Chapter 39: The Virtuous Mechanic
"Captain Hu, if you can't beat it, it's nothing to be ashamed of." Gui Yongqing saw through Hu Fei's trick at a glance, not only did he see through it, but he also broke it!
"Your cavalry brigade only has a few hundred people, and it is normal that you can't beat a Japanese brigade of thousands of people. I'm not an unreasonable feudal warlord, so I won't blame you for this. However, a brigade of Japanese soldiers dares to be so arrogant and domineering, and it is too ignorant of the sky! If you don't give them some color, you won't be able to show the ability of my Chinese soldiers! ”
Speaking of this, Gui Yongqing's face was already flushed. He is not afraid of fighting devils, he is also willing to make contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, otherwise Gui Yongqing would not have led the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps to fight bloody battles against the Japanese invaders on the battlefields of Songhu and Nanjing.
Commander Gui just hasn't found a suitable stage for him to play, although he has fought both death battles and evil battles, but his own reputation is always a big difference from the reputation of his unit. Today seems like a good opportunity.
Gui Yongqing ordered the 27th Army to launch an attack on the trailing Japanese army! First, the artillery regiment of the 27th Army smashed the trailing devil brigade with a cannon shot, and then Gui Yongqing ordered the 24th Division, the 45th Division, and the Reserve 8th Division under his command to surround it, and he was ready to completely annihilate this devil brigade!
General Gui is ambitious to kill the devil and make meritorious contributions, how can the devil stare at him and let him get his wish? When the artillery fire of the 27 th Army was fiercely bombarded the Japanese invaders, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had already found out the truth and falsehood of the 27 th Army. This is an elite army on the Chongqing side, a type A army with three main divisions and a heavy artillery regiment, how can such a unit be dealt with by a mere infantry brigade?
The Air Force knew the strength of the Chinese army, and the spy agents on the ground investigated the number of the army and the name and history of the commander.
The captain of the devil team took a look, oh, it turns out that I was chasing after Gui Yongqing? Gui Yongqing's opponent is not me, his opponent should be His Excellency Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara! The captain of the devil brigade, who knew that Gui Yongqing was powerful, immediately led the Japanese troops to break through!
To be honest, the Japanese army in 1938 was indeed more combat-effective than the Chinese army in the same period. Although the 27th Army was a unit reorganized from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps as the main body, and although the soldiers and firepower of this army were among the best among the Chinese troops at that time, when nearly 1,000 Japanese troops broke through with their lives, the officers and men of the 27th Army were still unable to completely encircle and annihilate them.
After a hard battle, the infantry brigade of the 14th Devil's Division finally broke through as a formation. Regarding the breakthrough of the Japanese brigade, Gui Yongqing did not care too much. General Gui is a general, and what he plans in his mind is a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of people at every turn, and an infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people like this really doesn't take too much into the eyes of Commander Gui. Run, run, what's that?
Gui Yongqing took a note and gave it to Hu Fei and asked him to hand it over to Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division. There is only one sentence on this note, that is, to order Long Muhan to stick to Lanfeng, and not to take a step back without his Gui Yongqing's order!
In terms of establishment, the 88th Division was not originally a subordinate unit of the 27th Army. It was because Gui Yongqing was a celebrity and a descendant in front of Principal Jiang that the Military Commission temporarily handed over the 88th Division, one of the only four German armament divisions in China at that time, to Gui Yongqing in this Lanfeng Battle.
This letter is Gui Yongqing's military order to the 88th Division to hold the city of Lanfeng! Gui Yongqing explained clearly: After Hu Fei went to Lanfeng to hand over this order to Long Muhan, he stayed directly in Lanfeng and did not have to come back. From now on, Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade will become subordinates of the 88th Division, and the independent cavalry brigade will follow the 88th Division, a German division, to defend Lanfeng City!
The 88th Division was adapted from the 2nd Division of the Guard, the original chairman of the National People's Committee, and the first division commander was the famous Yu Jishi. Such a unit is naturally the elite of the elite and the descendant of the lineage! Hu Fei was able to go to the 88th Division to gild, needless to say, it played an important role in the improvement of his identity!
From this point of view, Gui Yongqing actually takes good care of Hu Fei. Don't you want to join the regular? I'll give you the most regular army in the country for you to go! As long as you can mix in the 88th Division for two years, even if you are a small company commander, who dares to say that you are a bandit? Who would dare to say that you are not the Central Army?
After listening carefully to Gui Yongqing's explanation of the order, Hu Fei was also a little moved in his heart. After raising his hand and respectfully saluting, he jumped on the war horse and led the troops, he was gone!
If you go to Lanfeng, the independent cavalry brigade will be completely rid of the bandit origin! From now on, he Hu Fei will also be a well-known national regular officer! It is impossible to say that Hu Fei is not a little excited in his heart. I hope that after arriving at Lanfeng, it will be a qiē shun lì.
With a beautiful vision for the future, Hu Fei took his cavalry brigade to Lanfeng City.
When Hu Fei arrived outside Lanfeng City, it was already evening. Since Lan Fengcheng was defended by the 88th Division of the Central Army, its vigilance was naturally very high, and after Hu Fei showed all the documents he carried, he was about to thin his mouth, which temporarily dispelled the suspicion of the defenders and let him enter the city.
After entering the city, it took a lot of effort to inquire about the whereabouts of Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division, but as a result, Hu Fei was on the way to the division headquarters, and the German armor division in the city began to be transferred on a large scale!
Cars drove up and down, and groups of soldiers in steel helmets and leather boots ran quickly through the streets. The sound of passwords, car motors, and the clatter of leather boots on the ground echoed through the streets of the city, adding a lot of tension to the air. What's going on? Are you going to fight the devil?
Thinking that he was about to join the German Armament Division and become a member of the main force of the central government and fight the Japanese invaders, Hu Fei couldn't help but feel a little more excited. I don't know if the 88th Division will let you use the ghost head knife, if you don't let it be used, where will you put the ghost head knife?
With a messy thought in his heart, Hu Fei asked Gou Tianxiao to find a guide from the 88th Division. Everyone has never been to Lanfeng City before, and no one will lead the way, when will you find the division headquarters and see Long Muhan?
It's easy to find someone to lead the way, the city is full of officers and soldiers of the 88th Division, and any one of them can be their guide. The effort was not great, so Gou Tianxiao came over with a second lieutenant officer, this person was from the 88th Division, and he knew the location of the division headquarters.
Although I don't know how Gou Tianxiao persuaded this second lieutenant to agree to lead the way, Hu Fei is still very satisfied with the fact that someone can save a lot of trouble by leading the way. Ten minutes later, Hu Fei and his party came to the outside of a large courtyard. There is a sign hanging at the door of the courtyard, which reads: Lanfeng County Tax Office.
