Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 400 The Third Legion
After the train arrived in Xuzhou, Yu Hua also saw many old acquaintances at the gate of the station!
For example, Sun Lianzhong of the Northwest Army who fought in Niangziguan in Jin Province and dealt with the Sichuan Army, and Zhang Zizhong, Pang Bingxun and others who greeted the Sichuan Army warmly at the previous military meeting.

Especially Pang Bingxun, after seeing the Sichuan Army, he walked up quickly!

Before the person arrived, Pang Bingxun's voice came first: "Hahaha..."

Pang Bingxun knew Sun Zhen of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army. The purpose of his visit now was to make friends with Yu Hua, the little God of Wealth of the Sichuan Army!
"Yu Hua... Brother Yu, brother, I miss you so much!"

Now the Sichuan Army's weapons and equipment are considered top-notch in the ranks of the Republic of China Army, all due to Hua's efforts.

The last time the Sichuan army contacted Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong's troops to attack the fifth division of the Japanese army that had withdrawn from Langye, and donated a batch of ammunition to the two armies.

Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun's troops drew out the superior forces in the army, harassed the little devil from the side, and beat up the fifth division's supply troops.

The two armies also seized a lot of weapons and ammunition, and the morale of the troops also increased a lot, because the Japanese army had been suppressing the defenders in the previous battle of defending the city.

It was okay at the beginning, but the long-term suppression made the morale of many troops a little low.

After fighting several small ambushes and annihilating the Japanese army's supply troops, the spirit of Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun's troops also rose a little.

"Commander Pang, hello!"

Yu Hua saluted Pang Bingxun, who was also a member of the local army. Not to mention what happened in 1943, Pang Bingxun was quite powerful in fighting the Japanese army in the previous few battles.

Especially in the Battle of Langya, Pang Bingxun's troops and Zhang Zizhong's troops directly blocked the Japanese Sakamoto detachment for more than a month, buying time for the Taierzhuang victory.

Yu Hua thought of the news he had seen on the Internet before, that Pang Bingxun's troops were encircled by tens of thousands of Japanese troops during the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in 1943, and when they were scattered and transferred, they encountered encounters with the Japanese troops;
After the battle, Pang Bingxun, his son, and several guards were hid in a cave by a farmer. Originally, he only needed to hide well, and Pang Bingxun could move with peace of mind after the Japanese army's search and arrest was over.

However, Pang Bingxun is a bit addicted to cigarettes. Once he came up, he couldn't help it, and asked the farmers to give him tobacco.

Ordinary farmers have worked with soil all their lives, so how could they come into contact with this thing, so farmers had to ask others for help, and it happened that Sun Dianying knew about it.

Sun Dianying had contact with Pang Bingxun before, he guessed that Pang Bingxun must be addicted to cigarettes, and now he couldn't control himself, so Sun Dianying searched secretly, and finally found the cave where Pang Bingxun was hiding.

After finding Pang Bingxun's hiding place, Sun Dianying immediately reported it to the Japanese army, and the little devil sent someone to contact Pang Bingxun. With Sun Dianying helping the situation, Pang Bingxun finally surrendered to the little devil!
Afterwards, President Wang's puppet government appointed Pang Bingxun as the commander-in-chief of the puppet No.20 Fourth Army!
The little devil surrendered to Pang Bingxun and made a big publicity, which suddenly aroused huge public opinion in the Republic of China at that time.

Because, during the Battle of Taierzhuang in 1938, Pang Bingxun was a famous hero, hero, and famous anti-Japanese hero.

Even the little devil who surrendered such a hero really made the national government a little bit embarrassed and unable to step down. Moreover, many ordinary people also denounced Pang Bingxun and demanded severe punishment.

Principal Chang also gave Dai Chunfeng an order to assassinate Pang Bingxun to save face for the national government.

However, Lao Dai analyzed it to Principal Chang. Pang Bingxun could instigate rebellion, but not necessarily assassinate him. An undercover agent in the Japanese camp would be more beneficial in the confrontation.

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Kaishen felt that Dai Chunfeng's analysis made sense, so he asked the people in the army to control the enemy-occupied area to contact Pang Bingxun and instigate him!

Pang Bingxun naturally readily accepted the instigation of the military command. He secretly contacted the military command, and said that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han.

At that time, in the name of an exercise, Pang Bingxun actually had the opportunity to lead the troops, escaped from the monitoring of the Japanese army, and crossed the Yellow River south into Yu Province;
However, due to insufficient preparations, the Japanese army noticed the clues when Pang Bingxun's army's exercise plan was held.

So far, the little devil has stepped up his monitoring of Pang Bingxun!

Yu Hua asked: "Commander Pang Jun! You smoke, I think I can quit!?"

Pang Bingxun is the commander of the Third Army. Although the Third Army has a famous name, there is only one army under it, that is, the 40th Army, and the 40th Army has only one division!

Therefore, Pang Bingxun's army is organized by a Type B finishing division. Although Pang Bingxun's troop is a division-level organization, his troop weapons are far superior to ordinary Type B finishing divisions.

In addition to the directly affiliated spy battalion, one battalion each of artillery, engineering, supply, and signal, as well as a cavalry company and a pistol company, there are 5 regiments and more than 1 soldiers.

According to the memories of Li Shouwu, the General Counselor of the 40th Army after the war, Pang Bingxun’s department had more than 13000 people, 8000 rifles, more than 900 pistols, 60 heavy machine guns, 600 light machine guns, more than 200 grenades, and 4 mountain guns. More than 60 mortars.

Pang Bingxun frowned slightly when he saw that Yu Hua asked himself to quit smoking: "My brother!"

"When I was addicted to smoking, if I didn't smoke, I would feel uncomfortable all over."

Yu Hua waved his hand and said, "Brother Pang Pang, you must quit smoking. If our troops fight in the mountains and the Japanese army sends troops to encircle and suppress them, you will definitely disperse and move."

"During the transfer process, once there was an exchange of fire with the Japanese army, anything could happen on the battlefield. If you were besieged by the Japanese army in the mountains, you would not be able to smoke."

"Isn't it easy for the Japanese army to find out if you are addicted to cigarettes? In this way, the Japanese army can find your hiding place, and you will not be troublesome by then, brother."

Seeing what Yu Hua said, Pang Bingxun also nodded and said, "Brother Yu, you are right!"

As a senior general, he also knew that after the Japanese army captured Jinyang in Jin Province, many of Yan Laoxi's troops also developed in enemy-occupied areas, and the 36th Army of the Sichuan Army, Li Jiayu's troops also fought against the Japanese army in southern Shanxi.

Now that the frontal battle in Lu Province is over, it will definitely be transferred to fight behind the enemy lines like Jin Province. Once his old Pang's troops are selected to fight behind the enemy lines, the situation Yu Hua said will really happen.

Seeing that Pang Bingxun was thinking, Yu Hua said, "Brother Pang, some people in our Sichuan Army used to smoke opium. This thing can be cured. Wu Tianlu, Battalion Commander Wu of the Jin Jizhong Brigade of the 122nd Division!"

"This Battalion Commander Wu is an old smoker, and he has given up now. Brother, you have to get rid of this thing, or you will be the one who suffers when fighting in the enemy's rear?"

Hearing this, Pang Bingxun nodded: "OK!"

"Brother Yu, I am determined to get rid of this thing. If you don't tell me, I really wouldn't have expected such a situation."

Seeing Pang Bingxun say this, Yu Hua hoped that he could really do this. He didn't want this famous anti-war general to fall into sinking because of the smoke.
