Seeing Gao Hongming's appearance of not taking any credit, Yang Aiyuan sighed inwardly, it would be great if the Jinsui Army could establish closer ties with the Liantai Militia.
Yang Aiyuan, 56, has been in the army for 28 years and has fought in hundreds of battles, large and small, but he has never fought a battle as heart-warming as the Battle of Taiyuan.
Heavy artillery bombardment, aircraft bombing, tanks leading the way as human shields, while the infantry followed the tanks and calmly killed the enemy.
The most important thing is that the ammunition can be opened and used, and you can replenish it as much as you hit the rear.
This kind of thing has always been exclusive to the Japanese. When will it be the turn of the Chinese army? But this time, with the participation of the Liantai Militia, this kind of thing that was never dreamed of actually happened.
In this Taiyuan battle, they wiped out more than 30,000 Japanese troops, while their own side suffered less than 10,000 casualties. This was an unprecedented event.
But he also understood that it would be difficult for such a good thing to happen again in the future.
With reluctance, Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu said goodbye to Gao Hongming.
Two days later, Commander Liu, Political Commissar Ping and others also proposed the trip to Gao Hongming. Gao Hongming did not hold back. Before leaving, he seized more than 16,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 600 light and heavy machine guns and more than 3 million
All the ammunition was handed over to them.
Halfway up a mountain, a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing gray military uniforms were heading deep into the mountain along the mountain path. Commander Liu stood on a stone and looked into the distance.
Due to the distance, Liantai County is only a small black dot to the naked eye.
Political Commissar Ping joked: "What's wrong with Lao Liu? Are you reluctant to let go?"
"You really let me talk about it."
Commander Liu said bluntly: "These days, we drink American coffee, smoke American cigarettes, eat American canned meat, and have enough ammunition tubes for war. If we encounter difficulties, we can call in artillery groups or even bomber groups to fire on the enemy at any time.
cover.
I have never encountered such a fight for wealth in eight lifetimes, how could I be willing to give it up?"
"Hahaha……"
Political Commissar Ping laughed and said, "Old Liu, don't envy Gao Hongming. He is a famous local rich man in Shanxi, and his family's gold and silver are almost piled up.
I have heard that just by cooperating with the Jinsui Army to sell penicillin, sulfonamides and other drugs, he can make tens of millions of dollars every year. We, the Eighth Route Army, are all a bunch of poor people, how can we compare with others."
"yes."
Commander Liu sighed with emotion: "I still say the same thing, it would be great if he could join our Eighth Route Army."
"You, don't even think about this kind of thing."
Political Commissar Ping shook his head with a complicated expression, "Although this little guy seems to be easy to talk to on weekdays, he has a very good idea. If he really wanted to join us, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo was still there two years ago.
He joined right away.
Besides, even if he joins us, it may not be a good thing for him."
"Okay... no more talking, let's go!"
Commander Liu interrupted Political Commissar Ping's words. It would be good for everyone to know some things, but it would not be good if we continued to talk in depth.

"Dad...Dad..."
"Hey, my good son!"
Gao Hongming, who had just returned home, saw a small figure staggering towards him as soon as he entered the house. He quickly stepped forward and hugged the little guy.
Holding her son's soft little body, smelling the slightly milky smell of her son on the tip of her nose, a warm and happy feeling came to her heart.
After kissing his son's little face several times, Gao Hongming handed him over to Qin Xiulian who was standing on the side. He walked to Xie Wenqian who was standing on the other side holding the infant in her arms and hugged him.
The daughter kissed her face a few times, but this time she woke up her sleeping baby girl, who danced and cried for a while.
"Get out of the way. You will do nothing good when you come back and make your daughter cry." Xie Wenqian rolled her eyes at him in disgust, walked aside, lifted up her clothes and nursed the child.
Xie Wenqian was originally a tall beauty, and her figure became even more impressive after giving birth to a child.
Now he is so unscrupulous that he even looks straight at Gao Hongming, who has been a vegetarian for more than a month.
It wasn't until he felt a stab of pain in his waist that he came back to his senses. He saw Xie Wenqian's pretty reddish face staring at him, and asked angrily: "Have you seen enough?"
"Of course I haven't seen enough." Gao Hongming swatted her little hand away and said confidently: "What's wrong with me taking a look at the wife of my own matchmaker? Which royal law stipulates that you can't look at your own wife?"
Looking at her husband's plausive face, Xie Wenqian didn't know how to refute, so she could only roll her eyes and glared at him: "Thankfully, you are still a regiment commander with tens of thousands of troops. Even the deputy commander of the theater wants to
I’ll give you three cents of face, but I still can’t do anything right with my playful smile.”
"What's wrong with the leader? The leader is no longer a human being?" Gao Hongming snorted, "This is my home, and you are all my wife. If you have to be serious and respectful when talking to your wife, what's the point of living this life?"
"Yeah...I can't tell you what to do."
Xie Wenqian knew that she was really no match for her husband even though she kept talking. Didn't she think that it was because of his shameless energy that he had coaxed her into his house? Then she lowered her head and nursed the child honestly.
The couple were chatting and laughing in the room while sipping tea. For Gao Hongming, who has not been home for more than half a month, he cherishes the time he spends with his wives.
The same is true for the three daughters Qin Xiulian, Xie Wenqian and Ziying. Since they married Gao Hongming, there were not many days when the couple could get together. Gao Hongming was either fighting or on the way to the battlefield.
Those who have never experienced war will not understand the sadness and longing that a farewell today is likely to be a farewell forever.
The group of people talked for a while, and Qin Xiulian suddenly asked: "Hong Ming, I heard you say some time ago that after the battle in Taiyuan is over, you will go to a place called Guadalcanal to fight for the Americans.
is that so?"
Qin Xiulian's words suddenly chilled the originally warm atmosphere. Ziying and Xie Wenqian's eyes shot towards Gao Hongming at the same time.
"Yes!"
Gao Hongming sighed. He originally planned to tell the three women about this matter in a few days, but now that Qin Xiulian has brought it up, he can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After pondering for a while, Gao Hongming slowly said: "As early as early August, Chief of Staff Chi Yaohui rushed to Guadalcanal with more than 5,000 brothers.
So far, they have fought several battles with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, but Lao Chi came later after all. I was worried that he might not be able to handle the situation, so I thought of going over to support him.
But don’t worry, I won’t be gone for a long time, I’ll be back in a month or two at most.”
