Accepting this military flag and receiving this number means that Sun Yumin's previous plan to break away from the national army with all his efforts and even by swindling death has completely become a joke.

At this time, Sun Yumin's mind was full of Lu Man. If she knew what kind of reaction she would have after this decision, would she abandon herself again, or even give herself a chance to defend herself.

"Commander Sun, Zhang and the district commander didn't come empty-handed, on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Liao Lei, they brought you a lot of weapons and equipment, food and materials, you can send someone to collect it."

Zhang Yichun's voice interrupted Sun Yumin's thoughts, and he suddenly thought that not only did he have to receive supplies, but the three veteran companies were still competing, and they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Thank you Commander Liao, thank you Chief He, and thank you even more to Commander Zhang and Brother Shou Nian."

With other people's hands short, Sun Yumin can still say a few polite words.

"Commander Sun, don't be polite, in the future, you and I will both belong to the battle sequence of the 21st Group Army, and we have to take care of each other."

"That's inevitable, the Huoshan Independent Detachment still has to rely on the care of Commander Zhang and Brother Shou Nian." After Sun Yumin and Zhang Yichun exchanged a few polite words, they waved twice at Deng Dongping, who was standing under the stage, and after he came to the stage, he whispered to him: "Let one, two, three take it back, take a break, and start the second competition at ten o'clock." Let Huang Wei put away the military flag and let them keep it first. You take the new barracks to the entrance of the village, the trucks and mule carts are full of our supplies, all of them are unloaded, as for where to put them, you go and ask Wenzhi and Sister Gu, and this matter will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes, Commander."

Deng Dongping's voice was very loud, and the military salute he gave him was very standard, Sun Yumin could see that this dignified and upright establishment was what Deng Dongping was looking forward to, although he had lived in the wilderness with him for so long, but he or his brothers had the blood of a soldier.

"Wenzhi, Sister Gu, Tie Gu, the three of you also come here." After Sun Yumin finished explaining Deng Dongping, he shouted to the audience again.

Gu Hongying was still holding Chu Jiu in her hands, this little guy was frightened by the huge response of the soldiers a few times on the playground, but he didn't cry, he heard his father's voice, and kept staring at the stage, either looking at Sun Yumin or looking at her aunt and aunt, her little head definitely didn't understand why the three people who loved her the most now ignored her and hugged her.

Gu Hongying heard Sun Yumin's call, she wanted to carry Chu Jiu to the stage, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly handed the little guy to Zhou Shanjun. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiu had already seen his father, where was she willing to let Zhou Shanjun hug her, she didn't cry when she was frightened, but at the moment she was crying. In desperation, she had to hold the little guy and finally go to the viewing platform.

Fortunately, as soon as she got on the stage, although Sun Yumin ignored the little guy, Xiao Yuying reached out and took it, and coaxed Chen Lai to stop her crying.

"Wenzhi, don't go to the scene when you will be assessed, work hard with Sister Gu, and receive, make a book, and put the materials into storage. Also, prepare a meal for the friendly brothers, find a place for the friendly brothers to rest. ”

"Yes, big brother!"

"Yes, Dongping!"

Sun Yumin's biggest concern before was Liu Wenzhi, he always thought that this old subordinate would strongly oppose the matter of accepting the establishment of the national army and returning to the national army sequence. Seeing that he was now as plain as water, Sun Yumin relaxed a little.

"Tie Guts, you and I are mainly responsible for the big competition today, and you are the main one and I are the auxiliary, do you understand?"

After arranging Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying, he told Silly Xiong again, let him do the assessment, it is also the most appropriate, although he is not a qualified commander, but his military quality is first-class, and the assessment of this work can just increase his vanity and self-confidence.

"Girl and Xiaolai, you are responsible for entertaining the VIPs, and invite Commander Zhang, Brother Shou Nian, and Staff Officer Zhang to our house to sit down, and treat them with good tea and wine." After he said this, he said to the two of them, let Ganglenzi follow you and help you fight.

When Sun Yumin arranged this series of things, he did not shy away from Zhang Yichun and them, and they nodded frequently when they heard these words, and their good impression of him obviously increased a lot. They are all commanders of the troops, and they ask themselves if they can't do it like Sun Yumin, no matter how big or small, they are all properly arranged and considered in detail.

"Commander Sun, you don't have to arrange someone to accompany us, Zhang still wants to see the assessment of your department!"

"Yes, I have the same idea as Junzao, and Commander Sun can't refuse."

Ou Shounian was full of smiles, he had seen Sun Yubu's combat effectiveness, and he dared to enter the Foziling full of enemies with a company of soldiers, which he couldn't even imagine. Since then, he has always wanted to know how this Sun Yumin led the troops, even if he is not afraid of death, the soldiers he brought out are not afraid of death. After seeing the assessment of this armed attack today, he understood a little, and carrying a heavy machine gun and carrying a bullet box had already opened his eyes, not to mention the unheard of assessment method of taking the results of the last person in the company.

"Commander Sun was born in the teaching corps, right?" After reading the order, Staff Officer Zhang was left cold for a long time after handing over the military flag, and then suddenly interjected a sentence.

"That's right, I'm from the teaching corps. How? Any questions? ”

Sun Yumin didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question.

"Then do you remember Ma Weilong?"

Staff Officer Zhang asked again.

"Of course I remember, didn't Brother Ma always follow the head seat? When I was the chief of the quartermaster logistics department of the 46th Division, he was the commander of the 136th Brigade. ”

"I am fortunate to be the combat staff officer of the Brigade Commander Ma Brigade Headquarters, and today I see that the training methods of your unit are somewhat similar to the methods used by Brigade Commander Ma before, and he also pays attention to making the companies and battalions under him form a whole. So I wondered if these were all training methods that had been left over from the teaching corps. ”

"The teaching corps was the trump card in the Central Army back then, and there were naturally a lot of generals who could fight, but this training method really didn't come from the teaching corps, it was explored by Sun Mou's many years of experience in the army, as for the training methods used by Brother Ma are similar to me, because at the age of forty-six, we had a good relationship and often exchanged experiences with each other." Speaking of this, Sun Yumin smiled and said to Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian: "Don't hide it from the two of you, some of my current right-hand men are still from Brigade Commander Ma back then. ”

"Haha......"

Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian laughed.

"Where is Brother Ma now? Did you follow Mr. Gui to ascend? Or continue in the forty-sixth division? ”

"Gui Zongzuo ......"

As soon as Sun Yumin's question came out, Staff Officer Zhang didn't know how to answer. During the Battle of Lanfeng, the 88th Division of Long Muhan under Gui Yongqing withdrew without authorization, which made Kaifeng and Zhengzhou face a direct threat from the Japanese army, and also greatly damaged the "Battle of Lanfeng" plan formulated by the Kuomintang. The elite troops of the Kuomintang were nearly 150,000 people, and they failed to annihilate the besieged Tufeiyuan Division of nearly 30,000 people, if it were not for Sun Yumin's 20th Division fighting desperately and bloodily to defeat the Tufeiyuan Division, the Battle of Lanfeng would have become a joke for the ages, although Gui Yongqing finally used the chariot battalion and the entire 46th Division to rescue the 20th Division that had become a remnant, but it was still removed from his post and investigated because of Longmu Han's unauthorized retreat. In the first battle of Lanfeng, a group of lineage generals, including Huang Jie and Gui Yongqing, were dismissed, and Long Muhan was executed, being the first lineage general to be executed. After the war, although Gui Yongqing did not punish him severely because of his close relationship with He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, he lost the right to directly command the troops.

Sun Yumin had been recuperating from his wounds since that battle, and because he had already had the idea of leaving the national army, he had ignored the news in the army since the Huayuankou incident, so he did not know that Gui Yongqing had been transferred to the head of education of the "wartime cadre training regiment" without the slightest military power.

As for Ma Weilong, he is even more unclear.

In his memory, the brigade commander who had the best relationship with him in the 46th Division, the brother who was born in the teaching corps with him, had no news after Zhu Zhuang saved his troops, and if it hadn't been for Staff Officer Zhang's sudden mention today, he would not have remembered to ask about the whereabouts of this good brother.

But seeing Staff Officer Zhang's stumbling appearance, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Gui?" Did something happen to him or did Brigadier Ma have an accident? ”

Staff Officer Zhang didn't expect that Sun Yumin didn't know about Gui and Ma, and his extra words now became difficult to ride a tiger, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked at Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian, wanting to get the guidance of the two of them.

"Commander Sun, no, Brother Yuminxian, how old is Zhang, don't you mind calling him that, right?"

"How so! Commander Zhang, please speak. ”

"After the Battle of Lanfeng, General Gui was held accountable along with Huang Jie and several others, and was removed from the post of commander of the 27th Army, and now serves as the education chief of the 'Wartime Cadre Training Corps'. Although it is said to be a demote on the surface, it is actually a promotion, and you also know that after becoming the chief of education, those officers who are the backbone of various departments will be his students in the future, and there may be a few more powerful characters like Yumin's brothers. ”

He agreed with Zhang Yichun's remarks, and the best examples are Lao Jiang and Zhang Zhizhong, a principal and an education chief, in exchange for how many loyal generals and descendants, Gui Yongqing's later officers to naval commanders and this experience also has a lot to do with this experience.

"What about Brigadier Ma Weilong? Does Commander Zhang know where he is now? ”

"I don't know much about this, but I just know that in the Battle of Lanfeng that year, the 46th Division reorganized by the Teaching Corps suffered equally heavy casualties, and the three brigade commanders were killed and seriously wounded. It was almost only slightly better than the 20th Division, and it was precisely because of this that the commission did not blame General Gui heavily. ”

Zhang Yichun is telling the truth, he really doesn't know Ma Weilong.

"Brigade Commander Ma has been martyred."

Staff Officer Zhang hesitated for a while, and finally said these words.

Sun Yumin didn't want to believe this, but after seeing Staff Officer Zhang say this, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked, obviously not a lie.

"How did he die?"

Sun Yumin was also a little excited, there were not many people who retreated from Nanjing to teach the corps back then, Ma Weilong was the commander of the Third Brigade at that time, and he was the person with the highest position except Gui Yongqing and Zhou Zhenqiang, when he was in the 46th Division, he and himself really supported each other, not to mention that he led his troops to help at the moment of the survival of the 20th Division, not only solved the plight of the 20th Division, but also saved the life of himself and the little girl. After hearing the news of his martyrdom, how can you not be sad.

After reinforcing and rescuing the besieged friendly forces in Zhuzhuang, Brigade Commander Ma immediately led the 136th Brigade to cooperate with the main force to carry out a counteroffensive, and surrounded the remnants of Tufeiyuan in the area of Luowangzhai and Sanyizhai. The enemy took advantage of the treacherous terrain to resist stubbornly, and the battle was extremely fierce. Brigade Commander Ma Weilong personally went to the front line of the battlefield and led his troops to fight bloodily and bravely charge the Japanese army. In the fierce battle, he also personally set up a machine gun and fired fiercely at the enemy group. Unfortunately, he was shot by a Japanese sharpshooter and died a heroic death at the age of 33. ”

Staff Officer Zhang was following Ma Weilong at the time, and witnessed this scene with his own eyes, although his voice trembled and choked slightly when he narrated, he spoke in detail and clearly.

Sun Yumin immediately understood that during the bloody battle of Lanfeng that year, Ma Weilong relieved his siege in Zhuzhuang, but he unexpectedly saw himself being hit by a cold gun, and he was angry for a while, and led his troops to storm the remnants of Tufeiyuan, so that he would die on the battlefield of Lanfeng. In the final analysis, Ma Weilong was burned by hatred and lost his mind because of guilt and blamed him for not being able to protect himself, and finally died unfortunately.

After knowing the news that Ma Weilong had been martyred, Sun Yumin's heart could not be calm for a long time, he was full of emotion for a while, and patted the shoulder of Staff Officer Zhang, who was a little excited, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't say anything.

"A few distinguished guests, let's go to the house to rest first, and then come to see the assessment here after a cup of tea?"

Chen Lai's invitation came at the right time, breaking the slightly sad atmosphere of several people's questions.

Sun Yumin did not accompany Zhang Yichun and them to rest, and took Zhou Shanjun to the barracks.

Sure enough, as he expected, except for the first and third consecutive were normal, the second and third companies did not come to the canteen for breakfast at all. You don't have to think about it to know that it must be Li Tianxi and Dong Wenbin who are talking.

"Go and inform the commander of the second company and the commander of the third company to bring the troops over for dinner."

Sun Yumin was not angry, and he was calm when he gave this order. When Li Tianxi and Dong Wenbin stood in front of him with shame on their faces, he still didn't get angry, but said lightly: "I have to take the bomb test at ten o'clock, if you don't want to lose, hurry up and let the brothers eat enough, and then let them rest." Don't feel that losing an item is like the sky is going to drag it down, if you can't bring a company well, how can you talk about a battalion and a regiment? ”

Although Sun Yumin did not reprimand the two of them, the effect was far better than scolding them. After listening to his words, the two woke up like a dream and hurriedly brought the troops into the canteen.

After solving the matter of the veteran company, he and Zhou Shanjun came to the company of Huang Wei in the new barracks again. Most of the soldiers were sent to carry and unload supplies, except for Huang Wei and a few soldiers who were guarding the fluttering military flag, the barracks were empty.

"Commander."

Seeing Sun Yumin coming, Huang Wei hurriedly ran over, stood up straight two or three meters in front of him, saluted a standard military salute, and changed the title in his mouth from boss to commander.

Sun Yumin was actually not mentally prepared to accept this title, so he didn't return the salute, but just said to him: "Form a platoon, you will take care of it, and be responsible for the battle flag." The flag is in the people, and the flag is dead. ”
