In the face of the chairman's indifference, Jiang Haoran shook his head helplessly and smiled, he knew that the honeymoon period between himself and the chairman of the committee might have passed like this, and what would happen next was really unpredictable, but one thing Jiang Haoran was sure of was that no matter how dissatisfied the chairman was with himself, during this time, the chairman did not dare to touch him, because there was no one to carry the deputy burden without him on the battlefield in Burma. Moreover, even if the chairman of the committee has this idea, the people of the United States will not agree.

After entering the command headquarters, everyone sat down in turn, Jiang Haoran sat behind Chen Chen when he first returned, which was the third row, but now he has been reduced to the last row, although the contrast between the front and back is large, but Jiang Haoran really doesn't care about these.

Yu Jishi took the lead in taking the Wuhan camp and won the first meritorious service, followed by Bai Chongxi who defeated Xinyang and successfully blocked the enemy's retreat, ranking second, and then Yang Sen, Chen Qian, and all the troops participating in the battle, and finally the chairman of the committee said, "The 40 th Group Army is also not bad." On this note, the officers and men of other units were commended and promoted, but the chairman selectively "forgot" about the 40 th Group Army.

Yu Jishi's 19th Group Army was stationed in Wuhan, Yang Sen's 27th Group Army was stationed east of Poyang Lake, and the entire territory of southern Anhui, including Hukou, Pengze, and Shitai.

North of the Yangtze River, the first theater is in Fuyang, Zhumadian, and the line from Nanyang to the Yellow River, which is the first line of defense. The fifth theater is on the front line of Jinzhai, Xinyang, and Xiangyang, and is the second line of defense.

As for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the chairman did not mention a word, but everyone understood that the line from Lu'an to the Yangtze River was given to them, and the entire Dabie Mountain area became their defense area, and the Yan'an troops were able to gain a foothold on the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border, and they also moved from the war behind enemy lines to the forefront of the War of Resistance.

After the meeting ended, Yu Jishi and Yang Sen stopped Jiang Haoran and took him to a small teahouse outside.

Those who can get close to Jiang Haoran at this time, of course, really regard Jiang Haoran as a good friend, although Yu Jishi is the nephew of the chairman of the committee and has always been the most relied on cadre in the eyes of the chairman of the committee, but in this matter, he also thinks that the chairman is making a fuss.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for an ace army like Yu Jishi to become a comrade-in-arms in the trench with a ragtag army like Yang Sen, it can be said that Jiang Haoran has become a link between them, of course, in this battle, the cooperation between the two armies is also impeccable, and the relationship is naturally closer.

In this regard, Jiang Haoran expressed himself very calmly, only saying that those who are clear are turbid, and those who are clear are turbid, right and wrong, time will eventually prove a qiē.

In the following time, the three of them chatted about the battle, analyzed the shape of the next battlefield, and looked forward to the future prospects, and the atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.

Jiang Haoran was not interested in attending this kind of occasion, so he asked Yu Jishi to take a leave of absence from the chairman of the committee, and then asked Yu Jishi to borrow a jeep before he got up and said goodbye, saying that he still had some personal matters to deal with in the afternoon.

The three of them went out of the teahouse, Jiang Haoran said goodbye to the two again, raised his legs and walked a few steps before turning around, telling the two of them, what are the two of them lacking in the future, go to the 331 base to manage Liu He, in addition to planes and tanks, other guns, ammunition, artillery, medicines, etc., just open your mouth.

Yu Jishi is still calm, the Central Army's descendants are still relatively large, but Yang Sen grinned so much that he couldn't close it, the Sichuan Army lacked everything, with Jiang Haoran's words, his future life will be much better.

Half an hour later, Jiang Haoran personally drove an American-style jeep, carrying Leng Rushuang, Mei Xiang, Mei Xin and a knife, speeding all the way through the streets of Wuhan.

Jiang Haoran did not forget the agreement with Chi Liuqi, so he would rather not attend the press conference, but also take the time to see his old man's house, and he would return to the 331 base at night, after all, it has been out for so long, and it has been more than half a year since he was imprisoned in the Bai Mansion, and it is time to go home to take a look.

As soon as the jeep drove into the alley in the direction of Chi's house, Jiang Haoran found a spirit flag floating above the Chi's compound, and he suddenly sighed in his heart, he was afraid that he was already late.

The car stopped at the gate of Chi's house, Zhuang Dazhuan seemed to have known that Jiang Haoran was coming, and he was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Jiang Haoran coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you are here!" ”

Looking at Zhuang Dazhuan, who was dressed in white linen and wearing filial piety, Jiang Haoran was silent for several seconds before muttering: "Am I late?" ”

"The big shopkeeper left seven days ago, his body bones have long been gone, he didn't swallow his breath, and he didn't hold on until he entered the city, and then closed his eyes, he had an explanation before his death, and you can't be buried if you don't go." Zhuang Dazhuan helped Jiang Haoran open the car door and bowed.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Haoran walked straight inside without saying a word, and the courtyard was not full of imaginary guests, not even the sound of gongs, drums, and suona, it was very deserted.

The mourning hall is located in the main hall, the couplet is hung high, the sacrificial banner is hung on both sides, and the wreath in the hall is dressed a lot, but it is not like ordinary people, there is a name and surname that belongs to the words of someone on the salutation.

On the mahogany spiritual table, there are flowers, lotus lamps are lit, two red candles are in tears, and there is a portrait of Chi Liuqi in the center.

"Uncle Chi, Haoran is late!"

Jiang Haoran knelt down with a bang, and then knocked his head down with three bangs, and his forehead was already red when he got up.

If you want to say how much affection Jiang Haoran and Chi Liuqi have, it's not either, but Jiang Haoran respects him more, Chi Liuqi is a eunuch, so he has no children and no daughters under his knees, and naturally he doesn't have a wife, a eunuch who was poisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his soul is not distorted by this, and he still devotes himself to the torrent of the Anti-Japanese War with righteousness and enthusiasm, even if he is seriously ill, even if he still wears a "traitor" hat after death, he completely ignores it, and he still thinks about the recovery of Wuhan until he dies, which made some party-state members who were on a vegetarian meal even more embarrassed.

In Jiang Haoran's eyes, Chi Liuqi is a hero, an out-and-out unsung hero.

After kowtowing, Jiang Haoran looked at Chi Liuqi's portrait and burst into tears, still unable to kneel.

Someone came to kowtow to filial piety, as a close family member must return the gift, Chi Liuqi has no children and no daughters, and the task of returning the gift falls on his godgranddaughter Chi Xiaocui, seeing that Jiang Haoran can't kneel for a long time, Chi Xiaocui hurriedly got up, hugged Jiang Haoran and choked up: "Uncle Jiang, grandpa has been so courteous to you, and it is time to be blind to the knowledge under the spring, grandpa has no regrets, and we don't have to be too sad for his old man." ”
