I really came here to fight against Japan

Comrade Zhao Bidada was really bored during the march!

Gansu, located in the northwest, gets colder earlier in winter than the south.

Although it hasn't snowed these two days, there is really not much scenery to see walking on the bare wasteland.

Sun Desheng's cavalry detachment had already rushed to Tianmailing in advance with the leader of Tianmailing.

The other party's cavalry already has over 2,500 soldiers, so Sun Desheng has been promoted to the regimental level ahead of schedule and he is very happy.

There is no good solution for the machine gun battalion, as the upgrade of their troops cannot rely on captured items.

Not to mention the Ma family army, even the artillery of the Central Army might not be worthy of his attention.

But the captain of the machine gun detachment is a very powerful man, he has his own way!

Qin Haichuan, the captain of the machine gun detachment, also came from a powerful family in Gansu.

He tried to get the person back from his hometown, and asked his wife to go back to her parents' home to ask for him.

In an instant, a "Machine Gun Detachment Marine Battalion" of about 500 people was formed!

From now on, the Gansu Army’s artillery positions will no longer need our infantry brothers to send troops to protect them, as we have our own artillery.

Thanks to his wife's brilliant idea, Qin Haichuan took one step towards the regimental level.

In fact, this is not really a fantastic idea. It will become even more magical after many years.

When the Gansu-Shaanxi Air Force comes out with "Air Force Marine Brigade", it will be really eye-catching!

Comrade Zhao Bidada now begins to envy his old unit again.

They have a war to fight now, unlike me who can only march on horseback across the wilderness.

A few days ago, we could still hear the sound of gunfire. This should be our main Red Army fighting in Wuqi Town.

Zhao Bi Da muttered silently in his heart: "Captain, Captain, you must pay attention to safety!"

When they reached the foot of a shady hillside, Zhao Bidada asked everyone to dismount, rest, and prepare lunch.

Zhao Bi Da: This is too luxurious. Marching on horseback every day is much better than marching on two feet.

Even so, I could still eat three meals a day, and every day I ate steamed buns, radishes, and mutton soup with mutton.

It's only been a few days, and he feels that he has gained a lot of weight.

Zhao Bidada was just daydreaming when the Red Army soldiers who were on guard at the top of the slope came sneaking out to find him.

"Captain, there are enemies on the other side of the hill. More than 500 people are coming this way!"

Zhao Bi Da led the guard platoon up the hillside and asked, "Did you see it clearly? Which part is it from?"

The sentry said: "Look carefully, they should be from the Central Army!"

Since the beginning of the Long March, the Red Army soldiers have fought against the Nationalist Army in half of China.

Except for the warlords in the northwest, all the warlords in other places have seen it.

Of course, they all knew the style of the enemy's uniform.

When Zhao Bi Da heard that the Central Army had appeared, he immediately gave the order: "Arrange the machine gun positions and prepare for battle."

It was clear through the telescope, but half an hour later they reached the bottom of the hill.

There were five or six hundred panting Nationalist soldiers who came over in a skirmish line.

No, this is not a skirmish line, it's more like... a group of defeated soldiers fleeing for their lives.

They finally reached the bottom of the slope and sat down on the ground one by one to rest.

A man who looked like an officer was lying on the ground, squinting his eyes in the sun.

An officer nearby called out to him, "Captain Guan, do we have any food left?"

The battalion commander said angrily, "No, do you want to eat it?"

"Haha...", a burst of laughter came from all around.

The man said, "Captain Guan, we haven't had any food for a day and a night, right?

If we all starved to death before we could even get back, would we be considered martyrs for our country?"

Captain Guan said: "I don't know whether he died for his country or not, but the pension will definitely go to those officials!"

After hearing this, the people around fell silent.

After a while, a soldier said, "Sir, I'm so hungry. I can even smell the mutton soup my great-grandmother cooked!"

Everyone else burst into laughter when they heard it.

After hearing this, Captain Guan sighed and said, "You are not hallucinating because of hunger, that is the smell of mutton soup!"

Then he pulled out the revolver from his waist, rolled over, and rolled into a shallow pit beside him.

He shouted to the top of the hill: "Who are you, the heroes up there? Come out and say something.

We are from the 247th Regiment of the First Army of the Central Army. Thank you for lending us your space, brothers.

We will be back in the group soon. Here are two big yellow croakers. They are for the brothers to drink. "

After saying that, he really took out two big yellow croakers from his pocket.

After knocking twice with a clang of "ding-dong", he threw the gold bar in his hand vigorously towards the hillside.

When Zhao Bidada saw this, he found that this battalion commander of the Central Army was quite interesting!

First, they announced the name of the Central Army and said that they would return to the team soon. This was to scare people by using the name of the Central Army. The second sentence meant that the troops behind them would soon arrive to support them.

He said he was stopping by to take a rest and gave me two large yellow croakers as tea money.

This is buying off the issue and preparing to keep things quiet.

If they encountered an ordinary large group of bandits, they might give way to them. After all, the Central Army is still very combat-effective.

Moreover, this group of people are quite capable in combat. Their battalion commander just pulled out his pistol.

The other soldiers had already drawn their guns and were making tactical moves to defend the top of the mountain.

Zhao Bidada realized that if the soldiers below had not been hungry for a day and a night, they would probably have dared to counterattack up the hillside.

Captain Yue on the slope also came up and asked him softly whether he wanted to send the cavalry to attack.

Zhao Bidada said a few words in Captain Yue's ear with a wicked smile on his face, and then asked him to go down and prepare.

Captain Guan looked at the people on the slope and ignored him. He was about to shout again.

Then I saw a red flag with a sickle and an axe standing on the top of the hill.

Captain Guan's heart sank. This was bad. They had encountered the main force of the Red Army.

In Gansu, it is not like in Shaanxi and Sichuan.

The small guerrillas dared to rely on a big flag to pretend to be the main force and seize the guns of the central army.

There is only one Red Army force in Gansu now, the main force of the Jiangxi Red Army.

The people above still didn't talk to him. They just arranged more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns in order.

Then came the mortars, and then they started to stack the mortar shells.

Then came the crisp and slow sound of horse hooves, followed by the cavalrymen one by one.

They slowly walked out from the hillside three hundred meters away.

There were crowds of people five or six meters apart, and it seemed as if there were endless numbers of people and horses hiding behind the hillside.

Captain Guan looked at his men who were showing fear on their faces. Their hands holding the guns had already begun to tremble.

Captain Guan let out a long sigh. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone had been hungry and running all day, it would have been a disaster.

These ten or so machine guns really couldn't scare him, but today the brothers really didn't have the strength to fight.

He threw the gun in his hand lightly to the ground and began shouting towards the top of the slope.

"Red Army brothers on the top of the hill, stop playing tricks up there.

If you still have some mutton soup left, please bring us a few pots.

When I have eaten and drunk my fill, I will naturally surrender to you. I always keep my word!"
