Chapter 56: The 88th Independent Brigade
Yu Xuezhong didn't expect that Xu Guoren, a young man from a clay leg, would have such foresight, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Guoren in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, I will bring your words to the young marshal truthfully, don't leave it at that!" ”
"Then Xu is equivalent to your good news, general, farewell!" Xu Guoren arched his hand, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse violently, and the war horse under his crotch neighed, and galloped away in the direction when he turned around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Niu Dagen followed closely with a platoon of guards.
Seeing the back of Xu Guoren's group leaving, Yu Xuezhong said with meaningful emotion: "This son is visionary, courageous, and full of justice, he is really a model for contemporary soldiers, and his achievements in time will definitely be above me!" ”
An attendant adjutant next to him said with some disdain: "Sir, you are too exalted to him, you are now a lieutenant general of the army, and the commander of the Pingjin garrison." And you have been on the battlefield for many years, how can he be compared to a guy from the wild. ”
Yu Xuezhong smiled slightly, did not say anything about the flattery of his subordinates, and looked at Xu Guoren and his entourage from afar, turned around and said loudly: "This trip was a complete success, getting to know a young handsome, for me, it is a quick thing, and it is also beneficial and happy for my Northeast Army!" Walk! ”
As soon as he spoke, he took the lead in waving the horsewhip and urging the war horse to take the lead in galloping away.
Several retinues rode their horses to follow.
After they all left, Guo Hu withdrew from the valley on both sides of the first line with hundreds of soldiers from the second battalion of heavily armed soldiers. Lined up in a column and ran on foot in the direction Xu Guoren left.
This is an arrangement made by Xu Guoren just in case, although Xu Guoren is not a gentleman, but he understands that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
However, after a meeting and contact with Yu Xuezhong, Xu Guoren also understood that his precautions were a little redundant.
However, he doesn't regret doing this, because in troubled times, he may lose his life if he is not careful, he must be careful step by step, because this is not playing League of Legends, he cannot be resurrected, and he can't afford to lose at all.
Xu Guoren returned to the temporary station of the army, Guo Shiyin and Chen Zhiyuan were anxiously waiting for him.
Seeing that he came back safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's it going?" Guo Shiyin asked.
Xu Guoren turned over and dismounted, nodded with a slight smile: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, I have made some conditions, General Yu Xuezhong has already agreed, whether it can be made or not, we have to wait for him to consult Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Shaomarshal to know." ”
After Guo Shiyin listened, he nodded lightly: "Oh, that's good." ”
"Commander Xu, it's good that you come back safely, nothing else, I'll take care of the wounded." Chen Zhiyuan said.
"It's hard work." Xu Guoren is full of respect for him, the only military doctor in the security regiment today, not to mention that he saved his father's life when he was down.
Old Chen bowed slightly, turned to leave.
Xu Guoren looked at Guo Shiyin's seductive figure in a good mood, and said, "Sister Shiyin, master, I am about to become a brigade commander, are you interested in being a brigade commander's wife?" ”
It just so happened that Niu Dagen had just arrived with dozens of guards, and when he saw that Xu Guoren was teasing Commissioner Guo, who was as beautiful as a flower, he couldn't help but laugh.
Guo Shiyin saw it in her eyes, immediately blushed, glared at Xu Guoren, and said coquettishly: "So many people, what nonsense, ignore you." ”
"Hahaha!" Xu Guoren was amused by her shy appearance, if she could live a stable life for a few days, accompanied by brothers and beautiful women, in this troubled world, it would not be a happy thing.
Only, how can things be as good as they should be?
Five days later, when Xu Guoren was a little impatient, he finally waited for Yu Xuezhong's message.
Of course, in the past five days, Xu Guoren has not relaxed his vigilance, and Guo Xiaoliu's cavalry reconnaissance company has always maintained 24-hour uninterrupted patrols within a radius of 100 miles to ensure that the security regiment will not be taken advantage of to make dumplings.
As expected, Yu Xuezhong's telegram was full of good news, and Major Marshal Zhang not only agreed to Xu Guoren's request to be the brigade commander, but also personally conferred the official rank of colonel on Xu Guoren in his capacity as deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, and gave Xu Guoren a regular unit number -- the 88th Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army.
The Northeast Army is responsible for all military supplies, grain, and ammunition.
The telegram mentioned that Xu Guoren's independent 88th Brigade was tentatively stationed in Pingyang, and Xu Guoren was ordered to immediately lead his troops to Pingyang to replace the 360th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, which had been evacuated, and to retake the defense of Pingyang.
At the same time, Xu Guoren was also given the power to recruit troops independently, so as to make the independent 88th Brigade worthy of the name.
After reading the content of the message, Xu Guoren was not carried away by the joy, but sent someone to summon Guo Xiaoliu and ordered him to send capable scouts, divided into two groups, light and dark, to Pingyang to reconnoiter the situation.
The bright ones are armed reconnaissance on the periphery of Pingyang, and the dark ones need to be disguised and infiltrate the plainclothes reconnaissance in Pingyang City, just in case.
Two days later, all the scouts returned safely, and the news they brought back proved that Xu Guoren's worries were unnecessary.
I had heard that the 359th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army had almost been wiped out, and the 360th Regiment, which had urgently retreated from the southwest of Pingyang, and the remnants of the 359th Regiment had been ordered to withdraw from Pingyang three days ago.
The cavalry scouts also conducted reconnaissance within a hundred miles of Binh Duong and did not find anything suspicious.
At this point, Xu Guoren finally put his mind at ease and understood that Yu Xuezhong and Zhang Shaoshuai sincerely accepted and adopted themselves, rather than playing a trick on themselves.
Come to think of it, if he wants to set himself up, Yu Xuezhong can't take risks, after all, he is now the commander of the Pingjin garrison who commands nearly 100,000 troops, a lieutenant general of the army, and the right-hand man of Zhang Shaoshuai.
If it is not necessary, how can he use himself as bait for Xu Guoren's mud legs?
Relieved, Xu Guoren ordered the troops to march towards Pingyang.
As soon as they heard that they could return to Pingyang again, and that the troops had been expanded into brigades, all the officers and men were very happy, and they shouted with joy one by one.
Following Xu Guoren, not to mention that they won battles all the way, they can still return to Pingyang now, and the troops are getting bigger and bigger, how can this not make people happy?
In addition to being happy, his admiration for Xu Guoren naturally rose.
"Guoren, where are we going?" Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, his father Xu Dafang, with the support of his mother, stepped down from the carriage and asked Xu Guoren.
Xu Guoren said with a smile on his face: "Dad, mother, I'll take you home!" ”
"Home? Can I go back? Xu Dafang and Li Xiuqin were both surprised and looked at each other.
"Yes, I will never let you suffer from this turbulence in the future!" Xu Guoren nodded seriously.
"Hmm." After all, Xu Dafang has lived in Guojiabao for most of his life, at his age, no one wants to leave his hometown unless necessary, and if he can return to Pingyang, it is equivalent to returning to Guojiabao, and he can also return to his roots in the future, how can he not be happy?
"Great." Li Xiuqin also wiped away tears with some excitement.
Xu Guoren looked at the excited father and mother, and his heart was also full of guilt, helped them into the carriage, and began to embark on the return journey with the team.
