Chapter 6: The Ballad of the Great Wall (Five Tops)

In a panic, I suddenly heard a person in the corner of the room sneering in a low voice: "Huh! You don't dare to say these words in front of your face, and there is still an egg to scold behind your back?! Could it be that Commander Huang's ears are so good that he can hear you waiting for hundreds of miles away?! ”

"Who is the ......" Everyone was on fire, and suddenly heard such a sentence that was neither yin nor yang, and immediately turned their eyes and scolded loudly. When he saw the two bars and three flowers on the speaker's shoulder, he immediately suffocated the curse words that had been half shouted back into his stomach, changed his disdainful face, and sneered and mocked: "This brother's surname? (Note 1)

"Does this brother look familiar? Old Twenty-Six, I don't seem to have seen you in the military department before? ”

Those who can serve as liaison officers in front of Huang Shaohong for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters will definitely not be too low. However, in the National Revolutionary Army, after the implementation of the new military rank system last year, the criteria for awarding titles have been greatly raised. Many liaison officers were brigade commanders, but they were only awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel. And the one who said strange things in the corner, as the head of the regiment, was carrying two bars and three flowers, and his backstage background was worth thinking about!

"Don't be expensive, surnamed Gou!" The leader of the secret service group, Gou Gou, lifted the kettle that had just been boiling, and brewed his jujube leaf tea in a big way, "I was just promoted last month, so everyone hasn't seen me at the headquarters of the 26th Route Army, which is normal!" ”

It turned out to be an upstart, no wonder he was so arrogant! The officers were so disdainful in their hearts, and they became more and more armed with guns and sticks when they spoke, "Could it be that Commander Gou still has any clever ideas to teach me to wait?!" It seems that Chief Sun of your ministry hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know when I will be able to come up? With his old man here, I can have more backbones after all! ”

The words of the audience involved Sun Lianzhong, and the commander of the 79th Brigade, Huang Chensong, who had just braved the bombing of enemy planes and rushed to Xiapanshi, immediately stepped forward and emphasized loudly: "Our Commander Sun is rushing here with his brothers at this moment. If you have something to ask him for, you might as well wait another night! ”

"I have to wait one night, will I rush back in the same car as Commander Huang! can send two deputy commanders to supervise the battle at the same time, and the World War II zone attaches enough importance to our lady's pass, ah-——! Everyone didn't buy Huang Chensong's account at all, and continued to pout and sneer.

"I don't know if Chief Sun has seen the location of each department in advance, but don't be like Commander Huang, let us rush from Longquan Pass to the old pass within an hour of twenty-seven roads?!"

"Yes, it's an hour to walk sixty miles of mountain roads, but it's a pity that my Twenty-seventh Route Army Chief Feng can't fly!"

"Let our 17th Division go to surround Wei to rescue Zhao, but Wei did not surround it, and Zhao was also lost. I don't know how to calculate this bad debt after that. Anyway, Chief Sun is a person who understands, and he should know that it is not the fault of our 17th Division!"

"Phew!" Another sneer erupted from Lao Gou's nostrils, interrupting everyone's complaints. "Of course, our Chief Sun is a person who understands, but if our Chief Sun understands again, can we immediately remove Chief Huang from his post in Nanjing? If this battle continues as you did before, I'm afraid that when the time comes, our Chief Sun will have the heart to defend you, and you won't have a chance to hear it."

Cursing others to death in front of them is a taboo in the army. When he boarded, all the liaison officers came forward together, rolled up their arms and sleeves, "Surnamed Gou, what do you mean?!" ”

"Surnamed Gou, don't think that if you are a colonel, no one will dare to beat you. Today, if you don't explain what you just said to everyone clearly, Lao Tzu will not wear this military uniform, and let you know what the rules are! ”

"What do you mean, I understand it!" Lao Gou picked up the freshly brewed jujube leaf tea, took a sip lightly, and then put it down with a sneer, "You are all seniors in the army, so you won't even be unable to understand the situation in front of you." Therefore, as soon as the pass is opened, the lady will not exist. The little devils have been transporting troops to the customs day and night, transporting machine guns and artillery, and when they are deployed in place, they will tie their pockets behind our backs, hehe, when the time comes, even if you shout the wrongs to the sky, I am afraid that only Lord Yama can adjudicate! ”

"Nonsense!" Before Lao Gou finished speaking, the scolding sounded again.

"You still need to say this!"

The surnamed Huang saw that the situation was not good, so he ran back to Taiyuan. Leave the brethren here to die! ”

"Let's just go! Save yourself from suffering here! ”

Lao Gou just sneered and listened, and continued to taste his tea while listening. It seems that the leaves of the jujube tree are more precious than the super-grade Longjing.

Seeing him so calm, Li Zhenxi, the teaching captain of Yang Hucheng's department, suddenly remembered someone. Quickly stepped forward, leaned over and asked, "Excuse me, is Brother Tai the battalion commander Gou who led his brother to blow up the devil artillery position last month, Colonel Gou Youde?!" ”

Not wanting to attract too much attention, he has tried to keep his voice as low as possible. Unexpectedly, after the voice was spoken, the surrounding noise immediately fell silent. Almost everyone turned their gaze and landed directly on the face of Gou Youde, the head of the secret service group.

risked death to blow up the cannon, sacrificed his life to save Paoze, and then used a team of eleven people to drag down half of the squadron's devils. This was almost the only outstanding performance of hundreds of thousands of national troops in the Battle of Pingjin, and it was once used as a model by the central government to be hyped up. Therefore, almost every middle and high-ranking general has left a deep impression on the three words 'Gou Youde'. It's just that no one thought that the hero of the day would sit in front of him.

The most important heroes in the army, even if they are in different factions with each other, or even hostile factions, as long as you have a proud record and everyone meets, they will sincerely say "admiration". At that moment, the liaison officers present didn't care about continuing to scold the street, and stepped forward one after another to greet Gou Youde.

"It turns out that you are the brother Gou Youde, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

"With eleven brothers, I dare to copy the back road of the little devil, so I rush to this courage and righteousness, you friend, Lao Tzu has made a deal today!"

"No wonder it looks familiar, it turns out to be ......"

"No wonder, no wonder, I have a big ability, and my temper is different from others. ...... just now"

Seeing that everyone suddenly became very polite, Gou Youde quickly put away the cynical face, stood up with a smile, and bowed his hand to the four sides, "False praise, you false praise." The events of that day were skillfully commanded by Chief Sun, and the brothers worked hard to the death, and Gou himself actually did not have any credit. It's just a little bit of luck and a big bargain, I really can't afford to be so praised by you! ”

"Brother Youde is too modest!"

"Look at what Brother Youde said, he really deserves to be under the seat of Chief Sun. If there were a few people in our Shaanxi army who could be like Brother Youde, the battle in front of us would not have been fought so hard! ”

"I didn't know just now that I was a virtuous brother, and there was a lot of offense in my words, so please don't take it to heart. They were all harmed by this nest of battles, and Lao Tzu held back the evil fire in his belly, but he couldn't find a place to sprinkle it. I'm sorry, I won't say it, when the battle is over, let's go to Taiyuan City. When my brother comes to make an east, what are the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the virtuous brother can order it casually! ”

The so-called sedan chair carries people, and Gou Youde is also an old soldier and knows how to do things. I used the words to squeeze everyone just now, but I was too lazy to listen to everyone's frustrating words. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to put up any new upstart shelves. He smiled and arched his hand to everyone, and responded with a smile: "Look at what a few brothers said, it seems that my old Gou is a cautious eye." Isn't the reason why we are arguing is to fight this battle well and give an explanation to the dead brothers?! I was in a hurry just now, so my mouth stinks. Don't take it to heart, everyone, when the battle is over, I will pour wine for my brothers one by one to make amends! ”

"yes, yes. We didn't know each other before, who would give whom a look, weren't we all suffocated by the battle in front of us?! ”

"Yes, an army of 60,000 or 70,000 was beaten by more than 10,000 little devils. Shame on you, shame on you! When I turned around and saw other colleagues, I didn't even have the face to raise my head and speak! ”

Speaking of the current battle situation, everyone began to sigh again. It was as if the sky above my head was about to fall, and I couldn't stop worrying. Huang Qiaosong, the commander of the 79th Brigade of the 27th Division, had been friends with Gou Youde for many years, and knew that he would not do meaningless things, so he smiled and raised his voice abruptly: "You don't know, our 26th Road Gou brother is the best at fighting the kind of risky battle of survival in death. Seeing that he is sitting so calmly now, it is estimated that he has prepared a large soak of bad water in his stomach, waiting for the little devil! ”

"Yes, if Brother Gou has any tricks, don't hide it. As long as I can give the little devil some color, I Li Zhenxi will only look at you in the future! Yang Hucheng's teaching captain Li Zhenxi also felt that Gou Youde's words just now didn't look like he was looking for faults without anything, and shouted along Huang Chensong's tone.

After being reminded by these two people, everyone immediately understood the taste, and they all opened their mouths, asking Gou Youde for guidance.

"Yes, yes, let's not seek to turn the tide of the war, so as to destroy hundreds of his little devils and vent evil anger to the brothers!"

"That's right, just like you did when you were in Fangshan on the 27th Road, teach the little devil a lesson. Even if we withdraw in the future, we will go a little more glorious, right!?

What Gou Youde wanted was this opportunity, so he stood up and bowed his hands again: "Brothers, seniors, it is said that on this occasion today, I have no place to speak." But I kept sitting like this and waiting for the little devil to beat, and I was really embarrassed and panicked. So let's get a big axe at the door, if you don't say the right thing......"

"Say it, say it, they are all men in the army, how many twists and turns!"

"Yes, our brothers go straight to the point, don't learn from those who are officials!" At this moment, Gou Youde is not the only one who has nowhere to release a breath of anger in his stomach, and almost all the generals hope to fight a happy battle, even if they are still destined to lose in the end, they will lose a few glorious points.

"Then I'll be ugly!" Gou Youde took a big stride and came to the military map hanging on the wall. This map was reserved for Huang Shaohong, the commander-in-chief of the front, and was far more detailed than the one in the hands of ordinary officers. In the past few days, with the opportunity to be Huang Shaohong's free bodyguard, Gou Youde has figured out the map countless times, and almost every mountain and every road has been memorized in his mind.

"The little devils have more machine guns and artillery than us, and there are planes to help, which is their strength. But the little devil also has one of the weakest flaws, that is, there are few people. They are only in their early 10,000s, and they actually want to make dumplings for our 60,000 or 70,000 brothers, and their appetite is also a little bigger than their grandmother. I have calculated privately today, and at the moment, the little devils are sent out to copy our back road, at most, there is only one wing, about 3,000 people. And from the location of the devil's army to the breakthrough of the old pass, and then to the position of the devil's most striker, it was nearly fifty miles long. If we wait to be beaten as we were, we may not be able to keep the way back. But if we take the initiative to change our moves, we will first surround the group of little devils who have already attacked the Niangzi Pass......"

"Shhh Hearing this, everyone present gasped. At present, the strength of the little devils near Niangzi Pass is about 10,000 to 12,000 people, most of whom are still dragged out of the pass by the brothers of the 17th Division, and there are indeed only about 3,000 people who really enter the pass and prepare to copy the rear road of the Chinese army. If these 3,000 or so people are killed, the strength of the little devils will be reduced by a quarter. Not only do you want to block everyone's retreat anymore, I'm afraid it's unknown whether you can get your hands on the lady!

"I asked my fellow villagers privately, and there are two key points inside and outside the road to Jiuguan." Pointing to the map with his hand, Lao Gou continued to talk, "One is in the walnut orchard, and the other is in Guangou." If we send someone to make a detour from the mountain road, we will stab you at each of these two points. The devil who has entered the Niangzi Pass has become a lone army. Even if you only get stuck in the point of the gate, you can cut the old pass and those little devils who entered the pass into two sections. Pick him up one by one! ”

"Just fight like this!"

"It's long overdue!" The morale of the liaison officers was immediately mobilized, and they rolled up their arms and sleeves and took the initiative to solicit tasks for their units. However, Lao Gou himself, after dedicating the strategy that should be offered, immediately became cautious, smiled, and lowered his voice to remind: "Commander Huang is not here tonight, if we want to fight like this, we must at least ask him for instructions." Otherwise, once the head is held accountable......"

"his grandma!" Li Zhenxi was the first to jump up, slapping the table and shouting. "By the time the decision has been made, we will have been trapped here by the little devils a long time ago. Just like that, there are still about 400 people in our teaching team who can stand and walk, and they will all be pressed tonight! ”

"Our Third Army is also fighting, it's a big deal, let the surnamed Huang trouble our army commander? Whoever is afraid that he was born to the son of a turtle! A brigade commander surnamed Xiao spoke loudly.

"I'll immediately contact our Division Commander Zhao, the seventeenth division, this time it's out of the way!" Li Xuesheng, the liaison officer sent by the 17th Division to Guannai, and the staff officer of Colonel Li Xuesheng also took out his pistol and vowed to advance and retreat together with everyone.

"As long as we don't die in vain, our 27th Army will never be ambiguous!" Even Wang Zhicheng, the liaison officer of the 27th Army, who was the least active a few days ago, suddenly took responsibility at this moment and spoke out to support Lao Gou's plan.

Huang Chensong, the 79th Brigade of the 27th Division, had always been cautious, first listened with his ears pricked up for a moment, then suddenly coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "It stands to reason that without the order of Commander Huang, we should not act without permission." But the military situation is really urgent, and his old man went to Taiyuan again, and we may not be able to find anyone if we want to ask for instructions. In this case, I will send a telegram to Chief Sun in a moment to explain the situation to him. In the future, even if Chief Huang is not happy in his heart, for the sake of Chief Sun's face, he will not be too embarrassed for everyone! ”

The commander Sun in his mouth is Sun Lianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the 26th Route Army. At this moment, he is the deputy commander of the second theater with Huang Shaohong, and he can just borrow it to support everyone. After listening to Huang Chensong's words, everyone felt more and more fearless, and simply looked directly at the map to discuss their respective tasks.

"Everyone, wait!" Huang Chensong thought for a while and continued: "You have all fought with the little devils, and brother, I have just arrived with the 79th Brigade, and we will stab the first two knives by our 79th Brigade!" After I take down the walnut orchard and the ditch, should I remove the bones for the little devil or divide the corpse, you will continue to toss! ”

The first two knives must be the most difficult to stab. Knowing the combat effectiveness of the little devil in his heart, the liaison officers of the various ministries nodded with admiration. Immediately, Huang Chensong called several regiment commanders under his command and began to assign tasks. Lao Gou shook his head suddenly, and said with the words Huang Qisong, "Brother Kelly is slow, since the idea is from me, our spy group, of course, will be the first to stab!" Guangou can be given to you, this side of the walnut orchard, I want to decide! ”

Note 1: Two bars and three flowers, the colonel's logo, began to be implemented in the Kuomintang descendants in 1935. Although the 27th Division is not a descendant, it is the first batch of integrated divisions, so the military appearance is relatively neat.
