Chapter 25 Forced March
Following Adjutant Yu to the command post of the National Army on the mountain, a middle-aged soldier with a low figure but energetic spirit met Hu Fei. The man had the rank of major general on his collar. Yu Shizhen introduced from the side: This is General Kong Kequan, the deputy commander of the 187th Division.
"I am not a good job in Hu Fei, see Deputy Director Kong!" Hu Fei saluted and greeted him according to military rules.
Deputy Director Kong saluted and returned the reverie. The two exchanged a few words and talked about the battle just now. Kong Kequan praised Hu Fei very hard. Hu Fei naturally couldn't stop talking modesty. One of the best qualities of people in our country is modesty. Often, a few words of humility will not only not belittle their own image, but will also give people a feeling of being atmospheric.
This is how Hu Fei is. The more humble he is, the more Deputy Commander Kong feels that Hu Fei is not simple.
"Captain Hu, why are you and the Third Regiment of the Temporary Regiment here? Why are Director Li Xuewen not with you?" The Temporary Third Regiment should be training at the recruit training base. Why did they come to the front line? Kong Kequan had questions about the reasons why Hu Fei and the Third Regiment appeared.
"Report to Deputy Chief, the recruit training base was attacked by the Japanese army four days ago. Although our regiment resisted bravely, it was still no match for the Japanese army. Beishi was incompetent and could only lead the troops to fight and retreat. Director Li Xuewen was unfortunately killed in the country when the troops retreated! Beishi did not protect Director Li, so please punish him!"
Speaking of Li Xuewen, Hu Fei looked sad, as if he was really sad about Director Li's death. He didn't know that the unlucky Director Li was shot dead by Hu Fei!
"Ah? Brother Xuewen died?" Kong Kequan exclaimed, and then he told the past personal relationship between Director Li and him with a heavy face, as well as Li Xuewen's firmness in the anti-Japanese stance and his outstanding military talent and his significant contribution to the construction of the army, etc. It was like his final evaluation of Director Li Xuewen at the funeral.
Finally, Deputy Commander Kong told Hu Fei: In the cruel War of Resistance Against Japan, it is normal for anyone to sacrifice, and everyone can sacrifice at any time, including himself! Director Li is his honor to sacrifice in the battle against Japan, and also the glory of their whole family, and the glory of the entire 187th Division! Deputy Commander Kong wants to report to the division seat and the Military Commission to try his best to win the grief behind him.
Hu Fei expressed his admiration for the righteous deputy commander Kong Kequan, and Deputy Commander Kong gave a very high praise to Hu Fei's contribution in this battle.
When the two of them were flattering you and complimenting me, a soldier suddenly came to report: They captured the Japanese Grand Captain!
"Where are the people? Hurry up, bring them here and I'll see!" Deputy Commander Kong was a little out of control at that time. Hu Fei obviously saw an ecstatic look in Kong Kequan's eyes. It seemed that he could capture a Japanese officer alive. Deputy Commander Kong seemed to be able to get some great benefits from it.
The Japanese Major was carried over by a stretcher, and there were also a group of soldiers with live ammunition behind him. It should be these heroes who captured the Japanese Major. The people on the stretcher were injured on the head, and their heads, which were not very big, were wrapped in a circle on the left and right of gauze.
The leading platoon leader introduced: When he and his soldiers found this Japanese soldier, everyone thought that this guy was dead, and they were about to strip their clothes and throw the body into a pit and buried it. No one expected that this guy would move his hands and feet a few times to indicate that he was not dead. At that time, the two soldiers who stripped his clothes were very scared. They thought that this Japanese soldier was cheating!
The platoon leader's words caused the soldiers around him to burst into laughter, and Deputy Commander Kong also laughed. Although Hu Fei thought this was nothing funny, everyone around him couldn't help laughing, so he had to grin and show a smile.
The Japanese Grandmaster suffered serious head injuries, and his nose, lips, teeth, and back of his head were injured to varying degrees. Especially the injuries on the back of his head, according to the 187th Division military doctor, it is likely that this Japanese Grandmaster would become an idiot in the future!
No matter whether he will become an idiot in the future, at least this guy is always right now as a Japanese major officer! Deputy Commander Kong is very excited about this! He wants to immediately report the news of the capturing of the Japanese major captain, the commander, and Commander-in-Chief Xue of the First Legion!
Hu Fei realized that this Japanese master is really important to Deputy Commander Kong! Maybe he can get promotion or reward with this prisoner? Although Hu Fei did not keep Japanese prisoners in his hands, he could not stop others from getting various benefits from it. Especially if he was still a major general and deputy commander, could he go over and kill the obviously half-dead Japanese devil and cut off the bright future of the deputy commander?
The clever Hu Fei took advantage of the situation and said some polite words such as congratulations. Deputy Commander Kong naturally felt happy and smiled.
On October 2, 27th year of the Republic of China, the troops received an order from General Xue Yue, commander of the First Corps, requiring the 187th Division to move closer to the Wanjialing area as soon as possible and participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division of the Japanese Army!
Encircle and annihilate a division of the Japanese army? After receiving the order, everyone from deputy division commander Kong Kequan to every soldier was excited! Isn’t we going to the battlefield to fight against Japan just to kill more Japanese devils? Now we have the opportunity to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the entire division of the Japanese army. This is a good opportunity that we must never miss!
Deputy Division Commander Kong Kequan immediately ordered: Give up the defensive position on the top of the mountain, and the troops immediately set off and marched to the Wanjialing area!
Wanjialing is northwest of De'an, Jiangxi, at least 100 kilometers away from Hu Fei's current location. According to Kong Kequan's contact with friendly troops, Commander Xue had already mobilized 100,000 troops to organize this annihilation battle. The 187th Division is far away, and the nearest troops may have entered the attack position in Wanjialing!
This is really an early bird that has insects to eat. It can catch up if it comes too early, and it can’t even drink soup if it comes too late! In order to miss this war that may cause a sensation in the whole world, Deputy Commander Kong issued a strict order to the army and forcibly marched all the way. If anyone falls behind, he would have to climb to Wanjialing even if he climbs behind! Deputy Commander Kong would not wait for the fallen soldiers!
If you want to queue up and hold a military parade, Hu Fei's temporary third regiment may not be as good as the regular army led by Deputy Commander Kong; if it is better to walk, the group of people from the temporary third regiment will be no less than the Central Army of the 87th Division!
Most of the people under Hu Fei have had experience in various illegal professions such as bandits, bandits, horse thieves, etc. They have to take high risks in doing illegal work, and it is common for them to run away at any time. How can you run past the arrest without good feet? Although these 100 kilometers sound far, it is not too difficult for them to really get up.
