War of Resistance

Chapter 323 Actively prepare for battle?

However, Li Zongren is the commander-in-chief of a war zone after all, and he has seen a lot of strong winds and waves. He cleared his throat and said slowly into the microphone: "Ahem, officers and soldiers, brothers!"

Before Li Zongren could say another word, the straight line changed from standing at attention to straddling, neat and orderly.

Li Zongren was a little surprised by this new trick. Although it looked gimmicky, in his opinion, it was one of the concrete manifestations of a troop commander's ability to command the troop like his own.

Looking at the energetic faces in front of him, Li Zongren said in a deep voice: "Your first regiment directly under the third theater is a well-equipped unit with good combat effectiveness. In the next few days, you will fight with our first regiment." The troops from the fifth war zone are fighting side by side. Because your battle order has already been assigned to my fifth war zone. Now that the Japanese army is overwhelming the border, Jinan has declared its fall. You are all troops who broke out from the encirclement of Nanjing, but do you know? After you withdrew, the Japanese army carried out a brutal massacre of the surrendered troops and innocent civilians in Nanjing! There are countless casualties!"

Li Zongren's words were so loud that they hit the hearts of the officers and soldiers present like a sledgehammer.

The officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment all broke out from Nanjing, and the scenes that happened in Nanjing are still fresh in their memories.

For the officers and soldiers of the Zhiyi Regiment, they are very clear-if they hadn't met the regiment leader Zhang Tianhai, then they might all have to die in Nanjing, even if they surrendered, they would have to die. The officers and soldiers were stabbed for them.

It is precisely because of the same situation that we can empathize.

They could even feel the resentment in their comrades' hearts when they were massacred, and a surge of anger ignited from their hearts.

"We don't want to fight, but the butcher's knife is already on the neck of our Chinese nation. We don't want our relatives to be slaughtered, so we can only raise our guns. You must train well and obey the command of the commander. Take out your blood and courage, and fight the Japanese army to the death! Do you understand?!"

"Understood!!!" Underneath, the angry voice sounded like a bell.

……

During this inspection of the troops, Li Zongren discovered many things, such as the excellent weapons and equipment, and the murderous look on the officers and soldiers, which are not troops composed of recruits at all, and the degree of obedience of these troops to the regiment leader Zhang Tianhai , that is quite high.

Li Zongren had a hunch that if the first regiment directly under the third war zone could be used in the right position, its combat effectiveness might surpass the strength of the three regiments of the miscellaneous army.

What Tang Shengzhi sent was indeed a gift... Li Zongren couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I was sighing in my heart, but on the surface Li Zongren still said calmly: "Head Zhang, I am very satisfied with your regiment. Do you have any plans for your regiment at present?"

"To be honest, sir, we have three travel plans recently, and these three plans are all about reorganizing troops." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, and he was really happy about being praised.

"Oh? Three plans to reorganize the troops?" Li Zongren's interest came all of a sudden.

"The first one is to hold a short-term training class for company-level officers to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be steadily improved; the second is to wait for the artillery battalion issued by the Minister's Ministry, and then organize the troops to conduct infantry coordinated training; the third , I just want a platoon of student soldiers from the commander's department to serve as a reserve force for the reserve officers of the regiment headquarters." Zhang Tianhai's answer can be said to be very logical, but there is no concealment.

Upon hearing this, Li Zongren was overjoyed, and said, "You, you have a lot of ghosts, you can just tell me if you want the gun camp, and you made a detour to collect debts from me?"

Zhang Tianhai, who had been punctured, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Hey, I don't dare to be in a lowly position. You are an officer, and a soldier should take obeying orders as his vocation."

Li Zongren smiled and looked at Zhang Tianhai, who was taller than him but a bit shameless, shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, since Minister He intended this artillery camp, and I personally promised you, I will definitely not regret it. This artillery battalion will be transferred to your department in the afternoon. Just remember to receive it. As for the student army in the platoon you want, I can give it to you. Even, you can come to me , and then the military training station can choose it in person, the premise is that you must go all out when fighting."

"Sir, you are joking. Even if there is no special care from the sir, the humble staff will lead the troops forward." Zhang Tianhai assured, and he was sincere in this point.

"I believe you on this point. You can risk being shot and stay in Nanjing alone with a special agent company. Not to mention killing and injuring a lot of small Japanese, you also saved thousands of people. You are a qualified soldier. " Li Zongren said from the bottom of his heart.

"Officer Xie praised you. Zhang Yulin only acts from his heart. Since he is a soldier, he should be responsible for defending the country. On this point, the humble man understands better than many people." Zhang Tianhai is not self-effacing, but also Said without boasting.

"Okay. Now, Deputy Chief Li, Chief of Staff Xu and I are going back to the city first. You have to train hard. The war in the fifth theater has just ignited. All the troops are already rushing to Xuzhou. I send my best wishes to you. I have high hopes, and I hope that you will not disappoint my expectations, and that you can fight together on the battlefield and win the battle." After speaking, Li Zongren did not forget to pat Zhang Tianhai on the shoulder solemnly, his eyes full of respect and enthusiasm. expect.

"Yes, sir. I will definitely live up to the sir's expectations, lead a regiment of this army, and win the battle in the future!" Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and promised.

"Okay. Let's go back!" After finishing speaking, Li Zongren got on the horse and returned to the city with the chiefs of the chief ministers and the troops directly under him.

……

"Tuan Zuo, how are you doing? What did Chief Li say?" Zhou Fangjie, who had been waiting for a long time, ran up to ask after seeing the chiefs leave.

"It's okay, Commander Li wants us to lead our troops well, train them, actively prepare for battle, and be ready for battle at any time. In addition, the Commander has agreed to our request. The artillery battalion of our regiment will also arrive in our regiment in the afternoon. Mr. Li Let's get ready to accept it." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, for him, the task of these two days has been completed.

"Great, troupe, now we have a reinforced regiment of artillery battalion. May I ask how many troops in the national army can be as sophisticated as ours?" Guo Qiliang said with a smile beside him. , the tone is full of pride.

Obviously, Guo Qiliang is also full of hope for Zhiyituan's tomorrow.

"Since this is the case, we should be sincere and united, and do our best to do a good job!" Zhou Fangjie, as the chief instructor of this military training, saw his achievements being recognized, of course he was very happy happy.
