Chapter 189: Garrisoned in Jining
Chapter 189: Stationing Jining
The soldiers entering the city were very happy and proud when they saw the people on both sides of the road so enthusiastic. Some soldiers even began to smile slightly on their faces. The steps they took were stronger, more neat, and their chests were taller.
Several senior officers of the Sixth Infantry Division who were riding on the off-road vehicle, including Chu Tianming, were excited. Unexpectedly, the 36th Army had such a high status in the minds of the people. It is so proud to be a senior officer of this unit.
To increase everyone's sense of pride is one of the purposes of Zhang Yunfei's entry ceremony.
The entire city entry ceremony lasted for more than an hour. After entering Jining City, Zhang Yunfei, surrounded by officers from the Sixth Infantry Division, including Chu Tianming, came to the command center of the First Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry, but now the place has been cleaned up by the soldiers.
The Japanese Sun Flag hung on the wall has been taken off, and the signboard at the command department has also been taken off. It is difficult to see some traces of the Japanese Command before.
This command is quite large. The Japanese First Cavalry Brigade was retreating in a hurry and was basically not destroyed. It was slightly organized, put on some radio stations, and then hang the sign of the 36th Army at the door to work.
Zhang Yunfei looked at the command center and had already made plans. Here, as the command center of the Cavalry Division, the garrison of the Cavalry Division will be moved from Fengzhen to Jining. Jining is located on the grassland and is more suitable for cavalry activities with strong mobility. In addition, this was the garrison of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Ancestrals, 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 command center is also in Fengzhen. It is more suitable to stay in Fengzhen. Zhang Yunfei, who had plans in his mind, said to Chu Tianming next to him: "Tianming, what do you think of this Japanese command?"
Chu Tianming was also a person with a nimbly orifices. When Zhang Yunfei asked this, he immediately knew what was going on. Although this command was good, Jining was obviously not suitable for infantry garrisons. It was more suitable for cavalry. The vast grassland outside was a paradise for cavalry.
So, Chu Tianming said: "Commander-in-Chief, although this Japanese command is good, it is not suitable for infantry garrisoning. I think it would be a very good choice if the cavalry division is placed in Jining."
After hearing Chu Tianming's words, Zhang Yunfei felt relieved. Unexpectedly, Chu Tianming coincided with his own ideas, but he saved his quarrel. Although he directly issued an order to station the Cavalry Division in Jining and the Sixth Infantry Division in Fangfeng Town, Chu Tianming would definitely implement it unconditionally, but he could not guarantee that Chu Tianming had no other ideas.
Now, if Chu Tianming thinks this way, there is no problem, so Zhang Yunfei said directly: "Tianming, I will put your division in Feng Town, which is the northern gate of Datong. Your infantry division is better at defending and is more suitable for guarding the northern gate of Datong. Jining will station Sun Chuanzhi's cavalry division."
"The commander-in-chief is wise, so I have to be more suitable for defense and more suitable for Fengzhen." Chu Tianming slapped Zhang Yunfei with a small flattery.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, two loud voices sounded outside the door: "Hello Commander-in-Chief, Sun Chuanzhi (Wu Youqing) reported to you."
"Teacher Sun, Commander Wu, you'll be here so soon, come in quickly!" Zhang Yunfei looked at the outsider.
Sun Chuanzhi, commander of the Cavalry Division, and Wu Youqing, commander of the Armored Division, walked in together, came to Zhang Yunfei, stood at attention with a snap, and saluted a military salute. The two looked at Zhang Yunfei with joy on their faces.
The two were called by Zhang Yunfei. They were originally at the enemy's front command center 30 kilometers away from Jining. When they learned that Zhang Yunfei had arrived in Jining, they wanted to come over immediately. Zhang Yunfei happened to send a telegram asking them to come to Jining, so they ran over happily.
A big victory was fought yesterday, and almost all 10,000 people from the First Japanese Cavalry Brigade were wiped out. The two of them were always immersed in joy. Now they still smiled and were filled with joy when they saw Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei looked at the two people in a good mood and smiled slightly, "Yesterday, after everyone's efforts, we won a great victory. I am very happy like you. Today I asked you to come to Jining. The first is to congratulate you on your victory, and the second is to announce that with the end of the battle, your temporary command in front of the enemy will now be disbanded."
"Yes, thank you Commander-in-Chief." Chu Tianming, Sun Chuanzhi, and Wu Youqing stood at attention immediately, stood straight, and said loudly, "We each returned to our original position, and the temporary command center in front of the enemy is now disbanded."
Seeing the three of them being so formal, Zhang Yunfei said seriously: "After disbanding, the Sixth Infantry Division and the Armored Division returned to their original garrison, and the Cavalry Division was stationed in Jining. From then on, the command center of the Cavalry Division was here, that is, the command center of the former Japanese cavalry 1st Brigade."
"Yes, we will return to our original station immediately." Chu Tianming, Wu Youqing and the others replied loudly with great enthusiasm.
Sun Chuanzhi looked happy and first looked around the Japanese command center. He thought that the Japanese command center was pretty good, spacious and bright, and was better than his command center in Fengzhen. In the past, he had two divisions crowded together with the Sixth Infantry Division. Now, the Cavalry Division also had a maximum garrison.
With a smile on his face and a good mood, Sun Chuanzhi said happily: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. Our cavalry division will move to Jining immediately. We will station in Jining well. Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief and the 36th Army."
"Okay, I believe your cavalry division can guard Jining well and protect the vast majority of people near Jining." Zhang Yunfei said with confidence, but Zhang Yunfei changed his tone and said to Sun Chuanzhi: "Your cavalry division cannot be careless. To the west of you, there is a division of the Japanese devils in Suiyuan, and to the east of you, there are two Japanese devils in Zhangjiakou. The burden on you 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 a simple airport."
Zhang Yunfei's plan was that if an airport was built in Jining, then Datong's supplies could be continuously transported. There are still several small transport aircraft at Datong Airport. In the future, the aircraft from Datong Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was built, which would also be convenient for transporting materials and troops to Jining. If the Japanese wanted to capture Jining again, it would not be so easy.
Although there are currently a large number of trucks that can transport supplies from Datong to Jining, the speed will be much slower and there will be a risk of being attacked by Japanese devils. After all, it is two or three hundred kilometers from Datong to Jining.
Although Sun Chuanzhi didn't know that Zhang Yunfei had thought so much and thought so far, Zhang Yunfei's orders must be implemented resolutely. Zhang Yunfei has a high status in everyone's minds. All the officers and soldiers of the entire 36th Army admired Zhang Yunfei very much. Zhang Yunfei was the soul of the 36th Army.
So, Sun Chuanzhi loudly promised: "We must guard Jining, protect the people near Jining, and build the airport immediately."
It was already afternoon after Zhang Yunfei had deployed all the work. Due to busy military affairs, Zhang Yunfei took Gao Zhihang's plane and returned to Datong. In Datong, the Chief of General Staff Zuo Qingquan, the Director of the Political Department Deng Wenping, and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Dazhu, saw Zhang Yunfei return safely, a high-hanging heart finally landed.
At this time, Datong was full of joy, and many ordinary people seemed to be happy like a festival, because everyone knew that the 36th Group won another big victory, annihilated the First Cavalry Brigade, known as the elite Japanese, and restored Jining City.
In contrast to the joyful atmosphere of Datong, Guisui, the headquarters of the Japanese Mengsui Army Corps, was in Guisui, and was at this time sad.
On the morning of the day, hundreds of defeated soldiers from the 1st Japanese Aristocratic Cavalry Brigade who fled from Jining to Guisui began to reach Guisui one after another. Naosaburo Okabe, who had been waiting for news in the headquarters, almost turned white. Since sending an order to retreat to Jining's 1st Cavalry Brigade yesterday, Takashi Eagleman sent a call back, he had never received any news about the 1st Cavalry Brigade.
Yesterday afternoon, Naosaburo Okabe had been spending his anxiety and thought of all possibilities in his mind, but he never thought that the First Cavalry Brigade would almost be destroyed. The First Cavalry Brigade is the elite cavalry of the Japanese, but the attack was insufficient, but it was okay to retreat and escape. The vast grassland is a paradise for cavalry.
There has been no news about the First Cavalry Brigade. Last night, Naosaburo Okabe had not been asleep all night. This morning, his eyes were covered with blood, which looked a little scary. Early in the morning, Naosaburo Okabe appeared at the headquarters, which made several Japanese servicemen in the headquarters a little unbelievable.
Usually, Naosaburo Okabe will not appear in the headquarters until nine o'clock in the morning. Naosaburo Okabe's habit is to go to bed late and get up late. He has to watch the performance of the Japanese geisha every night. If he is in good spirits, he will also keep the geisha to sleep with him.
Naosaburo Okabe, who had not fallen asleep all night, came to the command center early with his command knife, hoping for good news about the First Cavalry Brigade, but the facts disappointed Naosaburo Okabe. Just as Naosaburo Okabe was walking around in the headquarters and waiting for the news anxiously, a Japanese correspondent brought the news.
The little Japanese correspondent soldier who was a little panicked, ran in panic without even shouting the report and said in a bit 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 has returned. It's great. Take me to see it." Naosaburo Okabe first cursed the Japanese communication soldier angrily, and then heard that the cavalry of the First Cavalry Brigade had returned. After sweeping away the anxiety and anxiety just now, he quickly said happily, asking the Japanese communication trainer to take him to see the returned cavalry.
