Chapter 69: Shangguan Yunxiang
Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing glanced at each other, and followed the lieutenant who led the way to turn to the fork in the road. It feels like walking a maze on a mountain road here, and turning left and right makes it impossible to identify the direction at all. There are trees everywhere, vines everywhere, all over the mountains, the eyes are like a green ocean, occasionally there are mountain flowers dotted among them, around the green to add a few different colors, there are unknown birds singing in the mountains and forests, there are hares in the grass and mountains and flowers flashing away, this is definitely a tourist area with excellent scenery.
The woods seemed to have no end, and Gao Quan's party was led by the guide, weaving through the endless green corridor.
Walking through such a beautiful environment, it is easy to lose track of time and not know how far you have walked, and the guide suddenly says, "It's here." Gao Quan followed the guide's finger and looked, and the mountain road under his feet turned another corner here, and he turned directly into a huge cave!
The entrance of the cave was built neatly by artificial barriers, there were more than ten heavily armed soldiers guarding at the door, and a sign was hung on the stone wall on one side of the cave, on which were written the words "Headquarters of the 32nd Group Army", and it turned out that Shangguan Yunxiang had moved the headquarters to the cave. This is a secret, so you don't have to worry about the bombing of Japanese planes.
The inside of the cave was brightly lit by electric lights with a large wattage, and as soon as I entered the door, an officer greeted me.
"This is Commander Gao and Secretary Wu of the 500th Army." After introducing the names of the visitors to the officers who greeted them, he turned to take his leave.
"Commander Gao and Secretary Wu, please follow me. The brothers followed Company Commander Yang to rest. The major officer led Gao Quan and them inside, and the guard platoon was led by the company commander surnamed Yang to rest in another place.
After walking a few dozen meters inside, a group of officers stood there waiting to greet them. Gao Quan quickly glanced at the crowd. In the middle of the dozen or so people standing, there is a tall and thin middle-aged officer, looking at the collar is two stars, lieutenant general, and the rest of the people around him have no higher rank than him, a group of people are obviously headed by this duke, it is estimated that this person is the commander of the 32nd Group Army, the famous Shangguan Yunxiang!
"Gao Quan, commander of the 500th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and Wu Guangxing, secretary of the party department, have come to report!" Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing stood side by side, and both raised their hands at the same time to salute.
More than a dozen people on the opposite side flashed to both sides, leaving the middle-aged general in the middle alone. The salute of the commander and secretary general of the 500th Army is not something that anyone can afford! This is not a friendly salute when meeting normally, this is the etiquette when meeting Shangguan, and idlers and others must be avoided!
"Shangguan Yunxiang, commander of the 32nd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army." Shangguan Yunxiang solemnly returned the salute, and the opposite side was also a lieutenant general, and the two were equal in terms of the military rank they were wearing! The family is courteous and thoughtful, and the commander must of course show the demeanor of a commander. "Admonishment, Guangxing, with the addition of two people, my 32nd Group Army is like a tiger with wings! From now on, we will be comrades in the same trench. Please also ask the two of you to help us wholeheartedly, and we will jointly complete the theater order and fight the Japanese army in the Quzhou area! "Shangguan Yunxiang is a native of Shanghe, Shandong, and he speaks Shandong dialect.
"Commander, please relax, our 500 Army will never compromise with the Japanese army on the battlefield! In the Battle of Quzhou, our army will definitely go all out, fight desperately and bloodily, and immediately annihilate the Japanese invaders under the city of Quzhou! Gao Quan said it so loudly that it echoed in the cave.
"Oh, good, good! I'm relieved that I'm able to have this determination. Shangguan Yun laughed twice, and came over to shake hands with Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing one by one. Compared with Gao Quan, the commander's civil war achievements seemed to be a little out of his hands, and for a while, there was a moment of coldness on the scene.
As soon as they found that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, several adjutants immediately came over, "Come on, Commander Gao and Secretary Wu, please take a seat, please take a seat." Serve tea! The orderly brought up the steaming fragrant tea, which dissolved the embarrassment of the moment just now.
"Ah, are the old people in Guangxing's family okay?" Finding that talking to Gao Quan was a little wrong, Shangguan Yun turned his face and found Wu Guangxing again.
"Guangxing's parents are accompanying the capital, everything is fine at home, thank you for the commander's concern." Secretary Wu answered in a decent manner, sat upright, and looked like a high-quality officer in the new era with a high degree of education.
"Okay, my parents?" There are two guests seated, after asking this and that, this is a matter of a smooth sentence, Shangguan Yunxiang also said that he was smooth, and subconsciously asked it, and immediately regretted it as soon as the words came out! Why is he okay to keep asking this? There is one more army under his command, and it is still an army that can fight! Of course, Shangguan Yunxiang wants to have a detailed understanding of Gao Quan's information, in the information he obtained, Gao Quan was born in the Northeast Army, and his whole family was killed by Japanese planes to the outskirts of Fengtian City, and Gao Quan's parents died!
Shangguan Yunxiang is a filial son, his father died early, and his mother raised a group of children alone, and Shangguan Yun, as the eldest son, was extremely filial to his mother. However, what is it that you take care of and honor your mother, and what is in the way of others? This Shangguan Commander chatted with others, and when he chatted, he liked to talk about each other's family members, parents, or something, as if he didn't say that, he didn't know how to talk about the topic. This time, I asked the people whose parents were dead about their health, isn't that revealing the shortcomings of others?
Sure enough, Gao Quan's serious face immediately dimmed, "Gao Quan has no parents anymore." Then Commander Gao's face became hideous: "The Japanese killed my parents and relatives, and Gao Quan has nothing to do with devils in this life!" Going to the battlefield is the only wish of all! ”
"Ugh." Gao Quan's glaring startled the well-informed Shangguan Yunxiang, this Gao Quan's change of face is quite scary! "Hehe, this time you can get what you want, the Japanese army is attacking my third theater of operations with five divisions and two brigades, and if you want to kill the enemy, some of them are devils who can be killed!"
"Junzuo, Commander Wang is still waiting for us to come over for a meeting." The atmosphere of the two sides chatting had just reached a harmonious stage, and another adjutant next to him suddenly came over to remind Shangguan Yunxiang that there was an important meeting to attend.
"Since the commander still has an important meeting to attend, Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing will leave." People still have something to do, and of course as a subordinate, they must be knowledgeable and interesting, and Gao Quan's eyes still have it.
"I can't leave this time," Shangguan Yunxiang stretched out his hand to stop him, "The meeting I'm going to attend is also related to your 500 army, and I'm going to join Guangxing too." ”
And the 500 Army also has something to do with it? It was either a pre-war mobilization meeting or a pre-war branch union, Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing glanced at each other in surprise, and the two commanders of the 500 Army, who were just about to get up, sat down again.
"Ji Zhi and Guangxing will go to Houxi Street with me to meet Wang Jingjiu, the commander of the Tenth Group Army, and I can meet the three army commanders Wang Yaowu, Ding Zhipan, and Sun Dianying, who were transferred from the Ninth War Zone, these three people know each other, right?"
