Where is the security brigade in Pingjiang?

This sentence not only deceived Wu Yizhi himself, but also Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun - as the chief of staff of the theater, you don't even know where the security brigade is, how can we know?

They were angry in their hearts, but the person in front of them was a superior officer after all, so now Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun chose to shut up at the same time.

Well, don't say anything you shouldn't say. Villains often die from talking too much... even though they are not villains.

At this moment, Wu Yizhi suddenly reacted and shouted to the door: "Xiaomeng, come in!"

Soon, a tall young lieutenant walked in from the door.

The lieutenant strode up to Wu Yizhi, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, sir!"

Wu Yizhi did not return the military salute, but nodded and said: "Xiao Meng, go check and see which army was stationed in Pingjiang before."

I saw that Lieutenant Nameng did not turn around and leave, but replied loudly: "Sir, there is no need to check. It is a brigade of the 27th Group Army of the Yang Sen Department of the Sichuan Army stationed there. According to what Commander Xue means, the

The brigade stationed here is of a security nature and is deployed to prevent the Japanese 33rd Division headquarters in Tongcheng, Enan from escaping southward."

Sichuan Army? Yang Sen’s Department?

When they heard this word, Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun almost jumped up - the Sichuan army is not afraid of death, but its equipment is also quite poor, and its combat effectiveness is also quite weak... At this time, this unit will be temporarily returned to the war zone

If the security forces exercise restraint, isn’t this adding chaos? And it is adding great chaos!

Sure enough, before Wu Yizhi could say anything, Zhang Tianhai hurriedly said: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your kindness. I have to ask Commander Xue to take back the temporary control of the Sichuan Army by our troops..."

A huge drop of sweat flowed from Zhang Tianhai's forehead, as if he had made a huge decision.

"Oh? Take it back?" Wu Yizhi was obviously a little surprised that Zhang Tianhai, a person who usually would not violate the rules, suddenly interrupted at this time?

"Yes... that's it, Commander-in-Chief, since we are going to defend the Pingjiang area, our main task is to prevent the Japanese 33rd Division from moving south from Tongcheng. Our troops also have a guard nature... Oh no, our troops

I am a guard myself... Oh no, it is of a security nature. If I offend the friendly forces at this time, I... Oh no, I am really afraid that in this low-level position, it will affect the entire army..." In a hurry, Zhang Tianhai's words were all gone.

He became a little incoherent.

"Oh? Please tell me your reasons? How to offend the friendly forces?" A smile began to creep up the corners of Wu Yizhi's mouth, but Zhang Tianhai did not notice it.

At this time, it was Li Yinglun who stood up and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, it is already before the war. If this Sichuan Army brigade is temporarily placed under the control of our theater security forces at this time, will it be suspected of being a tiger borrowing a pig?"

"Continue." Wu Yizhi nodded with great satisfaction.

"The Sichuan Army is originally a force of local strength, not to mention that Yang Sen himself was born as a Sichuan warlord. In addition, our Central Army has always had the habit of annexing miscellaneous armies (ps: here specifically refers to the civil engineering department). If

When the war comes, I believe that they will not work hard, and if they betray our security forces on the battlefield, we will definitely die without a burial place." Li Yinglun analyzed calmly.

"Commander-in-Chief, I also agree with the Chief of General Staff's views." Zhang Tianhai at this moment is very similar to Zhang Fei in the 1987 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" who could only say "I am the same" when the three were sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

In fact, Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun have completely different ideas - in Zhang Tianhai's view, the Sichuan Army has poor military discipline, too many "double-gun" soldiers, extremely poor combat effectiveness, and its equipment is better than that of a beggar.

At that point, if he had to take care of them during wartime, Zhang Tianhai couldn't imagine how his troops would be dragged down.

(ps: A dog’s head saves his life here. The Sichuan soldiers were indeed very heroic when they came out of Sichuan, and the Sichuan soldiers did fight bravely and fearlessly. However, the inferior equipment and the existence of "double-gun" soldiers caused the combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced.

.What is a double-gun soldier? It refers to a Sichuan Army veteran who has a smoking gun, a native gun or a red-tassel gun.)

"What Ying Lun said is indeed reasonable. Now is the time to deploy troops. If this Sichuan Army brigade is under the control of our theater guard force, Yang Sen, the commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, will definitely think too much. No, I have to advise the commander.

Take it back." Wu Yizhi is a straightforward person, especially when it comes to Xue Yue's interests and his own interests, so he immediately walked out and walked to Xue Yue's office.

It was not until a while later that Lieutenant Meng, Wu Yizhi's adjutant, came over and said to Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun: "Two officers, Chief Xue and Chief Wu have invited you. Please come over immediately."

When they heard about this, could the two of them still hesitate? They immediately stood up, and Zhang Tianhai said casually: "Okay, we'll be there right away."

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked out of the door of Wu Yizhi's office.

…

After entering Xue Yue's office, Zhang Tianhai discovered that both Commander Xue and Commander-in-Chief Wu were looking at him and Li Yinglun with extremely helpless eyes.

"Report to Chief Xue, Chief Wu, and other subordinates are ordered to report for duty!" Zhang Tianhai said first, saluting at the same time as Li Yinglun.

"Both of you, sit down!" Xue Yue pointed casually. Obviously, he liked officers who could lead the troops to victory.

"Yes, sir."

Regarding this "second entry into the palace", it was obvious that both Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun were a little uneasy. They also did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the two officers in front of them.

Fortunately, the mystery was soon revealed.

Xue Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Neither of you understand what I mean. I asked you to temporarily take over the Sichuan Army Brigade. Of course I have my reasons."

Xue Yue didn't pause too much and continued: "Even you know that the Sichuan army has poor discipline and worse equipment. Why don't we know it? Pingjiang is a strategic location. If the Japanese army wants to capture the area south of the Xinqiang River,

position, we will inevitably advance towards Pingjiang, or even directly capture Pingjiang, in order to threaten the rear flank of our 15th Group Army, and ultimately achieve the goal of forcing our army to retreat. Let you go here, in addition to holding Pingjiang, I

I also want to use this to control the military discipline of the Sichuan Army. During this period, there have been a lot of complaints coming to me..."

After hearing this reason, both Zhang Tianhai and Li Yinglun were speechless for a moment, simply speechless.

"You can just go ahead and take care of it. Regarding Yang Sen, I will send him a telegram to make it clear. If Yang Sen is not easy to take care of, let us Central Army take care of it!" Xue Yue's tone was full of helplessness.

I admire the Sichuan Army's bravery and fearlessness, but at the same time I am very troubled by their military discipline... It's simply too bad...

…

ps: It’s very frustrating, and it can’t be updated until after twelve o’clock.
