Datong, the headquarters of the 36th Army.

Everyone saw that Zhang Yunfei had finished sending a telegram to Yan'an, and chatted happily for a while, Zhang Yunfei saw that the night was dark, and it was already two o'clock in the morning, so Zhang Yunfei said: "Comrades, you better go and rest first, everyone has been working for more than 20 hours in a row, just have me here." ”

At present, the war on the eastern front has ended, and several divisions of the little devils reinforcing Guisui are retreating to Zhangjiakou overnight, and in the west of Guisui, with the complete destruction of the headquarters of the little devil Mengsui regiment, all the high-level leaders of the little devils have been captured, and the battle has entered the final stage.

It is expected that tomorrow the remnants of the enemy in Guisui City will be eliminated and the city will be completely restored. Therefore, there is basically no need for everyone's command now, just wait for the news from the front line, everyone can go back to rest, and leave one person on duty here.

When everyone saw Zhang Yunfei say this, they all didn't want to go down to rest, how could they keep the commander-in-chief here to work hard and go down to rest by themselves.

Therefore, Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, said: "Commander-in-chief, you and everyone should go and rest first, just have me here, and it was common for people not to sleep for a few days and nights during the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. ”

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Comrade Liu Dazhu also contended and said: "I'm still on duty here!" Everyone went to rest first, there was so much good news today, and I couldn't sleep with excitement. ”

After Liu Dazhu finished speaking, everyone immediately laughed again, and everyone felt the same way.

Zhang Yunfei also smiled slightly, looking at Liu Dazhu who was smiling and not sleepy, so Zhang Yunfei said: "In this case, then Comrade Dazhu will work hard, be on duty here, and everyone will take over tomorrow morning and go back to rest with Dazhu." ”

When everyone saw that it was Zhang Yunfei's arrangement, they all agreed, and when everyone left, they all greeted Comrade Liu Dazhu and said, "Comrade Dazhu has worked hard."

Zhang Yunfei greeted everyone, and then took an off-road vehicle back to his residence, and the guard comrades standing guard at the door saw that the commander-in-chief was back, and they all stood up and saluted, Zhang Yunfei returned the salute, and then strode into the gate and walked inside.

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Yunfei found that the living room and bedroom inside were still lit, it seemed that Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying had not slept yet, and were still waiting for themselves to come back, Zhang Yunfei was a little moved, it was more than two o'clock in the night.

Zhang Yunfei quickened his pace and shouted inside, "Yuxin, Xiaoying, I'm back." ”

"Squeak", the door of the living room opened, and the two figures quickly jumped into Zhang Yunfei's arms, Zhang Yunfei hugged left and right, smelling the faint and charming fragrance emitted by the two people, feeling the soft delicate bodies of the two, it was really refreshing, and it felt very wonderful.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the delicate faces of the two, both of them were a little tired on their faces, Zhang Yunfei said a little distressed: "Yuxin, Xiaoying, why have you waited for me for so long?" You see, it's past two o'clock now, and it's easy for women to get old if they stay up late. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoying gently touched her beautiful face with her little hand, and said in disbelief: "Really? Is it easy for a woman to get old if she stays up late? ”

Seeing Jiang Xiaoying's cute appearance, Zhang Yunfei lovingly used his index finger to gently scrape the bridge of Jiang Xiaoying's nose, and Jiang Xiaoying wrinkled his beautiful and lovely nose slightly.

Lin Yuxin, who was next to her, giggled, when she saw Jiang Xiaoying's appearance.

The three of them entered the living room, Lin Yuxin gently took off the military uniform for Zhang Yunfei and carefully hung it on the hanger next to him, while Jiang Xiaoying made Zhang Yunfei a cup of hot tea full of aroma.

Zhang Yunfei was in the command headquarters, commanding a day's battle, and his nerves were also relatively nervous, and the whole person was in a state of work.

Zhang Yunfei took a sip of tea, took a sip gently, and then sat on the chair, while Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying gently massaged Zhang Yunfei left and right, Zhang Yunfei was so comfortable that he almost moaned, and the little fatigue just now subsided immediately.

Zhang Yunfei saw that the two girls didn't sleep, and after waiting for so long, he must be quite tired, so he only let the two massage for a while, and said: "Yuxin, Xiaoying, you are all sleepy, let's rest." ”

Hearing this, the two of them showed a little shame on their faces, and they both nodded lightly. Zhang Yunfei saw that the two women's faces were a little red and a little shy, and his heart was also moved, and he led the two girls to the bedroom.

Zhang Yunfei thought in his heart, to have such two beautiful women, I don't know which life he has cultivated, the two of them are so good to themselves, so considerate and gentle, he must cherish them and love them well.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yunfei came to the headquarters early, and as soon as he entered the headquarters, he saw Comrade Liu Dazhu with a little bloodshot eyes and a tired face, Zhang Yunfei said: "Dazhu, go and rest, you really worked hard last night." ”

Listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Comrade Liu Dazhu was a little moved, and said with a slight red in the corners of his eyes: "Commander-in-chief, I'm not working hard at all, I'd better wait a little longer, and wait for Lao Zuo and Lao Deng to come and then go to rest." ”

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch and found that it was only eight o'clock, and last night because everyone was working until more than two o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yunfei asked everyone to take a good rest, come back later, and come to the headquarters at nine o'clock, nine o'clock is still an hour away.

So, Zhang Yunfei said: "Dazhu, go down and rest, Lao Zuo and Lao Deng will come after a while, I have enough here." ”

Hearing this, Liu Dazhu looked at Zhang Yunfei, who was full of energy, and couldn't help yawning, scratched his head embarrassedly, and smiled awkwardly: "Commander-in-chief, then I'll go down and rest first." ”

Zhang Yunfei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go quickly, take a good rest." ”

Seeing Liu Dazhu leave the command headquarters, Zhang Yunfei walked to the huge map hanging in the command hall, looked at the vast northwest, and fell into deep thought.

The vast northwest is not only vast in area, not only suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in many places in the territory, but also rich in mineral resources, rich in oil in Qinghai, Yumen, Karamay, and Tarim, and rich in iron ore in Baiyun Obo in the north of Baotou.

Looking at the location of Baiyun Obo on the map, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but think of some information about Baiyun Obo.

Baiyun Obo mining area is located in the south of the Mongolian Plateau, 212 kilometers southeast of Hohhot City, 149 kilometers south of Baotou City, Baiyun Obo mineral resources are rich, iron ore reserves of about 1.4 billion tons, niobium reserves of 6.6 million tons, rare earth reserves of about 100 million tons.

If a large-scale iron and steel plant is built in Baotou, relying on the large mineral resources of Baiyun Obo, it will be able to fully meet the steel needs of the troops and the base areas.

Although the second brigade of the little devil's cavalry is still stationed in Baotou, the more than 10,000 cavalry of the little devil, in Zhang Yunfei's opinion, is now completely alone, and it won't be long before Zhang Yunfei will send troops to clean them up.

At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone came to the headquarters one after another, Zhang Yunfei saw that everyone was in much better spirits after a few hours of rest, Zhang Yunfei also joked happily: "Comrades, it seems that everyone is sleeping very soundly." ”

Everyone laughed, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, also said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, I went back to sleep in a dream, and I woke up laughing in my dreams. ”

"Lao Zuo, it seems that we are heroes, and I also dreamed that our troops recovered Yanjing and captured the little devil Okamura Ningji, the commander of the North China Front, alive." Deng Wenping, director of the General Political Department, also smiled and said heartily.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, and said happily: "Comrades, your dreams, we will not be able to realize them in a long time, we will not only recover Beiping, but also recover North China, recover the whole of China, and drive the little devils back to their hometowns." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's bold words, everyone was also very excited, and everyone believed that under the leadership of Zhang Yunfei, it would not take two or three years for these things to be implemented.

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, he saw Comrade Zuo Qingquan with a happy face, and suddenly remembered something, so Zhang Yunfei said with a smile: "Old Zuo, the battle of our Guisui is almost over, and Oka Buzhi Saburo was also captured alive by us, but there is one more thing, we can't forget, comrades, everyone says yes." ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the good news ahead was one after another, and everyone was immersed in joy, and almost forgot about the bet between Zhang Yunfei and Chief of Staff Zuo.

Seeing Zhang Yunfei mention it, everyone looked at Comrade Zuo Qingquan with a smile on their faces, and Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, saw that everyone was looking at him, he also smiled slightly, and said very boldly: "Comrades, tonight, I will set up a few tables at the best restaurant in Datong, Kelai Xiang Restaurant, and welcome everyone to come." ”

As soon as Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the General Staff, finished speaking, everyone applauded. In the Kelai Xiang Restaurant in Datong, a few tables are set up, which requires a lot of oceans, a table is estimated to cost thirty or forty oceans, and if there are several tables, it is estimated that hundreds of oceans are needed, and Zhang Yunfei made a bet that the monthly salary of the chief of the General Staff of Zuo is gone.

At present, the 36 th Group Army pays its salaries on time every month, and ordinary soldiers are two oceans per month, and squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders are increased at one time; the higher the rank and position, the higher the military salary, and the highest is naturally Zhang Yunfei, with a tentative monthly rate of 200 yuan, and the left chief of staff is 160 yuan a month.
