Although everything was simple during the war, the distance from Nanyang was not close at all. No matter how strong Liu Ruming is, he is still a fifty-year-old man, and it is impossible for him to walk step by step like an ordinary soldier.

Since April of the 31st year of the Republic of China, when Sun Liren and his 113th Regiment successfully rescued the 1st Infantry Division and the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Army in Ren'anqiang, the New 1st Army of the National Revolutionary Army led by General Zheng Dongguo has won successive battles on the battlefield in Burma, and has continuously inflicted heavy losses on the elite 33rd Army of the Japanese army stationed in Burma. As a result, U.S. aid to China was able to be transported into China one after another by the China-Burma Highway. The millions of soldiers who fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders on the front line in our country have also gradually been supplemented with some advanced American-style weapons and equipment.

Although Liu Ruming's Second Group Army was not a descendant of the central government, it was a powerful armed force in the end, and the troops under his command did perform well in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Therefore, the Second Group Army also received a batch of equipment from the United States to aid China, for example, the jeep in which Liu Ruming was riding was made in the United States.

"Hello Commander-in-Chief Liu!" Gao Quan ran a few steps and stood up to salute, his voice was loud and crisp, and he was full of military demeanor.

"Hehe, I'm seeing you! You are in Tongbai, I am in Nanyang, and you have not come to see me for so long, have you forgotten my old brother? Liu Ruming saw that Gao Quan was very affectionate, and he didn't return the salute, and he shook Gao Quan's hand in the past.

"Commander-in-chief, you haven't been in Nanyang, and I can't find anyone if I want to go and see it." Gao Quan complained as if aggrieved.

"Hahaha, yes, I'm not in Nanyang, the chairman asked me to go to Chongqing Army University to study, of course you can't see me! It's my brain that is confused, hehe, when people are old, this memory is not as good as it was back then! ”

"The commander-in-chief is in the prime of life, how can there be anything that is not old? Now I still remember when I was in Luo Wenyu, Master Liu with a box gun in one hand and a big knife in the other! Your demeanor of fighting bravely on the battlefield is still fresh in Gao Quan's memory. Every time I think about it, I am amazed. ”

"Okay, okay, it's said that older people love to remember the past, why do you keep mentioning those old things when you're young? Let's go, please go to your headquarters for a cup of tea! Really, when I saw the chief coming, I didn't say that I would hurry up and invite me to tea and dinner, but he was pulling the nonsense in this wilderness! After walking all this way, the old bones in my body are about to fall apart. Liu Ruming was full of smiles, but his mouth was full of complaints.

"Yo, blame me, blame me, sir, don't be surprised, I see that the chief forgets everything when he is happy. Let's go, everyone, please come with me to the military headquarters to drink water and rest! Gao Quan pulled Liu Ruming and left, dozens of steps ahead of him was an armored car, how could he let Liu Ruming take a jeep again when he came to his own territory? Although armored cars are not necessarily much more comfortable than jeeps, they are also a way to welcome guests, and besides, this is a time of war, so armored cars are safer than jeeps, right?

"Wow, so you sit here every day? I said how can I always hear that your 500 army won the battle, it turns out that you, the army commander, are all in command of the troops in armored vehicles! "Of course, Liu Ruming can't have seen this kind of armored car, when he was the commander of the 68th Army, he led the troops but he didn't stop fighting with devils, and it was not reasonable to capture a few armored trucks? However, Liu Ruming obviously had never been in this kind of armored truck, and when he got into the car, he was curious to touch here and where, and asked Gao Quan, who asked about the performance of this car.

For this kind of armored truck, of course, Gao Quan knows everything, and this is not a high-tech thing, isn't it just to add an iron shell to the truck and set up a machine gun. "If the commander-in-chief likes it, just drive this car away when he leaves!" In this ambush battle, no less than 30 of these armored trucks were captured by the 500 army alone, so what is it to give Liu Ruming one to drive and play? Gao Quan didn't care about this at all.

"Haha, this is a lot of money! Wow, then you're welcome, I'll leave in this armored car when I leave! Seeing that Gao Quan didn't look like a fraud, Liu Ruming also took over this favor. There are many capable people who have gone out from his hands, but there are not many who are the commanders of an army like Gao Quan and still maintain a close relationship with him.

Speaking of which, when Gao Quan served under Liu Ruming, the relationship between the two was not very close. The main thing is that the level of the two is much worse. Liu Ruming just adhered to the nature of an old-school soldier to protect his shortcomings, and helped Gao Quan when he was in trouble. At the beginning, Gao Quan did not specifically express his allegiance to Liu Ruming, nor did Liu Ruming deliberately woo Gao Quan, and the two of them had a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates. The 500 Army is considered to be Liu Ruming's lineage, but it is not under his command, and the two are basically old friends.

"At the beginning of the battle between Henan and China, Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo were defeated in one battle. Although my Second Army does not fall under the jurisdiction of the First Theater, Nanyang, where my headquarters is located, is also in Henan. The Japanese are junglers, they don't care about the first and fifth war zones, they can fight wherever they want! It just so happened that I had also graduated from the Army University, and when I heard the news, I said hello to the chairman and flew back immediately! ”

In Gao Quan's impression, Liu Ruming is not a person with many words. But today, from the time we met until now, Commander-in-Chief Liu's mouth has never been idle, and Gao Quan can only echo it on the side. When he arrived at his headquarters, Liu Ruming was immediately attracted by the lively construction site in front of the headquarters, "What are so many people doing?" Digging so many pits, I think there is still something in the pits? That's, that's an ironclad car! Iyuki has dug up the ironclad car from the ground! ”

Liu Ruming's surprise is not trivial. "I only know that Sun Laodian has dug up a lot of gold and silver treasures from the Manchu Imperial Mausoleum, but I didn't expect you to be able to dig out the ironclad car from the ground!"

But then Commander-in-Chief Liu laughed, Rong Ma has fought for decades in half his life, what has he never seen? At first, I didn't expect it, but after saying two words and coming back to my senses, of course I guessed the reason. This is not as strange as a brain teaser, this kind of common-sense question, and it is also related to war, Liu Ruming's mind will of course understand what is going on with a slight turn of his mind.

"It turns out that this is a prisoner captured by Kaozhi! Look at what kind of brain I have? Liu Ruming patted his forehead lightly. I've never stopped moving. I heard about it as soon as I got back. You first had a very unpleasant quarrel with Mi Wenhe, and then led the army to suppress Wang Chuan's rebellion. ”

"But, Commander-in-Chief, it's not my fault with Commander Mi! It was Mi Wenhe who connived at his subordinates to oppress the people and bullied me! I don't care what he does out there, and I don't care. But if he wants to do anything within the scope of my Tongbai, Gao Quan just can't tolerate him! ”
