Chapter 67: Lin Xincheng is promoted
Gao Guixun, commander of the New Tenth Army, is suspected of defecting to the enemy, and he has already been arrested, and Ren Laifeng must report this matter to the central authorities. Gao Guixun, who wrote the "Fun" pavilion www.biquge.info had fought in the puppet army and surrendered, and his handling of him involved the big issue of uniting everyone to resist the war, unlike other cadres, Ren Laifeng had to report to the Central Committee.
This time, the Chongqing Military Commission reacted quickly, and Ren Laifeng sent the telegram to the telegram and received a reply within two hours. The speed of replying to the letter was so fast that Ren Laifeng wondered if the cipher code had been leaked, and it was a fake telegram sent by the Japanese. When he changed the spare cipher code and asked again, he learned that the telegram was indeed the decision of the Military Commission, so he believed it.
The content of the telegram was nothing else, but the Central Committee put forward its own opinion on the appointment of the commander of the New Tenth Army: Let Lin Xincheng, deputy commander-in-chief of the 49th Group Army, concurrently serve as the commander of the New Tenth Army, and at the same time appoint Lin Xincheng as vice chairman of the North Manchurian Military Committee.
This telegram once again confirmed Lin Xincheng's position as Ren Laifeng's deputy, but it did not mention that Lin Xincheng should also serve as the deputy commander of the Northeast Security. It is estimated that the central authorities also know that the post of deputy commander of the Northeast Security Department is too watery, and it is of little significance to do both, and this is also a practice to prevent dissatisfaction with Ren Laifeng.
In fact, the people of the Chongqing Military Commission really underestimated Ren Laifeng, and even if the Military Commission really appointed Lin Xincheng as the deputy commander of the Northeast Security, he would not be unhappy. Lin Xincheng, that is his old partner for many years. After countless battles side by side, Vice President Lin has long been regarded as a comrade-in-arms and brother by Ren Laifeng. Ren Laifeng is not angry when he promotes Lin Xincheng, if he really wants to transfer Lin Xincheng away, I am afraid that Ren Laifeng will be angry.
In fact, the vice chairman of the North Manchurian Military Committee is of little significance, but the position of commander of the New Tenth Army is a real position of real power. Ren Laifeng also considered which of his backbone generals to take over this position, but he couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it.
The appointment of the Military Commission just solved a difficult problem for him. Lin Xincheng served as the commander of the New Tenth Army, and no one would be unconvinced! At this point, Ren Laifeng felt that this appointment was just right!
Find Lin Xincheng and ask him to read the appointment telegram from the central government. As a result, Vice President Lin still had that expression, neither happy nor worried, neither overly happy, nor uneasy and other bad emotions, so he nodded and looked at Ren Laifeng, as if waiting for him to continue to instruct.
Ren Laifeng couldn't help it, and lightly punched Lin Xincheng, "I said Xincheng, this is the commander of the New Tenth Army and the vice chairman of the North Manchurian Committee, aren't you happy?" Can't you be excited about such a big event? ”
"Happy, I'm excited. Hehe. Lin Xincheng grinned and smiled, but this smile looked too reluctant, and it was more appropriate to say that he was not smiling!
"Forget it, just as if I didn't say anything." Ren Laifeng waved his hand weakly, and he was completely indifferent to people who rarely leaked this kind of emotion.
"General seat, Xiao Qingfa is trapped in Dustpan Mountain, can I be happy? The Military Commission gave me the appointment of the commander of the New Tenth Army and the vice chairman of the North Manchurian Committee, so it would be more affordable to give us 10,000 rounds of artillery shells! ”
"Airdrop 10,000 shells? What do you think? Want 10,000 shells to bombard us? Ren Laifeng looked at Lin Xincheng like a monster.
"I'm just giving an analogy." Lin Xincheng looked at Ren Laifeng helplessly, it was also a painful thing to have a super-imaginative chief. "However, it is really a headache for the troops led by Xiao Qingfa to be trapped in Dustpan Mountain. When will the New Tenth Army and the Mongol cavalry arrive? It really can't be done, so let me bring the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion to the front to support. ”
"Commander Lin doesn't want to take your troops to the front line? By tomorrow night at the latest, the New Tenth Army will definitely arrive! ”
"Is that true?" Lin Xincheng's face was instantly covered with surprise!
"There is no joke in the army, I am willing to make a military order!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. What general doesn't want to be with his troops? Although Lin Xincheng received a new-style education, from the second he knew that he had been appointed as the commander of the New Tenth Army, he was also eager to meet his troops and meet and chat with the officers and soldiers of the New Tenth Army.
The march of the New Tenth Army was even faster than Ren Laifeng had expected. Originally, he thought that he would not arrive until the evening of the next day, but just after three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the New Tenth Army drove outside the town of Tangyuan County.
Ren Laifeng and Lin Xincheng came out of the city with a large number of entourages. More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the New Tenth Army have gathered outside the city gate, and the boss is standing in the dark, looking boundless. As soon as the two coaches left the city, the sound of military music horns sounded in front of them.
"Boom, boom."
In the passionate military music, the three officers came out of the crowd, walked quickly to a place twenty or thirty steps away from the commander and stopped, and the three of them raised their hands at the same time to salute and report: "Liu Wenju, Liang Xing, Yu Tao, lead all the officers and soldiers of the New Tenth Army to see the commander-in-chief!" ”
"Division Commander Liu, Division Liang, and Division Yu have worked hard." Ren Laifeng rode his horse to ten steps away from the three people, turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and saluted back. Lin Xincheng took a step behind and saluted at the same time. After saluting, Ren Laifeng took a few steps forward and shook hands with the three of them from left to right.
Ren Laifeng finished shaking hands and replaced it with Lin Xincheng. Vice President Lin, it should be called Captain Lin now. Commander Lin shook hands with the three division commanders for a long time, especially when he shook hands with Liang Xing and Yu Tao, not only shook hands, but also introduced each other.
Liang Xing and Yu Tao knew halfway through that Lin Xincheng had been appointed by the Military Commission as the commander of the New Tenth Army, and the two of them had different feelings in their hearts.
Liang Xing originally thought that he had made a great contribution to countering the rebellion this time, would the position of commander of the New Tenth Army fall to him? Wasn't that how Gao Guixun's military commander came in the first place? Of course, his qualifications are a little worse, and Gao Guixun didn't really rebel this time, and it seems a little reluctant to put down the rebellion.
After receiving the news of the appointment, he was completely dead. Compared with Lin Xincheng, he is obviously nothing.
Liang Xing is in this mentality, and Yu Tao is surprised and delighted. was shocked because he was afraid of being settled by the Autumn Queen, and he didn't know if Lin Xincheng would investigate his position in the case of Gao Guixun's defection to the enemy; Happily, Lin Xincheng came to serve as the army commander, which is much stronger than Gao Guixun!
Commander Lin concurrently served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the group army and the vice chairman of the North Manchurian Military Commission. With Commander Lin, the New Tenth Army will no longer be raised by a stepmother from now on!
