For a long time, people in Tongbai Mountain were reluctant to become soldiers. Since Gao Quan punished Adjutant Wang and slaughtered the murderer Lieutenant Cao in public, the number of people who consulted and signed up in front of the various recruitment points in the Tongbai Mountains of the 500 Army suddenly increased. All units of the 500 Army also opened up one after another, and qualified soldiers were recruited in the Tongbai Mountains.

In fact, at that time, the life of the people in the mountainous areas was still relatively hard, and although being a soldier did not necessarily mean that they would be able to get ahead, at least, it was also a way out of life. In a family with no money, the men in the family went to the army, which was also a very helpless way out at that time.

As the old Chinese saying goes: A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail. As long as there are two acres of thin land in the family, and they can barely survive, no one wants to be a soldier. It was only when life was too much to go on, and the whole family could not maintain even the most basic living conditions, that the men were forced to leave home to join the army. Not to mention others, it is Gao Quan's old commander, General Liu Ruming, the commander of the 68th Army, and it was also because when he was young, his family was too poor, and the young Liu Ruming was forced to leave home to join the army.

It is precisely because there are too many ills in the army and the Chinese people's evaluation of the military profession is too poor that the army is unable to recruit soldiers and the arrest of strong men has occurred repeatedly. And because of the arrest of strong men, the people's resistance to the national army has become more and more high, and this has formed a vicious circle: because they can't recruit soldiers, they only catch strong men, and because they can't recruit strong men, they can't recruit soldiers. It was not until the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that the situation improved.

The Chinese people are undoubtedly the greatest people. No matter how much they hate the profession of the soldier in their hearts, when the country is invaded by foreign races, the people still devote themselves to the barracks without hesitation, and fight for the continuation of the bloodline of our historic country with their flesh and blood.

The masses in the Tongbai Mountains were originally closed to news. The Japanese invaded China, and most of the mountain people in the mountainous areas did not know about it. Several large-scale battles launched by the Japanese invaders against the Fifth War Zone had far-reaching consequences. At the beginning, the 119th Division of the 68th Army was stationed in Tongbai and fought against the Japanese invaders in the local area. The Japanese army has also launched many sweeps against Tongbai Mountain. This invisibly popularized the knowledge of anti-Japanese resistance to the people in the mountainous areas, and made the local mountains realize the harm of Japanese devils.

After the 500 troops were stationed in Tongbai Mountain, the masses had not yet considered the connection between this army and the Anti-Japanese War, and Adjutant Wang led people to arrest the strong men. Coupled with the saying of "water and drought locust soup" that was widely circulated among the people at that time, the people were once extremely disappointed in the national army, and even had resentment towards Gao Quan and his 500 troops. It wasn't until Gao Quan angrily punished Adjutant Wang and their gang of villains in public this time that the people in Tongbai Mountain changed their views on the 500 Army.

At the right time, the recruiting stations of the 500 Army set up in various places also began anti-Japanese propaganda, a large number of written explanations, personnel propaganda, and a large number of on-site photos taken by Tang Wenjuan, so that the masses could understand that this army was a real army that had fought against the Japanese invaders and made meritorious contributions.

If you are loyal to the country, you can't be filial at home, and you can't have both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times. Even ordinary people know a little bit about these truths from dramas and stories. The devil has entered our China and wants to occupy our country. Joining the army to fight devils is to be loyal to the country! With the support of such a simple principle, the people in the mountainous areas no longer regard joining the army as a daunting path. Today's soldiers, no longer as in the past, is the last way to survive in desperation, and now joining the army, that is, to defend the country, fight against all evil Japanese devils, and be loyal to the country!

The people enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and as the highest commander of the local garrison, Gao Quan was overjoyed. Every day, I go to and from various recruitment registration points to inspect the recruitment registration points, cordially meet the recruits, talk with the newly recruited soldiers, and help everyone solve some practical difficulties. The recruits' sense of identity with the 500 Army was rapidly enhanced, and they also felt very cordial to Gao Quan's military seat.

Wang Yaobin and his company were spanked by Gao Quan with his pants off and humiliated to the fullest. In particular, he killed Cao Hongjin, the lieutenant deputy company commander, on the spot, and seriously injured the captain and colonel adjutant Wang Yaobin. This matter is so important, those who are soldiers can't hide it if they want to, and in the future, they will no longer be able to enter Tongbai Mountain to collect grain and catch strong men, how can they hide it? Adjutant Wang of the headquarters was castrated, how can he hide it?

At the beginning of his tenure in the border region headquarters of the four provinces, Commander Tang was full of ambition and pride, when he suddenly got such news, and Commander Tang's face drooped at that time! A lieutenant is insignificant, a colonel adjutant, equally dispensable, but he can't afford to lose this face! A small army commander dares not to take his command orders in his eyes, where is the prestige of his commander Tang?

Gaoquan! As soon as Tang Enbo's mind turned, he remembered the past between himself and Gao Quan. This kid didn't take himself seriously at the beginning, but now that he has become a military commander, he doesn't take himself seriously! Hehe, boy, have you forgotten that Lao Tzu is the commander of the four provinces? In terms of jurisdiction, isn't the 500 Army just in charge of his four-province border command?

Commander Tang grabbed the phone and was about to gather a large army, and in the name of not obeying orders and attempting to rebel, he surrounded and suppressed Gao Quan's 500 army! The crank on the telephone shook half a circle, and Commander Tang suddenly reacted that something was wrong! The 500 Army stationed at Tongbai Mountain was not arranged by him, it was arranged by Chief Li in the theater! Moreover, it was because of his great contribution in the last Battle of Changsha that he was promoted to military commander by the principal. Will he offend all sides by sending troops to encircle and suppress him regardless of this?

Tang Enbo is not a reckless person who will be impulsive as soon as he is hot-blooded. Commander Tang's calmness is well-known throughout the army. I think that when Wang Mingzhang was trapped in Teng County, Commander Tang just watched the thousands of men and horses of the 122nd Division die in order to take care of the overall situation, and he could also be cold-hearted and ignore it, how could he lose his mind now?

After thinking about it for a while, Commander Tang decided to send a telegram to the Commander's Department of the Theater to explain the situation here, and report Gao Quan's various evil deeds to Chief Li. Presumably, Li Zongren, who can't rub sand in his eyes, will definitely be able to support himself in sanctioning the 500 army! As long as the commander of the theater nods, there will be nothing to do on the side of the Military Commission. Commander Tang is the confidant and favorite general in front of the commission, and Gao Quan is far and close, and the principal who has millions of armor soldiers in his chest can naturally see everything!

A telegram was photographed at the headquarters of the war zone commander, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Another telegram, waited and waited, and finally waited for the reply from the war zone, but Commander Tang was dumbfounded when he saw it!

It turned out that the reply to the war zone was all about Commander Tang. said that he arrested strong men indiscriminately, connived at his subordinates to commit robberies, damaged the relationship between the military and the people, and corrupted party and military discipline! Ask Commander Tang to rectify it immediately, otherwise, it will be reported to the Military Commission and Commander Tang will be dismissed and sent to Chongqing for trial! As for the incident of Gao Quan's disrespect to his superiors reported by Commander Tang, he didn't even say a word!
