their strength for another fight, what was Chief Xue Yue busy with?

Changsha, the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Theater.

Due to the loss of Caoxieling, the No.15 Army retreated. At this time, the Commander's Department of the theater was also busy, with telegrams beeping, and even the officers inside were walking around, doing their own thing, so busy.

"Sir, all the troops are in place now. The six divisions we have prepared on the south bank of the Laodao River will definitely be enough for a kid to drink a pot. At that time, I will order the No.15 Army to kill the carbine, together with the humble theater guards. The troops tried their best to besiege the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division and the Third Division with [-] divisions, and I also believe that there will be gains!" Wu Yizhi stood in front of Xue Yue, full of confidence.

Indeed, Wu Yizhi has the strength to say these words!

He will still pay attention to the movements of the security forces of the Ninth War Zone - just because he delegates power, it does not mean that he will not pay attention.

Wu Yizhi knew very well that under the leadership of former enemy commander-in-chief Zhang Tianhai, deputy chief Zhou Fangjie, and chief of staff Li Yinglun, the combat effectiveness of this unit was gradually increasing, and it was still strong enough to fight head-on with the Japanese brigade without falling behind. That kind!

For such an army, Wu Yizhi is willing to delegate power, and hopes that this army can gradually become a sharp knife in the Ninth Theater that can gouge out a large piece of fat from the Japanese army!

After hearing Wu Yizhi's report, Xue Yue nodded slightly. This was already in his expectation: he wanted to reproduce the Heavenly Furnace tactics in the north of Hunan, and used the scorching flames to send the No. 11 Japanese Army from the direction of Yueyang. The two sharp swords that came melted away!

"The troops of the No.15 Army are already retreating. With Guan Linzheng's talent, it is not difficult to retreat completely. It's just that the guards in the theater can retreat." Xue Yue looked at Wu Yizhi.

Wu Yizhi also knew that Chief Xue Yue was asking for his opinion, so he said openly: "Sir, I feel that there is no need to worry about the security forces for the time being. With Zhang Tianhai's cunning, the situation is not looking good now. Maybe they are ready to run away. The key is, where are they going to put their troops? Wukou Town?"

After hearing Wu Yizhi's words, Xue Yue also began to think about where to withdraw the theater guards.
