It is said that all the people present here are at the level of generals, except for the city defense commander who is a colonel, the others are all major generals and lieutenant generals, and Commander Zhang is the host, and even this table of wine and meat is Zhang Luo, of course, he is qualified to sit here and eat together. It is somewhat incongruous for a colonel like Gao Quan to appear at such a table full of generals, but who made him represent the third force in the Linyi Campaign?

When arranging the seats, Gao Quan was next to Pang Bingxun, he wanted to sit between the two generals, and people had to let him sit too? When everyone finished toasting and began to eat, Pang Bingxun asked Gao Quan in a low voice: "Is there still contact between my brother and Liu Ziliang?" "Liu Ruming's name is Ziliang.

"Now the whole country is fighting the war, and the troops are frequently mobilized. When I was in Yicheng, I tried to get in touch with Master Liu, but I never received a reply, so I haven't been in contact! Now whenever I think of Master Liu's kindness and care for Gao Quan, Gao Quan is grateful! Commander Liu's heroic performance in the Great Wall War of Resistance and Zhangjiakou's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was the object of Gao Quan's lifelong study. Speaking of Liu Ruming, Gao Quan was also a little emotional, when he was with Liu Ruming, people really took good care of him.

"Liu Ziliang is now fighting with the little devils in Wazikou with his 68th Army, and I heard that the war is going well. This Liu Ziliang is a good hand in war, and when he was under Mr. Feng......"

"Ahem!" Zhang Zizhong interrupted Pang Bingxun's words with a cough that was not too loud, obviously Zhang Zizhong didn't want to hear Captain Pang talk about Mr. Feng. "Zhizhi, I heard that your hometown is Mukden?"

Zhang Zizhong actually pulled Gao Quan to open up the family routine, it is said that this is the scene that Gao Quan is most happy to see, which is the most conducive to bringing people closer to each other, but when he describes his "family background", he always has a very unhappy feeling, and anyone who has nothing to do has to say his own nonsense to others, it will not feel very good. Fortunately, Zhang Zizhong didn't mean to chase him to talk deeply, and he suddenly expressed affection to Gao Quan just now, but only interrupted Pang Bingxun to continue talking about Mr. Feng.

Pang Bingxun After a while, seeing that Zhang Zizhong had no intention of continuing to talk to Gao Quan, he continued: "Brother Zhizhi, your independent regiment is said to be under the direct jurisdiction of the war zone, but how can Commander Li of the war zone always pay attention to you?" According to the old brother, it is better to find a unit to rely on, and if there is an incident, it is better to have a response. If the elder brother is willing to give in, the elder brother's three legions are a place where he can stay, and the division commander and brigade commander here are at the discretion of the elder brother. If you go to the 40th Army to be a deputy division commander, or just take your people and directly count them as an independent brigade of the Third Army Corps, and the old brother will show this old face and give you the rank of major general to the Military Commission. Speaking of this, he glanced back at Zhang Zizhong, "Hehe, of course, all this is on the initiative of the elder brother, if the elder brother is willing to go to the 59th Army of Xinchen, the elder brother is also welcome." ”

"I can get the rank of major general from the Military Commission." Zhang Zizhong muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself, Pang Bingxun laughed dryly twice, and stopped talking.

Gao Quan knew that Pang Bingxun had suffered heavy losses after this battle, and this old guy was now eager to replenish manpower. It is said that the Third Legion like him is really a place where he can stay, and Lao Pang has not many troops in his hands, so his binding force on himself is relatively lightened. Following him is much stronger than following Sun Tongxuan, at least Captain Pang is not as strong as Commander-in-Chief Sun at the moment, and he doesn't seem to be as strong as Sun Tongxuan, so he really wants to find a force to take refuge, the old guy is really a good place here.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Gao Quan made up his mind and bowed his hand to Pang Bingxun, "Since the corps commander doesn't dislike it, then Gao Quan's independent regiment will go to the third legion to be an independent brigade." In the future, I hope that the commander of the corps will help. ”

Although Gao Quan's voice was not loud, who was present, they could all hear it clearly, and the banquet suddenly became cold, Zhang Zizhong's face changed, and then returned to normal, but Gao Quan's eyes were a little complicated.

Pang Bingxun and several of his division commanders and deputy division commanders suddenly showed joy on their faces, and this wine was only then tasted. The city defense commander of Linyi, Zhang Zizhong's family, hurriedly came over to toast and congratulate, this person is a funny person. Zhang Zizhong also symbolically saluted Gao Quan with a glass of wine, and it could be seen that if it weren't for the fact that his subordinates hadn't eaten well, Zhang Zizhong would have gotten up and left the table now.

This meal, except for Zhang Zizhong, who may be a little unhappy, the rest can be described as the joy of the guests and hosts.

On the same day, the independent regiment was stationed in Pang Bingxun's defense area, and Pang Bingxun really reported the report requesting Gao Quan's promotion to the Military Commission. After some urgent consultations, the bigwigs of the Military Commission finally saw that Pang Bingxun had indeed made great contributions in the battle of Linyi, and the Ministry had really suffered heavy losses, and the Military Commission had no time to replenish its troops, in order to prevent the Japanese Sakagaki Division from making a comeback, and at the same time, it was also to stabilize Pang Bingxun and prevent him from having any dissatisfaction, which led to negative emotions in the next battle, resulting in ineffective resistance. The Military Commission made an exception and called back on the same day, agreeing to Pang Bingxun's invitation to make a telegram and promoting Gao Quan to major general and brigade commander of the National Revolutionary Army. As for the major general's badge and military uniform, of course Pang Bingxun will not lack it here, as long as he agrees with the Military Commission, the rest of these lines, Lao Pang is naturally highly well-prepared.

Gao Quan's Independent Brigade and the 40th Army are not together, but they are not far apart, and now everyone is a family. With the belonging of their superiors, the soldiers of the independent brigade felt that they had become regular soldiers again, and under Gao Quan's strict requirements, the military discipline in the brigade had also improved.

Since everyone is their own family, Gao Quan must of course find out how many capable soldiers the Third Army still has now, so as to make some preparations for the next battle of Linyi. For Gao Quan, who has become his rightful subordinate, Pang Bingxun did not hide it from him, and let Gao Quan wander around in the defense area of the Third Army. How big can his Third Legion zone be? Gao is a scout, and it is too easy to figure out the details of a troop. It only took him half a day to find out what he wanted to know. Although he had expected it a long time ago, when he really knew the reality of the Third Legion, Gao Quan was still surprised.

The third legion is quite big, listen, a legion, people who don't know think that there are not many people, after careful inquiry, but it turns out that the entire third army is only under the jurisdiction of a forty army, and the forty army has only one division, these battles have been fought, and now all the active people of the third army add up to only a little more than 4,000, and this is to add Gao Quan's 17,800 independent brigade, now Gao Quan and his independent brigade are the largest brigade-level units in the third army, There was not a single division in the corps that was stronger than his men. No wonder Pang Bingxun didn't wait for Zhang Zizhong to leave, so he was in a hurry to find Gao Quan to buy him with Major General and Independent Brigade. Gao Quan felt that if he wanted the name of an independent division at that time, it was estimated that Lao Pang would also fight for him.
