After General Guo Jiqiao, commander of the Ninth Army, delivered a farewell speech to the newly formed Independent Regiment, all 2,500 officers and men of the Independent Regiment left the barracks and embarked on a journey to Xuzhou, where the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander was located.

Unlike from the 143rd Division to the Second War Zone, this time Gao Quan did not lead a dozen people to act alone, and now he has a regiment of more than 2,000 horses. Although Commander Guo took good care of the Independent Regiment in terms of weapons and equipment, he was not so generous with transportation, except for dozens of carriages sent to the Independent Regiment, he did not even have a single motor vehicle.

Fortunately, Gao Quan still has a little understanding of Chinese geography, and knows that China has a railway artery that runs through the east and west, the Longhai Railway, which takes a train from Linfen to the Longhai line, and then takes the train all the way to the east, just to Xuzhou, where the headquarters of the governor of the Fifth War Zone is located. By train on this journey, of course, a lot of time can be saved, and the safety of the troops can also be guaranteed. With such a long march of troops, even if it is Gao Quan, who is brave, has no bottom in his heart, as for the specific result after the battle with the Japanese army, it will only be said at that time.

All these designs are very good, but the implementation is not so simple, after all, he is not a person or two people to travel, it is more than 2,000 people, or an army with loaded guns, if you want to take the train, it is not so simple. The theater of operations did not arrange railway transportation for the newly formed independent regiments, and everything had to be operated by itself.

It was not particularly difficult to lead the troops to Linfen, after all, this section of the road did not leave Shanxi, and the place where the troops passed was not a Japanese theater, but nothing major happened. After the troops arrived safely at Linfen Station, looking at the whizzing train, Gao Quan let out a long breath, and the first part of the road finally passed safely. Everything is difficult at the beginning, judging from the control of the troops in the past few days, these bandits and bandits are not very reluctant to do manual work such as marching, and they can all walk down. In fact, the physical strength of the bandits is naturally good, otherwise how could they do evil in the mountains? You must know that mountain roads are much more difficult to walk than flat land, since these guys can roar in the mountains, roar away to rob houses, block roads and rob, and fly back and forth on winding, potholed mountain roads, the kung fu on both legs will naturally not be bad.

Linfen Station. The sudden arrival of the GIs disrupted the order of the station at once, and countless passengers who wanted to travel by train looked at these GIs in a daze. Although Taiyuan was lost, the army is the pillar of the country, and people still know that these soldiers fought desperately against the Japanese army on the front line. People in this era were still a little afraid of soldiers, and they didn't dare to talk to them at close range.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment looked at the pedestrians at the station, and thousands of pairs of eyes were not fast enough to see, and a considerable number of them were staring at the duffel bags in the hands of these passengers and the bags in their waists. Many of these people were engaged in shady professions not long ago, and some of them, of course, a small group of people, were experts in kidnapping and extortion, and some were professional pickpockets who had been engaged in a period of time, and now they suddenly came to this bustling train station, looking at the crowds of people carrying large bags and small bags, and the professional habits were a little bit like to attack, of course, it is understandable. Fortunately, they still have their respective commanders and former bosses, so there is no chaos, and they can stay in the waiting hall calmly, and they are safe with all the passengers.

Gao Quan led a platoon of his guard company and went directly to the stationmaster's office at the train station.

The chubby stationmaster immediately greeted him with a smile when he saw this group of soldiers, "Yo, why do you have time to come to my little station today?" "In these years, the one who has a gun in his hand is the uncle, and the stationmaster is well-informed, so he won't offend these Qiu Ba.

"You're the webmaster, aren't you? Our department was ordered by the Commander's Department of the Second Theater to requisition a special train to rush to the Longhai railway line, and asked the stationmaster to cooperate. Gao Quan was afraid that people would not buy the account of his independent regiment, so he directly carried out the war zone. Chief Yan is also the provincial chairman, who dares to go against Chief Yan's intentions?

"Special train?" The stationmaster was obviously shocked by this news, the order of the chief's department was not child's play, and he was a small stationmaster who did not dare to slack off. "There's no problem with the special train, I'll contact you." When he said this, he grabbed the phone on the table and added casually: "Please show Chief Yan's warrant." "Don't dare to be lazy is not to be lazy, and the procedures that should be there are also not dare to omit. Who knows what kind of temper these Qiu Ba have? If you transfer the special train without asking for a warrant, once you let the family catch the mistake of a trick and ask yourself for the crime of dereliction of duty, wouldn't it be a great wrong? There are many examples of people who want to be convenient with others, but cause trouble for themselves, so we will not give examples here.

"There is no warrant, the telegram from the Chief's Department says. As for the content of the telegram, I'm sorry, it involves military secrets, so please forgive me for not telling us. "A military secret will plug all the loopholes tightly, no matter what you want to ask, it is all military secrets.

"So?" As he spoke, the stationmaster put down the phone he grabbed again, "Hehe, sir, don't hide it, without Chief Yan's warrant, you really don't have the right to transfer the special train." "There is not even a warrant, and the stationmaster is now beginning to suspect that these Qiu Ba are planning to hitchhike. Hitchhiker, do you still want a special train? Appetite is just too great!

Gao Quan didn't expect that something would go wrong in this matter. When Yan Laoxi was in Shanxi, for a period of time, he had to ask for his handwritten warrant before the station could send a special train, which was due to the tension of the railway during the war.

Seeing that this guy put down the phone, Gao Quan was a little anxious. If you can't even get a stationmaster, how can you take the train? How did you successfully reach Xuzhou according to the instructions of the war zone? Did you really walk with such a group of people? Gao Quan was anxious, so his eyes looked left and right. Next to him stood Xiao Cai's of the guard company.

Xiao Cai found that the head of the regiment was giving him a look, and reached out and pulled out the box gun in his waist, "You don't want to live, do you?" Transfer the train to us right away! If you talk more nonsense, Lao Tzu will collapse you now! The soldiers of the surrounding guard companies hula surrounded them, and each person had a gun, that is, several guns against the head of the station chief.

The beads of sweat on the stationmaster's head came down with a "sigh", my mother, this is really fatal!

"Sir! Sir! Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong! I mean absolutely nothing else! This special train really requires Director Yan's warrant! Without a warrant, if I transfer the special train to you, Chief Yan will kill my head!" Sir, you are all big people, I beg you, just spare the life of the little one! ”

"Damn, where are you talking so much nonsense? If you don't get the special train out today, you'll have to die now! Xiao Cai said, using the barrel of the box cannon to knock on the stationmaster's fat head, and the stationmaster was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Okay, Xiao Cai." Gao Quan opened his mouth to stop Xiao Cai, "Stationmaster, I know you have a way, think about it?" ”
