War of Resistance

Chapter 343 Transfer?

For Zhang Tianhai, he didn't require the special agent company to be as fierce as those special forces units in later generations. He just wanted to train this company to be stronger, and then put the special agent company into battle at critical moments.

Because the No.20 Second Army of the Sichuan Army fought effectively on the front line, the main force of the Japanese army on Jinpu Road was temporarily stopped in Zouxian County and Liangxiadian area of ​​Shandong Province. The smoke of the war did not cover the sky over Xuzhou for the time being.

Although the war has not come to Xuzhou for the time being, Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, is not in such an optimistic mood. The Sichuan army can still hold on, but the pressure is definitely not small. Once the Sichuan army suffers heavy casualties and is unable to fight again, That's troublesome.

In the Operations Hall of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone.

"Chief of Staff Xu, what's the situation with Zhang Tianhai's regiment?" Li Zongren, who was immersed in studying the battle plan, suddenly raised his head and asked Xu Zuyi.

"I went to inspect it once before. They were doing a big training for the whole regiment. It seemed to be very impressive. They also organized some kind of confrontation training for the main battalion." Zu Yi said truthfully.

Li Zongren smiled and said: "This Zhang Yulin is really a restless master. I think it is better to transfer them to Lanling County. This is located in the northeast of Taierzhuang, and it is very close to LY. Now Jinpu Line In the direction of Zou County on the front, Deng Xihou's Department of the No.20 Second Army of the Sichuan Army is here to support it, and Pang Bingxun's Third Army is also attacking Mengyin, which is very close to the front line."

"However, is it too close here? First, Zhang Yulin's regiment is the essence of our army. Positional warfare and defensive warfare can be handed over to the Sichuan Army and the Northwest Army. Moreover, they are just a small reinforced regiment. , the whole regiment has no more than [-] combatable soldiers, with such a small number of people, as long as the Japanese army launches a fierce attack, they may not be able to survive for a day?" Xu Zuyi didn't quite agree with this opinion.

Xu Zuyi is not only the chief of staff of the fifth war zone, he has also served as the director of the Wuhan branch of the Central Military Academy, so he also knows how difficult it is to train these qualified officers, especially those who are directly under the first regiment of the third war zone. For this kind of troops, the deputy battalion commander and above are all graduates of the Central Military Academy. It is not easy to be a unit of this level.

Like the deputy battalion commander of the Zhiyi Regiment, if he is placed in the Northwest Army and Sichuan Army, he must be at least a deputy commander.

It is precisely because after the start of the Anti-Japanese War that the shortage of various grassroots officers expanded, and a large number of qualified grassroots officers died on the battlefield, this also created the phenomenon that the shortage of officers in various elite troops increased.

So Xu Zuyi does not agree with Li Zongren's approach. This kind of elite troops must fight at critical moments. If it is now placed on the front line to fight positional warfare, isn't it a waste?

Li Zongren shook his head and said: "Let's listen to my analysis, Chief of Staff Xu. Now that the Japanese army is not progressing smoothly, they will definitely increase their troops across the board in the future. The Japanese army in the south of the Jinpu line (that is, the Central China Japanese army) has already gone north to Bengbu. There is no doubt. , Their strategic intention is to open up the Jinpu line and occupy Xuzhou."

Before Xu Zuyi could speak, Li Zongren went on to say: "The next step is that the Japanese army in North China will inevitably increase their troops to Mengyin, Zouxian, and LY areas. The location of Lanling is not dangerous. The only advantage is that it is close to the front line. When the time comes, it can be thrown into battle."

"Forget it, such an arrangement is fine. After all, if the battle is urgent on the front line, it is a good thing to have such a regiment, but my suggestion is to have time to mobilize a large number of troops with strong combat effectiveness to the vicinity of LY. , just relying on their small reinforcement group is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket." Xu Zuyi sighed.

Li Zongren nodded and said: "Well, but it's not in a hurry now, let's see how the situation is. Now the battle in the southern section of the Jinpu line is very urgent, we should have some reserve teams in hand. In addition, Zhang Zizhong came to me last time , I want us to transfer his troops to the battle order of the Fifth Theater, and this time the southern section of the Jinpu Line is in a hurry, I am wondering whether to take this opportunity to bring their troops to our Fifth Theater.”

"You can try it. It is more difficult to get the Central Army now, but it should be possible to get the Northwest Army, not to mention that the southern section of the Jinpu Line is in an emergency. The Central Committee will not refuse." Xu Zuyi said.

"Well... then let's make a decision like this for now!" Li Zongren nodded and said.

……

Liangxiadian, this is an inconspicuous village, but at this time it has become a point of repeated contention between China and Japan. It can be seen that the fighting situation is as great as the Luodian battlefield of the Songhu battlefield.

Of course, just because it looks like it doesn't mean it's as intense as the Luodian battlefield.

The Luodian battlefield was carried out under the cover of the combined artillery fire of the Japanese army, army, army and air force, and the opponents were old standing divisions such as Fujita Susumu's third division. These standing divisions were equipped with artillery regiments and the Japanese navy The key patronage of the aviation bomber formation is naturally extraordinary.

The No.20 Second Army's Sichuan Army was no match for the Central Army Adjustment Division on the Songhu battlefield, and the Japanese [-]th Division was also no match for the [-]rd Division, which was strengthened by air force bombers and artillery.

You know, the 13th Division belongs to the second-class division, and it is even newer than the No.13 Division of Dizhou Libing. After all, the No.[-] Division still had a set of teams before it was rebuilt. As for the [-]th Division, even the candidates for the division commanders are all temporarily arrested, so it must be incomparable.

As for the artillery, the [-]th Division only needs one artillery brigade to be strengthened, and even the cavalry brigade has not been fully assembled. There is only one cavalry squadron, so it won't be a big deal...

Ever since, a phenomenon appeared. During the day, the Japanese army desperately attacked Liangxiadian, and at night, the Sichuan Army brothers with rifles in their hands and steel knives on their backs defeated the village of Liangxiadian and the nearby positions. Yes, the fighting situation is not so fierce.

"Damn Ge, this son of a bitch is really carrying it, bombing his father's head with that cannonball every day, it's really, unworthy descendants. These fools are really, are they saving some money for their wives and children to eat?" Okay? You're the one with the back of your head, you deserve your wife to cuckold you." Yin Weiwei cursed angrily in a strong Chengdu accent, even though his fingers were already red from the cold, it didn't affect him in the slightest when he "greeted" to the other side The interest of the little devil's family.

The officers and soldiers stationed at this position are the officers and soldiers of the 20th Regiment of the 40rd Brigade of the [-]th Division of the No. [-] Fifth Army of the No.[-] Second Group. The brigade commander Lu Jiqing personally issued an order.

Yin Weiwei has been fighting since the attack on the two stores where the Japanese army was stationed on the [-]th. He is the commander of the third battalion of the [-]th Regiment. Due to the failure of the sneak attack led by his troops on the evening of the [-]th, Yin Weiwei has been recorded. Bigger than once.

The weather on the battlefield was extremely cold, and the snow was dancing. In the vast white snow, there were also the screams of Japanese artillery bombardment.

"咻~~Boom~!!!"

"咻~~Boom~!!!"

A round of artillery shells hit the frozen soil fiercely, and the fragments of the shells were picked up in all directions with the frozen soil thrown up.
