War of Resistance

Chapter 782 The Battle of Hidden Hills
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai must take it seriously no matter what his considerations are.

After the meeting of middle-level cadres of the whole regiment, Zhang Tianhai directly entered the stage of work arrangement.

In the final analysis, in any case, the normal operation of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone must continue.

Cheng Jifeng, Yang Jiquan, and Luo Shi'an officially became the battalion commanders, and Li Yinglun officially took the post of Chief of Staff of the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone.

Everything is moist and silent.

……

When great changes were taking place within the first regiment of the Ninth Theater Guard, Zhang Tiannan seemed to have finally figured out how to go about his future.

Zhang Tiannan went to Zhang Tianhai's regiment headquarters early in the morning and wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Tianhai, saying that he was going to the Central Military Academy.

Indeed, Zhang Tianhai was not usually surprised when he heard the news—what made Zhang Tiannan, a veritable rich young master, change so much?No, the day before yesterday I was still dying and didn't want to go to the military academy, why did I suddenly become enlightened today?

But no matter what, it was finally enlightened.

"Brother, I'm really going to take the military academy exam now, do you have anything to tell me?" Zhang Tiannan glanced at Zhang Tianhai, he really hoped that Zhang Tianhai could give him some good advice.

"I don't have any particularly good suggestions. The only thing I have is to learn the skills and serve the motherland!" Zhang Tianhai said meaningfully.

At this time, Zhang Tiannan packed his bags and equipment and was about to go out. Obviously, this was not a hasty decision to leave.

Finally, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but asked him: "Boy, I want to ask you what made you change your mind so suddenly?"

I saw Zhang Tiannan smiled and said: "I've thought about it carefully, and my elder brother is right. I don't have any skills, and I don't have any skills. If I go to the battlefield, I can't beat anyone. The only thing I have is this body knowledge. I have to use what I have learned to serve my country.”

"If you think about it now, you can do it. If you are a soldier, you will be a deserter halfway through. From now on, don't see my old Zhang's door. The old Zhang's family can't afford to lose this person!" Zhang Tianhai said At the time, he was quite serious, and what he said was the truth.

He, Zhang Tianhai, is a dignified Chinese soldier. Even if he fought to the end, he never had the idea of ​​admitting defeat. If his younger brother became a deserter, he would really feel ashamed!

"Brother, I understand, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." A smile appeared on Zhang Tiannan's thin face. This was the first time that the elder brother he admired had such a serious conversation with him.

This shows what?This shows that the eldest brother no longer treats him as a child.

"Now you know how to apply for the Central Military Academy?" Zhang Tianhai asked the most critical question.

"Brother, don't worry, I can still figure out this trivial matter, I have already asked my sister-in-law." Zhang Tiannan said with a playful smile.

"Since you already know, let's go while it's still early. By the way, do you still have any money here? If not, I'll give you some more!" Zhang Tianhai walked in I went to get money for Zhang Tiannan in the room where I lived.

Although Zhang Tiannan is not Zhang Tianhai's real younger brother strictly speaking, Zhang Tiannan is also the only younger brother in his life.

And it is undeniable that he is the kind of brother who is related by blood.

Now that this life is doomed, Zhang Tianhai also wants to treat his only brother well.

"No need, brother. My parents have already given me money, and I have enough money. Besides, I am a teacher myself, and I have some accumulated savings." Zhang Tiannan hurried to stop Zhang Tianhai's behavior.

I saw that Zhang Tianhai was not moved by it at all. After entering the room, he took out some money and handed it to Zhang Tiannan.

"This is already your brother's greatest ability. I still need some money to support my family, and I also need some money for daily expenses. Here is twenty oceans, so take it well! Although the money is not much, But as long as you save some food expenses for two months, it can still be solved. But the poor family is rich, I hope this little money can help you a little bit!" Zhang Tianhai's tone was very sincere, and he also knew that Zhang Tianhai Naturally, Nan's temper will always encounter some difficulties or troubles.

If it's in Wuchang city or in the three towns of Wuhan, if Zhang Tianna gets into trouble, it's okay to mediate.But if he left the three towns of Wuhan, he would sound like a bluff as the head of the regiment, but after all, he would be beyond his reach.

Looking at Zhang Tiannan's leaving back, Zhang Tianhai was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he murmured: "My little brother, no matter what, I, as a big brother, hope that you will be successful and become famous in the future. People from our old Zhang family will never It's the thing in the pool."

Zhang Tianhai is a very pure person. He hopes that his younger brother can serve the motherland, and he also hopes that his younger brother can rise to the top without incident and live until the victory of the War of Resistance.

……

The days that followed were simple and pure.

Apart from tidying up and training the troops, Zhang Tianhai focused on the three newly appointed battalion commanders and Li Yinglun, the new chief of staff.

The iron-clad facts proved that the three battalion commanders sent from the war zone had extraordinary professional abilities, and their training in leading troops on the battlefield was not in vain, and they could even be said to be good hands.

If these three people were not from the original No.13 Army, Zhang Tianhai would have used them very much, and they were not at all wary - after all, under his command, they were all used by talents.

But it was precisely because these three were from the original No.13 Army that she had to be wary.

Those who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

Zhang Tianhai deeply agrees with this sentence.

Therefore, in the next few days, he was very seriously observing the usual style of these people and so on.

The results that can be obtained are quite satisfactory-these newcomers are all doing their duties seriously, and there is no such thing as holding a private meeting or going out for a drink , not even a hint of it.

……

While Zhang Tianhai was still busy packing up his troops, the battles in the east of Hubei and west of Anqing were still going on, and the fighting was exhilarating.

After occupying Anqing and Hefei, the Japanese army continued to march westward, directly attacking Qianshan County west of Anqing.

Responsible for the garrison, here is the No.20 Seventh Army Yang Sen's Department of the Sichuan Army.

Yang Sen also knew that Anqing was lost, and the Japanese army would definitely not let it go so easily, and would definitely launch troops to carry out continuous attacks.

Qianshan County to the west of Anqing will inevitably become the number one target of the Japanese invaders.

So on this day, Yang Sen mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to dig trenches and build fortifications here.

This number one position is Hengshan Ridge located in Yuantanpu, Qianshan County.

At this time, Hengshanling was in full swing.

Tens of thousands of people are digging trenches and building fortifications here, in order to resist the advance of the Japanese army to the west.

Anqing is not far from Nanjing. The tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre has already spread throughout Anqing, including Qianshan County under AQ City.

Most of the soldiers and civilians in Qianshan County stepped forward and spontaneously responded to the call, just to prevent the Japanese army from harming their homes and killing their families!

"Please hurry up, everyone, Little Japan will move very fast! We have to hurry up and build the fortifications before they arrive, and they will have nothing to do with us!" an ordinary officer who spoke Sichuan dialect drummed Morale.

"Sir, don't worry! We all know how to measure it. You are all risking your lives to defend our homeland. How can we not work hard?" An ordinary citizen said loudly.

"Okay, then let's defend against the attack of these damn little Japanese together! Haha!" the Sichuan Army officer laughed loudly, then squatted down again, and started smoking his big cigarette.

The Sichuan Army's tradition of "two-handed soldiers" has a long history, and it cannot be changed overnight.

Hengshanling, this is not a very high mountain, but a mountain with a chessboard-like terrain. At the same time, this will also be the nearest passage for the Japanese army to enter the buried mountain westward.

That's why Yang Sen regards this place as the most important position.

In order to defend this place, he even sent the [-]st, [-]rd, the number one main division under his command to station here!

After a series of bloody battles, there were not many remaining troops in the Sichuan army. What's more, the troops here already accounted for nearly one-half of the No. 20 Seventh Army.

The entire front is designed for fifteen miles from Gaojiankou Dongshan to Fengshuling, ready to meet the Japanese army advancing westward.

The headquarters of the [-]rd Division was in Maple Ridge.

Yang Hanyu, the commander of the [-]st, [-]rd Division, had a serious expression on his face. Obviously, he had already received the news that the Japanese army was about to march westward.

"Our Sichuan Army's equipment is so poor, and so is its combat effectiveness. How can we keep this front?" Yang Hanyu murmured, his expression not a little relaxed. It was obvious that he didn't have much hope for holding this front.

"Teacher, it is true that our situation is not very clear this time. But as long as we rely on the terrain and block the Japanese army for two to three days, it should not be a problem." Chief of Staff Jin Yungu persuaded Yang Hanyu. Still read a lot of things.

"Hopefully, even if we lose all of our [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions. We have to hold on to this front. If we keep retreating, the little devils will have to attack us in Sichuan. The scorched-earth war must not be An empty talk!" Yang Hanyu spoke with a strong Sichuan accent, and said very firmly.

"Right, I think so too. Little Japan wants to fight, we will fight to the end, let them see how powerful our Sichuan army is!" Jin Yungu said in a deep voice, seemingly full of infinite confidence.

It has indeed reached this point, is there any room for retreat?Whoever retreats will die!
The best example is Han Fuqu, the former commander-in-chief of the Third Army.

……

In the early morning of June 27 in the 11th year of the Republic of China, the Sakai detachment based on the No.[-] Brigade of the Japanese Army arrived at Gaojiankou near Huanghetang.

The No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army is the Sixth Division affiliated to Inaba Shiro, and the brigade leader is Tokutaro Sakai, so this detachment is called the Sakai Detachment!
As a backbone force known as the Beast Force, the Sakai detachment can be said to be menacing. After arriving at the battlefield, it immediately launched a very fierce attack on the assistant's Sichuan Army troops in the Gaojiankou area.

The sound of guns was rumbling, and the Japanese army, under the command of Tokutaro Sakai, used the not-so-strong artillery fire to start shelling Takaokou.

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!"

There were about four or five artillery pieces, and artillery bombardment was launched at the same time.

One after another shells drew traces in the air, and at the same time made a burst of screaming sound.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

With the sound of shells exploding, the ground of the Sichuan army was suddenly turned upside down, and the unlucky soldiers of the Sichuan army fell directly into a pool of blood.

Some of them may never be able to stand up again, but those who are still alive in the pool of blood are still crying in pain: "Mom...I want to go back to Sichuan..."

In normal times, this may still be a wish that can be realized, but this time it is a war, and they were injured again.

Perhaps, they will never be able to return to Sichuan, the hometown where they were born.

Even those shouts are full of longing.

They no longer expect to return to Sichuan alive, they only hope that they can return to their roots.

That's it.

"Everyone hide well, everyone hide well, don't come out to fight now, wait until the little devils attack! Don't waste our bullets!" The grassroots commanders of the Sichuan Army were about to tear their eyes apart, but they had no choice but to fight. Maybe it was waiting for the little devil to attack in front of him before he could launch a counterattack.

Who made them poorly equipped?Who made their equipment so poor?All they have is their enthusiasm for serving the country, even if they die, they must defend the land of China.

The Chinese nation has always been a nation that will not bow its head like the invaders!Even if they are driven to a desperate situation, they will definitely be reborn in the end!
……

The Japanese bombardment did not last long, because the shells they had brought were not enough.

After all, they set off in a hurry, not to say that they brought a lot of artillery for support and so on.

Compared with the scene when the "wealthy" Doihara No. 14 Division attacked Lanfeng, the strength of the Sakai detachment is indeed not enough.

Perhaps, they encountered the first regiment directly under the third theater in its heyday, and they might not be able to win yet.

But what they faced was the Sichuan army with very poor equipment.

They may not win if they bully the ace troops in the national army, but if they want to bully the troops of the Sichuan army, that is of course not a problem.

After the shelling stopped, Sakai Tokutaro immediately pulled out the samurai sword in his hand, and swung forward vigorously: "The first brigade! Attack forward!! Oyster sauce chirping!!!"

Under the order of Sakai Tokutaro, these "beast soldiers" from the Sixth Division charged forward frantically.
