Chapter 47: The Fate of the Flying Tiger Battalion
"Chief Mingsan, I have good news for you, the Flying Tiger Battalion has successfully assassinated Yoshikawa Sadasa!" As soon as Tang Enbo met, he first reported this great news to Jiang Dingwen.
"Oh, did the Flying Tiger Battalion? Wow! Where is the Flying Tiger Camp? I'm going to meet them in person and give them awards! Jiang Dingwen already knew that Yoshikawa Sadazo had been killed, but he just didn't know who killed the emperor's nephew. The war of words between Song Ziwen and the Japanese Foreign Ministry at the League of Nations is still going on, and Jiang Dingwen, as the supreme military and political chief in the place where the incident occurred, has already sent a telegram to ask him who did the matter.
"Ren Laifeng and the Flying Tiger Battalion are now trapped east of the Yellow Flood Area and are in urgent need of rescue. Third Brother Ming, should we send some people over to pick them up? ”
"Are they still in Hedong? In this way, salvation must be saved. However, because of this incident, Song Ziwen is fighting a lawsuit with the Japanese in the League of Nations. Whether it can be saved or not, and how to save it, you can allow me to ask the chairman for instructions. ”
As the commander of the theater, Jiang Dingwen may not have a good military command ability in the Anti-Japanese War, but his political vision is definitely not bad. Since this matter has already made a big fuss, even if the Flying Tiger Battalion crosses the Yellow River, he must report to the chairman of the committee as soon as he knows the situation.
Tang Enbo didn't leave, just sat and waited at the headquarters of the war zone commander. When the telegram was sent to Chongqing, the chairman of the committee was overjoyed, and then frowned. After thinking about it, the chairman of the committee called his right-hand men Chen Cheng and He Yingqin to the office, and he wanted to hear what these two confidants and generals meant.
Chen Cheng and He Yingqin understood what was going on as soon as they heard it. In this matter, Ren Laifeng must have made a great contribution. But this person is neither Chen Cheng's civil engineering department, nor does he belong to He Yingqin's system, so it can be said that he has nothing to do with the two of them.
The most important point is that after receiving the telegram, the chairman did not immediately order Jiang Dingwen or Tang Enbo to send someone to rescue the flying tiger, which shows that the chairman has ideas in handling this matter. In that case, why did the two of them take the liberty to take a stand?
"The heroic feat of the Flying Tiger Battalion, Ren Laifeng is really a good general of the party and the state! I believe that the chairman of the NPC National Committee should vigorously commend those who have made meritorious contributions, vigorously publicize the combat bravery of the Flying Tiger Battalion and Ren Laifeng throughout the country, and let all the people see the achievements of the national army! Let the Chinese people firmly believe in the victory of our country's War of Resistance from the heart! ”
Chen Cheng first delivered an enthusiastic speech, which made Chairman Jiang nod his head again and again. Boost the morale of the military and civilians across the country and cheer up the people! These words are deeply in line with the heart of the chairman.
"Uh-huh, yes, rhetoric is very good! Jingzhi, what do you think about this matter? ”
"I don't think the rhetoric is entirely accurate. The Flying Tiger Battalion killed not ordinary Japanese generals, Yoshikawa Sadazo was not only the head of the five provinces of the Japanese army, but also the nephew of Emperor Showa of Japan. It can be said that the death of Yoshikawa Sadazo has caused a shock in the Japanese government and the opposition! ”
And Ziwen fought with the Japanese in the League of Nations because of this incident. I believe that we should take this opportunity to promote the Flying Tiger Battalion to the international community and let international friends know the combat capability of our army! ”
"Uh-huh, Keiyuki said it better!" The chairman of the committee gave He Yingqin a thumbs up, causing Chen Cheng on the side to roll his eyes.
"Then tell me, should you let Ming San and Keqin send someone to take over the Flying Tiger Battalion over the Yellow River?"
Should it be? After such a heroic unit and a meritorious general were trapped after their deeds, isn't it natural for this side to send a large army to receive the heroes back to the team? What's wrong with this? What does the chairman mean by that?
He Yingqin and Chen Cheng glanced at each other, and both of them had a kind of realization in their hearts. The two of them know Lao Jiang too well, so to speak, if their master says a word casually, the two of them can know what Jiang is thinking in someone's heart.
This time, it was He Yingqin who said first: "There are advantages to crossing the river and crossing the river, but the river has the advantages of not being able to cross the river." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The chairman looked at He Yingqin with interest.
Who knows, He Yingqin kicked the ball to Chen Cheng at this critical moment, "The rest is up to Cixiu." ”
Chen Cheng was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave, but under the burning gaze of the chairman, he couldn't do so. scolded He Yingqin for being despicable and cunning, and he had to explain He Yingqin's words in front of the chairman.
"Crossing the river, we protected the Flying Tiger Battalion, a combative force, and also protected Ren Laifeng. A famous general has been added to Ming San's first war zone. It is beneficial to the great cause of our country's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. However, if the river is concerned, then it is necessary to formulate a direction for the Flying Tiger Battalion to break through and set combat goals for them. ”
"Since Ren Laifeng even killed the heads of the five provincial secret agencies in Kaifeng City, it can be seen that he and his Flying Tiger Battalion are good at small-scale operations, or guerrilla warfare. As long as there is a direction, it should be no problem to break through. We can treat the Flying Tiger Battalion as an arrow unit and put them in places where the situation is more complicated and the conditions are more difficult, so that their characteristics can be brought into better play. It is also more conducive to the growth of the Flying Tiger Battalion. ”
"Then, in which direction is it better for the Flying Tiger Battalion to break through?" The chairman of the committee seemed to be talking to himself, and it was as if he was asking He Yingqin and Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked at He Yingqin, this time it was time for Chief He to express his opinion, right?
He Yingqin didn't shirk it, the confrontation between him and Chen Cheng, especially in front of the chairman of the committee, was to the point, and it was not appropriate for anyone to go too far.
"The first theater includes Henan and Hebei, and if the Flying Tiger Battalion breaks through to the north, the north will be all enemy-occupied areas. Beiping, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou and other large cities all fell to the hands of the Japanese invaders, and a large number of bipartisan guerrillas were active in the countryside. The Flying Tiger Battalion went there only to add a guerrilla force, and it did not make much difference. ”
"If you want to go north, then cross the Great Wall and go directly to the northeast where the Japanese Kwantung Army is entrenched! Putting the Flying Tiger Camp in the Northeast is equivalent to inserting a needle in the heart of the Japanese! If you want to break through to the south, then go to Xue Yue's Ninth War Zone. Xue Boling will definitely be happy to add another tiger general who can fight habitually. ”
"Xue Boling? Hmph, are there still fewer tiger generals who can fight in his ninth war zone? The chairman snorted angrily, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Xue Yue, but in fact, how could he have an opinion on Xue Yue? Xue Yue's elite soldiers and strong generals were not personally transferred by Chairman Jiang one by one?
"Letting the Flying Tiger Battalion go to the northeast is of great benefit to the situation of the anti-Japanese war in the whole country, but it cannot chill the hearts of meritorious soldiers. I believe that the chairman of the NPC National Committee should vigorously commend all the officers and men of Ren Laifeng and the Flying Tiger Battalion. To comfort the hearts of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War. ”
"The rhetoric is reasonable!"
Chen Cheng finally pulled back another game in the end. Looking at He Yingqin's stunned appearance, his heart was as happy as eating a cream ice cream on a dog day.
