Chapter 12 The Recruitment of Chief Hu
"That's right! Hit him a little Japan! ”
Huang Sanpao and Chang Zhankui were the first to respond and shouted loudly, Jin Feilong saw that he had just joined the Independent Brigade, of course, he had to follow the commander to keep in line, and he also stood up and shouted loudly, and the twenty or so newly promoted ** officers who followed him naturally shouted with their own boss.
With these efforts, the emotions of those simple-minded and well-limbed mountain bandits were quickly aroused, and Gao Quan took advantage of the situation to give everyone a lecture on the principle of resisting Japan and saving the country, popularizing the long-standing roots of hatred between China and the United States, as well as the disasters caused by the devils to the Chinese people. So a simple gathering of bandits immediately turned into an anti-Japanese mobilization meeting, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the bandits on Jigong Mountain was quickly mobilized!
From then on, no matter which mountain Gao Quan went to, the bandits on the mountain saw him, just like the underground party saw the organization, not to mention how affectionate they were. In the past, it was still superficially respectful, but now it is close from the heart, and Gao Quan's prestige in Jigong Mountain is increasing day by day. Later, there was even a certain cottage owner who proposed to ask Gao Quan to be the chief scoop of the cottage in Jigong Mountain, the leader of the martial arts alliance! Of course, this proposal was rejected by our wise and wise Brigade Commander Gao with a smile, just kidding, as long as this alliance leader becomes the leader, if he wants to go further within the ** system in the future, then there will be no more fun! No matter how tolerant the commission is, it is impossible to tolerate the general alliance leader of a bandit under his command to be the commander of the army and the commander.
The Japanese invaders will not stop their aggression against our country until they have planted a big heel.
On the night of June 11, the 27th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese Koubotan detachment took advantage of the rainy night to raid Anqing, opening the prelude to the Battle of Wuhan.
After the Japanese 3rd and 10th Divisions occupied Gushi, they began to attack Huangchuan in southern Henan on 9 September. The Huangchuan guard is the peerless famous general Zhang Zizhong. General Zhang once again showed his ability to fight well for the Chinese people. Under the city of Huangchuan, he fought a bloody battle with two divisions of the Japanese army for ten days, killing countless enemies, so that the Japanese could not advance an inch. The two elite divisions of the Japanese invaders were blocked by a squadron and a corps under a small county town, and the two division commanders, who claimed to be famous generals, were annoyed and angry, and commanded the troops to launch more fierce attacks than one another. Airplanes, artillery, tanks, poison gas, all the tricks that the devils could come up with were used, and our 59th Army held the belief that it would not retreat, and the tens of thousands of thieves and soldiers of the devils were stubbornly blocked under the city of Huangchuan.
The theater originally scheduled General Zhang to guard Huangchuan for seven days, but the 59th Army carried it in Huangchuan for ten days. By the end of the 10th day, the 59th Army had suffered too many casualties, and General Zhang led the remaining officers and men of the whole army to evacuate Huangchuan City. Under the siege of the two elite divisions of the Japanese army, trapped in the lonely city, fighting bloody battles for ten days, and finally being able to retreat with the whole division, General Zhang Zizhong once again folded the arrogance of the devil and slapped a resounding slap in the face of the invincible invader.
After the Japanese army occupied Huangchuan, it continued to move westward, approaching Luoshan and Xinyang.
The seven elite divisions of Hu Zongnan's 17th Army Corps were in full array, including the best-equipped and best-trained First Army and the only tank unit commanded by Qiu Qingquan, as well as Peng Mengxi's artillery brigade. In terms of troops and equipment, it is much stronger than Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army.
In the face of the two attacking divisions of the Japanese army, Hu Zongnan was still unsure of his heart, and recruited troops everywhere to further strengthen his strength. Jigong Mountain is the defense area of Chief Hu. Although Chief Hu has no time to deal with those bandits and bandits, and there are no big activities in the mountains, it is difficult to hide from the shrewd Chief Hu. What's more, Gao Quan's independent brigade is not a guerrilla force that does not enter the stream, but it is a regular army that is being organized, and such a unit is recuperating in Chief Hu's defense area, and the Fifth War Zone has already reported it.
Gao Quan was careless, he had been here for so long, and he didn't go to Xinyang City in time to meet Chief Hu, and of course Chief Hu wouldn't take the initiative to deal with him. Now that the war is approaching, Chief Hu, who feels that his strength is not strong enough, is trying to find a way to recruit people everywhere, and it is of course reasonable for Gao Quan, an independent brigade, to fall into the eyes of Chief Hu.
Chief Hu sent an order to the Independent Brigade Headquarters, and Gao Quan was immediately dumbfounded. Who is Hu Zongnan? The protégé of the Son of Heaven, the leader of Whampoa, and the beloved general, even now, he is also the commander of the 17th Army Corps, ** Lieutenant General. Although the lieutenant general and the major general are only one level apart, the authority and strength in the hands of the two are far apart, and Gao Quan really doesn't dare not listen to this commander Hu's orders! Offending Chief Hu is almost the same concept as offending the commission, which means that his career in ** will end here. The devil is still in China, and the Japanese slaves have not been destroyed, how can Gao Quan be willing to withdraw from the battlefield and the army?
Xinyang City is a must-go, and Chief Hu must also be seen. As for how to see the law, there is still a discussion.
The original troops of the independent brigade are now more than 1,000, and there are hundreds of bandit cottages on Jigong Mountain. By now, even the new and the old, the personnel of the entire independent brigade are in their early 5,000s! As for the army atmosphere or something, then I don't dare to hope for it, in short, his army can still be called an army now, and it has not completely degenerated into a bandit coalition army! The military flag of the unit is still there, the commander is still there, and the establishment is still there, and every day it still goes out to drill and train as usual. Because it is in a mountainous area, there are few pedestrians, and there have been no cases of roadblocks and robberies, which is basically normal.
Gao Quan gathered the troops on the playground, looking at these guys in front of him who didn't stand or sit, he couldn't help but feel a little in his heart, these people used to be happy bandits, probably from today on, they will follow themselves to the battlefield to kill devils, and I don't know if I have fulfilled them or harmed them by doing so. Those who have become generals have to kill and decide, and they can no longer have so much sentimentality. Gao Quan made up his mind and selected 1,200 soldiers from the 5,000 people.
These 1,200 people are the group of people who have been in the army for the shortest time, have the heaviest gangsterism, and are equipped with the most obsolete military uniforms and weapons. There is no way, the independent brigade hid in the mountains, and there were not so many new military uniforms issued to them, even the guns in the hands of these people, most of them were made up in various cottages. Basically, it looks like a regiment, and if you have to say it, it can be regarded as a brigade, right?
"Brothers, today, I am going to take you into Xinyang City. We are a regular national army, and we are no longer bandits! I hope that the brothers will keep this in mind. Once we enter the city, we have to behave like a regular army, worthy of the uniforms we wear! Of course, your uniforms are a bit old now. However, General Hu Zongnan is stationed in Xinyang City, and we are going to join General Hu's troops, and General Hu will solve the problem of military uniforms and weapons for us! I only ask you to do one thing, to act like a regular army! Once in the city, no looting! No theft! Don't molest women! Abide by military regulations and military discipline! ”
