A few days later, Lin Xincheng came to the ward to visit Ren Laifeng, and at the same time brought the statistics of the results of the Battle of Dulbert's Palace. In this battle, more than 600 Dulbert banner soldiers were killed and wounded, and 34 members of the Japanese military advisory group were killed, including one each of the major and young officers, and seven officers of the rank of captain. More than 1,000 flag soldiers were captured. The guerrillas lost nearly 200 killed and wounded more than 500, including nearly 100 seriously wounded.

In addition, countless money and materials were seized, totaling more than 10 million yuan. The Prince's Palace of Durbot has been preserved in its entirety. After Lin Xincheng received Ren Laifeng's order, he left the sharp knife detachment in the prince's mansion as a guard force, prohibiting unrelated people from entering the mansion to rob and loot money.

Ren Laifeng was naturally satisfied with Lin Xincheng's stability, and at the same time, he also told Lin Xincheng about the situation reported a few days ago: The people of the military command want to meet with us, you should first contact them and see what the military command means. If it's not important, you can just step in!

Lin Xincheng has been in contact with Chongqing, and Ren Laifeng has taken a tacit attitude towards this. This time, he was given the task of receiving the military commander, and he chose the right person. In this regard, Lin Xincheng naturally has no reason to refuse.

Two days later, Lin Xincheng brought the news of his meeting with the military commander. Under the instruction of the commander-in-chief, Deputy General Lin and Feng Zicai, the head of the Fengtian Station of the Military Commander, had a secret meeting.

Feng Zicai congratulated the Northeast Anti-Japanese guerrillas on their victory in the Wangfu Campaign, and at the same time explained that he had reported the situation of the campaign to the Central Committee. Feng Zicai asked Ren Laifeng to sort out the details of the campaign as soon as possible and report it to the Central Military Commission, so that the central authorities could commend and award meritorious personnel according to the actual situation.

This requirement is reasonable, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a piece of kindness from others, and Ren Laifeng naturally fully accepts it.

Another reason why Feng Zicai asked for this meeting was about the skull of the national treasure, Pekingese. The military commander has learned through other people's channels that the skull of the Beijing people has fallen into the hands of Ren Laifeng, Feng Zicai came to ask Ren Laifeng, when do you plan to return the national treasure to the country? Do you need the help of the military commanders?

Ren Laifeng glanced at Lin Xincheng, and Vice President Lin's face turned red. Ren Laifeng hesitated, but still waved his hand to let Jin Haitang and Xiaoqing wait outside, and he didn't want Lin Xincheng's embarrassment to be seen by others. Even if the other person is a woman close to him, it doesn't work.

"Commander-in-chief, I really didn't leak the news of the national treasure to the military commander, I swear, I never said anyone!"

"Xincheng, don't get excited, I never said I didn't trust you. I know that you have contacts with the central government and the military command, but you still won't tell them all the secrets about our troops. I never doubted that! ”

Lin Xincheng is an upright person. He may not be able to tolerate certain crooked ways and unhealthy tendencies, and he will also report some information to the military commanders behind his back, but the information that leaks out through his mouth is definitely not the most confidential information of the guerrillas. Ren Laifeng knew this, otherwise how could he ignore it.

Lin Xincheng's tears swirled in his eyes, but they didn't fall in the end. Although he was very touched by Ren Laifeng's trust, it could be seen that Vice President Lin's psychological pressure was not small.

"Okay Xincheng, don't think about that mess. Now let me ask you, if the national treasure is handed over to Feng Zicai, can he escort the national security back to the capital safely? After the national treasure arrives in Chongqing, will it be intercepted by some people and stored as an heirloom? Or even say that it will change hands and then sell it to the Japanese? If these Feng Zicai can't guarantee it, why should I hand over the national treasure to him? ”

"Commander-in-chief, you, do you really intend to return the Peking skull to the state?" Lin Xincheng looked at Ren Laifeng and couldn't believe it, but he knew how hard Ren Laifeng had worked to get this national treasure.

"Tsk, if I don't hand it over to the country, will I keep it as an heirloom? What's the use of keeping something like a Peking Man skull for myself? I don't dare to sell it, and I have to prevent thieves from stealing it if I keep it, and it's not hard enough to keep it. ”

Lin Xincheng also smiled. There were still tears in his eyes, and he felt inappropriate to laugh at this time, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

"Since the commander-in-chief has a heart for the country, Xincheng does not want to fall behind. Let's do this, if the commander-in-chief can be trusted, I am willing to personally escort the national treasure into the capital! I will personally show the National Treasure to the National Treasure and see it on display in the National Museum! I will bring back the photos of the first exhibition site for the commander-in-chief to review! ”

Looking at Lin Xincheng with a solemn face, Ren Laifeng was also a little slightly moved in his heart. This is the soldiers of this era, who are willing to sacrifice everything they have for the sake of this poor and weak country not to be enslaved by the Japanese invaders, and for the continuation of the bloodline of China!

"Huh, Xincheng, I agreed to your request. However, I also have a request that you must obtain. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to you escorting the national treasure into the capital! Ren Laifeng looked at Lin Xincheng with a firm gaze.

"If the commander-in-chief has something to say, please speak in person." Lin Xincheng swallowed and foamed, he didn't know what Ren Laifeng would ask.

"You escort the national treasure to accompany the capital, and no one knows how many dangers you will encounter along the way. Now our country is in the war years of the Japanese invasion, and it is almost certain that we will encounter danger! Xincheng, I ask you, no matter what danger you encounter, the national treasure must not fall into the hands of foreigners; No matter what danger you encounter, you must come back alive! ”

"Commander-in-chief, I, I, promise to complete the mission!" Lin Xincheng's tears finally flowed, and he heard a deep concern from Ren Laifeng's words. People not only care about the national treasure, but also care about the safety of Talin New Town!

Lin Xincheng left, and as soon as Ren Laifeng got to the ground, he took the national treasure Peking skull to accompany the capital. In addition to the military commanders, Ren Laifeng also sent Niu Hei and Xizi with twenty soldiers to accompany him. The task that Ren Laifeng gave to these two people was the request he made to Lin Xincheng on the hospital bed that day. The national treasure cannot fall into the hands of foreigners, and Lin Xincheng must come back alive.

Lin Xincheng was sent away, and the work of the guerrillas returned to the normal track. The integration and transformation of the thousands of flag soldiers captured from the Prince's Palace is still in progress. Lin Xincheng did not assign these 1,000 people to various detachments, he gathered all these people for training, not only military skills training, but also cultural courses.

There are quite a few illiterate soldiers in this thousand banners, and in Lin Xincheng's words, he wants to train these people into qualified recruits who know how to read and write, and then hand them over to various units.
