It's freezing outside, but the tunnel has good warmth retention capabilities, making it as warm as spring even without a fire.
Zhang Manna did not dare to take off her semi-rigid combat vest, nor did she dare to leave her weapons and equipment casually. However, the temperature in the tunnel was really too hot, so she had no choice but to quietly reduce the clothes under her military uniform.
This is good, at least it highlights her feminine features.
From Hansen's mouth, I learned that the German major who was thinking silently in front of the battle map was not only the "star of tomorrow" recognized by the German army generals, but also a bank robber who traveled across Europe, the major shareholder of a certain consortium, and the victim of
European girls welcome the nymphomaniac.
pity……
Commander Tang Seng of the Jinling Garrison Headquarters didn't seem to like him, and neither did the Chairman.
The former did not agree with him sticking to Niushou Mountain, while the latter wanted him to obey orders. Even this time, even the German Officer Advisory Group could not help him.
He reached out and took off his earphones, tore off the translated telegraph newspaper in front of him, and sent it to Zhang Sixing, who was sitting at the map table and thinking nervously.
Young, strong, rich, and even handsome are not among his advantages.
But this major...
On the battle map, Niu Shou Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain held by the 58th Division, Guanyin Mountain are still in the hands of the Guo army. They block the enemy's 114th Division and the 18th Division, but the enemy's Sixth Army and the Ninth Division have been blocked on both sides.
The group detours.
From a pessimistic perspective, Commander Tang Monk may have been right in asking the 58th Division and the Parachute School to retreat to the complex defense line.
However, it can be seen from the combat map that Zhang Sixing seems to prefer to form a strong force with the 88th Division and the 60th Army to go to Niushou Mountain to attack the enemy's 6th Division from the side and rear.
Even if the Grand Victory Pass cannot be recaptured, the enemy's Sixth Division can still suffer bone-shattering losses.
However……
Some felt aggrieved for that tall, majestic figure. What she held in her hand was an order from the German Officer Advisory Group, General Falkenhausen.
There was only one sentence in the entire telegram, asking Zhang Sixing to obey the order from the Jinling Garrison Headquarters.
I don’t know what those senior officers are thinking. It is clear that the Japanese Sixth Division is actually trapped between the Yangtze River and Niushou Mountain. As long as the complex position in front can hold it, a surprise force from Niushou Mountain will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.
A heavy blow.
Even I can understand this matter, why can't you officials understand it?
Stepping lightly to Zhang Sixing's side, she straightened her body as much as possible, showing that her waist was like a cluster of peaks. Zhang Manna's voice was as gentle as possible, and she could be more gentle if the officer in front of her needed it.
"Sir, I received the order from the officer corps..."
Zhang Sixing, who had been looking at the map, stretched out his arm. He really didn't understand that there was an obvious good opportunity to attack the enemy's Sixth Division from the flank.
Because the Sixth Army's goal is Yuhuatai, taking advantage of the fact that the Sixth Division has not yet cut off Niushou Mountain, it is a good opportunity to secretly send troops forward and then launch an attack quickly.
pity……
From early morning, he observed that the Dashengguan defense line was lost. He sent a telegram requesting to mobilize troops. It was rejected just before noon. He was also asked to immediately take the remaining troops of the Parachute School to Yuhuatai to assist the Gaozhisong Brigade of the 246th Brigade of the 88th Division.
Long moderation.
He casually took the telegram handed over by Zhang Manna. Zhang Sixing only glanced at it and said nothing. He just balled up the telegram manuscript in his hand. Then he heard from Zhang Manna the news from Feng Fa, the 58th Division.
,
"Sir, the 56th Division sent a telegram telling us that they were ordered to quickly withdraw to Jinling City through Yuhuatai and serve as the reserve team of the 74th Army..."
This is to remove the covering troops behind the northeast side of Niushou Mountain. Then the troops of the Paratrooper School will never be able to defend Niushou Mountain.
In fact, the pressure to defend Niushou Mountain is not great. The diversionary attack of the enemy's 18th Division is fundamentally not very powerful. If Zhang Sixing wants to break out, he only needs to use war horses and armored squadrons at night, plus elite rapid attacks.
Responding to the guard camp is not too difficult.
"Sir, let's, let's obey the order. Although... but if you don't obey the order, it's really..."
Hansen was holding a cigarette in his mouth. When he spoke, the cigarette bounced in front of his lips and danced with the sound.
From the very beginning when people from the paratrooper school were mobilized to participate in the Battle of Jinling, everyone understood that it was just the Chairman of the Generalissimo who was beating the enemy. The beaters included not only Zhang Sixing, but also the German officer corps.
After all, as a staff organization, it is a bit taboo to have troops directly under its own jurisdiction.
But all soldiers also understand that if they really need to establish a paratrooper school according to Zhang Sixing's wishes, and then train elite non-commissioned officers according to his methods and fill them into other units, this will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of any unit.
The sergeant is the mother of the army, and excellent soldiers are the multipliers of ordinary soldiers' combat effectiveness.
If Zhang Sixing just applied to the Chairman of the Committee and then established a paratrooper school according to the Chairman's instructions, then...
This is called knowing how to behave. A warrior like him who can fight will definitely become the most popular person in front of the Chairman.
"Call the battalion commanders here. It seems it's time for us to make a choice."
Soon, five battalion commanders, Cao Zijin, Guan Shijie, Lu Feizhang, Xue Xishan, and Li Shixian, arrived in place. Before announcing the order, Zhang Sixing said to several people very seriously,
"Can't our meeting be long? Half an hour. I'll talk about the general situation first, and then arrange other work."
When Zhang Sixing said that no matter "Commander Tang Seng," the Chairman of the General Assembly or the German officer corps, the paratrooper school must obey the orders of Commander Tang Seng, the fiery-tempered Guan Shijie was the first to curse,
"What a fool! Commander Tang Monk is out of his mind. If he had followed the commander's plan, why would everyone be surrounded in Jinling City together?"
"Thieving his ancestors won't do a good job. The same goes for the 58th Division. Leading them to attack at night, they get prisoners and get credit, but if something happens, they can't be used by anyone. What the hell...
"
Everyone looked ugly, but Cao Zijin thought about it and said,
"Sir, we only have more than 3,000 people. We are definitely unable to fight back alone, let alone the Japanese 18th Division in front of the mountain. Coupled with the withdrawal of the 58th Division on the flank, there is no guarantee for the flank front. We are afraid..."
Lu Feizhou and Li Jixian didn't speak, they just exchanged glances, and then looked at Zhang Sixing, waiting for his order.
After several battalion commanders figured out the current situation, Zhang Sixing said,
"Captain Guan Shijie, Captain Cao Zijin, your rifle battalion left with me. After we left, the three battalions of Lu Feizhou, Battalion Commander Xue, and Li Jixian pretended to be defeated when the 18th Division attacked, and then closed the tunnel and continued to fight unless necessary.
Don’t take the initiative to come out of the tunnel to ask for a fight.”
Several battalion commanders looked at each other. When they dug the tunnel before, they all thought it was to prevent Japanese shelling and bombing. But now they are trapped in the tunnel. What if they can't fight back with Zhang Si Xing?
On the other hand, Lu Feizhou seemed to have unlimited confidence in Zhang Sixing. He put his feet together and said,
"I promise to complete the mission. As long as I, Lu Feizhou, are here, the Niushou Mountain Tunnel will belong to the Paratrooper School. We are always waiting for your order to counterattack."
