The thought that suddenly surged in Chen Bui's heart startled him, and he quickly took the telegram from his secretary and read it carefully.

The telegram of the New Fourth Army explained in great detail how to break through Huoshan City, how to block the enemy in Lu'an, and finally how to flank the enemy from both sides, and achieved an unprecedented victory. It's just that Gao Jingting, in accordance with Sun Yumin's wishes, did not write about him and the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment, and the telegram said that the attack on Huoshan was a certain unit of the four detachments, and the great victory of Xiaohongshan was also said to be the joint result of the seven regiments and a certain unit of the four detachments.

Although Chen Bui was full of doubts, he didn't know who to ask, how could anyone say a certain unit of the four detachments in the battle report, even if it was to preserve strength, he would not write a certain department in the battle report asking for merit. Chen Bui was a little uneasy in his heart, he was worried that this certain department would be related to his son-in-law who cheated to death, and maybe this certain department that didn't say the number was this damn guy's troops. Once this is really the case, how can I explain to Lao Jiang, who has been with me for more than 20 years, and how to explain to the party-state who has done everything for it.

The telegram of the New Fourth Army gave him a little bit of what was happening in Anhui, and he was now even more eager to know what the telegram of the 21st Group Army said.

To his disappointment, the telegram sent by Liao Lei did not mention Sun Yumin for half a word, but only said that a regiment of the 48th Army assisted the friendly army in the battle and annihilated nearly 1,000 Japanese puppet troops outside Lu'an City.

Chen Bui has always had an attitude of half trust and half suspicion about the good news sent by various theaters and group armies, including this battle report sent by the 21 st Group Army, and he just smiled. The previous battle report of the New Fourth Army made it very clear that Huoshan County annihilated and captured more than 200 Japanese soldiers and more than 6 or 700 puppet soldiers; The more than 3,000 Liu'an enemy troops who came to the rescue were ambushed by the four detachments of the New Fourth Army at Xiaohongshan, annihilating more than 300 Japanese troops, more than 5,600 puppet troops, and capturing 58 Japanese soldiers and more than 1,000 puppet soldiers.

The New Fourth Army will certainly not panic in reporting it, and the more than 1,000 enemy troops reported by the 21st Group Army can be imagined.

Chen Bui saw the strangeness at a glance, but he had no intention of comparing these tricks, and all his thoughts were on a certain unit of the New Fourth Army.

"Is Brother Hiko here?"

Outside the door, Dai Li's voice was heard.

Chen Bui's hand shook inexplicably, he knew Dai Li's person too well, and he couldn't describe this military commander without going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. As soon as he came, he didn't need to say anything, he had already told himself very clearly, and he also knew about Sun Yumin.

I was a little lucky before, hoping that Liao Lei's private call was mistaken, but now that Dai Li came, it had already been explained that there was a chance that this matter was true.

Chen Bui's psychology is very conflicted now, he hopes that this matter is true, if it is true, it means that his only son-in-law is not dead, and his poor daughter is not widowed; He also hoped that this matter was fake, if Sun Yumin lived in the world and became a person over there, what face would he have to stay by Lao Jiang's side, and what qualifications would he have to give advice to the party and the state.

"Isn't Brother Hiko here?"

Dai Li's head had already poked into the office, and his eyes had already seen Chen Bui, and he deliberately said so.

"Yu Nong, did you come to work early in the morning?"

For such a person, Chen Bui has always maintained a vigilant heart, and he said perfunctory words casually.

"Like you, spent the night in the office last night." Dai Li was still standing in the doorway, showing no signs of coming in.

"Really? I would have known that I would have stayed with you, and I had insomnia all night. ”

Dai Li is obviously not a good person, and the appearance of looking at himself with a smile makes Chen Bui very disgusted, but as a person of his level, he naturally will not show his inner emotions on his face, he deliberately said that he has insomnia, he wants to test the tone of the surname Dai, and see how he will answer his words.

"Alas, if I had known that Yan and his brother also had insomnia, Yunong would have come uninvited. received a secret report last night, which can be regarded as shocking Dai, who lived half his life in vain, and was blinded by a small trick. ”

Dai Li was still smiling when he said these words, but his eagle eyes were always staring at Chen Bui and he didn't blink. When others are testing him, he is not observing the reactions of others.

Hearing Dai Li's words, Sun Yumin was already sure that he already knew about this matter, and he would definitely use this matter to make his own article.

"Brother Yan and brother, don't stay in the office, the chairman asked us to go, he seems to have gotten up early."

Dai Lian spoke again, and deliberately raised the folder in his hand as he spoke.

When the two walked into Lao Jiang's big office, he was looking at a map on the table in a daze.

"Chairman, we're here."

Dai Li saw that Lao Jiang didn't seem to notice the two of them, and reminded him softly.

"Oh, Yu Nong, Hikoji, you're here. Letting you come here so early didn't delay your rest time, did it? ”

Lao Jiang motioned for the two of them to sit down in the reception area and asked casually.

"President, Yu Nong and I have already gotten up, how can we delay the rest."

Chen Bui is accustomed to Lao Jiang's concern for the people around him, and he is also accustomed to flattering.

"Yesterday, Yunong kept handing over information, Okamura Ningji seems to have sworn to Nanchang, I called you two here to hear your views on this war."

Lao Jiang picked up the hot tea that the attendant had just made, took a sip, and said in his characteristic Mandarin.

"President, since the fall of Wuhan on October 27 last year, the Japanese army has been unprepared to launch a new offensive, and in order to ensure that the occupied line and the covering corps are reorganized and replenished back and forth, three divisions and regiments will be used in western Hubei and northern Hubei, and four divisions will be used in Yongxiu in northern Jiangxi and Yueyang in northern Hunan. In the west of Duyang Lake and along the south bank of the Xiu River, along the lines of Wuning, Tongcheng, Jiuling, Xinyang River, and Dongting Lake, we confronted each other across the river for five months, except for small troops. Chen Bui cherished the deployment and strategic intentions of the Japanese army, which was hard work, and even Dai Li deeply admired this.

"A few days ago, my spy personnel had already discovered that the Japanese 101st Division, the 106th Division, and the attached artillery had begun to assemble in the area south of De'an, and the Japanese convoy was assembling north of De'an. At the same time, the 6th Division also showed signs of action towards the Qixi and Wuning directions. The 16th and 9th Divisions began to feint on the left bank of the Hanshui River in Anlu, Hubei Province and on the northern section of the Yuehan Road. All this shows that the Japanese army intends to move seriously this time, and the bloody battle in Nanchang is unavoidable. In front of Lao Jiang, Dai Li was naturally reluctant to let Chen Bui out of the limelight alone, and hurriedly told his subordinates about the movements of the Japanese army that had been summarized overnight. Some of the old Chiang already knew about the movements of the Japanese army, but some of them had just heard about it.

"Okamura Ningji's appetite is really not small, he wants to swallow Nanchang, and he doesn't ask me if I agree." Although Lao Jiang was very tough on his lips, he was very uneasy in his heart, Li Zongren couldn't stop the powerful offensive of the Japanese army, so could Xue Yue hold Nanchang? Once Nanchang is lost, then the entire South China region will be wide open, and the target of the Japanese army will naturally be Changsha, the next big city.

"President, the war has been fought for two years, and although we have suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese army is also suffering from heavy losses." Chen Bui, as always, was a loyal fan of Lao Chiang, and he echoed: "Compared with the time when Shanghai and Nanjing were attacked, the Japanese troops today are no longer what they used to be. I have heard many army commanders and division commanders say that the pressure resistance and resilience of devils are not half of those in the early days of the war. No! But now, we've captured quite a few prisoners. ”

When Chen Bui spoke up, he stopped his mouth for a while, and actually gave Dai Li a chance, which made him annoyed.

"Director Chen is right! Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, not only was our Central Army able to capture Japanese prisoners, but even the New Fourth Army was able to defeat Japanese troops and capture many prisoners. ”

Dai Li's words are not leaky, not only through Chen Bui's words to say what he wants to say, but also not let Lao Jiang feel narrow-minded and unable to tolerate others.

"Oh, the New Fourth Army has also won? It's unusual. "Lao Chiang has always had a contempt for the GCD troops,

"Yes, the telegram was sent last night, and the telegram should be in Director Chen's hands at this time." Dai Li glanced at Chen Bui maliciously and began to steer the topic in that direction.

"Really? Yan Ji, you read it. ”

Lao Jiang didn't notice that Chen Bui was a little uncomfortable, and said habitually.

"Yes, President." Chen Bui took out the telegram sent by the New Fourth Army from the folder he was holding in his hand, and read it out aloud.

Lao Jiang only heard the results in the good news, but he didn't find the major flaw in a certain part of the telegram, he muttered to himself: "Since the victory of Wanjialing, it has been a long time since I heard such a victory in the big battle, which was originally very exciting, but it was fought by the New Fourth Army, alas! ”

"Chairman of the National People's Congress, it was not only the New Fourth Army that sent good news yesterday, but also the 21st Group Army. I also heard from the people in the telecommunications office that Commander-in-Chief Liao sent a private telegram to Director Chen, I wonder if it is inconvenient for Director Chen to say it? Dai Li was very tactful, he did not directly tell Sun Yumin about it, but guided Lao Jiang step by step to the truth of the matter. He did this, not only did not offend Chen Bui in person, but also made Chen Bui unable to resist, so he had to watch him peel an onion as if he were peeling an onion, revealing the fact that Sun Yumin had cheated to death.

"Yan Ji, what did Liao Lei say?" Lao Jiang's original intention was to hear the good news of the 21st Group Army, but this ambiguous sentence made Chen Bui lose his sense of proportion all of a sudden, his face was red and white, he hesitated, took out the two telegrams from the folder, his hands trembled slightly, and handed them to Lao Jiang.

The message above was the good news that was injected with water, Lao Jiang naturally didn't know about these cats, and a slight smile appeared on his face, and said: "I thought that Liao Lei was in a corner of Dabie Mountain, and he had forgotten that he was the commander of the dignified group army, but now it seems that I am wrong to blame him." ”

"Chairman of the committee, as far as I know, Commander Liao has been sick for a while, and it seems that he is quite serious." Dai Li's rare words for others were revealed.

Chen Bui secretly scolded in his heart, for this kind of person who is both a bitch and a memorial arch, he only treats him with saliva, if it is not in Lao Jiang's office now, he will really quench a mouthful of phlegm.

After reading the first telegram, Lao Jiang casually flipped up the second telegram, and swept it at a glance in just a few words, and he said with a smile: "Yan Ji, your son-in-law, I am afraid that the Japanese army is the most feared ......."

Lao Jiang didn't finish speaking, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at the telegram again, and looked at the few words again: Brother Yan and his son-in-law, Sun Yumin, are attacking Huoshan.

Chen Bui was a little nervous, he didn't know how Lao Jiang would react, his eyes were dry and staring at the person opposite who had served and accompanied him for more than 20 years.

"Yan Ji, isn't your son-in-law already martyred? Why did he suddenly appear on Liao Lei's side? ”

"This ...... This...... I don't really know. Chen Bui stammered a little when he answered, "When I received this telegram from Commander Liao last night, I was also surprised and couldn't believe this fact. ”

Lao Jiang did not express his position on Chen Bui's statement, but looked at Dai Li's side intentionally or unintentionally, and Dai Li nodded his head several times in a row as if he had confirmed something.

Others may not be able to see anything, but Chen Bui is a person who has been with Lao Jiang for more than 20 years, how can he not understand what the teacher and student are doing, although Lao Jiang did not speak, but he was silently asking Dai Li, whether his statement just now was true, fortunately, although Dai Yunong is insidious and cunning, he will not do this out of nothing, and he confirmed the authenticity of his statement. It can be seen from Lao Jiang's suddenly gloomy face, which slowly eased up a little.

Chen Bui saw that Lao Jiang's face was a little better, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and threw a grateful look at Dai Li, but he didn't expect this guy to ignore it, and even said something that caught Chen Bui off guard.

"Chairman of the Committee, the good news of the New Fourth Army said that it was Huoshan County attacked by a certain unit of the New Fourth Army, but Commander Liao's private telegram to Director Chen said that it was Huoshan County that Sun Yumin led his troops to attack, and ...... of them" Dai Li saw that Lao Jiang didn't seem to have discovered the key to it, and said again.

After hearing Dai Li's remarks, Lao Jiang's face darkened, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Chen Bui has followed Lao Jiang for so many years, except for the fall of Nanjing, he has almost never seen him look like this, and he can't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Hikoji, do you know the connection?"

Although Lao Jiang's words were very plain, but there was a tone of reproach in his words, as the most trustworthy person by him, Chen Bui's son-in-law "defected" to the GD New Fourth Army after his death, which made him lose face, besides, this Sun Yumin, he and his father-in-law treated him well, and after Lan Feng was injured, he also used a special plane to pull him to Wuhan for treatment. This guy is good, after Ruichang's victory over the Botian detachment, he actually cheated to death and hid everyone including Dai Li, and now when he hears his news, he is actually related to the New Fourth Army.

One stone stirs up three waves. Ling Weixian never imagined that his telegram asking for help would bring such turmoil.

Lao Jiang's side immediately asked Dai Li to thoroughly investigate the causes and consequences of Sun Yumin's fraudulent death, and thoroughly investigate when he was involved with the New Fourth Army and GD; After Yan'an received the unconcealed good news from the New Fourth Army, several leaders immediately issued instructions, demanding that the New Fourth Army win over this famous god of war of the national army into the ranks of the party no matter what; And our protagonist is on the flat stone at this time, dealing with the finishing work after the war, and he has no idea what is about to happen to him.
