Like the telegram sent to the military commander, I received a telegram from the Xuesha Battalion in the morning, and the teaching corps, which was busy in the rear, was expanding and reorganizing the army, and now it has also been expanded into a single army, and the commander of the army is naturally Gui Shuzhen, who has just been promoted to a second-class general.

As a general who led the main force to defend the city this time and successfully broke through, Gui Shuzhen can now be said to be prosperous. The three combat brigades under his command were all expanded into divisions without exception. The subordinates who were earlier were naturally promoted along with him.

After receiving a telegram from the Snow Shame Camp early in the morning, Gui Shuzhen, who was resting, looked at the telegram and said in surprise: "What did the Snow Shame Camp do with such a telegram?" Is there a major staff officer named Lin Zhenyuan in the first regiment? ”

"Throne, there is! This time, we successfully broke through, and all the officers of the corps were promoted, and this person was also promoted to lieutenant colonel. He was in the letter of appointment you signed earlier, and now he should be the deputy commander of the first regiment of the expansion of the first brigade. ”

Hearing the adjutant's report, Gui Shuzhen thought for a while and said, "Well, hearing you say this, I really remember that there is such a person." By the way, the Snow Shame Camp sent such a telegram? Didn't say anything else? ”

"Nope! However, they mentioned in the telegram that their battalion commander greets you! ”

As soon as these words came out, Gui Shuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "The battalion commander of the Snow Shame Camp greets me? Well, I knew that kid wouldn't die so easily. Let's go, go to the newspaper office, I'm going to contact them personally. ”

Seeing Gui Shuzhen's face happy, the adjutant said with some surprise: "Junzao, do you know their battalion commander?" ”

"You know each other, too! But you must remember that this matter must not be leaked out, and you must really let the people on the military commander's side know that the news leaked out from our side, and you will suffer when the time comes. This one, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the future is immeasurable! ”

Faced with Gui Shuzhen's slightly serious admonition, the adjutant thought about it and suddenly said happily: "Military seat, is it Lieutenant Colonel Hu?" ”

"Just know it, don't make it public. Anyway, we were able to break through smoothly this time, and we owe this kid a favor. Most importantly, the commission is very important to him. Not surprisingly, this son will become a general in the army in the future. ”

In the past when there was no war, it was not possible for a young and bad-tempered officer like Hu Biao to develop in the army. But now is the war years, and from top to small, they attach importance to officers who have combat effectiveness and can fight.

The achievements of the Jinling Dead Soldiers Battalion in the Presidential Palace have indeed made countless anti-Japanese war troops embarrassed and shocked. Even if many generals are not convinced, it is an ironclad fact that they can cripple a Japanese division and kill a Japanese lieutenant general and major general.

Even if some generals are not convinced, they know very well that even if they have a division or even more troops, they may not be able to achieve such a record. Some people say it's luck, but it's not for everyone.

Changing to other generals, let them really gamble their luck, but I am afraid that the final result is likely to lose their lives and soldiers. Compared with those generals who complained about Hu Biao's slap in the face, Gui Shuzhen, the officers who broke through head-on, owed Hu Biao a favor.

Wait for Gui to call in person and ask Lin Zhenyuan, who was expanding the troops in the rear, to report to the military headquarters. Lin Zhenyuan, who received the notice from the division headquarters, also looked confused. I don't understand why Gui Shuzhen would personally call him to go to the military headquarters.

Fortunately, the division commander also smiled on the phone and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, don't worry, listening to the tone of the military seat should be a good thing." As for what a good thing it is, don't forget to tell me when you come back from the military headquarters. ”

"Yes, Master!"

Arriving at the military headquarters, seeing that Gui Shuzhen did not summon him at the headquarters of the military headquarters, but stayed in the telegraph room, Lin Zhenyuan became more and more confused. And the first thing Gui Shuzhen said when he saw him was to ask, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, do you have a sister?" ”

"Yes, three lowly brothers, and a younger sister who is studying in Shanghai. Junza, what's wrong with my lowly sister? ”

Looking at Lin Zhenyuan's somewhat excited expression, Gui Shuzhen quickly said: "The previous battle of Songhu, didn't you go home to take a look?" ”

"Nope! At that time, the war was urgent, and as a combat staff officer, how could he dare to abolish the public for personal reasons! ”

Listening to Lin Zhenyuan's words, Gui Shuzhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your sister went to Jinling City to look for you a while ago, but we were fighting. Later, she found the station of the teaching corps, and happened to be taken in by Major Liu Guotong of the original Fifth Regiment.

There is one thing, I hope you can mourn, the reason why your little sister went to Jinling to find you is because your parents were killed in the Japanese bombing. Fortunately, your sister is lucky to have successfully broken through with the troops left behind in Jinling, and she should be safe now. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhenyuan's head buzzed, and his tears suddenly couldn't be controlled: "Junzao, my father and mother were killed?" ”

"Yes! This is a letter from your sister by telegram, you can read it yourself. By the way, if you want to know more about your sister, wait for Colonel Liu in the Third Division, and he should tell you more about your sister.

In addition, in view of your performance in the breakthrough battle earlier, as well as your past achievements in training courses, I plan to assign you to the Third Division to serve as the chief of staff of the Third Division and the First Regiment, and the commander of the First Regiment is Colonel Liu Guotong, do you have any opinions? ”

"Thank you, Gunza! Obedience to orders! It's just a lowly job to know, where is my sister now? ”

As a soldier and on the battlefield, Lin Zhenyuan was indeed very sad to learn the news of his parents' murder. But he knew better that the younger sister, who was loved by his family, went to Jinling alone to find his eldest brother, but he was afraid that he had also suffered a lot of grievances.

As the saying goes, 'the eldest brother is like the father', and if his parents are not there, he, the eldest brother, must also take on the burden of taking care of the family. Although Gui told him that his sister was safe now, he still wanted to know about his sister Lin Yashi's situation.

Looking at Lin Zhenyuan, who was a little emotional but tried his best to restrain himself, Gui Shuzhen, as the army commander, secretly praised and comforted: "Your sister is safe now, although she is still in the occupied area, she can be with our troops fighting behind enemy lines."

This is a telegram she sent to you, and it should be said that a letter from home is more appropriate. If there's anything you want to say, tell the operator. Later, after reporting to the Third Division and the First Regiment, you will ask about the specific matter.

One thing I need to remind you is that things about your sister, as well as about her unit, must be kept secret and not disclosed to anyone. The unit she is currently in is very important to the commission, do you know what I mean? ”

"Yes, Commander, I understand!"

Although I was curious in my heart, what kind of army my sister was in, I had read the greeting telegram sent by Lin Yashi, and there were not many words on it. What's more, it was his sister who told him that everything was fine, so that he didn't have to worry about it.

But when he learned that his parents were killed and his sister went to Jinling alone to look for him but couldn't meet him, Lin Zhenyuan really felt very guilty. You must know that their family has a daughter of Lin Yashi, and the three brothers and their parents also love her very much.

is usually the pearl of the family, but now she has become a homeless person, and Lin Yashi knows how much pressure she is under. So much so that he quickly thought of Lin Zhenyuan, who called back, and asked her if she could come to the rear of Wuhan.

Faced with such an inquiry, Lin Yashi, who was sitting in the newspaper room waiting for a callback, thought for a while and said, "Sir, shouldn't we go to Wuhan now?" Please call my brother back, and just say that I am fine now and I don't want to go to the rear for the time being. ”

After carrying Lin Yashi to the newspaper room earlier, Hu Biao had already taken people to inspect the troops. Only Zhao Xian and Tian Tiezhu stayed in the newspaper room, and in the face of Lin Yashi's inquiry, both of them knew that the Snow Shame Camp would not go to Wuhan in a short time.

But they also knew that if Lin Yashi really decided to go to Wuhan, maybe Hu Biao would also send someone to send her there. If Lin Yashi really chooses like this, the two of them will also feel that it should be impossible for her to follow Hu Biao from now on.

At least one thing Zhao Xian and Tian Tiezhu know that Hu Biao should not go to the rear, and the most likely place for Hu Biao to appear is the front-line battlefield. Unless Lin Zhenyuan comes to pick him up in person or Lin Yashi wants to leave by herself, Lin Yashi can only stay in the Snow Shame Camp.

Listening to what Lin Yashi said, Zhao Xian thought for a while and said, "Miss Lin, have you really thought about it?" If you want to go to Wuhan, just tell the battalion commander and I think he will send someone to send you there. It's dangerous to stay here! ”

"It's okay! You can all stay here, why can't I? I won't leave unless you drive me away, and I'm going to fight devils with you and avenge my parents. Even if you can't go to the front, I can help you take care of the wounded. ”

"Pillar, what should I do about this?"

"You ask me? I don't know! Didn't the battalion commander say it earlier? According to Miss Lin's meaning, whatever she says, you can just send it. Even if Miss Lin is sent to the rear now, her brother can't take care of her, and her brother will have to go to the front line. ”

As far as Tian Tiezhu is concerned, he can see that Hu Biao still takes good care of Lin Yashi. As a subordinate, Tian Tiezhu thinks that Lin Yashi is also very good, if he can become Hu Biao's little daughter-in-law, Tian Tiezhu thinks it is also good, he is happy to see it.

If you want Lin Yashi to become Hu Biao's little daughter-in-law, the best way is to stay together often. The truth of love over time, a bachelor like Tian Tiezhu still knows. So from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Lin Yashi to go to the rear.

With Tian Tiezhu's words, seeing that Lin Yashi's attitude was very resolute, Zhao Xian didn't say anything more, and sent the telegram back according to Lin Yashi's meaning. Knowing his sister's decision, Lin Zhenyuan became more and more curious about what kind of unit his sister was in.

The brother and sister relied on the airwaves, and they had a rare opportunity to chat. Considering the importance of the radio, Lin Zhenyuan even had something to say to his sister, so he finally decided to go to the Third Division and the First Regiment to report first.

According to what he learned, the three brigades and five regiments attached to Liu Guotong stationed in the Purple Mountain Formation earlier should be the last unit to break through from Jinling, and they also participated in the earlier defense of the presidential palace.

By blocking the Japanese army and bringing back the remnants of the 3rd Brigade and 5th Regiment, Liu Guotong was promoted to two levels, from major to colonel. Even this time when the teaching corps was expanded into an army, he officially served as the commander of a regiment, and Gui Shuzhen also admired and trusted him.

From a deputy regiment commander to chief of staff, although the military rank has not changed, his position and power have become much greater. It's just that Lin Zhenyuan vaguely guessed in his heart that Gui Shuzhen gave him a new appointment, but he was afraid that it had something to do with his sister's unit!
