War of Resistance

Chapter 223 Nanjing Breakout Battle ([-])

For Zheng Man's sadness or Guo Qiliang's anger, Zhang Tianhai has considered these factors, but so what?What he has to do involves too much, and he doesn't want to drag them down!
The pier was still full of chaos. Zhang Tianhai ordered the secret service company to sit down and have dinner first, and then make arrangements. The so-called dinner was naturally those fried rice with cold water.

Zhang Tianhai was gnawing on the few cold fried rice in his hand, and he still had some fried rice on his body, but that was enough for a few days, so he had to save some.

Looking at the cloudless night sky, dots of stars are shining, the cold river wind is still bitter, and seeing the riverside is still chaotic, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank. He is still waiting, waiting for about ten years. At two o'clock, the hearts of these stragglers were in despair. There may be many regiment and battalion officers at the scene commanding these stragglers. Since they have their own middle-level officers in command, it is definitely impossible to obey him. Commanding.

Time passed by, the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division had already controlled several small ferries present, and the rest of the skirmishers were chaotic. The Yangtze River, but most of these people who jumped into the Yangtze River will not survive, because the water temperature is cold and they are not familiar with water.

Zhang Tianhai took the special agent company to find a relatively open place and sat down. He asked the officers and soldiers of the special agent company to hurry up and recover their physical strength. In short, they must have sufficient physical strength when retreating to break through!
Soon, someone noticed that this well-equipped team was sitting very calmly under the leadership of a senior officer, so calm that there was no trace of panic on their faces and they were all calm.

Ever since, a bold soldier came over and asked, "Sir, which unit do you belong to? Why don't you leave in a hurry? The Japanese devils are about to kill them..."

"Tell him directly." Zhang Tianhai said to Liu Houming beside him, he was still thinking about which route to break through would be safer.

"Yes, regiment seat!" Liu Houming responded, and after receiving the order, he said directly to the soldier: "We are directly under the first regiment in the theater, and the officer next to us is our regiment leader, and our regiment leader is here. I want to wait until there are more people, and then organize a breakthrough!"

"Breakthrough?" the soldier asked suspiciously, seemingly in disbelief.

Liu Houming snorted coldly, and said very proudly: "Our regiment commander, if we didn't want to take you routs away, we would have crossed the river with the commander of the war zone commander's department. You are really blind. "

Liu Houming is also sober, he knows when to say something, and he also knows what things should be exaggerated appropriately. When half a sentence is mixed in ten sentences, it is very realistic.

Looking at Liu Houming's attitude, the leading officer is indeed a colonel, and there are more than 200 people who are quite calm. The most important thing is that the equipment is complete, and it is equipped with German weapons. Except for the troops directly under the theater, other German troops The mechanical troops were all broken up.

So, the little soldier believed it, and hurried back to report to their commander. Soon, the battalion commander of that army came over and directly saluted Zhang Tianhai who was sitting there: "Hi sir, we teach There are still more than 100 people in the [-]nd Brigade and [-]th Regiment of the General Corps, and we have basically not lost our rifles. Our [-]rd Battalion and regiment were dispersed. It is also heard that the chiefs of the Minister’s Department have also withdrawn. You are the head of the regiment directly under the theater, and I would like to ask, can we let our troops follow you to break through?"

Zhang Tianhai stood up and looked at the young officer in front of him. He replied with a military salute and said, "Yes. We come back to take you with us. But I have one condition."

"Sir, it doesn't matter, as long as there is a chance to lead our brothers out of the encirclement, as long as the command is given, the humble post will definitely obey." The major battalion commander stood at attention again and saluted.

I saw Zhang Tianhai nodded, and then said sternly: "Now that the encirclement circle of the Japanese army has not been fully formed, we still have a great chance to break out of the encirclement. My condition is that all of you accept my command unconditionally. Otherwise, you can Find someone else, the special agent company behind me is a strengthened company, even if I bring my special agent company, I can break through the encirclement!"

"Yes, sir!" The major stood at attention again and saluted, which was his promise.

"What's your name?" Zhang Tianhai looked directly at the major and asked.

"The humble Zhou Fangjie is the commander of the [-]rd Battalion, the [-]rd Battalion, the [-]nd Brigade, [-]th Regiment of the Teaching Corps!" The major's voice was very powerful.

"Okay, let's eat something first! Eat something, and then rest for a while, other stragglers will come and join your battalion directly!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianhai said to Wei He behind him: "Commander Wei, let the subordinates The brethren in the corps share some food and teach the brethren in the corps."

"Yes!" Wei He responded, and then faithfully carried out the order of the regiment leader.

"Thank you, sir." Zhou Fangjie said.

Zhang Tianhai nodded slightly and said, "My name is Zhang Tianhai, and I am directly under the head of the first regiment in the war zone."

Soon, Zhou Fangjie officially joined Zhang Tianhai's "sit-in" team with his third battalion, which was said to be the only remaining one.

What is a chain reaction, a chain reaction is when one individual does something, other individuals will follow suit.

When Zhou Fangjie's more than 100 people joined Zhang Tianhai's team, Zhang Tianhai's team suddenly increased to more than 300 and nearly 400 people. Such a large team of three to 400 people will naturally attract the attention of many people on the riverside, so , these rout soldiers began to slowly inquire about the situation with Zhang Tianhai one by one, and then they wanted to join Zhang Tianhai's team.

At this time, those who rushed to the river were basically soldiers from the Central Army. After all, the local troops like Xu Yuanquan's Second Army Corps were sticking to the direction of the Wulong Mountain Fortress, and the two armies of the Guangdong Army also broke through.

At the beginning, ten to 20 people joined, and Zhang Tianhai agreed to them one by one, but he found that if these stragglers were well commanded, it was very likely that these troops would collapse at the first touch!
He absolutely allowed this situation to happen, so Zhang Tianhai came up with an idea, which was to break up these troops and group them into the special agent company and Zhou Fangjie's battalion. mob.

Zhang Tianhai figured it out. These troops were organized into his own special service company first, so that one-third of a squad was veterans of the special service company, and the remaining two-thirds were newly formed troops.

Zhou Fangjie's battalion can be formed according to his own way. For Zhang Tianhai, the spy company is the confidence for Zhang Tianhai to lead his troops to break through the encirclement.

于是乎，特务连这个加强连就从250多人逐渐扩编到350多人，然后再从350多人又扩编到570多人，又从570多人扩编到650多人。

And Zhou Fangjie's team has also expanded from more than 100 people to more than 400 people. When combined with Zhang Tianhai's team, there are more than 1000 people, which immediately reduces the burden on the chaotic dock.

What's more, the chariot company also joined the team with the breakout team at its core, which immediately boosted Zhang Tianhai's confidence a lot. This is a chariot company after all, and it's an established formation. The chariot company with nine tanks is enough for a kid to drink a pot.

For a commander from modern times, the importance of tanks and chariots on the battlefield is self-evident, especially in this era when the emphasis on tanks is far below that of later generations!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai must make good use of this chariot company!
