The end of the Battle of Xuzhou does not mean that the war will end there.

After occupying Xuzhou, the Japanese army wanted to march westward. Therefore, Dangshan, which was guarded by Huang Jie's Eighth Army and Guo Chan's Ninety-Fourth Army, became the focus of the whole audience.

Speaking of the 94th Army, it traces back to its predecessor, Chen Tiaoyuan's unit of the Fifth Front Army of Sun Chuanfang's "Five Provincial Alliance Army". After surrendering to the Northern Expedition Army, the unit was immediately reorganized into the 37th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. However, due to various battles and the intentional compression of the National Government, the unit was finally reduced to the 55th Division and under the Pacification Office in Jiangxi.

Later, due to the war in the Nanjing Defense War, the war became tight, so the 55th Division formed the 94th Army with the Wuhan Security Brigade, and Guo Chan, deputy commander of the Wuhan Security Commander, served as the commander of the 94th Army. In addition, the slightest development, the commander of the 94th Army was barely forced to have more than 20,000 troops under his command.

But it was still the two main divisions of Huang Jie's army, plus the two divisions of Guo Chan's 94th Army, which were still not enough to see in front of the main army of the Japanese army.

Therefore, in the face of the critical situation of the absolute main force of the enemy in Xuzhou, the commander of the corps Xue Yue immediately issued an order to enter the combat state of the entire corps.

Soon, the "war beast" of the First Corps woke up and began to reveal its fangs!

...

Of course, the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone, as a combat unit of the 71st Army under the jurisdiction of the First Corps, naturally received a combat readiness order.

Now, the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone is busy.

Zhang Tianhai never thought that without Zhou Fangjie, his right-hand assistant, the regiment headquarters would be in such chaos.

Yes, right, it's just "chaotic".

To be more precise, it is panic!

The meeting was in a hurry, and the training was also in a hurry. Fortunately, Zhang Tianhai's professional quality was excellent, so he did not drag his feet on the training.

In short, after Zhou Fangjie left, Zhang Tianhai began to feel a little uncomfortable.

As for the group of officers drawn from the 87th and 88th Divisions, Zhang Tianhai first added the staff of the General Staff, and then threw the rest into the teaching platoon to act as the teacher of the teaching platoon, and also serve as the reserve officer and cadre force for the next stage of the Zhiyi Regiment!

Soon, all the officers and cadres of the regiment arrived. In addition to the school-level officers who were regarded as the backbone by Zhang Tianhai, officers from the regiment's direct team such as Liu Houming were also present.

Looking at the full-sitting formation, anyone can see the difference in this meeting. This is a meeting where the regiments are doing war mobilization!

This is Zhang Tianhai's habit. Before each war, he must gather the military commanders of these main troops in the regiment to give a lecture.

But this time, it was no longer Zhou Fangjie sitting on Zhang Tianhai's left hand, but Guo Qiliang, and Gu Shi'an on the right.

This time, all the three giants who are in the group have been replaced by students in the seventh class of Huangpu!

The officers in the two rows were still rehearsed in order by Li Chunfei, Battalion Commander of the First Battalion, Battalion Commander of the Second Battalion, Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion, Han Xingle, Battalion Commander of the Fourth Battalion, Battalion Commander of the Cavalry Battalion, Battalion Commander of the Artillery Battalion, Battalion Commander of the Artillery Battalion, He Jiye, Commander of the Political Training Section, Liu Houming, Commander of the Special Corps, Li Chengjie, Commander of the Engineer Company, Huang Dajiu, and Commander of the Xiaoyao Company...

The military chiefs of the eighteen military combat units, together with the three military chiefs in the first regiment, made the small meeting set on the side a little crowded.

"Everyone, I believe everyone is clear about the current situation. Yesterday, Liu Ruming's 69th Army had evacuated from Xuzhou. Xuzhou has been declared to be lost." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, very direct, without any slant.

After hearing this news, all the officers present looked shaking: they all knew what the regiments meant when they said this? This means that the highest military commander of the regiment was ready to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders.

"Everyone, you are all old men who have followed me, Zhang Yulin for a long time. I can tell you so clearly that this battle is more dangerous than any battle we have experienced before. It is just as far as one can be buried in the battlefield." Zhang Tianhai's voice was still extremely low, but anything could tell his firmness.

The people present were silent, leaving only the birds outside the window chirping.

Zhang Tianhai looked around everyone and saw that everyone in front of him had a serious expression. His expression moved slightly, and then stood up and said loudly: "You are all old people who have followed me for a long time. Logically speaking, even if I, Zhang Yulin, want to die, should never take everyone to the end. Now, I will give you two ways, one is to die with me in this battle to the Japanese army; the other is to withdraw from my third war zone's first regiment. I, Zhang Yulin, can guarantee that he will not be punished!"

Zhang Tianhai was very meaningful when he said it. No one would question his determination, because he has always been a person who can do it just by saying it. This is what the officers and soldiers all over the group know!

But what Zhang Tianhai never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, all the officers present stood up and almost shouted out: "I am willing to follow the group to kill the enemy and eliminate the enemy and die with the Japanese invaders!!"

What Zhang Tianhai did not expect was that He Jiye, the head of the Political Training Section, who had always shown "ignoring the world" and had only followed the rules, was actually among the people who stood up, and his expression was also very excited.

This meeting was not the same as before, nor was it the meeting in which Zhang Tianhai encouraged everyone to gain confidence in fighting the Japanese invaders.

And this time, Zhang Tianhai really has a desperate ambition!

He wants to go crazy for millions of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River!

Any collective or individual who prevents him from achieving this goal must be eliminated. This time, no mistake can be tolerated!

This meeting was not only a meeting where Zhang Tianhai wanted to show that he would fight to the end, but also a shot of all the officers of the Zhiyi Regiment was given to him - a heavy shot of the crazy actions he would do next!

If you defend a city to the death, or if the entire regiment follows him to disobey the order, such a thing will cause you to lose your head.

Zhang Tianhai does not expect everyone to fight to the end like him to protect the Yellow River embankment.

Because the people at this time were different from him, a time traveler. In the eyes of people in this era, the future is confusing, and it is the kind that can happen whatever happens.

Only Zhang Tianhai knew the best what would happen next. Originally, Zhou Fangjie, who knew his feelings, stayed in Zhiyituantuan headquarters, and Guo Qiliang, his best friend and old classmate, and his old comrade-in-arms, would not be a problem.

But now it’s different. Zhou Fangjie has been transferred, and now Gu Shian has become the chief of staff, Guo Qiliang has served as deputy commander, and the leadership team has been replaced, which means that Zhang Tianhai may not be able to turn the rank of the first regiment into his one-man show as before.

So, he must be fully prepared!

"Very good. I, Zhang Yulin, are here, so I thank you for everyone first and for the millions of people on the south bank of the Yellow River. In this battle, including my commander Zhang Yulin, I am already very dissatisfied with this battle. But I am a Chinese, and I am pure Yanhuang blood! I am willing to shed blood for this land of China. Everyone, after this battle begins, no matter what happens, you must obey orders! Even if you follow me, Zhang Yulin, to die, can you do it?!" Zhang Tianhai shouted loudly.

"Yes!!!" The officers who were in a group responded in unison, and their murderous aura shook the sky.

Only He Jiye frowned slightly: This wind direction is something wrong...

Alas, I can't catch up again, I can only be smart, it's too difficult for me...
