my bright sword career

Chapter 292
After the joke was over, everyone turned their attention to the deputy commander in chief. Of course, he, the top leader of the Eighth Route Army, had to make a decision on such an important issue.

The deputy commander pondered for a long time, "Old Zuo, Gao Hongming said in the telegram that he hopes we can send out two or three regiments to cooperate with him in completing this plan, is that right?"

"Yes, Boss." The left deputy chief of staff smiled and said, "Gao Hongming said that He Yingqin has agreed to let the third army cooperate with his plan. He plans to go to Guojialing, Yangping Town, Gaojia, 60 kilometers west of Qiuyang County. Zhuang deployed defense lines in the three places and used the terrain advantage to attract the Japanese army so that the national army in Zhongtiao Mountain could take a breather.

For this reason, he hopes that we can dispatch troops of 8000 to [-] people to complete this plan. If the Eighth Route Army's strength is too tight, it is okay to cooperate with him from nearby county brigades and district teams. "

"County brigade, district squad?" The deputy commander snorted and said displeasedly: "This Gao Hongming is too underestimating people. The Japanese army dispatched 300 troops and more than [-] planes to Zhongtiao Mountain. He asked us to dispatch the county The brigade and the district team have come to cooperate with him, who is it looking down on?"

Commander Liu, Political Commissar Xiaoping, and the deputy chief of staff just smiled lightly, relying on the guns and spears in the hands of the county brigade and district team, if they could deal with the Japanese field divisions, the main force of the Eighth Route Army would have fought Arrived in Tokyo.

Master Liu sighed softly: "It seems that Gao Hongming still has concerns about us, this is clearly testing us, to see how we treat him."

"This Gao Hongming is good at everything, but he is too careful." The deputy commander in chief took a deep breath, "Our Eighth Route Army has always exchanged our hearts for our friends. If nothing else, he has helped us for more than a year. With so many munitions and materials, and the act of resolutely standing up for the 386 brigade in the Hundred Regiments War last time, we owe him a big favor.

Since he opened his mouth this time, let's help decide this place.I decided, this time I plan to transfer two regiments from the 129th Division, and then transfer two main regiments from the 115th Division to cooperate with Gao Hongming's actions.

We either don't help, or we help to the end. I want people all over the country to see that our Eighth Route Army has never been ambiguous about fighting devils! "

Hearing this, Master Liu was a little unhappy, "Boss, who are you looking down on? After the Hundred Regiments War, the 115th Division has just been transferred from Hebei, and it is still being repaired, so why bother them.

It's just four regiments, isn't it impossible for the 129th division to be drawn? "

The deputy commander-in-chief shook his head: "For this Zhongtiaoshan battle, Gangcun Ningci mobilized the elite forces of the North China Front Army. Once the battle starts, it is bound to be extremely tragic, so we must spread the risks evenly.

Furthermore, if we do not allow the 115th Division to participate in this war, Master Lin will have an opinion, so it is decided.Lao Zuo, you draft a telegram and send it to Yan'an immediately, and act immediately after the approval of your superiors. "

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The evening of August 5

Gao Hongming, who was urging the troops to excavate the fortifications, received a report that Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army, came to visit and waited at Laoye Temple.

Gao Hongming hurriedly brought Dabao and more than ten guards to the Laoye Temple on the mountainside.

As soon as he came to the gate of Laoye Temple, he saw a group of soldiers standing scattered around Laoye Temple.

Gao Hongming also noticed that the clothes of this group of soldiers were quite distinctive.

He has been in this time and space for a year and a half, and he has seen a lot of military clothes.

There is the Central Army wearing a German-style helmet and a yellow-green military uniform, there is the Northwest Army wearing a British Tony steel helmet and a gray cloth military uniform, there is also a Guangdong-Guangxi Army wearing a British helmet and a khaki military uniform, and there are still gray cloth caps and gray military uniforms. Sichuan Army.

However, the army in front of him was different from the ones he had seen before. This army was dressed in blue-green uniforms and wore a strange and unusual steel helmet.

This kind of steel helmet has a small brim like a duck tongue, and there is a protruding ridge in the middle of the top, which is like a miniature version of the cockscomb on the helmet of the ancient Roman Empire. It seems that this kind of steel helmet is more in line with the Orientals than the large German and British helmets. The shape of the head gives people the feeling that this kind of helmet must be very comfortable to wear on the head.

It turned out that this helmet was the M1915 Adrian helmet of the French army, and this army was the third army of the Yunnan Army led by Tang Huaiyuan.

Just as Gao Hongming was sizing up the army secretly, a man in his fifties with the rank of lieutenant general strode towards him.

With a beard on his lips, the lieutenant general looked quite gentle, giving the first impression that he was like a neighbor's uncle.

However, Gao Hongming did not dare to neglect at all, because he knew that this must be Tang Huaiyuan, the commander of the third army.

Facing this patriotic general who committed suicide on the top of the hanging mountain with a gun in order to preserve the integrity of the nation in another historical time and space, Gao Hongming did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward quickly to salute a standard military salute: "The Liantai County Civic Corps The head of the regiment, Gao Hongming, has seen Officer Tang, please give me instructions!"

Tang Huaiyuan looked at him carefully first, and said with a smile: "Before I came, I was still thinking that if I could lead a local militia group, I would dare to challenge the [-]th and [-]th Divisions of the Japanese Army and severely damage them. What kind of man is he who is now leading a lone army straight into Zhongtiao Mountain? I never imagined that he would be such a young hero, formidable for future generations... really formidable for future generations!"

Gao Hongming said modestly: "Don't dare to praise the chief. As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. The department is just doing its duty."

"Hey... don't be humble, you deserve this praise." Tang Huaiyuan waved his hand, "We soldiers don't talk about poor literati, we can do whatever we want. If you hadn't sent the air force to support us in time the day before yesterday We, the Third Army, may have been eaten by the 37th Division long ago, and it can be said that tens of thousands of brothers in our Third Army owe you their lives."

Unexpectedly, Tang Huaiyuan, who looked like the uncle next door, was so straightforward. Gao Hongming had an even better impression of him, "Mr. Tang, don't praise the department anymore. I can't help but praise, and it's easy to turn my tail. If it's because of you If you made a mistake in your praise, it is your fault."

"Oh...hahaha..." Tang Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Come on... Let me introduce some of our colleagues from the Third Army for you. This is Cun Xingqi, the commander of the No.12 Division, this is Li Shilong, the commander of the Seventh Division, and this is the chief of staff of the No.12 Division. Chen Yaoxian, this is the seventh division..."

Listening to Tang Huaiyuan's introduction, Gao Hongming also saluted them one by one. There was nothing he could do... He, the head of the militia, was at best a colonel, and these people in front of him were all higher than him in any military rank.
