"It's great that those three generals are here too! Gao Quan had a very close relationship with Commander Wang of the 74th Army and Commander Sun of the New Fifth Army when they were in the Ninth War Zone, and I was really happy to be able to meet my old friend today. Of course, it is an honor to meet General Wang Jingjiu in person. "It turned out that I was going to the Tenth Army to meet Wang Jingjiu! For this famous anti-Japanese general, Gao Quan really has some expectations in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go!" Just leave, Shangguan Yunxiang has been in the army for many years, and he has long developed a style of acting decisively and not dragging mud and water. As soon as he said this, the staff officers of the group army headquarters were all busy, packing up things, delivering orders, and making phone calls.

Shangguan Yunxiang, as the commander, didn't care so much, and after casually explaining a few words to the staff officers around him, he pulled Gao Quan and Wu Guangxing out and left.

The road on the mountain is rugged and narrow, making it inconvenient to drive, and even Shangguan Yunxiang, a lieutenant general, has to walk as a car if he wants to go down the mountain. There were garrison troops in the headquarters of the group army, and the guard platoon brought by Gao Quan was also mixed with the soldiers of these garrison troops, and hundreds of people hugged each other.

Gao Quan, Shangguan Yunxiang, Wu Guangxing, plus a chief of staff of the 32nd Group Army, and the four generals walked in the middle, surrounded by garrison troops advancing at the same speed. Hundreds of people descended the mountain together, blocking the way down the mountain. Whoever wants to rush up the mountain at this time, even if the guards below the mountain don't stop him, he won't be able to pass.

"Admonishment, when you go back to see Wang Youping, you can just watch the excitement." Shangguan Yunxiang suddenly said such an inexplicable sentence to Gao Quan.

"What does the Commander say about this?" It is said that since Gao Quan is a subordinate, according to the current rules, he should be honored as Shangguan Yunxiangjun or Chief. It's just that I'm not a little interested in the civil war in which this boss became famous in the country, and today is the first time we met, and the two sides still have to get acquainted with each other, so they still call each other commanders. As for Wu Guangxing, he is completely following Gao Quan's footsteps, whatever Gao Quan calls Shangguan Yunxiang, he will call him, and he is absolutely consistent with Gao Quan.

Shangguan Yun's title relative to Gao Quan seemed to have been expected, not only did he not feel the slightest displeasure, but his tone was more easy-going when he spoke to Gao Quan, and even people could feel that he was deliberately enveloping Gao Quan.

"According to the order of the Central Military Commission, this Quzhou campaign is to draw one of our seven armies to serve as the city defense of Quzhou. In the initial stage of the campaign, this defending force had to withstand the siege of several divisions of the Japanese army, and it was not until all the troops on both sides were in place that the six armies on the periphery launched a general attack! Therefore, the army defending the city will be under a lot of pressure and suffer a lot of losses in the first half of the campaign, or even in the entire campaign! Just like Li Yutang's Tenth Army during the Third Battle of Changsha. ”

"The Military Commission has only set a rough strategic plan for us, and as for who to send to defend the city and who to send to participate in the later general offensive on the periphery, these must be negotiated by our two group armies themselves first, and then Commander Gu can report to the Military Commission for orders."

"I see!" Gao Quan looked like he suddenly realized what he thought, "Then why didn't the commander call Ding Zhipan of the 25th Army and Zhang Wenqing of the 26th Army to come over and go to Houxi Street together?" "There are three armies under the command of the 32nd Group Army, and now only the two family members of the 500th Army follow the commander to the military meeting of the other group army, this is indeed a bit strange, Gao Quan thinks that his personality charm is not so strong, and it should not be to the point where Shangguan Yunxiang will introduce him as a confidant and confidant when they meet for the first time.

"I have already sent someone to send a letter to the two military commanders, Ding Si'an and Zhang Lianfu. The 25th and 26th armies were still a little far from Changshan, and it was completely unnecessary to let the two generals run back and forth, so I informed them to go directly to Houxi Street to meet. I'm here today, and if I'm a little late, I'll send a messenger to inform you!" Shangguan Yunxiang smiled, as if Gao Quan was lucky to catch up with him.

As he walked, time flew by, and it didn't take long for me to reach the bottom of the mountain. There was already a convoy at the foot of the mountain ready to go, and presumably when they came out of the headquarters, those staff officers and adjutants who were messily calling to convey orders had already begun to arrange cars. Shangguan Yunxiang beckoned Gao Quan to board the car, and Gao Quan insisted on standing on the side and waited for the commander to get on the bus first before he got on the car. After politely saying a few polite words, each got into the jeep.

Two trucks full of armed soldiers opened the road in front, and several troop carriers followed behind, and in the middle were five jeeps, and a mighty convoy drove away from Changshan Golden Nail.

It's not that Shangguan Yunxiang is putting on a show when so many people and cars are dispatched, and now he is fighting with the Japanese army, who knows if he will meet the interspersed troops of devils on the way? If there are fewer people with him, if he encounters a devil, he, the commander of the group army, will have a good and bad situation, and wouldn't it be a big loss for this battle, for the third theater, and even for the anti-war forces of the whole country? As a front-line commander, Shangguan Yunxiang's arrangement of necessary protection is actually a manifestation of responsibility.

Originally, I thought that today I was here to meet Shangguan Yunxiang, and I went back to the headquarters to recognize the door, but I didn't expect to be dragged by Shangguan Commander to attend a military meeting between the two group armies. I don't know how long this meeting will last, this time I didn't bring a radio station, the two top commanders of the 500 Army went out together, the time is still uncertain, this matter must be notified to the troops. Before the convoy set off, Gao Quan left two guards to go back to inform Director Hong that he and Secretary Wu were going to have a military meeting, and the military headquarters was temporarily in charge of Director Hong.

The convoy went all the way south, and from time to time on the road you could meet the marching Nationalist troops, which were all units preparing for the Battle of Quzhou. Fortunately, there were no small Japanese troops on the way, and Shangguan Yunxiang's convoy successfully arrived at Houxi Street.

Houxi Street has long been turned into a large barracks, and jeeps, which are usually scarce resources, have been parked in the open air, and groups of military police with white steel helmets and white gloves are checking the personnel and vehicles passing by.

The convoy of the 32nd Group Army was not subjected to any interrogation, and the flag planted on the front car fully explained the origin of this convoy.

There was a neighing of horses, and suddenly a troop of cavalry rushed out from the flank, blocking the way of the convoy. The machine gunner lying on the front of the truck pulled the bolt and aimed the muzzle at the incoming person, and the soldiers on the truck also made a vigilant move.

"Is it the convoy of the 32nd Army? We are of the Twenty-Fifth Army. The cavalry saw the vigilance of the convoy and hurriedly introduced himself loudly, "The two commanders are here, and they want to see the commander-in-chief!" ”
