"Well, that's exciting news. Northeast, this is all thanks to you and your Wolf Tooth Special Combat Team. Liu Bocheng applauded and said excitedly after reading the telegram.

I heard that it was a telegram from the central government just now, everyone stood aside and waited for Liu Bocheng to speak after reading it, no one bothered him, and when he saw the excitement on his face, he knew that it must be good news, so everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to say the following.

Liu Bocheng glanced at a group of people, especially Zhang Dongbei, seeing that Zhang Dongbei was looking at him blankly, Liu Bocheng smiled, slapped Zhang Dongbei on the shoulder, and said: "Northeast, do you know who sent this telegram?" ”

Just looking at Liu Bocheng's serious expression when he received the telegram just now, Zhang Dongbei had already guessed it in his heart. It's just that he didn't say it, because he knew that Liu Bocheng would tell him.

Sure enough, Liu Bocheng paused for a moment, and then said: "This telegram was sent by [***], and almost all the content in this telegram is related to you Zhang Dongbei. ”

Zhang Dongbei was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "It has something to do with me?" Chairman: Does he know about me? ”

Liu Bocheng laughed and said: "You Zhang Dongbei is just a blockbuster, and it is amazing." Now whether it is [***], the Kuomintang, or myself, if you don't know about Zhang Dongbei, then there is really nothing. You don't even know how famous you are right now. ”

Zhang Dongbei touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Really? I really don't know about this, do I? So I'm already so famous. ”

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "You are not only famous now, but you have almost become a thorn in my side." Do you know? It was this afternoon that the cabinet had just decided to dismiss Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoji from his post as supreme commander of the army in North China and ordered him to return to China immediately, and the main reason for Kazuki Kiyoji's descent this time was that the battle of Pengxian had greatly damaged the morale of the Yue army, and after the news of the defeat of the Sakata brigade was transmitted back to the Sakata brigade, it only took a short hour to cause a great negative impact on the Sakatsuki homeland, and the chairman guessed that this Kazuki Kiyoji was likely to be removed from his post after returning to the Sakatsuki homeland. And this is all the credit of your Zhang Dongbei, not only did he defeat a brigade of the Yue army, but also greatly frustrated the morale of the Yue army, and even let the supreme commander of the Yue army in North China be dismissed, these are not things that ordinary people can do. And the impact of your battle in Peng County is far more than that, because your defeat of the Bantian Brigade in Peng County has greatly boosted the determination of the Chinese people to resist the Kou, and now the confidence of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to resist the Yue Kou has doubled, Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed to the chairman this afternoon that he will organize a large-scale battle in Xuzhou to completely break the psychological defense line of Xiao Yueben, Chiang Kai-shek said in the telegram that the first battle in Peng County is unprecedented, and the biggest effect of this battle is that it breaks the myth of the invincibility of the newspaper. Let the entire Chinese people and army know that in fact, Xiao Yueben is not terrible, they are paper tigers. In the face of paper tigers, we have to fight hard. ”

The more Zhang Dongbei listened, the more strange he became, is it all because of himself? It turns out that the Supreme Commander of North China of the invasion army has changed hands several times, is it because of himself? It turns out that the Battle of Xuzhou, which is famous in history, is also because of itself? Zhang Dongdong's head was a little dizzy, when he found that he had crossed over, and he was crossing into the era of resistance, then as a Chinese, he should do his part to expel Xiao Yueben from our land, but never thought that there would be such a day, history is changing little by little because of himself.

Liu Bocheng didn't know what Zhang Dongbei was thinking at this time, seeing Zhang Dongbei standing there as if he was thinking, he thought he was thinking about the upcoming war, so he smiled and said: "Northeast, Lao Jiang's determination to resist has not been firm, although since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there are many patriotic generals in the Kuomintang who advocate resisting, but Lao Jiang has always had illusions about himself, this time he is willing to take the initiative to get in touch with the chairman, it can be imagined that the impact of this battle in Peng County on him is very great." And the chairman also saw his determination this time, so the chairman also agreed to some of his requests. ”

Zhang Dongbeiqi said: "Chiang Kai-shek sent a request to [***]? What does he want [***] to do for him? ”

Liu Bocheng smiled and said: "Lao Jiang doesn't want the chairman to do something for him, but wants the Eighth Route Army to do everything possible to assist him in completing this battle of Xuzhou." Lao Jiang said in a secret telegram to Xi that this time he would invest hundreds of thousands of troops to fight a complete decisive battle with Xiao Yue. What Lao Chiang hoped our Eighth Route Army would do was to open up the various routes between North China and Central China as much as possible, so as to ensure that the information troops could come and go in a timely manner. This time, this glorious and arduous task was entrusted to our 129th Division. Finally, in the telegram, the chairman ordered me to invite you into the ranks of our Eighth Route Army. Hehe, it seems that even the chairman favors you. ”

Zhang Dongbeicheng smiled embarrassedly: "It's the chairman who loves him, how can a little person like me get into the eyes of the chairman." ”

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "Young man, it is good to be modest, but don't be arrogant, with these things you have done during this time, there are really few people in the world who can do it." After a pause, he turned to the signal soldier and said, "Go and see if the phone is set up?" I have good news for the Chair. ”

Chen Geng was stunned for a moment and said: "Boss, what good news can we report to the chairman now, although the battle was won during the day, but you won't take credit for this kind of trivial matter, boss." ”

Liu Bocheng laughed and said: "Of course I won't bother the chairman with that kind of big fart, I have another very important good news to report to the chairman." ”

Chen Geng doubted: "What other happy events, it seems that except for the annihilation of a little devil force, there is nothing else."

Liu Bocheng smiled and said: "Shu Kang, you are really a fan bureau, we just got this good news, you forgot it so quickly?" Chen Geng's original name was Chen Shukang, Chen Geng was changed by him after the army, his real name is rarely known, Liu Bocheng was very familiar with him very early, he had not changed his name at that time, and after he changed his name, Liu Bocheng still called his original name.

Chen Geng looked dazed, not knowing what he was referring to.

Liu Bocheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Shu Kang, Zhang Dongbei and his wolf-tooth special combat team have just joined our 129th Division, isn't this a great joy?" Didn't I just say that the Chairman made a point of emphasizing this matter in the telegram, and now I want to report this good news to him. The chairman would never have thought that before his telegram came, Zhang Dongbei had already joined the ranks of our Eighth Route Army. ”

Chen Geng suddenly realized, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I have already regarded Zhang Dongbei as my own person, and my mind has not turned a corner for a while." This is indeed a great joy and it is time for the President to know. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the signal soldier happened to go and return, and he took a deep breath and said, "Report to the chief, the phone has been answered and can be used at any time." ”

Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "Okay, Shukang, Northeast, we'll call the chairman now." ”

dialed the phone in Yan'an, and it was the orderly soldier who answered the phone, Liu Bocheng said: "I am Liu Bocheng of the 129th Division, is the chairman here now?" ”

The orderly on the other end of the phone said solemnly: "Good chief." The old man is in the courtyard, you stay for a while, and I'll help you spread the word. It is conceivable that the orderly on the other end of the phone stood in a military posture when he replied, and may even have saluted the microphone. After a while, the voice on the other end of the phone came again. And this time the voice came a little deeper, with a kind of magnetic surname. Although this voice sounded very soft and kind, there was a majesty in the laughter, and the person who spoke again was Mao Zedong, the supreme leader of China.

"Mingzhao, I just sent you a telegram, and you called me back, isn't there any good news to tell me?" The chairman on the other end of the phone said with a smile. Ming Zhao is Liu Bocheng's original name, and Liu Bocheng is called Chen Geng, and the chairman directly calls Liu Bocheng's original name.

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "The chairman is really powerful, he guessed the purpose of my call, I have good news to tell you." I just don't know if you'll be free. ”

The chairman laughed and said, "Even if you don't have time anymore, if you call Mingzhao, I must take the time to listen." Well, what exciting good news, let's hear it. ”

Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "Chairman, Zhang Dongbei and his wolf-tooth special combat team have joined our Eighth Route Army. ”

"Oh? It's really fast enough, not long after my telegram was sent, you took Zhang Dongbei under your command? So where are you now? The chairman asked with a smile. For a talent like Zhang Dongbei, the Eighth Route Army is very much needed. Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "Chairman, we are in Peng County now, and Zhang Dongbei is standing next to me at this moment." "Really? That's great. Mingzhao, give the phone to Zhang Dongbei, and I'll have a few words with him. Listening to the chairman's voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Bocheng nodded and replied, "Yes, chairman." Then he handed the phone in his hand to Zhang Dongbei and reminded him in a low voice: "Northeast, the chairman wants to talk to you." ”

The others standing on the side were envious, and being able to receive a call from the chairman in person and talk to the chairman in person was a dream that many people could not realize in their lifetime.
