Bai Chongxi looked at Yang Fan with a smile and said, "Commander Yang is famous. We have long admired him for a long time. Only when we meet him today do we know what a famous scholar is!

Commander Yang is worthy of being a hero of the times who made the Japanese frightened, and his style is so compelling!"

Sun Lianzhong smiled and continued, "Commander Yang, we have been busy all the way. Thank you so much. We have prepared a wine to welcome Commander Yang. We also ask Commander Yang to move to our army headquarters!"

"Haha, then thank you Chief Bai and Commander Sun for your kind hospitality!"

Yang Fan was not polite either. He nodded and ordered the troops who got off the train to enter Taierzhuang. The vacant transport convoy returned to the original route to pick up other personnel who were still on the way.

Then, under the protection of the guard camp, Yang Fan took a bus to Hanjia Temple on the south bank of the canal.

Drinking can bring feelings closer together. After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually opened up. As they spoke, they began to say that they had lost a lot of life.

"Imitation Brother Lu, since we parted in Jiyang for 30 years, we have been away for more than 8 years in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect that we could fight side by side again in Taierzhuang today, which is really a pity!"

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Gu Liangmin officially entered the role with the help of a little alcoholic smell and began to relate to the old relationship with Sun Lianzhong.

In 1907, thanks to the introduction of his third brother Gu Liangyou, he joined Feng Yuxiang's camp, the 20th town of the newly established army in the Qing Dynasty.

Because he was strong, smart and studious, he was transferred to Feng Yuxiang's guard. He followed Feng to participate in the Luanzhou Uprising, defended the country against Yuan, attacked Zhang Xun, the Zhi-An War, the First Zhi-Feng War, etc., and repeatedly escorted Feng to escape from danger, and was promoted from a soldier to a guard company commander, brigade commander, and division commander.

Gu Liangyou, the third brother of Gu Liangmin, entered Baoding to "train the army" in his early years and served in the same slum with Feng Yuxiang. He had a deep relationship and became a brother of a different surname. He died of illness in Jinan on October 17, 1934!

Sun Lianzhong is one of Feng Yuxiang's thirteen Grandmasters, and is highly appreciated by Feng Yuxiang. He naturally has a very good relationship with the two brothers of the Gu family in his early years.

After Sun Lianzhong accepted Chiang Kai-shek's adaptation in 1930, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the 26th Route Army and led his troops to Jining, Shandong to reorganize and eat.

At that time, the chairman of Shandong Province was Han Fuju and had a deep friendship with Sun Lianzhong. After Sun arrived in Shandong, Han had a wishful thinking and tried to use Sun's power to strengthen himself.

Sun Lianzhong also had the idea of ​​relying on each other with Han at this time.

However, Chairman Jiang believed that Han Fuju had great ambitions and repeated changes, so he was more cautious in the time; while Sun Lianzhong was brave enough to fight and was loyal to his superiors. Once he was pulled over, he would be willing to be the driving force, so he won Sun Ji.

Chairman Jiang sent Cao Haosen, who was once the chief of staff of Feng Yuxiang's troops, to Jining to do the persuasion work of Sun's troops; then invited the generals of Sun's troops to Nanjing in batches to summon them one by one, with a very generous gift.

Sun Lianzhong sent his military chief and secretary-general Yuan Qie and others to Nanjing to visit Jiang. Chairman Jiang personally held a banquet to entertain him, and praised Sun a lot during the meal.

Chairman Jiang was very kind, and Sun Lianzhong was gradually moved and decided to serve Jiang.

"Yes, it's really unpredictable!"

Thinking of the past, Sun Lianzhong was quite moved. He almost joined forces with Han Fuju to settle in Shandong. However, now Han Fuju has been dealt with by military law, and Gu Liangmin is the rising star of the Third Route Army!

However, it was Yang Fan, the rising star, who has become a national anti-Japanese hero and dazzling general who has scared the Japanese and inspired the Chinese officers and soldiers!

After eating and having enough food, Yang Fan said straight to Bai Chongxi and Sun Lianzhong: "Chief Bai, Commander Sun, the Japanese attacks from north to south are coming fiercely. The Battle of Xuzhou will be a bitter battle, and Taierzhuang is currently a key node!

The main purpose of my leadership this time is to assist in defending Taierzhuang. As for other strategic deployments in the Fifth War Zone, I will not get involved! Please forgive me for this!"

Yang Fan's words are simple, straightforward and rough. If it were someone else, this would probably be a big mistake of disobeying the law. Even if he was not punished, he would be wearing small shoes in the future.

Bai Chongxi did not show any displeasure, but instead spoke for Yang Fan: "Commander Yang not only blocked the frontal attack of the Japanese 10th Division and the 22nd Division, but also led his troops to stabilize Feixian and Tengxian.

Now that we have personally led a large army to help Taierzhuang, this is already a model for us. How could we have other extravagant wishes? I believe that Chief Li will have the same idea as me!"

"Haha, then thank you, Chief Bai!"

Yang Fan nodded with a smile, and then Sun Lianzhong said: "Commander Sun, my engineers will arrive in Taierzhuang soon. At that time, I will build stronger fortifications in Taierzhuang and the surrounding areas, and you need your brothers to cooperate!

In addition, Commander Sun was asked to transfer all the common people in Taierzhuang, because Taierzhuang will become the flesh and blood mill for the Japanese, and all unrelated personnel must clear the ground!"

"This is completely fine. We must cooperate with Commander Yang!"

Sun Lianzhong nodded without hesitation. To fight defensive battles, he had to rely on solid fortifications!

The Chinese Tiger Army is best at defense. Now they take the lead in doing that is naturally a great thing, and Sun Lianzhong can't find a reason to refuse!

"Haha! With Commander Yang Hu Ben Army joining, Taierzhuang will definitely be as solid as a god! Come on, let's drink this cup together, wishing us a victory and the Japanese to the ground to find teeth! I'll do it first!"

Bai Chongxi stood up in a good mood, picked up the wine glass, raised the glass to greet everyone, and drank it happily!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Tiger Engineer Corps and subsequent troops arrived in Taierzhuang!

As soon as the site was entered, the engineering regiment with rich experience began construction planning, and then the construction team of tens of thousands of people began to work in a intensive manner!

This time, Yang Fan not only brought a lot of baggage, but also a large amount of steel bars and special cement. An extremely complete defensive fortification group can be built in one or two days.

In order to facilitate communication with the Second Group Army, Yang Fan also set up the command center in Hanjia Temple on the south bank of the canal, and the direct person in charge was Gu Liangmin.

Taier Village has set up a front-line commander, with Miao Dadong personally in charge of the command. This guy has been staying at home to defend and has long been "resentful", so Yang Fan brought it out this time, which can be regarded as letting professionals do professional things!

The morale in Taierzhuang is like a rainbow and the atmosphere in Xuzhou is a bit depressing!

"I understand! This Yang Fan is really good at choosing time!"

Chairman Jiang's expression seemed extremely calm after listening to Bai Chongxi's report, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking inside.

Having used to Yang Fan's imaginary military operations, Chairman Jiang's resistance to toxicity has been greatly enhanced!
Chapter completed!
