In essence, Chairman Chiang was still very fond of talent, especially military talent

In this exercise, the 58th Division, which acted as the blue army, did not follow the rules and regulations, which was indeed a violation of the rules and regulations set by the exercise headquarters, but Chairman Chiang admired this style of commander from the bottom of his bones.

Will Chairman Jiang Weishenme never forget the division commanders from Whampoa in the communist army? For example, Xu Xiangqian, such as Lin Biao, was because they played with unbridled imagination in the anti-encirclement and suppression operations that year, so that the encirclement and suppression of the national army and the Sichuan army were repeatedly frustrated and suffered heavy losses.

In fact, the reason why these division commanders of the national army are dull and conservative in tactics in actual combat is completely due to the general climate in which there are many factions in the national army and everyone only wants to preserve their own strength, and has nothing to do with personal ability.

But Chairman Chiang will never and will never admit this.

At that moment, Chairman Chiang called Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi to him and said: "This exercise was very successful, and the commanders of both sides are very good, and I want to meet them."

Yu Jishi called Feng Shengfa to him again and asked, "Brother Shengfa, who is in command of this exercise?" ”

Feng Shengfa was about to say that Xu Nineteen was in command, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back into his stomach, Xu Nineteen's background has always been a big problem, once Chairman Jiang knew that there was such a "remnant" in the Nineteenth Route Army, and it also had a very high command ability, God knows what would happen.

As long as Xu 19 expressed his willingness to submit, Feng Shengfa believed that Chairman Chiang was still willing to reuse Xu 19, the question is, Xu 19 had a very negative impression of Chairman Chiang and the Kuomintang, would he bow to Chairman Chiang?

Feng Shengfa felt that there was a chance that Xu would not choose to bow his head.

At that moment, Feng Shengfa replied: "Commission, military, this exercise is commanded by Gao Shenxing. ”

He Lingxiao, deputy commander of the 58th Division, Yang Shaoren, chief of staff, and Zhu Qi, commander of the 18th Brigade, were stunned when they heard this, others didn't know that they knew, the commander of the Blue Army in this exercise was clearly Xu 19, why did the division say that it was Gao Shenxing? However, at this time, Feng Shengfa had completely established his prestige in the 58th Division, so no one stood up to demolish him.

"Gao Shenxing?" Yu Jishi nodded and ordered, "Let him hurry up to the headquarters and ask him to see him." ”

Feng Shengfa hurriedly ran to call the Blue Army Headquarters, and about half an hour later, Gao Shenxing and Red Army Commander Ma Weilong came to the exercise headquarters at the same time, but Ma Weilong looked a little embarrassed, the general on his body was dirty, there was a footprint of the boss on his buttocks, and there were obvious abrasions on his face.

"Ma Weilong." Chairman Jiang recognized Ma Weilong at a glance.

Ma Weilong hurriedly stood up and saluted Chairman Jiang meticulously: "Take a seat." ”

"Well, your performance in this exercise is very good, since you have the advantage in troops, you should fight steadily, and there is no problem with your tactics." Chairman Jiang shook hands with Ma Weilong, and then said, "However, your vigilance is still not enough, and in the future, when you go to the battlefield of resistance against Japan, don't let little Japan take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"Bench, humble ......" Ma Weilong opened his mouth to be argued, but Chairman Jiang said a good performance to him, and then turned his gaze to Gao Shenxing, who was standing on the right side of Ma Weilong, it was obvious that Chairman Jiang was more interested in Gao Shenxing, who was surprised and killed the Red Army Headquarters in one fell swoop, and Ma Weilong was actually just a companion.

"You're the commander of the Blues?" Chairman Jiang looked at Gao Shenxing with a smile and asked.

If it was when he was still in the Army University, Gao Shenxing would definitely be excited, but after experiencing the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and seeing many shady scenes of the National Army, Gao Shenxing's worship of Chairman Jiang in his heart has long been gone, and even the Zhongzheng Sword donated by Jiang Baili was thrown away by him.

"Take a seat." Gao Shenxing stood upright, and saluted a military salute without being arrogant or humble.

Chairman Jiang casually replied to the military salute, and suddenly said, "I seem to have seen you?" ”

I have to say that Chairman Jiang's memory is really amazing, after Gao Shenxing was admitted to the Army University and became the twelfth student of the regular class, Chairman Jiang, as the president of Lu University, gave lectures several times, and even took a group photo.

After thinking for a while, Chairman Jiang recalled and said, "You are a student of the 12th class of Lu University. ”

Gao Shenxing's face couldn't help but pass a trace of embarrassment, Chairman Jiang's words touched the hidden pain in his heart, at this time, the chief of the guard, Wang Shihe, stepped forward, attached to Chairman Jiang's ear and whispered a few words, Chairman Jiang quickly diverted the topic, held Gao Shenxing's right hand and said: "Haode, haode, gold will shine wherever it is." ”

Obviously, Wang Shihe had already told Chairman Jiang about Gao Shenxing's removal from Lu Da.

When he knew that Gao Shenxing was only a deputy captain and his military rank was only a major in the army, he immediately said to Gao Shenxing: "How is it, are you interested in coming to the General Staff of the Central Military Commission?" He turned back and asked Bai Chongxi, "Jiansheng, are you welcome in the General Staff?" ”

Of course, Bai Chongxi would not disobey Lao Jiang for no reason, and said with a smile at the moment: "Of course welcome." ”

None of the high-ranking officers of the Nationalist Army present were stunned, and when they came back to their senses, they were envious one by one, and everyone could see that Chairman Chiang had moved the idea of loving talents, and the transfer of the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission was obviously only a transition, and if he stayed in the Military Commission for a few months, he should have been a brigade commander if he was delegated to the least, and this was a promotion to the fifth rank in a row.

What's more, he also registered with the commission, and he will be the protégé of the Son of Heaven in the future, this kid is really lucky.

If Gao Shenxing performs well after being transferred to the General Staff of the Military Commission, let alone a brigade commander, it is also possible to be directly promoted to division commander; during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many senior generals who were promoted by leapfrogging because of their outstanding performance.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Gao Shenxing said: "Commissioned seats, I just want to stay in the combat unit." ”

The officers of the national army present were all stupid for a moment, didn't they, this kid's head was kicked by a donkey, and he actually refused the olive branch stretched out by the commission? Does he really dare?

Even Feng Sheng felt sorry for Gao Shenxing.

The expression on Chairman Jiang's face also had a moment of stiffness, but after all, Lao Jiang was not an ordinary person, his face quickly returned to normal, he patted Gao Shenxing on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Yes, yes, a real man, a real soldier, should stay in the combat unit and fight to the death with Little Japan, not stay in the rear."

Gao Shenxing raised his head and chested, slapped another military salute, and said, "Thank you for the commission." ”

Chairman Jiang smiled, turned back to everyone and said, "I'm a little tired, let's stop here today." ”

After that, Chairman Jiang turned around and walked away, He Yingqin snorted and walked out, and when he walked to the door of the tent, he suddenly stopped, turned around and scolded Gao Shenxing: "Sitting in a sedan chair and scolding people - I don't know how to lift."

The senior generals present left one after another, with different expressions, and soon only Feng Shengfa and Gao Shenxing were left in the tent, Feng Shengfa seemed to have something to say to Gao Shenxing, but Zuihou didn't say anything, just sighed, Gao Shenxing's heart was extremely calm, and he didn't regret the decision he made just now.

Gui Yongqing followed He Yingqin's car and said unrelentingly: "Boss, is this really the matter of the exercise?" ”

"What else can you do if you don't count?" He Yingqin said angrily, "That Ma Weilong is really, why is he so careless, he actually let a small unit of the 58th Division take his headquarters, hum"

"Who would have thought that?" Gui Yongqing said, "The 58th Division is completely chaotic." ”

"Okay, don't talk about it." He Yingqin said, "The results of the exercise have been decided, and they can't be changed." ”

"What about the equipment of the artillery battalion?" Gui Yongqing hurriedly said, "That 75mm caliber Krupp mountain cannon ......"

"Don't even think about that Krupp mountain cannon." He Yingqin said this, and said, "But you don't have to worry about the equipment of the artillery battalion, I will find a way for you."

Gui Yongqing stopped talking, but looking at his expression, this breath was really not light, and he hated Feng Shengfa and the 58th Division to the bone in his heart, in other words, he Gui Yongqing's face was really embarrassed in this exercise, and the most unacceptable thing for him was that he was still embarrassed in front of Chairman Jiang, which would seriously affect his future.

Seeing Gui Yongqing's uncertain expression, He Yingqin comforted him again: "Don't worry about it, isn't there a military parade in Huangpi tomorrow, let Li Liangrong and Li Ying perform well at the parade, and strive to suppress the arrogance of the 74th Army." ”

Gui Yongqing was silent and did not say a word, he had seen the military appearance of the 74th Army today, and Gui Yongqing was not as confident as before for tomorrow's Huangpi military parade.

When Gao Shenxing returned to the 19th Brigade station, Xu 19 also knew about Gao Shenxing's rejection of Lao Jiang.

"Caution, do you know you've missed a chance to pay homage?" Xu Jiu said with a smile, "If you promise Lao Jiang to go to the General Staff, you can be promoted to major general and brigade commander in less than half a year at most." ”

"What about becoming a major general and brigade commander?" Gao Shen said, "Isn't there a division commander, army commander, corps commander, commander-in-chief of the group army, plus the commander-in-chief of the theater of operations?" You still have to lose the battle that you deserve, you still have to bear the anger you deserve, and you still have to carry the black pot that you should carry. ”

Xu Jiu was stunned and said, "It seems that you are really disappointed in the national army." ”

Governor Gao Shen sighed and asked rhetorically, "Then do you think there is still hope for the national army?" ”

"Honestly, I don't know." Xu Shijiu shook his head and sighed, "But with the current situation, who else can China count on besides the national army?" ”
