War of Resistance

Chapter 823 Wang Jingjiu enters the city

When the troops of the No.20 Ninth Army and the No.60 Fourth Army and the Japanese army saw back and forth on the front line, Zhang Fakui, the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps of the Ninth Theater, had already led the troops into position gradually.

The first to enter the city is Wang Jingjiu's No.20 Fifth Army. Compared with the arrogant appearance when he clashed with Zhu Shaozhou in Luoyang, Wang Jingjiu has become much calmer.

As the highest-ranking military officer in Jiujiang County, Zhang Tianhai naturally had to go out to meet Wang Jingjiu's army.

At this time, Wang Jingjiu was riding a tall horse slowly into the county town, his still young face was full of seriousness.

Zhang Tianhai was standing at the very front of the welcoming team. He glanced over and found Wang Jingjiu, who was leading the horse, and his rank shining with golden light on Wang Jingjiu's collar badge.

Zhang Tianhai guessed who this person was right away, and he immediately stepped forward and stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Mr. Wang! Delegate of the humble rank, the troops stationed in Jiujiang County, welcome the arrival of the officers!"

Wang Jingjiu gently lifted the brim of his military cap, still looking at Zhang Tianhai proudly, and said, "Thank you, you are here to welcome me, and my No.20 Fifth Army. This time, my troops The purpose of entering the city is to fight against Japan, so I invite you to join us in fighting against Japan and advancing hand in hand.”

Wang Jingjiu's words seemed to be very offensive words, but the arrogance in his expression was unprecedented.

Perhaps, this has something to do with his long-standing position as the commander of the Ace Army.

Since entering the army, Wang Jingjiu has been an officer of Chiang Kai-shek's security forces. Whether he is the commander of the First Guard Brigade or the commander of the No. 80 Seventh Division, this is the trump card of the trump card!
It is precisely because of this that Wang Jingjiu is so arrogant. If not for this, how could he have conflicts with Luoyang Commander Zhu Shaozhou?
It should be noted that Zhu Shaozhou has always been a big boss in the Baoding Department, even though he is usually relatively low-key.

Since he was transferred from the post of No.70 First Army Commander, Wang Jingjiu has learned from the painful experience, and he has restrained a lot in this aspect of arrogance and domineering.

It turned out that this so-called arrogance was only aimed at big shots who were at the same level or even higher than him.

Officers like Zhang Tianhai who are only colonels are naturally out of his sight.

What's more, Zhang Tianhai belongs to the ninth war zone, while Wang Jingjiu belongs to Gu Zhutong's third war zone.

No matter in terms of seniority or level, they are much higher than Zhang Tian, ​​so naturally there is no need to be too respectful to Zhang Tianhai.

"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly after paying a military salute.

For Zhang Tianhai, this military salute is not for Wang Jingjiu, but for the No.20 Fifth Army, because they will have to fight the next tough battle!
Whether the troops of the No.20 Fifth Army can hold on will be directly related to the victory or defeat of this Jiujiang defense battle.

As for units like Sun Tongxuan's No.12 Army, Zhang Tianhai never counted on them.

It's not that Sun Tongxuan's troops from the Shandong Army can't fight or something, but because this army suffered too heavy losses during the Xuzhou battle, and it must not be like Zhang Tianhai and the others when they were replenishing the rear. These central army units also receive the highest priority and the best replenishment.

It is precisely because of this that there will inevitably be a lot of influence on combat effectiveness, which is not what Zhang Tianhai wants to see, but the fact is so cruel.

Sun Tongxuan's troops can't be counted on for the time being. Li Hanhun's No. 20 Ninth Army Corps is now in a fierce battle with the Japanese army. After the Hukou battle, there may not be many soldiers to fight.

So Zhang Tianhai sees it very clearly, the only ones who can really count on are Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army and Wang Jingjiu's No.20 Fifth Army, and finally Huo Kuizhang's Fourth Army and Peng Shan's No.11 Division!
It is said that the king of Hades is easy to provoke, but the imp is difficult to deal with.

From Zhang Tianhai's point of view, Wang Jingjiu has undoubtedly been included in the group of little ghosts.

Moreover, Wang Jingjiu is still a "little ghost" with considerable strength.

Although Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Second Corps of the Ninth War Zone, has a high status, it is still difficult for these arrogant soldiers of the Central Army to listen to him. The only one he can command is Wu Qiwei. The fourth army.

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai is even more unwilling to offend Wang Jingjiu because of some trivial things at this stage. Who knows if he will do something like what Li Tianxia did later?
In daily life, if you can not offend others, try your best not to offend others, let alone in this stage of war.

Seeing that Zhang Tianhai did not show any expression of dissatisfaction, Wang Jingjiu nodded slightly and said: "At this stage, my No. 20 Fifth Army headquarters is temporarily set up in Jiujiang, and a division of our army will drive to Xingzipu Before your regiment receives an order from the Second Corps Headquarters or the commander-in-chief of the war zone, your department will temporarily be under the command of our department. Are you willing to obey the order?"

Faced with Wang Jingjiu's somewhat excessive request, Zhang Tianhai didn't say anything else, just nodded, and responded loudly: "The humble officer resolutely obeys the command of Chief Wang! The command of Chief Wang is the upper-level unit of our Central Army. I should Obey the order!"

Wang Jingjiu nodded slightly, put away the domineering expression on his face, nodded very seriously, and said: "Okay, let's do this first! Now the large troops are about to enter the city, Commander Huo The Fourth Army will soon come to Jiujiang. Your department will be ready for handover at any time. If Commander Huo’s troops take over your position, you must immediately give up the position and wait for his troops to garrison.”

"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Tianhai responded loudly.

"The troops are entering the city!" Wang Jingjiu lightly waved his horsewhip, his face full of composure - because his other division was already stationed in Xingzipu!

Seeing Wang Jingjiu's leaving back, Guo Qiliang approached Zhang Tianhai, and said softly, "This Whampoa first-year student is really arrogant..."

"Not really, take a look at our teacher's seat, how can anyone be so arrogant?" Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"It seems...you are also very dissatisfied with this guy, swallowing your anger, this is not your style..." Guo Qiliang sighed.

"Did you take me for a fool?" Zhang Tianhai turned to look at Guo Qiliang with a resentful face and said.

Hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Guo Qiliang pretended to be shocked, and then said with a face full of surprise: "How is it possible?! Anyone in our regiment may be a fool, but only you, Captain Zhang, can't be a fool." , the whole group knows about this, how could I treat you as a fool?"

"Then you're still thinking that I'm going to have a conflict with Chief Wang Jingjiu? We, with small arms and legs, can twist his thighs?" Zhang Tianhai looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling that people are really not old-fashioned. Do we want to Starting to adjust the division of work within the regiment...

The point is, Guo Qiliang actually doesn't take him seriously anymore.
