Chapter 18: The Whole Country Rejoices
After Ye Zhengjun's three telegrams were issued, the whole country was shaken, and the major news agencies that had printed this morning newspaper immediately stopped the sale of the original newspapers, and rushed to produce a newspaper with a column headline -- The situation on the battlefield in Xuzhou is undecided and the subtitle -- Ye Zhengjun, an officer of the Eighth Route Army, implored the chairman of the committee to come to Xuzhou's aid.

This change, the morning newspaper, which was supposed to be released at 6-8 o'clock, was not re-released until 10 o'clock.
The newsboys who got the new newspaper immediately scattered in all directions, and suddenly the streets and alleys and dock markets across the country immediately resounded with a unified and hard-working voice: "Outside, outside, the Eighth Route Army broke the Japanese army's transportation line, Ye Zhengjun called the chairman of the committee to aid Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou battlefield variables rose again." ”
"Give me a copy of the newspaper."
"I want one too."
"I want it too."
"Give me a copy!"
People who were accustomed to reading newspapers flocked to the newspaper after hearing the clamor and snatched the newspaper from the newsboy's hand.
"Okay, okay, Xuzhou is saved!"
In a city market, an old man in bright clothes and gray hair sighed with tears after reading the newspaper.
"Old man, this is a great thing, why are you crying?" Seeing this, a student in a tunic next to him hurriedly asked.
"Baby, you don't understand, you don't understand!" The old man shook his head, and after leaving these words, the cane walked away step by step.
。。。。。。。
"Mother, I want to join the army, I want to join the Eighth Route Army, and I want to be General Ye's soldier."
In another city, a teenager who seemed to be under twenty years old immediately returned home after reading the newspaper and knelt down in front of his elderly mother.
"Third brother, go ahead, remember to kill more devils on the battlefield to avenge your two brothers." With tears in her eyes, the boy's mother took out a few pieces of ocean in her arms and handed them over.
"Mother, the battlefield is ruthless, if the child is sacrificed, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill my filial piety under your knees." The boy knelt down and took the ocean from his mother's hand, and continued.
"Go, go, the old woman can take care of herself, go to General Ye to kill the devil." The boy's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved her hand.
"Mother, the child is gone, take care!" The boy kowtowed three times to his mother, then got up and left the house.
。。。。。。。。
Joining the army, sighing, ecstasy... After reading the newspaper, the common people took different forms, and all in all, Ye Zhengjun's telegram this time once again set off a wave of anti-Japanese war in the country.
Some places are even already forming condolence groups, preparing to go to the front line to see this combat hero who has repeatedly broken the enemy.
The common people were elated, but the commander of Chongqing was not happy, and after reading the telegram in the palace, he slapped the table and said angrily, "Niang Xipi, this stinky boy, actually commanded Lao Tzu." ”
Dai Yunong stood aside, as a confidant, if he had been so atmospheric in the past, he would have said that he would have gotten rid of this person, but today he could see that he didn't look at the commander scolding his mother, but the joy on his angry face couldn't be hidden.
"Go, send a telegram to the commanders of each theater, and ask them to urgently dispatch at least one division or more of troops to help Xuzhou." After scolding Ye Zhengjun's commander, Commander Jiang, pondered for a while, and then gave an order to Dai Li.
"It's the headmaster!"
"Wait!"
Dai Li turned around to leave when he heard this, but at this time, Commander Jiang called the other party again, and then said, "Prepare another telegram in clear code, give this Ye Zhengjun a colonel rank, allocate 5,000 military salaries, 10 vehicles of firearms, and 10 tons of materials, and call Deputy General Zhou of Yan'an to discuss matters." ”
"Yes, headmaster, I'll do it right away." Dai Lian nodded and left the 'Presidential Palace'.
。。。。。。。
Compared with the feedback of the chairman of the Chongqing committee, the Yan'an side was even more overjoyed, and the commander-in-chief pulled the commander out of the bed after receiving the telegram.
When the commander-in-chief, who stayed up late to deal with affairs, put on his clothes, lit a cigarette to refresh himself with sleepy eyes and fluffy tiredness, the commander-in-chief put the telegram on the table and said, "Ye boy has done a really beautiful job this time, I am going to prepare a telegram to promote him to be the head of the regiment, what do you think." ”
The commander did not rush to reply, smoked a cigarette and first took the telegram on the table and looked at it.
"Well, it's a beautiful fight, I have no opinion on the promotion, you can watch it." After reading the telegram, the commander suddenly lost his sleepiness and said with a high spirit.
"Then let's have two cups at noon and celebrate." The commander-in-chief said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go to my fellow countryman's house to buy a chicken right away, I'm making a braised pork, let's have a few drinks." Commander Mao was in a good mood, and immediately got up and got out of bed, and walked out of the house to arrange lunch for dinner.
"Ha, it's been a long time since I've drunk wine here, and I'm sure you'll be an old comrade-in-arms today." The commander-in-chief whispered with a smile after the commander left.
。。。。。。
Ye Zhengjun's three telegrams caused the whole country to rummage around, and at this time, the reconnaissance troops that Ye Yi often sent on the march also brought Li Jinrui back to report the situation.
It turned out that after eating in the vanguard company, Ye Zhengjun beckoned the soldiers who could still move to get up and clean up the battlefield, the weapons and equipment of this wing, even if they were burned by the fire, they could still be used at least 1,000 people.
The Eighth Route Army is so difficult now, it can get a little more, and besides, his own troops have been expanded, which is okay without weapons and equipment.
Therefore, everyone in the Vanguard Company except for the seriously wounded, including the lightly wounded, went into battle to clean up the battlefield.
After a while, the soldiers at the entrance of the village spotted the scouts who had approached to observe the enemy's situation, and when they saw the troops coming, the soldiers of the pioneer company hurriedly waved their hands and shouted excitedly.
But they forgot a little, at this time, this devil's skin was still wrapped around his body, and the scouts often sent by Ye Yi saw that their whereabouts were revealed, and they immediately picked up their guns and prepared to fight to the death.
If it weren't for the alertness of the veteran soldiers in the lead, and the soldiers of the Pioneer Company used Chinese, they would really make a big flood and wash away the Dragon King Temple's own family.
Later, under the guidance of the soldiers of the pioneer company, the investigators saw Ye Zhengjun who was cleaning the battlefield with the soldiers.
"What, you took advantage of the night to burn Yang Village and killed a wing of the devil!" Mr. Peng and Ye Yi often listened to the fox's report, and they couldn't believe their ears.
"What are you kidding, a wing of several thousand people will be eaten by a vanguard company with more than 100 people, you are a wooden stake as a devil, little soldier, you are thinking about it, don't report the establishment wrongly, lie about the military situation, but you will have to go to the military justice department."
Mr. Peng waited for Li Jinrui's voice to fall, for fear that the other party would make a mistake in the establishment and turn a good thing into a bad thing, so he immediately put on a straight face and warned him.
"That is, don't be exaggerated, report the battle situation honestly, otherwise Lao Tzu will whip you like you." Ye Yichang couldn't believe what the fox said, and immediately echoed and said.
"Boss, Brother Chang, can we deceive people, the corpse of the devil's co-captain has been asked by Brother Jun to ask Huzi to get a wooden shelf to hang on it, I don't believe you can go and see it yourself." Li Jinrui saw that the two did not believe it and hurriedly pleaded.
"Really?" Seeing that the other party was so sure, Mr. Peng half-squinted his eyes and cast an inquiring glance at the investigators.
"Boss, we haven't seen the corpse of the captain of the devil wing, but it's true that there are devil corpses everywhere in Yang Village." Seeing this, the old soldier led by the scouts immediately reported.
"I'm afraid you tell the troops to speed up the march, I'll go over and see what the situation is." Seeing that the old soldier replied without the slightest hesitation, Mr. Peng was still suspicious in his heart, and immediately gave instructions to Ye Yichang.
"Yes, boss." Ye Yichang replied immediately.
"Little warrior, lead the way." Seeing this, Mr. Peng immediately said to Li Jinrui.
