Chiang Kai-shek had no intention of arguing with the Japanese, and had little interest in the map he handed over, but he took it anyway and looked at it, but after just looking at it, he was attracted by the drawings on it.

The handwriting on the map is crooked, and the image is not like a house, and the river is not like a river. However, each stronghold was marked with a single digit number of Japanese troops stationed. Even the armament of each team and the time of the patrol are noted in detail.

Chiang Kai-shek gasped, if the map was true, even the strength of a division would be able to encircle and suppress the Japanese now. He asked, "Who made this map, and how do you know it in such detail?" ”

Li Changfu no longer had the nervousness he had when he first arrived, and replied: "Report to the commander-in-chief, this is what I infiltrated Jinan City and obtained with the cooperation of all forces. My knowledge is too low, and I can only understand it after the polishing of the Red Gun Society's military division. ”

Chiang Kai-shek pondered and exclaimed: "It's already amazing, the map above is clear and delicate, it's a pity that you don't do intelligence." I don't think you have a long-term plan in the Red Gun Club, I heard that your second young master is making trouble in Jiangxi. Do you want to follow your second young master or do you want to do things under Li Yantang. ”

Li Yantang, who was standing next to him, broke down in a cold sweat. His second brother Li Yanze went to Jiangxi to participate in the GCD after returning from studying in the Soviet Union, which is not a secret in the Northern Expeditionary Army. A family of three brothers, two of whom had political differences and became opposing parties. Chiang Kai-shek's question was just a joke, but Li Yantang was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear that Li Changfu's answer would not be satisfactory, and even more afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would blame him.

Song Meiling had also heard about the encounter of the two brothers of the Li family, and stared at Li Changfu with interest, in her thoughts, Li Changfu definitely replied to follow the eldest young master Li Yantang.

However, Li Changfu said without the slightest hesitation: "I am willing to follow the third young master Li Ling." ”

His answer greatly surprised several people, and Chiang Kai-shek said curiously: "Your third young master Li Ling?" What to do now? Why do you want to work under him? ”

"The third young master is now a battalion commander in the First Army of the Northern Expedition."

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, the First Army of the Northern Expedition was his descendant army, and it turned out to be his subordinate. As long as it's not a land reform in Jiangxi. Two of the three brothers belong to themselves, so they should be regarded as expected!

Li Changfu continued: "The third young master is heroic and heroic, righteous and cloudy, never afraid of power, and is a hero who is not born in the world. If you can do things under him, even if you die, you can feel at ease. ”

"Oh?" Even Song Meiling felt incredible. She has never been involved in Chiang Kai-shek's politics and military, but being called an immortal hero by a person also whetted her appetite, and she smiled and said: "Then talk about the glorious deeds of your third young master, Li Ling." ”

Li Changfu cleared his throat, recalled, and said: "The third young master has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he rose to the market and subdued the gangsters and hooligans of Jinan City. Later, in Jinan, a Japanese man molested and insulted a Chinese woman. The third young master was furious, drew his sword to help, and beat the Japanese and seriously injured them. For fear of implicating the family, the old lady expelled him from the clan. This is the reason why he has not been able to forgive the old lady until now. ”

Li Yantang sighed slightly, of course he had heard about Li Ling's deeds, and he felt sorry for him in his heart, if he went home, he would definitely persuade his father.

In order to avoid others being harmed, the third young master resolutely surrendered himself and went to righteousness generously. On the day he was escorted, I saw him off on the orders of the old lady. On that day, the crowd of people who were blocked on Jinan Street came to see him off. His righteous deeds were cited as myths by the fathers and villagers of Jinan City, and they were compiled into an allegro to sing on both sides of the Yellow River. Even many people have set up immortal tablets for him at home. ”

Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were a little moved when they heard this, and it is indeed not something that ordinary people do when they are so supported. Song Meiling's eyes lit up, eager to know what was going on, and asked: What happened later? ”

Later, the third young master was rescued by a group of brothers in Jinan. In that battle, several brothers were killed and wounded. He made a note of this bitter hatred. Two years later, when Zhangqiu County was occupied by bandits, the third young master led the crowd to attack the city and saved countless Li people. I was also involved in that war. ”

"Leading the crowd to attack the bandits, this is commendable." Even Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly.

"Not many days later, the third young master found the Japanese enemy in Jinan City, so he pursued him thousands of miles and killed the Japanese in the military camp of Cheng Guorui, the enemy army in Tai'an. Then he was hunted down and killed, and he single-handedly destroyed the entire cavalry company. ”

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, isn't chasing and killing the Japanese looking for chaos? The cavalry company is at least an elite of 100 people, so it is inevitable to be alone!

Li Yantang continued with some remorse: "During the confrontation between our First Army and Chu Yupu's troops in Taierzhuang that day, my third brother was chased and killed with scars. Because we didn't understand the matter, we didn't move. It was he who wiped out a cavalry company under Cheng Guorui. This happened under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, and it is absolutely true. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and said: "Picking a cavalry company alone is indeed heroic, and if you come to our Northern Expeditionary Army, you should vigorously cultivate it." ”

Li Yantang replied: "As the principal said, Commander Liu Zhi and Deputy Commander Jiang Dingwen loved him very much and made him a ** battalion commander. It's just that he is easy to get into trouble, avenging his soldiers in Tai'an, killing the nephew of Sun Liangcheng's chief of staff, and is now demoted to company commander for this reason. ”

"It turns out that he is your third brother!" Chiang Kai-shek patted his head and said: "It is indeed a trouble, this matter was sued by Feng Yuxiang's ministry to me, destroying the relationship with friendly forces, and I have a big head." By the way, where is he now? Chiang Kai-shek had a great affection for him, and he didn't care that he caused such a trivial matter.

Li Changfu replied: "The Third Young Master's troops are now stationed in Xinzhuang to reconnoiter the Japanese troops in Jinan City, and prepare to avenge the dead fathers and villagers in Jinan City. ”

"What?" Chiang Kai-shek and Li Yantang were shocked at the same time, and finally stopped the war with the Japanese army. Chiang Kai-shek said: "Since it is a battalion of troops, why did they not retreat with other troops?" ”

Li Changfu pouted: "Because...... Because the third young master did not obey the order, he expressed his willingness to fight with the Japanese army to protect national sovereignty. ”

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense. Someone, notify me and bring Li Ling to me. Chiang Kai-shek suddenly became furious, and everyone in the chamberlain trembled. Li Yantang was also anxious, and said, "I'll personally go and drag him over." ”

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and motioned for them to go down.

Li Yantang was anxious and rushed to Xinzhuang overnight. Disobeying military orders is enough to be shot, and even more so at this juncture. If you really poke out the basket, even you can't protect him. It seems that he is still the lawless third brother. Although he is a little older, his temper has not changed at all, and when this matter is satisfactorily resolved, he must be persuaded to discharge from the army, and he may be able to give disaster one day.

When I arrived at the place, I found that Li Ling was ready to go and was doing pre-war mobilization work for the ** battalion: "...... Kill one Japanese and reward ten oceans, kill two and reward twenty, and so on. If there are more than ten, Lao Tzu will reward him with 500 oceans, and he will be happy in the Xiaoyao Building for three days, and the cost will be mine. ”

"What if I catch a Japanese twits?" A soldier at the bottom asked with a smile.

Li Ling laughed and said: "I heard that there are really Japanese women this time, and the one that looks like one is called a water spirit." Whoever is caught will be counted as anyone, and this does not need to be handed over. There are many kinds of anti-Japanese resistance, and after being caught, they are put at home, and they will be fiercely resisted by Lao Tzu every night when they go home. ”

Dirty words often resonate with others, and the soldiers burst into laughter when he finished speaking. Li Ling was about to say a few more words of encouragement, but saw Li Yantang arrive.

Li Yantang was angry, and scolded Li Ling in front of thousands of soldiers. Then looking at the soldiers who were ready to attack, Li Yantang shouted: "Look at whether you are soldiers or bandits. The elite troops of the First Army were also returned, and the descendants of Huangpu were returned, and all the graduates of Huangpu stood up. ”

Qin Mushu, Liao Yaohui and the others were all relieved to see Li Yantang coming, of course they understood what Li Ling was going to do. Now that the high-ranking officials of the military department are not there, Li Yantang came too timely, and now he is the only one who can persuade Li Ling. Li Yantang is the senior of the first phase of Huangpu, and he is also at the level of deputy division commander, and his orders are better for Huangpu students than Li Ling's orders, and those platoon commanders have followed Qin Mushu to stand in a row.

Li Yantang angrily scolded these students of the 45th and 6th phases of Huangpu: "You have all received systematic military education, what is the vocation of the army?" It's to obey orders! The military headquarters has already asked you to retreat, and what are you doing? Disobey the military order and don't know how to shoot! He also went to attack Jinan City and expel the Japanese. I see you're all reading to the ass. ”

Qin Mushu and the others were very aggrieved, but they didn't dare to debate anything. Being insulted in front of so many soldiers, Li Ling felt disgraced. didn't bother to argue, and said: "Have you finished training, leave quickly when you're done, go back wherever you come from, don't delay my training." Li Ling also knew that as soon as Li Yantang arrived, the military operation would come to naught, although he had some influence among the soldiers, but without the company platoon commander who led the team at the grassroots level, everything else was empty talk. And these platoon commanders are obedient to Li Yantang.

Li Yantang was furious again: "You have been demoted to company commander, what qualifications do you have to lead the ** battalion." Immediately prepare the horses and go to Taean to meet the principal.

After hearing this, these company platoon commanders were envious, and the opportunity to meet the principal was not available to everyone. If you can listen to the principal's teachings in person, you may be able to rise to the top in the future.

Li Ling sneered, he had long wanted to meet the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and wanted to ask him face to face if the 6,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinan City had died in vain
