"Report, the first division reported that the devils who came out of Nanjing have retreated. Report of the 3rd Division, the Independent Division, the Tank Brigade. They have completely captured northern Anhui, and have begun to build defensive positions in Huaibei to defend against the devils in Xuzhou. ”

In the same four days, Chen Jinghui received a succession of good news, which also indicated the successful end of the campaign to recover Anhui.

"Okay, hahaha, I didn't expect to recover Anhui so soon. The Third Division and the Independent Division were ordered to continue to deploy Huaibei, but to deploy Quanjiao with the Second Division, and ordered the First Division to immediately withdraw to Hefei and garrison Hefei. ”

Chen Jinghui was very happy to receive the good news, and immediately laughed and jumped up at the temporary headquarters in Hefei, and then made a defensive deployment in Anhui.

"Immediately send the good news to the political commissar, so that he can also be happy, and at the same time he can rest assured."

After being happy, Chen Jinghui suddenly remembered Chen Hu, who was still busy in Jiangxi, so he immediately told him the report of the recovery of Anhui.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, it's finally over, I've been worried about it for the past few days, and I've finally won it, okay."

Chen Hu was also happy to receive the good news, and the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground. In the battle of Anhui in the past few days, he is very worried. He heard that the devil Nanjing had come to support him in Jiangxi for a while, and he heard that the devil had gone to northern Anhui to help the troops, and then he watched his plane take off and land continuously, which made him uneasy, and he was always afraid that Chen Jinghui would have some accident. Now it's over, it's over, it's won, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

Similarly, Chen Jinghui's recovery of Anhui is such a big move, it must not be hidden from the ears and eyes of Chongqing and Yan'an. After receiving Chen Jinghui's telegram that he had successfully recovered Anhui, the two of them were busy again.

"Report, Yan'an Telegraph." The communications corps reported.

"Read."

Chen Jinghui was lying on the chair and forced his eyes, at this moment he just wanted to have a good rest, so when the telegram came, he just asked the operator to read it, indicating that he knew.

"Commander Mao, Commander-in-Chief, and Deputy Commander Zhou of Yan'an jointly congratulated us on the successful recovery of Anhui." The communications soldier read.

"Well, got it. Call back, thank you for your concern from Commander Mao, Commander-in-Chief, and Deputy Commander Zhou. As a soldier, I should recover the rivers and mountains, expel the Japanese invaders, and promote my Chinese might. Chen Jinghui forced his eyes and said.

"Report, telegram from Commander-in-Chief Peng of the Eighteenth Group Army, congratulations on your successful recovery of Anhui and the prestige of our China." The communications soldier read.

"Call back, thank you Mr. Peng for your concern, and then I will work harder." Chen Jinghui said.

"Report, General Xue Yue telegraphed, congratulating us on our successful recovery of Anhui." The communications soldier read.

"Call back, thank you General Xue, recovering the rivers and mountains is the mission of our soldiers." Chen Jinghui said.

"Report, General Li Zongren ......"

"Okay, if you receive a congratulatory telegram, you will always reply with thanks."

Seeing the telegram room expressing congratulations one after another, Chen Jinghui was also tired of listening to it, and directly stopped listening.

"Army commander, army commander, Chongqing Commander Chiang telegram." Said the communications officer.

"Didn't I tell you? Do you always reply thanks for your concern! Why are you still bothering me. Chen Jinghui said impatiently.

"It's not the army commander, this is Commander Jiang's commendation order." Said the communications officer.

"Commendation order, read it and listen to it."

Hearing the commendation order, Chen Jinghui wanted to hear what kind of commendation this stingy commander Jiang could give him.

"Commendation order, congratulations to General Chen on the successful recovery of Anhui and the prestige of China. In view of General Chen's outstanding performance and contribution to the Chinese people, General Chen was promoted to the rank of general as a token of commendation. October 8, 29th year of the Republic of China. Jiang Zhongzheng. The Signal Soldier read.

"What, promoted to the rank of general, there are no other rewards? And what about my soldiers! No reward at all? ”

When Chen Jinghui heard this, he stood up suddenly, snatched the telegram from the hand of the communications soldier, and read it carefully. When I saw the above, I only mentioned that I was promoted to general, and nothing else.

"Well, Jiang slammed the door, give a general a fart, I can seal myself at any time. You're going to be practical, and it's nothing. Chen Jinghui began to chatter.

"Commander, don't be annoyed, you're a general now, hehe......" A staff officer next to him teased.

"Go, go, go, get out of the way, I didn't see it annoying!" Chen Jinghui said angrily.

"Okay, let's go, hehe......"

"Hello Chief of Staff."

Several staff officers were scolded a few times, and they directly covered their mouths and walked out, and they continued to be scolded in the province. When they just walked to the door, they happened to run into Chief of Staff Xu who came back.

"I mean, what are you laughing at?" Chief of Staff Xu asked.

"Over there, Chief of Staff, be careful."

Several staff officers pointed to Chen Jinghui in the room, reminding Chief of Staff Xu to be careful and not to step on thunder.

"I said, Commander, what makes you angry! Didn't this succeed in taking Anhui? Chief of Staff Xu asked deliberately.

"Old Xu! Come on, come on, come on, Lao Xu, you see, you see. Do you say that this Commander Chiang is too picky, so he only made me a general, and nothing else. How do you ask me to explain to the soldiers below, you say. ”

Chen Jinghui stuffed the telegram in his hand to Chief of Staff Xu, and began to make a commotion.

Chief of Staff Xu took the telegram and looked at it quickly, at first like Chen Jinghui, his face was very ugly, but then he suddenly laughed.

"Hehe, Commander, that's a good thing!" Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Old Xu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Jinghui said suspiciously.

"Commander, listen to me explain to you why this is a good thing. Look! The last time Commander Chiang promoted you to lieutenant general, did he limit your strength at the same time, is it a division, right? But if you look at this telegram from Commander Chiang now, Commander Chiang only promoted you to general, but did not say how much establishment he gave you, so there is a saying. If you think about the current military law, Yan Laoxi in Shaanxi, Li Zongren in Liangguang, Fu Zuoyi in Hebei, as well as the Hunan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Gui Army, aren't those big warlord leaders all generals! How many people do they have? At least, there are two or three hundred thousand people. And the official positions of their subordinates are not sealed by themselves, and then reported. So that's it! We can take advantage of this loophole appropriately. Chief of Staff Xu analyzed.

"Shhh...... Lao Xu, don't say it, after you say this, I kind of understand. You mean to say that we can also learn from those people and continue to expand our ranks, and then Commander Chiang has nothing to say. As for the official positions of those soldiers or something, I have the final say, and Commander Chiang will not give them to him anyway. When the time comes, we will be stronger, and he will be even more helpless. Chen Jinghui said.

"Well, that's the reason, the loophole in his commendation order is here, you have to catch it, commander, lest he find out later, and change it for you, it will be troublesome." Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Yes, yes, Lao Xu is right. Come and send a report to the political commissar and ask him to immediately arrange the conscription in Anhui, the more the better. Chen Jinghui ordered.

"Hahaha, if Commander Jiang knew, he would have to be angry." Chief of Staff Xu said.

"Hahaha, whatever! Whoever asked him not to pay me, I can be regarded as recovering the lost territory of a province. Chen Jinghui said confidently. (To be honest, Commander Chiang really cares about the development and growth of other people's military strength, so he always suppresses those previous military laws, and their troops are cannon fodder on the front line.) ）

"Hahaha......" Chief of Staff Xu also laughed.

"Report" Just when they were happy, the guards ran in to report.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jinghui asked.

"Commander, political commissar, you better go out and have a look! There are a lot of reporters gathered at the door, all saying that they want to interview you. The guard said.

"What an interview! Not available. "Chen Jinghui is most annoyed by these reporters, so when he hears that they are reporters, he doesn't want to pay attention to them.

"Commander, don't underestimate the power of these journalists. Sometimes, one of their articles is worth a division. You might as well go out and meet them and say whatever you want! Chief of Staff Xu persuaded.

"Don't go, what is there to say, the reconquest of lost territory is originally the duty of our soldiers, what is there to promote." Chen Jinghui said.

"Commander, it is the duty of our soldiers to regain lost territory. But our soldiers have lost most of the good rivers and mountains, now take back a little, and give the people a hope! Chief of Staff Xu said.

"That'...... Alas...... All right! I'm going to meet them. When Chen Jinghui heard Chief of Staff Xu say this, he also felt ashamed.

"Come out, come out, you're the biggest official here! I'm a reporter from the Hefei Times, can you answer me a question? ”

"I'm a reporter from the Central Daily, may I ask you how you feel about the recovery of Anhui."

"Hello, I'm an American reporter, may I ask if you will continue to carry out such a large-scale military operation against Japan."

……

When the reporters saw Chen Jinghui coming out, they didn't know who he was, but when they saw him hugging him, they knew that it was a big official, so they stepped forward to ask questions.

"Fellow journalists, everyone be quiet, this is Chen Jinghui, the commander of our Flying Fox, and also the commander-in-chief of the recovery of Anhui, I would like to ask him to tell you about it." Chief of Staff Xu said after maintaining order for a while.

"Okay, okay, click."

After the reporters answered, they began to take pictures from various angles.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet, quiet." Chief of Staff Xu continued the positional order.
