War of Resistance

Chapter 254 To Chuzhou?
Since the main force of the penetration regiment ran along the railway, the entire team moved much faster.

Although the army's marching speed has increased a lot, Zhang Tianhai has never forgotten the situation he is in. The troops left behind in Chunhua Town have been wiped out, so the next goal of the Japanese army must be to explore the advance route of the penetration regiment at full speed. Within two hours at most, the Japanese army will find their march.

"Quick, quick! Follow up immediately!" Zhang Tianhai shouted to the team around him. The long and relatively slow team made him feel anxious. He couldn't let Wei He trade his life for it. Precious time wasted.

Zhang Tianhai always believed that along this railway, he would soon be able to enter Wuhu. The premise was fast, and the Japanese army must not catch up with them!
"Tuan Zuo, what do you need to do at this time?" Liu Houming stepped forward and asked, not to mention that he also knew that what happened in Chunhua Town would definitely make Tuan Zuo feel uncomfortable.

Like Liu Houming, Wei He is a confidant who was promoted from the soldiers by the Tuan Zuo, and he and Liu Houming are also brothers who have lived and died together. If it weren't for that kind of situation, the Tuan Zuo would never let Wei He be in that kind of situation. situation.

Regarding this point, Liu Houming knew better than anyone else, and he also felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Tianhai stopped advancing, shook his head and said: "No need, the team is still moving a bit slower now, if necessary, I will tell you."

"Yes, group seat." Liu Houming replied.

……

Compared with the panic on Zhang Tianhai's side, Zhiyituan's side is quite relaxed. Behind them is Hu Zongnan's First Army to help fight the rear. They just need to reach Xuzhou safely and responsibly.

"Chief of Staff, do we need to slow down our marching speed?" First Battalion Commander Li Chunfei came up and asked.

I saw Guo Qiliang shook his head and said, "No need, speed up the march, first stay in Chuzhou for two days, then we will see the situation, and then send a report to the Wuhan Military and Political Department in the name of the group seat, requesting command."

"Yes!" Li Chunfei stood at attention and saluted. He was also the battalion commander single-handedly picked up by Zhang Tianhai. Among the students of the ninth batch of the Central Military Academy, how many of them could become battalion commanders like him?

Among the students of the ninth batch of the Central Military Academy, many of them have already been dispatched to serve as company commanders or deputy company commanders in the non-directed Central Army, not to mention direct-lined troops like Zhiyituan. The battalion commander sent out to the Central Army who is not a direct descendant, at least he is also a regiment commander, and his status is not low.

If it wasn't for the expansion of the Zhiyi Regiment, and he was the one who followed the regiment commander all the time, he would definitely not be able to take the position of battalion commander.

It is precisely because the timing of the expansion of the Zhiyi Regiment is when there are no soldiers, let alone officers, so there is a very strange phenomenon in the Zhiyi Regiment-this is a direct-line army. From top to bottom, it is composed of Whampoa Phase V to Phase VII, not to mention officers from other local military academies, but in Zhiyi Regiment, all this is exactly the opposite.

The Zhiyi Regiment has the best equipment and is almost composed of veterans. Both the equipment and the composition of the soldiers are excellent, but their officer composition is relatively low compared to other troops. It's mixed up—although the components are dominated by the Whampoa faction, the officers of the Whampoa faction are relatively young. The only disadvantage of being young is lack of experience, let alone the Northeast military officers of Wang Yongcheng's branch.

However, in Zhang Tianhai's opinion, this is nothing. His point of view is: if Wang Yongcheng or Wang Ziqing fails to fight well, he will abolish these two battalion commanders at any time.

As for Li Chunfei and Lu Shaojie, forget it, these two are the type of people who are brave and do not want to die in battle. If they are scared, they will not be stunned, otherwise they will not be allowed to be the first battalion and the second battalion. long.

In any case, Zhang Tianhai was kind to Li Chunfei, so he didn't want anything to happen to Captain Zhang.If the chief was changed, absolutely no one would reuse him or promote him like Zhang Tianhai!

What Guo Qiliang said when he went to Chuzhou to send another telegram was not because he wanted to seize power, but because the situation ahead was complicated. Gu Zhutong and Commander Gu had assembled a large number of troops in southern Anhui, and their headquarters might be in the In Chuzhou city, if Zhiyituan didn't send a report to Wuhan in Chuzhou city, it would be unreasonable, if not, it would be easy, Zhiyituan can go to Xuzhou slowly.

"Platoon Leader Xu, how is Director Zheng doing now?" Guo Qiliang asked Xu Sangou, after all, they are brothers and wives, so they need to be taken care of. As for Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man, no one in the whole regiment knows about it. ah?

"Report to the chief of staff that her condition is better." Xu Sangou reported truthfully, but he remembered what the group seat said-"If there is any problem, when I arrive in Xuzhou, I will pick it up personally." off your skin!"

"Is everything else the same?" Guo Qiliang asked again.

"No, Director Zheng seems to be the kind of pampered person. If he really can't walk anymore, he will ask the brothers in the guard platoon to put on a stretcher and carry them away." Xu Sangou said.

After hearing this sentence, Guo Qiliang nodded and said, "Okay, remember to take good care of him."

"Yes! Sir!" Xu Sangou stood at attention and saluted.

……

The camera turns to Chunhua Town again.

The captains of the four regiments of the Japanese army have gathered together, including Yuzo Sakata, the commander of No.13 Regiment of the Sixth Division, Sota Uki, the commander of the Eighth Regiment of No.13 Division, and the 18th Regiment. Takahashi Masaobu, the captain of the No. [-] Division Sixth Regiment, and Watanabe Iya, the captain of the Sixth Regiment of the No. [-] Division.

"Masters, in which direction do you think the enemy army will flee?" Takahashi Masaotake, as the temporary frontline commander, raised this question.

"Gentlemen, let me just talk about my humble opinion!" Watanabe Jing also said, he pointed to the location on the map, and said analytically: "I believe that the combat effectiveness of this enemy army has already been experienced by you. ?My Sixth Regiment lost nearly 300 people in the hands of the Chinese Army. The so-called strong will to fight must be the elite of the Chinese Central Army. I think that since the commander of this army is experienced in combat A rich and intelligent commander, I think he may go south along the line of Liyang, Langxi, and Ningguo to avoid the main force of our Wuhu troops!"

"Watanabe-kun, I have a different opinion on this. If I, Takahashi Masaobu, were the commander of this army, and I also held a well-equipped army with a strong will to fight, I would definitely go directly along the Wuhu Railway. Go south and start a war with our garrisoned troops directly!" Takahashi Masaobu said seriously, anyway, if it was him, he would definitely use a supercilious style of play.

"Mr. Takahashi's words are wrong. Not all commanders are as bold and arrogant as Mr. Takahashi, especially the officers of the Chinese Army. Even though the railway line can reach Wuhu the fastest, please don't forget that the railway The thread is used in a place that is easily exposed." The speaker was Dizhou Libing, as the commander of Matsui Iwane, who was not present at this time, but it was a bit unreasonable.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander (His Excellency General Dizhou)!" The four captains immediately greeted Dizhou when they saw Dizhou standing up.

I saw Dizhou Libing walked to the side of the map, and said loudly: "So, in my humble opinion, the pursuit must be along the Liyang, Langxi, and Ningguo lines! Pass my order, the No.13 division headquarters, except the No. Outside the 13th Regiment, immediately pursue the Chinese Army along the Liyang, Langxi, and Ningguo lines. In addition, the No. 13 Regiment of the Sixth Division joined forces with the [-]th Regiment of our No. [-] Division to form The westward detachment, with Masao Takahashi as its commander, will explore along the section of the railway from Nanjing to Wuhu. The Sixth Regiment is waiting for orders from your commander Ushishima Sadao!"

"Hay!" In addition to the original four captains responding, there were also two captains brought by Dizhou Libing.

"However, the headquarters of the westward detachment must pay attention to safety. The No. 18 division has sent a main force to go north along the Beijing-Wuhan railway. Your detachment must be extremely careful, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault !" Dizhou Libing added another sentence, because he has already learned about the situation of the battle tonight. The Chinese army that broke through the siege is like a group of hungry wolves. They are fierce and fearless. He doesn't want to Let the Westward Detachment have even bigger problems.

"Hay!" Masaobu Takahashi and Yuzo Sakata responded at the same time.
