War of Resistance

Chapter 705 The Advancement of the Doihara Ken Second Division

Think, can't solve any problem.

The only usefulness is that it can guide a series of things that may happen next, and then make predictions in advance, that's all.

Zhang Tianhai forced a smile on his face and said, "How is the environment of this military court?"

Even though awkward chatting is embarrassing, under certain circumstances, it can also alleviate the awkwardness of the sudden quietness of the air.

"Compared with Kaifeng, it's probably worse! The Commander's Headquarters of the First War Zone has just moved there, and many conditions are relatively simple. It can't be compared with the former site of the Commander's Headquarters in Kaifeng." The captain said something.

That's right, the captain's position is the company commander, but because the troops he leads are of the nature of the security forces directly under the theater, and the weapons and equipment are very sophisticated, they are low-ranking and high-ranking.

If you observe carefully, Zhang Tianhai will find that in addition to the standard equipment of a Czech light machine gun in each squad, this unit is also equipped with a German-made MP38 submachine gun.

With such a firepower configuration, even Zhang Tianhai, who is used to seeing the big world, is a little jealous.

Although this kind of weapon configuration is nothing in front of the people's army with powerful firepower in later generations-but in this era, this kind of weaponry is indeed enough to greatly improve the firepower of this army!
If one or two grenadiers are added on this basis, this has almost reached the scale of a firepower reinforcement company. If used well, it can play a great role.

But, this is just if.

After hearing these words, Zhang Tianhai's heart sank slightly - if he was in the Commander's Department of the fifth war zone, he would be guaranteed to come out alive, but judging by the situation, this matter might not be so easy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart—didn't he put the first battalion in Lanfeng a long time ago?If the first battalion was there, they wouldn't be so passive.

As for the cavalry battalion, it can be used directly as an infantry battalion, and it is more than enough to beat people and Zhuang and Yang Guji.

However, there are so many ifs in life!

Some things, no matter how regretful they are, they can only be hidden in the deepest part of my heart.

……

The sky slowly dawned, and Zhang Tianhai was on the way, but the deployment of the Commander's Department of the First War Zone did not stop.

其实，在24日深夜至25日凌晨之时，蒋介石就电令第一战区第一兵团总司令薛岳指挥俞济时No.70四军、李汉魂No.60四军、宋希濂No.70一军、桂永清No.20七军由东向西，命No.17军团长胡宗南由西向东包围兰封、罗王寨、三义集、曲兴集一带的日军十四第师团，于五月25日开始进攻。

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also specially sent a telegram to warn the generals of the frontline troops: "The battle of Lanfeng is related to the entire situation of the Anti-Japanese War. The armies of Hu, Li, Yu, Guangxi, and Song should follow the tasks indicated by Commander Xue and serve their own interests." At 25:6 p.m. on the 30th, we will attack across the board. We must wipe out the enemies in the areas of Lanfeng, Sanyizhai, Lanfengkou, Chenliukou, Quxingji, and Luowangzhai before dawn on the 26th of tomorrow. Those who do not perform well in the front and attack will be severely punished according to the law; if they have made outstanding achievements in the battle or captured the most enemies, they will be rewarded. I hope that all the troops will obey and not violate it."

Yes, at this time, the regiment headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater has also withdrawn westward from Quxingji - the reason is that the main force of the No.14 division of the Japanese army, under the leadership of the division commander Kenji Doihara , has been reinforced to Lanfeng County.

After receiving reinforcements, the Japanese troops immediately launched a counterattack around Lanfeng in an attempt to control the villages and towns on the outskirts of Lanfeng County.Otherwise, Lanfeng's Japanese troops will not be able to deploy and will only be in a passive stage of being beaten.

What's more, Lanfeng County is so big. If they are besieged here, their artillery unit will be a living target. The heavy artillery that they used to be proud of will become a pile of scrap iron!
After the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese army immediately launched such a large-scale counterattack, which Guo Qiliang and others never expected.

Facing the menacing situation of the Japanese army, Guo Qiliang thought about it for a while, considering that the current situation of Zhiyi Tuan really could not afford such a big battle.

Therefore, Guo Qiliang ordered the troops to retreat.

In this regard, Gu Shi'an also asked Guo Qiliang why he ordered the troops to retreat.

Guo Qiliang just frowned and said: "Now the situation of all the troops is not clear. If we rush up at this time, we will definitely become a living target. If no reinforcements arrive, our regiment will be gone."

Regarding Guo Qiliang's concerns, Gu Shi'an also deeply felt the same: the phrase "once the emperor, one courtier" was not only used in ancient times, but also applies here.

Zhang Tianhai, who is regarded as a talent in various theaters, has been locked up. Who else can make this small regiment be valued by the theaters?

As for He Jiye, with Gu Shi'an or Guo Qiliang, who can command and understand this "uncle"?
But don't forget, He Jiye is the nephew of He Yingqin and Minister He. With such a backer, and he is also from Huangpu, he is the kind who refuses to accept anyone except Zhang Yulin. What can he do?

If not, could Zhang Tianhai appoint him as the chief of the political training department?It's clear, it's the kind of teasing whoever refuses to accept it.

If Zhang Tianhai goes to the military prison, neither Guo Qiliang nor Gu Shi'an will be able to be the head of the first regiment directly under the third war zone - the only person who can be in this position is He Jiye!
If you want to ask why, you can only say, could it be that He Yingqin and Chief He were full, and then let his nephew come down to suffer, and then his promotion was slow?

There is only one explanation!
That is, Minister He sent his nephew to the field troops to train, and after training to a certain level, he went to serve as the head or deputy brigade commander of a certain field force.

Needless to say, you can know what happened after that, and it must be a smooth rise.

If Zhang Tianhai really couldn't get out, the position of head of the regiment could only belong to He Jiye.

If the two of them refused to accept it, they would probably only be transferred to other units to serve as regiment commanders or regiment chiefs of staff, which they both did not want to see.

Leaving aside the issue of seniority, let's talk about combat capability. Where has He Jiye ever commanded a battle on the front line?It's just focusing on the training of the gendarmerie and the daily operation of the political training department.

Zhang Tianhai never imagined that since he himself was locked up, there would be such a situation - a group of arrogant soldiers, no one would obey the other.

That's right, in the half a year since Zhang Tianhai founded the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, unconsciously, he has brought out a group of arrogant soldiers who are extremely aggressive and fearless in battle.

As for the strong self-confidence in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment directly under the third war zone, it is also unmatched by other troops-because this kind of self-confidence is the self-confidence that can only be achieved after winning many battles!

But no matter what, this is the situation of the first regiment directly under the third war zone. They are gradually retreating under the leadership of Guo Qiliang, the acting head of the regiment!

PS: The first update is here!

Let me explain again, the previous chapter was the starting point and swallowed my word count, it wasn't that I didn't want to finish it on purpose...
