Tian Zheng and Wang Zilu discussed with Song Zheyuan the policy plan for the battle. It was not until two o'clock in the morning that the reconnaissance battalion sent out by Tian Zheng found out the deployment of the Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops gathered this time had more than 30,000 troops! There are also a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in it. And this batch of tank armored vehicles is obviously different from the previous batches, it seems that it should be a new model with a strengthened thickness of steel plates. It may be because the previous batches of thin-skinned Peeding tanks have realized that it is difficult to withstand the blow of the rocket artillery of the 54th Army, so this batch of tanks was directly replaced with a new model, just to block the attack of the rocket artillery of the 54th Army! After all, it was also seen when the Japanese army fought with the 54th Army in the past. Although the rocket artillery of the 54th Army is very powerful, its armor-piercing ability is very insufficient! This time, the Japanese army changed to tanks and armored vehicles with thicker armor, and the role of rocket artillery of the 54th Army was suppressed to a minimal!

Tian Zheng frowned when he heard this. This Japanese army has changed from the Japanese army in history. In historical records, it was only after 1942 that the Japanese army began to drop thick armored tanks on the battlefield in China after receiving donations and support from the United States for weapons, which gave the country the ability to destroy the Japanese army's thin-skinned tanks! Tian Zheng also knew this historical time, and originally thought that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the 54th Group Army would have the opportunity to grow and develop, and then obtain various mineral resources, so as to produce various types of armor-piercing warheads and more high-end weapons and equipment. But I never thought that because of the change in the situation on the battlefield due to his crossing, the War of Resistance had just broken out, and it had already prompted the Japanese army to start assembling thick armored tanks in large quantities! And his research on armor-piercing warheads is still in the plan of the Liaocheng Research Institute, and the plan to produce armor-piercing bullets is still two years later!

"It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven! My crossing has begun to show the ability to change history! Correspondingly, I don't have the ability to anticipate the development of history! The road ahead. It's going to be harder! However, correspondingly, it will also be broader! Tian Zheng said secretly in his heart.

"The Japanese army has gathered heavy troops this time. There are also tank units, artillery units and aviation units. The pressure on the frontal battlefield will be enormous! So this time. Our army will fight on a frontal battlefield. And Huangcun is the battlefield chosen by our army! When the time comes, as soon as the frontal battlefield starts, the troops on both flanks of your army will act as a pindown! Although the Japanese army divided your army into two, if our army can block the pillar on the frontal battlefield, then the advantage of the Japanese army will become a disadvantage in a blink of an eye, from the original sword to the turtle in the urn of our two armies! Tian Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness. Song Zheyuan also nodded excitedly, "What Commander Tian said is very true!" In this way, if we attack from three sides, we will inevitably make the Japanese army suffer a big loss! ”

Tian Zheng nodded. But there was a hint of solemnity on his face. "Commander Song, please be careful. Although our two armies will have an advantage in formation, we must be prepared for air defense and anti-artillery bombardment! The officers and men of your army are all brave men, and it would be a pity if they died in the fire of the Japanese army! ”

Song Zheyuan nodded heavily. Tian Zheng knew that he had listened. On the position, Song Zheyuan will inevitably ask for more air defense cat ear holes. The most effective and inexpensive thing on the battlefield is the cat's ear hole in the trenches. This is the only artifact to avoid large-scale aviation shells and artillery shells!

Agreed on the battle plan with Song Zheyuan, and informed their respective radio codebooks. As a means of contact, Tian Zheng sent a telegram to Yan Shisan, who was carrying heavy troops behind, and asked him to leave a communication platoon in the Song Zheyuan military headquarters as a preparatory means of communication between the two armies in a special period. After that, we rushed to the vicinity of Huangcun at full speed!

Around five o'clock in the morning. Tian Zheng with the vanguard guard regiment and reconnaissance battalion had already arrived near Huangcun. By the time the reconnaissance battalion quickly figured out the surrounding terrain, the 162nd and 127th Divisions had also arrived at the place. Without superfluous words, Tian Zheng and the officers held a short military meeting, and immediately the troops began to deploy their defenses. Everyone didn't have too many words, Tian Zheng had a calm face, and said a word to everyone solemnly, "This time the Japanese army is prepared, our army may face the most tragic battle since the war with the Japanese army, please work hard, and at the same time take care!" ”

Subsequently, Tian Zheng comprehensively summarized the information brought by the reconnaissance battalion and the information brought by Song Zheyuan's department, and distributed it to the commanders of various units. It points out in detail the difficulties that may be encountered in this operation!

"There's only so much I can do! After this battle, I don't know how many soldiers will be left in my 54th Army? Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing wanted our army to resist the gap and consume strength, but our army could not shrink the Japanese army to the ground! Unexpectedly, only after a short time apart, without anyone persecuting this time, our army had to plug this gap, just for the sake of the 40,000 Li people of Huaxia! Tian Zheng looked at the white belly of the fish that was about to turn up in the sky, and there was a dignified color in his eyes.

Wang Mei, who was quietly standing behind Tian Zheng at this moment, was wearing a clean and tidy Red Army uniform, with short braids, like a beautiful elf. In her eyes, Tian Zheng at this moment has an indescribable heaviness. Wang Mei knew that this was Tian Zheng's sorrow for the upcoming war, and his sadness for not knowing how many comrades-in-arms would be about to leave. Because such a feeling had also appeared among other generals of the Red Army before, Wang Mei knew.

"After the battle starts, you return to Liaocheng with the baggage troops!" Tian Zheng didn't look back, but he said it in a solemn tone.

Wang Mei frowned, "Why do you want me to go back to Liaocheng?" I am the liaison representative of the Red Army stationed in your army, where is you Commander Tian, where is your military headquarters, then I will naturally be there too! ”

Tian Zheng frowned, "Nonsense!" You must follow the baggage troops back to Liaocheng! ”

Tian Zheng's tone turned sharp. Tian Zheng, who turned his head, stared at Wang Mei tightly with an angry look.

Wang Mei's heart was as uneasy as a bucket of water. This was the first time she saw Tian Zheng's angry expression. Tian Zheng has always been calm and kind, where did Wang Mei see Tian Zheng's angry hair at this time? At this moment, Wang Mei's heart was a little confused and moved for a moment.

"Isn't it true that even you are not sure of winning this battle?" Wang Mei's voice came out shallowly.

Tian Zheng frowned. was about to speak, but saw Wang Mei turn around and leave, leaving a sentence floating in the wind before leaving, "I will obey Commander Tian's arrangement and return to Liaocheng with the first batch of baggage troops!" Thank you Commander Tian for taking good care of you! ”

Tian Zheng relaxed his frowning brows at this time, and returned to his usual calm and confident demeanor.

Because Tian Zheng deeply knows the importance of morale in a battle! Even if he is indeed as Wang Mei said, he is no longer as usual, and he is sure of winning the battle, but his face is still rippling with a confident smile! This self-confidence seems contagious. Let every officer and soldier of the 54th Army be able to get great confidence! He Tian Zheng is the soul of this army! It is the spiritual pillar of this unit! As long as Tian Zheng shows a confident smile, then everyone in this team will have the confidence to win!

Around half past six in the morning. Zhao Qilong, the 162nd Division, who was deploying the first line of defense in Huangcun, breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the position that had been urgently arranged in front of him. On the one hand, he continued to ask the officers and men to inspect the positions and strengthen the fortifications, but on the other hand, he called the military headquarters one kilometer away to report on the construction of the positions.

Later, the 127th Division also called, saying that the position had been constructed. Tian Zheng asked them to each strengthen their fortifications and be ready to fight at any time.

At this time, Tian Zheng raised his eyes to look at the sky in the distance. The sun is already angry. At about half past seven in the morning, the Japanese troops thirty miles away still did not make the slightest movement. The reconnaissance battalion in charge of reconnaissance did not return any information.

"Why hasn't the little devil done it yet? Could it be that Commander Song's plan failed? Chief of Staff Wang Zilu said to Tian Zheng.

Tian Zheng waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let the soldiers rest on the spot for a while after dinner!" After a long journey all night, the soldiers have not closed their eyes until now, and it is time to rest for a while! All the preparations are in place at the moment, and the only thing we can do is to be patient and have full confidence in Commander Song! ”

At half-past eight, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance! Immediately the reconnaissance battalion sent a telegram with only four words: Everything is normal!

Seeing these four words, Tian Zheng's face showed a reassuring smile!
