The climax of the Zhujie meeting was the live newspaper drama adapted by Tian Han, director of the Sixth Division of the Third Hall of the Military Commission, with Zhang Lingfu and Wanjialing Dajie as the background, and Tian Han even rushed to De'an from Wuhan to personally lead the performance, in addition, Tian Han also personally composed the lyrics, and invited the author of "Yuguang Song" to compose the "Military Song of the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army"

Arise, brethren, the time is come.

In the loud and majestic military songs, Yu Jishi and Wang Yaowu were full of ambition to be interviewed by reporters from all walks of life.

"Hello Master Wang, I am Ta Kung Pao reporter Lu Yao, first of all, I warmly congratulate the 5th Pei soldiers on their brilliant victory in Zhanggushan, my question is, when Zhang Gushan is in a critical situation, what kind of spirit is supporting the 5th Pei soldiers and supporting them to persist in fighting?"

Wang Yaowu waved his hand and said freely: "What spirit? There is no spirit, just because we are shouldering the historical mission of the War of Resistance, and the brothers have no way to retreat."

"Hello Commander Yu, I am the reporter Feng Zhixing who declared, I have no problem, I just want to say to you Commander Yu, in the first battle of Wanjialing, the 74th Army played the national prestige, military prestige, and even played the iron backbone, I and my colleagues all firmly believe that the 74th Army will be as sung in the military song, the more you fight, the more courageous you are, and it will eventually become a lingering nightmare for little Japan."

Yu Jishi pulled the straight general on his body, then turned around and pointed to the mountains of Japanese-style guns and hibiscus piled up behind him, as well as dozens of mortars and infantry guns, and said casually: "Reporter Feng, accept your auspicious words, others I Yu dare not guarantee, but like the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan, we will kill one if one comes, and we will kill one pair if we come to two."

Reporters from all walks of life who gathered around Yu Jishi and Wang Yaowu applauded for a long time and enthusiastically.

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the national army has suffered too many defeats, has lost too much land, abandoned cities and lost land to the point that they have even become numb, and such bold words are particularly needed at this time.

Yu Jishi and Wang Yaowu have completely become the protagonists of the Zhujie Conference, including Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the corps, and all the senior generals of the L Corps have become foils.

"What bird feathers?" A division commander turned his back to spit out thick phlegm, and scolded and said, "It made the small Japanese 10th Pei Regiment as if their 74th Army was wiped out." After finishing speaking, the division commander turned his head back again, and glared viciously at Feng Shengfa, who was sitting not far away, and Feng Shengfa also suffered an unwarranted disaster.

However, when he saw the tears in the corners of Feng Shengfa's eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

(Dividing Line)

In the loud song of the 74th Army, Feng Shengfa silently shed tears.

We have defended Luodian, defended the capital, galloped to the aid of Xuzhou, fought the Lanfeng Nanxun line, showed Jingzhong, Zhang Gushan, blood stained red, these lyrics sang Feng Shengfa's heart, if Zhang Gushan is changed to Wanjialing, this is almost the history of the 58th Division's Anti-Japanese War, unfortunately Zhang Gushan is Zhang Gushan, can not change Wanjialing.

Tian Han's military song was also written specifically for the 5th Pei, not for their 58th Division.

At this moment, Feng Shengfa felt a strong sense of guilt, he felt ashamed of the thousands of brothers who would rest under Wanjialing forever, they really dyed Wanjialing red with blood, and really exchanged their lives for the victory of Wanjialing, but they couldn't get the honor that should have belonged to them, Feng Shengfa felt even more ashamed of the more than 400 remnants of the surviving soldiers, who should have been the protagonists of this celebration meeting.

A big hand suddenly pressed on Feng Shengfa's shoulder, Feng Shengfa turned back indifferently, and Xue Yue stood behind him.

"The main seat." Feng Shengfa hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and wanted to get up and salute, but was pressed back by Xue Yue couldn't help but say, Xue Yue patted Feng Shengfa on the shoulder, and said in a low tone, "Commander Feng, the Military Commission only cares about the capture and prisoners of the 5th Pei, and the Chinese people also only see the glory of the 5th Pei completing the blow of Zuihou, but I know that the reason why the first battle of Wanjialing was able to severely damage the 10th Pei Regiment of small Japan, your 58th Division should take the first credit." ”

"Thank you." Feng Shengfa's expression was still indifferent, and the senior officers next to him, such as He Lingxiao and Yang Shaoren, pursed their lips with disdain, there was no practicality, and they wanted to send the 58th Division away with a few words, but they didn't take the brothers of the 58th Division seriously, did they really treat us as three-year-old children?

As if he had guessed the voices of several senior officers, Xue Yue nodded vigorously and said word by word: "Don't worry, I, Xue Yue, will give you an explanation to the 58th Division, this time the Soviet-style equipment and soldiers allocated by the Military Commission, the 58th Division will be given priority to replenish, and your 58th Division will be replenished, and then the 5th."

There is another sentence that Xue Yue did not say, he planned to ask the Military Commission and Chairman Jiang directly for the 74th Army, and planned to keep the 74th Army in the L Corps as a reserve army

(Dividing Line)

However, Xue Yue's plan was destined to fail, because Chairman Jiang also had the same mind.

At this time, Chairman Chiang had already arrived in Chongqing, and although the affairs were complicated and everything had to be painstaking, Chairman Chiang still took time to convene a few of his confidants to discuss the whereabouts of the 74th Army

The thoughts of several confidants and aides immediately came to life, and Chairman Chiang's thoughts were already very clear, he planned to withdraw the 74th Army from the Xue Yue Corps and change it into a strategic reserve army directly under the Central Military Commission

Originally, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government did not have a strategic reserve force directly under its jurisdiction, and the combat units at all levels of the Nationalist Army rarely left reserves, but after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, military commanders at all levels became more and more aware of the importance of reserves, so Chairman Chiang also wanted to transfer several elite troops to form a strategic reserve army directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission.

However, these henchmen still failed to fully grasp Chairman Chiang's intentions, and Chairman Chiang not only planned to transfer the 74th Army from Xue Yue's L Corps, but also planned to incorporate Shi Zhongcheng's 57th Division, which was known for its good warfare, into the 74th Army, so as to strengthen the 74th Army into a type A strategic army with three elite divisions under its jurisdiction.

Shi Zhongcheng's 57th Division was adapted from the 55th Division of the Anhui warlord Chen Tiaoyuan's department, and belonged to the Zhilu military system.

Among the various factions of the Beiyang Army, the combat effectiveness of the Zhilu Army has always been relatively strong, Chen Tiaoyuan has always followed behind Chairman Chiang from the beginning of the Central Plains War, which can be described as loyal and hard-working, but miscellaneous cards are miscellaneous cards, and in the end, Chen Tiaoyuan's troops were also tragically divided and disintegrated by Chairman Chiang, and were absorbed, speaking of which, the 57th Division is a local unit that joined the Central Army sequence earlier, and it has accepted a deeper degree of reorganization and is better equipped, and the 57th Division is still a type B division of two brigades and six regiments, and most of the brigade and regiment-level officers are from the Baoding Military Academy. The military literacy is good, so the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

On the middle front of the Battle of Wuhan, Li Pinxian's 3rd Corps was defeated like a mountain, and more than 100,000 troops of more than a dozen divisions of the eight armies were beaten by the small Japanese Dipei Regiment to lose their armor, and only Shi Zhongcheng's 57th Division fought an iron backbone in Wuxue, which can be said to be the only bright spot in the middle of the Wuhan Battle, so Chairman Chiang was deeply impressed by the 57th Division.

Chairman Chiang made up his mind, and the reorganization plan for the 74th Army was quickly finalized.
