Chapter 229: Meet the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Theater of Operations
On this day, Xiao Yifei rushed to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army alone in civilian clothes in the middle of the night.
After dawn, Xiao Yifei came to the headquarters.
None of the soldiers at the headquarters knew Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei was very emotional, and repeatedly emphasized that he was Xiao Yifei and wanted to see the big chief, but the soldiers didn't believe it, and even pointed a gun at Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei could only squat on a stone outside the gate, waiting for someone to come out of the gate.
After a long time, the big chief sent the guests to the door, Xiao Yifei greeted him, and the two soldiers actually used guns to separate Xiao Yifei from the big chief.
Xiao Yifei couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only shout: "Big chief! ”
When the chief saw that it was Xiao Yifei, he hurriedly ran up and scolded the soldiers.
In the big chief's office, the chief personally made tea for Xiao Yifei and apologized to Xiao Yifei.
The chief said: "Chongqing has communicated with us many times, and asked Die'er and others to lead the special operations team of the task force to go abroad first, and after our research, we agree that you will also go abroad to fight devils." ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "In Central China, I have created two more guerrilla units, and I ask you to send the political commissar over quickly." My path-finding mission has been completed, and the layout of the New Fourth Army has also ended, and it is up to you how to develop in the future. We must not only look at the country, but also liberate the whole world if possible. I know in my heart that although I am going out in the name of the Chinese contingent of the Anti-Fascist Alliance, I will not forget that I am the New Fourth Army. Of course, no one can guarantee the outcome, because the first expeditionary force sent by our country suffered a crushing defeat, so many people went out, but few of them came back alive. I may also fail, the probability of dying in battle is very high, the military song should sing the big sword ring, and swear to destroy Hu Nu out of the jade pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. ”
The chief nodded again and again and said: "I will report your situation to the supreme leader, Xiao Yifei, it is not enough to praise you, I want to give you a military salute." ”
The chief stood up and saluted Xiao Yifei with a serious face.
As soon as Xiao Yifei returned to Huizhou from the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, the eldest prince and Boss Dai arrived.
The eldest prince smiled at Xiao Yifei and said, "The commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater of the Anti-Fascist Alliance has sent a plane and wants to invite you to Chongqing immediately, and he wants to interview you." ”
This was very unexpected by Xiao Yifei, and he said with a smile: "Can you use it?" I'm just a little person. ”
The eldest prince said: "The expeditionary force has suffered a new crushing defeat, and the commander-in-chief has high hopes for you. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Then go!" I haven't been on a plane yet! It's just enough to get over the addiction of flying. ”
Xiao Yifei, the eldest son and Boss Dai took an American plane to Chongqing, and after arriving in Chongqing, Xiao Yifei and his entourage took a car and went to a villa in the mountains non-stop.
Outside the commander-in-chief's office, Xiao Yifei, who was wearing a major general's uniform, straightened the hem of his military uniform, and came to the door with his head held high to shout a report.
"Is it Yifei?" from inside. Hurry in", Xiao Yifei strode in.
Behind the office, a bald middle-aged man in a general's uniform lifted his face from a pile of papers and looked Xiao Yifei up and down.
Xiao Yifei said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Xiao Yifei has come to report." ”
This middle-aged man, of course, is the father of the eldest prince, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater of the anti-fascist alliance, he nodded and said with a smile: "This commander has been in love with General Xiao for a long time, and I am very happy to see him today." Your name as the god of war is terrifying, and you have made outstanding achievements in the war of resistance in front of and behind the enemy. General Xiao has a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, and he is indeed a rare talent. The eldest prince has a lot of good words for you in front of me, and although Yunong's telegram is as precious as gold, your image of the god of war is still faintly visible. The commander still has important documents to be reviewed at hand, and his wife is preparing a family banquet, so you can visit it with the eldest prince first, and we will talk while eating. ”
Xiao Yifei said loudly: "Yes! ”
Xiao Yifei withdrew.
At the small round table, the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief's wife, the eldest son, Boss Dai and Xiao Yifei sat upright. The dishes on the table are not sumptuous, but they are all exquisite.
The commander-in-chief's wife kept asking for vegetables on the plate in front of Xiao Yifei, and the commander-in-chief kept persuading Xiao Yifei to eat more.
Xiao Yifei likes to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, which is quite the style of mountains and forests.
When the commander-in-chief eats a bite of food, he has to wipe his mouth with a towel, the chopsticks don't touch the edge of the plate, and not even a drop of vegetable juice falls in front of him, which makes Xiao Yifei very unaccustomed.
Xiao Yifei can only learn from the example and eat vegetables in small bites.
The commander-in-chief looked at Xiao Yifei with a serious face and said: "The Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma, under the leadership of General Du, dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, but our army also paid a heavy price, and Division Commander Dai sacrificed his life for the country. Just after the Chinese Expeditionary Force withdrew from Burma, the northern section of the China-Burma Highway was controlled by the Japanese army, China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression encountered unprecedented challenges and faced an existential test. ”
Xiao Yifei lowered his head, his mood was very heavy. Xiao Yifei had heard a little about the expeditionary force, but the commander-in-chief did not say that it was a fiasco, and in Xiao Yifei's opinion, it should be said that it was a complete failure. The Japanese army is not easy to fight, the Japanese army is too strong. In a war with the Japanese army, it is necessary to consider not only tactics, but also strategy. It seems that in northern Myanmar, if the Chinese army wants to turn the situation around, it must take a long-term view.
The commander-in-chief said: "General Xiao, I want you to be the commander of the division and lead the first division to Burma again." ”
Xiao Yifei raised his head, shook his head slightly, and whispered: "My strength is not to fight in the frontal command team, fight with the Japanese army, and not only fight frontal battles. Soldier to soldier and general to Japanese army, we are not opponents for the time being. ”
The commander-in-chief whispered: "Tell me what you think." ”
Xiao Yifei said: "Give me the privilege to coordinate and command all units of the expeditionary force. ”
The commander-in-chief said: "Go ahead. ”
Xiao Yifei said: "Give me a group of men and horses, let me enter from the direction of Vietnam, destroy the strategic targets of the Japanese army, delay the Japanese army, and cut off the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army." ”
The commander-in-chief's eyes widened, looked at Xiao Yifei, and whispered, "Yes! For the Japanese army, Ling Chi and cutting should be used, and for the Japanese army, 36,000 knives should be cut. It's just that my hundreds of thousands of troops plus the British army can't defeat the Japanese army, and you only have a group of men and horses, how can you beat the Japanese army? It feels a bit like a moth to a fire. ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "As long as a group of people is used properly, it can reach hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the Japanese army is strong, wasn't the 3rd Division of the New Japanese Army also repulsed by me? An independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army was completely annihilated at Yingtan. I also led a small team to eliminate the Japanese cavalry brigade when I was in Shanggao. Although the pig is large, a pig-killing knife can dismember the pig into ribs and braised pork pieces, and even cut it into meat foam. Everyone must be familiar with the story of Ku Ding's solution to the cow, although the team is not large, but it depends on who uses it. ”
Madame and Boss Dai's eldest son couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yifei's tone is so big, although the metaphor used is very interesting, but the meaning is very clear to everyone, and if you think about it carefully, its momentum can rush to the sky.
The commander-in-chief covered his mouth with a towel, smiled, took off the towel, looked into Xiao Yifei's eyes, and said, "We men should avoid women when we speak, what you said is too bloody." ”
Madame smiled and said: "Don't blame, General Xiao is a hero, although his words are vulgar, but the reason is refreshing." Looking at General Xiao, it reminds me of Dahan Huo's illness, who is also a young hero and a pillar of the country. ”
The commander-in-chief smiled and said, "What Madame said is very true, and this commander also feels the same way. General Xiao is from Jiangsu, I am from Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not separated, we are fellow villagers. Yunong is also a fellow villager, and we are all a family here. It is said that General Xiao and General Wang Yaowu are also good friends, and the heroes cherish each other, which is a beautiful talk. ”
In the commander-in-chief's reception room, Xiao Yifei and the eldest prince sat together, and the commander-in-chief and Boss Dai each sat on a sofa.
The eldest prince said: "General Xiao's trip also undertook the important task of protecting the port of call for our company's freighters. ”
The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "I know, you have said it." ”
Boss Dai smiled and asked, "Why don't I go with me?" ”
The commander-in-chief shook his head and said, "You can't go, let Gu Yulin accompany you." ”
Boss Dai nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
The commander-in-chief looked at Xiao Yifei and asked in a low voice: "If you have any other requirements, just say it." If I can do it, I will do it. ”
Xiao Yifei said with a smile: "Let's go out in a low-key manner, don't open it to the outside world, and pay attention to unswerving in war." ”
The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "If we are wiped out, we don't have to make it public, just a small team, so as not to affect morale." ”
The commander-in-chief sighed and said: "If you have the heart of death, you will be able to perform miraculous feats again." ”
At this moment, the commander-in-chief's wife came in with a blonde hair and blue eyes and an extremely fashionable beauty, and Xiao Yifei and the others stood up.
The commander-in-chief's wife looked at Xiao Yifei and said with a smile: "This is my goddaughter Helen, she admires you very much, I want you to get to know you." ”
