I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 153 Guan Zhan is appointed as the commander of the 1st Jiangnan Militia Division

It’s better to be a big boss. You only have to talk and you don’t have to worry about other things.

The aviation talents who returned from Xinjiang stayed directly in northern Shaanxi.

After the selected flight trainees gather, they will come to Base No. 1 together.

The selection in Gannan was handed over to Brother Jiu, and Political Commissar Mo stayed at the airport to take full charge. Guan Zhan couldn't stay in Longnan for long, as his schedule had already been set.

In a few days he will go to Jiangxi to serve as the commander of the First Militia Division.

Even though his current position is not high, as the deputy chief of staff of the army group, being only a division commander is equivalent to a demotion.

Don't look down on the position of division commander. Song Wenwan handed over the entire Gansu Army forces in the south to him.

Even if he went to Jiangnan, he was still the deputy chief of staff of the army group.

In the future, if the second and third militia divisions can be formed, they will be the troops under his command.

Song Wenwan gave him the radio and the code and let him go to Jiangxi via Sichuan.

A month later, when Guan Zhan arrived in Jiangxi, he burst into tears. The people there were so miserable.

The troops that originated from the Red Army and the Gansu Army did not have the habit of drawing salaries without working.

Thirteen thousand fully equipped soldiers have lined up to welcome his arrival.

No, it can’t be considered fully equipped. How can it be considered fully equipped?

They knew that Guan Zhan would arrive in the afternoon, so they donated all their guns and ammunition to the newly formed Iron Army Independent Regiment in the morning.

Seeing Commander Guan who was about to cry but had no tears, the few people who had a say came over with a grin on their faces.

"Commander, you know that the New Fourth Army is really poor now.

There are only four detachments in total, and half of the soldiers are without weapons..."

Guan Zhan was so angry. These prodigal sons of bitches didn't even keep their bayonets for self-defense in order to support the New Fourth Army.

Don’t be angry. I’m not angry. After all, I am a party member and cadre.

We should have this awareness, since the support we are providing is from our brother troops.

Guan Zhan took the map and found a valley as the location for the supply airdrop.

He sent everyone away and told them to gather in the valley tomorrow.

At night, Guan Zhan sent a telegram to Song Wenwan, briefly explaining the matter.

Then attach a list of the weapons and food needed.

Then he took his guard company to guard the entrance of the valley.

At four o'clock in the morning, Guan Zhan fired two red flares into the sky.

After a while, there was a buzzing sound of an airplane in the sky.

Then, one by one, parachute bags flew down from the sky, swaying.

When it was dawn, the soldiers of the guard company accompanied Guan Zhan with their mouths open.

Together, they stared blankly at the large wooden boxes that were filled in the valley.

Suddenly, Guan Zhan reacted and immediately ordered the guard company to stand guard on the spot.

Then he asked the staff of the newly formed division headquarters to quickly notify the various troops to come to the valley to get equipment.

When the soldiers who were urgently called over saw the mountains of equipment, their eyes widened.

And the man who was dozing off on the shell box instantly became the omnipotent god in their hearts.

When it comes to pretending to be a knight, Guan Zhan has learned the true skills from Commander Song.

Of course, when he found out that the box under his butt was filled with explosives that day, his legs went limp with fear.

Afterwards, Guan Zhan, who had learned all the skills from Yang Liqing, led his militia division and caused quite a stir in Jiangnan.

For a time, the two guerrilla masters, "Guan" in the south and "Zhao" in the north, were evenly matched.

Because the National Army also had a master in guerrilla warfare.

This made the temporary capital quite proud, and they directly promoted Guan Zhan to the rank of lieutenant general to show their intention to win him over.

Guan Zhan's situation was fine, but it only annoyed Comrade Zhao Bidada in Hebei.

However, due to Guan Zhan's true identity, he could not tell anyone that he had once captured Guan Zhan.

Zhao Bidada was so angry that he scolded Guan Zhan every day. Does he know what guerrilla warfare is?

Guan Zhan was also afraid that the matter of the bowl of mutton soup would be brought up, so he avoided responding to Zhao Bidada's provocation.

The two men had no place to vent their anger, so they had to go looking for trouble with the Japanese.

It’s just that the good-tempered Lieutenant General Guan earned the title of a Confucian general.

The cold war between the two of them gave Guan Zhan an umbrella of protection for his "discord" with the Communist Army.

It was already October, and the comrades who had been studying flying in Xinjiang had finally returned to Yan'an after going through untold hardships.

They had no time to rest before they started selecting flight trainees.

In mid-October, they and the other students entered the training base in Hengshan to begin political studies.

On a dark and windy night, they were loaded into large trucks and headed south.

After a long journey of three days and four nights, their truck arrived at Base No. 1 early one morning in October.

When they jumped off the truck one by one, they had no time to complain about the hardship of the journey.

I was fascinated by the dozens of planes in front of me.

"It turns out that the rumors about coming here to learn flying skills are not true."

When Zhao Gang saw the plane, he had already analyzed the mission of his trip.

Zhao Gang, the leader of the December 9th Movement, studied at Yenching University and later went to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Yan'an to study.

But he didn't expect that he was still studying at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Yan'an and had not yet graduated.

I was selected by the Air Force and came to this deep mountain to learn flying.

After arriving at Base No. 1, many comrades from Yan'an had ideas.

They all feel that they are not very adaptable, and this is mainly because of the military uniforms.

Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, one of them was on the front line and the other was behind enemy lines.

You fight yours and I fight mine, and there is no cooperation between us.

I always feel awkward when I'm suddenly with a group of people wearing Kuomintang military uniforms.

That is, the comrades who came back from Xinjiang often learned flying with the soldiers, and they adapted relatively quickly.

Later, Political Commissar Mo took the "quartermaster" of the Northeast Army and walked around each dormitory in the dark.

The "quartermaster" came in, wearing the uniform of the Gansu Army, and handed out cigarettes to everyone one by one.

He pointed to the badge on his military cap and said to them with a smile: "I am an underground worker and one of us."

Listening to his incomprehensible words, Political Commissar Mo endorsed him.

Instead, everyone fought with the Gansu Army.

Actually, the "quartermaster" originally wanted to wear a flight jacket.

It’s a pity that he has gained weight in the past two years, and there is really no size bigger than his, so he can only make do with the military uniform.

Song Wenwan had just let Guan Zhan go when she welcomed the arrival of the Minister of Military Affairs and Overseas Chinese Representative Chen.

No one knew who leaked the news, but Song Wenwan threw her chopsticks on the dinner table during a private visit to northern Shaanxi.

Finally, the rumor that he was "politely escorted" out of the country by the Communist army reached the headquarters of the temporary capital.

It is said that news came from the headquarters that they were quite satisfied with Song Wenwan's performance at the dinner table.

Therefore, the request of Mr. Chen, the overseas Chinese representative, was approved.

Allow members of their overseas delegations to visit and express condolences in Gannan accompanied by the Minister of Military Affairs.

Likewise, this made the Ma family army very angry. They felt that the people in the temporary capital were too ungrateful and went back on their words.

They were no longer willing to help the First Army to take advantage of the situation.

So for a long time, they stopped harassing Song Wenwan in Gannan.
