"Command!"

When Luo Zhuoying stood and pronounced these two words, the soldiers sitting around the three wine tables all stood up, Shang Zhen, who was the deputy commander of the theater of operations, and Zhou SC, who was the commander-in-chief of the group army for the time being.

"The Huoshan Independent Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army, in the Battle of Northern Jiangxi, made outstanding achievements, and in the Battle of Wuning, it was a great display of the prestige of our army, and the Military Committee decided to expand the Huoshan Independent Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army into a new 34th Division, which was assigned to the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Military Commission of the Republic of China, He Yingqin, Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government. ”

After Luo Zhuoying finished reading the first piece of paper, all the eyes in the room were on Sun Yumin, especially Dai Cunxiang, who originally thought that the order to Sun Yumin would be read out first, but who expected that the first order was to expand the Huoshan Independent Detachment, the new thirty-four, as soon as they heard it, it was the name of a B division, no wonder Dai Cunxiang They were a little dissatisfied.

However, Sun Yumin didn't say anything, and Zhang Xiaohu and Deng Dongping still stood up straight, with a smile on their faces, and took the order handed over by Adjutant Luo Zhuoying.

Without waiting for him to take a closer look, Luo Zhuoying read out the second order: "Order: Promote the former commander of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, Major General Sun Yumin, to the rank of lieutenant general." Jiang Zhongzheng, Chairman of the Military Commission of the Republic of China, and He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government. ”

After reading this order, Luo Zhuoying took the lead in applauding, and said: "Yumin, congratulations, you will be a lieutenant general in the future." ”

"Thank you, Chief Luo!" In the warm applause of everyone, Sun Yumin saluted Luo Zhuoying and thanked him.

"It took me and Qiyu to be promoted to lieutenant general, but it took less than three years for you to be Yumin, it's really terrifying." Luo Zhuoying sighed as he handed the order to the adjutant, and then the adjutant went around half a circle and respectfully handed the order to Sun Yumin.

Looking at this brand-new promotion order that was still fragrant with ink, although the smile on Sun Yumin's face was still there, he had a subtle feeling in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily swept to Zhou SC next to Shang Zhen.

This scene made Chen Lai behind him look at it again, and Xiao Nizi's brows furrowed slightly.

"Command!" Luo Zhuoying's voice sounded again: "Sun Yumin, the former commander of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, has been promoted to the commander of the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army from now on. The 20th and 80th Divisions of the 12th Army are still under the 12th Army, and the establishment remains unchanged; The 22nd Division was drawn out and temporarily stayed in Zhengzhou; the 139th Division to the 12th Army of the 32nd Army of the 20th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army; The 12th Army is temporarily directly under the Ninth Theater Command and is under the jurisdiction of Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth Theater. Military Commission of the Republic of China, He Yingqin, Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government. ”

As soon as Luo Zhuoying's words fell, there was warm applause in the room, no one took the lead, it was all spontaneous, especially the stupid bears and their descendants, although they had already known in advance that Sun Yumin was going to be promoted to military commander, but when this moment came, they were all excited and excited.

Sun Yumin was also a little excited, he already knew that the 20th Division, the 81st Division and the 139th Division were assigned to the 12th Army, and he also knew that he was about to become the commander of the 12th Army, but he didn't expect that Lao Jiang would expand the Huoshan Independent Detachment. The new 34th Division plus the 139th Division, and the original 20th Division and 81st Division, the 12th Army immediately became a reinforced army with four divisions, whether it was the 74th Army with outstanding combat achievements or the 18th Army of the Civil Engineering Department, even the Fifth Army at the bloody Kunlun Pass, the trump card in Lao Chiang's hands was only three divisions, and this honor was really the first one.

"Yumin, the chairman asked me to tell you that he has Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, Huang Wei's 18th Army, and Du Yuming's Fifth Army, all of which are famous iron armies, and now he hopes that you can bring out a steel army that is even more terrifying."

Sun Yumin just nodded, he wouldn't be like other generals who couldn't wait to show his loyalty, let him fight devils, he would not frown, and he would not hesitate to lead the troops to rush to the front line, but if he talked about loyalty to Lao Jiang, loyalty to the corrupted Republic of China government, and loyalty to the Kuomintang that had rotted to the bones, he couldn't do it, he could only laugh.

Luo Zhuoying didn't care too much about whether Sun Yumin immediately showed his loyalty, and when he saw him nodding, he thought that this was his character. Some people are like this, they won't talk about it, but the credit for what they do is far better than those who only do superficial work, in Luo Zhuoying's consciousness, he himself is this kind of person, and Sun Yumin is also this kind of person.

"Brother Yumin, brother, I really envy you, with the army of four divisions, don't say that I am with You Qing, even Commander Chen has never had such glory." Shang Zhen continued Luo Zhuoying's words and said that he had known about this matter before he came, although he could not talk about envy, but from this matter, it could be seen that Lao Jiang was very important to this young officer.

Sun Yumin still didn't say anything, and still only nodded.

Shang Zhen also didn't care about Sun Yumin's situation, thinking that it was his and Luo Zhuoying's words that put a lot of pressure on him.

None of the people in the whole room noticed Sun Yumin's abnormality, except for Zhou SC, and Chen Lai.

This little girl has seen Sun Yumin sweeping over Zhou SC intentionally or unintentionally more than once, and she has also seen that Zhou SC has been observing Sun Yumin.

Did they know each other before? No, there was a festival between his brother-in-law and Shang Zhen, not to mention his subordinates, even his own brother-in-law didn't like him, how could there be an intersection.

"Yumin," Luo Zhuoying continued Shang Zhen's words: "Brother Qiyu is right, you and I are both soldiers, deeply trusted by the party and the state, and deeply respected by the chairman, so we naturally want to repay them." One thing I want to tell you is that the chairman of the committee personally pulled out a sum of money to pay for the officers and soldiers of the 20th Division who died on the battlefield of Lanfeng. ”

After hearing Luo Zhuoying's words, Sun Yumin's eyes suddenly flashed with a little brilliance, and unlike the silence just now, he asked: "Chief Luo, what you said is true?" ”

"Luo never tells lies, you can ask the army robes." Luo Zhuoying was not angry at Sun Yumin's rudeness, he replied with a smile.

"Back then, the Lanfeng Bloody War had always been a dead knot in Yumin's heart," Sun Yumin said slowly: "Chief Luo, you are also a thousand-strong army, and you have come from the battlefield with blood, you should be able to understand my pain." Everyone only saw that the 20th Division had severely defeated the Tufeiyuan Division, but almost no one saw that the 20th Division, which had a total of 20,000 people, was directly disabled in that battle, and it can be said that it had lost its combat effectiveness. ”

"Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying. Shuoqi spreads the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron coat. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Luo Zhuoying sighed: "Yumin, I have also experienced everything about you, and I have been discouraged, but in the face of the country's righteousness, don't you think that the soldiers who have passed away, and the brothers who are still following you and me, have no more choice than to do their best?" ”

These words were like a slap in Sun Yumin's heart, making the grievances that he had buried in his heart for a long time disappear without a trace. He originally wanted to say a few words for the soldiers of the 20th Division who had died, but was blocked by Luo Zhuoying's words. Maybe he has some combat exploits, but in front of Luo Zhuoying, these are really nothing.

He Sun Yumin is on the devil's side, but Luo Zhuoying is the general of the Chinese army that the Japanese invaders want to get rid of the most, except for Lao Jiang, since the Battle of Songhu, almost every major battle, Luo Zhuoying and his troops are at the front, and the casualties caused to the Japanese invaders far exceed those of other national army generals.

If someone else said this to Sun Yumin, he would definitely refute it, and he was qualified to refute it, but in front of Luo Zhuoying, he could only be a student and a junior.

"Yumin, you may think that why didn't the commission give the soldiers of the 20th Division a pension in the year of the bloody battle of Lanfeng, but only take out this money now."

Luo Zhuoying seemed to see through Sun Yumin's mind and said his biggest doubt.

"Yumin, do you think that fighting against the Japanese invaders is just a simple matter of sending generals like you and me to the front line to fight the devils?" Luo Zhuoying said: "Of course not, I believe you know more about this than I know, Director Chen is too busy to take care of his family all day long." ”

Of course, Sun Yumin knew, and it could be said that in this room, no one would know better than him the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

"Although I am a rough man and only know how to lead troops to fight, I can also see that all the income of the Nationalist Government, even the loans borrowed from the West, have been invested in this war, but I still can't fill this hole and fill this bottomless pit." Luo Zhuoying took off his hat as he spoke, and continued: "I remember one time, when I summoned Commander Chen and me, he was in tears when he talked about this. Many units of the national army could not even afford to issue regular rifles, and they could only fight in single clothes in the bitter cold. This is true of the living, let alone those who have died in battle! ”

Speaking of this, Luo Zhuoying was obviously very sad, he put down the few pieces of paper in his hand that he hadn't read, picked up a glass of wine on the table, and drank it directly.

"Chief Luo, I have something to say." Although Luo Zhuoying's words were very touching, and the reasons given seemed to be like that, in Sun Yumin's eyes, this was just the result of his failure to see through the things themselves, so he immediately wanted to put forward his own opinion.

"You are not allowed to say." Luo Zhuoying's attitude suddenly became very resolute after drinking a glass of wine, and the smile that had been on his face disappeared, replaced by the majesty of his deputy commander in the theater.

Sun Yumin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Luo Zhuoying's attitude to become so fast, but he has always been a character who eats soft rather than hard, and was about to ask why he couldn't say it, when he heard Luo Zhuoying's words in his ears again: "Yumin, I know what you want to say!" But I hope you never say these words, and I do it, and I hope you do the same. ”

Sun Yumin was surprised, he originally thought that Luo Zhuoying wanted to defend the people and things he wanted to say, but from his words, he could hear that this unknown deputy commander was actually defending himself and thinking about himself.

"Think about the weapons and equipment of your four divisions, think about the supply and supply of your troops of more than 20,000 people, and the pension of the fallen soldiers" Luo Zhuoying paused, he looked at Sun Yumin's eyes with something different, and then said: "Yumin, the commission is already trying its best to think about you, we should be satisfied as subordinates." ”

"Chief Luo, I know, I understand, thank you!" Sun Yumin responded, he really knew, and he really understood. Luo Zhuoying's sentence was deliberately divided into two paragraphs by him, the first half was a warning to him, and the second half was the first half of the circle.

may be a similar resume, so that Sun Yumin feels that Luo Zhuoying understands him better than anyone, which makes him a little surprised, he never thought that someone would know him so well, enlighten him, and even say that it is to protect him, and this person is the first time they have met.

Luo Zhuoying's previous sentence "All the income of the national government, even the loans borrowed from the West, were all invested in this war, but it is still far from filling this hole and filling this bottomless pit." Sun Yumin's original intention was to refute that it was "to fill the bottomless pit of Jiang Songkong, Kong and Chen Si's family," but before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by Luo Zhuo Yingsheng, and asked him to think about the survival plan of the Twelfth Army, this naked implication, if he still doesn't understand, then he is not worthy of being the commander of this army.

As long as he said a little bit of bad remarks about the four major families just now, then it is almost certain that within a few days, all these words will fall into the hands of these "big guys" who are in charge of the lifeblood of the Republic of China, even if he is valued by Lao Jiang, Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu, and Chen Lifu brothers also have ways to target him.

This is called misfortune from the mouth, Sun Yumin understands this, but whenever he mentions those soldiers who died in battle, he can't suppress his feelings, even if he has been precipitated in Huoshan for nearly two years, it is still the case. Maybe this is the defect of being too young and not having enough life experience.

"These documents were issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the Ninth Theater Command, and the weapons, equipment, and materials assigned to your department were all distributed by the Ninth Theater on behalf of the Ninth Theater of Operations, and the initial supply of troops for the new 34th Division was also supplied by the Ninth Theater, and it was already on the road at the moment, so I won't read it here, you can take a good look at it yourself." Luo Zhuoying saw that Sun Yumin was like a tamed tiger, listening to his words meekly, and secretly praised this young officer in his heart.

He took these thin pieces of paper from Adjutant Luo Zhuoying's hand, glanced at them hurriedly, handed them to Chen Lai behind him, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Chief Luo, the kid has really been taught today, you have come from afar, and you have worked hard." Then he said to Shang Zhen: "Chief Shang, thank you for the gift. Then he said to Zhou SC, who had not said much: "Commander-in-Chief Zhou, thank you for coming, we have to find a time and opportunity to have a good chat." ”

"Come, come, come, everybody raise their glasses." Luo Zhuoying greeted everyone with a hostile attitude and said, "Congratulations to Yumin for his promotion to the rank of lieutenant general and the commander of the Twelfth Army!" ”

I can't say why, anyway, it's not the joy after the promotion, it's not how good the amount of alcohol Luo, Shang, and Zhou San is, and it's not because of the toasts of the brothers, in short, Sun Yumin was so drunk that he was finally carried back by a stupid bear.
