Before recruiting this independent brigade, Hu Zongnan specially investigated the origin and achievements of this unit. Although this independent brigade was formed into a regimental brigade in a miscellaneous unit like the Third Army, the predecessor of this unit, the Independent Regiment, came from the Ninth Army, which participated in the Battle of Xinkou, and its combat strength was quite worth looking forward to. In particular, Gao Quan, the commander of the Independent Brigade, participated in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Linyi, a series of fierce battles, fought so many big battles without dying, and was promoted to general on the battlefield.

Hu Zongnan came to the Independent Brigade with the mentality of paying tribute to heroes and meeting a generation of fierce generals. The six gatekeepers at the gate of the camp gave him a pretty good impression, although the military uniform was a little old, the awe-inspiring murderous aura brought out from the top and bottom of the body made people dare not force their eyes, there are soldiers like this, it will be expected!

When Gao Quan heard that Chief Hu had come to inspect in person, he ordered Liu Qi to urgently form the team, and on the other hand, he took the golden tiger to the gate of the camp to greet this first-day protégé.

"Hello sir!" Gao Quan's standard standing salute. It has been a long time since he came to this era, and Gao Quan has learned the current way of saluting soldiers, even so, the military salute he performed is still more energetic than that of ordinary officers, and it looks so neat and neat.

Chief Hu liked Gao Quan as soon as he saw it. This young man looks so energetic, although the military uniform is old, it is cleanly washed, neatly dressed, and with that spirit all over his body, which makes people look comfortable.

"Is Brigade Commander Gao still used to coming to Xinyang?" After Commander Hu politely returned the salute, he cordially asked this rare brigade commander, and the attitude of Corporal Lixian was undoubted.

"Thank you, sir, for your concern. Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and when this big war, Gao Quan resolutely obeys the commander's dispatch, kills the enemy for the country, and never flinchs! "The answer is sonorous and powerful, what an iron-blooded soldier!

"Okay, okay." Hu Zongnan even smiled at his eyebrows, such an iron-blooded warrior actually began to show loyalty to himself, Hu's charm is really not covered. Today's trip was really in vain! "Brigadier Gao, will you take me to meet your heroic troops?" In Hu Zongnan's imagination, the Independent Brigade was still the one that was withdrawn from the Linyi front line and fought fiercely with the Fifth Division of the Devils for nearly a month.

"Sir Mingjian," Gao Quan's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, "When our unit was withdrawn from Linyi, the casualties were too heavy, and the troops recruited a lot of recruits, and the training was insufficient, I am afraid that Chief Hu will be disappointed." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Hu Zongnan was in a very good mood at this time, and it really made him happy to be able to get the allegiance of such a fierce general. As for what recruits are too many and the training is insufficient, Chief Hu doesn't care about it at all, in his mind, it is all Gao Quan's modest words, just looking at the guards at the camp gate, you can see that the military appearance and military discipline of this army are very good! Although it is still a little worse than its own first army, there are few local troops that can do this!

Gao Quan saw that Chief Hu was determined to inspect his troops, so he had to lead the way, "Chief Hu, please!" Ladies and gentlemen, please! ”

Under the leadership of Liu Qi, the troops have finished lining up on the playground. More than 1,000 people stood in a generous team with rules and regulations. The military uniforms are neat, the queue is okay, and at first glance, it really has a little taste of a hundred battles.

Chief Hu walked slowly into the barracks with his huge retinue regiment, waving as he went, with a gentle smile on his face, and it could be seen that Chief Hu's first impression of this army was still good. In front of the procession was the rostrum, and Gao Quan led the team of commanders to the stage to inspect his troops.

After standing in the center of the rostrum, Chief Hu looked down, and his smile slowly froze on his face. The people below looked at it from the side, it looked like that, standing on the rostrum and looking down, but they could see it clearly.

When soldiers wear military uniforms, they generally fasten their buttons tightly, and no matter how old the military uniforms, as long as they are all buttoned, they can also show a bit of military appearance. But these people, especially the group of people in the middle of the team facing the rostrum, basically the three buttons on them are not fastened. One by one, they are open-chested, some of them don't even wear shirts, they show their black chest hair, some of them are full of meat, and some of them have thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, how do you look at it, how do you not look like a serious person!

The commander lectured that the general soldier was all about looking ahead and looking at the commander with his eyes, which is the most basic quality of a soldier. But the eyes of these people are floating around. From the exposed neck and half of the chest of a tall fat man, the pattern of the green and black tattoo can be clearly seen. A thin man with a long scar on his face, and a guy at the back of the line with an eye obliquely entwined around him. At a cursory glance, these people stood neatly and neatly, and when they looked closely, they were crooked and loose one by one, and then they desperately wanted to fight well, or how they looked at how they were uncoordinated. People's temperament will not change, obviously it is a vermicelli, if he has to pretend to be shark fin, he has to pretend to be it!

Who is Hu Zongnan? At a glance, you can see what kind of army is this? These guys are simply a bunch of bandits in military uniforms!

No man shall be disguised, and no sea shall be measured. A heroic army that turns into a team of murderous bandits in the blink of an eye! Chief Hu had no doubt that the vast majority of the people in this team were still real bandits and bandits not long ago, and among them, except for the six people at the gate, there were definitely no more than a hundred people standing here! When our elite division faced the Japanese, only one of them was wiped out?

Chief Hu looked at the bandit team below, and had mixed feelings for a while, and all kinds of words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word. The senior officers of the corps headquarters behind Hu Zongnan also saw that something was wrong with this army, the commander didn't speak, and of course they couldn't speak, and the atmosphere at the scene was so awkwardly deadlocked.

Gao Quan saw that it was not a matter to go on like this, and walked up to Hu Zongnan in a few steps, "Smack!" "A salute," all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade would like to ask Chief Hu to give a lecture! This time, he didn't dare to say anything about applause and welcome, with the speech of Commander Guo of the Yicheng Military Camp, Gao Quan knew that as long as there were recruits in his troops, he couldn't engage in such a formalized thing as applause and welcome.

Lecture? I don't know how many times I have lectured the troops, all kinds of official words, clichés, truths, and falsehoods are all well understood, and it is said that he should be able to deal with this kind of scene freely, and if he opens his mouth casually, he can speak into chapters and witty words, but now, in the face of such a team, Chief Hu has been thinking for a long time, and although he has a belly full of splendid articles in his heart, he does not know how to speak.
