Chapter 48 Unifying Thoughts
Ren Laifeng finally waited for the order from his superiors, but the order did not come from the First War Zone, but from the Military Commission in Chongqing.
There were two orders from the Military Council. The first was a promotion order, which directly promoted Ren Laifeng's military rank from lieutenant colonel to major general, and he still served as the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and at the same time appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas. The second order is a transfer order, and the Flying Tiger Battalion under the command of Lai Feng is transferred to the northeast to lead the military and civilians in the northeast to resist Japan!
Looking at these two orders, not only Ren Laifeng was dumbfounded, but even the generals of the Flying Tiger Battalion were also dumbfounded! Good guy, this time I was kicked from Henan to the Northeast! Is the Northeast so easy to go? It takes two days to walk by train, so how long does it take to walk on two legs? In particular, the Northeast is cold and freezing, can people who grew up in North China stand it?
"No! What does that mean? Our Flying Tiger Battalion has made such a great contribution, why don't we send people to the rescue, but let us break through and go to the northeast? I'm not going! Gu Dafeng, the commander of the company, who usually does not express his opinions much, was the first to raise an objection today.
"Yes, we're not going! Battalion commander, you send a telegram to Chief Tang. Didn't he promise to pick us up when he completed his mission? As the deputy commander of the war zone, how can he not speak without words? Is this sentence that there is no joke in the army false? How can a ruler change his order overnight? The second to jump out and make clear his opposition to the north was Li Lishan, the captain of the Independence Brigade, the former leader of the Dadao Society.
Zhou Lin, the new company commander, has never had an opinion, he will do whatever he wants, and it is the same today, standing there and looking at this and that, he himself didn't say a word. Deputy company commander Chen Zhongyi was scruples, and he didn't dare to say anything if he didn't want to. Fu Erchong, who spoke the most, got out of the company, and the others were not here.
Cai Gaofeng, commander of the artillery company, and Yao Wenlong, commander of the fast assault company, first, came late and had a shallow foundation, so they could not express their opinions casually. In addition, these two are both high-achieving students who graduated from the Central Military Academy and belong to the protégés of the Son of Heaven, and of course the two of them are not good at opposing the orders of the Military Commission.
And Lin Xincheng, the deputy battalion commander who is also a protégé of the Son of Heaven, didn't have so many concerns, he dared to think of something to say: "Who came up with this idea?" Does the Chairman know? Battalion commander, don't rush to give the order to break out, I'll send a telegram to my classmates in Chongqing. Let them find a way to ask the principal to report the situation of our Flying Tiger Camp to Principal Jiang......"
"Don't bother, New Town. Do you think this telegram can be sent without the Chairman knowing? In my opinion, it is very likely that this was the idea of the chairman himself! Ren Laifeng said this, and it was a mess below.
"Everyone, please be still!" Ren Laifeng pressed his hands falsely, and the field was instantly quiet, "Do you think it's unfair?" I also don't think it's fair. But is there anything fair in this world? Is it fair for devils to invade our China? Just as unfair! Let's stay in the first war zone is just to adapt to the climate a little bit and get a little familiar with the environment. Could it be that the Japanese are used to coming to China? ”
"Devils can get used to it when they come to China, and they can all survive, can't we survive in our own country? I tell you, we are an army of devils, and we will fight wherever we are! Whether it's in Henan, in the Northeast, or in Guangdong, you have to fight! As long as the devil doesn't surrender, we'll fight him to the end! If anyone is scared and doesn't dare to fight, bring it up now, and you can quit the Flying Tiger Camp! I will not force it! ”
"Well said! Battalion commander, I am willing to follow you to fight devils, even if I fight from the ground to the sky, I will follow you! If we don't beat the devil and surrender, we will not give up! ”
Ren Lai Shun's voice looked at it, it was Fu Erchong! The most difficult second company commander not only rushed back in time, but also publicly expressed his support for Ren Laifeng.
"Lao Ren, you ......"
"Battalion commander, I have long wanted to see the white mountains and black waters in the Northeast, and I have long wanted to taste the bear's paws and flying dragons in the Northeast. Hehe, this time I finally have a chance to feast! Fu Erchong spoke, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva to show that what he said was true.
Ren Laifeng and Fu Erchong have unified opinions, who can anyone else raise objections? Even those who openly objected just now also took action to ask Fu Erchong what was going on with the bear's paw and the flying dragon. The disagreement on whether to go north was finally satisfactorily resolved, and the generals of the Flying Tiger Battalion once again unified their thinking.
The main officers have unified their thinking, and the troops will no longer have to be mobilized before the transfer, and now there is no time. At the command of the Flying Tiger Battalion, the companies of the Flying Tiger Battalion moved quickly, avoided the enemy in front of them, and turned to the north. The Japanese troops guarding the banks of the Yellow River were ready to fight on both sides, but they did not fight on either side.
The Flying Tiger Battalion is no longer in the river, and the national army in the west of the river will not cross east to support. These devils who guarded the banks of the Yellow River lived a short and leisurely life.
However, everyone else can let the tiger camp go, but Yuichiro Muto is unwilling. The grudge between him and Ren Laifeng can be described as a deep grudge, and Muto Daisa never wants to see Ren Laifeng escape in this predicament. Not even to the north!
Yuichiro Muto flew to meet with the commander of the North China Front, General Okamura Ninji.
"Your Excellency General, Ren Laifeng is the murderer of General Yoshikawa! You can't let him go. Otherwise, we will be greatly disadvantaged if we are held accountable at home! I beg you to immediately mobilize a large army to encircle and annihilate the Flying Tiger Battalion! Catch the wind! ”
"Hmm. You have a lot of point. In this case, I give you the authorization, you have the right to ask the Japanese army in North China and the Imperial Allied Army to assist you in annihilating the Flying Tiger Battalion. "Okamura Ninji wrote a letter of authorization, stamped it with his commander's seal, and handed it to Yuichiro Muto.
Muto, who thought he had obtained the sword of Shang Fang, immediately ran to the Japanese military camp on the bank of the Yellow River, found his wing commander and showed a letter of authorization, demanding that the wing immediately follow his orders to act.
When the wing captain heard this, he gritted his teeth and smiled, "Muto-kun, the order I received is to guard the banks of the Yellow River. If you ask me to cooperate with you to fight somewhere else, then there must be a written order from a higher military commander. Otherwise, I would never have left the zone without permission! ”
"A higher-level commander? Isn't the order of the commander-in-chief of the front high enough? Yuichiro Muto, who was holding a power of attorney stamped with Okamura's Ninji stamp, was confused.
"Muto-kun, of course General Okamura's rank is high. But what are you taking? It's a power of attorney, not a military order. If you want my troops to be dispatched, you must have a military order! This is stipulated in military regulations. I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to carry out your orders. ”
Hey, it's not okay to hold the general's power of attorney? Yuichiro Muto didn't believe in evil yet, and he took the power of attorney and went to the brigade commander again. It took a lot of effort to find someone, and His Excellency the brigade commander asked him to go to the division commander. The devil kicked the ball and kicked Muto's head wide.
