Chapter 185: Where Is He?
In the spring of 2021 in the Han calendar, the drizzle is like silk, and God has added a bit of artistic conception to Chengdu people who like to drink tea.
In the teahouse by the Jinjiang River, it has always been the place where all kinds of news spread the fastest, and on this day, the "Yuelai Tea House" was full of people.
Tea guests get together in three or five, make fragrant tea, eat some snacks, and the happiness of life may be nothing more than this.
In recent years, the hottest topic in Chengdu has been the fighting of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army in various places.
"Our Sichuan army, but we need a few more tiger generals." A middle-aged tea guest in a dress pretends to be mysterious.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'how many Tiger Generals do you want?' The person who said this is a frequent visitor to this tea house, "In the past few years, the various units of the Sichuan army have fought in the south and the north, and there have been some generals, but those who can fight the most are still those few." ”
"Oh? This friend, do you think that among the Sichuan army, which ones are the most capable of fighting? ”
Speaking of this topic, the tea guests at the next table were all a little interested and looked at this table together.
The Li Lao Liu, who accosted him later, is a professional stock speculator for a living, and every day when he comes out of the stock morning market, he will go to this teahouse to drink a few pots, and his favorite thing is to communicate with people about the war of the Sichuan army.
Li Laoliu said loudly: "According to me, the Sichuan army is the most capable of fighting a tough battle, and the commander Peng Depeng is the commander." This Commander Peng fought from Sichuan to Tubo, and from Tubo to the Western Regions, and he was like a bamboo along the way, and he did not taste defeat...... Think about it, the high mountains of Tibet and the great desert of the Western Regions, it is good that ordinary people can walk over, but Commander Peng and his soldiers swept all the way. Commander Peng is really the first hero of our Sichuan army. ”
The tea guests next to them who were not familiar with the Sichuan Army nodded secretly when they heard this, and some were not very convinced.
"Hi, Li Lao Liu. That's not what I said, Commander Peng is powerful, but you said that he was the first hero of the Sichuan Army, isn't it too much? ”
Li Lao Liu seemed to have expected that someone would say this: "Hehe, it's not me who said that Commander Peng is the first hero of the Sichuan Army, this is after Commander Peng personally led the assault team from the Tubo Plateau through the no-man's land to the Western Regions." Commander-in-Chief Xie personally wrote a poem to prove it: the mountains are high, the roads are far away, and the ravines are deep, and the army is galloping vertically and horizontally. Who dares to slash right away? Only I am General Peng. Doesn't that tell the story? ”
"Okay, let's talk about the most skillful battle in the Sichuan army. Then you have to count Commander Su Huaiyusu. The troops he led fought from Yunnan to Burma, and finally to Calcutta, northeast of Tianzhu. The most incredible was the 'Bengal Campaign', where more than 80,000 members of the British Expeditionary Force were wiped out by Commander Su Huaiyu's troops. It was an earth-shattering battle. The number of our army is only half of that of the British army and the Tianzhu native soldiers. They all thought that it would be good for Commander Su to maintain a draw, but who knows, Commander Su won seven battles from Chittagong, Dhaka to Calcutta, and finally wiped out the enemy. ”
"The most ruthless in the Sichuan army, that is the commander of Lin Sanhu Lin. The troops of the Three Tigers set out from the province of Red River. Laid down the entire Indochina Peninsula, more than a dozen large and small countries. Those who surrendered, not to mention, and those who did not surrender, were all wiped out by the Three Tiger Commanders. Now the natives over there, hearing the name of the Three Tiger Commanders, are so scared that they pee their pants. ”
"The most comprehensive in the Sichuan army must be Commander Lin Xianyunlin. At the beginning, Commander Lin only had a few thousand men, but it was with these thousands of men and horses that he swept across the South Seas. What the UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain...... The colonial troops left in Nanyang by many countries were made dumplings by Commander Lin. Commander Lin is not only good at fighting, but also good at doing things, and now how much grain and rubber are transported back every year on the Nanyang side! ”
"The handsome talents in the Sichuan army, except for Commander-in-Chief Xie, that is Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu Geng. Over the years, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu is simply a firefighter, where the situation is critical, he will take people to where to reinforce, I see, although Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu has nothing special to show his great achievements, but everyone see, Tubo, Western Regions, Tianzhu, Zhongnan, Nanyang, where has Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu not been? Therefore, the Sichuan army must not be without Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu. ”
After saying it in one breath, Li Lao Liu was very proud, and the tea guests next to him also nodded secretly.
The Sichuan Government, on its part, has detailed regulations on news and propaganda, and the Information Bureau has to check what can and cannot be reported, and under Xie Niancheng's instructions, the official reports are as tilted toward the officers and men at the grassroots level as much as possible.
Not to mention the commanders of the front army like Xu Geng and Lin Sanhu, even the commanders of the level of Su Wanyun and Zhang Chengyue have basically not reported it.
The official purpose of doing this is to raise the status of ordinary officers and soldiers in the hearts of the common people, that is, to enhance the positive image of the entire army.
However, the common people of Kawanaka did not understand the painstaking efforts of the officials, and still wishfully credited the commanders with all the credit.
China has a tradition of attributing credit to its leaders. In fact, in modern warfare, the power of the individual is far less than everyone thinks.
For example, in the European theater of last year's truce, there was a war of millions of people at every turn, and no matter how great the strength of an individual is, it cannot influence the course of the war.
After saying this, Li Lao Liu smiled and said: "This brother Laoguan, I don't know what the names of the tiger generals you mentioned?" ”
The tea guest in a dress asked rhetorically, "Everyone should know about the war in Europe, right?" ”
Although the place where the European war took place is far away from China, all of you here are people who like to chat, and naturally they know a little bit about the European war.
"You know, the war in Europe, what does it matter to us in Sichuan? What's the matter with our Sichuan army? ”
"I have a top-secret message for you, this news will be released soon...... When I came back from Germany some time ago, I met some people on the ship, they were all German generals, and this time I took the boat back to Sichuan, but they all wanted to join our Chinese Revolutionary Army. ”
This news made everyone come to the spirits.
The scale of the European battlefield was huge, which made the Chinese people very amazed, and the German Wehrmacht, which was already a country with the strength of Germany, and the confrontation with Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Russia, and the United States, naturally also made the Chinese people very impressed. When they heard that several generals of the German army were going to join the Chinese Revolutionary Army, everyone was a little unconvinced.
"This boss, don't lie, the German general is very valuable...... Although over the years, there have been many German experts and masters working in our Sichuan, but your news still sounds a little mysterious, did you hear it wrong? ”
The man in the dress laughed: "Everyone, those generals are speaking our Chinese, how could I hear it wrong?" ”
Now everyone didn't believe it anymore, and immediately someone called some high-quality goods to this man in dress, wanting to hear about it.
"Hehe, everyone must have heard that there are wars in Europe, there are planes in the sky, tanks on the ground, and warships in the water, and our revolutionary army has won so many battles in Nanyang and Zhongnan over the years, and it has something to do with the fact that the forces of the United States, France and other powers have been contained by Germany and the weak rule in this region. The attention of the great powers is in Europe, do you know how the world's most powerful British navy was destroyed in one war? ”
"I know, I heard that it was a plane raid...... The fleets on both sides pulled out, and when the fighting in the North Sea was raging, the German air force suddenly came out and blew up all the British ships. ”
"This is right, but you must not know, the air force general who led the attack on these British ships is none other than us Chinese, and this person is about to come back, if he comes back, it means that we also have an air force."
This news is really exciting, Air Force!
Now there are often planes flying around in the sky over Sichuan, but no one still thought that the air force would go up.
"On the European battlefield, Germany's ground forces were also invincible, but it was only after the United States entered the war that it forced Germany to cease the war by using its superiority in troops. Everyone must know that the most elite of the German ground forces is the tank force, and I tell you that the commanders of the two most elite tank corps in Germany are also our Chinese, and now they are also back, and they will also join our Chinese Revolutionary Army! ”
……
After the man in dress chatted with everyone for a while, everyone discussed hotly, but the man in dress himself disappeared into the crowd.
Squeezing out the crowd, the man in the dress beckoned to a few of his subordinates, "Go." ”
Several of his subordinates were a little speechless, and this person was Xu Wenchang, vice chairman of the National Salvation Association and vice chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government. This Xu Wenchang likes to wander in the streets and alleys, doing some things like "breaking the news", and he himself is very happy about it.
The people in the teahouse naturally didn't know that they had missed such a legend, and they were still discussing it enthusiastically.
In the end, Li Lao Liu sighed: "This army commander and that commander are all amazing...... However, if you want me to say, the most remarkable thing is Commander-in-Chief Xie! ”
Hearing Li Lao Liu say this, everyone's expressions became a little respectful, and the words "Commander-in-Chief Xie" are also worthy of everyone's respect.
In just six or seven years, Sichuan and even Yunnan and Guizhou have developed from a poor and backward province in the entire Chinese Federation to the most developed region in Asia, and the life of the people is getting better day by day.
"I heard that Commander-in-Chief Xie said when he was a student that he wanted everyone in the world to live a good life as long as they were honest and willing to work...... Look at the current Sichuan, it's really like this, Commander-in-Chief Xie is really amazing. ”
Everyone nodded, and under the work of the National Salvation Association, Xie Niancheng's positive image had been perfectly established.
Someone seemed to suddenly think of something: "By the way, why hasn't there been news of Commander-in-Chief Xie for a long time?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and it seemed like it was really going on.
"Where has Commander-in-Chief Xie gone?"
It was Li Lao Liu who smiled and said: "Don't care where Commander-in-Chief Xie is, in short, his old man must be doing something earth-shattering again, let's just wait and see!" ”
"Well said, well said."
The tea house in the spring rain is even more lively. (To be continued......)
