War of Resistance

Chapter 798 Rectification?

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness." Zhang Tianhai said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Let's do this! In the next few days, you just need to train your troops well. I will try my best to give you some time. If necessary, I will give the order again." Although Chen Cheng is not tall , but the momentum emanating from him should not be underestimated.

Maybe it's a big shot, they all have this kind of calmness, or the calmness of a mountain collapsed in front of them without changing their expressions.

"Thank you, sir! I will definitely lead the troops well and make all positive preparations for defeating the Japanese invaders in the future!" Zhang Tianhai assured in a deep voice.

……

A week passed quickly, and it didn't take long before June 27, 24th year of the Republic of China.

A week is not too much, and it is not too much. It has been a whole week since Chen Cheng inspected the troops last time.

During this week, Zhang Tianhai, Guo Qiliang, and Li Yinglun, the two main officers of the regiment headquarters, paid close attention to implementation, and put a lot of effort into training.

Under the leadership of these three people, the entire First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone has a new atmosphere.

The results that the entire leadership team has paid attention to are undoubtedly very significant and effective.

At least the entire army is going on around the theme of "big training".

However, what surprised Zhang Tianhai was that Li Yinglun, the new chief of staff, didn't give him face or do other uncooperative things.

Zhang Tianhai didn't think he was so good, but thought that since they were already in the army, they should fight to defend their home and country. If Li Yinglun didn't make trouble, he could ignore the latter.

After all, the most important thing is to be able to cooperate with each other when the enemy is at present.

This morning, Zhang Tianhai called Guo Qiliang and Li Yinglun into the meeting room again, and was about to start a morning meeting. He was also accompanied by his adjutant Wang Liang, who was in charge of summarizing the meeting minutes and so on.

"Everyone, I called you here again today because I wanted to hold a brief summary meeting." Sitting in this small meeting room, Zhang Tianhai said straight to the point.

"Through this week's strengthening of training and focusing on training, our regiment has achieved relatively excellent results in all aspects. Now I want to focus on the current shortcomings of our regiment and make a summary. Two, if you have any comments, Just ask directly." After speaking, Zhang Tianhai cast his eyes on the two people in front of him.

Guo Qiliang and Li Yinglun looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Soon, Guo Qiliang took the lead and said: "Tuan, I probably have a more detailed understanding of the current situation. First of all, it is the issue of the supply battalion. The supply battalion is the only logistics force of our regiment. It is Assuming a relatively important responsibility, but their soldiers are also relatively lack of training, especially in the training of the troops and the training of firearms. "

Guo Qiliang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Also, in the companies directly under the regiment headquarters, do we have lower training requirements for them than other troops? In this regard, I think we still have to Their daily training was arrested."

When Guo Qiliang was speaking, the adjutant Wang Liang who was on the side was full of flamboyant writing, and quickly recorded his words.

"I'm done. It's your turn, Chief of Staff Li." Guo Qiliang looked at Li Yinglun with a smile.

"Okay. Then let me briefly talk about the problems I found. If there is anything inappropriate, please raise it with the two officers!" Li Yinglun sorted out the documents in his hand, and then began to talk.

"After a series of observations during this period, I found that we still lack some things in training. For example, what we mainly conduct now is physical training, and we still don't have enough manpower to invest in basic military qualities. I said It's over." Li Yinglun put forward a point of view while avoiding the seriousness.

After carefully listening to the opinions of the two military chiefs, Zhang Tianhai finally spoke after careful consideration: "I have also thought carefully about the opinions put forward by the two chiefs. Let’s sort out these existing problems in a systematic way. First of all, make an arrangement for the insufficient training of the supply battalion and the troops directly under the regiment headquarters raised by Deputy Head Guo. In my opinion, the supply battalion’s The training and the training of the troops directly under the regiment headquarters can be fully grasped. However, as for the military literacy issue raised by Chief of Staff Li, I am afraid that there is not so much manpower to solve it for the time being, and it can only be made up later."

"Do you two have any more specific questions? You can ask them now. We can find out and solve the problems in time. That's the best." Zhang Tianhai looked at the two people in front of him once again. .

"The problems I have discovered can only be raised so much for the time being, and no matter how many more problems are raised, we don't have the manpower to supplement them. The whole regiment is now focusing on the construction of training, and there are too many problems and goals raised. If there are too many, the people below may not be able to complete it so quickly." Guo Qiliang said bluntly, without beating around the bush at all.

"Then is there anything else you need to add, Chief of Staff?" Zhang Tianhai turned his attention to Li Yinglun again.

"Reporting to the group, I have nothing to add. And I think that what Deputy Head Guo said is also reasonable. Now our goal should be to improve the combat effectiveness of the grassroots troops. The Japanese invaders will not die. They will definitely launch Fighting in Wuhan, if our regiment cannot complete the set training goals before the Japanese army launched the Wuhan operation, then it will be very troublesome." Li Yinglun also said bluntly, after so long dealing with him, he seems to have discovered Zhang Tianhai. Advantages.

What are the advantages of Zhang Tianhai?Probably because he doesn't like to listen to those fake words, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks. He is a very pure soldier who just wants to do his best to win glory for the country, that's all, and he doesn't have too many complicated thoughts.

It was precisely because Zhang Tian belonged to this kind of person who didn't have a lot of fighting thoughts, so Li Yinglun and Zhang Tianhai got along relatively well. After all, there was no fundamental conflict between the two.

For people like Zhang Tianhai, he only thinks about how to prepare for the War of Resistance without too many complicated thoughts. He welcomes people who are fighting against Japan, but if they are not effective in fighting against Japan, they still want to shirk and argue , then don't think that head Zhang is a ruthless person, or something like that.

It is precisely because you have seen through what kind of person Zhang Tianhai is that you all respect and admire him.

After all, in this era, there are very few people who simply want to contribute to the resistance against Japan without seeking promotion.

When it comes to Zhang Tianhai, why he can achieve this level is actually very simple, because he knows which faction the final victory belongs to.

It is very unrealistic to blindly pursue promotion and promotion. Anyway, his goal is to drive the Japanese out of China as soon as possible.

He may not know what other people think, but it must be his own.

Zhang Tianhai has always thought that he can go back to the era of the Republic of China. God must want him to contribute his own strength to this suffering nation.

The iron hooves of the Japanese army have gradually stepped into Wuhan. It won't be long before this big battle will start, especially his [-]st regiment of guards in the ninth theater. This is a unit directly under the theater. If it really hits Wuhan, Don't they do their part?
"Okay, then let's move on to the next agenda! A few of us have to come up with a training plan for them to implement in view of the current problems. If Zhu Shaohong, the director of logistics, alone makes the estimate It is still a bit difficult, after all, he is now in charge of the logistics work of the entire regiment, and the tasks are heavy, and many things have to be done very carefully, so it may be a bit difficult for him to come up with this plan." Zhang Tianhai He directly expressed his opinion.

"I agree with the idea of ​​group buying. We need to come up with a plan as soon as possible. As for how to formulate this plan, I would like to seek the opinion of Chief of Staff Li. It is the strength of the staff department to come up with opinions and plans, so I won't make it up. It's getting lively, let's listen to Chief of Staff Li's opinion first!" Guo Qiliang said very politely.

"Since Deputy Commander Guo has already said so, then our staff department will take over this job, and we will strive to come up with this plan before tomorrow." Li Yinglun finally expressed his views and so on. , usually he is the type of person who speaks less at meetings.

"Okay, then let's proceed with the process of this work now!" Zhang Tianhai made the final decision.

"Our regiment now has more people and more troops. But our management seems to have become more bloated. Our regiment now counts the infantry combat battalion plus the cavalry battalion. There are already six battalions here. Troop strength, there may be a problem of disordered battle order during the battle, and if I raise this issue now, will it be too late?" After Guo Qiliang thought for a while, he finally said it out.

When talking about this matter, Zhang Tianhai remembered that his old subordinate Lu Shaojie was still in the hospital.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Shaojie was injured, Zhang Tianhai really wanted to temporarily appoint Li Chunfei as the commander of the first echelon in the regiment, and Lu Shaojie as the commander of the second echelon, that's all.

But now Lu Shaojie is still in the hospital, and the wound has not healed. If the commander of the second echelon is appointed at this time, then when Lu Shaojie returns, there will be no place for him.

Generally speaking, Zhang Tianhai is still a good man, especially a good old man. When it comes to selecting and employing people, he still sticks to his consistent style - if your ability is comparable, then he must be nepotism of.

"This matter can be put on the agenda, but we have to wait, now is not the time." Zhang Tianhai tapped the table lightly with his index finger, as if to conceal his inner unhappiness.

Li Yinglun and Guo Qiliang looked at each other, and they could understand the meaning in each other's eyes: on this matter, I am afraid that the group has already had ideas and arrangements, and if I raise it again, it may not make much sense. Let's see if they have any unresolved issues.

……

After a detailed discussion, they also seemed to feel that there was no urgent problem to be solved.

Zhang Tianhai thought about it and felt that he still needed to go and see Lu Shaojie, an old subordinate. After all, Lu Shaojie was also a person who followed him from the 30th Regiment of the No. [-] Sixth Division. He was also very brave in the front line , you should take a look anyway.

"Driver, drive right away and go to Wuhan Army General Hospital!" Zhang Tianhai instructed the driver directly after leaving the house.

"Yes! Group seats!" After the driver responded, he quickly started the car and took Zhang Tianhai to Wuhan.

……

While Zhang Tianhai was busy visiting his old subordinates, the Japanese army in the east was not idle, they were still planning how to take down the Madang Fortress.

Tens of kilometers southwest of the opposite bank of Anqing, east of Madang Town, Xiangyu Town.

Different from the situation a few days ago, the appearance of Xiangyu Town at this time can be said to be greatly changed. Why do you say that?

The reason is that, in addition to the fact that this town has become more dilapidated, it has changed from the original red flags of the national army to the dog-skin plaster flags of the Japanese army.

Obviously, this place has been captured by the Japanese army.

It was the Hata detachment led by the captain of Hata Shige's team that won here.

The time starts from five days ago——

After taking Anqing, Hata Shigeichi led the troops and marched all the way to the southwest on a warship.

However, when marching to the Madang Fortress, the Japanese troops stagnated.

what is the reason?The reason is that the water surface is covered with a large number of mines, and there is the Madang Fortress, a first-class defense fortification prepared by the National Government to build a lot of money.

This first-level defense fortification built by the national government is not just as simple as a formula, but more importantly, it is equipped with a large number of artillery.

These artillery not only made it impossible for the Japanese army's mine-laying ships to carry out normal mine clearance, but also made the Japanese army's warships a living target.

So in desperation, the Japanese army had no choice but to change their marching route, from traveling by water to traveling by land.

Just when they changed to march by land, Shigeichi Hada received an important piece of information from the special high school: the garrison of Madang Fortress, Li Yunheng, commander of the No. 16 Army of the National Army, organized a two-week anti-Japanese military and political university, More importantly, in order to highlight the importance of this anti-Japanese military and political university, Li Yunheng directly required all officers at all levels of the army to undergo training.

However, Li Yunheng, Commander Li, ignored it: he is not here at the rear, but at the front, and he is openly training officers at the front, and he is an officer at all levels in the entire army. Isn't this nonsense?

With a very keen sense of war, Shigeichi Hata immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity: he had to win a base near the Madang Fortress, waiting for the appearance of a fighter.

Ever since, Hata Shigeichi immediately led his detachment and captured Xiangyu Town, more than ten kilometers away from Madang Fortress.

The wind gently blew the dog-skin plaster flag of the Japanese army, and it was blowing like a hunting sound for a while.

The leader of the Hada detachment, Hada Shigeichi, stood on a small high ground outside the town, looking at the surrounding scenery, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University of the Chinese Army may be coming to an end, and I feel that we must seize the time to take down the Madang Fortress." The chief of staff next to him made a good suggestion.

"No, the time has not come yet. If the time comes, there will be information from the special high school. Since they can pass on the news that the Chinese Army defenders will carry out this so-called 'Anti-Japanese Military and Political University', then they It must be able to pass other information to us. For example, their graduation time!" Shigeichi Hata narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a reasonable explanation.

At this time, Hata Shigeichi was more like a very experienced hunter, he was waiting for his prey to show their weaknesses, and then hit hard!
Only in this way can they win in one fell swoop!
……

While Hata Shigeichi was waiting for the national army to show its weakness, Li Yunheng had already started holding a "graduation ceremony".

There were many gentry and celebrities off the stage, and officers of the No. 16 Army at all levels were waiting for him to speak.

Li Yunheng, who was already in his 50s, was in high spirits at this time. He looked at the people in front of him, and said slowly: "Everyone, today is the graduation ceremony of our Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. I very much welcome the participation of fathers, old folks and folks. The existence of an anti-Japanese military and political university is even more meaningful! The purpose of the existence of the anti-Japanese military and political university is to improve the military literacy of our military officers at all levels so that they can lead us to continue to defeat these evil little devils until we can get rid of these evil The little devils are driven out of our land!"

Li Yunheng's speech can be described as impassioned and exciting. The officers and soldiers in the audience, including these country gentry and celebrities, all responded to his speech one after another and burst into warm applause.

Seeing such a lively scene, a smile appeared on Li Yunheng's slightly aged face: The Anti-Japanese Military and Political University he organized is absolutely not wrong. Don't you see that many people support it?
However, Li Yunheng said that what he didn't notice was that there was a pair of furtive eyes staring at him.

After a while, this furtive figure disappeared, and no one noticed his disappearance or arrival.

After this sneaky figure disappeared, a telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Super High School in North China.

After receiving this very precious and important information, the Special High School did not hesitate to take it with it, and immediately forwarded it to the Headquarters of Ha Tianzhong's detachment in Xiangyu Town, Central China.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, there is an urgent call for the special high school!" A Japanese combat staff officer hurriedly ran to Hata Shigeichi, and handed the note with the special high school information to Hata Shigeichi detachment leader.

Bo Tianzhong didn't panic, but slowly opened the note. After reading it, he immediately said: "Gather all the troops immediately and attack the Madang Fortress!"

Under the order of the detachment leader Hata Shigeichi, the brigade from the Taiwan garrison immediately assembled the whole army, and then began to set off for Xiangyu Town.

Their goal is to win the Madang Fortress and make the greatest contribution to clearing the obstacles to Wuhan!
The mighty Japanese army, under the transportation of trucks or motorcycles, immediately marched towards the Madang Fortress at full speed, and in their view, this is the best time for them to take down the Madang Fortress. This time, they may not have such a good time!

Therefore, the goal of the Japanese army this time is to win!
