When Yan Hehui, chief of staff of the 180th Division, walked into the division headquarters in a hurry, he found that the division commander Xiang Tianhu was answering the phone, and Xiang Tianhu was responding to the other end of the phone, but the expression on his face was a little strange, some surprised, some excited, some surprised, and more stunned and confused. 【】

After a long time, Xiang Tianhu put down the phone and said to Yan Hehui: "Chief of Staff, are you strange?" Just now, the headquarters personally called from Luoyang, affirming the active offensive we launched in the central and southern regions of the Soviet Union and warmly congratulating us on the achievements we have achieved. When did we launch an active offensive in the central and southern regions of the Soviet Union? Where did the results come from? I'm confused. ”

Yan Youhui said: "Master, I was about to tell you about this. ”

"Well, you know?" Xiang Tianhu's expression perked up, and he said hurriedly, "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Youhui waved his hand and said, "I can't say a sentence or two, you better go out and have a look by yourself, Master." ”

After speaking, Yan and Hui made a gesture to Xiang Tianhu, Xiang Tianhu gave Yan and Hui a startled look, and immediately turned around and walked out of the division headquarters and came to the C field outside.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the division headquarters, Xiang Tianhu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The division headquarters of the 180th Division was originally a school, and outside the division headquarters was the C field of the school, but I saw that the C field was already crowded with war horses, and Xiang Tianhu recognized them at a glance, these war horses were the war horses of the cavalry battalion directly under the division, and these war horses themselves were not worth surprising with the Tianhu, and what surprised the Tianhu was the things on horseback.

I saw that the horses of these war horses were loaded with a lot of equipment!

These equipment can be described as varied, there are everything, there are three steps, machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, and even a large number of radio stations and generators, what surprises Xiang Tianhu is that from the nameplates and logos on these equipment, they are all Japanese equipment of one color.

"This, this, this and this ......" Rao is Xiang Tianhu was used to seeing big scenes, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment, and looked back at Yan and Hui Nene, "Where did these Japanese equipment come from?" ”

Yan Youhui looked at Tiegang and said, "Tiegang, what is the teacher asking you." ”

Tiegang took a step forward and said honestly: "If you go back to the teacher's seat, someone else sent it." ”

"Someone else sent it, who sent it?" Xiang Tianhu said in a mouthful of words, "Who is so generous, a guy sent so much Japanese equipment to our 180th Division, let me see, it's almost enough to equip a regiment, right?" ”

Tiegang shook his head and said, "Master, these equipment are enough to equip a division." ”

Xiang Tianhu said: "You haven't answered me yet, who is so generous?" ”

Tie Gang said in a deep voice: "Commander of the independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division, Xu Rui." ”

Xiang Tianhu was surprised: "Xu Rui, commander of the independent battalion of the 79th Division? ”

"Yes." Tiegang nodded and said, "Battalion Commander Xu said that the grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grace of a drop of water will be repaid, because our 180th Division helped their independent battalion, so he is willing to take out a whole wing of Japanese equipment as a thank you gift." ”

"It's over, it's over, this gift is too heavy, how embarrassing, how embarrassing." Xiang Tianhu rubbed his hands again and again, but his eye expression and tone betrayed him, Xiang Tianhu said that he was embarrassed, but he had already smiled in his heart, and even if Xu Rui came to ask for it back, he couldn't get this batch of equipment back.

Not to mention, this batch of equipment really helped the 180th Division a lot.

After the 77 Incident, the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full swing, and the 29th Army withstood the first wave of onslaught of the Japanese army in North China, and the losses were very heavy.

The 180th Division was also an empty shelf, when it had just retreated from Pingjin to Huainan for rectification, it was only less than one regiment when it was full, and the equipment was even more seriously lacking.

Therefore, the batch of Japanese weapons sent by Xu Rui really solved the urgent need of the 180th Division.

However, after solving the problem of equipment, Xiang Tianhu immediately had a new problem, and now there are guns, and even more than a dozen cannons for the first time, which is enough to make an artillery battalion, but the supply of ammunition has become a new problem, these are all Japanese-style ordnance, where can he get ammunition?

Fortunately, the ordnance given by Xu Rui also contains a batch of ammunition, which is enough to support a while, as for where to get ammunition in the future, I will talk about it later.

At that moment, Xiang Tianhu said to Tie Gang: "Gangzi, where is Camp Chief Xu?" ”

"Didn't come." Tiegang said honestly, "Battalion Commander Xu left with the troops halfway. ”

"Then what's the matter, take someone to chase after it!" Xiang Tianhu's face immediately changed, and he said hurriedly, "Battalion Commander Xu gave such a heavy gift to our 180th division, how can our 180th division not express it?" Otherwise, if this matter is spread, won't it make the whole of China laugh at the people of our 180th Division for not knowing etiquette? ”

Seeing that Tiegang was standing there and didn't move, Yan Youhui urged: "Battalion Commander Tie, why don't you chase after it?" ”

As the chief of staff of the 180th Division, Yan and Hui are very clear about Xiang Tianhu's temperament, or, to put it in layman's terms, Xiang Tianhu pouted P shares, Yan and Hui knew what he wanted to pull, obviously, Xiang Tianhu had the idea of loving talents, and wanted to bring Xu Rui, a tiger general, under his command, or to put it bluntly, Xiang Tianhu wanted to be incorporated into the independent battalion of the 79th Division.

Regarding Xiang Tianhu's plan, Yan and Hui naturally raised their hands in approval, because Xu Rui is really a tiger general!

Not to mention the Battle of Wuxi, the Battle of Baoxing and the Battle of Nantong before, where did this gift come from? Apparently it was captured from the little devil, and the independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division made the little devil a lost dog, and he was able to bite back and eat the devil of an entire wing, what kind of ability is this?

If such a tiger general can be included in the command of the 180th Division, the combat effectiveness of the 180th Division will be greatly improved!

However, no matter whether he gave orders to Tianhu or urged Yan and Hui, Tie Gang still stood in place and did not move.

"What, don't you want to go?" Seeing that Tie Gang didn't move, Xiang Tianhu was annoyed, "Do you have to whip you with a whip?" ”

Tiegang sighed and said: "Shizuo, I know what you think, you still die of this heart, Battalion Commander Xu said before parting, he was very disappointed in the national government, so he decided to break away from the battle sequence of the national army, and planned to go to the Damei Mountains to carry out an independent guerrilla war behind enemy lines. ”

Xiang Tianhu's face suddenly changed slightly when he heard this, and he was worried about another Lu Zhengchao.

Lu Zhengchao led his troops to break away from the Northeast Army a few months ago and became an anti-Japanese armed force under the leadership of the first leader, which caused a great shock in the whole of North China and even the whole of China, in fact, there are not a few generals of the national army who are very disappointed in the national government, Xiang Tianhu is one of them, but he does not have the courage of Lu Zhengc, and Song Zheyuan treats him Xiang Tianhu well, he really can't bear to turn his back on it.

Yan Hehui's heart also sank, and he persuaded: "Master, since this is the case, I think forget it, there is a way for everyone to have their own ambitions, even if Battalion Commander Xu comes to our 180th division, he may not be able to keep it." ”

"That's fine." Xiang Tianhu nodded, and said, "We China has always paid attention to courtesy and exchanges, it stands to reason that Battalion Commander Xu gave us such a heavy gift, how can our 180th Division have something to say, but in the current situation, we really don't have a return gift, I will say that in the future, if the independent battalion of the 79th Division is in difficulty, whether it can help or can't help, our 180th Division must do its best to help." ”

"Yes!" Tie Gang and Yan and Hui stood upright, and said with a serious face.

"Alright." He waved his hand to Tianhu and said, "The military seat just called, and we should also move to Huai'an." ”

Yan Youhui nodded, and said, "Master, how do you reply from the head seat?" Although Battalion Commander Xu gave us a wing of Japanese equipment and equipment, but this wing is an independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division after all, and our 180th Division can accept the equipment of the provisional 79th Division, but we can't be greedy for their merits, right? ”

"Chief of Staff, you're hypocritical." Xiang Tianhu waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Battalion Commander Xu even gave us a whole wing of Japanese weapons and equipment, and he still cares about this mere exploits?" You still don't know the temperament of the Theater Governor's Department and Chairman Chiang, but a ragtag army like ours killed the Japanese emperor, and it was a telegram of commendation. ”

Yan Youhui smiled bitterly: "It's true, the Theater Commander's Department and Chairman Jiang have always only cared about the Central Army. ”

"So, we don't have to worry about this bit of feats at all." Xiang Tianhu snorted, "What's more, the independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division is now hoping that our 180th Division will take their military exploits." ”

"Why is that?" Yan Youhui and Tiegang were puzzled.

Xiang Tianhu said hesitantly: "You think, although the independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division can fight, it is full of wounded soldiers after all, and it has become a tired division, and now what they urgently need is to rest and recuperate, our 180th Division has withstood the exploits of the provisional 79th Division, which has attracted the anger of the devils, and the provisional 79th Division can rest in Dameishan with peace of mind." ”

"Really." Yan Youhui nodded, and said thoughtfully, "At this time, we have taken the combat exploits of the provisional 79th Division, and I really can't say whether it is to help or take the credit of others." ”

"My generation acts, but I want peace of mind, so why bother with these small things?" waved his hand to Tianhu, and then said, "It's this batch of Japanese weapons and equipment, but I don't know how it came about, could it be that the independent battalion of the provisional 79th Division really annihilated an infantry wing of the devil on the way to escape?" This is also an exaggeration. ”

"This ......," Tie Gang whispered, "may not be the strength of the provisional 79th Division." ”

After a pause, Tiegang told him again what he had seen in Hai'an and the Seven Star Lake Marsh.

"Ghosts?" Xiang Tianhu, Yan and Hui were awe-struck when they heard this, "Are there really ghosts in this world?" ”
