Chapter 254 Guests are coming
"Captain, this place is great. It's designed to be easy to defend but difficult to attack," Sun Shiqi said as he walked along, becoming more and more surprised the more he looked.
"Haha, that's right, it seems we are not wrong, this is their headquarters."
The Third Regiment of the 115th Division was led by Ji Guangshun, who participated in the Long March, the battles of Xiangjiang River, Luding Bridge, and Loushanguan, and had a very rich resume.
"They are really good at finding places. This place is so far away from Laiyuan City. No wonder our people have been unable to find it." Sun Shiqi suddenly said with a wry smile.
Indeed, since he reported Gu Changfeng's performance, more than one person was alarmed, even the head of the headquarters saw the report.
Later, with the cooperation of the boss, we finally found out that there was a troop stationed in Gaojia Town.
After several more investigations, they finally confirmed that there was no problem, which led to their trip.
Fighting for anti-Japanese forces has always been the tradition of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention such a force that can annihilate two squadrons of the devil in a short time.
Ji Guangshun said with a kind smile:
"There were quite a few sentries along the way, both visible and covert, plus the tunnel design and arrangements made by all parties."
"I am now increasingly looking forward to meeting the commander of this unit."
Sun Shiqi nodded in agreement and said, "When I first met them a few months ago, it seemed that there were not many of them. Now it seems that they have taken in quite a few prisoners of war from Lingqiu City."
Just as Ji Guangshun was about to say something, a soldier from Gu Changfeng's side stepped forward respectfully and said.
"Dear guests, please follow me. Our Chief Gu invites you to come over for a chat."
Ji Guangshun smiled calmly and said to Sun Shiqi, "Let's go."
A few minutes later, the two men and their guards arrived at a secluded house on the top of the cliff. Gu Changfeng had already prepared tea and was waiting for them.
"Hello, both of you. Please take a seat." Gu Changfeng stood up to greet them.
Ji Guangshun looked up at the young Gu Changfeng, then looked at Zhou Qianli beside him, and asked with a smile: "Which of you is the head of the family?"
Zhou Qianli pointed at Gu Changfeng and introduced him, "This is our leader, Gu Changfeng."
Ji Guangshun was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, Gu Changfeng was too young.
However, he was also a veteran of many battles and had seen many young and capable fighters. After a moment, he smiled again and spoke.
"My surname is Ji, and I'm the commander of the 115rd Regiment of the th Division, Ji Guangshun." After saying that, he introduced Sun Shiqi.
Gu Changfeng had an idea in his mind. He was not familiar with Jin-Cha-Ji, but he had heard of the names of the commander of the 115th Division and Captain Ji.
If he remembered correctly, this Captain Ji should have died heroically in the battle against the Japanese in 40.
He was the only one of the three regimental commanders of the 115th Division to sacrifice his life. Of the remaining two, one became a founding general, and the other was shot for his work style problems after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Haha, this time we came here to meet a unit that could wipe out two Japanese squadrons in a short period of time without suffering any damage itself."
Ji Guangshun spoke first.
Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said, "It's all child's play. I just want to know how Captain Ji found us. After all, we are always careful every time we go out."
Ji Guangshun didn't know how to respond to this. Two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were just children?
Where did this army come from and why are they so arrogant?
"Captain Gu, you are indeed hard to find. It took us a lot of effort to find you."
"There is such a strong team in Laiyuan, we must come and get to know them,"
"Actually, finding you was mainly due to the Lingqiu POW camp. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult."
Sun Shiqi explained.
The news that the prisoner-of-war camp had been attacked by a detachment and that a regiment had been lost, and that the prisoners had been rescued, had now spread.
Given the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, it is natural that they would have heard of it.
Relying on this clue, their intelligence personnel were able to find Gaojia Town.
Gu Changfeng understood. After all, it was a large-scale troop movement. No matter how careful they were, it was normal for them to be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
Ji Guangshun sorted out his thoughts, looked at Gu Changfeng kindly and asked:
"Captain Gu is so young. Which unit did he belong to before? How come we haven't heard of it?"
Gu Changfeng was amused. He looked at Ji Guangshun and said, "It's normal that you can't find it. We used to belong to the 21st Group Army and came from the Jinling battlefield."
"The army was beaten down to only about a thousand people left. I thought of coming here to develop some business and fight the Japanese Kwantung Army."
Zhou Qianli continued, "It was mainly because we kidnapped Commander Tang in order to rescue the people."
"Commander Liao was afraid of getting into trouble, so he just ran away. We had nowhere else to go, so we came to Jin-Cha-Ji to fight the Japanese."
Well, these two people's words refreshed Ji Guangshun's cognition.
They had also heard about how tragic the Jinling battlefield was, and they were also surprised that hundreds of thousands of people were successfully evacuated.
After all, these old Red Party members know what kind of people the Kuomintang’s top leaders are like. They don’t care about the lives of ordinary people.
Now I understand after hearing this, the root of the problem lies here.
There was silence for a long while. Ji Guangshun and the other man were digesting the information. Gu Changfeng also did not speak, but drank his tea quietly.
Gu Changfeng knew very well that with the Kuomintang's style of doing things, it would be impossible for them to publicize this matter.
And it was impossible for Baldy to know about his coming to Jin-Cha-Ji for a while, so he was still safe at the moment.
"Have some tea and some snacks. Don't rush back, eat first."
Zhou Qianli broke the dull atmosphere and said to Ji Guangshun with a smile.
Ji Guangshun smiled bitterly and said, "Please forgive me, the information you said is a little unbelievable."
"But based on what I know, I believe you."
There was no need to deceive him about the troops who were able to come to the Nanjing battlefield and kill the Japanese like slaughtering pigs and dogs. After all, there was no benefit for him in doing so.
"Haha, since we know each other, we can keep in touch. If there is a big operation, everyone can cooperate."
Gu Changfeng has no plans to join the Eighth Route Army for the time being. One reason is that it is more comfortable to develop on his own, and the other is the problem of team attributes.
He now doesn't know whether Liao Lei has removed him from the list, so there will be no benefit in joining the Eighth Route Army.
"Haha, Captain Gu, aren't you afraid that we will hold you back?" Ji Guangshun said happily.
He has now fully recovered and has put his original mission behind him.
During the United Front period, Gu Changfeng originally belonged to the 21st Group Army, so there was no need for him to say anything inappropriate.
Gu Changfeng said directly: "We are all the troops fighting against the Japanese, why should we delay or retreat?"
Ji Guangshun said with satisfaction: "Then keep in touch. You can also tell us about any actions you have taken. There is strength in numbers!"
He was very satisfied with this statement. Many members of the Nationalist Army were actually not interested in the Eighth Route Army, and some even wanted to take drastic measures against them.
But he didn't feel any hostility from Gu Changfeng at all. Deep down, he even felt a sense of intimacy.
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment, then turned to Zhou Qianli and said, "Old Zhou, we still have one or two thousand retired guns here, right?"
Zhou Qianli nodded and said, "Including those captured from the puppet troops and bandits in the prisoner-of-war camp, there are more than 1700 guns in total, but we have no bullets left."
Gu Changfeng looked at Ji Guangshun and said, "Since our unit has just expanded, we still have some shortages of weapons and ammunition, but we do have some Hanyang and Zhongzheng rifles."
"We still have a dozen or so Jin-made light and heavy machine guns. If you don't mind, we can support you with them."
"As for other weapons, I have 10 Type 3000 rifles with 92 bullets, and 5 Type 5000 heavy machine guns with bullets."
"10 grenade launchers, 100 artillery shells, 500 melon grenades."
The wealthy Gu Changfeng once again showed his true nature and sent out a large number of weapons and ammunition.
