Chapter 1 2. Visits
The Second Battle of Changsha finally came to an end, and the people of the whole country were once again invigorated. Although Changsha was once attacked by the Japanese invaders, in the end, he returned to the arms of the people under the bloody struggle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our army.
The 500th Army cooperated with the 74th Army on the banks of the Laodao River and completely annihilated the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army. When the stained flag was sent to the Military Commission, the shock caused at the top level can be imagined, and it is said that the committee members were intent on giving this student who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats another level. Gao Quan is now a military commander, and if he is promoted to another level, he will be promoted to the leader of the group army, and with his current age, it is obviously too young to be promoted to such a high position.
At this time, another rumor spread among the high-level people, that is, after Gao Quan captured this military flag, he used it as a shoe-shine cloth in public, and carefully wiped the pair of combat boots on General Gao's feet.
Although Gao Quan did this at that time, and because of this, he greatly boosted the morale of his own troops and fiercely promoted the self-esteem of the Chinese, but in the end, this still seemed a bit of a youthful and frivolous taste.
Originally, this was purely a whimsical act of the front-line generals, and it was not a big deal. But at that time, many of the generals of the Military Commission liked to visit this military flag, or take a picture in front of this flag, and take a picture or something. As soon as this statement came out, of course, no one would ever take pictures again, and those who had taken pictures also felt awkward in their hearts, and they actually took pictures with a shoe-shining rag? It's no wonder that this heart can be comfortable! It's obviously a good thing, but in the end, it makes me feel awkward, and I complain about this Gao Quan, who doesn't know the severity!
At the beginning of the handing over of such an important military flag to the Military Commission, the people who took pictures with the mud-stained flag must have been powerful and well-connected people. These people have a lot of influence in the top echelons of the government, and some of them can even speak in front of the commission. When these people knew that the flag of the Japanese army that they took into their hands and regarded as a treasure, Gao Quan actually took it to polish his shoes, and the stains on it were actually mud on the soles of Gao Junchang's shoes, and they suddenly had a feeling of being played by Gao Quan.
We praise you as a hero, so we value the loot you capture so much, we can't imagine that you, as a military commander, are so self-respecting! Isn't that insulting? Is it tolerable or unbearable! The members who felt that they had lost face began to look at the opportunity and went to the front of the commission to count the high. Anyway, he has a lot of pigtails, and with the name of the bandit general in the past, it is enough for others to say.
No matter how wise and powerful the chairman is, he can't stand up to a few people who are usually quite serious, and take turns to break their fingers to count him down. After listening to it a lot, the committee is not as interested in Gao Quan as it was a few days ago. Of course, the punishment is not enough, and the reward and promotion are no drama for the time being.
All the armies in the Ninth Theater had their stations, and after the battle was over, the commanders of each unit returned to their respective stations with their troops. The 500 troops were outsiders, and when they came, they would fight. Now that the battle is over, the commanders of the theater are all busy cleaning up the mess after the war, and no one can take care of this foreign force for the time being, so Gao Quan led his 500 troops to choose a piece of land near Chunhua Mountain and set up a barracks. It's a good idea to camp wherever you fight.
On this day, the military headquarters of the 500th Army welcomed two heavyweight guests, Wang Yaowu, commander of the 74th Army, and Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 58th Division.
Hearing that these two great gods had arrived, Gao Quan hurriedly called Deputy Commander Xie to go out of the camp to greet him, and as for Secretary Wu, he went to inspect the troops below. The secretary has participated in a battle, and it is precisely when he has a deep relationship with the troops, so he goes down to get in touch with the soldiers, and by the way, recruits more people to join the party, and this is where the secretary can make achievements.
"General Zuomin, General Zhonglin." At the gate of the camp, in front of a group of soldiers wearing brand-new American military uniforms, stood two generals with large-brimmed hats, and Gao Quan quickly greeted them. When he arrived, he first saluted with a dignified military salute, and then smiled and stretched out his two hands to Wang Yaowu, who was a little shorter and a little ordinary-looking.
"I heard that the two generals are coming, and the 20,000 officers and soldiers of my 500 army are all bright! All the officers and men of the 500 Army welcomed the two. ”
Wang Yaowu said that his head was a little shorter, but in fact, compared to Zhang Lingfu next to him, he looked at these two of them, and they all had to be seen from the perspective of looking up.
"General Ishinoki is so polite! Hehe, Zhong Lin and I made a special trip to thank you today! In the first battle of Chunhua Mountain, fortunately, the general of the 74th Army was able to breathe a breather thanks to the help of the general. Seeing that Gao Quan's etiquette was thorough, Wang and Zhang would not lack etiquette, and after the two shook hands with Gao Quan, they took a step back and raised their hands to salute. Commander Gao solemnly returned the salute, and the three generals paid the highest respect to each other in the manner of soldiers.
To say that this Lingfu looks really good, he is more than 1.85 meters tall, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a tall nose bridge, and then wears a dark green American military uniform that is more handsome than the blue military uniforms worn by most of the current armies, which is more handsome and upright. Gao Quan stood in front of Zhang Lingfu and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Thank you Commander Gao for your help in Chunhua Mountain. It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's the hardest to send charcoal in the snow. The help of Commander Zhizhi was at the most difficult time for our 58th Division. Today, Zhang Lingfu can stand here alive, or it is all thanks to Commander Gao! "Zhang Lingfu, although he looks proud from his appearance, is quite reliable in speaking and doing things.
"Brother Zuomin, Brother Zhong Lin, you don't have to be polite anymore. Let me introduce you to the two, this is the deputy commander of the 500 Army, General Xie Zhongming. After a few polite greetings, Gao Quan introduced Deputy Commander Xie to the two of them.
Not to mention, Xie Zhongming actually knew Wang Yaowu, and when Gao Quan introduced him, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "After a few years of companionship, Commander Wang's demeanor is better than in the past." ”
Wang Yaowu was also very impressed by Xie Zhongming, and the two held hands and exchanged a few words of affectionate greetings.
"Now that you're in my land, the two brothers will come in! I invite you two to taste my military banquet. The four generals stood at the gate of the camp and kept talking, the impact was not good, on the one hand, Gao Quan also felt that this was a bit of a suspicion of neglecting the guests, so he stretched out his hand to invite the two generals to the barracks.
Wang Yaowu Chinese New Year's Eve is seven years old today, and Zhang Lingfu is thirty-eight years old, and the two are in the prime of life and full of energy. Although Gao Quan has a special appearance, ordinary people can't tell his age at all, but he himself knows how old he is! From birth to the present, the two lives are combined, and the total number of people is only thirty-five springs and autumns, compared to these two, they are still a few years younger.
The military banquet is just a pretext. What was there to eat in the army during the Anti-Japanese War? There is neither the luxury of the military banquet mentioned in Du Fu's poem "Light Fat", nor the scene of Cao Cao's banquet in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but just two more meat dishes.
