A pot of stewed chicken, a large plate of fried bacon with chili, plus a few vegetarian dishes such as salted green bamboo shoots, fried peanuts, and peeled boiled eggs, is considered a good table. Alcohol was forbidden in the army, but today a distinguished guest came to visit, and Gao Quan specially took a bottle of local liquor out.

Accompanied by Gao Quan and Xie Zhongming, the four generals raised their glasses of wine, first wishing the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, then the health of the leader, and finally wishing the prosperity of the country. After saluting the salute, everyone picked up chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to suppress the wine.

"Zhizhi, I brought Zhong Lin here, shouldn't you also invite the division commanders of the 500 Army to come over and introduce you?" After eating two bites of food, Wang Yaowu made a request to Gao Quan jokingly. Also, people brought their newly promoted main division commanders to pay a visit, and there is a military commander with a deputy commander on your side, and there are as many hosts as guests.

Seeing that Wang Yaowu actually picked a courtesy, Gao Quan smiled bitterly at that time. Although he knew that most of the ingredients in what people said were jokes, since these words came out of Commander Wang's mouth, then he always had to have a response, right?

"Brother Zuomin, don't you know my situation? Although the 500 Army is nominally an army establishment, I really only have a 500 division, and I, the army commander, are also the division commander. There are two deputy division commanders in the 500th Division, and those two are in the troops below, if the old man really wants to see him, I will send a messenger to call. ”

"Haha, don't scream, I'm just joking." Seeing that Gao Quan really meant to get up, Wang Yaowu hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "You and I are friendly soldiers when we fight, that is, we have the righteousness of comrades." I still have to inquire about my brother's situation. Oh, I don't mean to spy on the secrets of the 500 Army, don't get me wrong! In this battle of Changsha, the 500 Army made such a great achievement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest highlight of this battle! I think that the 500 Army should soon be more than just one division in front of us, right? ”

Also, with the time of Gao Quan's enlistment, compared with the speed of his promotion, I am afraid that it will be absolutely difficult to promote the officer to one level in a short period of time, but it is completely possible to increase or decrease the establishment of the 500 army, or even increase the division by one! Listening to Wang Yaowu's words, Gao Quan's heart flickered, and he was rarely excited.

"Brother Zuomin, if you can do this, Gao Quan should be grateful!" Wang Yaowu is a backbone general of the Huangpu department, and he is widely popular in the top echelons of the army, if he is willing to spare no effort to say good things for Gao Quan, this thing may really be done! Thinking that the 500 Army might have two regular divisions, Gao Quan looked at Wang Yaowu's eyes a little eagerly.

"Eh, Yucheng doesn't dare to be, how can I, Wang Yaowu, have that kind of energy? Drunken lies, drunken lies. Wang Yaowu waved his hand again and again, but he always had a smile on his face, it seemed that as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely say good things for the 500 army.

Each person ate two bowls of rice, almost ate a few plates of dishes on the table, drank a bottle of wine for four people, and after they were full of wine and food, the two generals offered their farewell. Before leaving, he discussed with Gao Quan that Commander Wang would bring the three division commanders of the 74th Army to the 500th Army to watch the drill together, and in a few days, he would also invite Commander Gao to the 74th Army to watch the drill. Isn't it this kind of mutual visit and mutual observation and learning that exchanges between armies and generals are carried out?

It was a sunny day, with a hint of white clouds floating in the blue sky, the autumn sun hanging warmly in the sky, and the fresh wind blowing on the face, which made people's mood unconsciously feel much more comfortable.

A team completely different from the local national army troops drove across the Laodao River bridge. It was a convoy with two motorcycles in front of the road, followed by four jeeps, and two large army green trucks in the back. The truck's open canvas compartment could be seen filled with soldiers wearing dark green helmets. Soon after the end of the Second Battle of Changsha, there were frequent transfers of national army troops in northern Hunan, and it was normal to see troops on the road. It's just that this convoy still aroused the curiosity of the local people, and the passers-by couldn't help but stop and watch, and whispered.

The convoy was stopped 500 meters in front of the 500 barracks, where there was a checkpoint for the 500 Army.

"We are the observation group of the 74th Army, and we were invited by Commander Gao to come to your army to watch the exercise." An officer sitting on the side of the three-wheeled motorcycle explained to the soldiers at the checkpoint while showing his military ID.

The sentry didn't say much, but just looked at the car next to it, and after confirming that the number of people in the convoy was the same as the leading officer said, he raised his hand to let it go, and when the convoy passed by, he raised his hand to salute the convoy.

The convoy stopped in front of the camp gate, and after being inspected again, the camp gate opened, and the guards at the gate signaled that the convoy could enter.

"They all said that they were coming, and we sent a telegram to Commander Gao before we came, why did he still send someone to check?" The chief of staff, who was sitting next to him, muttered something to the commander beside him.

"That's because people's military regulations are strict, and the 500 army is strict in military discipline, and military centers should do this, and we have to learn more from others." Wang Yaowu educated his chief of staff with a serious expression.

On several jeeps sat the commander of the 74th Army and the three famous division commanders. A few days ago, Wang Yaowu made an appointment with Gao Quan of the 500 Army to visit the exercise, and today he specially called several main division commanders to meet with Gao Quan. Speaking of which, last time in Chunhua Mountain, not only the 58th Division relieved the siege, but even the 57th Division was helped by Gao Quan when he was passing by. Even Master Yu Chengwan had to come to express his gratitude to Gao Quan.

In front of the military department, Gao Quan led a large group of officers of the 500th Army to greet him. As soon as the convoy stopped, Wang Yaowu got off the first jeep, and Zhang Lingfu and two other major generals and officers were in the back car, presumably the other two division commanders of the 74th Army, right?

"Commander Gao, come, let me introduce you. This is Yu Chengwan, commander of the 57th Division, and this is Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division. This, hehe, this one doesn't need to be introduced, Zhang Lingfu. Wang Yaowu came up and introduced several generals around him to Gao Quan, and if he called him in front of everyone, he was affectionate, but he didn't seem to be very respectful, what occasion to use what to call, Wang Yaowu grasped this very well.

"Teacher Yu is good, Master Li is good, Brother Lingfu is good." Gao Quan saluted and shook hands with the three division commanders one by one.

"Commander Gao, last time I was in Malin, thanks to your cannonball support!" Yu Chengwan is a long-faced man, and his body exudes a strong bookish atmosphere. I can't see that such a person who is a little bookish is actually beating Toyota Fangtaro's Third Division into a half-paralyzed general.
