Gao Shuxun is also a veteran in the army, and he knows a lot about the boss Jiang behind him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He knows that Boss Jiang is not afraid of his subordinates being greedy for life and death, and he is not afraid of his subordinates being corrupt and perverting the law, but he is afraid of one thing, that is, he is eyebrow-raising.
In the army, no matter how many military exploits you have made, no matter what position you are in now, as long as Boss Jiang thinks that you are suspected of colluding with the Communist Party, then he can clearly tell you that your good days are over.
Even Chen Geng, who once saved Boss Jiang, was not cleaned up miserably, although in the end Boss Jiang did not ask for Chen Geng's life, but Chen Geng did not escape from Huangpu in disgrace. Gao Shuxun's self-assertion of his identity cannot be compared with Chairman Chiang's proud protégé Chen Geng, and his own meeting of senior officers of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Lao Chiang, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Gao Shuxun's heart was indeed extremely entangled, he knew that Xie Wensheng came to help him this time, but Lao Jiang was like a sharp sword hanging over his and the entire New Eighth Army, which could fall at any time, so Gao Shuxun had to pay attention to it.
However, the new Eighth Army and the 69th Army are now on the verge of collapse, and if there are no strong reinforcements, then these two armies will not be able to support them for even a week, and the final result will be swallowed by the Japanese army to the bone. Out of the interests of the lives of his soldiers and the interests of the country and the nation, Gao Shuxun still decided to meet the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Xie.
There are not a few high-ranking officers of the Eighth Route Army that Gao Shuxun has seen, such as Zhu, Peng, Liu, He and others, but they were all met under the recommendation of Shi Yousan, and it is the first time that he has met with senior officers of the Eighth Route Army alone like this.
In order to let Xie Wensheng and others see the "sincerity" of him and the entire New Eighth Army, Gao Shuxun ordered all officers above the brigade level who stayed in Handan to immediately gather at the headquarters, and then went to the city gate to greet Xie Wensheng and others.
Soon Gao Shuxun and others arrived at the gate of the city, after all, this is a matter related to the life and death of the entire New Eighth Army, whether it is the officers of the New Eighth Army or the generals of the 69th Army, they dare not slack off, and immediately rushed to the headquarters to gather after receiving Gao Shuxun's telegram.
"Report to the military seat, Division Commander Xie has already passed the three-way crossing, and there is a distance of ten miles from the city gate, and it is expected to arrive in ten minutes!" A signal soldier hurried back at a gallop to report.
Gao Shuxun's spirit was shocked, and he said loudly: "It's hard work, go down and rest!"
Ten minutes later, Gao Shuxun saw a large group of cavalry rushing towards the city gate, stirring up a large cloud of dust. Gao Shuxun saw through the binoculars that there were at least 300 cavalry members, and each of the knights carried a horse pistol on their backs and a saber on their waists, and their momentum was extraordinary.
Gao Shuxun and the others were secretly shocked in their hearts, when did the Eighth Route Army become so arrogant, and the cost of these three hundred cavalry was not much worse than that of half a regiment of ordinary infantry. The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are notoriously poor, when he first came to southern Hebei, Gao Shuxun had visited the troops of the Eighth Route Army, although the momentum of the Eighth Route Army is indeed not comparable to ordinary troops, but no matter how elite the troops are with Hanyang, they can't exert much combat effectiveness, so Gao Shuxun was not welcome to the Eighth Route Army before.
Although Gao Shuxun agrees with some of the governing concepts that the Eighth Route Army has always adhered to and publicized to the outside world, he can only adopt a roundabout strategy of respecting and staying away from the Eighth Route Army out of the consideration of self-preservation.
This time, Gao Shuxun was also forced by the little devil, and after he took the risk of executing Shi Yousan, he also formed a tiger riding trend, not to die, but to die.
Yesterday Sun Lianzhong sent him a telegram apologizing, saying that the Second Army originally planned to send two infantry divisions to support the New Eighth Army. However, the Japanese army had apparently discovered the intention of the Second Army, and the 12th Army stationed in Shandong frantically attacked the defense area of the Second Army like a madman, and the two sides fought for nearly a week.
Therefore, Sun Lianzhong can only say sorry to Gao Shuxun, although Gao Shuxun is very unhappy, but he also knows that it is not that Sun Lianzhong does not help, but that the situation is stronger than others, and the strength of the Japanese army is still much stronger than them in the overall situation.
At this time, the strength of Gao Shuxun's department was far less than that of the Japanese army, especially the 69th Army had just experienced internal strife, and under the fluctuation of people's hearts, the combat effectiveness of the ten layers could only play five or six layers at most, plus an infantry division was completely annihilated by the Japanese army, and the entire New Eighth Army was on the same level as the army led by Kimura Hyotaro in terms of both the number and quality of soldiers. If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army taking the initiative to visit, Gao Shuxun would have planned to annihilate the whole army.
While Gao Shuxun was thinking wildly, Xie Wensheng and the others had already arrived at the city gate. This time, Xie Wensheng came to visit Gao Shuxun because he was instructed by Ma Zheng to have a good talk with Gao Shuxun.
To be honest, Xie Wensheng doesn't have a good impression of Gao Shuxun, because Xie Wensheng was born in the Jin Sui Army, and the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army have always been filthy, so Xie Wensheng looks down on officers from the Northwest Army.
In addition, in Xie Wensheng's heart, as long as the troops hostile to the Eighth Route Army are enemies, whether he is a Japanese puppet army or a Kuomintang army. And Shi Yousan was the top leader of the New Eighth Army and the 69th Army before, and Shi Yousan did have some ulterior motives for the Eighth Route Army, so even Xie Wensheng was very unkind to the current Gao Shuxun.
However, since Ma Zheng instructed him to visit Gao Shuxun, no matter what Xie Wensheng thought in his heart, he should have come. After all, Ma Zheng has always been famous in the army for knowing people and looking at the situation, so Xie Wensheng still attaches great importance to Ma Zheng's orders.
After Xie Wensheng got off the horse, he said generously: "Hello Commander Gao, I am Xie Wensheng, I took the liberty to visit, and I was personally greeted by Commander Lao Gao, and I am really honored!" ”
"Where, where the senior commander of the friendly army came to discuss the great cause of resisting Japan, how could Gao be lazy. Please also ask Master Xie to go into the city with me, please! ”
Gao Shuxun's shelf was placed very low, he knew that now the entire New Eighth Army was asking for help, as long as the Eighth Route Army could help them regardless of their previous suspicions, then his New Eighth Army and the Sixty-ninth Army would be saved.
"Please!" Xie Wensheng also said.
The group entered Handan City under the opening of the guards, Gao Shuxun's temporary headquarters was located in the Handan Military Police Headquarters of the former Japanese army, all the facilities were extremely complete, except for the bed for resting was a Japanese-made tatami mat, the others were very suitable for Gao Shuxun's appetite, so Gao Shuxun took over the defense of Handan City and put the headquarters here.
Since it was already noon, Gao Shuxun directly took Xie Wensheng and the others to his reception room, which was where he usually had dinner with the officers of the New Eighth Army, and ordered someone to prepare the meal before going out of the city to greet Xie Wensheng and the others.
However, due to the limited conditions during the war, the standard of this welcome banquet of the New Eighth Army is still very high, and the dishes on the table are all loved by the soldiers, and compared with the things that Xie Wensheng and others usually eat, they are simply delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they are very luxurious.
Many things of the Chinese are negotiated at the wine table, and China's wine culture also occupies a very important position in the entire national culture. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Gao Shuxun suddenly raised his glass and said to Xie Wensheng: "I am very grateful to the leaders of the Eighth Route Army for sending Brigade Commander Chen to our new Eighth Army at this critical juncture, Brigade Commander Chen's arrival has given us great confidence, and I can't express my gratitude to the leaders of the Eighth Route Army by saying anything, and now I will use this glass of wine in my hand to thank the leaders of friendly forces for their care of our new Eighth Army, and I will do it first." ”
"Commander Gao is heroic, in fact, this time I came to Handan City on the orders of Commander Ma Zheng to discuss with Commander Gao about the joint anti-Japanese matter!" Xie Wensheng stood up and said.
The name of Ma Zheng Gao Shuxun is still very familiar, but he can't remember what he has to do with the senior leader of the Eighth Route Army who he has never met. However, Gao Shuxun believed that the anti-Japanese hero who was famous all over the country would not harm him, after all, the god of war of the Eighth Route Army, who completely annihilated the Japanese infantry wing was like eating and drinking, did not bother to calculate him, the commander of the ragtag army, and he was also a ragtag army in danger surrounded by heavy Japanese troops.
