Chapter 11 The military car arrives
The fifth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China. The deadline for the transfer of the newly formed independent regiment of the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army to the Fifth Theater has arrived.
Early in the morning, the whole courtyard was full of chaotic crowds, and today the military seat Guo Jiqiao was going to see off his subordinates on the expedition, and Gao Quan specially notified the officers and soldiers of the regiment to assemble in the square. In any case, the military seat of the family came to see him off in person, and the face that should be given still has to be given. It's just that these soldiers on the playground are not as ruthless as they say.
Some people hold wine bottles early in the morning, and they have nothing to drink two sips, some people hold cigarettes and sway, some squat, some sit, some catch lice, some pick their feet, in short, there are all kinds of people here.
It's not that Gao Quan doesn't really want to care, it's just that he really doesn't have time to care. Dozens of people in these ranks came only the day before yesterday, and from the day of the festival to the beginning of the year, new heroes came to join the army every day. Gao Quan is now busy visiting various mountains most of the time, lobbying the heroes he knows, doesn't know, and has heard or hasn't heard of to come to participate in the ** and participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, and there are very few times when he stays in the barracks. In the past ten days, more than 1,200 recruits have joined, exactly half more than the original 800 people, and if we add the 500 heroes of Jinjiling that were incorporated a while ago, more than two-thirds of the manpower of the entire independent regiment was still a bandit who was the king of the mountain a month ago. As a result, there are more personnel, but it has also completely damaged the atmosphere of the troops, and even the 800-strong independent regimental base unit in the past has now been affected by these people and has begun to become a bit of a bandit.
Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi once expressed their worries to Gao Quan about this. With such a force, if they encounter devils on the battlefield, whether they can win or not, to be honest, the two are very optimistic about the prospects of this army. Gao Quan was also dissatisfied with these people, but if he wanted to bring the eight hundred people at the beginning to the battlefield, he would still prefer to bring these two thousand five hundred people. At the very least, most of these people have already fired, and they are more courageous than ordinary people, and they dare to kill their opponents at critical moments. No matter how good these people are, they are better suited to the battlefield than honest peasants who have just laid down their hoes and sickles. As for military discipline, it's better to survive first, and then think about those extravagant things.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a large car stopped outside the gate of the Independence Regiment's station. Originally, the drivers wanted to drive in directly, but when the driver of the first car found that the courtyard of the newly formed independent regiment was full of people, and there was really no place for them to park, he resolutely parked the car at the gate of the independent regiment station.
With the "thump" of the door opening and closing, and the loud sound of passwords, first a platoon of guards assembled, first drove into the compound of the newly formed independent regiment, and then a large group of officers surrounded a lieutenant general in the center.
"Stand upright!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
"Oops! You're a big ball, if you push me again, I'll beat you to death! ”
After the soldiers of the guard platoon of the military department drove into the courtyard, they found that the people in the courtyard had blocked the road, and the military seat was right behind. The duty of the guards is to provide a safe environment for the commander, and the current chaotic scene is obviously completely incompatible with the word safety. Thirty or so guards and soldiers immediately began to push the crowd out with the butts of their rifles, trying to make a clean place for the military seats and the commanders who came in later, which was too crowded.
Who are the people who can stand at the camp gate and block the way of the independent regiment at this time? It's definitely not the original 800 soldiers, those 800 people have been trained by Gao Quan, Wang Dazhu, and Qian Sixi for more than a month, although they don't dare to say how elite they are, at least what a soldier should do, these people still know, and now they are the only ones standing in the camp playground. As for these people who were pushed by the guards of the military headquarters at the gate of the camp, of course, they were the heroes who thought they were better mixed, had a relatively high status, and were more active in their thinking on the top of this 100-mile mountain.
The reason why these people crowded to the gate of the camp is that they want to see what the so-called ** officials look like. These people are so-called well-mixed, that is, among their peers, and the dignified government generals, there is still a world of difference in identity. If they hadn't joined the government army now, and if General Guo hadn't personally come to see them off today, these people might never have seen a real general in their lives. Today, with this kind of opportunity, how can these restless elements, who were originally idle and still have to make trouble, not come to see a rarity? These guys don't think about it, General Guo didn't come to take a picture and leave, why didn't they have to say a few words, make an impromptu speech or something, they could see the general's demeanor sooner or later, so why did they have to crowd to the gate at this time?
The guards of the military department are already very restrained, and it is not too much to arrest this kind of guy who does not abide by military discipline and may threaten the safety of the commander! The guards took into account the nature of today's meeting, and did not want to spoil the excitement of the military seat, but just gently pushed these impolite guys out with the butts of their guns, without even smashing them with the butts of their guns, which was already the gentlest way that the guards could do when driving away the crowd.
The guards thought they were doing it gently and measuredly, and the good guys who were shoved didn't think so! The heroes are the best on their respective hills, usually even if they meet the family members on other hills, they have to give them three points of face, and now they are being driven by a group of small soldiers with guns, like chasing flowers, how can these heroes who look at face bigger than the sky give up?
I don't know which one couldn't help but move first. Which of these guys is good at stubble? As soon as he saw someone making a move, he immediately rushed over to a group, stretched his arms and sleeves, and came up to help. There was only one platoon of guard soldiers, and in the big scene of several thousand people, it seemed that they were alone. These guys looked fierce one by one, and they went straight to the front with no bad intentions on their faces. The two sides soon came into contact, and although the soldiers of the guard platoon were much smaller in number, they still fought bravely with the gangsters, and one soldier raised his gun into the air, "Da Da Da!" "A shuttle of bullets hit the sky.
"What's going on?" Gao Quan was smiling and saluting the military seat at the gate of the camp, when he heard a gun in the courtyard, he didn't care about his military seat, and ran into the military camp as soon as he slipped away. It is not good to hang the military seat there, but if there is bloodshed in the barracks, it will be a great event!
Fortunately, today I knew that the military seat was coming, in order to prevent accidents, Gao Quan put away all the weapons in advance, except for the necessary security personnel, the people in the compound were unarmed, so there was no bigger safety accident.
After Gao Quan entered the camp gate, Guo Jiqiao also followed into the camp gate, and the two of them were not a few steps apart. Shots rang out inside the camp gate, and of course Commander Guo wanted to see what was going on. As a result, the first thing that caught the eye of the two commanders as soon as they entered the camp gate was that more than 20 of the more than 30 soldiers in the guard platoon of the military headquarters had been subdued, and the rest were also being beaten by the soldiers of the independent regiment!
"Stop it all!"
At the critical moment, Gao Quan stopped drinking! Fortunately, these heroes really gave him face as the regiment commander, and the heroes who were fighting and holding those guards and soldiers immediately retreated, and disappeared when they got into the crowd, and the crowd also involuntarily retreated more than ten steps back because of Gao Quan's angry eyes, and just exposed a vacant lot in front of the newly built review stand yesterday. There were only thirty or so military guards and soldiers with blue noses and swollen faces left in the clearing. Of course, Gao Quan can't ask the case now, and it is even more impossible to blame his soldiers at this time, the military seat is still waiting in the back!
Looking back, he happened to see Guo Jiqiao entering the camp gate with a blushing face, Gao Quan hurriedly ran up two steps, and saluted with a "snap", "Please take the military seat on the rostrum and give a lecture to all the officers and soldiers of our regiment!" ”
