War of Resistance

Chapter 600 Soldiers to Mengcheng!

When the encirclement of the Japanese army was being tightened step by step, and when the high-level national army decided to fight the war to the end and prevent the Japanese invaders from succeeding in their plan, Zhang Tianhai was also taking the time to train troops.

The purpose is to bring the combat power of the first regiment directly under the third theater to the level before the Tangtou battle before the start of the battle of Lanfeng.

"Hey ha ha ha..."

The troops below were training desperately, Zhang Tianhai just put his hands behind his back, and then quietly watched the scene in front of him.

"Tuan Zuo, why don't you try to show your hands today?" The adjutant Wang Liang next to him asked Zhang Tianhai with a smile.

"Show your hands? Let's forget it. I won't be here for a long time. I'm afraid that my level will drop." Zhang Tianhai smiled. It's not that he didn't want to, but now he has no time to practice marksmanship again. up.

The most important thing is to focus on the combat effectiveness of the troops, and Zhang Tianhai alone, even if he is the king of soldiers, is probably not enough.

"You have been staring at this group these days, and it's been a long time since you have practiced marksmanship." Wang Liang's eyes showed a glint of expectation. The group's pistol skills are well-known.

This era is a troubled time, and I have a beautiful marksmanship, but it is more important than anything else - this is the foundation of my life... It is better to kill others than to be killed by others.

"You kid want to beat me?" Zhang Tianhai finally understood what Wang Liang meant.

If you don't have anything to do at ordinary times, you won't see this guy making this request. This is obviously because he wants to learn something.

For Wang Liang, a loyal and clever adjutant, Zhang Tianhai must teach him two skills, even if it is to teach him how to defend himself in the future, that would be excellent.

Well, the adjutant can sometimes play the role of a guard. After all, the adjutant is also someone who always follows the military chief.

"Of course, the pistol skills of Tuan Zuo dare to be ranked second in the group, but no one dares to be number one." Wang Liang's head is like smashing garlic. In the future, marksmanship will improve by leaps and bounds, at least saving one's life won't be a problem, right?
"You know how to flatter. Let's go outside the city?" Zhang Tianhai smiled.

"Dare to disobey." Wang Liang naturally obeyed.

……

Outside the city, it is the time when warblers fly and grass grows.

The grass on the ground is already very long, as if it wants to dye the whole earth green, and the birds are flying in the sky.

But the slight disadvantage is that these birds are rectal animals, and when they fly in the sky, they occasionally drop a piece or two of bird droppings, and those who accidentally recruit them will naturally curse endlessly.

Zhang Tianhai went out of the city this time, but he brought an officer and soldier from the guard squad with him.

The officers and soldiers of this guard class have changed from shotgun to cannon now, and they no longer need to rely on a pair of legs to follow the footsteps of Zhang Tianhai and others, but sit on horses.

The officers and soldiers of the security squad rode their horses to chase after them, and they looked a bit cool.

Well, at least Zhang Tianhai looks quite majestic at this time, quite like "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day".

At this moment, Zhang Tianhai was carrying a Japanese-made [-] rifle, and he took off the [-] rifle only when he was on the rise. He fired a shot into the sky, and immediately a lone goose screamed and fell down.

"Good marksmanship!!" Wang Liang took the lead and applauded, looking very happy.

"Wang Liang, why don't I teach you how to do it?" Zhang Tianhai held a rifle in his hand and looked at Wang Liang with a smile.

"Is it really possible?" Wang Liang's eyes suddenly brightened.

"You are my adjutant. How can you not learn some marksmanship well? This is a political task, and you must practice well." Zhang Tianhai ordered solemnly.

"Yes, yes, the humble job promises to complete the task." Wang Liang promised quickly, with an expression that looked like he had found a treasure.

……

Zhang Tianhai taught Wang Liang some general training methods and tips, and very generously gave Wang Liang three days off, the purpose is to practice marksmanship for him.

Seeing Wang Liang who was practicing very seriously, the shadow of Xu Sangou suddenly flashed in Zhang Tianhai's mind, so he asked, "By the way, Xu Sangou, what's going on recently?"

"He, how dare he make any noise. He has been honest recently. Being blocked by you in the kiln for such a time, anyone would be scared." Thinking of Xu Sangou's miserable state, Wang Liang felt in his heart A little hairy: It's a good thing that I don't have hobbies like Xu Sangou, otherwise I'd be so frightened, wouldn't I be wilted?
"Well... that's good, it's better to be a soldier honestly. If you get infected with AIDS and syphilis... that would be terrible." Zhang Tianhai nodded and said with great satisfaction.

"Um... Tuan Zuo, what is AIDS and syphilis..." Wang Liang asked timidly.

Zhang Tianhai wanted to explain, but it wasn't easy to explain, so he just didn't bother to explain: "It's nothing, it's just a disease, similar to Hualiu disease, very dangerous."

"Oh... I see..." Wang Liang scratched his head and answered with a vague understanding.

……

In the following days, Zhang Tianhai, in addition to handling regiment affairs, also began to serve as the instructor of the teaching platoon again, and once again gave lessons to the officers and soldiers who had been brought back by Gu Shi'an from the First Regiment of Xuzhou City Defense.

No one knows what is the plan in Zhang Tianhai's heart, what is the purpose of this teaching platoon...

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

On May [-], under the guidance of "the Japanese army will encircle Xuzhou", the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of the National Army was keenly aware that: Jin (Shanxi), Sui (Suiyuan), Han (Wuhan), Su (Jiangsu) ), Anhui (AH) and the enemies on the battlefields are gradually moving to the north and south sections of Jinpu in an attempt to encircle Xuzhou.

On this day, part of the enemy in the southern section of Jinpu Road invaded Hefei, and the Ninth Division assisted by Ji Jialiang and mechanized troops followed the Wohe River to press on Mengcheng, and were ready to attack at any time.

The enemy from Jining began to attack Jinxiang, Yutai, and Yuncheng, and some of the enemy troops had already crossed Weishan Lake and launched an attack on Peixian County.

For a while, Xuzhou shook.

Also on the same day, the enemy on the southern section of Jinpu Road divided into three routes to attack the north, split into two wings, passed through Lingbi and Mengcheng, and outflanked Su County.

To the south of Su County, the No. 20 First Group Army No. 40 Eighth Army of the Guangxi Army has been fighting the enemy for several days between the Fei River and the Hui River. county.

……

Mengcheng, No.20 First Army Frontline Command.

This day was the day when Zhou Yuan, deputy commander of the 40rd Division of the No. [-] Eighth Army, led the officers and men of the [-]rd Regiment to arrive in Mengcheng.

"Commander Ling, according to the report of Major General Zhang Zhongpei, the staff officer of the Group Army Headquarters, there are no trenches, bunkers or fortifications in Mengcheng, which we are going to defend, so we need to brave the enemy's artillery fire to build fortifications." Commander in charge Zhou Yuan, the deputy commander of this battle, said to Ling Yunshang, the commander of the [-]rd regiment.

At this time, the top of Mengcheng was covered with enemy planes, and these Japanese planes were frantically shooting towards the city of Mengcheng.

The atmosphere is very depressing!

Different from other places, Mengcheng is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Not only is the county town small, but also the city walls are thin, most of which are made of earthen walls, which can't stop the enemy's aircraft and artillery at all!
But these officers and soldiers of the Guangxi army had no choice. They received the order to stick to Mengcheng. Without the order, they were not allowed to evacuate without authorization!
So, from the very beginning, Zhou Yuan, Ling Yunshang and the others decided that they would fight the enemy here.

"Deputy Commander, our battle is probably a bit precarious... The troops of the [-]nd Division of the Seventh Army are coming from Fuyang and Guoyang. I'm afraid the day lily is already cold..." [-] The head of the regiment, Ling Yunshang, was obviously not particularly confident.

Especially after seeing the topography of Mengcheng!
Moreover, the Guangxi army of the regiment also fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders for more than [-] days in the Battle of Songhu. The sacrifice was undoubtedly very heavy, and it has not been completed yet!
"What are you afraid of? Right now, we still have a division of the Seventh Army guarding us. Maybe they can buy us some time." Zhou Yuan said with a serious expression.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult, but please rest assured, sir, there will not be a single deserter in my [-]rd regiment!" Ling Yun said seriously.

A very tragic battle to defend the city is about to begin, but at this time, the officers and soldiers of the [-]rd Regiment of the Gui Army did not know that it would be so tragic...
