my bright sword career

Chapter 293 Assigning Tasks
Unlike Tang Huaiyuan, who was like an uncle next door, General Cun Xingqi was of medium build, wearing a steel helmet, and had a face with Chinese characters. At first glance, he was the kind of person with a firm and unyielding personality.

Before Gao Hongming could speak, he took the lead in saluting Gao Hongming with a snap, and Gao Hongming quickly returned the salute, "Mr. Cun, don't let others see you and scold the staff for not understanding the superiority and inferiority of the staff." .”

Cun Xingqi waved his hand: "What is superiority and inferiority? You have no military status in the Military and Political Department. Strictly speaking, we have no subordinate relationship. Moreover, you saved the lives of more than 2 brothers in our third army. I respect you." A salute is nothing, you can also stand up to this military salute."

Looking at this iron-blooded man who led the last dozens of soldiers of the [-]th Division in another time and space to fight to the last moment, and killed himself with the Zhongshan dagger presented by Premier Sun until his legs were blown off, Gao Hongming also solemnly returned I gave a military salute.

Later, after Gao Hongming greeted Li Shilong, the commander of the Seventh Division, and others, he entertained several people into Laoye Temple.

During the war, everyone didn't pay so much attention. The guards moved to fold the small benches. After everyone sat down one by one, Tang Huaiyuan took the lead and said, "Commander Gao, we are following the order of Commander He to cooperate with your proposal of sticking to the waiting aid center and blooming." It’s just about the strategy, but how to fight this battle, please tell me.”

After speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

As soon as Gao Hongming reached out his hand, Dabao took out a map from his briefcase and spread it out on the ground.

Gao Hongming casually picked up a twig from the ground, pointed to the map and said, "Sirs, please take a look..."

"Sir... people from the Eighth Route Army are here."

Just when Gao Hongming was about to speak, Dabao came in to report again.

"Oh……"

Gao Hongming and everyone looked at each other, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, this time everyone is finally here."

Tang Huaiyuan also smiled and said, "Then let's go out to meet them."

After a while, Gao Hongming and Tang Huaiyuan welcomed the group of people in, and the leader of the Eighth Route Army was none other than Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade, and among the officers behind Brigadier Chen were Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Ding A few old acquaintances.

"Brother Gao, this time we can fight devils again, hahaha... Let me tell you, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

As soon as everyone walked in, Li Yunlong's loud voice rang out.

"Okay, let's all sit down." Gao Hongming was also very happy to see Brigadier Chen and his party coming in person, and called everyone to sit down.

Afterwards, an orderly brought a large teapot and more than a dozen cups, poured cups of hot coffee from the teapot and distributed them to everyone.

Brigadier Chen, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang and others were not polite, took the cups and tasted them slowly, while the other officers who were unfamiliar looked at the dark coffee in the cups with doubts on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong showed off a little proudly: "Old Guan, Lao Xu, this thing is called coffee, and it tastes bitter and astringent. I was not used to it when I drank it for the first time, but after you get used to it, you will feel it. Alright, the most important thing is that this thing can be used as a substitute, if you have a drink when you are dozing off, you will feel much more refreshed.”

Tang Huaiyuan and the generals beside him looked at each other, and said with emotion: "It is said that Commander Gao is a famous local rich man in Shanxi, now I have learned a lot, and I can even drink this kind of foreign stuff on the march."

Gao Hongming smiled: "I made the chief laugh. A little coffee is nothing. If you like it, I will ask the orderly to pack a few catties for you later, so that you can try it."

"Oh...then thank you first, bro."

Tang Huaiyuan is not too polite. This is a well-known rich landowner in Liantai County. It is said that he owns thousands of acres of fertile land and runs dozens of shops. This may be rare for ordinary people, but for It's nothing to him.

After drinking a cup of hot coffee, everyone felt that their stomachs were warm, because their bodies were much more refreshed after traveling for days.

After seeing that everyone was refreshed, Gao Hongming said, "Okay, since everyone is here, let's continue the topic just now."

After finishing speaking, Gao Hongming spread the map on the ground again, picked up a twig and pointed to a certain place and said, "Everyone, please look, this is Qiuyang County, where we are currently located, [-] kilometers north of Qiuyang County .

Here are the three commanding heights of Guojialing, Yangping Town, and Gaojiazhuang. As long as these three places are occupied, a radius of tens of kilometers is under our control.

Moreover, it is only more than 50 kilometers away from Wufujian Ferry, which is convenient for the friendly troops on the north bank of the Yellow River to come to support. Even if things go wrong, we can still break out in the direction of Shanxi, which can be regarded as a way out.

In view of this, I think we can put the sticking point here, what do you think? "

Regarding this point, everyone had already done research before coming here. Hearing this, Tang Huaiyuan nodded: "Yes, our third army has no objections. What do you think, Brigadier Chen?"

Brigadier Chen also nodded: "Before coming, the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters has given me an order to cooperate with Commander Gao as much as possible. Since he has made a decision, we naturally have no objections. The question now is how to distribute the three parties. Defensive zone, this requires everyone to discuss it carefully."

Everyone turned their eyes to the map again. Guojialing, Yangping Town, and Gaojiazhuang are the three places where Guojialing has the most dangerous terrain and is relatively easy to defend, followed by Gaojiazhuang. Yangping Town has the most flat terrain and is difficult to defend. Also the biggest.

Gao Hongming took the lead and said: "Well, since we proposed this plan, Yangping Town will be defended by our Liantai militia, and the remaining two places will be discussed and decided by the two of you?"

Seeing that Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen were going to talk, Gao Hongming took the lead and said: "Don't fight me, you two, our Liantai militia has the smallest number of people, but our equipment is the most advanced.

Besides, we also have an armored force, which can only be effective on flat ground. The two of you should have no objection to this point, right?

In this case, the task of stationing Yangping Town is naturally mine. "

Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen couldn't help being dumbfounded, and then Brigadier Chen smiled and said: "Okay, since Commander Gao chose Yangping Town, let Gaojiazhuang let our Eighth Route Army defend it, and as for Guo Jialing, we will trouble Commander Tang's Third Army to come They are stationed, Commander Tang, what do you think?"

What else could Tang Huaiyuan say? Of course he knew that Gao Hongming and Brigadier Chen's third army had just experienced a few days of battle, and the troops suffered a lot of casualties, so he gave them Guojialing, which was the easiest to defend.

He took a deep breath, "Since the two are so generous, then Tang will thank you for the more than 2 soldiers of the Third Army. Here, I also assure you that as long as the Third Army is still alive , Guojialing will never let a devil go there."
