Seeing Chief Li's silence, Su Rui knew there was a way out and quickly said: "Sir, the 300 Division seems to be strong now, but in fact, secretly there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us, hoping that we will make a mistake, or even
Thinking of using Japanese hands to weaken us.
Why do we insist on separate the central army and the miscellaneous army when we are both members of China's national defense force? I think this is very bad. Well, since people don't want to see me develop and grow, then I will do it myself.
.And I will also assure you here that no matter what happens in the future, I will never forget my identity as a son or daughter of China! I will also never forget your kindness!"
Chief Li listened quietly to Su Rui's words. At first, he just listened silently and said nothing. It was not until Su Rui finished speaking that he nodded slowly.
"Well, since you have this intention, I can't stop you. Where do you plan to go to cultivate for a while?"
When Su Rui heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly revealed the place he had planned for a long time: "Suizhou!"
"Suizhou?"
Chief Li frowned, then relaxed his brows. He looked at Su Rui with a half-smile and said: "Suizhou is the gateway to Xiangfan and an important town in northern Hubei. Now the Wuhan battle will start soon, and Suizhou may also be involved in the war. You
Aren't you afraid that you will be involved in this storm when the time comes? It would be better for you to be stationed in Xiangfan!"
"Xiangfan?" Su Rui was startled at first, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master De, please don't make fun of me. Xiangfan is an important town in Hubei. Besides Wuhan, it is the most important town in Hubei. You really want to send me."
If we go to Xiangfan, I will be done as a teacher in a few days."
Commander Li smiled and nodded, "It seems that you are not completely lost, and you are still self-aware. Okay, I will issue an order now, asking your 300 divisions to move to Suizhou and take charge of Suizhou's defense. What do you think?
"
"Thank you, sir, for your cultivation!"
Su Rui was overjoyed. When he arrived in Suizhou, he would have at least three to four months as a buffer. At that time, he could take the opportunity to recruit troops and train a truly elite army.
Soon, Chief Li wrote an order, ordering Su Rui's 300 Division to immediately move to Suizhou and serve as the garrison commander of Suizhou. Don't underestimate the position of garrison commander. Su Rui took on this position.
After that, it was shouldered by the military and police, which can be said to be very powerful in Suixian County.
"What, Master, do we really want to move our defense to Suizhou?"
In the division headquarters, Liang Zhi's voice was unusually loud. He stared at Su Rui and said: "Master, do you know that Suizhou is the throat of Xiangfan and the place where hundreds of battles are fought. This Wuhan war is bound to be affected.
Aren’t you afraid that by then we will lose all the money we have managed to save?”
"What am I afraid of?" Su Rui laughed loudly: "A year ago, I came here empty-handed. I didn't start this team for the purpose of becoming king and hegemony. If it was for fun, with my current wealth, I can go wherever I want.
If you can't be a rich man here, why bother to eat this bowl of rice?
So what if Suizhou is a place of hundreds of battles, as long as you give me four or five months to recuperate, I can guarantee that even if the Japanese come, I will knock out all their front teeth!"
Listening to Su Rui's confident words, Liang Zhi sighed in a low voice, "That's all. Since you, the division commander, are not afraid of beating up all three hundred divisions, then let me go crazy with you."
Su Rui laughed, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, Brother Ziran! Why should we Chinese people be afraid of those mere clowns in Japan? Believe me, I will give you all a surprise when we arrive in Suixian County.
of."
On May 18, Su Rui's 300 divisions set off in full force, leaving the Tongbai Mountain area and marching westward. Three days later, they finally arrived in Suizhou.
Suizhou is located in the northern part of Hubei Province, spanning 31°19' to 32°26' north latitude, and 112°43' to 113°46' east longitude. It is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River Basin and the Huaihe River Basin, with the central city of Wuhan to the east and Wuhan to the west.
Xiangyang is adjacent to Xinyang in the north and Jingmen in the south. It is located at the "key point of Jingyu" and strangles the "throat of Han and Xiang", making it an "important town in northern Hubei".
Suizhou is so important that the Nationalist Government placed an army here. However, with preparations for the Battle of Wuhan, the troops here have successively moved to the vicinity of Wuhan. Now the arrival of Su Rui's 300 Division has made Suizhou
County officials, large and small, began to become nervous.
As the saying goes, bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates. These days, all the soldiers are difficult to mess with. If you mess with them, they will draw their guns. It turns out that the motley army stationed here is
But the pits around Suizhou have been miserable, and they have just been transferred away with great difficulty. Why now another army has arrived? Isn't this going to cost them their lives!
After much thought, Suizhou County Magistrate Cheng Sheng had no choice but to lead a group of Sui County party and government officials out of the gate of Suizhou County to welcome the arrival of the army.
It was already noon, when the sun was scorching. Cheng Sheng, who was fat and sweaty from waiting, stood at the gate of the county town. He paced back and forth for a while. He raised his head and asked the police chief beside him: "
Director Huang, where are the troops?"
A tall man in his thirties wearing a black police uniform on the side quickly bowed and replied: "County Magistrate, the people we arranged in front have called and they have arrived at the mouth of the river. It will take another half an hour."
It will arrive.”
Cheng Sheng gave a bitter smile: "Well, I just hope these soldiers can stay safe and stop being like the soldiers of the Temporary Forty-sixth Division who drank and fought all day long and caused trouble."
The man wearing a police uniform on the side quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, County Magistrate. I heard that the 300 Division coming this time is the team of the anti-Japanese hero General Su Ruisu. Their military discipline is very good. Nothing will happen."
.”
"I hope so!" Cheng Sheng then said something and then fell silent.
After about twenty minutes, there was a roar of cars on the road ahead, and soon a puff of dust and smoke was rising in front.
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "It's coming, it's coming!"
Soon, trucks drove up and stopped in front of the crowd. A colonel who looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a German military uniform opened the door and got out of the truck. He frowned when he saw the crowd at the door.
He frowned at first, then strode up to the crowd and asked, "Who are you and why are you blocking the way of the troops?"
Cheng Sheng hurried forward and said with a smile: "Hello, sir, I am Cheng Sheng, the magistrate of Suizhou County. When I learned that the army was coming, I led the county officials and the gentry to welcome the army and prepared small gifts to reward the army.
, I wonder who the commander of your army is, could you please tell us to meet with the commander of your army?"
"That's right!"
This colonel was Lin Shiqian, who had just been promoted to the commander of the 398th Brigade. He thought for a while and then said: "Our division commander is still behind, please wait a moment."
"Okay, thank you sir!"
Cheng Sheng saw that the colonel was not as domineering as the national army officers he had seen in the past, and his nervousness relaxed a little. He quickly took out an ocean letter from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into Lin Shiqian's hand.
Inside, he said in a low voice: "Sir, this is not a small thing, but I hope you will accept it."
"What are you doing?"
Lin Shiqian was startled when he touched the heavy ocean in his hand, and hurriedly returned the ocean to Cheng Sheng.
"I told you, County Magistrate Cheng, please don't harm me. If the teacher finds out, I won't be able to benefit from it. You'd better take it back, otherwise I'm going to fall out!"
"this……"
Cheng Sheng held this letter and didn't realize it for a moment. Are there any soldiers who don't like Dayang these days? Or is he just pretending?
When the police chief on the side saw this, he quickly came over to smooth things over and said: "Sir, our County Magistrate Cheng saw that all the officers have been working hard all the way, so we only wanted to treat the officers to tea. There is no other intention."
Lin Shiqian moved his hands like windmills, "Okay, I accept your wishes, but I really can't accept them, otherwise it would be weird if the superiors see me and I don't peel off my skin. Okay, put your things away."
!Don’t show it to me later. If you really want to give it, just give it to our logistics department. He won’t be dissatisfied with it no matter how much you give it.”
Cheng Sheng and others gave a bitter smile: "I can support myself by sending money to your logistics department. It's a bottomless pit, and no amount will be enough."
While he was talking, a car drove up in front of everyone, and an officer got out of the car. The three-pointed star on his collar badge shone in the sun.
When Cheng Sheng and others took a look, they immediately knew that today's real leader was here, but they were all secretly surprised. This general was really young. He looked like he was less than thirty years old, so he probably was.
The youngest major general in the entire national army, right?
After getting off the bus, Su Rui saw a group of old and young people wearing Chinese tunic suits and old-fashioned gowns standing in front of the city gate, and he understood something in his heart.
After he got off the car, he strode forward. The leaders immediately came up to him and stretched out their hands, saying repeatedly: "Oh, you must be the commander of the 300 Division, General Su. I am the representative of Suizhou County Magistrate Cheng Shengjin."
Officials at all levels and gentry from all walks of life in Suizhou welcome the arrival of the army. With your visit, our safety in Suizhou will be guaranteed!"
"Yes, yes! As soon as Commander Su's troops arrive, our people in Suizhou will have hope. This move by your army in these troubled times is really of great merit!"
After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, several elderly gentry around him also came forward to flatter Su Rui, and a steady stream of compliments came to Su Rui's ears as if they were free of charge.
Considering how old Su Rui has been, he has never experienced such a battle. The slap from the horse made him feel dizzy.
After chatting for a while, Su Rui entered Suixian County with the support of everyone...
