Dabao remained silent when he came back, his thick eyebrows wrinkled from time to time, so that his originally honest face took on a hint of solemnity.
Gao Hongming couldn't help but smile after seeing his expression: "Dabao, why do you look like this? It's because you're in love with spring. Don't worry... I'll tell Aunt Liu in the kitchen today and ask her to introduce my niece to you."
"Master... you can't harm me." Dabao became anxious upon hearing this, "It's not like you haven't seen Aunt Liu's niece before. If you really marry her, my life will be ruined."
"fart!"
Gao Hongming laughed and scolded: "Aunt Liu's niece is honest and upright. She matches you very well in body and appearance. How could she ruin your life?"
"Master, you can't do this." Dabao was so anxious that he almost cried, "If you really want to do this, I will go find the young mistress to make the decision for me."
Seeing how anxious Dabao was, Gao Hongming couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, what were you thinking about just now?"
Hearing that his young master no longer used Aunt Liu's niece to scare him, Dabao breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some confusion: "Young master, you said that those little devils all put up a posture of dying together when they fought with us.
, but how come it changed so quickly once you surrendered? Why did you beat your own people so hard?"
Gao Hongming was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and after a while he said: "Have you ever heard of the Law of Betrayer?"
Without waiting for Dabao's answer, he added: "That is, traitors are often more hateful than enemies."
After speaking, he glanced at Dabao and said, "No matter which country or nation you are from...traitors and rebels are hated more intensely than open enemies. For example, if there were traitors in our militia, would you hate them more?"
This traitor?"
"That's natural." Dabao said without hesitation: "If I meet such a person, I will definitely shoot his head off."
"Isn't this the end?"
Gao Hongming said leisurely: "Once betrayers choose to betray, in order to gain recognition from the new organization, they will show a stronger desire to express themselves than their original enemies. Such people will also use any means to achieve their goals.
Take Heihachi Ihara and Yoji Uehara as examples. After they defected to us, there was no turning back for them. For them, the only thing that would be good for them is Japan's defeat, the collapse of the Japanese government, and even the deprivation of life for all the people in Japan. In this way, they
Only then can they obtain a perverted balancing pole and prove that their choice is correct, do you understand?"
Dabao scratched his head and said, "I still don't quite understand, but I think what you said makes sense, young master."
Gao Hongming burst into laughter and looked at the sky in the distance. He couldn't help but think of the Japanese general who died in February this year.
A generation of anti-Japanese national hero, General ***, during his stay in the Northeast, he led his troops to be active in the vast white forests and snowfields of the Northeast. He used his troops like a god and appeared and disappeared, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese, but there was nothing that could be done against him.
But in the end, General *** died in the battle, for no other reason than because of the traitor's betrayal.
There were many people who betrayed him, including his most trusted assistant, Cheng Fu, the former commander of the first division of the Northeast Anti-Alliance Army, his guard platoon leader Zhang Xiufeng, the pseudo-platoon leader Zhao Tingxi, and members of the anti-alliance team.
Machine gunner Zhang Xiruo.
It can be said that the betrayal of these four traitors directly led to the sacrifice of General ***. However, in Gao Hongming's view, the most hateful of the four traitors was Zhang Xiufeng, the guard platoon leader.
This guard platoon had been raised by General *** since he was 15 years old. When he grew up, he was entrusted with important tasks and handed over all confidential documents, 4 large and small guns, and all funds for the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, a total of 9,000 oceans, to his guard platoon.
The captain actually took refuge with the Japanese when the Japanese were in danger and personally led people to hunt down the Japanese until he died.
Gao Hongming still can't figure out why there are people in this world who are worse than animals, and who vividly interpret the four words "repaying kindness with hatred".
Gao Hongming has always been puzzled as to why he was transported to this world. If you want to travel, just travel. God just gave you a golden finger.
Is this because God has seen that the Chinese nation is suffering too much and wants to lend its own hand to do some small thing to help this troubled nation?
It’s just that maybe God doesn’t know that even though Goldfinger is awesome, it’s not omnipotent. There is a river crab master above me who is always watching. If there is any derailment, what awaits me will be the end of 404 at any time.
Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Just try your best. Gao Hongming walked towards the regiment headquarters while thinking about his thoughts.
After these days of recruitment, all the missing personnel in the army have been replenished, and we are now seizing the time to conduct training.
It's just that the Hundred Regiment War is now in full swing, and I don't have much time to train slowly. I can only use the most brutal method to let these new recruits master the knowledge to save their lives on the battlefield.
When he walked to the training ground, he saw bursts of gunfire coming from the direction of the shooting range. Groups of recruits were being driven by instructors and officers, and crawling under the barbed wire with difficulty under the fire of machine guns above their heads.
Under the barbed wire fence, there was still the same cries of ghosts and wolves as before. Feeling the bullets raging above their heads, some of the recruits cried loudly, some closed their eyes and did not dare to move no matter how much their comrades around them urged them, and some were even so scared that they peed like urine.
There is no shortage of people.
However, such scenes have long been commonplace for Gao Hongming and the surrounding veterans. After all, they came here in this way at the beginning. They have seen people who are more outrageous than these. Now this scene can only be said to be rainy.
.
Suddenly, a scream rang out in front, and the raging gunfire stopped immediately. Then a group of people rushed over. It turned out that a recruit who was frightened and insane suddenly jumped up and was immediately hit by a flying bullet.
He was hit in the thigh and immediately screamed and fell to the ground bleeding profusely.
Two nurses who had been waiting aside for a long time ran over quickly with medicine boxes. After a brief inspection, they immediately took out a bandage and bandaged his thigh, then put it on a stretcher and sent it to the hospital behind.
After everyone left, the instructor's roar rang out as usual on the training ground, and a few minutes later the gunfire rang out again.
Gao Hongming arrived near the training ground and saw Feng Fugui, the commander of the supplementary battalion, lecturing a group of recruits, "You all saw that the idiot just now paid the price for his stupidity. Do you want to be like him?
I tell you the truth, the real battlefield is ten times and a hundred times crueler than this one. If you can't even hold on to this small scene, I advise you to take off your military uniform and go home as soon as possible!"
Even though Feng Fugui is short and fat, he is an expert in military training. He was originally the deputy director of the Recruit Training Department of the Shanxi-Sui Army, but Gao Hongming hired him with a lot of money. Nearly half of the recruits in the Liantai Militia were recruited.
All of them have been under his hands.
The recruits trained by him are very good in terms of discipline and obedience, which is why Gao Hongming can safely leave the recruitment and training of new recruits to him.
When Feng Fugui finished his lecture, he saw Gao Hongming watching him from the side and hurried over.
"Tuanzuo, you are here."
"Well... let me come over to see how the training of these new recruits is going?"
"Tuan Zuo, the time you gave us is too short. It's really too late." Feng Fugui turned away from his previous seriousness and cried out in pain, "We really want these people to go to the battlefield. If they can come back half of them, they will be burned."
.”
"There is nothing we can do about this." Gao Hongming was also very helpless, "The battle at Qixiaguan was fought so hard a few days ago. The number of casualties in our militia reached four cities, and now there are more than 700 people lying in the hospital.
The Eighth Route Army is currently fighting fiercely with the Japanese around the Zhengtai Railway and is in urgent need of support. Just yesterday, Chief Yan sent another telegram, hoping that we can go over this morning for reinforcements. Aren't I anxious?"
"Team!" Feng Fugui said angrily: "It's not that the department doesn't respect Chief Yan, but that Chief Yan has gone too far this time. We just fought such a big battle with the Japanese. Logically speaking, we should take at least three days of rest.
Five months, but now it’s less than ten days, and he’s urging us to support the Eighth Route Army. Is there anyone who can order people so hard?”
Gao Hongming also felt the same way about Feng Fugui's complaints. Yan Laoxi really treated him like a donkey. Fortunately, Yan Laoxi's tone in the telegram was quite gentle. He did not use too harsh a tone and just told him to end it as soon as possible.
Rest and recuperate, rush to support the Eighth Route Army's offensive, and let him do what he can later.
Judging from this, Yan Laoxi had no intention of using him to death.
"Alas... the first level of officialdom is overwhelming."
Gao Hongming shook his head helplessly. He was a first-level general and the commander of the World War II zone. In theory, all the armed forces in the World War II zone were under his control. It was not wrong for him to arrange himself this way. He was just a little unhappy.
However, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to get involved in a battle like the Hundred Regiments War anyway. As a promising young man who grew up under the red flag, he could not miss this important event whether it was public or private.
Battles that left great names in the history of China.
We must know that this battle was also the first large-scale army-level battle conducted by the Eighth Route Army since its establishment. It achieved a major victory when the Chinese War of Resistance was in difficulties and there was a strong atmosphere of compromise and surrender. It has great military and political significance.
It also suppressed a large number of Japanese troops in China. After the Taituan War, the Japanese had to transfer the 17th and 33rd Divisions from Central China to North China in early 1941, thus further reducing the pressure on the frontal battlefield in Central China.
At the same time, it was also the battle in which the Eighth Route Army participated in the largest number of troops, was the largest, lasted the longest, and had the richest results during the Anti-Japanese War.
I wonder how Gao Hongming could let go of such a significant battle.
"Lao Feng, don't say anything." Gao Hongming patted him on the shoulder, "I know you have worked hard during this period. After all, you have recruited thousands of recruits in such a short period of time, and you still have to train them.
, the pressure on you is naturally imaginable.
Let’s do this, in a few days I will report your praise to the whole group and reward you two hundred oceans, what do you think?”
Feng Fugui's old face turned red, and he said anxiously: "Young Master, this is not what the Ministry of Finance means. I just think that we..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything."
Gao Hongming stopped him and said, "I know you are doing it for the good of our militia, and I feel sorry for the brothers who have to go back to war soon after returning. But the Japanese devils have already arrived at our door. We can't be slaves to the subjugation of our country, right?"
At the most serious level, we say that we are doing it for the country, but at the most small level, we are doing it so that future generations can stand upright and live uprightly. If we don’t work hard, who can we expect to work hard?"
Feng Fugui lowered his head and said in shame: "Members of the group, it's because the staff has little knowledge. You are fighting bloody battles with the Japanese in the front, while the staff is just doing some chores in the back, and you actually uttered words of complaint. The staff is ashamed!"
"You don't need to belittle yourself, you have already done a good job in this position." Gao Hongming smiled, "Well, I will give you another ten days. I hope that by then you can train these rookies to a good look.
"
"Yes!" Feng Fugui solemnly saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"
When Gao Hongming decided on the time to dispatch troops, the entire militia began to run nervously like clockwork, allocating weapons and supplies, supplementary training of troop personnel, and the deployment of Liantai County city defense after the departure, etc., all of which
Gao Hongming was so busy that he couldn't stop like a top.
Qin Xiulian complained to him several times for this reason. Faced with his wife's nagging, what could Gao Hongming do, he could only make her happy with a smiling face and try his best to make her happy.
There is no way, the world is big, and the pregnant daughter-in-law is the biggest. After all, everyone knows that pregnant women are the most emotionally sensitive, and no one can offend her.
While Gao Hongming was busy dispatching troops, the first phase of the Hundred Regiment Battle was also in full swing.
Just as Gao Hongming expected, in the first phase of the offensive, facing the intensive offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the anxious Japanese army began to use their trump card... poison gas bombs.
In another time and space, facing the Japanese poison gas bombs, the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army had almost no choice but to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels to resist the Japanese poison gas attacks. As a result, more than 20,000 people were poisoned.
In this time and space, after receiving the emergency support of 50,000 gas masks from Gao Hongming, the Eighth Route Army's anti-virus capabilities have been greatly improved.
Although limited by the number of gas masks, it is impossible to provide one to all participating troops, but 50,000 gas masks can still basically cover the front-line troops participating in the war.
This also caused the number of poisonings among frontline troops to plummet. For this reason, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent someone to Liantai County with some gifts to express his gratitude to Gao Hongming.
On a dirt road more than ten miles away from Liantai County, more than ten men on horseback were walking on the road. The man in the lead had a Chinese character face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Although he was smiling,
He is full of meaning, but exudes a light temperament that is not angry and self-defeating.
