"What...... Let's rush to Nanchang immediately? Bai Hongshan couldn't help but be shocked, and asked in a lost voice: "Then what should I do here?" You must know that if we don't occupy Gao'an, our back road will not be guaranteed! ”

The communication soldier said for some time: "Chief Xue said that Gao An handed over to the troops behind, and someone will soon take over here." ”

"Who is it? Lao Tzu wants to see who is so bold as to dare to pick the peaches of our independent brigade! Bai Hongshan asked angrily.

Looking at Bai Hongshan's flushed face, the communication soldier stammered, "Yes...... is the ...... of the new part 10th Division. ”

"The new 10th Division!" Bai Hongshan smiled angrily: "Okay...... Ah, this Liu Zhengfu (commander of the new 10th Division) has a long ability, and even dares to pick our peaches, it seems that we still underestimate them on weekdays. You go and tell the new 10th Division, Lao Tzu is not leaving, he Liu Zheng is rich in ability, so he will come directly to Lao Tzu and say, don't fuck me always doing some unsavory things behind my back. ”

"Bai Hongshan, you fucking shut up Lao Tzu, do you talk about the chief like this?" Su Jin glared at Bai Hongshan impatiently, "What do you know, Chief Xue asked us to rush to Nanchang naturally with Chief Xue's considerations, isn't it just a Gao'an City, whoever fights or not, they are all brothers of the national army, why do you have such a clear division?" ”

Bai Hongshan was anxious: "Sir, but Liu Zhengfu is clearly here to pick peaches this time, we have been fighting for a long time, and we see that we can take it down with more effort, why should we give this credit to the one surnamed Liu!" ”

"You know what?" Su Jin scolded angrily: "You are also a regiment commander now, how can you still be as ignorant as you were a company commander before, everything must be based on the overall situation, our main task this time is to recover Nanchang, not to mess around with the Japanese here." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Su Jin was angry, Bai Hongshan could only reluctantly bow his head and stop talking, but he still looked seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied, Su Jin looked at the depressed look on Bai Hongshan's face. He flicked his breath and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You know, you may be thinking in your heart, our independent brigade can take Gaoping by itself, why should we give the credit to the new 10th Division, wouldn't it be better for us to eat it ourselves?" But have you ever thought about it, although the taste of eating alone is wonderful, but eating too much alone will also cause diarrhea. Besides, the days ahead are still long, how do you know that in the future, we will not seek the place of the new 10th Division or even the 58th Army, and we will have a good relationship with them today. He might be able to gain even more in the future! ”

After Su Jin's bitter explanation, Bai Hongshan also figured it out in his heart. In fact, he also understands that Huaxia has been a personal society since ancient times, and it pays attention to the sedan chair carrying people, and the combat effectiveness of the independent brigade is certainly powerful, and this Gao'an City can be taken down without the help of others, but now that the 32nd Group Army's attack on Nanchang is blocked and needs reinforcements from the Independent Brigade urgently, why should they offend Chief Xue and the new 10th Division at the same time for a small Gao'an City? As the saying goes, many friends have many paths. This favor is not given in vain today, and if the Independent Brigade wants to ask the new 10th Division to help them with anything in the future, they will be embarrassed to refuse.

Thinking of this, Bai Hongshan's heart brightened a lot, and he didn't contradict Su Jin's order. His mind immediately turned and blurted out: "Sir, since we want to give Liu Zhengfu a big favor, it is better to do good things to the end." I estimate that the new 10th Division does not have much artillery, and it may be a little troublesome to capture Gao'an. Let's let the other troops go first, leave the supplementary regiment to maintain the state of defense of Gao'an, and then let the two 105 howitzer battalions cover the Japanese army with artillery fire for another thirty minutes. Wouldn't it be best to wait until the new 10th Division arrives to launch a general attack on the Japanese army? ”

Su Jin thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he slapped Bai Hongshan's shoulder and laughed: "Okay, Lao Bai, your method is good, since we want to send favors, then send it to Ming, and let that Liu Zhengfu understand it, and he will be embarrassed to play tricks in the future." The more Su Jin looked like it, the more he felt that this method was good, and he praised it without words, which made Bai Hongshan a little embarrassed.

Soon the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments of the Independent Brigade withdrew from their starting positions and advanced in the direction of Nanchang, followed closely by the baggage battalion, the medical brigade, the heavy artillery battalion, and the brigade's subordinate troops, leaving only the supplementary battalion and two 105th howitzer battalions behind to wait for the arrival of the new 10th Division.

However, the two howitzer battalions that stayed were not idle, and with Bai Hongshan's order, the fifty-four M101105 mm howitzers belonging to the two howitzer battalions immediately launched another round of shelling of the Japanese positions in Gao'an.

The rumbling cannon rang out again, and the explosions shook the ground beneath their feet.

On the road about four or five kilometers away from Gao'an, a unit wearing an earthy yellow military uniform was running towards Gao'an, and this team was ordered by Xue Yue to rush to Gao'an's new 10th Division.

Liu Zhengfu was riding on a red war horse, listening to the rumbling cannon sound in front of him, his face showed a trace of inexplicable expression.

Sang Guosheng, the chief of staff on the side, looked at the look on Liu Zhengfu's face that wanted to say goodbye, and naturally knew what his commander was worried about, and he opened his mouth to comfort: "Sir, you don't have to be so embarrassed, we have sealed the order of Chief Xue this time to take over the independent brigade to attack Gao'an, and we don't want to rob them of their credit, they can't complain about us." ”

"Of course I know that." Liu Zhengfu smiled bitterly: "But you don't want to think about it, what will we think in our hearts if we encounter this situation?" Will you be so willing to give away the credit that is about to be given? ”

"This ......"

Sang Guosheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, yes...... Although everyone can talk about the truth, but people are not sages, who can be so generous to give away the credit that is about to be given, the so-called easy to know is difficult to say this truth.

With apprehension, Liu Zhengfu and Sang Guosheng led the troops to speed up, and finally arrived at Gao'an after more than 20 minutes, but to their surprise, as soon as they arrived, a colonel wearing a gray-green German military uniform strode over, and after asking them about their identities, the officer saluted them and said loudly: "Report to Chief Liu, the rank is Bai Hongshan, the commander of the Independent Brigade Artillery Regiment." After receiving the order from Commander Xue, our brigade commander immediately led his troops to Nanchang first. It is only because of the fear that your unit lacks heavy firepower that two howitzer battalions were specially left to continue shelling the Japanese army, and now the half-hour artillery coverage of the second line of defense of the Japanese army has been completed, and our army will begin to withdraw and prepare to follow the advance of the large army, and ask the commander to take over the position of our army. In addition, the department suggested that since our unit had just finished shelling the Japanese army, it was suggested that your unit immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army, so that it could also achieve twice the result with half the effort! ”

When Bai Hongshan said this, Liu Zhengfu and Sang Guosheng couldn't believe their ears, could it be that good people have been flooded to this point in recent years? My group can be said to have come to pick peaches, and the other party not only did not complain but also helped them clear the obstacles, which ...... This is so unscientific.

It's just that the other party doesn't care so much, and after finishing speaking, Bai Hongshan left here, leaving only Liu Zhengfu and Sang Guosheng, who were stunned.

However, Liu Zhengfu and Sang Guosheng were not rookies on the first day of service, and when they came to their senses, they immediately ordered the troops to start taking over the departure positions left by the independent brigade, and soon the vanguard launched a tentative attack on the positions of the Japanese garrison wing. However, this attack was not tight, when the soldiers of the new 10th Division launched an attack, they were surprised to find that the Japanese positions had already been bombed beyond recognition, and the Japanese resistance was unexpectedly weak, and the new 10th Division only took less than two hours to annihilate the Japanese garrison, except for about a squadron of Japanese troops who took advantage of the chaos to escape, the rest of the Japanese troops were all annihilated.

When Liu Zhengfu received the results of the battle sent by Sang Guosheng, he was silent for a long time, and the battle report in his hand clearly stated that more than 2,400 enemies were annihilated, more than 1,000 rifles, more than 40 machine guns, and two Type 92 infantry guns were captured, and his own casualties were less than 300.

Looking at such a battle report, Liu Zhengfu felt as if he was stepping on the clouds, and the whole person was a little dizzy, and finally he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Guosheng, now we owe the independence brigade a favor, but we owe a lot of money, and I don't know how to pay it off." ”

Sang Guosheng also smiled bitterly, "Master, anyway, the matter has come to this, let's write it down first, there will always be a chance to pay it back in the future, anyway, our division is just like this, and it's a different thing whether people look down on it or not." ”

Not to mention Liu Zhengfu's sigh there, the independent brigade under the leadership of Su Jin after a day and a night of hurrying, finally arrived outside the city of Nanchang on 28 March, but just outside the city he received a bad news, the 32nd Group Army that served as the attack in the past few days did not go well, under the resistance of the 101st and 107th divisions stationed in Nanchang, the 32nd Group Army suffered heavy casualties, although after desperate fighting, the 32nd Group Army broke through the Japanese defense line and killed under the city of Nanchang, However, in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army and the bombardment of fighter planes, the 32nd Army had no way to advance another half a minute.

At 5:37 p.m. on 28 March, Su Jin came to Shiqi Township, located southwest of Nanchang, where the headquarters of the 32nd Group Army was located.

"Report, Su Jin, the commander of the Shandong Independent Brigade, was ordered to come to report, please instruct the commander!" (To be continued.) )
