War of Resistance

Chapter 145 Adjustment
Sometimes there are some things that can be achieved without deliberately doing or building. This involves the right time, place, people and this thing. For the national army that has been fighting on the front line for more than a few months, it is too necessary A partial victory to boost the low morale.

Ever since, Zhang Tianhai and others fought a victory in "timely", so when Song Xilian reported this battle report to the theater command, Chiang Kai-shek, who also served as the commander of the theater, immediately took this battle as a typical example of the Songhu War of Resistance propaganda.

What are you promoting?Of course, it is to promote the bravery of the soldiers of the national army and the fact that the Japanese army is not invincible.

Song Xilian's report telegram is very interesting, and the 69th Army is also included, and it is written as "the cooperation is very effective". , and then killed Zhang Tianhai, who turned his carbine and took away the Japanese Army's regiment headquarters, killed Nobuda Mizusaburo, the captain of the Eighth Regiment of the Japanese Army, and won the regiment flag. The credit went to him, and the only credit that fell on the tragic Hu Jiaji was that he led his troops to attack the Japanese enemy on the north bank, and severely hit the main force of the Japanese regiment.

It's not that Song Xilian, as a chief, likes to take credit from his subordinates, and the credit for the command must be his own. It would be inappropriate to change anyone, but don't forget about mobilizing troops to fight without authorization. Yes, Amitabha was not shot.

Holding this heavy battle report, Chiang Kai-shek tapped his fingers on the table with his eyes closed, thinking about how to reward him.

"Come here, call the 69th Army to inquire about the battle situation last night!" Chiang Kai-shek ordered the guards around him to say.

"Yes!" The guard replied.

Soon, the report about the 69th Army last night was sent back to Chiang Kai-shek, including the 55th Division's sneak attack on Dachang, which first gained a foothold and was then driven out, and the 57th Division was responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements from Dachang Town, Until the Japanese reinforcements were repelled.

That's right, after receiving the order from General Matsui Iwane, Dizhou Libing did not dare to disobey the military order, and directly ordered the Sendai Wing to withdraw to Dachang. As for the remaining troops of the Artillery Wing, they were in the 69th Division of the 57th Army After the troops withdrew, they escaped and returned to Dachang Town.

Of course, the Chinese military did not intercept this type of intelligence, so it was attributed to the 36th Division for annihilating the trapped enemy in time, so that the enemy retreated.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was born as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, was not as serious in terms of military talent as the black ones of later generations. After carefully reading the battle reports from the 78th Army and the 69th Army twice, he issued two orders: first, after the war The 69th Army was disbanded, and the 57th Division was assigned to the newly established Yu Jishi No.70 Fourth Army battle order, and the 55th Division was temporarily under the direct control of the theater; second, careful study of this battle can be used as a classic case in the classroom of the Central Military Academy.

After giving these two orders, a name was also registered in his heart, that is the three words Zhang Tianhai. From his intuition after serving in the army for many years, this is a talent.

To be able to maintain this calmness after entering the enemy's rear, and then go to attack the enemy's coalition headquarters after annihilating the enemy's artillery positions, isn't that what talent is?
However, Lao Jiang was not in a hurry to say that Zhang Tianhai would be rewarded immediately, and he still had to observe. If he was really talented, he would have other uses.

But in general, a sneak attack that night did make the 36th and 57th divisions a big hit, but what about the 55th division?It is not rewarded but not punished.

After this battle, the Theater Command also made some adjustments to the two armies participating in the war: the 69th Army has lost almost half of its losses since it entered the war, so it withdrew to the rear for replenishment, while the 78th Army replenished its armed ammunition on the spot and continued Stationed on Suzhou Creek.

……

On the afternoon of the 28th, on the south bank of the Suzhou River, the headquarters of the 78th Army, oh, to put it bluntly, it was the headquarters of the 36th Division.

Zhang Tianhai, Hu Jiaji, Fang Ren and others stood in front of Song Xilian and lined up one by one. This time, he wanted to reward the three people who made the most contributions in this battle on behalf of the party and state.

The rewards this time are simple to say, both Hu Jiaji and Fang Ren have won the fourth-class Yunhui Medal, only Zhang Tianhai has been promoted to the military rank in addition to the fourth-class Yunhui Medal, yes, he is now a second-class medal. The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the [-]th regiment is gone, and he is the only one!
"The three of you have contributed the most to this battle, but please don't get carried away because of this. The Japanese army did not attack again today, but it does not mean that the south bank of the Suzhou River is peaceful. Our enemy is very Vicious ones, I hope you will not disappoint the expectations of the party and the country, and continue to fight the enemy bravely!" After speaking, Song Xilian gave a military salute, which was a salute on behalf of the party and the country.

"Yes!" The three replied.

Soon, the division headquarters of the 36th Division issued an order for the transfer of Captain Sun Hong, the deputy battalion commander of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, to the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Brigade as the major battalion commander of the [-]nd Battalion.

Another minor personnel adjustment.

"Yu Lin, the Japanese army is very abnormal today. We killed the main force of two regiments, and they didn't even fart? After the regiment headquarters of the 58th regiment of the Japanese army was taken away, this little devil not only retreated I left without even looking in the direction of Xiaoji. If your analysis is based on your analysis, what do you think it will be?" Walking on the south bank, Hu Jiaji asked Zhang Tianhai. Fa valued Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, maybe we dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army last night, so they need to adjust their combat direction; or they are changing the newly added troops. Neither is good news."

"Let's go! Go back and have a rest. I only slept for two hours in the morning, which is definitely not enough. Leave the rest of the work to the people below!" Hu Jiaji yawned, and he only had to sleep for two hours. Within hours, he was arrested by someone sent by the teacher.

"Okay!" Zhang Tianhai also stretched a lot.

The following day was definitely the most comfortable day since the 36th Division entered Shanghai.

Although there were Japanese planes coming to bomb, at least there was less bombing from ground artillery, and life was much more comfortable.

Soon, the soldiers of the national army could no longer laugh. After all, the next wave of the main force of the Japanese army is coming soon!
