Yamazaki Fan did not go to the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, and Gao Dong ordered Tang Wei and others to follow Yamazaki Fan back to Shandong, and immediately formed an army of 60,000 people to launch an attack on the hinterland of the Japanese army from Shanxi.Shanxi has hoarded a large number of Japanese troops, and it is also the nest of the Japanese army for several years, and attacking there is tantamount to containing a large number of Japanese troops, which is conducive to Gao Dong leading the main force of the Independent Army to march to northern Shaanxi, and then detour to Yan'an, meet with the troops of the Yamazaki family, and jointly attack Shanxi.This is a plan that Gao Dong has planned all night, Shanxi and Shaanxi have a lot of resources, and occupying this place not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese, but also got a large amount of resource base.With Shaanxi and Shanxi, they will have a large base area, and in order to develop everything he needs, their strength will become stronger.He also deliberately sent masters like Duan Yi and Duan Er to accompany Tang Wei, if Yuichi Yamazaki and the others really had different intentions, they would make some small tricks in the middle.That's no way to say, kill on the spot, and show no mercy.Gao Dong will always remember that sentence, if it is not my race, its heart will be different.Especially the Yamazaki family, the Japanese who turn their faces when they say they turn their faces, they can even betray their own country, and it will not be uncommon for them to betray him Gaodong when the time comes.Therefore, everything must be prevented before it happens, otherwise it will be too late to regret it.Sent away Yamazaki Fan, Gao Dong is also ready to lead the troops to northern Shaanxi, the road ahead has been basically swept away, if there are still any devils blocking the road, it is only Zhengzhou, which is not far from Kaifeng, has gathered almost 10,000 devils and 10,000 puppet troops.However, after the first battle of Kaifeng, the devils in Zhengzhou have been shrinking in the city, as if they are afraid that the independent army will find them, so low-key that even the military flag has been withdrawn.The whole of Zhengzhou looked bare from a distance, and there was not a single obvious sign that it was occupied by the Japanese.Even the Japanese took the initiative to withdraw the defensive positions outside the city, and almost filled in the defensive positions, because they were afraid that the independent army would suddenly remember that there were still Japanese here when they passed by.However, although the devils are so low-key, they almost dig a hole in the city and inform the Independence Army that they are not harmful, they are toothless poisonous snakes.But Gao Dong didn't intend to let them go, not only was he not ready to let go of the devils in Zhengzhou, but all the places he passed through along the way must be quiet and quiet, and no devils would appear.Because this road is to provide him with backups, fuel for tanks, cars and self-propelled guns needs to be transported from this road.The soldiers' food, ammunition and a large number of logistical supplies had to be transported from this road.Gao Dong can't let half a devil appear on this road, if there is, then it must be eliminated.On the third day of Yamazaki Fan's departure, the troops outside Kaifeng gathered in Gaodong and had already arranged a combat mission, and Li Maolin's cavalry opened the way to capture Zhengzhou first, opening up a safe road for the army.Kaifeng City was handed over to two regiments of the New Fourth Army who rushed here, and they coordinated everything in the city.Everything was arranged, and the troops continued their advance towards northern Shaanxi at noon.Fang Kui's troops were in charge of the left flank, and Yang Fei's first division was in charge of the right flank.The whole army was like a sharp triangle, plunging straight into northern Shaanxi."
Captain, there are almost 10,000 devils in Zhengzhou, and there are more than 10,000 puppet troops stationed and they still have city defenses, if they fight a street battle, will they just send cavalry" Hu Xinghan said with some worry: "Do you want to let He Sheng's tank troops and self-propelled artillery troops rush to reinforce, and I will let the transport troops send two regiments of troops to follow."
Even if there is a street fight, it can be easily handled. ”Gao Dong also makes sense when he thinks about it, although Li Haolin's cavalry is almost invincible on the plain, it is easy to capture a city.But if the devils really engage in street fighting, the cavalry is really a bit difficult to deal with."
Then send" Gao Dong just wanted to speak, when suddenly several horses in the rear troops galloped quickly.Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan, who were sitting in the command car, looked out the window at the same time, and saw that Liu Guoquan and a few of his cronies and subordinates had already approached on horseback."
Isn't this Liu Guoquan, what's wrong, is there something wrong with the fire?"
Gao Dong asked with a smile.Liu Guoquan led the people to revolt in Kaifeng City, and was stabbed three times by the Japanese, sacrificing more than 3,000 subordinates.Gao Dong has a very good impression of this man who used to be a traitor, after all, no one has a fault, and the prodigal son will not change his money.What's more, in this turbulent era, it is already good for people to survive, and he believes that Liu Guoquan must have had his own hardships when he became a traitor.Because he has proved with his own blood that he is not a coward, a man like this, even if he has been a traitor, as long as he has not done anything bad that hurts nature and reason, he will always be worthy of respect.Liu Guoquan's body was still wrapped in thick bandages, especially in the neck, where he almost pierced the devil's bayonet.At this moment, blood was faintly oozing under the bandage on the horse, but his face remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel pain at all.Liu Guoquan's troops have been incorporated into the Independent Army by Gaodong, and it is a pity to let such a brave force go.However, their combat effectiveness is limited, and Gao Dong asked them to temporarily take charge of protecting the safety of the logistics troops, and they don't have to participate in formal battles, which can be regarded as their protection."
Deputy Commander" Liu Guoquan immediately saluted Gao Dong, and rode his horse and Gao Dong's command car side by side: "I heard that I am going to fight Zhengzhou, I ask for a battle." ”Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Your kid's intelligence is quite sensitive, but you are not needed in this battle, I have already sent the cavalry brigade to take the lead."
Tank troops and two regiments will be sent over to reinforce soon, Zhengzhou, which will be fought soon.Your injuries aren't healed yet, so go back and rest.Don't worry, there will be endless battles in the future, as long as the little devil is still in China for a day, you won't be idle, don't worry. ”Gao Dong was about to wave him away, but Liu Guoquan was anxious: "Deputy commander, I am wholeheartedly asking for a fight."
Hit Zhengzhou, if I go, it's easier" Hu Xinghan didn't care, but Gao Dong noticed that something was wrong.Looking at Liu Guoquan's expression, I found that his eyes were red, and he seemed to be desperate to go to the front line."
Okay, tell me, if there is any reason why you must go" Gao Dong asked directly to the point.Liu Guoquan's face immediately became happy, obviously he was a person who was not very good at disguise, and his joy and anger all changed on his face.In the army, such people are collectively referred to as straightforward, and Gao Dong also likes such people."
Deputy commander, before I became a puppet army, I was also a regiment commander in the country, and the army" Speaking of this, Liu Guoquan's face blushed unnaturally.He was very ashamed of this previous story, and regretted it every time he mentioned that he had been a puppet soldier."
I have three sworn brothers, not only participated in the Northern Expedition together, but also one of the alumni of the Baoding Military Academy, and now they are in Zhengzhou, and they are the commander of the 62nd Division of the Zhengzhou Puppet Army," Liu Guoquan said solemnly."
Oh" Gao Dong was also moved, stared at Liu Guoquan tightly and said: "Do you mean, are you going to persuade this sworn brother of yours to surrender?"
"Yes" Liu Guoquan said confidently: "As long as I go, he will definitely turn against him."
With their assistance, there is no need to send any reinforcements at all, and Brigade Commander Li's cavalry troops can take Zhengzhou" Gao Dong asked with a smile: "How can you be so sure that people's hearts will change, former friends, now, may not be the same as in the past" Liu Guoquan gritted his teeth and said: "He will definitely listen to me, because his brother, who is also our sworn brother, was killed by the Japanese" Gao Dong was really surprised at this time, and looked at Liu Guoquan in puzzlement.Liu Guoquan hurriedly explained: "The three of us are brothers, but our eldest brother is his own brother, and we surrendered to the Japanese together at that time, in order to save the lives of our brothers.But the eldest brother was discovered by the Japanese last year because of his private contact with the Chongqing government and government, and the Japanese ordered the whole family to be shot. ”"At that time, my brother was about to rebel, but before his death, the eldest brother told him not to be impulsive, and he must protect his brothers.The brothers were born and died to live until now, and the eldest brother can't bear to affect everyone because of him. ”"In this way, we watched the whole family of our eldest brother being shot by the devil, but we could only swallow our anger and be a useless seed.Fortunately, the Japanese also wanted to appease us and did not do anything to us.As long as I go on this trip, my brother will definitely take it as an internal response.The eldest brother's wish has always been to let us take all our brothers to be Chinese again, and we must not let future generations bear the stigma of traitors for us" Liu Guoquan said about the emotional place, and he was already in tears.Gao Dong was silent for a long time, many people in this era, he really didn't understand.They are still doing things with the thinking of the feudal era, but the loyalty in their bones can never be erased."
Okay, how many troops do you want" Gao Dong didn't hesitate anymore and shouted loudly."
I didn't need anyone, I took a few brothers and quietly sneaked into Zhengzhou.As long as you find my brother, the big thing will naturally succeed Deputy Commander, when you arrive in Zhengzhou, there will definitely be no more devils there," Liu Guoquan said with certainty."
Qiusheng, Li Zehui" Gao Dong suddenly stuck his head out of the window and yelled."
To" The two quickly jumped out of the car behind them and ran quickly in front of Gao Dong."
You bring a team to protect Liu Guoquan, remember, you must ensure their safety.If there is one hair missing, I will pick your skin when I turn around," Gao Dong ordered solemnly."
Guaranteed to complete the task," the two replied loudly."
Go, I'll wait for your good news" Gao Dong looked at Liu Guoquan and said solemnly."
Deputy Commander."
Liu Guoquan saluted Gao Dong excitedly: "I will definitely bring you back a team":
