Yang Jing cursed the eighteenth generation of the system's ancestors again in his heart, and then said to Ma Haifeng, who was on standby: "Ma Haifeng! Immediately notify the officers above the platoon level to come to the battalion headquarters for an emergency meeting! ”

"Yes!"

Ma Haifeng straightened up, and immediately took the order to leave.

After a short time, the officers above the platoon level of the Huben battalion arrived one after another, and each found their own place to sit down.

Yang Jing looked around and found that except for Fan Tietou, the commander of the second company, everyone else had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said abruptly: "Just now, the chairman of the committee sent us an order, which roughly means that we should leave Jiading and go to Kunshan to take the train back to Nanjing to garrison.

This appointment is in my hands. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jing passed the message in his hand.

Deputy battalion commander Ma Haifeng had already seen it, so it was directly passed to the first company commander Bi Yuntao.

After everyone finished reading it, Ma Tong, the commander of the guard platoon, took the lead in speaking: "Battalion commander, this is a good thing!" It shows that the committee takes a fancy to us and doesn't want us to be cannon fodder on the front line.

After all, this Songhu battlefield is a huge meat grinder, and no matter how powerful my tiger camp is, it won't splash a little bit if I throw it in. ”

Ma Tong was very shrewd, so he could see the chairman's mind at a glance and said it bluntly.

"A good thing?" Yang Jing looked around: "Is it a good thing that you guys are also lifting?" ”

Everyone was silent, because they read a different taste from Yang Jing's eyes and tone.

After a while, Yang Jing said: "As soldiers, what is our responsibility? ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Yang Jing continued: "Our responsibility is to protect the family and defend the country!" Defend the territory!

It is true that, in accordance with the instructions of the chairman, our battalion retreated to the large rear garrison of Nanjing, and indeed escaped from the fighting and saved its life.

However, the glory of my tiger camp is that thousands of soldiers fought bloodily with the Japanese in Baoshan, and exchanged their lives for it!

If we flee the front line now and go to Nanjing to garrison, what is the difference between that and being a deserter?

How can they be worthy of the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in battle?

The glory of my Tiger Camp was obtained by bloody battles on the battlefield, and it should naturally be passed on on the battlefield! ”

Yang Jing's face was full of righteous indignation and impassioned, but in fact, he kept scolding MMP in his heart.

Everyone present didn't know, and the fact that they had just won a big victory made them even more confident.

So, they all listened to it with a burst of enthusiasm.

The commander of the artillery company rake his ears and took the lead in speaking: "The battalion commander is right, as a soldier, if we die on the battlefield, that is our destination!"

If you were afraid of death, you wouldn't have chosen to join the army in the first place! ”

Soon, the words of the rake ear were unanimously agreed by everyone, and they all spoke: "Battalion commander, you say, what you let us do, we will do it!" ”

"Good!" Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, immediately picked up a baton, stood up and walked slowly to the wall, pointed to the huge combat map on the wall, and said: "Now the frontal attack of the Japanese army has been bravely blocked by our soldiers and soldiers, and it has been unable to open up the situation for a long time.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the Japanese army will increase its forces again. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jing pointed his baton to the area around Hangzhou Bay and continued: "If the Japanese army increases its troops again, it is very likely to land from Hangzhou Bay and other places to threaten and cut off our army's westward retreat.

Therefore, I decided to lead you to Songjiang County to fortify in advance! ”

Deputy battalion commander Ma Haifeng said with some concern: "Battalion commander, your worries are not unreasonable, and you are completely willing to obey your orders. It's just that the stakes are high, should we report it to the higher authorities first? ”

Yang Jing nodded: "Well, I will report this matter to the Commander's Department and the Command Department of the War Zone, and get their orders!" ”

……

After the meeting, Yang Jing immediately sent a telegram to the Theater Commander's Department and the Command, first analyzing the current situation, and then rejecting the appointment of the chairman.

And took the initiative to ask to go to Songjiang City to arm in advance.

As soon as this telegram was sent, it immediately caused a shock in the headquarters of the theater commander, and Chen Cixiu, commander-in-chief of the theater, immediately convened an emergency military meeting on the matter.

The chairman of the committee who was far away in Nanjing also frowned, and in all fairness, Yang Jing's reaction still made him very happy as a leader.

Although Yang Jing disobeyed the order, it was not because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because he wanted to return to the front line and serve the country.

It's just that the chairman of the committee is reluctant to let this tiger battalion go to the front again. Because, for the overall strategy, the current Huben camp has become a banner in the minds of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians across the country, and as long as this banner does not fall, it will bring endless benefits to the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War.

As for the Songhu battlefield, hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Central Army have been sent, and there are not many tiger battalions without him, and there are not many tiger battalions with him.

After all, although the Tiger Battalion is powerful, it is not a strategic force that can completely turn the tide of the war.

Therefore, instead of throwing the Tiger Battalion to the front line, it is better to let them retreat to a safe place and serve as a spiritual benchmark and an anti-Japanese banner.

Wang Shihe saw that the chairman of the committee was worried, and said: "Commission, let's not care whether Yang Jing's worries will come true, and whether the Japanese army will increase troops from the Hangzhou Bay area.

But at least the current Puxi and Songjiang areas are absolutely safe rear, even safer than Jiading.

Even if the war is tight in the future, the Huben battalion can retreat to Hangzhou, Huzhou and other safe areas at any time.

Therefore, why don't we fulfill Yang Jing's loyalty, and by the way, raise the prestige of the Tiger Camp to another level! ”

"Makes sense!"

The chairman nodded his head in disapproval, and then said: "Yang Jing's loyalty is indeed commendable, since this is the case, then temporarily agree to let him go to Songjiang to garrison."

In addition, Yang Jing's worries are not unreasonable, and the current situation in Songhu is generally in a state of stalemate. In order to upset this balance, it is highly likely that the Japanese army will increase its forces again.

If it is really as Yang Jing expected, the Japanese army will land from the area of Hangzhou Bay and copy the back of our army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, you send another telegram to Chen Cixiu, and ask him to send a powerful army to Hangzhou Bay, Jinshanwei and other places together with the Huben battalion to set up a royal palace, so as to make a foolish plan! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Shihe wrote them down one by one, and then took the order to leave.

……

The 3rd Theater Commander's Department.

The emergency military meeting is still ongoing.

Among them, the high-ranking officers of the 15th Group Army headed by Luo Youqing believed that Yang Jing's worries were not impossible, and felt that they should send an effective force to move to the area of Hangzhou Bay and Jinshanwei.

However, the top brass of the 8th Group Army headed by Zhang Xianghua believed that Yang Jing's worries were completely unfounded, and even if the Japanese army increased its troops, it would be from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

While the two sides were arguing, a communications staff officer suddenly hurriedly barged in from outside and read out the telegram sent by the chairman from Nanjing.

With the chairman's decision, things will be much easier.

The content of the next conference will become the matter of which troops will be sent to defend Hangzhou Bay.
