The sound of gunfire in the direction of the army is getting weaker and weaker!

Although their resistance was still fierce, the lack of ammunition became an inevitable fatal wound for the Japanese army. In some positions, they had run out of ammunition and food, and had to turn their bayonets against the guns of the [***] team.

This was the rarest scene on the battlefield after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance.

Positions were broken through here and there, groups of Chinese soldiers rushed forward, and piles of Japanese troops were divided and surrounded, and then fell in desperate resistance

By 8 o'clock on the night of the 11th, the annihilation of the field wing was basically completed, and although some positions were still resisting, they could no longer be considered a threat.

In this battle, a total of more than 3,000 elite field wings of the Yue Army were annihilated and 126 people were captured, with brilliant results! The annihilation of a complete wing of the army was unimaginable before.

And the more enticing results are just the beginning. There is also a Kunisaki Noboru brigade, which is waiting for the 23rd Army to digest

However, the casualties paid by the 23rd Army were no less heavy.

In the frontal attack alone, 6,600 people were killed, almost twice as many as the Japanese army, and there are no specific statistics on the wounded or missing.

It can even be said that without Gao Fei's surprise attack on the ammunition depot of the Three Mountain Passes, the battle would not have been able to achieve the decisive victory now.

The name Goofy has once again become the focus of everyone's attention

After completing the surprise attack on the ammunition depot at Sanshan Pass and ending the 3rd Battalion of the Field Wing Headquarters, he was immediately ordered to withdraw from the battlefield and remained under the direct control of the 23rd Army Command.

"Gao Fei, I have already suggested that Liu Yuqing promote you to the head of the regiment. At the same time," Tang Shizun looked at Gao Fei, and then his face became serious: "Promote Gao Fei to lieutenant colonel!" In this raid, Gao Fei made outstanding achievements, rewarded 100 oceans, and redeemed 200 tickets. All the meritorious personnel of the 3rd Battalion were reported by Gao Fei! ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Tang!" Goofy replied loudly, and then someone came up and helped him change the major's epaulettes to a lieutenant colonel. Goofy waited until everything was done and asked:

"Commander-in-Chief Tang, may I ask what is the next task of my 3rd Battalion?"

"Rest!" Tang Shizun showed a smile on his face again: "The 3rd battalion fought very well this time, give me a good rest, and when I want to use you again, I must show the most abundant physical strength and spirit!" ”

"Yes!"

Tang Shizun nodded with satisfaction, and at this moment, he suddenly saw the adjutant hurriedly walk in, and whispered a few words in front of Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua, Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua both changed their faces: "Chairman Jiang sent someone to offer condolences and awards?" ”

When Gao Fei heard that it was a big deal, he was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Zhou Conghua say: "Gao Fei, don't go, it is specifically mentioned that I will reward you in person." ”

Gao Fei was stunned, and he wanted to reward himself?

The group went out cleanly, and saw a car in front of them, and two trucks in the back drove far away, and after stopping, a colonel got down from the car in front, Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua both recognized that this was Chen Cheng's son-in-law and adjutant Yu Chuantao.

"Brother Chuantao, it's been hard all the way." Tang Shizun greeted him with a smile.

"Commander-in-Chief Tang is hard!" Yu Chuantao's "horn" stood upright and saluted a military salute.

Tang Shizun returned a salute and said with a smile: "Brother Chuantao is still polite to me." Although I am a commander-in-chief, your brother is the red man of Commander Chen."

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Yu Chuantao said:

"By the order of Chairman Chiang! The 23rd Group Army of the People's Revolutionary Army of our country fought bravely and annihilated the Japanese invaders, and made outstanding achievements. And send a batch of materials, please accept! ”

As he spoke, the first truck followed with flour, canned food, and other supplies. Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua glanced at each other, and they were all general thoughts in their hearts. What's on the other truck?

What is the purpose of Yu Chuantao's visit? It's definitely not as simple as sending a verbal reward and transporting a truckload of materials that is better than nothing!

At this time, I heard Yu Chuantao ask: "What about the high flying of your group army?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Tang Shizun hurriedly said: "Gao Fei, out of the ranks!" ”

Gao Fei didn't expect to mention his name, so he hurriedly came out of the ranks: "Gao Fei, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 76th Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 151st Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army Army!" ”

"Gao Fei, you are the Gao Fei" Yu Chuantao looked at it carefully for a while:

"Gao Fei, outstanding military achievements, outstanding battlefield performance, and saved the lives of tens of thousands of our compatriots in Nanjing, by the order of Chairman Chiang and the Supreme Military Commission, he was specially awarded the Order of Baoding of the Third Class!"

"Whoa", the scene was in an uproar.

The Order of Baoding of the third class is the highest commendation that a colonel-level officer can receive. The entire 23rd Group Army, which surrounded the Kunizaki Deng Brigade, only received verbal commendations, and one Gao Fei received the only Baoding Medal of the 23rd Group Army so far!

Gao Fei was also a little dazed, watching Yu Chuantao wear the Baoding Medal under the collar, and didn't understand it for a while.

Why did you award yourself the Order of Baoding?

Who would have thought that the matter was not over yet, and heard Yu Chuantao say: "In addition, all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion where Gao Fei is located are specially rewarded with 30,000 yuan in legal currency." In addition, a batch of special commendation materials, including 12 Czech machine guns"

Yu Chuantao read the list of supplies there, and Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua looked at each other. By this time, they finally understood what was going on.

Chairman of the Committee, this is a fancy for Gao Fei. And it cost a lot.

But the strange thing is, how could the chairman of the committee take a fancy to a little Gao Fei?

It's easy to wait for Yu Chuantao to finish reading, and Gao Fei is upright: "Thank you to the government, thank you for the commission!" ”

Yu Chuantao didn't say anything else, just glanced at Gao Fei meaningfully, and then followed Tang Shizun and Zhou Conghua together, but took a break for the time being

At this time, the fiat currency received more than 10 million pounds and 50 million US dollars in loans from the United Kingdom and the United States because of the national political axe to maintain the exchange rate of the fiat currency, so it was still relatively strong.

And the 30,000 fiat currency awarded by the 3rd Battalion is not a particularly large amount, but it is not a small amount.

Gao Fei handed over 30,000 fiat currency and the new supplementary materials he had obtained to Ma Debi and Yu Wenzheng, and asked them to distribute them evenly among all the officers and soldiers according to their combat exploits.

Yu Zhenhai and Lao Hei were given an extra 1,000 fiat coins because of their credit for blowing up the arsenal and killing Tian Yexiao, and the rest ranged from a few yuan to hundreds of dollars.

As soon as the old black money arrived, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and stabbed Yu Zhenhai, who was a little dazed: "Hey, I said Fang Brain, so much money, why do you use it?" ”

"I have to send it to the twins, as well as the brothers who were in the bomb medicine depot" Yu Zhenhai said softly: "The people are gone, the people are gone, they still have cousins and babies here, I can't"

Lao Hei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fang Braincase to say such a thing, and the joy when he got the bounty at the beginning was suddenly assumed a lot.

"Battalion commander, Yu Chuantao is here." Yu Wenzheng hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice.

Gao Fei nodded, he knew that things were not so simple, and Yu Chuantao would come to him sooner or later. After tidying up the military uniform, he left the camp headquarters, and Yu Chuantao was already coming head-on.

"Hello sir."

"You're welcome, come over to see how brave your 3rd Battalion is." With a smile on his face, Yu Chuantao walked into the camp headquarters with Gao Fei.

Gao Fei poured water, put it in front of Yu Chuantao, and sat down on the side again.

"Just now, I heard from Commander-in-Chief Tang that your 3rd battalion blew up the ammunition depot of the Japanese and killed the Japanese chief Tian Ye Xiao Dazuo, which is great, amazing, this is my [***] feat!"

Yu Chuantao said in admiration.

"The chief has won the prize, but it's just a little luckier"

Yu Chuantao waved his hand: "There is indeed an element of luck in fighting, but if you keep winning battles, will you always have luck?" I think it's still the reason for the good command. ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of water from his cup and saw Gao Fei's rank of lieutenant colonel: "I have to congratulate you on your promotion to lieutenant colonel." It's just that with your combat exploits, it's still a little smaller."

I can't figure out Yu Chuantao's intention, Gao Fei has no interface. I only heard Yu Chuantao say:

"The commission specifically mentioned you. Do you know what the commission says about you? Seeing Gao Fei shake his head, Yu Chuantao smiled and continued:

"The commission said, with your high-flying merits, it is not an exaggeration to give you a colonel"

"Thank you." Goofy replied.

"The Order of the Third Class Baoding awarded to you this time, as well as the weapons and ammunition, are all orders issued by the commission himself. Rare, rare that. How busy is it to lead the people of the whole country in the war of resistance? But in the midst of his busy schedule, it is really rare to give special instructions to your senior brother. I see that Brother Gao is only flying in the middle of nowhere. ”

As he spoke, he took out a red cloth bag from his pocket and put it in front of Goofy:

"My old Taishan, Commander Chen said before I left, saying that you Gao Fei had a life-saving grace for him, and he performed so well on the battlefield, Commander Chen was very pleased, so he dragged me to bring two gold bars, one is to thank you for saving your life, and the other is to be regarded as a reward for you."

Opening the red cloth bag, two golden bars appeared in front of Gao Fei.

"Thank you, Commander Chen, I will distribute this gold bar to the brothers below on behalf of Commander Chen." Gao Fei was not polite, and Yu Chuantao's face also showed a look of satisfaction.

Gao Fei sighed a little in his heart, but it was still the Central Army who made a generous move. The 3rd Battalion made such a great contribution this time, and the reward of the 23rd Army was 100 for the ocean and 200 for the ticket. And as soon as Chiang Kai-shek made a move, it was the Baoding Medal, a cart of munitions, and an attractive gold bar

And at this time, why Yu Chuantao came this time, Gao Fei already knew in his heart

"Since the Sichuan army left Sichuan, Shanghai and Shanxi have been fighting, and they have made great achievements, which is admirable." Yu Chuantao's words changed: "It's just that my brother said something that shouldn't be said, Brother Gao laughed after hearing it, don't take it to heart." ”

Gao Fei knew that the topic was coming, and Yu Chuantao said slowly:

"The Sichuan army is willing to endure hardships, can fight, and dare to sacrifice, which is well known and admired by everyone, but then again, the current war is not enough on these alone. For example, I just heard that if it weren't for your brother Gao who did a few earth-shattering things, I'm afraid that the field wing has not been annihilated until now. The same is true for a wing of the Japanese Invaders, not to mention an even more difficult Kunisaki Den Brigade to deal with? ”

Glancing at Gao Fei, seeing that the young officer didn't have much expression on his face, Yu Chuantao smiled and said:

"So, equipment is still very important. There are cannons and machine guns, and I think this battle is much easier to fight. Of course, it is also important to have the right leader, for example, the 3rd battalion has your senior brother."

Gao Fei smiled slightly, he knew what Yu Chuantao was going to say next. Sure enough, I heard Yu Chuantao say:

"This is true of a battalion, and it is true of a country. Only under the leadership of a strong leader can the whole country unite as one and finally achieve the final victory of the War of Resistance. What does Brother Gao think? ”

"Yes." Goofy replied calmly.

"Your brother Gao is a smart person, there are some things that don't need to be explained to you in detail, and you understand it in your heart." Yu Chuantao's fingers clasped the tabletop, tapping lightly one by one, as if reminding Gao Fei of something:

"Whether it is the 23rd Group Army or the entire Sichuan Army, it is ultimately under the leadership of Chairman Jiang, and there is no doubt about this general policy, so to put it mildly, your brother Gao is actually also resisting under the leadership of Chairman Jiang!"

"Yes." Goofy still only had these two words to answer.

Yu Chuantao couldn't figure out what Gao Fei was thinking:

"It's best if you can understand this, Commander Chen originally wanted to bring you back, but then after thinking about it, the fierce battle against the Kunisaki Deng Brigade is in full swing right now, and it is not good to transfer you away at this time, not to mention that you may not agree to Gao Fei. Therefore, Commander Chen specially asked me to bring you a sentence. 'Gao Fei, you were promoted by me, do a good job, I have already brought a message to Xue Boling, you Gao Fei wants people, guns and guns, don't worry about anything, fight more beautiful battles for me to see, show the chairman." If you want everyone to know that I am promoted, the person who the chairman likes will not be wrong. ’”

At this point, there is no more explicit anymore.

Gao Fei is a member of the 23rd Group Army and the 26th Division, but in Chen Cheng's mouth, he has become a member of the Central Army system, but he is just "loaned" to the 23rd Group Army.

Goofy doesn't have the ability to say no, and he knows what the consequences will be if he refuses

Now, Chen Cheng can take a fancy to himself, no matter what he wants, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue will not refuse, but what if he doesn't agree to their request?

Gao Fei exhaled softly: "Please tell Commander Chen, no matter where you are, Gao Fei is a [***] person." ”

Yu Chuantao smiled slightly and stood up:

"Gao Fei, do a good job here, fight for breath, after all, you are the representative of Commander Chen, don't care about anything, even if you come to the Central Army in the future, you Gao Fei is still the Sichuan Army like the troops under your command!"
