，

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan watched the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion coming and going in this headquarters, and they were placed on the sofa in the hall to rest, and after a while, a man who looked like a guard walked up to them and said to them: "Are you the main seats of the Northern Expeditionary Army?!" ”

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan stood up and nodded when they heard this, and then the man smiled and said: "I am Shang Dinan, the guard of the commander of the fourth battalion of the guard regiment of the Third Army of An, and our battalion commander wants to see you."

and made a gesture of invitation to the three of them. The three of them glanced at each other, then nodded their heads and walked with Shang Dinan to the second floor. Turning a corner upstairs, he saw Chandinand knocking on a gorgeous wooden door and shouting, "Tell me! Battalion commander, several main seats of the Northern Expeditionary Army have arrived! ”

At this time, a slightly rich baritone came from inside: "Come in!" "Chandinand outside the door" snap! A solemn upright man said loudly: "Yes! ”

Seeing Shang Dinan's expression, Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan couldn't help but nod their heads. It seems that this slaughtering battalion commander is simply very powerful, this Shang Dinan and the Zhou Tuolong who went to them not only have a neat military appearance, but also coincide with the respect from the bottom of their hearts when mentioning this battalion commander. It is clear that this battalion commander has a very high prestige in their hearts. And Gang Shang Dinan, whether it is narrating or standing upright, not only only has the quality of a professional soldier, but also is solemn from the heart!

After obtaining Tu Qianjun's permission, Shang Dinan led Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan into the office. When Su Zongzhen and the others walked into the office, they saw an extremely burly man. The man looked down at the papers in the sunlight from behind the window, but couldn't see his face.

The man sat on the chair with his head down and looked at the documents on the table, and the sharp-eyed Deng Yinfan even saw the Japanese on those documents. Immediately, Deng Yinfan couldn't help but be stunned, who is this slaughter battalion commander?! Do you know Japanese?! You must know that although there are many people who know Japanese in those days, there are not many people, especially soldiers.

Tu Qianjun continued to look at the documents, and waved his hand at Su Zongzhen and the others without raising his head: "Sit down!" I'll read the document and the conversation in a moment. ”

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan glanced at each other, and then sat down on a row of sofas to the right of the desk. Shang Dinan, on the other hand, chuckled and served them tea, and then returned to Tu Qianjun and stood solemnly. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Deng Yinfan whispered to Su Zongzhen and Li Yannian: "This slaughter camp commander is not simple, all the documents he reads are in Japanese. ”

Su Zongzhen and Li Yannian were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they thought about it. It seems that this slaughter battalion commander is really not an ordinary person, you must know that although the officers have a certain level of education now, if a battalion commander can understand Japanese, even if it is in Guo Min's revolutionary army, there are really few to be found.

Just as they were thinking about it, they looked at the documents for a while, and Tu Qianjun finally closed the documents in his hand and walked to the three of them with a smile. looked at them and said, "I am Tu Qianjun, the fourth battalion of the guard regiment of the Third Army of An, welcome to my headquarters." ”

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan stood up and looked at Tu Qianjun in surprise! They couldn't help but be surprised, Tu Qianjun's face was too tender, it looked like it was only about twenty! He may not even be twenty years old, although his face is just and abnormal, and his eyebrows are like knives, and his eyes are as bright as eagle's eyes, and his pupils are shining with stars! When he started to speak, his voice was lowered and magnetic, and with his body like a mountain tiger, he was really a good man in the army!

But this face is too immature, isn't it?! If it weren't for the solemn face of Shang Dinan behind Tu Qianjun, Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan would even wonder if this was a farce! Tu Qianjun looked at the stunned three of them, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Do the three of you think I'm too young?!" ”

To tell the truth, since joining An, Tu Qianjun has suffered a lot for his own tender face. At the beginning, in the village, the old bars looked at their faces and came to find trouble, and later they were stopped when they went to Peking University, because they felt that they were tender and could be frightened, and when they first entered the army, Qi Mudeng also targeted himself because of his tender face and felt that he was a male brother who came to mix qualifications, and it was easy to establish some prestige in Anli, but the red yellow commissioner felt that he was too old to threaten him. As soon as he thought of this, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, Nima! Always have a tender face! But it doesn't mean it's easy to bully!

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan heard Tu Qianjun's words, and stood up in amazement, bowed to Tu Qianjun in shame, and Su Zongzhen said, "I'm really sorry!" We were really scared by the age of the battalion commander! I really didn't expect that the general who withstood the attack of tens of thousands of people of our Northern Expeditionary Army and captured the city of Jinan would be so young! So this time it was rude. ”

Tu Qianjun waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down first. After Su Zongzhen and the others received Tu Qianjun's signal, they sat down opposite Tu Qianjun quite embarrassed.

After they sat down, Tu Qianjun looked at them and said, "I already know from the documents of the Japanese army that they have now been dismissed by Jiang Zhongzheng, and they have been abandoned together with the more than 1,000 brothers under his command and the more than 9,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who were captured in Jinan City. So I'd like to know what's next. ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, the three of them were stunned at first, and then looked at each other and smiled bitterly. What else can you do by waiting for someone else?! Return to the Northern Expeditionary Army?! They have already broken their hearts with Jiang Zhongzhen, and they are unwilling to let them think about him again. Even if they reluctantly go back, most of the soldiers under their command will surely flee. And because they disobeyed Jiang Zhongzheng's order, they returned to the Northern Expeditionary Army and their fate can be imagined. It's good to be deposed, and they may even be shot for disobeying military orders.

"What does Camp Commander mean by that?! Straight! Su Zongzhen didn't want to go around the corner, and said directly to Tu Qianjun: "We are already down-and-out people, and it's not interesting to go back." It was also a blessing for the battalion commander to take him in. ”

Tu Qianjun smiled and didn't squeak, but returned to the desk and picked up a telegram and walked to Su Zongzhe and handed it to him. Su Zongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then took the telegram. I saw that it read: The appointment certificate of the Generalissimo of the Army and Navy of the Republic of China, Tu Qianjun, the commander of the 4th Battalion of the Guard Regiment of the 3rd Army Corps of the Republic of China, was immediately appointed to serve the Republic of China, and did his best for the happiness of his compatriots. He is hereby commended and hereby appointed as the commander of the First Army directly under An.

This state, Zhang Zuolin. May 5, 17th year of the Republic of China.

Su Zongzhe, Li Yannian, and Deng Yinfan saw this letter of appointment, and their brains exploded for a while! No way?! What an age! They all became military commanders! Is there a mistake?!
