Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Storm

When Sun Yumin got the report that the surrounded devils had forcibly penetrated the position of the newly formed Third Regiment under the cover of the plane and fled, he slammed his fist on the table, startling Tang Chunhong, who came to report, and Liu Wenzhi, who was sorting out the battle report documents.

The new 3rd Regiment fought very badly, and even in the face of strafing from the constantly diving enemy planes and the bombardment of aerial bombs with nowhere to hide, it did not flinch a single step. It wasn't until there was no one on the position who could move anymore that Kei Seya and Yaezo Akashiba escaped with the remaining remnants of less than 500 soldiers, and when Lai Wenli arrived with the 115th regiment, the remaining devils and puppet soldiers were nowhere to be seen.

The new 3rd Regiment was wiped out from the regiment commander down, and only the wounded who had been carried off the ground were left.

The newly formed third regiment has been guarding the division headquarters since the beginning of the battle against Juye, and has never participated in the siege and blocking battle of the five cities, this is the first battle to make the whole regiment annihilated, Sun Yumin was so painful that he couldn't help himself, and even Chen Yun came to deliver the meal was overturned by him.

Xiao Yuying has been guarding Lu Man for the past two days and has never been to Sun Yumin's side, and when she heard the soldiers say that the division commander was angry, she hurried over, and saw Chen Yun silently cleaning up the food on the ground, snatched the broom in her hand, and said, "Sister Chen Yun, you go to rest, let me do it." ”

Liu Wenzhi stopped him, half-pulled and half-pushed Chen Yun and her out of the room, and said softly: "Let him calm down, a group is gone like this, and he feels uncomfortable." ”

"Sun Yumin, you bastard." A voice came from afar, it was a voice that Xiao Yuying was unfamiliar with, she heard someone scolding her eldest brother, and she began to fight back with her throat: "Which one who doesn't have long eyes dares to scold my brother, is it boring?" ”

Different from the roughness of the previous scolding male voice, her voice was unusually sharp and high, and Chen Yun and Liu Wenzhi, who were standing on the side, unconsciously covered their ears.

The one who scolded Sun Yumin was a soldier with the rank of major general, who was being supported by several officers and walked towards the division headquarters, he probably didn't expect that someone would talk back, and he was stunned for a moment while walking, and then continued to come this way. An officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel next to him pointed at the three of them with his finger and cursed in his mouth: "Which bitch raised us is tired of being tired?" I think she's too long. ”

Xiao Yuying exploded when she heard this, jumped out from behind Liu Wenzhi, and scolded: "Hey, where did you get the dog, it's so powerful, you dare to come to our 20th division and bark wildly, I'm afraid it's because I'm afraid I'm too long." ”

Liu Wenzhi was afraid that she would make things bigger, so he hurriedly stood in front of her and said softly: "Don't make trouble for the eldest brother." ”

Xiao Yuying didn't continue to ridicule after hearing this. The lieutenant colonel was also stopped by a colonel next to him, and the two did not continue to curse.

Liu Wenzhi saw that the leader was a major general, so he greeted him, saluted and said, "Liu Wenzhi, chief of staff of the 20th Division, may I ask who your Excellency is?" Find out what our division commander is doing. ”

Hearing that Liu Wenzhi, who had the rank of colonel, reported to his home, the major general was not too lazy, and returned the salute and said: "In the Xiazhan Shutang, I came to aid your 20th division on the order of Commander Sun, but ......" He did not continue, but asked: "What about Sun Yumin?" Don't you dare to see people and hide? ”

"Joke, what am I afraid to meet?" Sun Yumin's voice came out of the room, and the person also walked out, looking at the arrogant major general in front of him, he frowned, looking like he didn't want to see him, and his voice was also very impatient: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

The major general looked very surprised, he didn't expect Sun Yumin to be so unpopular, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, his face was red and white, and he said stubbornly: "Contemptible Zhanshutang, and you are under the jurisdiction of the Twelfth Army。。。。。。 ”

"Are you here?" Sun Yumin just heard the dispute between Xiao Yuying and the people inside, and he had the intention to help the little girl find the field, he glared at the few people around the major general, and continued: "I just heard someone standing in my division department and scolding my adjutant and secretary for being a bitch, could it be that the person who said this has seen it in which kiln?" ”

In the regulations of the national army, it is strictly forbidden for officers to take concubines and visit kilns, and violators will be demoted to a lower rank or a heavier sentence.

So when Sun Yumin said this, the lieutenant colonel immediately lowered his head and hid in the rear.

Zhanshutang was stunned, and his heart was very unhappy, and when he saw Yumin asking him, he replied: "Master Sun is afraid that the nobles will forget things!" Zhan someone, I don't believe you, dare to say that you have not received a telegram from the military seat, dare to say that you have not received a telegram from the Fifth Theater Command. As he spoke, he took off his white gloves.

Sun Yumin pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot what Master Zhan and Commander Cao were going to do, I'm really busy, please don't be surprised." ”

Zhan Shutang snorted and said, "Even if you have already received the telegram, why do you still make an assertion and launch a general attack on your own, so that the success will be lost?" Seeing that Sun Yumin still didn't have the idea of inviting himself into the division, he was even more unkind: "Can you disobey the order of the 20th Division?" ”

Sun Yumin saw that the commander of the 81st Division looked arrogant, and he suddenly felt disgusted in his heart, and said: "Even if I disobey the order, it will not be your turn to teach me a lesson." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the house, and said as he walked: "Chief of Staff, send off guests." ”

Zhan Shutang was so angry that he threw a pair of white gloves to the ground and scolded: "Sun Yumin, you bastard, sooner or later you will regret it." ”

Liu Wenzhi saw that he had torn his face with the surname Zhan, and he was not polite to him, he deliberately raised his voice, and said in a weird manner: "Master Zhan, please!" ”

Xiao Yuying was very relieved, she followed Liu Wenzhi's example and said, "Master Zhan, please." After finishing speaking, he made a grimace at the few people who came with the exhibition hall, and without waiting for their reaction, he rushed out first.

Liu Wenzhi saw Xiao Yuying's anxious and panicked appearance, he must have gone to play some trick to rectify the family, but this is a military camp, and they are generals and school officials, and no one can afford to do anything, so he quickly stopped her and said sharply: "One day, I and Shizuo will be killed by you." ”

Xiao Yuying was reluctant at first, but after hearing his words, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, okay, let them go, so that the two of you will not be killed by me!" ”

Although Sun Yumin came out to find the little girl's place, his mood was still not calm, he wrote a letter of guilt himself, called Tang Chunhong, and asked him to send it to Wuhan.

Seeing the telegram in her hand, Tang Chunhong didn't know what to do, she stood in front of Sun Yumin and refused to leave, nor did she speak, just turned the manuscript in her hand and played with it over and over again.

Sun Yumin knew that she was worried about herself so she refused to send out the petition in her hand, but such a big negligence and mistake, even if the above forgave her, her conscience would not go, a regiment of more than 3,000 people only left a few hundred wounded in the hospital, every time he thought of this, his heart was like being cut by a knife.

Xiao Yuying and Liu Wenzhi walked in, but Chen Yun didn't, she went to help Sun Yumin prepare the meal again.

Seeing Tang Chunhong, who was deadlocked in front of Sun Yumin, Liu Wenzhi walked up to her and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Chunhong handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Wenzhi and said: "This telegram cannot be sent, the Fifth Theater Command and the Military Department are looking for an excuse to rectify him." "Since the day of the fight for Lu Man against Sun Yumin, this woman no longer calls him the teacher, always a him or directly by name.

Xiao Yuying saw the cold atmosphere in the room, and didn't dare to speak, so she picked up a broom to clean up the food and dishes that had been broken when Sun Yumin lifted the table and fell to the ground.

Liu Wenzhi glanced at the message, which was full of content that he was sorry for the cultivation of the party-state and asked for punishment, and it was full of words about shouldering the responsibility on himself.

He handed the message back to her and said, "Just send it as it is." ”

Tang Chunhong showed a surprised expression on his face, and asked, "But ......"

Liu Wenzhi didn't wait for her to speak, made a gesture to make her stop, and then said: "After sending that message, send this message over immediately, the sooner the better." He took out a telegram from the table full of maps and desperate sheets, walked over, and handed it to Tang Chunhong.

"What's that?" Sun Yumin and Tang Chunhong asked in unison.

"Battle report!" Liu Wenzhi replied that when he said this, he had already walked to his chair and did not turn his head.

…………

Chen Bui was very heavy after receiving Sun Yumin's telegram, he was shocked by the contents, this is the first time he has seen such a telegram in politics for many years, other people are afraid of taking a little responsibility, he is good, all the responsibility is shouldered.

This prospective son-in-law has a problem, what should he do? Did the original text be handed to Lao Jiang or was it hidden for him? Chen Bui suddenly lost his mind.

If the original report is reported, if Lao Jiang is annoyed and ashamed, how can he relieve him and defend him?

If you don't report it in the original text, Dai Li's minions are not vegetarians, and not only Sun Yumin will be in trouble at that time, but I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of it.

Just as he was thinking hard about countermeasures, the secretary sent another telegram, Chen Bui didn't have the heart to read it, and asked him to put it on the table, the secretary saw that he had something on his mind, and didn't dare to speak, but in the end he still couldn't hold back, he said: "This telegram is also from my uncle." ”

Chen Bui was shocked by his words, quickly picked up the message, and quickly read the above content, his originally tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed, and he laughed: "This kid, give me this run, there is such a big victory, are you afraid of losing one or two regiments!" ”

He got up from the chair behind his desk and said to the secretary who was full of doubts: "What are you doing in a daze, help with the dressing, I'm going to the president's office." ”

Lao Jiang listened to Sun Yumin's plea read by Chen Bui, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Chen Bui couldn't figure out what he meant by pity, and he didn't dare to answer, standing aside and looking at Lao Jiang who was pacing.

"Hikoji, what do you think of his message?"

"President, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and no matter how young Sun Yumin is, even if he is a veteran like Delin, he will inevitably make mistakes. Seya Kai ran away, and I can only say that he should not die, and I believe that he will not be so lucky next time. ”

"Yan Ji, I know that you have always been not favoritistic, but in this matter of Sun Yumin, you still have a little subjective emotion." Lao Jiang's suspicious nature was revealed again, and even Chen Bui, who had been with him for so many years, sometimes he was not particularly willing to believe it.

"President, I didn't, you read the other message first, and you will know that what I said is true." Chen Bui took out another telegram from the folder and handed it over respectfully.

Lao Jiang didn't answer, but only said: "You read it, I don't want to see these unhappy messages anymore." ”

Chen Bui was stunned for a moment when he heard Lao Jiang say this, and then unfolded the telegram and read it aloud: "Report to Chairman Chiang and Chief He of the Military and Political Department, our department, together with the Zhanshutang Department of the 81st Division and the Cao Fulin Division of the 55th Army, launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese puppet army besieged under the city of Gunzhou on 14 February. destroyed one Japanese mountain artillery squadron and one field artillery squadron, and captured several mountain artillery and field artillery pieces; annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese invaders and more than 7,000 puppet soldiers; Except for the enemy's leader Kei Seya and Akashiba Yaezo, as well as an unknown number of outstanding ones, the rest of the divisions were defeated. In addition, countless weapons and ammunition, as well as a batch of automobiles and other materials were seized. The casualties of our unit were also heavy, and all the new regiments from the regiment commander down were martyred, and only five or six hundred wounded remained. The remaining regiments suffered more than one-third of the casualties, and their combat effectiveness declined rapidly. this newspaper. Sun Yumin, the 20th Division of the Third Army. ”

Lao Jiang went from the previous disdain, to the gradual light in his eyes, and then to the later eyebrows and smiles, and he kept shouting: "Okay! Good! ”

Chen Bui finished reading the telegram, and Lao Jiang said: "Such a big victory is unique since the start of the war, why does he still ask for guilt?" ”

Chen Bui shook his head and did not reply.

Lao Jiang walked behind his desk, sat down, and said: "Although the 20th Division did not completely annihilate the enemy in this battle, it inflicted heavy losses on the 33rd Brigade, and Sun Yumin is not only innocent, but should be rewarded. ”

"President, it's not right." Chen Bui retorted at the first time: "What you said, you can't embarrass Li Zongren and Sun Tongxuan, I think that the 81st Division and the 55th Army should be rewarded, and Sun Yumin should be heavily punished, and make a show for Li and Sun and the others, as well as those who open their eyes to see the excitement." ”

"Doing this, although it can shut up Li Zongren and others, but what do you make people like Chen Cheng, Hu Zongnan, and Tang Enbo think? Although the Gui family is important, but the foundation of the party-state is still these people, if the descendants are cold, how can I control the overall situation? Lao Jiang waved his hand and vetoed Chen Bui's statement.

"So what? Please let the president show me. Chen Bui saw that Lao Jiang compared Sun Yumin and Chen Cheng to the three of them, and he had no worries at all, he was happy to let Lao Jiang make his own decisions and save himself a headache.

"Yan Ji, you sent a telegram in the name of the Military Committee to commend the 81st Division, the 55th Army, and the 20th Division, and give you a supplement of cash and materials, the specific amount of which will be drawn up by you, He Yingqin, and Kong Xiangxi. You have to pay attention, especially to reward Zhanshutang and Cao Fulin, although they just ran an errand for nothing, but they have to give enough face. Then demote Sun Yumin's division commander to the acting division commander, the military rank will remain the same, the tone will be heavier, and the punishment will be as light as possible. After Chen Bui stopped writing on the folder, he said: "Send another telegram, in my personal name, to award Sun Yumin the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, and reward 100,000 yuan from the ocean." ”
