When Zhang Lingfu received short-term training at the Guangzhou Army Academy, he accepted a completely new system of military concepts. Therefore, after passing through the initial period of doubt, he was simply hungry for life in the military academy. Not only him,
The group of young officers from the former Central Army exchanged by the Xuebing Army from Chongqing basically spent their short life in the military academy in this state. Before entering the military academy, they thought that the Xuebing Army would win every day.
After taking advantage of the advanced weapons and equipment, and taking a solid seat in the classroom, they realized that things were not as simple as they imagined. To fight a war, it is not just about having advanced weapons and equipment, but also the tactical concepts must be kept up. Not only the tactics
Concepts, and even the concept of leading troops had to be transformed. After all, Zhang Lingfu came from a regular military academy, and his foundation and knowledge were not bad. In this way, he was able to quickly adjust his mentality and willingly accept as a student those who were ten years younger than him.
Young instructors around the age of 10 teach.
At the end of the short training, Zhang Lingfu's efforts were not in vain. Among the 139 people who took the exam, he came out on top. Ouyang Yun attended the graduation ceremony, and after awarding him a certificate of honor and a graduation certificate
, asked him if he had any other requests. Zhang Lingfu expressed the hope that he could go to the front line and command an army to fight the Japanese. At that time, Ouyang Yun was already planning to form a coalition government, so he transferred him to the coalition army to serve as a recruiter unit.
The general person in charge. After successfully entering Chongqing and deciding to reorganize the former Central Army, he transferred all Zhang Lingfu’s officers and entrusted most of them with important tasks. He also appointed Zhang Lingfu as the commander of the First Division of the National Defense Force, and
Designate one division as the model unit for this reorganization operation.
In just half a year, Zhang Lingfu was promoted from a colonel and brigade commander to a general division commander. He naturally remembered Ouyang Yun's kindness in knowing him. And his unit was regarded as a model unit for reorganization operations, and he and his officers and soldiers became famous.
It is a great honor to be promoted to the Third Expeditionary Army. In terms of promotion, Sun Liren ranked first, and he was ranked second. And because he was directly promoted from the colonel level to the general level, in terms of promotion, the importance of promotion
The level is even more than that of Sun Liren. As mentioned before, in the Third Expeditionary Army, there were also people like Wen Mingjian who were not promoted but were demoted. In this way, although Zhang Lingfu was born in the Huangpu Military Academy, he can be regarded as an old man of the former Central Army.
, he still aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of many people.
Zhang Lingfu, even though he usually has his nostrils turned upward and seems immune to rumors and rumors, in fact, he cares about these things in his heart. Otherwise, he would not insist on asking Sun Liren for the role this time
The vanguard force. He did this because he wanted to prove the combat power of his unit and his personal abilities through actual combat, so that those who criticized him would know that Zhang Lingfu was not able to become the commander of the First Division because of his cooperation with the commander-in-chief.
personal relationship, but does have this ability.
When he was at the Guangzhou Military Academy, Zhang Lingfu saw this sentence on the wall of the Langya training base during a group visit: Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. He took it seriously and regarded it as such.
This is the guiding ideology for the daily training of the unit. He originally attached great importance to the daily training of the army, and coupled with the pressure of honor of the first division's model unit, he paid special attention to the training of the first division and even won the title of "Zhang Zhang".
Nicknames like "Picking the Skin".
Hard work pays off, and the saying "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war" is not a lie. Zhang Lingfu and his officers and soldiers usually put in much more effort than other fraternal troops, and the results were immediately evident in their first battle.
In the past time and space, Zhang Lingfu's 58th Division was already considered the trump card in the Central Army system. Rather than making a comparison, in this time and space, the combat effectiveness of his First Division is even stronger than that of the previous 58th Division.
Many. Therefore, although the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Marine Corps and even the so-called National Liberation Army in this time and space is stronger than that in that time and space, it is still not enough to compete with the First Division. Zhang Lingfu was not worried about his generals and went to the front line to command in person.
As the top officer of the First Division, he was personally on the front line, which was helpful to the morale of the troops. I don’t know who shouted out first: The division commander is here with us, and we must not allow the Japanese to have a chance to face the division commander. Then,
This proposal quickly spread to the ears of the officers and soldiers of the First Division. Zhang Lingfu could not be said to love soldiers as much as his own son, but there was one thing: when it came to the reward and punishment system, he kept his word and would even spend his own salary.
Come to reward the soldiers who have performed well in training. People's hearts are full of flesh. When he may be in danger, how could his soldiers spare their lives? Therefore, Aida Masao originally wanted to win back the soldiers through positional warfare.
As for the front-line position, who would have expected, everyone in the First Division went crazy. The Japanese army originally lacked anti-tank weapons. In this case, they could only use special attack tactics to deal with tanks. However, special tactics are inherently deterrent.
Over practicality, when the officers and soldiers of the First Division were not afraid of death, the Japanese army tried their best special attack tactics, but this time they failed.
The battle lasted for an hour and a half. At the cost of the sacrifice of more than 20 tanks and related officers and soldiers, the 1st Division's tank troops successfully penetrated the Japanese defense line and directly threatened Aida Masao's headquarters. Zhang Lingfu himself ignored life and death.
, which directly led to the fact that all the brothers under his command were not afraid of death. In Wen Mingjian’s words: The first division went crazy!
Aang Tian did not have the courage of Zhang Lingfu. Of course, his reason for retreating was also valid, because in addition to the field fortifications, they also had city defense fortifications that they could hold on to. Moreover, he had already concluded that the Xuebing Army was going to launch a massive counterattack at this time.
Therefore, even if it was to buy time for the troops in Moulmein and other places, he had to hold on for as long as possible. The Japanese army's continuous sitting system made his subordinates dare not let the commander get involved in danger. Aida himself was originally
Without any intention of committing suicide, his subordinates sent "care" at the right time. Considering the "overall situation", he led the brigade headquarters to withdraw into Pyaimai County first.
Before the Battle of Pyai, Wen Mingjian once predicted that they could easily catch the Japanese army by surprise, but it would be difficult to completely capture Pyai, at least the casualties would not be small. Wen Mingjian made such a judgment based on past battles with the Japanese army.
Experience. In the past, even in the great victory of Taierzhuang, the troops only achieved great results at the cost of heavy casualties. Therefore, when he led his subsequent troops to the Japanese positions, he saw the heavy enemy troops illuminated by gunpowder smoke.
For a time, he thought he had seen the corpses of officers and soldiers wrongly.
"How could this happen?" He seemed to be talking to himself or asking the people around him.
And around him, other people had almost the same expression as him. They didn't believe that what they saw in front of them was the truth - little devil, when did you become so careless?
