In 1937, after the 77 Incident, the Japanese army negotiated with the 29th Army, saying only that they wanted to control the conflict in a local part and did not want to expand the situation, causing some high-ranking generals of the 29th Army to relax their vigilance, but the devils were secretly mobilizing troops. By the time the Japanese had enough strength, the 29th Army had lost its best opportunity to attack.

The officers and men of the 29th Army bravely resisted the enemy and won successive victories in Langfang, Fengtai and other places. However, due to the backward weapons, insufficient troops, and the loss of fighter planes, these places were finally taken by the Japanese army. Fierce battles for days. The 29th Army suffered heavy casualties, and on 28 July, Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, died heroically. Seeing that the defeat was irretrievable, the army commander Song Zheyuan immediately decided to retreat with the whole army. Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division withdrew from Lugou Bridge and Wanping City on the 29th, and then Pingjin was lost one after another.

The 143rd Division was stationed in Zhangjiakou. The Japanese army was divided into several routes, the Kwantung Army Chahar sent a corps to attack Zhangjiakou, and the Fifth Division and the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade attacked Nankou. At the same time as the famous Battle of Nankou broke out, the Battle of Zhangjiakou also started vigorously.

Since Gao Quan's first battalion was stationed in Xuanhua, Gao Quan has been building fortifications in his defense area. Li Jintian's brigade headquarters was stationed in the city, and Gao Quan was stationed ten miles away from the city. This is the outskirts of the city, Xuanhua County is not a big city, the suburbs of the city are vast and sparsely populated, which is suitable for platoon operations. Gao Quan's men now have four or five hundred guns, with the rank of major, and he is barely a middle-level officer.

Unlike before, in addition to strict training requirements for soldiers, Gao Quan also required troops to build field fortifications around the station. The bunkers and bunkers were not falling, and not only that, but he also set up several minefields on the periphery of the position. As for the mines, with the background of his battalion, it is definitely not enough to set up minefields, and it is okay to lay a few light and dark mines, and if you want to arrange minefields on a large scale, you should still arrange several at once, not to mention him, even the munitions depot in the brigade is not so much.

At this time, the Military Commission had already sensed that the Japanese army was about to launch an attack on the Pingsui Railway, and urgently transferred the 13th Army, the main force of the Central Army, to Nankou to deploy defenses. The commander of the Thirteenth Army was the general Tang Enbo, who was famous for not saving him when he saw death. Of course, the Battle of Xuzhou has not yet begun, the Battle of Tengxian has not yet begun, and the commander of the 122nd Division, Wang Mingzhang, has not been killed. Others don't know, but Gao Quan can't be clearer about this Captain Tang's temperament. This person has been a horse all his life, and he is the best official. Let's say that he is selfish, he is iron-clad loyal to his commissioner, say that he is afraid of death and will not resist the Japanese, he has performed well in many general battles, and his troops have also inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army many times, and is regarded by the Japanese army as one of the few strong enemies of our army. However, if you want Gao Quan to have any good impression of him, you can't.

If you don't like it, you don't like it, the enemy is at present, and personal likes and dislikes must be put after the collective interests and national interests, Gao Quan understands this very well. What's more, now that Gao Quanzheng has something to ask this commissioner, he will not put the awkwardness in his heart on his face. The 13th Army is the elite of the Central Army, and the descendants of the commission, the equipment is naturally stronger than their 29th Army, hundreds of mines, I believe that any division and brigade of the 13th Army will have it, and Gao Quan's fight is the idea of this Commander Tang.

For a public relations matter like this, Gao Quan naturally has to go into battle in person. This is not to say that he really has to do everything himself, and he has to do everything himself, nor does it mean that he does not have public relations talents under him. Qian Sixi, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, has now become the commander of the reconnaissance company, and the commander of the reconnaissance unit who has been working for so long, coupled with Gao Quan's words and deeds, the original big head soldier has long become an all-rounder. Things are used by Gao Quan's own troops, and the key is that his position is too low. The battalion commander of the major seems to be not small, and in front of Commander Tang, it is a small soldier. Even the division commanders and brigade commanders under him would not look at Gao Quan with their eyes. They are the regular army and the central army, but what about him, the local miscellaneous army! Or a petty officer in a ragtag army, why should people bother him? If you send your subordinates again, you won't need to talk about it, and it will definitely not work out.

With more than a dozen soldiers from the guard company, together with Qian Sixi, the commander of the reconnaissance company, they rushed to Juyong Pass. The Eighty-ninth Division of the Thirteenth Army was stationed there. Gao Quan didn't want to see this Tang Junzuo, in fact, even if he wanted to see him, people might not necessarily want to see him, and the difference in rank between the major battalion commander and the lieutenant general was not a little bit.

There is a train parked in the cave of Juyongguan, and the division headquarters of the 89th Division is located on this train. Now that it has reached a state of imminent war, the Japanese have already assembled heavy troops in Changping, and the battle will start at any time. At this time, a battalion commander of the 29th Army in Zhangjiakou actually ran over to ask for arms support, isn't it a joke! Although the division commander Wang Zhonglian was unwilling to deal with Gao Quan, the current 29th Army was already famous, and if he refused directly, would it cause any misunderstanding? After a little consideration, Division Commander Wang asked his quartermaster to come forward and talk to the inexplicable commander of the 29th Army Battalion. In the final analysis, Wang Zhonglian is not Tang Enbo, for friendly troops, especially the troops who have won battles in front of the devil, Division Commander Wang is still very willing to take care of some of them, as long as the other party's requirements are not too excessive, support a little if they can.

The conversation with the quartermaster was very smooth, and the division was all expressions, and the quartermaster naturally knew what to expect. Gao Quan is very good at being a person, and as soon as he meets, he will salute his superiors with a straight and respectful attitude, which makes Director Li's first impression of him very good. Gao Quan went up and quietly stuffed a high-end lighter and two packs of Oriental cigarettes into the pocket of Director Li's military uniform, and bribed him a little. You know, at that time, Toyo cigarettes were high-end goods, and ordinary people couldn't buy them if they wanted to, plus the gold-plated lighter, although the thing was small, the value was not low.

Next, when Gao Quan proposed that he wanted the director to support 1,000 mines, although this number scared the lieutenant colonel, he did not refuse, but said that the number was too large and he would go back to ask the division for instructions. This is the benefit of bribery, otherwise, people will simply refuse. The two families have no entanglement of interests, and they don't owe you, so there is about to be a war, why do people give you so many arms?

Gao Quan waited quietly, and the lieutenant colonel went back to the train to report to his division. The work is not big, the lieutenant colonel is back, the division seat has words, and the things can be given to a part, after all, the number of Gao Quan is too large, and there is not so much stock in the division. Four hundred and fifty mines, but not support, they have to be bought with money.

Gao Quanyuan didn't expect people to give him so many mines in vain, and four hundred and fifty were already a lot. If you buy it with money, it's not impossible, but the price offered by this director is beyond Gao Quan's ability to bear, and if he pays it off on the spot, Gao Quan will immediately return to the ranks of the proletariat.

Gao Quan's eyes turned around the people who accompanied him, and he went over to take off something from Liu Qi's body, which was a command knife of the devil Shaozuo. It's worth a lot more than a cigarette lighter. Sure enough, as soon as the devil's command knife arrived in the lieutenant colonel's hand, the lieutenant colonel, who was in his thirties, immediately grabbed it and didn't let go.
