The spirit of the six companies of the two recruit battalions surprised Zhang Yichun very much, the Anti-Japanese War lasted for several years, and most of the troops that could be used in the first class were disabled, and then rebuilt. Although it is said that the spirit of the various units has not been leaked to the end, it is rare to see it anymore. If you really compare the lineage of the Central Army, or the trump card in the hands of the chairman, the teaching corps of that year may be comparable to it, but it is a pity that the teaching corps has already merged with the 46th Division, and the former iron army has long been a term.

This surnamed Sun Yumin really has two brushes, and he does have one hand in leading the troops, no wonder so many Japanese elites have planted a heel in his hands. Zhang Yichun was originally a little curious about this scar-faced young man, but now he has more appreciation and respect. He was about to ask Sun Yumin a few words, but he was attracted by the sudden boiling crowd on the sidelines, and when he saw Sun Yumin and Ou Shounian they all stood up and looked, he also stood up and looked at the place where the crowd was flocking.

There was a poplar shop in front of him, and not only the soldiers of the first company were excited, but even Dai Cunxiang was too, but he did not lose his senses, and shouted loudly again: "Each platoon and each squad counts its own number and reports in order." ”

The same sentence, how many times Dai Cunxiang said it along the way, he couldn't remember it clearly, and the entire company was tightly gathered by his words, and no one was left behind.

"All in one class!"

"The second class is all here!"

"All three classes are here!"

"All four classes are here!"

"There are four squads and forty-nine people in a row, all of them are there!"

"All five classes are here!"

“……”

It wasn't until the third platoon commander reported that all the members had arrived, Dai Cunxiang put his mind at ease, he had already counted the seven people in the company, a total of 154 people in the company, all of them arrived, entered the playground, and crossed the white line that had confused him in the morning. He is very shrewd, and he will not be stupid enough to want to win all five competitions, he only wants to win three, and let Li Tianxi and Dong Wenbin grab the other two.

From the moment they entered the village, there were many people applauding and giving them a thumbs up along the way, and many children ran along with the team.

Although there are many soldiers of the second and third companies scattered more than the first company, but this time it must be the first company that is in the limelight, Dai Cunxiang also felt high-spirited, he shouted loudly to the soldiers of the first company: "The first company, take out your spiritual head, let the villagers see what the sharp knife company of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment looks like." Listen to me, and everyone will answer loudly. ”

Dai Cunxiang's words were like a slap in the face, which made the soldiers of the company, who were already excited, even more excited.

When he said "What's the company?" After the call, the entire company of one hundred and fifty-three people shouted at the same time: "Sharp knife! ”

"What's a company?"

"Sharp knives!"

……

In this neat and loud slogan, the company entered the playground collectively and stepped over the finish line of the white and gray painting.

Dai Cunxiang originally wanted the troops to cross the finish line and rest on the spot, but when he saw the Venus shining on the viewing platform, and there was a **lieutenant general and a **major general, he changed his mind and led the troops to walk slowly around the playground track twice, which was considered to relax the soldiers.

Zhang Yichun never imagined that Sun Yumin would have such a force under him, after running for more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, it was still a whole, from their slogan, he could hear that this should be the trump card in Sun Yumin's hands, the word sharp knife is not something that can be taken on though, according to the consistent experience, the sharp knife company is really piled up with blood and life, and the company in front of him who is slowly walking around the playground can be felt visually, it is a force that cannot be broken and dragged down.

"General Sun, this company of yours is amazing, I see that Zhang is itching, otherwise, I brought a guard battalion and a baggage battalion, how about exchanging these two battalions for the soldiers of your company?"

Zhang Yichun is not an idiot, as an officer who has led the army for more than ten years, how could he not know how much effort it takes for such a company to lead, teach, and guide, so that there will be such a military appearance and military discipline, and with such a military appearance and military discipline, the combat effectiveness will definitely be strong and terrifying. It was precisely because of this that he had the whimsical idea to exchange two battalions for the soldiers of this company.

"Commander Zhang laughed, Sun's little thing is not on the table, where can it be compared with your elite generals, don't make fun of Yumin anymore."

Sun Yumin will not covet other people's things, and others don't want to get benefits from him, and a sentence of the scene pushes this unreasonable request far away.

Zhang Yichun expected that he would be rejected before opening this mouth, but if this company was from the 48th Army, he would have the same attitude when others opened this mouth.

"What a good company." Zhang Yichun's praise was indeed from the bottom of his heart, and he continued: "General Sun, the officer with this company is not a simple character, and I probably won't agree to let you cut your love, if you have the opportunity, let him help me train some grassroots officers in the 48th, do you think this is good?" ”

"Commander Zhang really has good eyesight, he was a deputy regiment commander I took with me when I was in the 20th Division. I shouldn't have refused this request from Commander Zhang, but my side is now limited to training new recruits, and I am lacking a military backbone, so I may not be able to distract and devote my energy to help this for the time being. When Sun Yumin said this, he could obviously feel the disappointment of Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian, and hurriedly said: "When our department is busy for a while, Sun will definitely send a few capable officers to help the 176th Division train some backbones." ”

After hearing this, Zhang and Ou immediately showed a smile, especially Ou Shounian, he even stood up and said: "General Sun, I have kept this sentence in my heart, and you can't regret it when the time comes." ”

"A gentleman's words, the horse is hard to chase! District Commander, you can put your heart in your stomach, and Sun will do what he says. ”

Although the staff officer surnamed Zhang came down from above, but the official position and military rank are still too low, and he can't interject in the conversation of the three of them at all, although Shangfeng asked him to come here to read the order and mediate Liao Lei asked him to allocate materials to Sun Yumin, but there are still two people who let him talk, and now he has not had the opportunity to say, so how can he not be in a hurry. But he was not stupid, he leaned over and couldn't speak, so he simply walked in front of Sun Yumin and said, "General Sun, Chief He and Director Chen have something for me to bring to you, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Business or private?"

Sun Yumin is very good at being a person, he saw that Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian were a little unhappy after hearing this Zhang Staff Officer's words, he hurriedly asked first, if it is a business matter, you can talk in front of the two, then naturally there is no need to move, but if it is a private matter, then go to the side and whisper, Zhang and Ou will not be unhappy because of this.

Staff Officer Zhang also realized that he was inappropriate in saying this, and was just about to explain to Zhang Qu and the others that he couldn't afford to provoke this powerful faction with military power, but he heard Sun Yumin's words, which was clearly to help him exonerate. No wonder he can carry Venus on his shoulders at a young age, no wonder he can control tens of thousands of people in a division at a young age, no wonder he gathered a group of strong soldiers around him at a young age, Staff Officer Zhang praised Sun Yumin in his heart, his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, and when he saw that the eyes of the three of them fell on him, he hurriedly said: "What Chief He explained is a public matter, and Director Chen's side is a private matter." ”

"Let's just say it here, Commander Zhang and the district division commander are not outsiders."

Sun Yumin's words made Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian very useful, and they both smiled and nodded at him.

"Commander He asked the humble post to ask you before reading the order, would you like to return to the Twelfth Army!"

Although the words conveyed by Staff Officer Zhang were ambiguous, in the ears of Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian, it was an extremely obvious signal. Both of them know that Sun Yumin was the commander of the 20th Division of the 12th Army before his death, and now He Yingqin's words are not to ask him if he is willing to return to the 20th Division, but to ask him if he is willing to return to the 12th Army, which is a sign that the 12th Army will be handed over to him, although at this moment this Sun Yumin is only the head of a small local militia group, but as long as he nods, he will immediately rise to the position of the 12th Army. In the past year or so, although the Twelfth Army has declined, it is not impossible to build a force like the 74th Army, or more powerful than the 74th Army, with his Sun Yumin's ability and backing.

Even Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian can hear the words, not to mention Sun Yumin, who is a good person.

For a while, he was stunned by this sentence. Last night, he thought that Lao Jiang might promise to be a high-ranking official, and thought that he had the opportunity to regain control of the 20th Division, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. If you say that you are not tempted at all, it is self-deception, but if you nod like this, you are slapping yourself in the face. This is not his Sun Yumin's personality, but after more than a year of precipitation, Sun Yumin has long faded away from the flashiness, and he thinks that the problem will not be so extreme. As far as the matter of ordering the Huayuankou embankment to burst, as if he was filled with righteous indignation, he was eager to dig the initiator of the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, but the wind, rain and events experienced in the past year made him understand that if it were not for the original digging of the Yellow River embankment, the natural danger to resist the enemy, and the ** department won a rare time to recuperate, there would not be the current evenly matched battle of Suizao, Okamura Ningci used more troops than the fight against Nanjing, but there was no way to take the small Zaozhuang and Suixian, and even to the point that it was difficult to move an inch and suffered heavy casualtiesOf course, this has the credit of Li Zongren and Zhang Zizhong and others, but who dares to deny the role played by the bursting of the embankment at the mouth of the garden.

This is the reason why Sun Yumin tossed and turned all night, he not only wanted to regain his hands on the front of the heavy army and the devil, but also couldn't forget the good things that Lan Feng Blood War Shang Zhen and Sun Tongxuan had done together, and he couldn't forget the ardent expectations of Chen Yun and Lu Man.

How could it be possible to give an answer at this moment without thinking about things all night, Sun Yumin sat on his chair without saying a word, staring at the soldiers standing all over the playground.

"Chief He also said that if General Sun didn't think about it, then there was no need to answer in a hurry, he would wait patiently, and the chairman would wait for General Sun's answer."

Staff Officer Zhang's words shocked Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian again, they thought that it was just He Yingqin who looked at Sun Yumin differently, but now they realized that there was still a chairman standing behind Chief He, and it must be his intention to let Sun Yumin return to the Twelfth Army.

"Anything else?"

Sun Yumin finally spoke, but he neither nodded nor shook his head, Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian couldn't see or guess his thoughts at all. Even Sun Yumin himself didn't know what he thought, let alone them as outsiders!

"Commander He explained that if you give an answer, there is no need to read the order, you can go directly to Hunan, where the Twelfth Army is resting." When Staff Officer Zhang said this, he whispered something that made Sun Yumin moved: "Originally, the 12th Army was going to be reduced and merged, and the orders have already been issued, but it was the chairman who stopped the plan, saying that if you ask to return to the old army, he can't find the 12th Army to bring it to you." ”

Obviously, I don't know if this sentence was said by He Yingqin to this Staff Officer Zhang, or maybe it was the gossip that this guy was grateful to him for helping him out of the siege, but no matter which one it was, Sun Yumin's heart was a little moved, no matter what the evaluation of Lao Jiang was in later generations, but at least he was very affectionate to himself.

"What does the command say?"

After Sun Yumin's words came out, not only Staff Officer Zhang was a little surprised, but even Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian were surprised.

What is this?

Is it a refusal? No, he did not make it clear that he would not return to the 12th Army.

Yes yes? No, he didn't express his attitude either.

Perhaps he could only plan on the basis that he wanted to hear what the order was, and only in this way could he explain why Sun Yumin asked this sentence.

"Then I read it out?" Staff Officer Zhang asked, in fact, he was eager for Sun Yumin to nod and agree to return to the Twelfth Army, the commander of the first army is not a joke, most people will never climb to this position in their lifetime, he is so young, the position of army commander will definitely not be his end, maybe he will be because of the message this time, and he will be next to this ** senior officer Gao Zhi.

"Read it." Sun Yumin glanced at his troops, during the period when they were talking, Li Tianxi and Dong Wenbin's second and third companies also came back one after another, and after relaxing a little, they also gathered their teams and stood neatly on the playground, but neither of them dared to look at Sun Yumin's eyes.

Staff Officer Zhang walked back to his desk, smashed out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase, walked to the middle of the viewing platform, and read aloud: "Order: From now on, the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment will be promoted to the Huoshan Independent Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army, at the division level!" China Civil Affairs Commission, Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, He Yingqin. ”

After Staff Officer Zhang finished reading the first piece of paper, he unfolded the second piece of paper and read it even louder: "Order: Appoint Sun Yumin, the former commander of the 20th Division, as the commander of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, and confer the rank of major general. The Huoshan Independent Detachment was temporarily entrusted to the 21st Group Army, and the 21st Group Army temporarily distributed food, materials, weapons and equipment. China Civil Affairs Commission, Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, He Yingqin. ”

The first reorganized order did not get half a response, but when the second order to appoint Sun Yumin as the commander of the major general was read out of Staff Officer Zhang's mouth, the entire playground immediately became noisy, Deng Dongping was very excited, tears welled up, and before Staff Officer Zhang's words fell, he shouted at the soldiers of the Volunteer Regiment: "Commander! ”

Immediately following his words, a heaven-shattering cry sounded in the playground: "Commander! Commander! Commander! ”
