Chapter 19: Scouting Friendly Forces
Well, anyway, Minister Chen is extending an olive branch and showing goodwill, and of course Commander Gao has no reason to refuse. He sent a telegram thanking Minister Chen for his kindness, and assured that the wedding would be very lively, and he also brought Minister Chen a bag of candy. This is called coming and going, the olive branch handed over by your minister, I took it from Gao Quan!
Jin Hu, the commander of the mobile detachment, and Xiao Guihua, the head of the confidential section, were about to get married, and the military seat ordered a wedding banquet, and all the divisions and brigades of the 500 Army were excited. After receiving the notice from the military headquarters, the two new division commanders, Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi, immediately began to select candidates for the banquet. Even if the military seat says that all the officers above the 500 barracks will participate, then they can't all go! The big guys are all going to drink the wedding wine, in case something happens, there is not even a family member in the army who can make ideas, then where will it be?
Choosing people to go to the banquet and preparing gifts, this busy meal is busier than when they got married.
The Second Battle of Changsha has ended, and the new battle has not yet begun, and the entire area south of the Xinqiang River in northern Hunan is the area ruled by the national army, and the Japanese army is all north of the Xinqiang River. The two brigade commanders, Zhang Erxiao and Liu Qi, are better than trying to draw a canvas defense map, but if you want to say reconnaissance, there is no enemy, do you reconnoiter yourself? Then use reconnaissance? Wherever you go, which division and brigade commander will hide these two?
Just compared to drawing, that is the work of the staff officers, and it does not show the ability of the two brigade commanders! As soon as the two discussed, they couldn't just be limited to Xiangyin, there were all chassis of the 500 army around here, just like their own backyard, and engaging in reconnaissance was like a child playing at home, which was too unchallenging! If you want to do it, do something exciting, go and scout friendly forces!
When you go to other friendly units to conduct reconnaissance, you must not only draw detailed defense drawings, but also be able to avoid being discovered by the other party without knowing it! If any unit is discovered by others or finally found out, if there is nothing to say, it will be judged to lose directly!
The news that Jin Hu was going to get married, of course, the two high-ranking people of the 500 Army were notified. At that time, Zhang Erxiao proposed that the competition between the two armies should be delayed, and the competition would be followed after attending the wedding. The military seat has personally issued a notice to do a big deal for the Golden Tiger, we are both veterans of the 500 Army, and the Golden Tiger is his own brother, this field must be held!
"Hehe, second brother, if you're afraid, just say it, there's no need to shirk it." Liu Qiqian squinted his eyes and pursed the corners of his mouth, how angry he would be.
"Who's scared? Xiao Qi, you made it clear! How? You're not going to Golden Tiger's wedding? You didn't listen to the greeting of the military seat? Zhang Erxiao couldn't see Liu Qi's expression the most, and his eyes widened at that time.
The two of them sat in Zhang Erxiao's brigade commander's office and drank tea with peanuts. It is not a New Year's holiday, and the army is not allowed to drink alcohol, but these two commanders can take the lead in complying with it. There was no one else in the office except these two chiefs. Knowing that talking to Liu Qi would inevitably raise a bar, stumble or something, in order not to let others see the joke, Brigade Commander Zhang had already sent people far away.
"Look at you, you stare when you talk, and I'm afraid of you if you stare at me?" Liu Qi couldn't change his habit of ridiculing Zhang Erxiao when he was free, "I didn't say that Jin Hu's wedding wouldn't go, right?" Jin Hu is my little brother, my brother is married, if you don't go, I have to go. ”
"Then what do you mean by all this nonsense? Is co-authoring trying to fight with me? "Zhang Erxiao has long been accustomed to Liu Qi's behavior, he took a sip of the teacup, pinched a fried peanut and threw it into his mouth, and chewed it comfortably." We both have to go to the wedding of the Golden Tiger, doesn't this competition have to be postponed? Can you still compare the results in these two days? ”
"The second brother really still has something in his head, and he can guess what I mean with a guess." It was obviously a compliment, but as soon as it came out of Liu Qi's mouth, it changed its taste. "Let's use these two days to compare. Starting tonight, tomorrow will be one day during the day, and tomorrow night will be another night, and we will see the results at noon the day after tomorrow. In the afternoon, prepare a wedding gift for Jin Hu. Anyway, there are a lot of people who help at the wedding, so let's send a few people over to watch it, so as not to delay the main day in three days! ”
"Good! I'll follow the path you draw, who told you to call me brother? Brigade Commander Zhang is not a master who is willing to suffer, he picked up the teacup and drank it all, leaned back on the chair, and put on the panache of being a big brother.
That night, Zhang Erxiao and Liu Qi, two brigade commanders, each led fifty elite soldiers to sneak out of the barracks at night. A friendly force relatively close to Linxiang was the 99th Division, the main force of the 99th Army, which was guarding the camp. The choice of which friendly reconnaissance team these two brigade commanders did not have any special purpose, as long as it was close and convenient for retreating.
Other troops don't find out, in fact, they don't find out either. It's just that the 500 Army is stationed in Linxiang is the second line of defense behind the camp, and this point was conveyed to the division and brigade commanders when Gao Quan held the military meeting of the 500 Army after returning from the theater meeting, and the two brigade commanders Zhang Liu had a good impression of the 99th Army.
"Take care!" Usually jokes are jokes, but when it comes to a critical time, Zhang Erxiao and Liu Qi still take care of each other. The two saluted each other, and after taking care of each other, they led their men and went north along the left and right roads.
Gao Quan knew that these two people went to investigate the 99th Army. The two main brigade commanders under his command led people to the friendly army to conduct reconnaissance, and if he, the commander, did not know anything about it, then his ability to control the troops would be very doubtful.
In addition to the report of Shi Lei of the reconnaissance group, Zhang Erxiao and Liu Qi themselves also made reports to the military seat respectively, and Gao Quan did not care about this. He believes in the abilities of Liu Qi and Zhang Erxiao, and also believes in the brains of these two people, even if they can't do anything, they can't poke any big baskets.
Liu Qi has reconnoitred countless times to the devil, no matter how tightly Fu Zhongfang's defense is, can he be stricter than the Sixth Division? And Zhang Erxiao is more slippery than a loach, he doesn't know if he can win in the reconnaissance competition, but Brigade Commander Zhang will definitely be able to come back safely, Gao Quan is still sure of this, since this is the case, how these two people want to toss, let them toss how they want. Commander Gao has more important things to do, and he doesn't have time to the hearts of these two people.
The next day, the military headquarters and mobile detachment of the 500th Army were busy. There is an endless stream of helpers and congratulations. Jin Hu is quite popular in the 500 Army, and almost all officers above the regimental level have some friendship with him. It's not that Jinhu has a heavy sense of hierarchy and has a distance from the low-level officers and soldiers, but the main reason is that he has been serving as a guard by Gao Quan's side, and there are few low-level officers who come to the military headquarters, except for the military headquarters and the current mobile detachment, he can't contact the low-level officers of the rest of the troops.
"Golden Tiger, haha, how's it going? I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night, okay? As soon as Gao Quan entered the gate of the mobile detachment, he saw the golden tiger running towards him, and seeing this little brother facing the greatest joy in his life, Gao Quan couldn't help but smile and joke.
