When Sun Yumin's motorcade came to the temporary division headquarters of the 20th Heze Division, the officers at all levels inside came out to greet him under the leadership of Liu Wenzhi.

The commanders of the 58th, 59th, and 60th Brigades, as well as the former division commander Sun Tongxuan, were stunned by the devil captives taken from the truck, and even forgot to salute this unusually young major general and division commander.

Sun Yumin waved his hand at Deng Dongping, called him over, and said: "Let people remove all the corpses of the devil soldiers, unload all the captured weapons and equipment, and yard them neatly, and invite reporters and friends to take some photos, and I will send someone to Director Chen." ”

The words he said made the old generals of the 20th Division who were waiting on the side hear clearly, and those who could stand at the door to greet them were some old fritters who had been in the barracks for a long time, who would not know who Director Chen was talking about in the mouth of this new division commander.

These people received a call from Adjutant Sun Tongxuan early in the morning, saying that they must all come to greet the new division commander, and the adjutant who called intentionally or unintentionally told the new division commander that the new division commander was Chen Bui's son-in-law, and also said that Sun Tongxuan would personally rush back from Kaifeng today to hand over the new division commander, which made these veterans of the 20th Division or Sun Tongxuan's old troops dare not slack off.

Sun Yumin stood at the door and watched Deng Dongping and the soldiers move more than 200 corpses of devil soldiers from the truck, and placed them neatly on the road at the entrance of the division department, and put out the captured Japanese weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies, and even the corpses of the dozen or so mules that had been killed. drove several divisions of the national army troops everywhere, did they have three heads and six arms? No, there are not as many spies as they were, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as theirs, but you have already seen what the result will be. ”

Sun Yumin looked at these officers who would not blush or be weak-hearted, he was very angry, and said: "I don't know how everyone used to be, and I don't mean how Commander Sun was, but from the moment I took over the 20th Division, the comfortable days of the little devil have come to an end." All of you present, if you really want to fight devils, I, Sun Yumin, welcome you to stay, and if you don't want to go to the battlefield, when Commander Sun comes over, you can go with him, go to the military headquarters of the Twelfth Army, and get promoted and make a fortune, I Sun Yumin congratulate you. ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone was discussed, and people's minds turned back from those devils' corpses, captives, and weapons and equipment.

Sun Yumin ignored these officers who were all talking to each other and whispering, and continued: "You can disperse first, but you can't leave too far, when Commander Sun comes, you will come to the conference room for a meeting." ”

Although the officers who greeted him heard him say this, none of them dared to leave the scene, and the ghost knew if this Scarface meant to say this, and then looked at the attitude of the people below.

After Sun Yumin said this, he walked straight to the two reporters led by Liu Wenzhi, and knew some basic information about the two reporters from the self-introduction of the two people, neither of them was a big reporter newspaper, they were retreating from Jinan with the 20th Division, and now with this excuse, they can just take the car to Kaifeng to send the seizure, and then turn to Wuhan, so when the two heard that they were invited to take pictures, they did not refuse at all, and came here happily.

Sun Yumin said to the two: "It's troublesome for the two, I hope to publish these photos in the newspaper as soon as possible, although the record is not very good, but I hope it can lift the numb heart of the Chinese people a little!" ”

Both reporters patted their chests and said, "General Sun, as soon as we arrive in Wuhan, we will immediately send these photos to the newspaper." ”

Sun Yumin smiled slightly, and said: "Then please start with the two of you, give me a copy of the photos you took, and I will send them to it, without these evidences, some people will think that my Sun has reported his military exploits indiscriminately." ”

The two reporters also said again and again that the two of them didn't care about what the general in front of them was going to do, and they just wanted to let him send a car to send them away after taking the photos. However, the two of them were quite dutiful, not only took a lot of photos of the results of the battle, and even took advantage of Sun Yumin's inattention, he was checking the scene of the Japanese weapons also filmed, the background of the photo is the corpses of the Japanese soldiers all over the ground, and more than a dozen Japanese prisoners squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, this photo of Sun Yumin hanging a star was later published in the Central Daily, and was also collected by the Japanese army's special high school, his appearance, especially the scar on the left side of his face, became a lingering nightmare for many Japanese officers.

Under the guidance of the chief of staff, Sun Yumin came to the temporary division headquarters. On the wall opposite the door hung a large military map, marked by red and blue arrows, and in front of the map was a long table and chairs, apparently used for meetings and deployments.

Sun Yumin took off his hat, threw it on the conference table, and walked to the map to look at it carefully.

The signs on the map are probably not wrong, but the update is too slow, the Japanese vanguard has arrived between the Netherlands and Lankao, and the map also shows that Jining is in the hands of the national army.

Sun Yumin left in front of the map and came to the sand table, and like the problem on the map, the update was too slow and did not keep up with the actual situation of the battle at all. He stretched out his hand and moved several flags of the Nationalist Army back a few places from their original positions, and then inserted the flags of the Japanese army facing each other into the positions that had just been removed.

The chief of staff is an expert, and after seeing Sun Yumin move the flag a few times, he asked in surprise: "Division, did the Japanese army move so fast?" ”

Sun Yumin looked at the chief of staff who spoke curiously, and said with a smile: "Are you still daydreaming?" Do you have to wait until the devil attacks Heze to believe that the army has come to the city? ”

The chief of staff blushed and stopped talking.

The brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and staff officers who came in also did not speak, all wanting to see what kind of style this newcomer division commander was like.

Seeing that the chief of staff did not speak, Sun Yumin did not continue to embarrass him, walked to the top of the conference table and sat down, leaned back against the back of the chair, tilted his head and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Such a scene was greatly unexpected by these generals, and none of them knew how to act, whether to leave or stay in this temporary division headquarters, and none of them dared to take the lead.

Xiao Yuying's heart ached and Sun Yumin, who had not slept all night, found a nickname coat to cover him, and then said to the officers standing indoors: "The division commander didn't rest all night last night, everyone left first, and when the army commander came, you will come over together." ”

After these people heard what Xiao Yuying said, they realized that the dissolution that the new division commander said before was not a joke or anything, but indeed let them move on their own. So they all retreated, and only a few officers brought from Kaifeng by Xiao Yuying, Lu Man and Sun Yumin were left in the entire division headquarters.

Li Tiedan and Deng Dongping also tossed all night last night, and they didn't care about anything, they sat on the chairs next to the conference table one after another, and fell asleep on the table.

Liu Wenzhi didn't go last night, he walked out, and the corpses and seizures outside needed to be disposed of by him. Xiao Yuying didn't feel sleepy at all, and wanted to go to Lu Man, but when she saw Sun Yumin sleeping until her saliva flowed, she couldn't help but play with her heart, took out her handkerchief from her pocket, and carefully wiped the water stains on his face for him.

Before Liu Wenzhi was busy with these things, he sent a telegram to the headquarters of the 46th Division in the name of Sun Yumin, indicating that it needed to be transferred to Chen Bui, and the telegram wrote: "In the early morning of January 11, the 27th year of the Republic of China, on my way to the headquarters of the 20th Division of Heze, I suddenly encountered a Japanese army in Lankao, and won a complete victory after a fierce battle, capturing 15 Japanese soldiers, annihilating 223 enemies, seizing a batch of guns and ammunition, wounding 29 people and killing 0 people. The photos of the results of the battle, the captures and the prisoners are all in the headquarters of the 20th Division, please instruct how to deal with them. ”

He did this without asking Sun Yumin, who was sleeping, for instructions, because he knew that this was something that he would definitely do, and it was only because Sun Yumin was too tired that he would forget this step, and he had the obligation to help him fill in the gaps.

……

When the telegraph operator reported this good news to Gui Yongqing, he was stunned by the results of the telegram, and immediately regretted giving a company of elite soldiers to Sun Yumin in vain.

Gui Yongqing didn't dare to seize this good news, and there was no need to do it, he hurriedly sent this good news to the door of the conference room, where Lao Jiang was discussing with some leaders how to deal with Han Fuyu's affairs.

When Chen Bui took the telegram from Gui Yongqing, who knocked on the door and came in, after a brief glance, he was overjoyed, and he said to Jiang Guangtou, who was full of anger, "President, good news." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Guangtou hadn't heard these two words for a long time, and he asked, "Where did the good news come from?" ”

Chen Bui hurriedly handed over the telegram in his hand, Lao Jiang took it, read it quickly, and sighed while reading: "Okay! Good! Good! ”

The generals sitting below all looked at each other, not knowing what other good news they didn't know about in these five theaters.

Li Pinxian asked, "Headmaster, what makes you so happy?" ”

Jiang Guangtou handed the telegram back to Chen Bui and said, "Yan Ji, you miss it." ”

Chen Bui took the telegram and began to read: "In the early morning of January 11, the 27th year of the Republic of China, on my way to the headquarters of the 20th Division of Heze, I suddenly encountered a Japanese army in Lankao, and won a complete victory after a fierce battle, capturing 15 Japanese soldiers, destroying 223 enemies, seizing a batch of guns and ammunition, wounding 29 people and 0 killed in battle. The photos of the results of the battle, the captures and the prisoners are all in the headquarters of the 20th Division, please instruct how to deal with them. ”

As soon as Chen Bui's voice fell, Lao Jiang said: "This telegram was sent by Sun Yumin, the new commander of the 20th Division. He looked at Li Zongren, who was sitting under him, and continued: "This order was issued by me a few days ago, and I haven't informed everyone yet. Delin, this time I sent you a tiger general in the fifth war zone, you have to use it well, don't let down Yan Ji's kindness. ”

Lao Jiang saw that Li Zongren didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all, and explained: "This Sun Yumin is Yanji's fast son-in-law who rides the dragon, and he is a fierce general who walked down from the Songhu battlefield and Nanjing City." ”

Li Zongren was not surprised when he heard the results of the battle report, and anyone present in the squadron could do it. However, when he heard that Sun Yumin encountered the Japanese army on the way to take office, and his strength and firepower were far inferior to the other party, and he could still completely annihilate the enemy under such circumstances, and his own side was killed, he was not calm, and said: "If it is really as the telegram said, then hand over the 20th Division to him, I am 100 in favor, and the 5th Theater will also use the 20th Division as a trump card in the future." ”

Lao Jiang finally had a little smile on his face after a day, and he said: "Delin, don't think that only your Gui army can fight, aside from Yan Ji, this Sun Yumin is definitely a tiger general, and if you use it well, he is definitely a character who can help you change the situation of the battle." ”

Li Zongren has been against Lao Jiang all his life, but there is a rare consensus on this matter, he said: "Jiang Gong, since the 20th Division has been handed over to him, simply hand it over to him, let him appoint the brigade commander by himself, even if his qualifications are poor, it doesn't matter, as long as the troops can form a fist or an iron plate around him, then my Fifth War Zone is really a new force." ”

Chen Bui said on the side: "Degong, when the president gave the order at that time, he had already taken this into account, and the order had clearly stated that the officers below the brigade level were appointed by him, and even gave him the power of life and death. ”

Li Zongren patted his head and said with a smile: "It's me who is too worried." ”

Lao Jiang waved his hand and said to Li Zongren: "The worries of the neighbors are exactly what I am worried about, and the reason why I have this concern is also because the 20th Division is Han Fuyu's old foundation, although Sun Tongxuan is the commander of the entire brigade who should take away in person, but I am still not at ease, so I made an exception and gave him such an order." ”

…………

…………

Sun Yumin didn't know that when he was snoring, many high-ranking generals in Kaifeng were discussing his problem, and the discussion finally got a very satisfactory result.

And Xiao Yuying was bored in every way, and finally ran out, found Liu Wenzhi, who was busy and anxious, and was about to pull him to get Sun Yumin something to eat, but saw three jeeps speeding up, and the group of people who had greeted Sun Yumin before gathered from all over to the entrance of the temporary division department, and the chief of staff who had been scolded by Sun Yumin ran to the back door of the jeep in the middle, opened the door, and greeted a soldier wearing a lieutenant general's uniform.

When Sun Yumin was woken up by Xiao Yuying, who ran in in a hurry, Sun Tongxuan had already walked into the temporary division headquarters, and stood at the door to look at the young man who was still yawning.

Xiao Yuying's soft voice came from Sun Yumin's ears: "Brother, the main lord is here." ”

Following Xiao Yuying's gaze, Sun Yumin saw the lieutenant general who was looking at him with a smile on his face, no one needed to introduce him, he knew that this person was Sun Tongxuan, the former commander of the 20th Division, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the 12th Army.

Everyone knows that although being a commander is said to be a promotion, it is not the case, the 12th Army has a total of two divisions, the 20th Division is a supernumerary A division, and the 81st Division is a C division with only two brigades and four regiments.

Sun Tongxuan secretly knew the truth, but there was no way, yesterday he accompanied Han Fuyu to Kaifeng to attend a high-level military meeting, and as a result, Han Fuyu, who was the chairman of Shandong Province and the commander of the Third Army, never came back, and he was also personally called by Lao Jiang to talk, and he asked him to hand over the 20th Division. Although the twentieth division is the most important family background for Han Fuyu and himself, but the current situation has no choice but to give it to himself, so he simply gave up this treasure that he had worked hard for six or seven years.
