War of Resistance

Chapter 824 Arrangement
Naturally, Wang Jingjiu did not come to the city to pretend to be coercive.

After he entered the city, he was indeed preparing for the War of Resistance.

Including the garrison situation of the troops, etc., they all have a very detailed understanding, and it can even be said to be clear.

But within two days, Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Second Corps, brought his troops to Jiujiang County.

Together with Zhang Fakui, Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army and Huo Kuizhang's Fourth Army also arrived.

These tens of thousands of troops assembled in Jiujiang County, and immediately squeezed this small county, which is not considered a big city, to the brim.

Zhang Fakui is not such an idle person. After arriving in the county, he immediately organized a meeting of these officers above the division level. Except for the commander of the division stationed at Xingzipu, who did not have to rush back, they all gathered in the small city defense headquarters. A meeting was held in the conference hall.

As for the content of the meeting, Zhang Tianhai has no way of knowing, after all, he is not able to participate in meetings of this level.

So now, how far has Zhang Tianhai's troops been reduced?Probably it has become a security force, and it is a veritable security force. Apart from guarding the city defense, it is basically out of his turn to intervene in other things.

Even his position in front of the Meijiazhou Bridge was taken over by troops from the Fourth Army.

"Old Zhang, our army has been suppressed to such an extent now, how can you bear it?" Guo Qiliang couldn't see it, so he interjected.

In fact, he is not the only one who thinks this way, even Chief of Staff Li Yinglun also thinks so.

As soon as the troops arrived, the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth War Zone became much more passive in terms of camp and garrison.

"Otherwise, what can we do? Pull up your posture, and fight with the No.20 Fifth Army, or fight with the Second Corps?" Zhang Tianhai reprimanded Guo Qiliang, and it is better not to say so much about some things, although he Zhang Tianhai was indeed unhappy in his heart, but he would never say it so easily.

Some things are said, but they can't be taken back.

Hearing what Zhang Tianhai said, Guo Qiliang was a little speechless—yes, even if he was as strong as Zhang Tianhai, there was nothing he could do about this situation.

"Right now tens of thousands of troops are squeezed into the small area of ​​Jiujiang County, and we have three battalions of troops who have already entered the mountain. If we don't obey the order, we will either be dismissed, Either be transferred to the rear, there is no third possibility. Now is the most critical juncture of the War of Resistance. Our army has mobilized millions of troops to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army. If we delay, the result will be yours. I understand, so I don't need to say more." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice.

That's right, at this time Zhang Tianhai was standing at the head of Jiujiang City and said exactly what he was saying.

The wind from Poyang Lake gently hit Zhang Tianhai's face, Zhang Tianhai didn't seem to be moved by it at all.

"Old Zhang, I understand what you mean now. Shall we...do we need to make some follow-up preparations?" Guo Qiliang asked.

"No need, we're ready for the worst." After speaking, Zhang Tianhai pointed in the direction of Mount Lu.

Yes, in Zhang Tianhai's view, his worst plan was to take his troops into the mountains and face the Japanese army across the mountain.

Of course, if the Japanese army exposed its weaknesses, he would definitely not let it go.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Guo Qiliang said helplessly, perhaps because he was already used to it, and he was in the same position as before.

Compared to when they were valued in the Fifth War Zone, or when they fought under Song Xilian, Commander Song, at that time, whether it was Li Zongren or Song Xilian, they all had one characteristic in common—that is, Zhang Tianhai liked Zhang Tianhai. military talent.

But it's different now, the old chief who trusts him here, and the chief who appreciates him are not here, so if you are a tiger, you have to lie on your stomach, and if you are a dragon, you have to coil yourself!

"Wait! It won't be long before there will be a big battle. Don't be too happy. At this stage, you can only relax a little bit. When the Japanese army comes to Jiujiang, you are afraid that there will be no little devils to kill. That's hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers..." Zhang Tianhai frowned slightly, and his expression was not overly optimistic.

For example, in the morning, Wang Jingjiu was the one who went out to meet the commander-in-chief of the Second Corps, Zhang Fakui, and Zhang Tianhai's troops were not used. Even Zhang Tianhai was not sent to meet Commander-in-Chief Zhang.

It is conceivable that among the 10,000+ army, how insignificant his thousands of people seem.

Even if Zhang Tianhai's army has [-] soldiers, he is still a regiment commander, not a division commander, and his political status is still somewhat inferior.

"From this point of view, you are not very optimistic about the Cantonese troops on the front line." Guo Qiliang said.

"I was not very optimistic about them all the way. Now they have more soldiers, and they may be able to survive, but when the casualties start to increase, they may not be able to survive." Zhang Tianhai analyzed, "Look Wait, wait until the Cantonese troops start to retreat, and then this little devil will start attacking Jiujiang. At that time, Hukou Town may not be able to hold on..."

"Hukou Town, you can't hold it? No. 20 Ninth Army, isn't there a No. 70 Army here? Although the No. 70 Army has only one division, at least it can carry it, right? "Guo Qiliang has seen the military appearance of the No.70 Army, so he still has a certain amount of confidence in the No.70 Army.

"Look! The army is defeated like a mountain, this sentence is not just a talk. Let's see what will happen in the future." Regarding the memory of the Jiujiang Defense Battle, Zhang Tianhai has no memory, but from his intuition and military common sense Generally speaking, the Japanese army must be able to take Hukou.

Only after taking Hukou Town can they reach Jiujiang County, and only after defeating Jiujiang County can they continue to Wuhan.

If they can't fight Jiujiang, there will be no Wanjialing battle later.

It must be known that the opponent of the national army in the Wanjialing battle was not the powerful enemy in front of it-the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army headed by Matsuura Junrokuro.

The [-]th Division of the Japanese Army came from Kyushu. The folk customs of Kyushu have been strong since ancient times. In addition, there are many steel factories here. Most of the soldiers of these reserve divisions also come from these steel factories.

The unique sturdy folk customs, coupled with the fact that these steel workers are already strong and have a certain combat effectiveness, make the [-]th Division much stronger than other reserve divisions.

If not, how could Lieutenant General Ningji Okamura, the commander of the No.11 Army, use them as the main force?
It should be noted that it is not the Sixth Division of the Reserve Division, but Okamura Ningji and others are known as the "First Elite Division of the Empire".

From Zhang Tianhai's point of view, if their troops were not sent to the battlefield at the first moment, they would still be able to fight against this army.
