Wuhan camp.

When Chen Bui got the news that the three cities of Jining and Wenshang in Gunzhou had been attacked by the Japanese army overnight a few days ago, he was secretly glad in his heart, but fortunately he had let Sun Yumin retire early and go to Heze to recuperate. Watching a battle report of the lost city and land constantly being sent from the waiting room to Lao Jiang's office, he knew that the one inside should be angry.

Sure enough, when the 81st Division gave up Jiaxiang, Lao Jiang's anger was finally released, and he scolded angrily in front of Yu Jishi and Chen Bui: "It's okay to be the first to grab Sun Yumin's credit, but now they are scrambling to lose the city and land, have they forgotten that these cities were taken by the 20th Division after losing thousands of people?" ”

"Headmaster, do you want to let Sun Yumin, who is guarding Heze, send troops back and deal a hard blow to the arrogance of the devils?" Yu Jishi comforted him.

Since the teaching corps was disabled, the few trump cards of the national army were the 74th Army of Yu Jishi, both from Zhejiang, and Lao Jiang attached great importance to this student and fellow countryman plus relatives, and his opinions would always be more important.

"No, no!" Chen Bui hurriedly objected, he was unwilling to let Sun Yumin fill the hole again, last time Sun Yumin made a great contribution and suffered a big grievance, which made Chen Bui very unhappy, so when Yu Jishi proposed to let Sun Yumin go, he immediately jumped out to object.

"Yan Ji, I know that you are still haunted by what happened last time, but as a pillar of the party-state, isn't it normal to suffer a little bit of grievance?" Lao Jiang said.

"President, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood me." Chen Bui hurriedly explained: "The Japanese army is difficult to move an inch in southwest Luxi, a large part of which is because the 20th Division has won several battles, which has hurt and frightened them, and now the 20th Division is fortifying on the border of Shandong and Henan to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the momentum of seizing Shandong and raising troops to invade Henan. If he hastily mobilizes at this moment, then the defense line that Sun Yumin has painstakingly managed will be in vain in a blink of an eye, and the 20th Division will be the main attack, and the effect may not be very good.

Chen Bui's words were reasonable, and the interests were clearly stated, which made Lao Jiang silent all of a sudden and stopped talking.

"Brother Yan Ji, you are a man of letters, and you don't understand things on the battlefield, although what you said just now makes a lot of sense. However, as a military man, as a high-ranking officer of the party-state, I believe that he will make a decision himself. Yu Jishi interjected, seeing that Jiang and Chen's eyes were all on him, he continued: "I have studied the battle examples of General Sun, from the Songhu battlefield to the Guanghuamen in Nanjing, as well as the recent series of battles of the 20th Division, which can clearly show his unwilling character as a commander and the surprise of his tactical tactics. ”

"Yes, you will still pay attention to these points, not in vain in the first phase of Whampoa, nor in vain as the head of an army." Yu Jishi can really be regarded as the descendant of the lineage, and Lao Jiang will naturally not be stingy with his praise.

"I dare to pack a ticket, in just a few days, General Sun will definitely give a grand meeting gift to the Japanese army approaching Heze." Yu Jishi was praised, full of confidence, patted his chest and said.

"A greeting gift?" Lao Jiang was puzzled.

"Principal, the devil defeated the 55th Army and forced the 81st Division to retreat without a fight, and now he is excited, and he will definitely suffer Sun Yumin's big loss." Yu Jishi didn't know where he got the idea.

Lao Jiang was about to ask him carefully why he said this, and a voice came from the door of the office: "Report." ”

The eyes of the three people were attracted by this report, especially Chen Bui, who knew that if it wasn't for the good news, the people from the telecommunications office would not dare to send it directly, and most of them would send those messages that made people angry to hear them first. Now the lieutenant colonel standing at the door is the deputy director on duty of the telecommunications department, which further believes in the thoughts in Chen Bui's heart, if it were not for the good news, these directors and deputy directors would not be so stupid and come here to be scolded.

"Come in." With an authentic Zhejiang accent, you don't need to look to know who is speaking.

The lieutenant colonel walked in quickly, took a telegram from the folder, handed it to Chen Bui, and said, "The Third Army has good news." ”

When Chen Bui heard that it was not a telegram from Sun Yumin, he immediately had no interest at all, and even lost the desire to read the telegram, but because of his duties, he had to read it patiently.

From a hasty glance at the beginning, it slowly turned into a careful reading, and even the expression on his face began to change from serious to joyful.

Yu Jishi said with a smile: "Headmaster, I bet there must be good news from Sun Yumin's side." ”

Lao Jiang also nodded, these days, there is bad news everywhere, but Sun Yumin's department won a few battles some time ago, which really inspired people's hearts.

"President, Sun Tongxuan called, saying that the 81st Division and the 20th Division defeated the Japanese Nagase Brigade in Qilin Town, and took advantage of the situation to recover Jiaxiang County in one fell swoop. Chen Bui said with a smile on his face, when he said the word "carry", his tone was extraordinarily heavy, for fear that others would not understand the meaning of this telegram.

"Strange, why is it Sun Tongxuan calling? Although the battle was fought by two divisions under his 12th Army, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the 20th Division is already the principal's descendant, how could Sun Tongxuan think of coming to you to rob General Sun of the credit? Yu Jishi listened to the telegram, and there were not many surprises, in his heart, Sun Yumin would call back sooner or later, which was basically not good news.

Lao Jiang was different, and said with a smile: "Really? The 81st Division Exhibition Hall can be Oh, Wenshang can retreat with his whole body, and Jiaxiang can turn defeat into victory, which can be regarded as a talent. ”

"Headmaster, you can't just listen to one-sided words and give credit to others so arbitrarily." Among Lao Jiang's so many descendants, there are not many people who dare to talk to him so directly, Yu Jishi is one, and some of them are more or less stained with the light of relatives.

Lao Jiang's face was a little unbearable, and he asked, "What should I think of your opinion?" ”

Yu Jishi also realized Lao Jiang's displeasure, and said: "Headmaster, let's wait and see, Sun Yumin should call, after all, after such a big battle, war damage and consumption are indispensable, with the character of Sun Tongxuan and Li Zongren, it is too difficult for him Sun Yumin to get supplies." After Yu Jishi finished speaking, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said: "If it were me, I would have sent a telegram to invite merit, and by the way, I would have ordered rewards and supplies." ”

Lao Jiang and Chen Bui laughed when they heard his remarks.

Just when the lieutenant colonel's deputy director of telecommunications was embarrassed, a female lieutenant was walking anxiously around in the corridor outside the door, and the folder in her hand was also shaking, as if trying to attract someone's attention with the sound of high heels.

Lao Jiang is facing the door, and Chen Bui, Yu Jishi and the deputy director of the lieutenant colonel are facing Lao Jiang, how can they see the female lieutenant, after the three of them laughed, Lao Jiang found the female lieutenant with a graceful figure.

"Liangzhen, what you said is going to come true." Lao Jiang pointed to the door.

The three of them turned around together, and when the lieutenant colonel saw that it was his subordinate, he hurriedly walked out, and after asking a few words in a low voice, he took the folder in her hand, walked in quickly, and handed the message in the folder to Chen Bui.

"You just read it." Before Chen Bui could take a closer look, he heard Lao Jiang's voice, and he had to read it out directly.

"Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and Chief He of the Ministry of Military Affairs: At noon yesterday, our unit launched an attack on the Second Field Heavy Artillery Wing attached to the Japanese Isogu Division, and with the support of the Guerrillas of GCD Juye County and Jiaxiang County, the enemy Field Artillery Wing and the infantry brigade attached to it were all annihilated. In the evening, with the full cooperation of the 81st Division's Zhanshutang Division, our unit attacked the Japanese army in Qilin Town, and after a fierce battle, most of the enemy was annihilated, and the rest fled to Jiaxiang County. That night, our division led the 81st Division to break through the county seat of Jiaxiang, and most of the enemy fled to Jining. ”

"In this battle, more than 200 casualties of our department, 1,000 casualties of the exhibition department, more than 3,000 Japanese puppet troops were killed, and the artillery wing destroyed by our department is not counted. Sun Yumin, commander of the 20th Division of the Third Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army. ”

When Lao Jiang heard the message, he was overjoyed. But the message mentioned the GCD, as well as the guerrillas under their leadership, which made Lao Jiang feel a pimple in his heart, and even began to suspect that Sun Yumin had hooked up with that side.

In his mind, no matter how talented and capable someone is, as long as it is related to those three words, then it can be announced that the person has closed the door to him.

But this Sun Yumin is really a general, Han Fuyu's remaining troops, it was originally a problem, according to He Yingqin, they meant that they were all dispersed and sent to various departments, and as a result, the commanders of the various group armies who smelled the news all wanted to share a big cake and move around, Sun Tongxuan got this gossip and came to Wuhan with gold bars and US dollars, He Yingqin alone didn't know how much money was stuffed, and the final result was at the Supreme Military Conference, and the topic of dismantling the Third Army had to be stopped. Lao Jiang was not at ease after all, and sent Chen Bui, one of the most core people around him, to let his son-in-law serve as the commander of the 20th Division, the main force of the Third Army.

But things are not perfect, this Sun Yumin doesn't know what's going on, and he actually got together with the GCD guerrillas, which makes Lao Jiang can't figure it out even if he scratches his head, with nearly 20,000 elite national troops in your hands, what can't you do, you have to have something to do with that side?

Chen Bui and Yu Jishi were in front of them, and Lao Jiang naturally did not show displeasure, with a smile on his face, and said: "Yan Ji, you are a good son-in-law, you really impress me." You can give more guidance, cultivate well, and serve the party-state more. ”

In fact, Chen Bui knew that things were not good since he saw the three words GCD mentioned on the telegram, and he had followed Lao Jiang for so long, his thoughts, Chen Bui knew very well, looking at the dictator with a hypocritical smile on his face, but he didn't know how to think about this problem in his heart, Chen Bui turned many ways to make up for Sun Yumin's mistake, because he had been tied to the same boat with this son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Chen Bui opened his mouth and said: "This bastard, he did a bastard thing, the president also praised him, if he is in front of me now, I can't wait to slap him twice, and I have been teaching him to be careful in life and work, but the result is still to make people slander." Now not only is Zhanshutang in the limelight, but even the ones over there have caught up, which really me off. ”

"Yes, principal, from the last incident of Li Zongren and Sun Tongxuan, I can see that General Sun is excellent in all aspects, but his defense is too poor. If Yan and his brother don't warn this shortcoming, they may be sold to others at that time. Yu Jishi echoed.

Hearing the analysis of the two henchmen in front of him, Lao Jiang also felt that it was very reasonable, this aspect of what the two of them said was indeed Sun Yumin's biggest shortcoming, maybe he was really taken advantage of, thinking of this, Lao Jiang opened his mouth and said: "Liangzhen is right, Yan Ji, Sun Yumin is still young, and he still needs to learn in many aspects, you have to teach him step by step, so as not to go astray." ”

"President, please rest assured, I will definitely discipline you strictly." Hearing what Lao Jiang said, it meant that he would not dwell on this matter, and Chen Bui was also secretly relieved.

"In this way, Yan Ji, you take a condolence group to Xuzhou to express condolences and condolences to the Fifth War Zone, and then transfer to Heze, go to see Sun Yumin, and remind him by the way, in addition, didn't your son-in-law say that dozens of cannons were buried? Let's see if we can dig it out. Lao Jiang said.

"Yes, President, I'll go get ready right away." Chen Bui said.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Lao Jiang sat down by himself, motioned for the two of them to sit down as well, and then said: "I heard Dai Li say that your youngest daughter has not yet married Sun Yumin, so let's hold a wedding for the two of them in my name, and I will do the wedding in Heze, and let Dai Li officiate the marriage for the two of them instead of me." ”

Chen Bui was shocked by Lao Jiang's words, you must know that Lao Jiang has never given his subordinates such a big face, and he personally served as the officiant, although it was only a nominal one, but this was also a great gift, although there was Sun Yumin's credit, but most of it was still for his own face.

"President, how can this be?" Chen Bui was happy in his heart, but he still refused.

Yu Jishi interrupted him and said, "Brother Yan and brother, congratulations, I have to ask for a cup of wine to drink." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Chen Bui replied with a smile.

"Yan Ji, this condolence group is mainly based on you, with Dai Li as the deputy, and we must reward the officers and soldiers of the Fifth War Zone, especially Sun Yumin's department. In addition, you yourself have to arrange some people to go to the 20th division to assist him, and let Dai Li also arrange some people to help keep an eye on the point, Sun Yumin's personal energy is limited, but with the help of the two of you, I believe he will be much easier, and also avoid the suspicion and jealousy of the various departments. Lao Jiang said.

The main topic came, and sure enough, Lao Jiang had something to say after his words, not only giving himself and Sun Yumin enough face, but also inserting people into it bloodlessly, so it's okay, with the surveillance of others, this kid should also be a little more peaceful.

"Okay, president, I'll go and discuss with Yunong." Chen Bui said.

"Condolences and supplements for you to negotiate with He Yingqin and Kong Xiangxi." Lao Jiang said, he paused, turned to Yu Jishi and said, "You go and inform Madame and ask her to prepare a generous gift and send it to Yanji's mansion, which is a part of my heart and her." ”
