War of Resistance

Chapter 1444: Expand the results?

Facts have proved that Zhang Tianhai's judgment was extremely correct. For example, some troops attacked recklessly and launched a pursuit of the Japanese 13th Division Cavalry Regiment without waiting for the larger troops to catch up. As a result, the entire battalion was wiped out.

When the news reached the ears of Zhang Tianhai and others, Xu Xun couldn't help but shout: "The commander-in-chief is wise!"

At this time, Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie had returned to the front line of Changle Street.

At this time, Changle Street was already in ruins and desolate.

Bodies everywhere and the land dyed red with blood looked like a purgatory on earth.

"I really don't know how long it will take for us to defeat these vicious little devils..." Zhou Fangjie sighed.

After hearing this, Zhang Tianhai remained silent because he knew that these little devils would only surrender after eating two atomic bombs on their land! And that time was already a few years later!

(PS: After seeing this, some book friends may want to refute, saying that if enough people die in Japan, Japan will surrender. If you are not convinced, let’s look at barbecue master Li Mei’s masterpiece, BBQ Tokyo. Those little devils are still unwilling Even the evil dog-nationalist fanatics want to start a homeland war with the Allies!)

"No matter how long it takes, we will continue to fight. We must let them know that as long as they are still in our land, we will let them keep their lives here." Zhang Tianhai said solemnly.

"That's probably all it can do!" Zhou Fangjie sighed.

"After all, this is a war between countries. Although Japan's war potential is far less than that of our country, our country's foundation... is really too weak. If the wishes of the sixty German weapon masters can be realized, why fight like this? Hardship? These Japanese devils only know how to bully us who are poor and weak..." Zhang Tianhai's face was also full of sorrow. It was precisely because he knew the history that he was so painful.

The greatest sorrow for people is knowing the ending but not being able to change it.

Zhang Tianhai only knew that, let alone the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, even as an army commander, could he change the situation? Even if you are the commander-in-chief of the group army, you can't do that!

……

With the rapid retreat of the Japanese army, the Chinese troops who had reacted quickly followed up and basically recovered the land lost since the beginning of the first battle of Changsha. They even faced the main force of the Japanese army across the river, giving a feeling of being on separate sides.

As the commander of the 15th National Army, Guan Linzheng immediately followed the main force of the group army back to the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

At this time, Guan Linzheng's face was full of exhaustion, and his originally clean and straight military uniform was now covered with dust and black carbon ash. He was holding a pair of binoculars and was studying the situation on the opposite side tirelessly.

"Junzuo, the troop casualty report is out. Our group army has suffered no less than 30,000 casualties, with the heaviest casualties in central Xiachu being more than 13,000 casualties." Chief of Staff Yao Guojun said next to him.

"The casualties of more than 30,000 people are quite considerable." Guan Linzheng mused, "Order all units to continue to pursue the Japanese troops. If they can't win, they will shrink their troops and build a defense line on the spot!"

"Yes! Sir!!" Yao Guojun responded. After Yao Guojun left, Guan Linzhengcai said to a lieutenant colonel and staff officer beside him: "I will give you a task. You go and understand the current situation of the security forces in the theater. I want the latest news!"

"Yes! Sir!!" the staff officer responded.

"Sir, you seem to be very concerned about the security forces in this theater..." Zhang Yaoming, commander of the 52nd Army on the side, said with a wry smile.

"It's impossible not to pay attention... The battle fought by Zhang Tianhai in Changle Town is of great significance to the lost territory our army has recovered so far. The situation of their troops should not be very optimistic now. Their troops are the heart and soul of the commander's department. If they don't get good reinforcements, then our 15th Army must be prepared to live a hard life." Guan Linzheng explained with a wry smile.

"The hard times are over. It seems that since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, except for those of us who are the direct descendants of the Central Army, we have been able to get better supplements. The other troops are almost like beggars, right?" Zhang Yaoming sighed.

"That's okay, right? But as the War of Resistance gets longer and longer, Japan's life is beginning to be difficult. Now it depends on who can endure it." Guan Linzheng is not one of those people who only relies on connections to get to the top. In fact, , whether it is strategic vision or political vision, they are extremely keen.

"Sir, do you mean to take the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army?" Zhang Yaoming instantly understood what Guan Linzheng meant.

"Yes, use all your strength as much as you can. In short, we must take advantage of the Japanese army's unstable foothold to counterattack them again." Guan Linzheng said in a deep voice.

"Sir, I have a piece of advice from my humble position. Please consider it carefully, sir." Zhang Yaoming raised a rare objection.

"Oh? What do you have in mind?" Guan Linzheng put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Zhang Yaoming and said.

"I dare not take it seriously. The main reason is that our army is now in a state of poverty. The Japanese army fell into mud when retreating. But our army faces the same predicament when pursuing it? Our army faced the Japanese offensive and has tenaciously withstood it. It’s pretty good to be able to catch up with the Japanese army on the south bank of the Xinqiang River within a week. Is there anything wrong with fighting at this time?” As the commander of the 52nd Army, Zhang Yaoming asked what was the situation of his own troops and what could he do? Is it clear?

"No matter what, we are tired, and the enemy is even more tired. We must take advantage of now to continue to expand our results and prepare for the next stage of combat. You don't need to say anything anymore. Just execute." Guan Linzheng said in a deep voice, and there was no longer any words between his words. Room for negotiation.

"Yes, Jun seat!" Zhang Yaoming stood at attention and saluted, and then left the front line.

Looking at Zhang Yaoming's leaving figure, Guan Linzheng shook his head slightly: Yaoming, this guy, can fight if he can, but his thinking is not smooth enough... The 15th Group Army is a piece of the war zone commander's nail on the Yueyang front line anyway. The steel plate is a barrier used to withstand Japanese bullets. If they don't take the opportunity now to achieve greater results, when the Japanese army moves south again, the Fifteenth Army will have even less initiative.

From Guan Linzheng's perspective, this battle must be fought. This is a battle for the 15th Group Army to win the next battle and gain the initiative!

……

The senior officials of the Fifteenth Group Army are preparing to expand the results of the war, and the Ninth Theater Guard Corps finally received a retreat order from the theater commander's headquarters - to withdraw to the front line in Changsha for rest and recuperation!

PS: Dear readers, there is no eunuch in this book, and I have not died either. It's just that I have made some adjustments to my work. I have become a secretary to a department-level cadre, so the work intensity is very intense, so I can only use the time to update. I hope everyone understands...
