The forward reconnaissance battalion sent fighters back to report:

"Report to the chief, the forward of our department has arrived at Gubeikou, it is getting late, do you want to camp here?"

Commander Sun immediately called a marching staff officer, unfolded the military map on the horse, and when they saw it, it turned out that the army had reached the midpoint of the Pingre Highway, Gubeikou. He said to the scout who had come to report:

"Inform all departments to camp on the spot, and also inform Director Han that all officers and soldiers of all departments are not allowed to disturb the people and not leave the troops without permission. If there is a need to occupy a private house, it is necessary to send a competent officer to negotiate it, and compensate for the occupied house or in kind, and when we pass through the county, the young marshal prepares the current ocean for us, and all of them will be compensated with the current ocean......"

He turned his head and said to Wang Chuzhi, the head of the guard regiment, Wang Zhushi, the chief of staff, and the staff officers of the army: "After camping, find a place, and I will have a meeting before dinner......

As soon as he had finished his order, the commander in charge of everything left the group.

Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi and Chief of the Guard Regiment Director Han consulted with the monks of Linggong Temple, and Commander Sun Dianying temporarily set up the military headquarters of the 41st Army in Linggong Temple, preparing to hold a military meeting in the main hall of Linggong Temple. This not only minimizes the disturbance of the people, but also meets the disciplinary requirements of Mr. Li and Director Han, and more importantly, it can better maintain confidentiality.

117 Brigade Commander Ding Boting, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji Zhanwen, 118 Brigade Commander Wang Changchang, Deputy Brigade Commander Chang An, 119 Brigade Commander Ma Wanfa, Deputy Brigade Commander Cheng Kuihua, and the regiment commanders, as well as directly subordinate departments, reconnaissance battalion commander Li Zhite, communications battalion commander Zhang Xinlian, guard regiment commander Han Chuzhi, baggage regiment commander ** Shan, independent regiment commander Wang Qiang, special service regiment commander Zhu Zhongliang, teaching regiment commander Li Hatshui...... The troops have been placed and rushed to the temporary headquarters of Linggongmiao as soon as possible.

Commander Sun and Deputy Army Commander Zha Fengting, Adviser Li, and Director Han sat down and busied themselves communicating with the generals and explaining the tasks and marching matters, and emphatically explaining to them the morale of the troops under their jurisdiction, so as to ensure that every soldier understood the nature and tasks of the operation. The last to arrive was the artillery brigade commander Bai Xicai......

Brigade Commander Bai's home is in Gubeikou, just in Dongguan. He ordered the commanders of the artillery regiments to arrange their headquarters, and many artillery pieces were stopped in the entire Dongguan. The other officers under his command had hurried to visit his old father and mother, and he hurried with the commanders of the regiments to the Linggong Temple for a military meeting. He headed forward to the main hall, and while saluting Commander Sun, he said in a deep voice: "Report to Commander Sun, my father and mother have prepared a few tables of banquets, and when our meeting is over, please lead you to go with you, enjoy the light, and go to the banquet......"

Commander Sun nodded his bare head slightly, motioned for them to take a seat, he grabbed the five-finger belt around his waist with his right hand, held the baton in his left hand, stood up, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Brigade commanders, regiment commanders and commanders of all directly subordinate troops, my 41st Army has spent a day and a half, and I have already walked half of Pingre Avenue, and now the place where I camp is Gubeikou, an important military town. It is more than 100 kilometers away from Chengde Province, the capital of Rehe Province in the east, and more than 200 kilometers away from Chifeng in the north.

Our day-and-a-half march was not very urgent, and the purpose was to give the brethren a process of adaptation. Since Director Han arrived in our 41 st Army, especially since this departure from Baoding, I have repeatedly told all the commanders that it is necessary to make every combatant highly aware of the nature, task, and initiative of this battle, and I hope that all the commanders will get a good grasp of the implementation and communication.

There are also brigades and regiments, and the political training office must be quickly organized for Lao Tzu...... After dinner tonight, except for the vigilant personnel, all the personnel must sleep well, rest well, eat before dawn tomorrow, and set off immediately at dawn, hoping that all the commanders will do a good job of mobilizing and urging the soldiers to march quickly. The little devils of the East have attacked Chifeng in three ways, and they are determined to win Rehe Province, so they want to use Chifeng as a springboard and combat base, and use this base to capture Rehe.

Our 41st Army wants to firmly occupy Chifeng before the devils occupy Chifeng, and then fight an encounter with the invading devils from the periphery. Let those little Oriental soldiers see if our 41st Army is vegetarian, and let the Kuomintang government in Nanjing and Chiang Kai-shek see if our 41st Army can resist Japan......"

He looked around at the generals, saw that they were all sitting upright, listened calmly, and then said: "In the words of Adviser Li: Didn't Chiang Kai-shek passively resist Japan? Isn't it in the name of resisting Japan to exclude dissidents? Let's show him this time, we have dug graves, dug graves, but we can go to the battlefield to kill little devils, we are still good......"

All the generals were infected by what Commander Sun said, and they couldn't stop clapping their hands. Commander Sun walked to the table, picked up the boiled water just now, took a sip, moistened his throat, turned his face to Han Linfu and said, "Director Han, come and talk about it!" ……”

Director Han seemed to have a thousand words, and was about to talk eloquently, when everyone's eyes gathered, he raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes lit up, and the gloomy atmosphere brought by him when he was just released from prison was not much left, or gradually dissipated.

He showed a mouthful of neat teeth, smiled, and said a little shyly: "I just arrived in the 41st Army, thanks to the love of Commander Sun, Deputy Commander Cha, Chief of Staff Wang and Adviser Li, as well as the tolerance of the generals, I will just say a few words. Our army is about to fight against the little Japanese devils of the East, although they are small, they are well-armed, the soldiers are well-trained, and the three armies are mobile and flexible......"

Everyone was a little embarrassed to see him speak, and some people had taught him to speak in detail, and then listened to him. The more he spoke, the clearer his thinking became: "...... If we fight a positional war with them, the current situation of our army is inferior weapons, morale needs to be improved, and it will certainly not be their opponent. Let's put aside Tang Erhu in the Northeast Army, but let's talk about Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army and Wan Fulin's 67th Army...... After engaging with the devils, they did not avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese army, and they were crippled before they could organize an effective counterattack......"

He looked sideways at Deputy Army Commander Zha Fengting, Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi, as well as Army Commander Sun and Advisor Li, and saw that they all cast appreciative glances at him, so he continued: "The little devil is fighting in the northeast, and he is best at frontal containment, and the other part is outflanked, which is also in line with our Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Therefore, when we fight against them, we must be flexible and mobile, so that we do not fall into their voices, fight if we win, leave if we can't win, look for opportunities to fight again in another place, and not engage in unnecessary entanglements with them. In addition, what I want to emphasize is discipline, and only when our 41st Army strengthens discipline, does not disturb the people, and does not take a grain of grass from the people, will we be able to win the support of the people of Rehe and fight this battle to the greatest extent......

Most of the brigade commanders and regiment commanders were very interested and fresh in what he said, if they can win the fight, and if they can't win, they will leave. Some discussed with each other, while others had indifferent expressions and were noncommittal.

When Commander Sun saw that Han Linfu had finished speaking, he said, "Deputy Commander Cha, do you have anything to add?" Deputy Army Commander Cha said: "I don't have anything to add, I think it's better to let Advisor Li talk about it." ”

Adviser Li said quietly: "I want to emphasize one point, that is, we are fighting the devils of the three islands of the East Ocean this time, and our side is fighting a just war, and you have made it clear to the soldiers under your jurisdiction that in our own land, we are not afraid of little devils, we are fighting for the defense of the country, fighting for peace, fighting for the rescue of our fathers, elders, villagers, brothers and sisters, and fighting for the 3,000 miles of beautiful rivers and mountains in the northeast, and we will definitely drive the little devils out of Rehe and out of China......

Wang Lianxi, commander of the 119th Regiment of the 240th Brigade, stood up and said: "Just now, Director Han proposed to let us fight if we win, and run away if we can't win. Then what are we going to do in Chifeng......

Zha Fengting, deputy commander of the army, said: "On the issue of this style of play, our army headquarters has discussed and studied it many times before and after setting out from Baoding, and this matter is of great importance and has a bearing on whether or not our 41 st Army can gain a firm foothold in Chifeng.

After many consultations and discussions, it is necessary to adopt this method of fighting in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and I hope that the brigade commanders, regiment commanders, chiefs of staff at all levels, and marching staff officers present here will actively study and study this style of play with Chief of Staff Wang Zhushi, Director Han Linfu, and Adviser Li, so that when they arrive at Chifeng, they can play well on the battlefield and defeat the devils......"
