Chapter 16 The second entry into the Dabie Mountain
All of a sudden, all kinds of aid materials were placed in front of him, and Gao Quan naturally smiled happily and kept clasping his fists to the generous chiefs to express his gratitude.
In the end, Chief Hu slapped the table, "Okay, it's decided!" Our 17th Army Corps sent 500 divisions to the Dabie Mountains in Xinyang to participate in the battle! I'll go and reply to the war zone, the military commission. I hope that you will send the equipment you just promised to the headquarters of the 500th Division as soon as possible, so that Division Commander Gao can start pulling it out as soon as possible! ”
After the meeting was dismissed, Gao Quan was naturally left behind by Chief Hu, who wanted to tell him about the battle situation in the Xinyang area, and of course, the most important thing was to talk to him about the distribution of forces in Dabie Mountain and about the guerrilla corps.
The Guerrilla Corps turned out to be after the Battle of Xuzhou, and the scattered troops fled to the Dabie Mountains, and the Military Commission saw that it was more troublesome for these troops to regroup and return to the system, and there was such a long way in between, so they came up with such an idea to rebuild a number in the Dabie Mountains, which was called the Southern Henan Guerrilla Corps. Although a general captain was sent, the general captain was only a part-time officer, and the people also had their own troops, which did not often appear in the Dabie Mountains, where the current form was basically the same as before, and the various units fought separately, guerrilla attacks between Japanese and bandits.
Although it is said that they have not achieved any brilliant results, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of these people that the Japanese army occupying Xinyang cannot let go of their hands and feet to continue the expedition.
These people sent a telegram to Chief Hu a few days ago, and Chief Hu didn't want to deal with them, who would have thought that there were really people with hands and eyes among them, and handed the words to the commission. In any case, they are also the best troops, and letting these people be eaten by devils is what the adults don't want to see. So, with a paper order, the commissioner gave his proud protégé to rescue those people.
After Chief Hu told Gao Quan about the general distribution of the scattered troops in Dabie Mountain, he looked at Gao Quan and said seriously: "Zhizhi, I know that this time the matter is a little difficult. Don't worry, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the commission, and when you come back from Dabie Mountain, I will definitely find a way to add another star to your shoulder. "One more star is a lieutenant general, Chief Hu actually said all this, it can be seen that he really feels sorry for Gao Quan.
"More chief cultivation! There is also a request from the Ministry of Ranks, this time to fight in Dabie Mountain, I am afraid that I will not be able to receive teachings in front of the commander in a short period of time. "What an affectionate sentence, after Gao Quan said this, even he himself was a little moved, the Chief Hu opposite was indeed exactly the same as just now, and now this kind of words can't move the wise and wise Chief Hu." Since it is a mountain battle, I ask the commander to give me more military uniforms and uniforms, and I may not have a place to replenish them for a long time. "That's it, I'm drilling in the mountains, where can I get a new uniform?" In addition, I also want to ask the commander to give me a military order, all the ** troops in the Dabie Mountains, as long as I can touch them, will be under the command of my 500 divisions, and the government orders will be unified, so that we can defeat the stubborn enemy. ”
Of course, Chief Hu knew the consequences of the disunity of orders, but he could also see that Gao Quan wanted to use the holy decree to do things to expand his strength privately. Or that sentence, what does this matter have to do with him Hu Zongnan? From now on, it will be all Gao Quan and the guerrilla corps! He, Chief Hu, just played the role of a needle thread. "Okay, I'll say yes to everything you say! Military uniforms, light and heavy machine gun grenadiers, I will give you whatever you want. The First Army can't give you so much, I'll open the quartermaster warehouse of the Legion Headquarters for you, and you can take whatever you need! As for the warrant, I can also issue it to you. However, my warrant is not very useful, so I'll go and ask you for an order to go to a war zone! "Chief Hu is going to help Gao Quan to the end, and he even agreed to the order of the war zone, and it is estimated that if the war zone does not give it, he can go to the commission seat to ask for it.
Gao Quan ordered Qian Sixi to take two battalions to the munitions warehouse of the corps headquarters, or the director of the quartermaster department, this time there is no need to give him gifts, with the order of Chief Hu, this director Zhu's attitude is good, open the door of the munitions depot, free delivery, whatever you want, whatever!
Qian Sixi looked at those anti-aircraft howitzers with greed! It's all casual now! But he also knew that he was going to fight in the mountains now, and even if he took it, he couldn't take it with him! Finally, gritting your teeth, stomping your feet, and asking for two doors each, it means it! Take too much, he really can't take it. Qian Sixi was shrewd in his heart, the mountainous area is not suitable for heavy weapons, but if you don't have it at all, it's also troublesome to really encounter the devil's heavy weapons, isn't it? There are only two guns of each, which means that there are only four heavy artillery, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people in the 500 divisions, even if they are carried by people, they can easily carry these guns away! Of course, he can take more of them, isn't he afraid that Gao Quan will not be satisfied.
This is the second time that Gao Quan has led his troops to the expedition under the personal farewell of Chief Hu, although it is something he is willing to do to fight with the Japanese invaders, but seeing the sympathetic looks on the faces of those generals who are with Chief Hu, why is his heart so unbalanced? No wonder people say: People do not suffer from poverty, but only from inequality.
The order issued by Commander Li in the theater has been obtained, and all the scattered armed forces in the Dabie Mountains are all under the control of the 500 Division. Having received this sword-like order, Gao Quan was so proud in his heart. With this order, he is not afraid of the troops and the devils. The troops are in an uproar, and they go directly to absorb these scattered troops, these guys are all veterans who have fought with the Japanese army, and he no longer has to work hard all day long to persuade the bandits to submit, with these veterans, he has a large number of soldiers who can be used when they come!
Jigong Mountain, the terrain is still so complicated, and the mountain road is still so tortuous. Before entering the mountain, Gao Quan put the troops in a long snake formation. With a regiment as a unit, a regiment marches from regiment to regiment, with an interval of 10 minutes in between, of course, at the forefront of the whole army must still be a company of the reconnaissance battalion. From the air, the 500th Division looked like a giant centipede, driving into the mountains.
Qian Sixi's 500 Brigade, led by Jin Feilong, Wu Laosan and others, went to contact those local bandits and heroes, and with the support of these land-sitting households, they could carry out their work better. Gao Quan knew that if he entered Jigong Mountain again this time, he would not change again in a short period of time. Although Jin Feilong and these people are also authentic locals, after all, they have been gone for a while, and what is the form in the mountains now, these people must not know, and finding their accomplices is naturally a top priority.
Gao Quan took the 201 Brigade and the team directly under the division headquarters to wander around in the mountains, looking for opportunities to fight the Japanese army while looking for the men and horses of the guerrilla corps.
