The Battle of Henan-China ended, and the first theater had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, but it ended in a big defeat. The central government is furious, and the whole country is shocked!

Theater Commander Jiang Dingwen was dismissed! Deputy Commander Tang Enbo was dismissed! In anger, the commission issued a long list of punishment orders in a row: from the commander of the theater of operations to the division commander and brigade commander below, the dismissal of those who were dismissed, and the sentence of the sentence. Even a few officers who were ineffective in fighting, brutalized the villagers, and were extremely angry with the people, were shot to death. But even so, the defeat of the Battle of Central Henan, the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the ending of the urban areas along the Jinghan Railway occupied by the Japanese army could not be changed.

After the end of the offensive and defensive battle of Queshan, the 500th Army spent most of its time around the Tongbai Mountains and rarely went far away. And the devil doesn't seem to be very willing to provoke this thorn, and he generally doesn't easily provoke right and wrong near Tongbai Mountain, so the two sides actually formed a strange balance situation.

The entire battle of Central Henan was lost and a large area of the country was lost, which was an unprecedented defeat. From the chairman of the National Government and the Military Commission, down to the soldiers in the army, and the poor people who had nothing, they were all enveloped in a mood of pessimism and disappointment.

At this time, Liu Ruming, commander-in-chief of the Second Group Army, reported that during the offensive and defensive battle of Queshan, the friendly 500 Army had inflicted heavy losses on the 11th Brigade of the Japanese invaders in a coordinated operation, captured its tank brigade alive, and killed the commander of the tank brigade, Yoshio Inada, and more than 1,000 Japanese officers and men under his command.

Good boy! It's terrible that this news is reported! The Military Commission was suddenly boiling! Some slapped the table and applauded, and some scolded Liu Ruming for falsely reporting his military exploits and making up nonsense too much. The pros and cons argued over each other, and the argument reached a fierce point, and some of them were so short-tempered that they even took out their guns! In the end, Chen Cheng, director of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission, and He Yingqin, chief of the General Staff, both came forward and proposed to report to the commission for a judgment. At this point, the high-ranking generals are counted.

The committee has been worried about the domestic situation for a while, and the battle between Henan and China has actually been fought like this! Jiang Dingwen, a confidant he has always trusted, is so vulnerable, and even Tang Enbo, who has always been the most capable of fighting, lost the battle this time. And the Japanese did not relentlessly launch attacks along the Jinghan Railway! All these have made the commission passive in the mediation with those big domestic forces, and its reputation in the international community has been damaged! The chairman, who has always paid attention to international influence, has lost his adult this time!

According to the commissioner, this battle was the greatest humiliation he had suffered in decades! The land has fallen, the good generals have fallen, millions of people have gone into exile, and they have been laughed at by their allies! The commission is sleepless all night. At this most sad and disappointing time, Liu Ruming actually reported such good news to him! It's Gao Quan again, and it's 500 troops again! The committee members applauded. It is said that the chairman actually drank a small glass of wine at dinner that day. This is the first time in the world for a commission that does not stick to alcohol!

Prize! Be sure to win a big prize! At the Military Commission, the chairman of the committee made a final decision and set the tone for the victory of the 500 Army on the spot! At this moment, the senior officials of all parties of the Military Commission are speechless, and the prestige of the chairman is supreme!

Special events, rewards must be timely! It seems that Gao Quan has been awarded several times? Some senior members of the Central Military Commission muttered in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything indiscriminately about the revival of the commission. I can only sigh in my heart, this Gao Quan is in a good time again!

The commendation order was issued: Gao Quan was awarded a medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun! The 500 Army, Wu Guangxing, Xie Zhongming, Wang Dazhu, Qian Sixi, and all the generals were medaled! That's not all, the independent division of the 500 Army was officially included in the establishment, and the new 502nd Division was awarded! Zheng Guotai was appointed as the commander of the new 502nd Division! The focus of this victory, the armored corps of the 500th army was also granted the official establishment by the military commission, and Jin Hu was appointed as the colonel of the armored corps.

The commendation order suddenly caused a sensation across the country! Even Tang Wenjuan, a reporter accompanying the Central Daily stationed in the 500th Army, was promoted, and the Central Daily promoted Tang reporter to deputy director of the news and reporting department, and his salary was raised by two levels! As long as they are involved with the 500 army, they will all benefit.

This time, Gao Quan held another meeting, and those present here became three divisions and one brigade, and the 500 Army officially entered the ranks of the first division. In addition to these honorary awards, the commission also awarded 100,000 silver dollars and a number of weapons from the United States to aid China.

Of course, with regard to these imported advanced weapons, the Commission still has reservations. After all, the chairman of the NPC National Committee has been in politics for many years, and he will not be dizzy with excitement at a happy event. There is still a gap between the quantity and quality of these advanced weapons given to the 500 Army and those descendants of the Central Army. However, even if this is the case, this is enough for most of the army generals in the country to envy and hate.

Liu Ruming, the greatest contributor to this incident, said in his congratulatory letter to Gao Quan: The supplies that my entire Second Army has received to aid China are only a few jeeps, and this time the central authorities have issued those American-made artillery and submachine guns to the 500th Army.

Drinking, eating, giving gifts, everything is easy to say, and when it comes to weapons, Gao Quan immediately becomes a miser. In the end, he was embarrassed, and reluctantly pinched his nose and gave Liu Ruming two guns and dozens of Thompson submachine guns. Chief Liu is not a narrow-minded person, and in the end, he exaggerated Gao Quan's friendship and old feelings when he met people, which made Gao Quan feel a little ashamed of his old friend.

The government rewarded silver dollars with guns and cannons, and the Tongbai Mountains were also rich in products, so it was said that Gao Quan should take his 500 troops to recuperate in the Tongbai Mountains and train and strengthen the army. The training has not stopped, but the living conditions of the 500 troops are not as rich as imagined.

In addition to the paradise of Tongbai, the entire Central Plains region has generally suffered from natural and man-made disasters, the fields have been harvested, and the people have no food and clothing. In the past, poor peasants who valued land more than their lives had no choice but to leave their hometowns, and those who went north and south, east and west retreated to distant foreign lands to seek survival. The Tongbai mountain area is much closer than Kanto and Kouwai. There is no near or far, people's thoughts are actually the same, there is a Tongbai Mountain that can survive nearby, who wants to run so far?

Gao Quan governed the Tongbai Mountains quite richly, but at the same time, he also brought a burden to the mountainous areas. Countless people continue to move into the mountains, and although the increase in the number of people can bring prosperity to the mountainous areas, it also increases the bearing capacity of the mountainous areas. The fields in the mountains are certainly not as fertile as those on the plains, and with so many people, it is a big problem to keep everyone fed, if nothing else. At the beginning, there were not so many people, so it was okay to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and to engage in some mountain breeding and specialty planting. As the population grows, these practices become a bit of a stretch.

Gao Quan can't drive people out who don't have anything to eat, and he can't do this kind of thing. Faced with the increasing population year by year, Commander Gao had to find another way. Send people out of the mountains to find a source of wealth! At the beginning, it must have been a reconnaissance group, and the scouts were clever and flexible.

On this day, Gao Quan was in the courtyard admiring Director Hong's martial arts practice, and Shi Lei, the head of the reconnaissance regiment, suddenly came to him.
