"Hello teacher!"

Seeing Hu Lian coming in, many staff officers and division headquarters personnel who were busy saluted or greeted him one after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Hu Lian stepped into the headquarters, he immediately felt that the temperature had dropped several degrees, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

"Master, are you back?"

Hu Lian came to the war room that had just been arranged, and the two deputy division commanders, Hu Yi and Luo Xianda, and the three regiment commanders, Yin Zhongyue, Zhang Dibian, and Liu Shenghe, who had been waiting at the division headquarters for a long time, surrounded them almost at the same time.

"Master, what task has Chief Wei given us?"

"Master, who are we going to fight this time?"

Looking at the people who were gossiping and asking questions, Hu Lian did not answer immediately, but pouted at Wang Yuanzhi who was standing behind him, "Yuanzhi, I have already told you about the situation just now, now you can tell everyone." ”

Wang Yuanzhi nodded, cleared his throat and told everyone what he had learned from Hu Lian's mouth along the way, and finally said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although our left and right flanks are guarded by the first and second divisions of the garrison in this battle, and there is no need to divide forces to guard against the Japanese troops on the flanks, it does not mean that we can sit back and relax. On the contrary, the task of capturing Hengling Pass this time is a hot potato, because the friendly and neighboring troops have laid the foundation some time ago, this battle should be fought well, but if it is not fought well, then the board will be on us. And the military seat will arrive in a few days, if something goes wrong at that time, the face of our 18th Army will be lost by us. ”

Everyone was silent, and now the commander of the Eighteenth Army is Fang Tian. Although this person is not famous, he is outstanding in terms of qualifications and ability, and he is also highly regarded by Chairman Jiang. If he arrived with the 18th Division and the 34th Provisional Division, he found that the 11th Division, the core and main force of the 18th Army, could not even take a single Hengling Pass, and he would not know how to be furious.

Deputy division commander Luo Xianda is straightforward, just when everyone was pondering, he looked at Hu Lian and said: "Division, whether it is for our Eighteenth Army or the Central Army, we must take Hengling Pass, although the intelligence shows that only one wing of the Japanese army is defending Hengling Pass, but once the fight starts, no one knows what will happen, so we must do everything we can." And since Commander Wei also said that if necessary, we can ask the Third Army for some support, since there is such a good thing, why don't we use it, I think we can go to the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions later. ”

Hu Yi frowned and said: "Brother Jiansan (Luo Xianda's cousin), the Third Army is not a good talker. I guess that Chief Wei is just saying so casually, if we rush to the door to ask for help, we will be in a bad nose, and not only will the reinforcements not be obtained, but people will laugh at it, which is not good. ”

"Eh, what are you afraid of!" Luo Xianda waved his hand, "It makes people laugh and won't lose a piece of meat, the most important thing is to be able to get support, as long as you can get support, everything else is a secondary problem, what is that face." ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Hu Lian's eyes, this Luo Xianda doesn't look a little vulgar in his speech, but he is a coarse and meticulous person, and he grasped the main point of the problem at once. What is face, in Hu Lian's opinion, as long as he can win Hengling Pass, even if he is asked to go to the First Garrison Division to toast and laugh, he is willing, if he can't take Hengling Pass, then all the face will be lost.

Hu Lian smiled and said to Luo Xianda: "Jiansan, don't bother the second master, since you brought it up, then bother you to go to the division headquarters of the first garrison division, I heard that the commander of the first garrison division of the Third Army is named Luo Jia me, and you are a family five hundred years ago, and the two of you must have something to talk about." ”

Luo Xianda touched the back of his head and smiled bitterly: "Shizuo really likes to make fun of my old Luo, but since you said so, then I will go to the first division of the garrison." I've heard people say that the Third Army has made a lot of money just by selling medicine over the years, and even a big-headed soldier there has a salary of two or three oceans every month. ”

"Flutter!"

Hu Lian smiled, pointed at Luo Xianda and shook his head helplessly, "You, this mouth is really poor enough, if you see Chief Su and still say this, don't say accept you, I'm afraid that Chief Su will be the first to beat you out with a big stick." ”

Since the commander started joking, everyone also laughed, and the chief of staff Wang Yuanzhi also joked: "Deputy Division Commander Luo, I heard that Commander Su may come here to inspect the first and second garrison divisions for a while, if you really want to jump to the Third Army, I advise you to wait for Commander Su to come and talk to him directly, I think Commander Su will definitely not refuse, and you will make a lot of money when the time comes." ”

"Go, go, what kind of fun are you making!" Luo Xianda gave Wang Yuanzhi a roll of his eyes, but everyone laughed even more, and several other regiment commanders on the side Yin Zhongyue and other regiment commanders laughed when they saw the commander, but as subordinates, they were not easy to speak, after all, the hierarchy in the army is very strict, and the boss jokes with his subordinates, which is called informality, but if the subordinates dare to joke with the boss, they will be arrogant.

"I'm too lazy to be like you." Luo Xianda rolled his eyes and stood up, but just as he was about to go out, a staff officer came to report.

"Report to the commander, the commander of the 1st Garrison Division of the Third Army, Luo Jia, I am asking to see you outside!"

As soon as the staff officer's words came out, the laughter in the war room suddenly stopped.

"Hey, why is he here?"

"This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Hu Lian was the first to reflect it, and quickly said, "Hurry up and invite him in." ”

Soon, the staff officer walked in with two officers.

When the staff officer brought people in, Hu Lian and the others all looked at each other in unison, only to see that there were two people coming. A tall and thin man, with a somewhat dark appearance, and a very honest face, if it weren't for the gray-green military uniform he was wearing and the golden star on his collar, he would be no different from an old farmer in the countryside on weekdays. The other officer who walked beside him was a medium-sized colonel of extremely strong stature.

As soon as the two of them came in, they glanced at the crowd, and then looked at Hu Lian, who was surrounded by everyone, and they saluted and said: "Luo Jia, commander of the first garrison division, I (Ding Yichun, commander of the second heavy artillery brigade of the Third Group Army) have seen Commander Hu!" ”

It stands to reason that Luo Jia and Hu Lian are both in the rank of major general, and there is no need to take the lead in saluting Hu Lian, but everyone knows that the central government has only five divisions to the Third Army, and theoretically speaking, Luo Jia, the division commander of the National People's Guard Division, belongs to Su Jin himself, and the rank that he arbitrarily sealed cannot be counted. Therefore, it is natural for him to take the lead in saluting after seeing Hu Lian.

After the two of them finished their experience, Hu Lian quickly returned the salute. However, Hu Lian did not put on the shelf of the Central Army, but stepped forward very enthusiastically and shook the hands of the two of them and said with a smile: "I was still talking to a few colleagues about you just now, but I didn't expect to say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive!" I'm really ashamed, I originally planned to visit Master Luo and Brigade Commander Ding tomorrow, but I didn't think that the two of them came over first, what a shame! ”

Luo Jia smiled lightly: "Division Commander Hu is polite, Brigade Commander Ding and I solemnly instructed us before we came to Zhongtiao Mountain, Commander Su must learn from friendly troops after arriving in the First War Zone. Just now I received a report from the Theater Command, saying that Chief Wei had handed over the task of recovering Hengling Pass to the brothers of the 11th Division, and asked us to guard the 1st and 2nd Divisions and the Heavy Artillery Brigade to cooperate with the task of the 11th Division. ”

Listening to Luojia, my posture can be said to be very low, but who is not a human spirit in the audience, although Luojia's words sound soft at first glance, but in fact, they are hidden needles. Although the First Garrison Division is just a local security force privately formed by the Third Group Army, it stands to reason that such a force naturally cannot be compared with the elite of the Central Army like the 11th Division, but it can't stand the strength of others.

Although these officers of the 11th Division who were present were very unhappy when they heard it, they couldn't say anything, it is normal for people to have grievances, and you can still stop people's mouths.

After a while, Hu Lian chuckled, only to see him say sincerely to Luo Jia and Ding Yichun: "Commander Luo, Brigade Commander Ding, I know that the eleventh division came a little abruptly this time, but we are all soldiers, since we have given orders from above, we can only obey, not deliberately to pick peaches, and I hope that Division Commander Luo and Brigade Commander Ding can Haihan if they offend, and after he recovers Zhongtiao Mountain, Hu Lian will prepare a thin wine for you to drink, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hu Lian's words were very beautiful, and Luo Jia and Ding Yichun looked at each other and smiled.

Ding Yichun took the lead and said: "Chief Hu is worthy of being a high-achieving student who graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu, and he speaks and does things so beautifully. Actually, you also misunderstood me and Commander Luo's intentions, this time I and Commander Luo didn't come here to provoke thorns, we are both Chinese soldiers, and we still have the consciousness of fighting the enemy with guns, we just want to ask how we need help in the battle to recover Hengling Pass the day after tomorrow? ”

Ding Yichun's words can be described as a big surprise to everyone, they didn't expect that after they picked peaches, the other party could be so reasonable, not only did they not get angry, but they would take the initiative to ask where they needed help, such a mind is enough to shame everyone.

"Hoo ......"

Many people who were originally nervous secretly let out a long breath.

A trace of surprise and surprise flashed in Hu Lian's eyes, and finally with a touched look on his face, he stepped forward and patted Ding Yichun's arm with some guilt: "Brigade Commander Ding and Division Commander Luo are worthy of being trained by Chief Su, this open-mindedness is enough to shame countless husbands, I thank the two of them on behalf of the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 11th Division!" After speaking, Hu Lian solemnly saluted the two.

"The sir is serious, this is already a matter of duty, why bother to say thank you, if you have any orders, just give them your orders!" Roga: I said it simply.

"Well, in that case, if you shirk it again, it will seem that I am a hypocrisy." Hu Lian pondered for a moment and said to Luo Jiame: "Commander Luo, as soon as the battle starts, the two wings of our 11th Division will depend on you and the 2nd Garrison Division to protect you. ”

"No problem." Luo Jia said cheerfully: "As long as the brothers of our two divisions are not dead, we will never let the devils break through our position." ”

"Brigadier Ding." Hu Lian's gaze turned to Ding Yichun's face, "I have long heard that Commander Su's troops have strong firepower, and there is no shortage of people in our eleventh division who dare to die, but they suffer from the lack of heavy firepower support, I don't know how many artillery pieces can Brigade Commander Ding provide us with the day after tomorrow, and what level of firepower can the support reach?" ”

Ding Yichun smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Chief Hu, although our Second Heavy Artillery Brigade has other tasks to complete and cannot provide all the artillery to support your unit, what I can guarantee is that we can provide you with all-weather artillery support for an M1 155mm heavy howitzer regiment." ”

"155-mm heavy howitzer regiment?"

When everyone heard this, everyone's hearts trembled, God, this is a 155 mm heavy howitzer, since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the entire national army has only one 48 German-made SFH18/L32 150 mm howitzers imported from Germany, since the start of the war due to the lack of shells and battle damage, most of these heavy guns have been damaged now, even if there are a small number of well-preserved artillery guns, they are kept as treasures, and they will not be taken out easily, But now these people are actually a 155-caliber heavy artillery regiment as soon as they open their mouths, which makes them even use 75mm mountain guns with trembling human feelings!

"Is that true?" Even the voice of an old and serious person like Hu Lian had a trill.

Ding Yichun smiled slightly, and then said solemnly: "There is no joke in the army, I can make a military order here, and I will never drag you back the day after tomorrow, and I can promise you that I can provide half an hour of artillery support for your department before launching a total of two." If that's not enough, we can also provide you with uninterrupted air support, so is that enough? ”

"Boom ......"

Ding Yichun's last sentence was like a handful of salt spilled into a hot oil pot, which immediately caused an uproar...... (To be continued.) )
