Chapter 4: Back to Nanjing!
After two consecutive days and two nights of rapid marching, Zhang Mingyu finally led his troops to the border area of Henan Province, at this time the 113th Division of the 51st Army of the Northeast Army was stationed in northern Henan, and the division commander was Zhou Guanglie.
"Brother, hurry up and take off the devil skin on your body! Otherwise, we will be seen by the brother troops, don't treat us as devils! Zhang Mingyu said.
"Battalion commander, brothers are tired to death!" Zhang Biao said listlessly.
"Brothers, I know you're all tired, but it's not time to rest! We must find [***] to rest with peace of mind! Zhang Mingyu comforted. After speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, and the soldiers behind him also dragged their tired bodies and followed Zhang Mingyu forward. Zhang Mingyu They walked for more than 20 miles, and finally found the patrol force of [***]! The leader was a company commander, and after discovering Zhang Mingyu and the others, he quickly led the team to run towards them!
"What part are you from?" Looking at Zhang Mingyu and the others in tattered clothes in front of him, the company commander asked.
"I am Zhang Mingyu, the commander of the first battalion of the 21st 46th Regiment! You are? Zhang Mingyu asked rhetorically.
"The commander is Zhang Mingyu, I am Sun Hu, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the 662nd Regiment of the 28th Brigade of the 113th Division!"
"You know me?" Zhang Mingyu asked curiously.
"The commander led the team to kill the lieutenant general of the Yue Army, and the deeds of the heroic resistance of a squadron of the Yue Army have long been in the newspapers!" Sun Hu replied with excitement on his face.
"Lieutenant General?"
"That's right, it's the lieutenant general of the Yue Army that you killed in Meixian, and it is Kawagishi Bunzaburo, the commander of the 20th Division of the Yue Army. Even Chairman Chiang in Nanjing knew about this! ”
Following Sun Hu and Zhang Mingyu, they arrived at their camp, and when they arrived, Zhang Mingyu and his brothers fell asleep! Sun Hu immediately reported the matter to their regiment commander! Their regiment commander's surname is Xue, who is also a lover [***], and he reported the matter to the headquarters of the 113th Division! While personally going to visit Zhang Mingyu and the others, he heard a deafening snoring sound coming from inside when he entered the hospital, and Commander Xue smiled at the chief of staff beside him and said: "It seems that Brother Zhang is really tired, let him rest well!" In addition, he instructed the cooking class to wait for Brother Zhang and the soldiers to wake up and cook them a delicious meal! ”
Zhang Mingyu and the others began to sleep in the morning until the afternoon of the next day, and then slowly woke up from their dreams! Zhang Mingyu looked at Zhang Biao, who was still snoring next to him, and picked up the soles of his shoes and hit Zhang Biao's rising big fat ingot! With a "snap", Zhang Biao jumped up holding his buttocks and roared, "That dog is disturbing Lao Tzu's good dreams? ”
"Who are you scolding, my Captain? Dog! Zhang Mingyu took the sole of his shoe and spat at it and said.
"Battalion commander, it's you! I didn't scold anyone! Besides, you don't dare to scold you even if you borrow my guts! Zhang Biao said with a smirk.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, the regiment commander and the division commander have come to see you", Sun Hu's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Oh yes, I'll be right away"
"Brothers, get up," Zhang Mingyu called out to his brothers who were still sleeping. When he opened the door, he saw that the courtyard was full of people, and when he saw a person in the middle carrying a general star on his shoulder, he knew that this person might be the division commander in Sun Hu's mouth, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Zhang Mingyu, the commander of the first battalion of the 46th Regiment of the 21st Division, has seen Chief Zhou!"
"I've seen Chief Zhou," the brothers behind Zhang Mingyu shouted in unison.
"Well," Zhou Guanglie thought to himself, this Zhang Mingyu is a young man who can be a man, and he is not proud of his achievements! This kid is from Huangpu again, and his future is definitely limitless!
"Brothers, you have worked hard! I ordered someone to prepare food and wine for your brothers! Zhou Guanglie said loudly.
"Goo-Goo......
Zhang Mingyu looked back at Zhang Biao who was standing behind! Glaring!
Zhang Biao cried and said with a sad face: "Battalion commander, I am really hungry", looking at Zhang Biao's shriveled appearance, the brothers of the whole battalion burst into laughter!
Soon, the cooking class served big steamed buns, as well as stewed pork, and served them in pots! For a while, the sound of "cooing" came and went! Zhou Guanglie smiled and said, "Everyone is hungry, so they are open to eat!" Enough! ”
Zhang Biao was the first to rush up to eliminate the steamed pork flatbread that swept the table like a little ghost, and saw that the company commander grabbed it! The officers and soldiers also rushed forward and began the task of eliminating food! Zhang Mingyu also took two steamed buns and a bowl of stewed pork and ate it, and after not eating for two days, he smelled the fragrant stewed pork in the bowl and began to gnaw on it!
"Zhang Biao, you little rabbit cubs, leave some for the fuck!" Zhang Mingyu yelled at Zhang Biao and the others who were eating on the table after eating in the bowl......
After living in Zhou Guanglie's camp for nearly a week, Zhang Mingyu, who was full of energy, and the soldiers of the Reading Battalion received news from Nanjing, which roughly meant that Zhang Mingyu and others should go to Nanjing as soon as possible. After receiving the order, Zhang Mingyu led the soldiers of the Reading Force Battalion to board the truck prepared by Zhou Guanglie. Before waiting for the bus, the remaining 102 soldiers of the Reading Battalion collectively bowed three times in the direction of Shanxi, although Zhang Mingyu and his brothers deeply regretted the sacrifice of Zhao Si and the second company! But war has its absolute laws! If you want to fight, you will shed blood and sacrifice, and this is a fact that no one can change!
After a few days of long marching, Zhang Mingyu and his entourage finally came to the outside of Nanjing, and the major newspapers in Nanjing made a big report on the imminent arrival of the anti-Japanese hero Zhang Mingyu in Nanjing! The students and citizens of Nanjing spontaneously organized a welcoming ceremony, and greeted the elders of the platoon outside the Guanghua Gate. And the chairman of the committee also personally greeted Guanghua Gate!
Looking at the eye-catching big characters on both sides of the road, "Welcome to the triumphant return of the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance," Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers felt a warm current in their hearts, listening to the exciting slogans shouted in the welcoming crowd
"The War of Resistance will be won! Long live the Chinese nation"
"Down with imperialism"
"China will not die" Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers are enthusiastic!
The convoy drove to a stop 500 meters away from Guanghua Gate! Zhang Mingyu was the first to jump out of the car, and the soldiers of the Reading Battalion quickly jumped out of the car, and quickly fought into two rows, with Zhang Mingyu leading the way towards Guanghua Gate, and the greeting crowds on both sides of the road shouted loudly "Zhang Mingyu's name" and welcomed the heroes back: and other slogans!
Zhang Mingyu saw from a distance that in addition to the crowd outside Guanghua Gate, there were also soldiers with loaded guns, all of whom were equipped with submachine guns! In the middle of the soldiers stood a large group of high-ranking officials with political axes, and the man in the middle of the tunic, because he had seen his picture in later generations! Zhang Mingyu concluded that this person was his current leader.
Zhang Mingyu led the soldiers to move forward quickly! I saw Principal Jiang up close when I approached Guanghua Gate! Not much different from the photos of later generations! I saw Zhang Mingyu striding over!
Principal Jiang smiled and said, "What a talent, young and promising!" ”
"Zhang Mingyu, the commander of the first battalion of the 46th Regiment of the 21st Division, led all the officers and men of the 1st battalion to see the chairman!" Let's salute President Jiang and others! The warriors behind him also saluted!
"Yes, that's good! The division of tigers and wolves, the division of elites! Principal Jiang came over and said in Zhejiang dialect: "Mingyu! You're also from Zhejiang, right? We're still fellow countrymen! After speaking, he personally came to Zhang Mingyu's hand and walked towards the car parked in the city! The people around me were shocked! can walk side by side with the chairman of the committee, it seems that this person has a high status in Chairman Jiang's heart! Looking at the [***] generals, except for Zhang Xueliang, the brother-in-law of the chairman, no one can let the chairman hold hands and walk side by side! And Zhang Mingyu is just a small battalion commander, but he can also be so valued by Principal Jiang! A lot of discerning people expected it! After today, I'm afraid Zhang Mingyu will not just be a battalion commander!
After entering the city! In the presidential palace, President Jiang hosted a banquet to entertain Zhang Mingyu, and Mrs. Song was also at the meal. I care about Zhang Mingyu's family background again! And Zhang Mingyu also took the opportunity to show loyalty at this time! "Mingyu must be the chairman of the committee! Serve the party-state! ...... for the long-term loyalty of the committee members"
After the meal, Zhang Mingyu was sent back to the new camp of the Reading Battalion, the Chengnan Military Camp in Nanjing! When the soldiers of the Reading Battalion saw that Zhang Mingyu was back, they all surrounded him and asked questions!
Zhang Biao asked: "What kind of official did the battalion commander and chairman give you?" ”
"That's right! Battalion commander, just talk about it! ”
"Nothing has been sealed!" After that, he walked towards the barracks!
"The battalion commander, then the chairman of the committee doesn't have a reward? Like the ocean? Beauty or something? Zhang Biaoyou asked. Zhang Mingyu turned around and kicked Zhang Biao's ass! Kick him several meters away!
"What the fuck is it now! Still thinking about the ocean and women! The devils are about to conquer Shanghai! ”
"Isn't the battalion commander joking! Do you have to push that hard? Zhang Biao covered his buttocks and said. ********************************************************************************************
Zhang Mingyu and the soldiers of the Reading Battalion rested in the camp in the south of the city for three days, and the order came down! The chairman of the committee ordered: "In view of the fact that Zhang Mingyu led his troops to fight bravely and killed a lieutenant general of the Yue Army, he was specially promoted to colonel and regimental commander today!" The original 1st Battalion of the 46th Regiment of the 21st Division was changed to the Reading Force! Changed to the Third War Zone! Directly under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Theater Command! The officers and men of the original first battalion were all promoted to the first level! Replenishment of troops will arrive tomorrow! In November of the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty, the chairman of the National Executive Yuan 'Jiang Chongzheng! ’”
The next time, the Ministry of Military Affairs sent three carts of soldiers! There are also supplies such as military uniforms for the Reading Power Regiment!
"Hey! Didn't my brother say that it was good to replenish eight hundred people, why is there only four hundred" Zhang Mingyu took the registration form and asked the escort officer!
"Most of the chiefs have been sent to Shanghai to participate in the battle of Songhu! These are the only ones left! The escort officer replied. Zhang Mingyu added the four hundred people and two hundred people who were added to Zhang Biao's company! A company expanded into a battalion! Zhang Biao is the battalion commander! The remaining 200 people are the second battalion, and the battalion commander is Zhang Haisheng, the commander of the reconnaissance company!
On November 9, the army landed in Hangzhou Bay, and the troops were forced to retreat to Nanjing, Suzhou and other places! On the same day, the Republic of China immediately announced that the capital and all political axe institutions would be moved from Nanjing to Yucheng, the capital of the Republic of China. The military operations center was first moved to Wuhan until after the Battle of Wuhan, and then moved to Yucheng, the capital of Wuhan. Zhang Mingyu asked President Jiang to defend Nanjing City, and it was approved!
Zhang Mingyu asked the principal to prepare weapons for priority replenishment! Approved!
It is now the ninth day of November, and the battle to defend Nanjing in history began on the first day of December! In other words, Zhang Mingyu still has 21 days to prepare!
