"Yes!" One of the guards driving the car immediately turned around and ran straight towards Jiangpu County.

Outside Jiangpu County, the security regiment was still confronting the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Division, but the confrontation between the two sides was very interesting, and the officers and men of the security regiment were all sitting in armored vehicles and trucks, shielding themselves from the wind and snow.

The 2nd Battalion of the 1st Division needed to squat in the cold trenches and endure the cold and wind. However, these ** elites who are accustomed to life and death are really not covered, although the weather is bad, although they have to endure cold and hunger, no one is scratched.

Everyone is engrossed in squatting at their posts, which can be described as fulfilling their duties.

On an armored combat vehicle, Qiao Anbang was holding a roasted golden chicken leg and feasting, when Qiao Anbang was eating with a mouth full of oil, suddenly the car door was opened, and Zhang Xudong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, stood up panting and reported: "Passenger seat, there is a situation, the second platoon reports, there is a military jeep driving from the direction of Pukou." ”

Although the security regiment could not advance, Qiao Anbang still sent out a group of scouts to make sure that everything was prepared.

"Oh? Maybe the main owner of the first division has arrived, and it seems that the time has come to settle the matter. Wait a little longer. After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he picked up the uneaten chicken leg and continued to take a big bite and eat it.

Zhang Xudong looked at Qiao Anbang's fragrant food and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Qiao Anbang noticed Zhang Xudong's change, took out another chicken leg from the lunch box next to him, handed it to him and said, "Hurry up and eat it, this thing won't taste good if it's cold." ”

"Yes, thank you!" Zhang Xudong was also not polite, but the chicken leg was torn and gnawed, and he praised it while eating: "It's delicious......"

In fact, in the Longshan barracks, the officers and men of the security regiment can eat a lot of meat, and with Qiao Anjia, a competent logistics minister, and Qiao Anbang's strong money as the backing, the food of all the officers and men is very good.

However, since the troops left the Longshan barracks, although the food was not too bad, it could not be as abundant as in the barracks, after all, it was not as easy to bury pots and cook and carry supplies during the march as in the barracks.

Therefore, Zhang Xudong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, has not eaten the golden and shiny oil juice roasted chicken thighs like this, and Zhang Xudong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, has not eaten them for more than half a month.

………………

In Jiangpu City, the regimental headquarters of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division.

Colonel Yang Jie, commander of the Second Regiment and deputy commander of the First Brigade, was leisurely drinking tea in the regiment headquarters, and he didn't take the affairs of the security regiment to heart.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded from outside the regimental headquarters, and at the same time, the voices of the two guards guarding outside sounded: "Division! ”

When Yang Jie heard the word "Master's seat", he immediately felt a thrill, hurriedly put down the celadon teacup in his hand, and got up suddenly.

Just as he was about to go out to greet him, Li Tiejun, the commander of the First Division, strode in.

Seeing Li Tiejun, Yang Jie immediately stood up and saluted: "I don't know that the master seat is coming, and the humble position is far away, please sit Haihan." ”

"Hmmm! You're welcome, just sit down. Li Tiejun said and took off his pair of white gloves and sat down.

Li Tiejun sat down, but Yang Jie did not sit down, but turned around and personally took the thermos and respectfully poured a cup of hot water for Li Tiejun.

Li Tiejun took the hot water with satisfaction and asked, "I heard that a local regiment was stopped by your regiment?" ”

"Yes, I was stopped by the second battalion of my regiment." Yang Jie said: "According to the report of the second battalion, the origin of this regiment is somewhat unknown, and it also has a lot of armored vehicles and trucks. ”

"How many armored vehicles are there? Are they well equipped? Li Tiejun asked.

"This ......" Yang Jie was speechless, because it was freezing outside, and he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, he really didn't check it.

"Ridiculous, as the head of a regiment, why don't you go and check the situation yourself. If something happens, will you take responsibility? Li Tiejun saw that Yang Jie was so careless, and he immediately became angry.

Yang Jie knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to talk back, but lowered his head in shame.

"Hmph, follow me to see the situation, if it's really a team of resistance, let them go, now I say that I am going to fight in Nanjing, Nanjing City is in danger, more people will have more strength." Li Tiejun gave a cold victory, and immediately got up and walked outside.

Yang Jie hurriedly followed.

After Li Tiejun left the regiment headquarters, he got into the jeep directly and ordered the guards who were driving: "Go to the position of the second battalion in the north of the city." ”

"Yes!" The guards answered, and immediately started the car and drove towards the north of the city.

Yang Jie followed, and when he saw that Li Tiejun had already left in the car, he hurriedly followed with the guard company.

Li Tiejun's author jeep soon came to the north of the city, the position of the second battalion, and the commander of the second battalion, Qian Dashan, hurriedly led people to greet him.

"Where's that security group?" Li Tiejun asked with a tense face. In fact, a security regiment was intercepted, and Li Tiejun, as the commander of a division, really didn't need to come to ask in person, what caught his attention was that a security regiment could be equipped with a large number of armored vehicles.

"Back to the master's seat, they are in front of my forward position." Qian Dashan hurriedly replied.

"Lead the way, I'll go see what's going on." Li Tiejun ordered in a cold voice.

"Master, isn't this appropriate? Your safety is important. Qian Dashan hesitated.

"What are you afraid of, if they were really enemies, they would have launched an attack on you. Besides, isn't there still your second battalion to protect me? Li Tiejun said in a cold tone: "Lead the way." ”

"Yes!" Qian Dashan stood upright, agreed with a bang, and immediately led the way forward.

"Passenger seat, there is a situation." On the armored car, Zhang Xudong, who had been observing the situation with a telescope, pushed Qiao Anbang, who was already asleep.

"Oh?" Qiao Anbang woke up when he heard the sound and immediately took the binoculars. After observing with the telescope for a while, Qiao Anbang said with some excitement: "Let's go, it seems that the Lord is here." ”

After speaking, Qiao Anbang took the lead in getting out of the car and strode forward.

As he got closer, Qiao Anbang shouted loudly: "Brothers of the First Division, can you let us go?" ”

Li Tiejun glanced at Qiao Anbang from afar, turned his head and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Qian Dashan, who was behind, hurriedly replied: "This person claims to be the deputy head of the Pheasant and Ji Security Regiment, named Qiao Anbang. ”

"Joan Bang?" Li Tiejun frowned and thought about it, making sure that he hadn't heard of it, and immediately said: "Order him, come and see me immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Qian Dashan happily agreed, and immediately strode forward and shouted: "Deputy Commander Qiao, we have an order from the division, let Deputy Commander Qiao come over to see him quickly." ”

"Vice-seat, can't go. What if they try to deceive them? When Zhang Xudong heard this, he immediately suggested to Qiao Anbang.

"Don't be afraid, they are not devils, they are all patriotic soldiers, and they won't do anything to me." Qiao Anbang thought for a moment. It seems that if you want to pass through this place smoothly, you have to go out yourself, and it should be no problem to give the other party some benefits when necessary, and this is how Qiao Anbang came here. Otherwise, how can they shut up about their forever large number of artillery and armored combat vehicles?

After making up his mind, Qiao Anbang strode towards the opponent's position.

Several soldiers hurriedly moved the barricade, and after letting Qiao Anbang in, they moved the barricade back.

After Qiao Anbang entered the position of the second battalion, Li Tiejun had already returned to the headquarters of the second battalion, and under the leadership of a soldier, Qiao Anbang also followed to the headquarters of the second battalion.

As soon as he entered the camp headquarters, Qiao Anbang saw a Li Tiejun dressed in a general's uniform, and he reacted very quickly and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Qiao Anbang, the deputy head of the Yingzhou Pheasant and Ji Security Regiment, has seen the commander. ”

Li Tiejun looked at Qiao Anbang, and saw that Qiao Anbang had good facial features and a lofty spirit, and his first impression of Qiao Anbang was not bad. Nodding secretly, Li Tiejun asked in a deep voice: "Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao, your Pheasant and Ji Security Regiment should be a local county-level armed force, right?" ”

"Yes!" Qiao Anbang replied with a respectful face.

"Then why do you have so many military tanks and trucks? Also, I have heard that your regiment is numbered in the thousands. Li Tiejun wanted to know most about this, so he asked straight to the point.

"Back to the sir, it's like this, our regiment is funded by a Chinese-American patriotic businessman, so it is equipped with some armored combat vehicles and advanced weapons, the reason why the soldiers can have today's people is entirely because my father in northern Anhui has a patriotic heart, and when he learned that he has invaded my China, the national disaster is at the head, and every family in the father's hometown in northern Anhui sends his son to send his husband to join the army to serve the country, hoping that we can be loyal to the country, filial piety for the nation, and contribute to the war of resistance!" Jo Anbang made up a reason that he thought was good.

"Oh!" Although Li Tiejun didn't fully believe Qiao Anbang's words, he couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

Seeing that Li Tiejun was not speaking, Qiao Anbang stepped forward and said, "May I ask the chief with his surname?" ”

"Contemptible National Revolutionary Army Army First Division Lieutenant General Li Tiejun!" Li Tiejun said proudly.

"Oh! It turned out to be Master Li! Qiao Anbang pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and immediately began to pat himself on the back: "General Li's humble position is really thunderous, and the respect for Senior Commander Li is like a surging ......river."

After being flattered by Qiao Anbang for a while, Li Tiejun's frowning brows gradually relaxed, a soldier like Li Tiejun, who is self-assured of his old qualifications and has military achievements, of course he likes others to flatter him, but in fact, as long as he is a person, he likes to flatter good words.

In the end, Qiao Anbang said in an astonishing voice: "General Li, in order to show my admiration for you, I have decided to give you 50 Makqin heavy machine guns, 300 Czech light machine guns, and 3,000 medium rifles!" Fifty Krupp 75mm field guns. Please laugh! ”

"What?" Li Tiejun was shocked when he heard this, obviously he couldn't believe it, he thought he had heard it wrong, these equipment were enough for a brigade, especially light and heavy machine guns, and it was enough for a division.

"Returning to the sir, I said that I would give our 1st Division 50 heavy machine guns and 300 light machine guns, plus 3,000 medium and formal rifles and 50 75mm Krupp field guns. For the purpose of resisting the soldiers of the first division! Qiao Anbang thought that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed the gift to Li Tiejun to the first division.

"Three or more than three hundred light and heavy machine guns? More than fifty 75 field guns? Qian Dashan, the commander of the second battalion on the side, was shocked.

Li Tiejun was also shocked, then stood up, and hurriedly said excitedly: "In this way, thank you so much to Deputy Head Qiao, with this batch of equipment, the brothers will have the capital to fight the little devils in the future!" "Although the first division is the first trump card, how can there be soldiers who think that there are too many guns? And this is still a large amount of equipment, which is much stronger than the one issued by the central government.

"Sir is so polite! also contributed to the Anti-Japanese War, and these equipment can be used to the best of their ability when they reach your master! Qiao Anbang's face did not change at all. Armament, weapons, money, it's really just a number for him, how much he wants. Although the Krupp 75 field gun is already an obsolete artillery, in China, which lacks artillery, it is still good.

The reason why this field artillery was given to the first division, instead of giving them more advanced, was because Qiao Anbang considered the supply problem, if they were given American-style equipment, the shells were finished, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for the first division to get supplies, and these German equipment, for the first division, supply should not be a problem.
