my bright sword career

Chapter 389
"Gao... I finally see you."

"Professor Harry, it's been hard work coming from afar. At the same time, I also feel sad and sorry for the danger you encountered just now and the two crew members who died unfortunately. At the same time, I would like to declare that I have no military rank in China. Even The military rank on your shoulders is also self-proclaimed, you don't want the national government to make trouble for me, do you?"

After some panic in the air, Harry and his party finally came to the temporary joint headquarters in Yangping Town and met Gao Hongming, the founder of the Liantai County Militia.

Looking at the handsome young man in German uniform in front of him, Harry laughed: "Gao, as far as I know, the national government awarded you the rank of major general last year, but you rejected it.

And with your strength, you are worthy of this title. If fate always bows to those with strength, and even a soldier like you with illustrious military exploits cannot be a general, others are even more unworthy. "

Then he just wanted to introduce Tang Huaiyuan and Brigadier Chen to Harry.

Harry waved his hand, "Gao, please wait a moment, let me take a guess. This must be General Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army of the Yunnan Army, and this must be General Chen *, commander of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. Am I right? ?”

Everyone laughed, and Brigadier Chen stretched out his hand, "Professor Harry is indeed a master of Huaxia, and he even knows us unknown people. It's really amazing."

"No...you are not an unknown person." Harry said seriously: "You were one of the three heroes of Whampoa back then, and Chairman Jiang's most proud student. How could I not know."

Brigadier Chen just waved his hands when he heard the words, "Professor Harry, you are overrated, and I deserve it."

"And you, General Tang, you led the Third Army to resist the invaders with such disparity in weapons and troops. I have to say that you are a true patriot!"

"Professor Harry, you are too proud of the award, and Tang deserves it!"

The atmosphere of a group of people who just met was very harmonious, but it is unknown what both parties are thinking.

Harry and the others had just arrived, and they were attacked by the Japanese in the air just now, the group was tired and hungry, and the troops were still fighting, so after the two sides met, Gao Hongming arranged for them to go down to rest, what's the matter, we will talk about it tomorrow .

After Harry and his party left, the smile on Tang Huaiyuan's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at Gao Hongming and said in a deep voice, "Brother Gao, I think these Americans are not friendly."

"Commander Tang is right." Brigadier Chen's eyes shone brightly. "As the old saying goes, everything goes to the Three Treasures Palace. Harry is the aide of the President of the United States representing President Roosevelt, and Gao Si is the ambassador of the United States to China. It is the U.S. government who suddenly flew thousands of miles from Chongqing to Zhongtiaoshan, a battlefield full of wars, is probably out of ulterior motives!"

Looking at the meaningful gazes of Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan, Gao Hongming not only smiled wryly: "Both old brothers, you two just say that those Yankees are coming after me. Comrade in distress, do you need to beat around the bush?"

"Haha..." The two couldn't help laughing.

Tang Huaiyuan immediately said: "Brother Gao, it's not that I talk too much. In the past two years, your Liantai militia has made too much limelight. Not to mention that you used poison gas bombs to severely damage the [-]th and [-]th Divisions in Qingyuan River. In that battle, let’s just say that there were so many American artillery, American aircraft, German guns and armored vehicles in your army. Even Chairman Jiang would be jealous of so many good things, right?

Now that the country is facing a crisis, a person like you who is rich and has no backing is easy to be missed. "

"That's right!" Brigadier Chen also agreed, "Brother Tang's words are very reasonable. Your current situation is like a child carrying money through a busy market. You must be careful."

Gao Hongming knew that the two were sincerely doing his best, and said gratefully: "Thank you two brothers for reminding me, I will remember."

"It's good to know, we..."

As soon as Tang Huaiyuan finished speaking, a staff officer hurried over and said loudly, "Li Yunlong, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, reported that the Independent Regiment encountered a brigade of Japanese tanks during its attack. Li Yunlong called for reinforcements and artillery support."

"Since you call for reinforcements and artillery support, you just need to notify the artillery battalion for support. Did something happen to the second floor?" Gao Hongming asked back.

The staff officer grimaced, "Sir, our troops are going crazy now, and everyone is calling for artillery support. Our two artillery battalions have been fighting all night since last night, and tens of thousands of shells have been fired. Now the rear The speed of transporting shells can no longer keep up."

Gao Hongming was silent. Their counterattack has lasted for three days. During these three days, almost all the troops have been fighting continuously. The ammunition reserves carried by the troops have long been exhausted. Now they are all transported by transport planes from Liantai County, and the fight continues like this It is easy to go wrong.

Of course, if he is willing to hang out on the spot, the ammunition problem can naturally be solved, but Gao Hongming is not crazy, and of course he will not expose his biggest secret to everyone.

He thought for a while, and looked at Brigadier Chen and Tang Huaiyuan: "Brothers, after these days of high-intensity combat, our troops are exhausted from both the physical strength of the soldiers and the delivery of ammunition. If we continue to fight like this It is easy to go wrong.

My suggestion is to temporarily suspend the counterattack and wait until the follow-up ammunition supplies arrive. What do you two think? "

"I think it's okay." Tang Huaiyuan also agreed with Gao Hongming's point of view, "The end of a strong crossbow is not enough to pierce Lu Jin. Since the weapons and ammunition are already in short supply, it is not wise to fight any further. I think this counterattack can come to an end for the time being."

Brigadier Chen nodded: "Okay...then let's draft an order together to let the troops stop counterattacking and build fortifications in place."

If Hong Ming and the others stopped attacking because of ammunition replenishment, Harry and his party were exhausted all the way. After dividing up several tents, they all fell asleep without even eating.

It was already the next morning when Harry woke up, and before he got up, he saw the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Garth strode in.

"Harry... are you awake?"

"Yes."

Harry sat up from the camp bed, and said helplessly, "You know, since I graduated from middle school, I have never had such a long sleep."

"Of course I believe it." Gao Si laughed and said, "Actually, I woke up less than half an hour earlier than you. Didn't get up yet.

I just saw that their barracks were having dinner, why don't we go over and have a meal? "

"That's a good feeling!" Harry also laughed.
