When Lin Junxiong saw Xue Yue, Xue Yue was sitting with a black face, he suddenly stood up and slapped the table and said: "I don't understand, why does the chairman of the committee hold power in his own hands, he is suspicious of anyone, Wanjialing's victory was exchanged for the lives of countless soldiers of the national army, but Lao Jiang He didn't care about so many soldiers of the national army who died, only about the casualties of his 74th Army." ”

Lin Junxiong was startled by Xue Yue's slap on the table, and after listening to Xue Yue's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he didn't find anything, it was estimated that the 74th Army sacrificed too much in the Battle of Wanjialing, and Lao Jiang not only did not praise Xue Yue, but also scolded Xue Yue for it. Lin Junxiong knew that no matter how many comforting words he said at this moment, it wouldn't have much effect, and Xue Yue called himself over just to find someone to talk to about the distress in his heart.

"What I said to me in the past was a lie, I fought in vain in the east and west, fighting everywhere for his grand cause, and in the end, just because his ace troops suffered too many casualties, he threatened to kill me, what am I in his heart?"

"If I had known this, I might as well have joined the Communist Party directly. Hey, why don't you speak? ”

"Didn't the eldest brother call me to vent his distress and anger to find someone, and it would be good if the tone was smooth, wouldn't it?"

Xue Yue shook his head and sighed before pointing at Lin Junxiong and said, "You kid, you have become a roundworm in my stomach, you know everything." Hey, I'm also angry, I want to talk to someone, and there is no one around me who can particularly believe in it, and it's just you. ”

"It seems that the chairman scolded you very badly this time, and the eldest brother is so angry."

"The 74th Army is the combat order I gave directly to Yu Jishi, the 74th Army is Lao Jiang's descendant and trump card, and to mobilize it to fight, Lao Jiang needs to speak personally. Yu Jishi did not hesitate to participate in the battle directly, but the casualties of the 74th Army were indeed a bit large, and before the Battle of Wanjialing began, Lao Jiang called to transfer the 74th Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, to Changsha for rest, and I called back at the time, 'I can't be transferred'. Soon, Lao Jiang called for the second time to say that the 74th Army had suffered heavy casualties in Minshan and should be transferred for rectification. But at that time, the battle was fierce, so I replied to him: all the armies in northern Jiangxi had been fighting longer than the 74th Army, and the casualties were greater than those of the 74th Army. ”

"Big brother, this is a general, and the king's order is not subject to it, no wonder the chairman is angry."

"Not only that, I also transferred the 66th Army, which Lao Jiang left in Lushan to fight guerrillas, to Wanjialing to participate in the war, at that time, someone advised me to be careful of Lao Jiang's settlement after the autumn, I said that it was not the first time anyway, and I could only shoot it once."

"Facts have proved that the eldest brother's decision is correct, the 74th Army played an irreplaceable role in the Battle of Wanjialing, and the 66th Army even knocked out the command of the 106th Division."

"But Lao Jiang doesn't think so, the heavy casualties of the 74th Army make him feel distressed, and the transfer of the 66th Army also goes against his original intentions, the two things together, how can Lao Jiang bear that little heart."

"Big brother, it seems that the chairman still values you very much, if you change people, I estimate that you will be shot eight times, and the chairman just reprimanded you harshly, he is the leader, you have touched his scales repeatedly, he has to find a step down."

"You have a point, I think it was 1926, when the Nationalist Government sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and at that time, despite the opposition of Bai Chongxi, the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, I drove the first division into Shanghai at the request of the representative of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions. Later, Lao Chiang and Li Zongren conspired in Shanghai to 'purge the party', and I was seriously regarded as 'showing signs of leftism', and my first division at that time was also regarded as 'unreliable'. Later, I was even dismissed, and in a fit of rage, I went south to Guangdong to seek refuge with Li Jishen. ”

Xue Yue sighed and continued: "Later, I took refuge in Lao Jiang, but during the Central Plains War, I got angry when I looked at those mediocre commanders, and my decision to put forward several numbers was denied, and then I applied for a job transfer through injury, Li Zongren naturally wished I was like that." I was transferred to the Liuzhou Military Academy as the principal, and at that time, the internal political situation of the Nationalist Government was complicated, and intrigue abounded, so I resigned and returned to Kowloon in discouragement. ”

"Later, Lao Jiang formulated the national policy of 'settling the outside must first secure the interior', and the four encirclements and suppressions failed to succeed, I don't know who mentioned me to him, Lao Jiang recalled me and talked about a lot of grand ambitions to make a strong country, and blame your eldest brother for not being idle, so he believed it so easily."

"Your eldest brother is a person, he can't stand those who don't know how to pretend to be blind in his life, and he will fight for reason when he thinks it makes sense, and he lacks some flexibility, but because of his character, he can't change it. As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Lao Jiang was afraid that the main force of his descendants would be wiped out, so he ordered the troops to withdraw to the mountains west of the Jinghan Railway, and the former enemy's headquarters moved to Luoyang. How could there be no bloodshed and no sacrifice in a war, I was very angry at the time, and I also quarreled with him, he only said that it was a strategic consideration, and later I learned that it was to carry out the embankment at the mouth of the garden. ”

Lin Junxiong had been listening quietly to Xue Yue's confession, and when he saw him stop, he interjected: "The bursting of the embankment at the mouth of the garden has not been able to stop the pace of the Japanese army's attack on Wuhan for long, although it has won some time for the deployment of Wuhan, but the lives of those hundreds of thousands of civilians are lost like that, and many cities along the Yellow River are still flooding from time to time." ”

"It's miserable, but we can't stop it, I'm very disappointed in this national government now, but what else can I do, if it weren't for the suppression of the Nanchang Uprising and the pursuit of the communist army for more than 2,000 kilometers, I still have a choice now."

Lin Junxiong didn't know if Xue Yue was sincere or testing himself, so he simply remained silent.

After a while, Xue Yue seemed to be in a better mood after complaining, and he asked Lin Junxiong, "I heard that your brother died in the Battle of Wanjialing?" ”

"Well, the ashes have been escorted back by his fiancée, but I don't know what will happen to my father's mother?"

"Do you want me to grant you a month off and go back and see?"

"Big brother, when this national disaster is at hand, Junxiong doesn't want to ignore everyone because of his small family, wait until the war calms down, and then go back to excuse the second elder."

"Yes, the national crisis is at hand, and I haven't been with your sister-in-law and children for a long time, and they have now moved to Changsha."

"Big brother, Guiyang is much safer than Changsha, why did you move to Changsha?"

"The old lady didn't want to go, I originally thought that Guangzhou was not very peaceful, and I wanted to take the old lady to Guiyang, but when I went to Changsha, the old lady was sick, so I didn't want to go anymore, and your sister-in-law had no choice but to take the children to Changsha to live."

"Oh, that's it, big brother, when are you going back to Wuhan?"

"The Japanese army has not given up on Wuhan, and now the government agencies in Wuhan are withdrawing to Chongqing, and the people are even more panicked, and the Japanese army is ready to move, and Wuhan is in turmoil?"

"Big brother, what does the chairman mean, if Wuhan is lost, the Yangtze River will be completely lost, and China will be divided into two parts, north and south, and it will not be able to support each other, which is very unfavorable to the situation of the entire War of Resistance Against Japan?"

"Lao Jiang is still planning to defend Wuhan, but the troops invested in defending Wuhan are seriously insufficient, and Wuhan can't hold out for long."

"It seems that the chairman of the committee has decided to give up a large area of territory, and then take Chongqing as the center and the entire southwest as the rear for a long time."

"That's true, once Wuhan is lost, there is no natural danger in the Yangtze River, and the Japanese army can drive straight into Jiangxi, Guangxi, etc., and most of China will fall into the hands of the Japanese."

"Then big brother, what are your plans next?"

"What else can I plan, continue to command the Battle of Wuhan, if I really can't hold on and can only retreat to Hunan, Lao Jiang is not ready to leave me any position in Chongqing where I can enjoy Qingfu, and he will definitely let me stay on the front line all the time."

"Big brother, there is one more thing I want to ask, I see that other troops have been transferred, but why hasn't my 45th Brigade been transferred yet?"

"What's wrong, in a hurry? This is my order, I have already seconded your 15th Division to Dongchen under my command, and I have not transferred your position at present, I want to see how the Japanese attack first, and then see the situation to transfer you to a suitable position to supplement the defense. ”

"I see, then I'm relieved. Then, when I returned, I ordered the troops to be ready at all times and go out to carry out tasks at any time. ”

Xue Yue picked up the cup and found that there was no water, Lin Junxiong originally wanted to take a pot to add water to him, but found that there was no water in the pot, so he couldn't help but say: "Big brother, the orderly soldiers around you are too careless, they even forgot to boil the water for you, I will help you teach them a good lesson later." ”

"I can't blame them, I received a call from Lao Jiang, seeing that none of them were pleasing to the eye, I scolded them and told them to get out."

"The eldest brother is handsome, and he must also learn from those virtuous and famous generals in ancient times, be sympathetic to his subordinates, and don't lose his temper with them at every turn."

"Then you mean that the eldest brother can't be a virtuous general?"

"I didn't mean that, big brother."

"Haha" Xue Yue finally laughed, he saw Lin Junxiong's aggrieved look, and said: "Okay, I listen to your advice, for the sake of the name behind you, in order to be a famous general, the eldest brother will pay more attention in the future, and be a general who is sympathetic to his subordinates and loves soldiers like sons." ”

"When the eldest brother laughs, it proves that it's okay, and I'm relieved."

"Thank you, brother, when I was overwhelmed by Lao Jiang's training, I really wanted to let go of everything and go to the mountains and forests, but the Japanese invaders were rampant, as a Chinese soldier, I still couldn't let go. After chatting with you for a while, I feel much more comfortable. ”

"It's good that the eldest brother is fine, no matter how the chairman makes you unhappy, but to achieve a victory like the victory of Wanjialing, the whole Chinese people are applauding you, and the Japanese are timid when they hear your name, big brother, you think about these things more, there is no need to erect a wall for yourself, always on the painful side, and you can't see the other side of happiness."

"It makes sense, didn't I just get reprimanded a few words, and I didn't lose anything, why bother mediocrity, I should think more about the positive side of things, if I can win another victory like the Battle of Wanjialing, it doesn't matter if I let Lao Jiang train a few more times? Toshio's words really made me pause, go, I'll invite you to dinner, tossing yourself this day, and now I feel so hungry. ”
