Shang Zhen went to the society in his early years, and after all kinds of experience, Wen Taowu did not lag behind. After having to take refuge in Yan Xishan, the reason why he has been running for ten years, running before and after the saddle, is just for the unforgettable grace of the encounter. However, by its very nature, it is inevitable to seek independence by being controlled by others.

After the Central Plains War, before Yan Xishan left Dalian, he instructed Xu Yongchang and Yang Aiyuan to be the chief and deputy commanders of the Jinsui Garrison Command, responsible for the aftermath of Shanxi, and Shang Zhen was left aside. The Shanxi army was reorganized, and although Shang Zhen was appointed commander of the 32nd Army, he was increasingly isolated.

The two brigades of Gao Hongwen and Huang Guanghua of Feng Pengzhuo's division of the 32nd Army were the old departments of Shang Zhen, and before the army reorganization was completed, Zhang Xueliang was not paid, and all units were maintained by depreciation. Shang Zhen did his best to provide cash subsidies to the two brigades, and the generals were unhappy, and Yan's descendants such as Wang Jingguo and Sun Chu expressed great dissatisfaction and were very antagonistic.

Shang Zhen knew that the contradictions were difficult to reconcile, so he simply made the problem superficial, first proposing that the provincial government committee approve the dismissal of the village administration office personally appointed by Yan Xishan, and then immediately removed 25 county magistrates at one time.

In this way, public opinion was in an uproar, and finally it turned into a Taiyuan military and civilian business conference, and on the shore of Wenying Lake, the group condemned; At the same time, the military circles are also brewing to drive out businessmen. The situation in which Shang Zhen could not be tolerated in Shanxi's military and political circles was thus formed.

Shang Zhen, who had long had the intention of independence, took advantage of the situation under the pretext of following the orders of Chiang Kai-shek's central government, sent troops to intercept and raise troops to attack Fengzhang's Shiyou Third Division, and led more than 9,000 people from the old Gao and Huang brigades and military academy cadets to leave Niangzi Pass, open Hebei in the east, and break away from Shanxi, where he relied for his career.

Chiang Kai-shek appreciated Shang Zhen's talent and had long intended to recruit him. After Shang Zhen broke away from the Jin system, with the support of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, he still held the post of commander of the 32nd Army, and quickly expanded his headquarters into three divisions with more than 20,000 people.

In February 1936, the Communist Party of China organized the anti-Japanese vanguard of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to cross the Yellow River from northern Shaanxi to the anti-Japanese front in Hebei, and issued the "Eastern Crusade Declaration". Chiang Kai-shek ordered Shang Zhen to lead the 32nd Army into Jin to suppress the Communists. Shang Zhen was dissatisfied with the Nanjing government's passive resistance to Japan, and was unwilling to expend his strength on fighting against the Red Army. He drove to Nanjing overnight, and preached to Chiang Kai-shek that he had broken away from the fetters of Yan Xishan, and refused to obey his orders under the pretext that he was not on good terms with Yan and could not cooperate.

Throughout a person's history, one knows his character and thoughts. Han Xing is willing to deal with such people.

At this time, Zhang Fei said: "The headquarters of the Southern Expeditionary Army has contacted Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen very much welcomes the support of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and Shang Zhen is waiting on the twenty-mile front line west of Gao'an County." ”

Han Xing immediately issued an order: "The entire helicopter formation is looking for a landing site twenty miles west of Gao'an County." ”

Zhang Fei agreed: "Yes!" "Immediately and the navigator urgently landed at the place and looked for a reference. It is indeed not easy to find a reference, because at this time the ground is pitch black, and the backward agriculture coupled with the cruelty of the war is where there is any valuable light.

But they have a way, according to the itinerary of the plane, according to the angle, and then according to the direction on the navigation chart, they can make an approximate judgment and find the approximate county seat. With the reference of the county seat, and then find the flight angle, you can find a position that is roughly the same.

Just about twenty miles away from the county seat of Gao'an, three raging fires were suddenly discovered.

"I saw it, I saw it." Han Xing said, "Surely this is an indication of Shang Zhen." ”

Zhang Fei and the navigator did not dare to be paralyzed, after repeatedly reviewing the itinerary, angle, and repeated calculations, this should indeed be the fire set by the 32nd Army twenty miles west of Gao'an County.

"The target has arrived, request to land?" Zhang Fei made a request.

Han Xing was still quite cautious, and ordered: "Go down one first, and the rest of the helicopters are ready for battle." ”

Zhang Fei immediately ordered: "Helicopter No. 02, go down to the ground first and get ready for battle." ”

Helicopter No. 02 Zhao Xiaoting immediately replied: "Understood." An order was then given to all the combatants in the helicopter: "Attention, attention, readiness for battle, the helicopter has begun to land." ”

Zhao Xiaoting drove the helicopter and tentatively moved towards the fire, while closely watching the surrounding movements. As soon as there is something abnormal, fly high immediately.

The helicopter's hatch was wide open, and two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns were pointed at the fire below, and the machine gun shooter concentrated his hands, holding the handle of the heavy machine gun tightly with both hands. The bomb loser was also very nervous next to him, holding the bullet belt with his hand, and a row of yellow thick and long heavy machine gun bullets had already been in his hands, almost wet with sweat.

Just above the heavy machine gun, five or six assault rifles stretched out. At the same time as the heavy machine guns were firing, the assault rifles could not be idle, but also fired quickly at hostile targets.

Helicopter No. 02 slowly descended from a high altitude, descending, 3000 meters, 2000 meters, 1000 meters. Zhao Xiaoting saw that some soldiers of the national army were cheering loudly at the helicopter by the fire.

Zhao Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's a friendly army of the Kuomintang, please pay attention, don't go off!" Don't go off! ”

It was Shang Zhen, the commander of the 32nd Army, who came to greet the Southern Expeditionary Army in person.

Tonight, Shang Zhen was still a little worried, and he was also a little embarrassed when he received Xue Yue's order to counterattack Gao'an County. After the Japanese army occupied Gao'an County, although there was only a wing of the Japanese army guarding Gao'an County, with about 4,000 people, one wing of the Japanese army was more powerful than the firepower of one of its own troops.

The battle game does not only depend on the number of people, but also on the strength of the firepower of both sides and the value of the bullets fired in an instant. Attack the strong with the weak, and attack Gao'an, how to fight this battle? The original withdrawal from Gao'an was to save the 32nd Army from being eaten by the powerful Japanese army, if the Japanese 106th Division surrounded its 32nd Army, who would be expected to save it, and count on the 74th Army behind? It's not reliable at all.

Therefore, in front of the 106th Division, which has a strong attack power, it can only withdraw from Gao'an. Now Xue Yue is furious, and he asks himself to recapture Gao'an, and attack Gao'an again with his own lack of heavy firepower and equipment and the exhausted 32nd Army, which is really a fantasy......

The empathetic orderly brought Shang Zhen a basin of foot-washing water and asked the military commander to burn his feet. After days of fierce fighting, where is there still time to wash his feet, even the orderly smelled a pungent smell coming from Shang Zhen's feet.

Shang Zhen put his foot into the hot water, rubbing this foot and that foot, while still worrying about the war.

It's really a dilemma, if you attack, the success rate is extremely low, and there will be a greater casualty, if you don't attack, there will be a suspicion of disobedience, it seems that there is really no solution. Shang Zhen also felt that he had really reached a dead end, and he was hopeless.

At this time, a staff officer came in and reported: "Military seat, the Southern Expeditionary Army Headquarters has sent a telegram to contact?" They are coming to assist us in the counterattack on Gao'an, and ask if the 32nd Army welcomes it? ”

"What? Which Southern Expeditionary Army, you make it clear? ”

The staff officer hurriedly repeated again: "It is the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Han Xing, the Southern Expeditionary Army that participated in the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Nanchang. ”

"Really!" Shang Zhen was in a hurry, and suddenly stood up barefoot, and the plates full of footwashing water immediately spilled all over the room. "Where are they?"

"It's in the air," the staff officer added, "it's only a few dozen minutes away from us." ”

"Oh my mother!" Shang Zhen shouted with joy, "God help me!" God help me—my 32nd Army has been saved. Then what are you still doing here, all the officers, follow me to meet the Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

Shang Zhen ran out of the tent barefoot, and asked the staff officer loudly: "The plane in the sky flew to us, how can we greet it?" How to greet it? Hurry up and arrange. ”

The staff officer shouted while carrying his shoes to him: "Military seat, military seat, your shoes." ”

Three fires were quickly ignited.

In the distance, there was a loud roar of engines in the air, followed by a small light in the sky.

At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly thought of the key question, and said to the staff officer in surprise: "I was really happy and confused just now, but now I remembered, we don't have an airfield, where are they landing?"

This staff officer was also half a bottle of vinegar, and hurriedly said in a mocking manner: "I heard that their plane does not need a runway and can take off and off straight." However, I haven't seen it either, I've only heard about it. ”

"What nonsense, how can a plane land without a runway. Let's see, can you build a simple runway? ”

The staff officer was embarrassed and said, "It's really too late to report to the military seat." ”

Shang Zhen lost his temper: "It's too late to repair, if they really don't have the runway and fly back, wouldn't we be happy in vain." ”

The helicopter flew lower and lower, and the huge propeller blades fanned the three fires on the ground one after another, and finally extinguished the fire. The straw embers on the ground were swept away and flew in all directions, causing a circular downward wind center to appear under the helicopter propeller.

Suddenly, pillars of light shot down from the helicopter, illuminating the small open space as if it were daylight. The huge wind blew so that the people on the ground could barely stand, and one by one they leaned forward and backwards, and had to withdraw from the small open space one by one, making way for the helicopter.

The landing gear of the No. 02 Z-8 helicopter slowly touched the ground, the propellers of the aircraft slowly stopped rotating, and the wind in the small open space slowly decreased, while the other 11 helicopters hovered in the air, suspended in the air.

Shang Zhen finally discovered a big secret and shouted to the staff officer: "Isn't this just a big dragonfly!" This big dragonfly of steel can really rise and fall straight! How could I not have thought of this earlier! ”

His words had long been blown away by the great wind, and none of his officers and men heard what he was saying.
