War of Resistance

Chapter 307 The sword is unsheathed
Look at Zhang Tianhai again.

After the conflict with Huo Qiming on December 12th, the two shook hands and made peace again.The relationship is quite close, at least those who don't know think they are old friends who have known each other for many years.

As for the matter of Zhang Tianhai leading his troops to rob Yishantang, Huo Qiming also acted quite open-minded, he didn't mention it at all during the conversation, and the six or seven hundred oceans were also given to the former for nothing.

Well, there is no need to return it anyway. Besides, I don't know what channel Huo Qiming used to get a batch of diesel oil for Zhang Tianhai. The key is that he didn't take any money.

On this point, Zhang Tianhai felt that Huo Qiming was quite capable, and he was definitely not a simple person.

Of course, Huo Qiming is not a simple person, so is Zhang Tianhai some kind of simple person?What should be taken still has to be taken, the big deal is to pay back the favor in the future.

Ever since, after resting overnight, Zhang Tianhai set off again with his troops, heading straight for Xuzhou.

Different from other times, Zhang Tianhai gave an urgent marching order this time, and he must rush to Xuzhou quickly. According to the surviving memories of his previous life, he vaguely remembered that the 12th and 27th were the days when Han Fuqu retreated without a fight and abandoned Jinan , It was precisely because of Han Fuqu's retreat without a fight that it marked the beginning of the Xuzhou battle.

This day is already December 12. If there is no accident, Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, will ask the central government for guns and troops because of the tight frontline battle.

Since he wanted people, guns and troops, how could he miss his direct regiment?
Regarding why Chief Tang Shengzhi transferred his regiment directly under the Third Theater to Xuzhou, Zhang Tianhai also had countless ideas, but in the end he still felt that only two were the most reliable ones—first, transfer to Xuzhou and transfer to Wuhan; This was taken as a gift by Tang Shengzhi and was directly packaged for Li Zongren, commander of the fifth theater.

Of course, Zhang Tianhai is leaning towards the latter, otherwise why not let them go directly to Wuhan, or just return to build the third war zone, and even go all the way to Xuzhou? !

On this point, Zhang Tianhai is very clear, but he must not make a sound. After all, he wants to follow Li Zongren and Chief Li in the Xuzhou battle, whether it is the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of LY, or the bloody battle Whether it is Teng County, he hopes to fight a battle in Xuzhou.

In the Nanjing breakout battle, Zhang Tianhai was quite aggrieved by the Japanese army being chased and beaten. He led more than 500 defeated soldiers and more than 3000 civilians to run. It is quite good to be able to escape.

Compared with the embarrassment during the Nanjing breakout battle, when Zhang Yulin returns to Zhiyituan, all this will be greatly changed!

When he was in Nanjing, he had only [-] defeated soldiers, and he had [-] civilians to drag him down, but it was different when he arrived in Xuzhou—his Zhiyi Regiment was at the time when its soldiers were strong and strong, and with the addition of the troops he brought back These [-] veterans who have survived the battle will go back and reorganize, and their combat effectiveness will definitely increase!
At that time, there will be more than 500 armored soldiers in a regiment. If there are reinforcements such as artillery battalions and all German weapons and equipment, it will be a joke.

It's time for this sword to be shown for the world to see, and let the Japanese army see the sharpness of this "unsheathed sword"!
Jiashan County is not too far from Xuzhou, only two to three hundred kilometers. In addition, there are many plains in this area, so the progress is quite smooth.

After a day and night of urgent marching, Zhang Tianhai and others finally arrived in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou, this is a big city, as the junction of East China, North China, and Central China, its strategic location is undoubtedly very important.

As long as Xuzhou can be captured, the Japanese troops in North China and Central China will be able to form a line, and they can launch a fierce attack on Wuhan along the Ping-Han Railway!
This is the plan that the Japanese army has made!
Vehicles came and went in Xuzhou City, and local troops wearing various military uniforms came in and out, but the uniforms of the Central Army were not seen.

As a result, Zhang Tianhai's unit wearing dirty Central Army uniforms suddenly became the focus of the audience.

"Hey, brother, have you seen a Central Army unit named the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone in Xuzhou City?" Zhang Tianhai dismounted immediately, and then pulled past a local army unit wearing a blue and gray uniform. asked the lieutenant.

The Lieutenant Gao whose clothes had been ripped off was stunned for a moment. He was about to get angry, but when he saw that the other party's military rank was the rank of colonel, his expression changed all of a sudden. From Xuzhou, the troops are about to move out now."

"Which unit are you from?" Zhang Tianhai asked with a frown.

"Report sir, we belong to the [-]th Army of the Third Army of the Northwest Army." The lieutenant reported truthfully.

Hearing the number of the Forty Army, Zhang Tianhai really felt a little familiar. He suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the army that won the battle of LY with Zhang Zizhong's Ninth Army!
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, and asked, "Is your commander Pang Bingxun Pang!"

"For us, the commander is the commander of the Pang Bingxun army." The lieutenant said truthfully, after all, they are all troops of the national army, and there is nothing to hide.

Zhang Tianhai nodded and said, "Okay, I won't bother you. Let's go to the city and look for it by ourselves!"

"Okay, goodbye, sir." The lieutenant gave a military salute, and then led the troops away.

Dressed troops like Zhang Tianhai can tell at a glance that they have just experienced a fierce battle not long ago. Now that they can still fight this level of fierce battle, besides fighting the Japanese, what kind of troops will they fight with? !
The Civil War hasn't been fought since 1937.

There are no heroes in the civil war, this has long been concluded by everyone.

Those who can fight against Little Japan are the real heroes, and the military salute is for the troops who broke out from Nanjing.

Which of these troops did not fight the Japanese army to break out?
Looking at the back of the Northwest Army troops leaving, Zhang Tianhai had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know when his troops would arrive.

"It would be great if I had a mobile phone at this time..." Zhang Tianhai sighed in his heart.

At this moment, a unit in yellow-green military uniform appeared at the far end of the horizon, and at first glance it was a unit of the Central Army.

It's just that this troop is moving extremely slowly, and it seems to be suspected of grinding foreign labor?
