War of Resistance

Chapter 200 The Battle of Chunhua
In the early morning of December 30, 40, two hours after the headquarters of the No.[-] Sixth Division delivered the cuffs to the Zhiyi Regiment, the No.[-] Eighth Division under the Second Army arrived in Nanjing. Drive to Yangfang Mountain and Wulong Mountain to rush to build positions.

At the same time, the No. 40 First Division under the Second Army found traces of the Japanese army in Longtan, Baijingtai, and Baoguo Mountain. The Japanese army fought fiercely.

The camera then turned to the No.70 Fourth Army guarding the southern battlefield.

Time went back to the day before, that is, on December [-]th, a regiment of advancing enemies from Tianwangsi and Shanggecun attacked the advancing position of the national army in Hushu Town. Under the command of battalion commander Hu Hao, the army was defeated after a day and night of bloody battles, and was forced to abandon Hushu Town.

At the same time, the Japanese troops fleeing from Tuqiao Town to Suoshu Town repeatedly carried out high-intensity fire reconnaissance and intermittent attacks on the Chunhua Town position. The Anti-Japanese War, and the troops drove away the Japanese cavalry in the direction of Suoshu Town, and gained a lot.

On the same day, the front line of Tangshui Town (i.e. Tangshan Town) between Chunhua Town and Dongchang Street was invaded by Japanese cavalry. (Dusk) Retreat to second line.

"Grandma, these little Japanese are so fucking fierce, they are as deadly as those bastards in Luodian." Wang Yaowu, the commander of the first division, cursed at the division headquarters, which had been set up in Tangshui Town closest to the front line. , His division headquarters is less than 400 meters away from the second-line position, and even the Japanese cannons can be obtained. If it is not for self-confidence, there will be no traitors, otherwise the 51st division division headquarters will be gone when this shell falls.

"Master, our casualty report is out. The two battalions of our [-]st Regiment have suffered more than half of the casualties, and only the battalion serving as the reserve team is still relatively complete." The deputy of the [-]st Regiment who came to report the situation The head of the group, Ji Hongru, came to report.

"Can your regiment still fight?" Wang Yaowu asked Ji Hongru.

"Reporter, as long as there is only one person left in my [-]st Regiment, the position will not be lost. If there are people, the position will be there!" Ji Hongru assured, patting his chest.

Wang Yaowu stood up, looked straight into Ji Hongru's eyes, and said, "That's fine, keep fighting! Don't hurt the little Japanese. I really thought that the people in our 74th Army were soft persimmons. Did you fight the [-]st Regiment?" Now, I will send reinforcements to you again, in short, the position cannot be lost! The people are in the position!"

"Yes!" Ji Hongru assured.

The front line has become like this. It is impossible to say that Wang Yaowu does not feel distressed. Not only does it hurt, but it also hurts. The 51st Division was brought out by him, starting from the formation of the Supplementary Brigade in 51, and now the [-]st Division. , was brought out step by step by Wang Yaowu.

Although distressed, but there is no way, this is a national war, the country is gone, why start a family?
……

Battle reports from all fronts are in full swing, and Zhang Tianhai can naturally know the external battle situation through the radio. Whenever he hears an unfavorable battle report, his heart sinks a little.

The equipment of the Zhiyi Regiment is almost comparable to that of the Teaching Corps, except for the quality of the soldiers.If it weren't for the quality of the soldiers, the troops directly under the first regiment would be able to support the front line, right?
Although the 74th Army and the Second Army are not as well-equipped as the Zhiyi Regiment, they are better than the quality of the soldiers. The Second Army is a new force, and the troops in this army are from the Central Plains War The troops that were incorporated and retrained later were all the elite left by the old Beiyang faction, and the troops themselves were "centralized" to a certain extent.

What is centralization?Since more than half of the middle- and lower-level officers of the army are students graduated from the Central Military Academy or other regular military academies and martial arts halls, their combat effectiveness is more than 01:30 points stronger than the Caotaizi troops from the local motley army.

Let’s talk about the 74th Army. The 74th Army itself is the direct line of Chiang Kai-shek. Let’s talk about the Eighth Division. In 1935, Yu Jishi personally formed and reorganized this army, and later it was included in the list of adjustment divisions. Yes, although they did not accept full-style German equipment, but in terms of weapons and equipment, they can almost catch up with the 36th Division and other troops. The 58th Division alone has 54 heavy machine guns, 274 light machine guns, and 243 grenade launchers. There are 16 mountain guns, field guns, and howitzers, and 30 mortars and flat-fire guns.

The 74st Division, another main division of the 51th Army, is also a battle-hardened unit with good equipment and excellent quality of personnel.

Although the 74th Army's losses on the Songhu battlefield were not small, but the essence of its main force is still there, and with the addition of some troops, it can barely withstand it.

But his regiment is different. Compared with a brigade, it is too small, so it is just better equipped. In addition, the team is composed of routs. Although it is a reinforced regiment, does it keep up with the will to fight and the discipline on the battlefield? superior?This is a huge question mark.

It was precisely because he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the discipline on the battlefield that Zhang Tianhai specially set up a military police company and replaced it with other troops. How could a mere reinforced regiment need so many military police from a company?

As for the will to fight, it can only rely on Zhang Tianhai and the four battalion commanders to continue to instill the spirit of "the glory of the war of resistance" and "the soldiers return themselves as shrouded in horse leather".

But no one knows what the specific effect will be. After all, there is a saying that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth".

But no one dared to take this risk. To be prepared, they couldn't afford to take this risk—the consequences of failure would be too serious.

Zhiyi regiment is too new, so new that the regiment commander and soldiers are all new. This is the root cause of Song Xilian's uneasiness.

"Hey, what a fucking annoyance!" Thinking about it, Zhang Tianhai clenched his fists, and the yellow cuff on his left shoulder could better reflect his depression at the moment—he was here to guard against his own deserters, Not to fight.

"Tuan Zuo, take a break, you've been cursing all afternoon." Liu Houming persuaded Zhang Tianhai, he really couldn't see it.

The wind from the Yangtze River blowing in the direction of Xiaguan brought a little bit of coolness, and Zhang Tianhai couldn't help feeling sad: Could the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre really be unstoppable?
Maybe it was the cold river wind that woke Zhang Tianhai up, he shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "No, I still have to fight."

"What are you fighting for?" Liu Houming came over with an old face, obviously he heard Zhang Tianhai's words, "Tuan Zuo, don't think about disobeying military orders, the knives of the military court can kill people."

As he said that, Liu Houming also performed a decapitation action, which can be described as full of emotion and emotion.

Looking at Liu Houming's actions, Zhang Tianhai also knew that this guy was kindly reminding himself. After all, for the former, only his own future is bright, and this kid's life will be messed up.

But Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of person who is stupid enough to disobey the military order. After all, if he disobeys the military order, let alone resisting the Japanese, he will die at the hands of his own people immediately.

It is precisely because he knows the consequences and the results that Zhang Tianhai feels helpless. The national army is not an undisciplined team. If he disobeys the orders of the army, the consequences will be very serious. What happened to Han Fuqu, commander-in-chief of the group army?If you don't accept it, then refer to the fate of Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division during the Lanfeng Battle and a graduate of the first phase of Whampoa?
Not everyone is as lucky as Sun Yuanliang, on this point, Zhang Tianhai is self-aware.
