Chapter 46: The Eto Detachment
In the end, Chief Li decided to release him for two reasons. The first is that the Commander does not want people to misunderstand that he is ignoring the overall situation of the War of Resistance in order to protect his strength. This will damage the reputation of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, Sir; The second is that this Gao Quan stays on Tongbai Mountain, and he is restless! Not only did they attack everywhere to find trouble with the Japanese army, but the 500 Army also always had unpleasant trouble with Commander Tang's troops, which seriously affected the good and harmonious situation between the various units in the theater! Such a person, it doesn't matter if he is transferred, out of sight and out of mind!
The commander's hand was raised slightly, and the five hundred troops had to stay in a different place. Commander-in-Chief Sun of the Second Group Army has long looked at Tongbai Mountain, and it has not been a day or two since he wanted to garrison troops in the mountains, just because the 500 Army has always been the hegemon, and Commander Sun has not been embarrassed to come here.
As soon as the transfer order of the Military Commission came down, Commander Chi personally sent Gao Quan with the transfer order from the war zone, and he said: The brotherhood is deep, and he can't bear to be separated, so he came to see off his brother. But if you see you off, you will see you off, why did you bring an independent brigade here? Isn't that just a land grab!
has already decided to leave, and Gao Quan is reluctant to pursue this old brother's faux pas. After the two drank the send-off wine, Commander Gao stepped onto his special truck, waved his hand from the window, and was about to leave Tongbai Mountain, where he had lived for three years.
Officials in Tongbai County also organized the people of the county to gather on both sides of the street, beat gongs and drums, and put fine wine and cooked meat to see them off. An old man with white hair and white beard in the county personally held the rice wine brewed at home and handed it to Commander Gao, asking General Gao to drink a bowl of hometown wine before leaving, and he would not forget the mountains and rivers of this township in the future.
Gao Quan raised the wine bowl high above his head, "Thank you for your kindness!" Gao Quan and all the officers and men of the 500th Army will never forget the villagers and elders of Tongbai Mountain! I hereby state that when we get to the battlefield, we must kill more devils and show our face for the Tongbai people! "Finish the wine bowl and drink it all!
After drinking, he hiccuped, handed the wine bowl back to the old man with a flushed face, and looked around, hey, someone served steamed bacon, and someone held a pot of boiled eggs, he just didn't come forward! General Gao can't run out more than ten meters to eat a piece of meat, right? It's a whole thing, drink a bowl of wine, and don't even have a snack to eat!
With a hot heart, he waved at the crowd, turned back and sat back in the car, closed the door and shook his head. The wine was drunk a little violently, and the old man didn't know that it was unsafe to drive after drinking, so he even pouted to let Gao Junchang drink the rack, and he was not afraid of a traffic accident! Gao Quan shook his head and rubbed his face vigorously, which made him feel better.
A white hand next to him handed over a green military kettle, which was Huiqin with a concerned face. Or the nurse sister knows how to take care of people! Gao Quan took it and poured two sips, one mouthful of fragrant and refreshing, rock sugar tea. Reporter Tang wanted to shoot the spectacular scene of the troops' pull-out, so he left it in the back compartment to take pictures, and when there was space in the cab, Huiqin took the initiative to get in and squeeze together with Hong Yingying. Since having an intimate relationship with Gao Quan, this poor woman with a closed heart has finally gradually come out of the shadows.
All the motor vehicles that could be driven were all incorporated into the mobile detachment, and together with the 200 bicycles that Xie Zhongmingtuo had brought from Chongqing, this mobile detachment finally had a preliminary scale. The remaining scrapped tanks, chariots, and motorcycles that were originally left for practice on the mountain were all resold by Zheng Guotai at a low price before leaving. Regardless of whether it was sold to Tang Enbo or Sun Lianzhong, in short, the 500 troops cleared their warehouses and disposed of the inventory before leaving.
The division-level establishment under the 500 Army is still only one 500 division, but its five brigades plus a few regiments directly under it now have a scale of nearly 30,000 people, which is on par with a type A army. Qian Sixi's life and death are still unknown, and Gao Quan promoted Huang Sanpao to deputy brigade commander to maintain the normal operation of the 500 brigade.
With his outstanding driving skills, Gao Quan finally got off Tongbai Mountain safely, and the bowl of send-off wine of Tongbai celebrities did not kill Gao Junzao.
This time I went to the Ninth War Zone to participate in the war, and it was the same as the first Battle of Changsha, because the devil had already fought the New Wall River. Last time, Gao Quannan easily attacked Yue Yang, but this time he didn't have that chance. The 14th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Devil has moved to the outskirts of Yueyang, and now Yueyang has become the temporary residence of the 11th Army Headquarters of the new 11th Army Commander Anan Weigi, and the troops directly under the headquarters alone are close to one brigade.
If the 500 Army had directly started fighting in Yueyang, he wouldn't have planned to report to the Ninth War Zone. Although Gao Quan also wanted to dig out Anan Weiji's nest, but, considering his actual situation, he still forced down this tempting idea.
Linxiangcheng, there are Gao Quan's comrades-in-arms, Qian Sixi, the brigade commander of the 500th Army, since he has the opportunity to fight in northern Hunan this time, he does not plan to let go of Linxiangcheng!
The 11th Brigade originally stationed in Linxiang City has already gone south to fight with the main force of the division, and now the city should be empty, and this is the best time to take the city and rescue Qian Sixi!
When there were still eighty miles from Linxiang, Gao Quan ordered the troops to stop.
"We must fight Linxiang City, in order to prevent the devils from coming to the aid of Yueyang and Xianning, we must have troops to block the attack. I order: The 20th Brigade will go to the junction and lay out blocking positions; The Independent Brigade went to Wulipai to set up blocking positions; Supplement the brigade vigilance and loyalty, peach forest; The 500 Brigade is attacking Linxiang, and the Special Operations Brigade assists, so we must rescue Brigade Commander Qian! ”
Several brigade commanders of the unit were temporarily summoned together, and Gao Quan held a pre-war mobilization meeting for everyone. There was nothing to discuss at all, and against the military map of one to two million, the order was directly arranged.
"Report." Before the military meeting was over, a correspondent sent the latest information.
"The Jiangteng detachment of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army is assembling ten miles away from Linxiang!" Looking at such a piece of information, Gao Quan didn't know what to say. This side is preparing to fight, why did he come to Linxiang from the 14th Brigade that was supposed to be in Yueyang?
"Send a report and ask Shi Lei, what level is this Jiangteng detachment?" The devil's detachment has brigade and regiment level, as well as company and even brigade level, and Gao Quan must understand this point.
The correspondent had just left, and another correspondent came in with a draft of the telegram. Gao Quan took it and saw that it was still sent by the reconnaissance group, and it had already described in detail the details of this Jiangteng detachment.
The Eto detachment was formed with the 62nd Infantry Brigade of the 14th Independent Brigade of the Devils as the backbone, and it was a little more powerful than an infantry brigade in terms of firepower, and the detachment was equipped with a heavy machine gun squadron and a mortar squad. The leader of the detachment was the captain of the 62nd Brigade, Eto Daihachi.
It's just a reinforcement brigade, fight! Gao Quan made up his mind in an instant. "The offensive and blocking units were carried out according to the original plan. The special brigade is responsible for carrying out a diversion attack on the Jiangteng brigade, and it must not be allowed to reinforce Linxiang with a single soldier! ”
