Xiao Lamei's sudden appearance made Bai Shujie a little unable to react: "Huang Qiaoyun came out, you ran out again, what should the Front Army Command and the Garrison Command do, ah?" ”

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Lamei circled around Bai Shujie like a monster: "Huang Qiaoyun returned to Chengde overnight last night?" How else would I have come? Not only did I come, but Xinlan also came, and I also brought two companies."

At this time, Zhao Jinxi happened to come in, so he said: "If you want to go far away, according to the regulations of the Internal Security Bureau, you need to apply for approval." Lamei and Xinlan performed very well last time they went out with you, so Qin Yuefang decided that the two of them should go out with you. It carried two 92 infantry guns, two Type 92 twin anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, and six mortars. The two reinforced companies have a total of 585 people, and the general scene should be able to cope with it. ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Jinxi came in with a set of military uniforms and said, "Big brother, I've entered the customs, and I need to change my military uniform." The Rehe Front is not suitable, so I asked Lamei to bring you the military uniform of the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment. ”

"Haha, it's still a thoughtful girl!" Bai Shujie accepted Zhao Jinxi's service and enjoyed the noble treatment of "clothes to reach out", and then said: "When I think of Bai Shu's fame, it was this Youyan anti-Japanese detachment." ”

After breakfast, Bai Shujie, accompanied by Zhao Jinxi, went outside the temporary headquarters, and the special service detachment of more than 500 people was ready to go.

Seeing Bai Shujie walking out of the headquarters, a war horse rushed out of the team and came to the front and shouted: "Report to the detachment leader, by the order of the front army headquarters, the special service detachment of the guard battalion has been assembled, please instruct!" ”

Bai Shujie was a little surprised: "Zhong Guitang, aren't you in the first division, how did you come here?" ”

This Zhong Guitang was still one of the seven platoon commanders when Daqingshan was first expanded, and it was the third platoon commander of the machine gun company. Because of his calm personality, Zhang Xiang always asked him to protect his own headquarters. Therefore, although this Zhong Guitang is very old, he has always been Zhang Xiang's guard company commander! The deputy company commander is Geng Fengbiao, who has just been killed by bandits!

Hearing Bai Shujie's question, Zhong Guitang's voice was low: "Report to the detachment leader, Division Commander Zhang heard that Geng Fengbiao's brothers died in battle, and he didn't sleep all night, sitting alone on the hillside and smoking dry cigarettes until dawn. Because Tan Mingliang was most familiar with the defensive deployment of the summer resort, he heard that the detachment leader lacked a charging guard, so he asked me to come over! ”

After listening to Zhong Guitang's words, Bai Shujie felt very uncomfortable. Sending Geng Fengbiao over reflects Big Brother's care for him. Now that Geng Fengbiao has sacrificed, Big Brother has sent his most beloved guard company commander over, and this friendship can't be said for three days and three nights!

Geng Fengbiao sacrificed, and the pain in Zhang Xiang's heart can be imagined. These brothers were the first to work together, and everyone else came from behind, Shi Liancheng and they were already deputy division commanders, but Geng Fengbiao died in the position of deputy company commander!

Thinking of this, Bai Shujie already understood what Zhang Xiang meant, so he said to the entire special service detachment: "Our mission is very special, so the formation of this small unit is correspondingly special. I now appoint Zhong Guitang as the commander of the special service detachment at the battalion level, and the two company commanders as deputy detachment leaders. The original deputy company commander took over the post of company commander, and other positions remained unchanged for the time being. Now, the detachment leader will report to me on the situation of the entire detachment. ”

Zhong Guitang didn't expect that as soon as he came over, he was promoted two levels in a row, and he went directly from company commander to battalion commander. Although Bai Shujie's troops have never engaged in seniority, there is no soldier who does not want to be a general! If it weren't for the two benchmarks of Huang Qiaoyun and Xiao Lamei, I'm afraid that many people would start to make trouble!

Why, Shi Liancheng, Cui San'er, and Chen Jie, the deputy squad leaders who are with Huang Qiaoyun, are now all deputy division commanders. Only Huang Qiaoyun and Xiao Lamei are still a small battalion commander. Therefore, as long as someone makes an awkward fuss, people will say: "Look at Huang Qiaoyun, what else can you say?" ”

Therefore, in the entire Rehe Front Army, the most popular position is the battalion commander of the army! Because many deputy division commanders were directly pulled up from the position of battalion commander!

Of course, this is inseparable from Bai Shujie's paternalistic management model.

This army does not belong to any party, Bai Shujie does not want to compete for the world, and he has no intention of making a party. Because in his heart, most of the people in this army have the surname "Gong"! It's just that the Central Red Army is now in internal and external difficulties, and leftism is the time for arrogance, so Bai Shujie doesn't dare to make a mistake.

Because of this, Bai Shujie's first condition for promoting generals is absolute loyalty; The second condition is that no matter what the situation, fighting the little devil comes first; The third is one's command ability and actual combat exploits.

Is it fair? It's not fair!

No matter what country, no matter what dynasty, no matter when and where, fairness is always relative, and unfairness is absolute! In line with this, freedom is always relative, and unfreedom is absolute!

As soon as Zhong Guitang and the two deputy detachment leaders who had just been promoted met, they had basically grasped the general situation, so they quickly reported to Bai Shujie: "Report to the detachment leader: The two companies are four combat platoons, with a total of 560 people, a cooking squad of 20 people, plus three detachments and two company commanders, a total of 585 people. ”

"Each company has an artillery platoon under its jurisdiction, equipped with one Type 92 infantry gun and three mortars. Two machine gun platoons were armed with one twin anti-aircraft heavy machine gun and 12 Czech light machine guns, for a total of 24 units. A reconnaissance platoon, armed with 8 Czech light machine guns. The cooking squad had two Czech light machine guns, and the rest of the support staff were 20-round shell guns. All weapons are to carry two bases of ammunition. Debriefing is complete. ”

Bai Shujie nodded: "It's half past nine in the morning, and the target is Kuancheng." The order will arrive at half past eleven tonight, and at four o'clock tomorrow morning, take down the Great Wall of Xifengkou guarded by the little devils, and then go straight to Tangshan! The first company set out, followed by the second company. ”

Zhao Jinxi has been sent out for more than 30 miles, and in Bai Shujie's repeated urging, he was reluctant to wave goodbye.

It wasn't until he got to the road that Bai Shujie matched the names of several officers. This can't be blamed on Bai Shujie, when the guard battalion was formed, these people were all arrested by Xiao Lamei who ran to various divisions. Shortly thereafter, Bai Shujie led the task force out. After returning, he began to prepare non-stop, and he did not have time to contact his own guard battalion at all.

Captain: Zhong Guitang, Deputy Captain: Chang Bikuan, Zhao Qinglin; First Company Commander: Xie Chongguang, Second Company Commander: Zhu Dagui.

These people are all battle heroes who have gone through two battles to defend Fuxin and capture Chifeng, and then emerged in the three field divisions. The worst of these people were all company commanders, but after being caught by Xiao Lamei, they were all demoted. Now it's just the reinstatement of the officials, so they are all very calm!

Although they crossed mountains and mountains along the way, the team did not suffer much. Because they all passed through the defense area of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Division of Lan Caiqin's department, they successively passed through Wanghaimiao Fortress, Anziling Fortress, and Kangyu Fortress. Lunch was eaten at the Wanghai Temple Fortress, where the third battalion of the 12th Regiment was stationed, and the deputy commander Wu Tianjie was sitting here.

Arrived in Kuancheng at ten o'clock in the evening, the head of the regiment, Tao Chengzhou, was also born in the juvenile special class, which was the descendant of Bai Shujie's lineage. He had already received Wu Tianjie's telegram, so he naturally waited for a long time.

While eating, Bai Shujie asked, "Cheng Zhou, how is the situation at Xifengkou in the southwest?" ”

Tao Chengzhou nodded and said, "Report to the detachment leader: We have been paying attention to this frontal enemy. Because when I launched a full-front counterattack, I personally led the team to take Qingshan Pass, just to occupy the commanding heights in the east and confront Panjiakou in the west, so as to cut off the connection between it and Xifengkou in the south. At the same time, I arranged for the second battalion to hold the Beizhuzi Fortress, stuck the upper reaches of the Luan River, and blocked the northward passage of the little devils to attack Chengde along the Luan River. ”

"Panjiakou and Xifengkou are actually a fortress that controls the Great Wall for more than ten miles from north to south. There is a team of little devils guarding it, and if you want to take Xifengkou, you must take Panjiakou upstream. What is more troublesome is that there are four enemy towers on the Great Wall of the Xifengkou and Panjiakou fortresses, all of which have one Type 92 heavy machine gun and four crooked light machine guns. ”

"At the beginning of this year, after I took Qingshan Pass, I wanted to take Xifengkou by the way. As a result, the assault was unsuccessful twice, and more than forty brothers were lost. That's really a one-man affair, and you can't open it. If you attack strongly, it will be more difficult. Of course, if you bombard it directly with the cannon you just sent, it will be very simple. ”

To be honest, even Bai Shujie, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has never seen with his own eyes what the world-famous Xifengkou Great Wall looks like. However, three years ago, Brigade Commander Zhao Dengyu and the 29th Army used inferior weapons to kill more than 3,000 arrogant little devils here (at that time, in order to inspire the Chinese people, it was claimed that 6,000 people were annihilated to the outside world), which shows that this place is absolutely 100% "easy to defend and difficult to attack"!

"No, once we bombard the Great Wall with artillery, we will definitely have another bloody battle on both sides. We have just received a batch of heavy weapons, and we have not yet formed combat effectiveness. Besides, the permanent fortifications have not yet been perfected, and now is not the time for a full-scale war with the little devils. So, a strong attack will definitely not work. ”

Bai Shujie rejected the plan of the attack, and then took out the map and meditated, but he was at a loss.

If you want to say that the pass of Xifengkou will never be seen by the descendants of China in the future! Because a "Panjiakou Reservoir" was flooded, it has now become an "underwater Great Wall"! Before the reservoir was built, the fish and shrimp jumped here, the rice flowers on both sides of the bank were fragrant, the forest was lush, the scenery was beautiful, and it could be called the "small Jiangnan" of the north of the Saibei.

The four enemy towers on the Great Wall mentioned by Tao Chengzhou are actually "Xifengkou Fortress", "Taipingzhai Fortress", and "Panjiakou Great Wall" (there is an enemy tower on each of the hills on the east and west sides of the Luan River, cutting off the connection between Chengde and Tangshan)!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
