Chapter 60: Preparation
Sun Yumin took Liu Wenzhi to chat in the office for an afternoon, told him Chen Bui's promise, and told him his plans.
Liu Wenzhi was not as excited as he imagined, he basically listened to Sun Yumin's account expressionlessly, and did not say a word during the whole process.
Sun Yumin had already noticed his abnormality, and always thought that it was the shadow left by Nanjing City, which made this man who had experienced a hundred battles lose the courage to fight, and he did not plan to let him lead the army to the front line again, so he had already planned to let him serve as his chief of staff, and reminded himself by his side all the time.
"Do you really want to take troops into battle again?" Liu Wenzhi asked lightly.
Sun Yumin didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, and was silent for a while before saying: "I can choose to steal my life, but my conscience will torment me for the rest of my life." What about you? Wouldn't it? ”
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go to war again." Liu Wenzhi smiled helplessly. "But you're all gone, how can I hide behind my back? Which troop do you want to go to now? ”
"Leave it to fate, let me go to whichever army I want, I don't have to choose." Sun Yumin spread out his hand and said to him: "If I can really choose, I would like to go back to the Northwest Army." ”
Liu Wenzhi laughed and said, "It's the same as I thought!" ”
He pretended to be mysterious and said to Sun Yumin: "Commander Sun's Second Army is now under the command of Chief Li of the Fifth Theater, and they are now also stationed in Henan. ”
"I have known this for a long time, and I want to think about it, but Chen Bui's hand may not be able to rise to the Second Army." Sun Yumin said that he did not have much hope of returning to the Northwest Army.
"So where do you think we'll be transferred this time?" Liu Wenzhi was a little depressed when he heard that he couldn't go back to the old Northwest Army.
"It depends on how Chen Bui talks to Lao Jiang about this, according to my speculation, according to Lao Jiang's temperament, if Mr. Chen tells him what I said, we are most likely to go to the Third Army this time." Sun Yumin said calmly.
Sun Yumin didn't know that his speculation eventually came true, and on the day Han Fuyu surrendered Tai'an, his transfer order reached the 46th Division.

…………
In the small restaurant, everyone sat at two tables, no one paid attention to the wine and food on the table, their eyes were fixed on Sun Yumin, waiting for him to speak.
Sun Yumin looked at the two tables of people, Lu Man, Xiao Yuying, Liu Wenzhi, Li Tiedan, Zhang Xiaohu, Deng Dongping and Qian Jin sat at his own table, and the other table sat two soldiers brought by Dong Wenbin, Lin Yuanping, Tie Niu and Deng Dongping, and two officers brought by Zhang Xiaohu, a total of fifteen people.
Sun Yumin thought in his heart: Except for Lu Man, Xiao Yuying and Qian Jin, these eleven people will be his backbone in the future, and they will rely on them to lead the troops in front of the devil.
"Brothers, you probably know why you're gathering today, and I know that many of you have been looking forward to it for a long time." Sun Yumin paused and continued: "Before I speak, let me reiterate my request to everyone. Liu Wenzhi, Qian Jin, and Li Tiedang ......" He glanced at Zhang Xiaohu, and then said: "And Zhang Xiaohu, they all know very well that it is not so easy to truly achieve my life and death brothers, first of all, you must remember your position and identity, and your words and deeds will represent me." So no matter what time and place, you only need to listen to one person's order, even if it is a wrong order, even if it is death or a sea of swords and fire, you need to bring your people to me. After Sun Yumin said these words, he asked loudly: "Who is this person who makes you have to obey orders unconditionally?" ”
"Sun Yumin!" Even Xiao Yuying was shouting at the top of her voice.
"Can you do it?"
"Yes!" Everyone was passionate.
Lu Man had never seen this kind of occasion similar to a mobilization meeting, he felt very fresh and curious, and his enthusiasm was also pulled up, and he shouted with everyone. Not only that, but the look in her eyes at Sun Yumin changed from the previous infatuation to an extra worship.
"Okay, since everyone can do it, then I will say ugly things in the front, whoever dares to break today's oath in the future, the brothers present, no matter who it is, others must put him to death, even if it is the ends of the earth." Sun Yumin had to establish his prestige on such occasions, and he didn't care how shocking his cold words and hideous face felt.
One sentence instantly struck the original passion into cold and abnormal, and the two new officers felt a chill rising from their spines.
Sun Yumin pointed to the two soldiers brought by Deng Dongping and said, "You two introduce yourself to everyone. ”
The two quickly stood up, and the slightly taller and thinner one on the left said first: "Report director, my name is Huang Baiduo, a native of Hubei, I used to be a squad leader in the guard company of the 87th Division, and I am good at heavy machine guns. The one on the right who was a little shorter and a little chubby then said: "I am from Henan, my name is Zhao Youqian, and I am good at fighting bayonets." ”
"Your name is Zhao Youqian?" When Xiao Yuying heard his words, she asked with a smile, and when she saw Sun Yumin staring at her, she immediately became very honest.
Sun Yumin motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then pointed to the two officers brought by Zhang Xiaohu, and said, "You two should also introduce them." ”
The two glanced at each other, stood up, saluted Sun Yumin, and said, "Report to the office, my name is Sun Jiehai, and I am good at shooting artillery." As soon as he said this, Sun Yumin squirted out all the sip of wine he had just drunk, fortunately he was drinking with Liu Wenzhi, and he was facing the little girl, and the wine in his mouth sprayed the little girl's face, otherwise he would definitely spray all the dishes on the table.
Xiao Yuying thought that he was doing it on purpose, and angrily went to Lu Man to complain, and Lu Man glanced at Sun Yumin, who was coughing with a white smile, and pulled the little girl out, helping her wipe the wine stains on her face with a handkerchief as she walked.
Liu Wenzhi couldn't understand the word cannon, but Sun Yumin was particularly harsh in his ears, especially when Sun Jiehai said the word in a straight voice, he didn't control himself, and immediately burst out laughing.
Sun Jiehai stood there, not knowing why the seat in front of him was laughing so much, and stood in place with a confused expression, at a loss.
Sun Yumin laughed for a while, feeling that he was indeed a bit out of shape like this, and it took a lot of effort to stop laughing, then stood up, stretched out his hand to Sun Jiehai, and said, "I was a little embarrassed just now, welcome to join us." Seeing him, he didn't mind, and said: "What was your position in the 138th Brigade before?" ”
"Report to the office, I am the deputy battalion commander of the 138th Brigade Artillery Battalion." Sun Jiehai said.
Sun Yumin's heart blossomed, since the death of Regiment Commander Xie Chengrui, he has not been able to find a qualified and experienced artillery instructor, but now it is good, God sent an artillery chief officer to him for nothing.
Sun Yumin held his hand and never let go, and said: "Great, in the future, the artillery support of our group of people will depend on you, I will definitely give you enough artillery and ammunition." ”
"Thank you." Sun Jiehai hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and when Sun Yumin's hand was released, he introduced another officer beside him and said, "Seat, this brother is also from the artillery battalion, Qiu Zehua, the commander of the second company, is from Henan." ”
"You're also welcome." Sun Yumin raised his hand towards him.
Suddenly got two artillery talents, which made Sun Yumin very happy, and there was another layer of estrangement between Zhang Xiaohu in his heart, and he was even thinking that if he let a few more people get out of the army, maybe more talents would be dug up.
Sun Yumin beckoned everyone: "Eat first, and I'll talk to everyone when I'm full of food and drink." ”
Li Tietang has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, picking up the rice bowl and starting to dry, before everyone can come to their senses, he has already finished the first bowl of white rice.
Sun Yumin didn't eat, he got up to find Xiao Yuying and Lu Man, and when he walked out of the store, he found that these two guys actually asked the shopkeeper to move a table and put it outside, and they ate outside the door by the street lamp on the street, which made Sun Yumin cry and laugh, fortunately, there was no wind these days, and it was not very cold, and the two girls were wearing military uniforms, so they didn't have to worry about safety and other issues, so he didn't get over. The two girls didn't see him, so they let him turn around and go back, ignoring him.
Sun Yumin padded his stomach a little, and when he saw that everyone had put down the dishes and chopsticks, obviously they had eaten and drunk enough, so he asked Deng Dongping to call back the two girls, and invited the other people in the restaurant out and closed the door of the store. Because they had told the restaurant owner about these things beforehand, they were soon left with only fifteen of them in the restaurant.
Sun Yumin stood up, clapped his palms, signaled the people who were talking to be quiet, and then said: "I said before that today's goal, I am here to give you a thorough understanding, I will soon take up a new position, which is what you often call a promotion, so soon you will follow me to the new army." As soon as the words fell, everyone became excited, Sun Yumin was promoted, he would naturally take them with him, and he would naturally promote their positions, this is the so-called one person gets ahead, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven. Sun Yumin motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "After you arrive at the new unit, some of you will also take the position of military commander alone. Whether you can do it or not, whether you can afford it or not, this time you have to catch the ducks on the shelves. Now we have three things that need to be done immediately, and I will divide the work among you. ”
Seeing that Sun Yumin was speaking very seriously, everyone didn't dare to say anything, waiting for his assignment.
Sun Yumin continued: "The first thing is to recruit troops, and to recruit our so-called spy company, which is actually our backbone company. On the side of the 138th Brigade, I have already agreed with Brigade Commander Ma that the officers and soldiers below the captain level will support us unconditionally. This matter is done by Liu Wenzhi, Li Tiedan, Zhang Xiaohu, Sun Jiehai, and Qiu Zehua, and my requirements for the soldiers are: the first is good character and strong cohesion, and the second is military quality. ”
The five people who were named quickly stood up and replied in unison: "Yes!" ”
Sun Yumin looked at Sun Jiehai and Qiu Zehua and said, "You two go and choose some artillery backbones, and don't hollow out the 138 Brigade." ”
The two replied, "Yes!" ”
Sun Yumin waved them to sit down, turned to Xiao Yuying beside him and said: "You can do the second thing, Dong Wenbin and Lin Yuanping will pull it out for you, and you must vacate the barracks of a reinforced company and a canteen that can provide food for the big guys in the next two days, as well as the cooking staff, you can ask for money." ”
Xiao Yuying saw that it was this kind of uninteresting thing that was handed over to her, and she was a little grumpy, and said, "Wouldn't it be better to let the money go in?" Save me from having to ask back and forth. ”
Sun Yumin knocked on the little girl who was squirming and pinching, and said: "He wants to help me deal with the big mess of the Quartermaster Department, you can just take care of it, then hand over the financial power to Qian Jin, and you can play with guns every day." "It's too easy to catch the little girl's braids, as long as you say that you have received her money, you will immediately agree to whatever you want, except for the money.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuying immediately returned the favor and said, "Don't think about it, can't I go to get a dormitory and a canteen!" ”
Lu Man, who was on the side, couldn't help laughing when he saw Sun Yumin tidying up this difficult girl, and said in his heart: It's really one thing and one thing.
Sun Yumin didn't continue to argue with Xiao Yuying, turned to Lu Man and said, "The third thing is yours, the war is about to start, I need to stock up on a large amount of penicillin and some other anti-inflammatory drugs, and I also need a group of surgeons and nurses, how much can you help?" ”
Lu Man didn't expect Sun Yumin to put such a heavy burden on himself, and he couldn't react for a while.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Sun Yumin asked again, "What's wrong?" Is it difficult? ”
Lu Man frowned and said, "Now that there are wars everywhere, a penicillin on the black market is about to be sold for the price of a small yellow croaker, and it is very difficult to hoard it, and other anti-inflammatory powders may be easier to handle." As for the doctors and nurses, I'll get in touch first, and then I'll get back to you. ”
Sun Yumin also knew in his heart that this matter was the most difficult, so he handed it over to Lu Man, who was very hard in the background, so that others didn't need to do it, it was very simple that no one could complete this matter except Lu Man.
As a descendant, he knew very well that if there were enough medicines and slightly better medical conditions during the Anti-Japanese War, then how many soldiers and civilians would be sacrificed, which was also Sun Yumin's original intention to set up a perfect field hospital.
No matter how difficult it is, Sun Yumin wants to try it, he said to Lu Man: "Looking for your former colleagues or friends, if you can't do it, can you ask the old gentleman to help?" He didn't tell Chen Bui in front of so many people, and he also told the little girl and Li Tiedan not to reveal her identity.
Lu Man looked at Sun Yumin, who had a resolute face, and couldn't bear to say a word, even if she knew how difficult and difficult this matter was, she decided to try it hard, maybe in her heart, this was her only advantage over Chen Yun. She said four words to Sun Yumin: "I'll try." ”
Sun Yumin is very happy, he knows her very well, and if he says that he wants to do something, he will definitely do it to the end, even if he takes it himself, Nanjing is like this, and it is the same now. He is rarely so excited, is it just because of a field hospital that is still ethereal, Sun Yumin himself can't tell, he said to Deng Dongping, who has not yet been named: "You take people to the warehouse in the next two days to select our weapons, equipment and materials, for your own family, and pick the best ones to take." After the whole company is assembled, you will serve as the first company commander, Li Tiedang will be your deputy, Liu Wenzhi and I will be guest instructors, and everyone else, including yourself, will participate in the training. Seeing Qian Jin and Lu Man, who were full of shock, he said: "Except for Qian Jin, Lu Man, and Liu Yuying." ”
……
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaohu and the five of them drove eight trucks from the Quartermaster Logistics Department to the 138th Brigade to select people, which made Qian Jin complain, he had few trucks here, but he was still quite supportive, and specially asked those drivers to bring some in-demand goods to attract people.
Xiao Yuying also took Dong Wenbin and Lin Yuanping to start busy, she originally planned to deal with the barracks on the edge of the warehouse by herself, but she cleared out a small barracks in the morning, but she was too tired, so she had to follow Dong Wenbin's advice, invited a large group of laborers to work, and cleaned up all the rooms at noon.
Deng Dongping, with Huang Baiduo and Zhao Youqian, with the help of several warehouse keepers and guards, selected hundreds of sets of military uniforms and hundreds of sets of weapons and equipment, and put them all into the spy company headquarters that Xiao Yuying cleaned out.
