After carefully looking at Gao Hongming, he was wearing a tailored German Type 36 Army uniform, a Type 35 steel helmet, a pair of long riding boots and a tall and straight figure. He was indeed a talented person.
He nodded with satisfaction, "Captain Gao, I have been famous for your name for a long time. Today I finally saw a real person, if you are a young hero. Come on... let me introduce to you some of our Eighth Route Army members.
An official.
This is Commander Lin from the 115th Division, this is Commander He from the 120th Division, this is Commander Liu from the 129th Division, and Political Commissar Heping, this is..."
Listening to the deputy commander-in-chief's introduction one by one, Gao Hongming's heart began to beat violently uncontrollably. Each of these people will be famous in history. He didn't expect that he could see so many at once today.
Seeing that Gao Hongming was a little dazed for a moment, Commander Liu of the 129th Division took the lead and laughed: "What's wrong, Commander Gao, we are not three-headed, six-armed, green-faced people with tusks, so why aren't we talking?"
Only then did Gao Hongming come back to his senses, his old face blushed slightly, and he saluted: "Mr. Liu is so funny. I have admired all of you for a long time. Now when I see you at first glance, I can't help but feel a little excited. I'm sorry.
I hope all seniors will not be surprised."
Mr. He on the side said with a smile: "It doesn't matter...you can take your time to watch if you want to, but for now we'd better go inside and have a seat and drink a cup of hot tea, lest others say that our Eighth Route Army doesn't know how to treat guests.
"
"Mr. He is right... If you have anything to say, let's talk inside." The deputy commander waved his hand and walked in first.
Everyone entered the gate together, walked through a courtyard and came to a big house.
The room was quite simply decorated, with nothing else but a long table and a few teacups in the middle, a large map hanging on the wall and more than a dozen chairs placed around it.
At this time, a staff officer brought a dustpan and put it on the table. The deputy commander smiled and said to Gao Hongming: "Come on... try the red dates and peanuts given by the aunt next to you. We in the Eighth Route Army are all suffering, haha.
We don’t have anything good to entertain you, Commander Gao, please don’t call us stingy.”
Gao Hongming smiled and waved his hand: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you are so polite. It is the most rare thing that your army can maintain an optimistic attitude and the spirit of hard work, simplicity and hard work under such difficult conditions. Only with this kind of
The army of the spirit is invincible.”
"well said!"
The eyes of the surrounding leaders flashed with excitement after hearing this. Master Liu smiled and said to Political Commissar Ping on the side: "Listen, there are many people who are good at talking. They are much better than that big boss Li Yunlong. We should really let him
Come and study hard, kid."
Political Commissar Ping smiled and nodded, then turned to Gao Hongming and said: "Captain Gao, from the tone of your voice, you seem to know our Eighth Route Army very well. Can you just talk to us? Just treat it as a casual chat."
"I can't say I understand him, I just know a little bit."
How dare Gao Hongming talk about these theoretical things in front of these big guys? Isn't this a big show in front of Guan Gong? He shook his head like a rattle and said quickly: "Sir, I am here to assist you in the battle.
If there is any task you need me to complete, please feel free to give me an order."
The deputy commander waved his hand: "There is no rush about the mission. I heard that you gave us a large amount of medicine this time. When I saw the telegram from the left deputy chief of staff, I almost couldn't believe it. I want to
Thank you on behalf of our Eighth Route Army."
Gao Hongming smiled slightly and shook his head, "Sir, first of all, I have to emphasize that this batch of medicines was sold to you, and you paid for it, so you don't have to thank me. This is like me going to the street to eat breakfast and drink
After eating a bowl of soy milk and two steamed buns, do you think I have to thank the breakfast guy every day?"
"Hahaha……"
All the leaders laughed. Of course they knew that the reason why Gao Hongming said this was because he didn't want the World War II area to get any clues. After all, these drugs were too sensitive, and his hometown was in Liantai County, so he had to pay more attention to the impact.
.
Furthermore, he repeatedly emphasized that what the two parties were doing was a transaction, and he just told them that these medicines were not given to you, so you should not have any psychological burden.
Thinking of this, several leaders nodded secretly in their hearts. This young man was not only generous, but also kind. He was a person with whom we could have close friendships.
"correct!"
Gao Hongming suddenly slapped his head, "Sir, I brought some small gifts for you this time, and I hope the commander will accept them. Please send someone outside to tell my guard battalion commander and ask him to deliver the things.
Come in."
"Oh...you also gave us a gift?"
The deputy commander-in-chief and the others laughed. They had long heard that Gao Hongming was generous in his actions. Sure enough, it was better to meet in person than to be famous.
Soon, Dabao came in with more than a dozen soldiers from the guard camp carrying seven or eight boxes.
Mr. He, who has the most generous personality, smiled and said: "Captain Gao, what gift are you giving us?"
"It's nothing. I just prepared twenty cartons of cigarettes, twenty kilograms of brown sugar, twenty cans of coffee, twenty cans of tea and fifty cans of canned meat for each of the officers. They are not valuable things. They are purely for
This is for you, sirs, to relieve fatigue and supplement nutrition when you are tired."
"You also said that this is not a valuable thing. I can't even buy these things with ten years of subsidies." Mr. He laughed loudly and took out the pipe from his waist and was about to smoke. Gao Hongming saw this and quickly took it out of his pocket.
He took out the cigarette and handed it over.
"Sir, whip me."
Mr. He was not polite, took out a cigarette and lit it: "Okay...I'll also open the meat. I heard these are American products."
"Come on, come on... several officers are smoking." Gao Hongming handed out cigarettes one after another. Except for Mr. Lin, who did not smoke, no one else present was a heavy smoker. The whole conference room was filled with smoke and smoke for a while, and even more
This made Mr. Lin, who had never smoked, cough continuously. Upon seeing this, the staff officer on the side quickly opened all the windows for ventilation, and the air became much fresher.
After taking a few puffs of cigarette, the deputy commander asked Gao Hongming, "Commander Gao, not long ago we received a telegram from the World War II District Chief's Department, saying that you severely damaged the Japanese 41st Division at Qixia Pass, and you are still sending telegrams.
You have been rewarded by the power supply. Can you tell us what is going on?"
Hearing this, several leaders who were smoking also looked over. In fact, they were also curious about what was going on in the battle at Qixiaguan that allowed Yan Laoxi to boast so much.
"sure."
Gao Hongming thought for a while and then slowly told the ins and outs of the battle at Qixiaguan. However, the leaders present became more and more frightened. Before he could finish listening, the deputy commander interrupted him, "You are
You said that in this battle, you destroyed tens of thousands of Japanese troops?"
"According to our statistics, this is indeed the case."
Gao Hongming nodded, and he immediately saw the looks in the heads' eyes and knew that the other leaders definitely did not believe what he said, "Sirs, I know that my words are empty, and you must have doubts about my words.
Well, during the battle at Qixiaguan a few days ago, I happened to use a movie camera to film part of the battle scene, and I just wanted to show it to you guys."
"You also used a movie camera to film the battle scene?" Several leaders were even more surprised. This guy actually had the time to film the scene while fighting?
"Yes."
Gao Hongming said with some embarrassment: "That's what I thought. After all, being a soldier and fighting is just a job of keeping your head in your belt. You may be gone at some point."
Film the scenes of the war, and when the Japanese are driven out of China in the future, and the liberated people all over the country can live a good life, we can show these movies to our descendants to let them know how hard-won a peaceful life is.
, and let the younger generations understand how the revolutionary martyrs shed blood and sacrifice, and remind them not to forget this shameful history!"
After Gao Hongming finished speaking, everyone in the conference room fell silent. The leaders all fell into memories, and scenes from the past emerged in their minds.
After a long time, the deputy commander-in-chief was the first to come to his senses, "Captain Gao is right. As the saying goes, a teacher who never forgets the past must remember the past. We do have the responsibility and obligation to tell future generations that we must remember this humiliating history."
.”
In fact, the reason why Gao Hongming responded by using a movie camera to film the Battle of Qixiaguan was, as mentioned just now, to leave a piece of precious historical information to future generations and to warn future generations not to forget this period of history.
Lest there be another incident where a shameless woman openly wears a Japanese kimono and parades through the market on a day when the whole country mourns the death of our compatriots. It is clearly a national public memorial day.
Another one, Qin Xiulian, isn't she pregnant? Gao Hongming thought that when he gets old, he would like to brag to his grandchildren, saying how your grandfather and I defeated Little Japan.
What... you don't believe it?
There is no proof for what I say. Grandpa, I took pictures of the battle scenes back then. You can see for yourselves.
This can be regarded as a small personal thought of Gao Hongming.
"Come on, come on... show the battle scene you filmed and let us open our eyes too!"
Upon hearing that Gao Hongming actually filmed the Battle of Qixiaguan, all the leaders became interested, and even the taciturn Commander Lin who came first began to urge him.
Gao Hongming naturally followed the good advice, and soon Dabao and a group of guards moved in the curtains, speakers, and projectors, and installed the gasoline generator outside. With the roar of the generator, the curtain hanging on the wall began to light up.
stand up.
There are very few entertainment projects these days. When I heard that the headquarters agency was going to show a movie, the staff officers of the headquarters agency ran to the conference room one after another. The deputy commander-in-chief and the heads did not stop them after they noticed it. In their opinion, the staff officers should have a long experience.
It's also good.
So word spread, and soon the huge conference room was filled with people, and finally it couldn't be squeezed anymore. Upon seeing this, the deputy commander-in-chief discussed with Gao Hongming and decided to move the screen to the large open-air courtyard at the back.
Now, the whole courtyard was full of people. Gao Hongming did a rough count and found that there must be at least several hundred people.
After tinkering for a long time, the movie was finally shown. First, a voice and a line of explanation appeared, telling the cause, time, and situation of both the enemy and ourselves of the battle. Then Gao Hongming and the officers of the militia appeared.
, and their titles and names were thoughtfully typed on the screen.
But the leaders were sensitive to the fact that the names of many people above had been framed, and it was obvious that these people had died in the battle.
Immediately, a narration voice came on the screen and said: "This is the first line of defense at Qixia Pass. The fourth battalion of the Liantai Militia is stationed here. The one attacking them now is the 67th Regiment of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army. This
This is the third attack launched by the 67th Regiment today."
Along with the voice of the commentary, individual figures can be seen on the screen charging towards the fourth battalion position from all directions. The Japanese army attacked in small groups. Their attack speed was very fast. The soldiers continued to use terrain cover to quickly attack.
Approaching the fourth battalion position.
Not only that, along with the Japanese attack, artillery shells continued to fall on the position, and for a time the four battalion positions were filled with smoke and dust.
Seeing this, the leaders' expressions became serious. They were all soldiers who had been fighting for half their lives. Of course, they could see how fierce the Japanese attack was. Under the cover of artillery fire, they could move forward as quickly as possible.
, and then launch an attack.
Not only that, the Japanese grenadiers also continuously used the terrain cover to launch grenade launchers at the defenders' positions to form a cross-fire cover from both near and far.
Many commanders frowned. Although they had been dealing with the Japanese army for more than a day or two, the battles between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in the past were mostly small-scale battles. Like this, a division was assembled and a regiment was formed.
This is the first time I have seen an attack on a unit.
It now appears that the Japanese army's ability to conduct group operations is indeed well-deserved.
But their doubts also arose. How did Gao Hongming's militia resist the attack of a Japanese division and claimed to have inflicted heavy losses on them?
The subsequent counterattack by the vigilante groups was an eye-opener for them.
Along with the charge of the Japanese army, the counterattack of the militia began. Soon there was a roar in the sky, and large-caliber heavy artillery fell in front of the fourth battalion's position.
Although the staff officers of the headquarters agency and the personnel of various departments are also veterans, this is the first time they have seen such a scene of heavy artillery firing, and many people exclaimed.
Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the front of the fourth battalion's position was all covered by heavy artillery. The area covered by a heavy artillery explosion was at least tens of meters. In their view, if people within the explosion range are not protected, the chance of survival is basically zero.
.
Commander Lin, who had been silent all this time, also said solemnly to Commander Liu beside him: "If the Liantai militia can maintain this scale of bombardment, it can indeed withstand the Japanese charge."
Commander Liu nodded slowly and said, "Don't forget, the Japanese planes haven't been dispatched yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Japanese figures began to appear on the screen...
