Chapter 31: For the Allies
Earl Yoshida lost his temper when he received the order to withdraw his troops, and the orderly later proved that the Earl was so angry that he almost killed with a knife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, as an earl who always put the interests of the empire first, Yoshida still commanded the troops to withdraw from the battlefield on the same day.
Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the vast counties and towns and villages between Qiqihar and Harbin, resulting in Ren Laifeng having a large base area almost equivalent to a province after this battle.
To be able to liberate such a large area in just one month is an efficiency rarely seen in the country. After the news spread, the award of the Military Council followed. Medals like candy were being distributed all over the place.
All the generals under Ren Laifeng, regardless of whether they participated in the Qiqihar Battle or not, everyone received a medal. As the main general, Ren Laifeng won an unprecedented National Glory Medal. The Guangfa Medal was no longer enough to commend the merits of Ren Laifeng and his subordinates, and the chairman of the committee even promoted each officer of Ren Laifeng's department to a first-class military rank. Except, of course, any wind.
Ren Laifeng is already a second-class general, and if he is promoted, can he be promoted to a first-class general at the age of less than thirty? That's not a joke! Therefore, the promotion of the generals under Ren Laifeng is actually the biggest reward for Ren Laifeng.
The main division commanders such as Fu Erchong, Gu Dafeng, Huang Tian, and Yao Wenlong were all promoted to lieutenant generals. The head of the reconnaissance regiment, Ling Juzheng, made great contributions and was also promoted to lieutenant general. But his position changed, and the Military Commission appointed Ling Juzheng as the head of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau. The super-large reconnaissance team was directly transformed into the Northeast Intelligence Bureau. As for the reconnaissance units, each division and brigade has a special reconnaissance battalion reconnaissance company, which will not affect the daily military reconnaissance work.
The brigade commander could not be promoted to lieutenant general, but enjoyed the treatment of lieutenant general. Although Cai Gaofeng, commander of the artillery brigade, and Bayan, commander of the cavalry brigade, are still major generals, they receive the salary that only lieutenant generals should get on a monthly basis. Li Yunlong, the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion, also mixed with the rank of major general. He is probably the highest-ranking battalion commander in the country.
For the chairman of the committee to be so generous, Ren Laifeng is naturally satisfied. In return, Ren Laifeng held a press conference at the newly recovered Qiqihar City Hall. In front of reporters from all over the world, Commander-in-Chief Ren highly praised Chairman Chiang's great achievements in leading the military and civilians throughout the country to resist the Japanese invaders. said that it was under the personality of the chairman that he resolutely led the heroic division under his command to defeat the Japanese invaders and recover Hecheng.
The next day, the news of the press conference was on the cover of the world's major mainstream media, and the Central Daily even published a half-length photo of Ren Laifeng on the cover of the front page. Of course, as the main event, the content of Qiqihar's press conference was also published in full on the newspaper. The chairman's name has been mentioned 20 times.
Because of this, the chairman of the committee once again appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States and became a man of the times.
Ren Laifeng felt that since the chairman of the committee had given him so many rewards, it would be regarded as a courtesy for him to do something in return. Don't you know that what the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee is asking for is more than just the last newspaper and magazine? Of course, the chairman of the committee is happy to be in the limelight in front of the people of the whole world, but if you think that this will satisfy the chairman, then you think of the chairman too superficially.
Two days later, Ren Laifeng received a secret telegram from the Military Commission. There is only one content of the secret message: Ren Laifeng must find a way to go to the Fengtian prisoner of war camp to rescue a group of prisoners of war no matter what! In particular, there are two important figures, one is Jonathan, commander of the US military in the Philippines. Lieutenant General Wainwright; One was Arthur, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Malaya. Lieutenant General Percival.
These two generals were well-known in the Allied forces, and President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill were very concerned about their safety. For the common interests of the World Anti-Fascist Alliance, the Military Commission demanded that Ren Laifeng find any way to rescue these two people. Of course, it would be best if all the Allied officers and soldiers in the prisoner of war camp could be rescued. If not, then these two generals must also be saved.
To save people, of course Ren Laifeng is not afraid, but it is another thing to save foreign devils. Of course, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he must have known about the help of the US military to China. Alliance, you provide us with weapons, help us train soldiers, send flight teams to aid China, and we will help you drag down the Japanese army, entangle the Japanese army, and let the Japanese army leave bullets and shells on Chinese soil.
In any case, in the anti-fascist war, China and the United States have common interests, and we are comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. As comrades-in-arms, it is also our duty to rescue you from the prisoner of war camp, who let the devils imprison these big men in the Northeast? But it doesn't benefit at all, and it's not a style of letting the wind come to the wind. Anyway, let's wait until we get people out.
Ren Laifeng decided to save people. This matter is mainly left to the stunned. He is now the chief of the intelligence bureau, and it is officially within the scope of his responsibilities to inquire about intelligence and conduct a small-scale military operation.
After giving the task to the stunned, Ren Laifeng made a request: he also had to go to Fengtian to participate in saving people.
"Huh? Boss, you're not joking, are you? His stunned mouth almost didn't reach his ears, "You are now a second-class general!" If this spreads, how will you let me meet people in the future? Don't say it's you, even I don't plan to go to Mukden in person. What do we do with so many intelligence officers? They're the ones who work. If you're going to go in person, then you're going to ......."
"Alright, you don't have to say any more!" Ren Laifeng interrupted the new intelligence chief with a vertical palm, "I've already decided, I have to go to this matter, you can start arranging!" He was stunned and didn't dare to raise any more objections. Before there is no formal order, the two of them can discuss it, once Ren Laifeng puts on an order, who dares to disobey? Anyway, I didn't dare.
Makeup, into town. Shenyang, Manchukuo was called Mukden. Ren Laifeng wore a horse coat on the outside, a cotton robe on the inside, a dark narrow-brimmed top hat on his head, and a pair of sunglasses on his nose.
Feng Wenying wore old makeup, her hair was coiled, a hairpin made of bones was inserted, and she was wearing a dark gray cotton robe with broken flowers. Although her face looks young, with this outfit, she looks like a middle-aged and elderly woman in her forties and fifties.
This kind of dress for two people is the most common outfit. Walking on Fengtian Street, at the end of a street, you will inevitably see a pedestrian dressed similarly.
