Chapter 189: Garrison Jining
The soldiers who entered the city, seeing the enthusiasm of the people on both sides of the road, everyone's hearts were very happy and proud, and some soldiers even began to have a slight smile on their faces. His steps were stronger, more neat, and his chest was taller.
Several high-ranking officers of the Sixth Infantry Division riding in the off-road vehicle, including Chu Tianming, were all excited, but they did not expect that the 36th Group Army had such a high status in the minds of the people. What a pride to be a senior officer in this unit.
Increasing everyone's sense of pride is one of the purposes of Zhang Yunfei's ceremony to enter the city.
The whole ceremony of entering the city lasted for more than an hour, and after entering Jining City, Zhang Yunfei, supported by Chu Tianming and other officers of the Sixth Infantry Division, came to the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry, but now this place has been cleaned up by the soldiers.
The little devil sun flag hanging on the wall has been taken down, and the signboard at the entrance of the headquarters has also been taken down, and it is difficult to see some traces of the former little devil headquarters.
This headquarters is still relatively large, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Little Devils has basically not been destroyed because of the hasti retreat, so it has been sorted out a little, put up some radio stations, and then hang the signboard of the 36th Group Army at the door, and then it can be worked.
Zhang Yunfei took a look at the command center, and already had a plan in his heart, here, it will be used as the headquarters of the cavalry division, and the garrison of the cavalry division will be moved from Fengzhen to Jining, Jining is located on the prairie, which is more suitable for mobile cavalry activities, in addition, this was the station of the first cavalry brigade of the little devil before, and many barracks were designed and built according to the requirements of the cavalry.
Chu Tianming's Sixth Infantry Brigade is stationed in Fengzhen, and the headquarters is also in Fengzhen, so it is more suitable to continue to stay in Fengzhen, Zhang Yunfei, who has a plan in his heart, said to Chu Tianming next to him: "Tianming, what do you think of this little devil's command?" ”
Chu Tianming is also a person with exquisite skills, seeing Zhang Yunfei ask this, he immediately knew what was going on, although this command headquarters is good, but Jining is obviously not suitable for infantry garrison, it is more suitable for cavalry, and the vast prairie outside is a paradise for cavalry.
So, Chu Tianming said: "Commander-in-chief, although the command of this little devil is good, it is not suitable for infantry garrison here, I think it is a very good choice if the cavalry division is placed in Jining." ”
Listening to Chu Tianming's words, Zhang Yunfei was very pleased, he didn't expect Chu Tianming to coincide with his own thoughts, but he saved his own tongue, although he directly ordered the cavalry division to garrison Jining, and the sixth infantry division to garrison Fengzhen, Chu Tianming would definitely implement it unconditionally, but it could not guarantee that Chu Tianming had no other ideas.
Now, if Chu Tianming can think so, then there will be no problem, so Zhang Yunfei said directly: "Tianming, I still put your division in Fengzhen, which is the north gate of Datong, your infantry division is better at defense, and it is more suitable for guarding the north gate of Datong, and Jining will station Sun Chuanzhi's cavalry division." ”
"The commander-in-chief is wise, and I have to make us more suitable for defense, and more suitable for Fengzhen." Chu Tianming slapped Zhang Yunfei with a little fart.
Just as the two were talking happily, two loud voices sounded outside the door: "Hello commander-in-chief, Sun Chuanzhi (Wu Youqing) reports to you." ”
"Senior Commander Sun, Senior Commander Wu, it's here so soon, come in!" Zhang Yunfei said to the door.
Sun Chuanzhi, commander of the cavalry division, and Wu Youqing, commander of the armored division, walked in together, and when they came to Zhang Yunfei, they stood up with a snap and saluted, and the two looked at Zhang Yunfei with happy faces.
The two were called by Zhang Yunfei, who was originally in front of the enemy's headquarters 30 kilometers away from Jining, and learned that Zhang Yunfei had arrived in Jining, and wanted to come over immediately, but Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram asking the two to come to Jining, so the two came running in a hurry.
Yesterday there was a big victory, and almost all of the more than 10,000 people in the First Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry were annihilated, and the mood of the two of them has been immersed in joy, and now they are still smiling and full of joy when they see Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei looked at the two people who were in a good mood, and said with a slight smile: "Yesterday, after everyone's efforts, we fought a big victory, and I, like you, are also very happy. ”
"Yes, thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Chu Tianming, Sun Chuanzhi, and Wu Youqing immediately stood upright, stood up straight, and said loudly, "Let's go back to our original positions, and the temporary command headquarters in front of the enemy is now disbanded." ”
Zhang Yunfei saw that the three of them were so formal, and said with a straight face: "After the disbandment, the Sixth Infantry Division and the Armored Division returned to their original station, and the Cavalry Division was stationed in Jining. ”
"Yes, we'll get back to our original location right away." Chu Tianming and Wu Youqing replied loudly with full of energy.
Sun Chuanzhi was happy, first looked around the little devil's headquarters, and felt that the little devil's headquarters was not bad, relatively spacious and bright, a little better than his own headquarters in Fengzhen, before, but together with the Sixth Infantry Division, the two divisions were crowded together to work, and now it is good, and the cavalry division also has a reading station.
Sun Chuanzhi, who was smiling and in a good mood, said happily: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, our cavalry division will move to Jining immediately, and we will garrison Jining well, please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured that the 36th Group Army can rest assured." ”
"Okay, I believe that your cavalry division can guard Jining well and protect the people near Jining." Zhang Yunfei said with confidence, but Zhang Yunfei changed his words, and said to Sun Chuanzhi: "Your cavalry division can't be taken lightly, in the west of you, there is a division of Suiyuan's little devils, and in your east, there are two divisions of Zhangjiakou little devils, and the burden on your bodies is not light, in order to facilitate the transportation of weapons, ammunition and materials, you must choose a suitable place in Jining as soon as possible and build an airport, even if it is a simple airport." ”
Zhang Yunfei's plan is that if the airport is built in Jining, then Datong's materials can be continuously transported, and there are still a few small transport planes at Datong Airport now, and in the future, the planes of Datong Aircraft Factory will be manufactured, and it will be convenient to transport materials and troops to Jining.
Although, at present, there are a large number of trucks, which can also transport materials from Datong to Jining, but the speed will be much slower, and there will be a danger of being attacked by little devils, after all, Datong to Jining is two or three hundred kilometers away.
Although Sun Chuanzhi did not know that Zhang Yunfei had thought so much and thought so far, Zhang Yunfei's order must be resolutely carried out, Zhang Yunfei has a high status in everyone's minds, and all the officers and men of the entire 36th Group Army admire Zhang Yunfei very much, and Zhang Yunfei is the soul of the 36th Group Army.
So, Sun Chuanzhi loudly promised: "We will definitely hold Jining, protect the people near Jining, and build the airport immediately." ”
After Zhang Yunfei finished deploying all the work, it was already afternoon, and due to the busy military affairs, Zhang Yunfei took Gao Zhihang's plane and returned to Datong. In Datong, Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, Deng Wenping, director of the Political Department, and Liu Dazhu, deputy commander-in-chief, saw Zhang Yunfei's safe return, and a high heart finally landed.
At this time, Datong was full of joy, and many ordinary people were like a festival, looking elated, because everyone knew that the 36th Group had won another big victory, annihilating the 1st Cavalry Brigade, known as the elite of the little devils, and recovering Jining City.
Contrary to the joyful atmosphere of Datong, the headquarters of the little devil Mengsui Army was stationed in Sui, and it was a gloomy cloud at this time.
In the morning, hundreds of remnants of the 1st Brigade of the Little Devil Cavalry who fled from Jining to Guisui began to arrive at Guisui one after another, and Naosaburo Okabe, who had been anxiously waiting for news in the headquarters, had almost gray hair, and since yesterday he sent an order to retreat to the 1st Cavalry Brigade in Jining, Takashi Takamori sent a telegram back, and he never received any news about the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
Yesterday afternoon, Naosaburo Okabe had been anxious, thinking of all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that the 1st Cavalry Brigade would be almost completely wiped out. The 1st Cavalry Brigade is the elite cavalry of the little devils, but the attack is insufficient, but it is always okay to retreat and escape, and the vast prairie is a paradise for cavalry.
There has been no news of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, and Naosaburo Okabe stayed up all night last night, and this morning, his eyes are bloodshot and he looks a little scary. Early in the morning, Naosaburo Okabe appeared at the headquarters, which made a few little devil orderlies in the headquarters a little unbelievable.
Usually, Okabe Naosaburo will not appear at the headquarters until nine o'clock in the morning, Okabe Naosaburo's habit is to go to bed late and get up late, and every night to watch the performance of the little devil Yiji, if the mood is good, he will keep Yiji to sleep with.
Naosaburo Okabe, who hadn't slept all night, straddled his command knife and came to the headquarters early, hoping for good news about the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but the facts disappointed Naosaburo Okabe. Just as Naosaburo Okabe was walking around the headquarters, anxiously waiting for news, a little devil messenger brought the news.
This little devil communication soldier who was a little flustered didn't even shout a report, so he ran in in a panic and said a little incoherently: "Your Excellency Commander, it's not good, the cavalry of the First Cavalry Brigade is back." ”
"Baga, the cavalry of the First Cavalry Brigade is back, that's a great good, take me to see it." Okabe Naosaburo first scolded the little devil messenger in anger, and then heard that the cavalry of the first cavalry brigade was back, swept away the anxiety and uneasiness just now, and hurriedly said happily, asking the little devil signal soldier to take him to see the cavalry who came back.
