Chapter 121 Commander Xiao Song is really awesome to his friendly forces
On the afternoon of the next day, Qin Haichuan led the third and fourth guerrilla detachments.
As well as the Artillery Marine Brigade, the First Artillery Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, and three Sichuan Army divisions.
More than 60,000 troops marched neatly to the city of Ji County.
Today, Ji County is very lively. Inside and outside the city, there are lights and decorations, and the sound of gongs and drums.
Even the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone came out of the county in person to welcome these anti-Japanese heroes.
Song Wenwan helped him push the Japanese invaders' defense line back hundreds of miles.
He had no choice but to come to greet her, as he was truly grateful to Song Wenwan.
The first to come were Deng Beihou’s three Sichuan military divisions.
The commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army saw that they could carry the Hanyang-made rifles.
It’s not as poor as the legend says!
But the gun ownership rate is a bit high, with more than 7,000 rifles alone.
You have to know that even among the Central Army, some divisions only have more than 3,000 rifles.
Looking at their light and heavy machine guns, there are about 300 of them.
There are also mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, which look no less powerful than those of the Central Army.
No wonder they dared to fight the Japanese head-on for several times. I could do the same if I were in their place.
The chief of staff of the Second War Zone muttered with a fiery look on his face: "I heard that Commander Song often supports the national army soldiers who fight alongside him. It seems that this matter cannot be faked!"
The commander-in-chief of the Second World War also said: "Commander Xiao Song is really great to his friendly forces!"
At this time, the Gansu Army troops behind also arrived at the city.
Compared with the three Sichuan Army divisions, Song Wenwan's troops seemed even more powerful.
Not only did each squad have four submachine gunners, but the remaining seven soldiers were all holding semi-automatic rifles.
Look at the two light machine guns equipped to the platoon. Each company has heavy machine guns and mortars.
No wonder the Japanese couldn't defeat them. Even two infantry divisions of the Central Army couldn't defeat one of their detachments.
Finally, let’s take a look at their artillery regiment, the Type 92 infantry gun and Type 41 mountain gun.
There are also 75th field guns, which have more and better guns than the Japanese artillery regiments.
With the addition of these 60,000 elite troops, the Japanese army of 100,000 in Shanxi seemed to be nothing to him.
It’s a pity that Commander Song did not come to Ning County, otherwise I would definitely have a good communication with him.
However, the arrival of Commander Qin Haichuan this time solved his urgent problem.
As the nominal top leader of the Gansu Army, Qin Haichuan said that these social engagements were too tiring for him.
He really wanted to go back to Gannan with Song Wenwan, but Suo Wuxing and Jiu Ge had both sent him messages.
This was a special arrangement made by Song Wenwan, just to allow him to train himself well.
As for the allocation of troops, this time the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone was able to behave himself.
He did not follow previous practice and split the three divisions of the Sichuan Army.
Instead, all of Deng Beihou's Sichuan troops were put together to guard the southern line of the Second War Zone.
Then he placed Qin Haichuan's more than 30,000 troops between himself and the Eighth Route Army as a buffer for the collision between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Of course, this was also Qin Haichuan's suggestion. As for the reason...
That is to supervise and stop the pro-inclination of the First and Second Guerrilla Detachments nearby, a very lofty reason.
At this time, Song Wenwan was leading a guard company, galloping on horseback in the Luliang Mountains in Shanxi.
At this time, in a yard in a village in the mountains, the voice of a middle-aged man was heard.
Song Wenwan, accompanied by the brigade chief of staff, walked to the low wall of the yard.
He leaned his head through the gap in the low wall and looked inside.
Then I saw a middle-aged soldier with a big head, crying and snotting, sitting on the ground.
He raised his head and said to a man wearing glasses: "Commander, you have a big family and a big business, you can't do this!
I was assigned to lead less than a hundred veterans and more than six hundred new recruits, and I accepted it.
But it is not enough to give me 300 old sockets and a lot of swords and spears!"
Opposite him, the middle-aged soldier wearing glasses said with a smile: "So what do you mean?"
The middle-aged soldier sitting on the ground stood up immediately when he heard his brigade commander soften his tone.
He said with a smug look on his face: "Commander, I won't ask you for much.
Please take back these junks first, and replace them with water-jet guns, and equip them with two Czech-style guns..."
He looked at the brigade commander's increasingly dark face, smiled awkwardly, and was too embarrassed to say anything further.
The brigade commander suddenly shouted, "Li Yunlong, you may not have a gun, but you have a life.
If you have the ability, go to the Japs and get weapons yourself, whether by stealing or robbing."
Li Yunlong said: "Brigade Commander, I understand if you say so, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
The brigade commander was stunned and asked, "What conditions do you want?"
Li Yunlong said: "You have to give me the autonomy to attack, I can't have to report everything to you first.
Also, our regiment's weapons are too bad, if we have any captured weapons, you have to let me stay and distribute them freely."
The brigade commander said angrily: "Li Yunlong, you are going to rebel? Do you think that Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia can't control you?"
Li Yunlong said aggrievedly: "Brigade Commander, you want me to be a thousand-mile horse, but you also want to tie me to a stake and not let me move. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
The brigade commander angrily said, “Get out of here, and you can do whatever you want from now on!
Don't bother me with trivial matters."
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Thank you, Brigade Commander, thank you, Brigade Commander, you can rest assured!
Within half a year, I will develop a thousand-man group for you, with each man armed with a gun."
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, kid?
You're crying and laughing at the same time. I feel like I've been tricked by you."
Song Wenwan lay on the wall, watching Li Yunlong and his brigade commander with great interest.
The famous scene of love and hate is being played out, and it feels so refreshing!
The brigade chief of staff saw that the friendly forces were still nearby, and Lao Li looked...
Oh! Why do I feel a little embarrassed?
He quickly shouted to the inside of the courtyard wall: "Brigade Commander, Deputy Commander Song from the Second War Zone is here to visit our troops."
At this time, the brigade commander and Li Yunlong had stopped their "communication" and they both looked up at the courtyard wall.
They saw a man lying on the low wall of the fellow villager's house, looking at them with great interest.
The brigade commander recognized Song Wenwan at a glance, mainly because he is now a prominent figure.
Song Wenwan's majestic photos have been published in many newspapers.
Besides, when the Red Army was reorganizing and changing its equipment, Song Wenwan came to Yan'an as an observer.
Many veteran Red Army soldiers hated this accomplice of the reactionaries to the core.
That is Song Wenwan, who recently fought several fierce battles with the Japanese and achieved brilliant results.
His First and Second Guerrilla Detachments fought side by side with the Eighth Route Army for nearly a year.
This has changed everyone's perception of Song Wenwan.
Otherwise, the brigade chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army would not have been so polite to Song Wenwan.
He really didn't care about the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.
But the brigade commander felt differently, as he had worked in intelligence before.
There were many weapons and equipment of unknown origin in the Red Army.
Although their weapons and equipment are not produced in the same country as Song Wenwan’s.
The headquarters also said that they were all provided secretly by Moscow.
