"Ah, Yutong has returned to China? Why? ”

Liu Yizhang stood up and opened his mouth wide in surprise, he never dreamed that Wu Yutong would return to China.

Wu Xiangsen stood up and put his arm around Liu Yizhang's shoulder, and patiently explained, "Yizhang, Yutong refused to return to China at the beginning, I have to wait until you finish the battle and meet with you, I am worried that she will see you and play tricks with me, it will be even more difficult for her to return to China, I will be ruthless and force her to go, you are both young, and the future will be long!" ”

Wu Xiangsen naturally told Liu Yizhang the lie he had calculated with Wu Yutong in advance, and he observed Liu Yizhang's expression up close as he spoke.

Liu Yizhang really believed it, he felt unprecedented loss, lowered his head, and big tears fell on the table.

Wu Xiangsen saw that Liu Yizhang was sad like this, and instantly infected him, and he also felt that his nose was sour, he and Wu Yutong didn't want to deceive Liu Yizhang with all their hearts, but Wu Yutong was now unmarried and pregnant after all, they were afraid to tell Liu Yizhang the truth, so that Liu Yizhang was in a dilemma, whether to leave the child or beat the child is a difficult problem for Liu Yizhang to choose, if it distracts him, it is better to hide from the sky and cross the sea first, let Liu Yizhang command the war with peace of mind first, and then choose the opportunity to explain to him in the future.

"Yizhang, this is all my idea, if you want to blame me, blame me." Wu Xiangsen patted Liu Yizhang on the back and took the responsibility on himself.

Liu Yizhang felt that he was a little out of shape, after all, Wu Yutong returned to China because his aunt was sick and most likely seriously ill, and he was too narrow-minded to have a long relationship with his children, he quickly apologized to Wu Xiangsen, "Commander, I heard the news of Yutong's return to China, I was a little confused, I really lost my temper just now, it shouldn't be." Yutong returned to China to take care of her aunt is her filial piety, and I sincerely apologize to you. Commander, I'm sorry, I'm too selfish, besides, how is my aunt's condition? ”

Wu Xiangsen saw that Liu Yizhang was so reasonable, not only showing his deep love for Yutong, but also treating himself as the Wu family, and also related to Tang Ruoxi's illusory 'illness', Wu Xiangsen was very moved, and he said kindly, "Yizhang, you can think like this, I am very pleased, your aunt is guilty of asthma, and it is not a big problem." Go wash your face, I have a lot to talk to you about. ”

Wu Xiangsen saw that Yutong's incident finally fooled Liu Yizhang, and his heart suddenly felt a lot easier.

"Yizhang, the second thing I want to tell you is that it is also a great joy, I received a telephone call yesterday from Li Shaopeng, director of the Political Department of the Corps, who told me that Commander Peng Dehuai will personally come to Yichuan in the near future to visit and comfort the vast number of commanders and fighters of our 77th Army. After Liu Yan woke up after a while, I arranged for him to write a report on the Muluyuan Resistance Battle, and reported it to the Corps, the battle of Seed Mountain made you famous, and the Corps is more interested in you than the military department, Dong Zheng is now in the front-line command center, and he has been thinking about you, and he is anxious to transfer you to work next to him, what do you think? ”

"Commander, the last time I met Deputy Commander Dong, I did promise him to work by his side in the future. But during this time, I got along with the soldiers of the 535th Regiment in Seed Mountain, and I found that I was more suitable for leading troops on the front line, rather than working in an agency, especially now, Yutong left the Corps and returned to China, and I don't need to go to the Corps, I hope you can communicate with Deputy Commander Dong and let me continue to work by your side. ”

"Yizhang, you think the same, Dong Zheng's side, you don't want to go, I will do his job. Dong Zheng really likes you, and recognizes your character and combat command ability very much, in the first battle of Seed Mountain, you are famous in the Corps, and the leaders of the Corps are also impressed by you, the 77th Army has paid a huge price for fighting the Muluyuan Resistance Battle, you may have heard Chief of Staff Wang reveal to you the casualty ratio, we have destroyed more than 15,000 enemies, most of them are United Nations troops, the total casualties of the US army are less than 3,000, and nearly one-third of the 3,000 US troops were annihilated by you. Look at the casualties of our army, the whole army suffered more than 6,700 casualties, some regiments fought to the end with only more than 200 people, and many combat heroes and heroic companies emerged, the 535th regiment under your command suffered less than 30 casualties, and the enemy barely touched your fur. The well-equipped 25th Regiment of the U.S. Army, which has extremely high tactical literacy, has completely hurt and feared, and has been subdued, and you have made great contributions to the great victory that can be won in the final battle of Muluyuan! ”

"Commander, how did you arrange my next step?"

"Yizhang, your work will be implemented in the next two days, not only you alone, but more than 30 regiments of the 77th Army will have to be adjusted, mainly because the 77th Army will have plenty of time to rest and recuperate. As you can see, the Corps and the 'Zhi Division' arranged for us to rest in this deep mountain and old forest, mainly considering that the 77th Army has been fighting on the front line since it entered the DPRK, and although it rested for a period of time in April, the troops are still fighting on the front line, and considering that the 77th Army fought extremely fiercely in the Muluyuan Resistance Battle, the Corps has officially informed me that the 77th Army will rest and recuperate for a long time in the Yichuan area, replenish its troops, reorganize military affairs, and restore its vitality. I and other leaders of the military department have studied many times and decided to take advantage of this period of recuperation to popularize your experience in administering the army throughout the army and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the whole army, and have decided to promote you to the post of commander of the 535th Regiment, Li Wenzhong to be reappointed as political commissar, Shi Mingliang to be promoted to chief of staff, Qiu Wei to deputy regiment commander, Liu Yan to director of the political department, and cadres at the battalion and company levels to be nominated by you and reported to the Political Department of the Military Department for the record. ”

"Commander, this arrangement is the best, Li Wenzhong is still very suitable for doing ideological and political work, and during the years in Seed Mountain, we have cooperated very tacitly."

"Li Wenzhong, like you, was also picked up by me, he once worked as my secretary for two years, although the seed mountain resistance battle did not make much effort, but after all, he went all out to support your work. When I discussed with Dong Zheng, Dong Zheng did not agree with you to serve in the 402nd Regiment, he said that you and Wang Peng had already caused a lot of trouble in the city because of Mu Yan, and now they are taking his place, which is more likely to deepen the contradiction between you and him. I felt that Dong Zheng's words had some truth, so I changed my mind and transferred Li Chaoyin to the 402nd Regiment, Li Chaoyin led the 307th Regiment to guard the Lianchuankou Heights in this Muluyuan blocking battle, and fought for four days and four nights, during which the United Nations Army captured the heights, and that night he organized death squads to attack with platoons as units, and when a platoon ran out, he organized a death squad with companies as units, and after a night of fierce fighting, he finally recaptured the heights in the early morning of the next day, when the 307th Regiment was replaced, The whole regiment did not have a complete company, and there were only seven or eight people left in several companies, and it was the regiment with the most serious casualties in the Muluyuan Resistance Battle, and Li Chaoyin showed extraordinary courage this time, commanding from the front, but was also seriously wounded, and now he is being treated in the field hospital, and transferring him to the 402nd Regiment is also a kind of affirmation of him, and at the same time, he will make use of his advantages of running the army with an iron fist to eliminate Wang Peng's influence in the 402nd Regiment as soon as possible. After a few busy days, you accompanied me to the field hospital to comfort him, he admired you very much, when he was carried down from the battle line, the first thing he said when he saw me was to ask me for guilt, saying that if he had half of your Liu Yizhang's command talent, he would not sacrifice so many soldiers, this sentence touched me very much, and it also strengthened my determination to promote you exceptionally, what age, military age, seniority are all to hell, the 77th Army needs you like a regiment commander who loves soldiers like a son. As for Wang Peng, it is impossible to return to the 77th Army, and the investigation of his campaign in the Toxinli Campaign by the Political Department of the Corps has been concluded, and the conclusion is that there was a serious mistake in command, but he did not make a mistake of principle, but he was only given an intra-party warning, the work was not arranged for the time being, and the personnel and organizational relations had been transferred to the Corps. In fact, the review of Wang Peng by the Political Department of the Corps originally started with his life style, that is, the emotional dispute between him and your aunt, which also involved you. Yizhang, I would like to solemnly remind you now that in the army, there are two things that cannot be stepped on the high-voltage line, one is politics, and the other is the style of life. The importance of politics is self-evident, it is a hard indicator, there is no room for any turnaround, and the party's command of the gun is the foundation of our army's building. The style of life is a soft indicator, belongs to the category of morality, can be big or small, soldiers must be clean and self-loving, do not leave stains to give people a handle, this I am absolutely assured of you. Yizhang, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, it is the same everywhere, and the army is no exception, you are in the seed mountain, you are exhausted, bravely kill the enemy, and the sound of praise is endless, but at the same time, there are also some rumors that are very unfavorable to you, what Liu Jiajun, the third brother, the third sister-in-law, and the worship of the handle, these have almost become the logo of the 535 Regiment, and even said that you began to engage in an independent kingdom, which is a very dangerous signal, you have not been in the army for a long time, I don't know the powerful relationship, your starting point is to enhance the cohesion of the troops, It's not about small sects and independent kingdoms, but some people don't think so, especially Zhou Zhengkang, don't look at him usually praising you, holding you high, that's all superficial, once you have a handle in his hands, it will be a big trouble, the gentleman is harmonious and the villain is not in harmony. Of course, the soldiers of the 535th Regiment, especially those members of the Wushu Special Forces, have feelings for you, and it is okay to call you the third brother, but you must file with the Political Department in advance and explain the situation in advance, as for Liu Jiajun, you must not mention it again, you are a new party member, plus there are frequent wars, and you have too little understanding of the party's policies, you must keep in mind that there are some things that can be done but cannot be said, and some things can be said but cannot be done, that is, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do. To tell the truth, there are many people in the party, including in the military, who engage in sectarianism and mountaineering, but why can these people stand tall? That's because I have done what I just said, and I'll give you a simple example: within our party and the army, it is the habit of explicitly prohibiting comrades from worshipping each other, not to mention the more complicated clinging relationships between disciples, students, old friends, and so on. Your military command position at the Seed Mountain Command Post is a temporary position, and whether the soldiers call you the third brother, or call the troops under your command the Liu Family Army, or even worship in private, it is harmless, because the war is over, everyone goes their separate ways, which is completely different from your official appointment as the head of the 535th Regiment. I can tell you that the Political Department has installed discipline inspectors in every regiment, and these people will report to Zhou Zhengkang from time to time on the words and deeds of regimental-level commanders. So when you are promoted to the regiment commander, the first thing you have to do is to immediately remove these negative titles, of course I believe that the soldiers' feelings for you are sincere, the third brother and the regiment commander are just code names, why bother yourself? I will arrange for Li Wenzhong to do this for you, in the past two days, you will stay in the military department in addition to going to see your aunt, Chief of Staff Wang can be said to be attentive to you, you can communicate with him more, ask for more advice, I heard that you call him master in private, this is very good. In addition, you can help me find a correspondent to replace Liu Yan, it is better to have a higher level of education, not necessarily to the level of Liu Yan, but at least higher than Chang Mingwu. ”

"Commander, listening to your teachings just now is like an initiation. I suddenly understood a lot of truths, I am too naïve in politics, and my style of life is not rigorous enough, I will definitely strengthen my study in the future, and strive to improve my political and moral cultivation, to tell you the truth, when I was in the Seed Mountain, the soldiers called me the third brother, called Yutong the third sister-in-law, and played the name of the Liu family's army, not only did I not feel inappropriate, but also complacent, proud. Listening to you say this, it's really like child's play, it's a very immature performance, at this time I miss Yutong even more, if she is by my side, I will take a lot of detours, she is very sensitive to both political style and life style. ”

Wu Xiangsen nodded with a smile and praised, "Yizhang, you look at people's eyes very poisonous, and Yutong is indeed very talented in these two aspects. Your biggest advantage is that you can use people, everything is in your hands, and you will make the best use of your talents, such as Yutong, who has been by my side for so many years, and has never ignored it in the military, you are engaged in a martial arts special team in Seed Mountain, and her supervising army is doing her duty, which I couldn't even think of before! There is also Liu Yan, he has a problem with Yutong, he has no interest in military affairs at all, he is a war correspondent when he is a soldier, his father Mr. Liu Jingzu is an outstanding underground worker of our party, and he is also a senior lawyer, who has studied both Chinese and Western, and is very influential in the cultural circle of Beijing and Tianjin, although I have only one relationship with him, but I am quite impressed! Liu Yan is nominally a correspondent, in fact, he has always been my secretary, since I met you, he is like a different person, he runs with you to the position when there is nothing to do, Yutong's attitude towards him is much better than before, in fact, I have long found out that he is more loyal to you than to me, but Liu Yan is very smart, and his kindness to you is inconspicuous, which is just right. Yutong is right, Liu Yan is dead set on you, it is equivalent to being good to me, this time the military department has made a big adjustment to regiment-level cadres, Liu Yan is the fastest to be promoted, from the company level directly to the deputy regiment level, and even promoted to three levels, he knows very well that this is all because of you, this kind of thing can only be done and not said, we can only say it together, outsiders, including Liu Yan, can't say that you promoted him, so no one will say that Liu Yan is your confidant and student, but everyone knows in their hearts that he is your student and confidant, His military knowledge, including some of his life and behavior, is learned from you, not a student is better than a student, not a henchman is better than a henchman, this is politics! ”

"Commander, I want Liu Xingzhang or Liu Huizhang to replace Liu Yan to work by your side, they are both brought up by me since childhood, absolutely rest assured in character, I won't hide it from you, since they know my relationship with Yutong, they have special respect for Yutong, they know that if they make me angry, they will be scolded by me at most, and if they are angry, they will at least be beaten by me, so they are very good at doing things, and they make Yutong very happy all day long. Which of them is much more flexible than Chang Mingwu, but it is still a lot worse than Liu Yan, the level of education is really not high, and the principle is not as strong as Liu Yan, and at present, it can only be a general, Liu Xingzhang is extroverted, Liu Badge is introverted, my opinion is to let Liu Badge be your correspondent. I want to reorganize it into a special service company of the 535th Regiment, directly under the leadership of the regimental headquarters, Liu Xingzhang is the company commander, and the battalion commander of the first battalion is concurrently served by Qiu Wei, so that the cadre skeleton of the 535th Regiment is basically formed, although there are many recruits, but after the tempering of the seed mountain, and then after half a year of military training, I am confident that the 535th Regiment will become an invincible real iron army, and become the benchmark of the 77th Army and even the entire corps! ”

"Yizhang, everyone believes that you can do this, I said a long time ago, it is useless to let you govern a regiment, but you are now jumping up at the speed of a rocket, you are now the youngest regiment commander of the 77th Army, and the youngest regimental commander of the entire corps, you now have great ability to put it away, and the edge can no longer be revealed, or that sentence, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, you are under my nose, honestly working in the position of regiment commander for a few years, During this period, Dong Zheng and I will find an opportunity to arrange for you to study at the Nanjing Military Academy as soon as possible. After you are mature politically, militarily, and in interpersonal relationships, you will shine on the stage of the army, sharpen your knife and not chop wood, this is the truth, you need to precipitate and further study now! It's past five o'clock now, and I'm going to send someone to take you to the field hospital, where your aunt can't sleep for you these days. Don't come back tonight, stay in the field hospital and stay with her, and come back tomorrow after breakfast. ”

Liu Yizhang followed Chang Mingwu to speed up his horse and whip up, and after a bag of cigarettes, he came to the field hospital, which was full of tense and busy scenes......
