Hearing that it was Chief Wei who called back, Zheng Weiguo knew that there must be something important, so he hurriedly said to Brigade Commander Chen: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, brother is in a hurry to take a step ahead!" ”

Brigadier Chen was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, don't forget what you just said!" ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Don't worry! As he spoke, he mounted the communicator's horse and hurried to the headquarters. As soon as I walked into the war room, I found that there were already many officers here, and it was estimated that they were summoned by Chief of Staff Zhou.

When the adjutant saw Zheng Weiguo arrive, he hurriedly shouted: "The division seat has arrived!" ”

The officers stood up with a bang, raised their heads with their chests straight, and their movements were uniform, looking very imposing. Even Professor Yang and several other military bigwigs have to stand quite neatly. It seems that after this battle, Zheng Weiguo's authority was erected.

"Sit down! Chief of Staff, how did the General Seat reply? Zheng Weiguo asked while motioning for his subordinates to sit down.

Chief of Staff Zhou handed over the telegram with both hands and said: "Division, the general seat is very happy, saying that it has already contacted the commission through a secret telegram, and asks us to take good care of this trophy without the slightest damage!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Is it so heavy? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Why is it not important? After hearing this, the commissioner personally gave instructions, demanding strict secrecy, and demanding that the spoils of war be sent to Wuhan at all costs. As he spoke, he whispered in his ear: "The Air Force has been sent to Luoyang to respond!" Director Dai also arrived in Luoyang ahead of schedule! ”

Zheng Weiguo said happily: "Okay! Good! Good! Since it is so important, did the commissioner say that there is any reward? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Yes! The commission personally gave instructions, in view of the fact that you have repeatedly made miraculous achievements. A medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun is specially awarded as a reward! ”

Zheng Weiguo said a little depressedly: "Cough, I already have two of these toys!" Are you going to send me all three together? ”

After the victory of Dongyang Pass, he got one, but he didn't have time to get it, so he went to Taiyuan to fight a battle, got another one, and then went to northern Shaanxi. When he returned, Chairman Chiang convened a military meeting in Luoyang, and at the same time asked Zheng Weiguo to be honored.

Zheng Weiguo originally went there, but he didn't expect Hou Ruyong's four detachments to suddenly make trouble. For the sake of the safety of the base area, he had to ask for leave to return early.

It is said that the chairman of the committee also lost his temper over this. thinks that Zheng Weiguo is pampered and arrogant. There is no commander. The Zhongzheng Sword that was originally going to be given to him was also taken back after the last time. However, the two Blue Sky and White Sun Medals still let Chief Wei help collect them. It's just that this time is too chaotic, and all lines are not safe, so they are still stored in the Wei Chief's place for the time being.

Li Dazhuang interjected. "Yes." The chairman of the committee is too slammed. What can this play do? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou didn't argue, he smiled and said, "There's more!" The commission said. We will be awarded the Flying Tiger Banner and the title of Tiger Fighting Sheep Division! ”

Director Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This name is fierce!" Who took it? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Speaking of which, it has something to do with the division!" "On the way to escort Wei Lihuang to northern Shaanxi, Chief Wei said that you are so capable of fighting, how about helping you win the title of a tiger master. Zheng Weiguo pouted and said that it is better to call the tiger to fight the sheep!

This was originally a joke, because the Tiger Fighting Division was the title of the 135th Division of the Northeast Field Army, but I didn't expect Chief Wei to really report it.

Listening to what Chief of Staff Zhou said, everyone was happy. Director Xiong said: "No wonder it sounds familiar, it turns out that the root is here!" ”

Zheng Weiguo's eyes widened and he said, "What are you laughing at?" Don't you think it sounds good? ”

The officers hurriedly laughed and said, "Where can it!" "There are also people who propose that the logistics should make an armband with a tiger and a sheep to affix it, so as to publicize the prestige of the troops.

Zheng Weiguo shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be in a hurry first, let's talk about it later!" "First, the Anti-Japanese War has not yet passed the most difficult period, and material resources cannot be abused, and second, it is not enough to make the signs so obvious. In the fight of war all day long, the base areas should not be engaged in construction.

Then he asked the chief of staff, "These things are the icing on the cake, is there anything real?" The medal also has significance for the armed forces behind enemy lines, but it is far from being practical for guns and ammunition, so Zheng Weiguo hopes to exchange it for some "dry goods".

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Yes! See for yourself! ”

Several troop commanders immediately stretched their necks and came over, and Zheng Weiguo hurriedly stretched out his hand to block them. If you want a few of them to know the truth, they will definitely be entangled every day, and they will be annoyed to death when the time comes. In view of the previous lessons, Zheng Weiguo decided to keep them secret for the time being, and besides, it was necessary to stock up on a batch of arms.

After looking at it for a while, Zheng Weiguo felt very satisfied and said: "Okay, it's rare to be so generous, and it's not in vain that more than 10,000 of our soldiers fought bloodily!" Chief of Staff, you are responsible for arranging this matter, and send this trophy away as soon as possible! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Can the special service battalion be used?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Yes!" As long as it is to ensure the safety of the booty, any unit can be drawn. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said happily: "Yes, division!" Now it's all right! ”

Zheng Weiguo also talked about the celebration and commendation meeting and the distribution of seized materials that Brigade Commander Chen said before, and said: "It is inconvenient for me to come forward with these two things. Professor Yang was invited to discuss the celebration of the commendation meeting, and the chief of staff coordinated the distribution of the seizures. ”

Professor Yang pushed his glasses and said busily: "Yes, teacher!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Then there is Professor Lao!" What about the Chief of Staff? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "How to grasp the scale, please also ask the division to show me." ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "This should be beneficial to me, but it can't make people feel at a loss!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "This, you have a problem for the humble position!" ”

Zheng Weiguo waved his hand and said, "This is actually not difficult. There is a big difference between our 33rd Division and the 129th Division, and this difference is destined to have different needs between us. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was convinced when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I've been taught!" Well, I'll get this done. Please rest assured! ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, you have other things to discuss here, right?" "There are so many officers here, it definitely won't be for the incident just now, it should just be a coincidence.

Chief of Staff Zhou said, "Yes, Shizao." The main reason is that in recent days, there have been many battle losses among grassroots officers, and many posts need important arrangements. I discussed it with Professor Yang, and then I invited all the ministers and Zhuge Liang from the headquarters to discuss the aftermath. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Oh, then you guys go on, I'll go to the play!" "This kind of discussion is the most headache. Zheng Weiguo signed the letter of appointment. Generally, there is never interference in the appointment of junior officers. Of course, this is also to enhance the prestige of Chief of Staff Zhou and Professor Yang and others.

The officers laughed and said, "Don't pretend!" The play has been played for a long time, are you going to the river to see the girl? ”

Zheng Weiguo's face turned red and said angrily: "Who said that? "The officers were busy sitting down. One by one, they look at each other. Nasal contemplation of the heart. As if nothing had been heard. Zheng Weiguo snorted and raised his foot to go out, only to be followed by another burst of laughter.

The celebration of the victory and commendation meeting of the anti-encirclement and suppression in southeast Shanxi was soon held. The main purpose is to commend the advanced and promote the spirit of the War of Resistance. The meeting was chaired by Professor Yang himself, and almost all the officers and men of the two armies attended as observers.

At the meeting, the other side shouted "Welcome to the heroic and combative 33rd Division", and this side replied "Learn from the hard-working Eighth Route Army"; There was a shout "Salute to the exemplary 33rd Division troops", and here they replied "Salute to the heroic anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians".

Everyone joined hands and stood shoulder to shoulder, visiting, exchanging experiences, listening to reports, and watching performances...... It's a lot of fun. The atmosphere was indeed much more lively than before, and the officers and men of the two armies got along more harmoniously.

At the end, there is another highlight, which is to commend the troops participating in the war. For example, the reconnaissance company of the 332nd Regiment was awarded the collective first-class merit by the East Route Army Headquarters, and a pennant was awarded, and the Guanjiayuan Hero Company was written!

In addition to the collective honors of each company, there are also individual commendations, such as Wang Dazhui, Liu Ertang, Zhang Gensheng and others were rated as special meritorious heroes, and according to meritorious service, there are also first, second, and third class meritorious heroes and individual meritorious service awards. Zheng Weiguo also did some in the past, but it was not systematic, and later there were frequent wars, and he was really too busy to wear many hats.

Occupying the podium, the fighters felt that they had never been so glorious, and they were all happy. The companies and individuals who were awarded the medals were majestic and high-spirited, and they were all vigorous when they walked.

In addition to the commendations received by the ministries involved in the war, there were also local guerrillas and militias who were awarded honorary titles. After the Japanese army fled in Heshun, many officers and soldiers fled into the mountains. The local militia, with the support of the main force, began to beat the water dogs, and as a result, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they really captured many of them alive.

Zheng Weiguo was very surprised and said: "There are also heroes in the militia!" ”

Master Liu smiled: "That's nature!" Please come to the rostrum and let Master Zheng take a good look at the heroes on the ground in the southeast of Jinjin! ”

More than a dozen heroes walked up to the stage a little shyly, and at first glance they were not in the ranks. Zheng Weiguo asked curiously, "Who among you has caught the most devils?" ”

Seeing that they were embarrassed to say, Master Liu pointed to one of the strong young men with a white towel and said, "That's it, it's called Chen Ronggui." He led the villagers to capture a total of seven devils alive! ”

Zheng Weiguo saw that this young man was tiger-headed, calm and calm, and said happily: "Sure enough, he is a good soldier!" No wonder he was able to make such a great achievement! Hey, where do I think I've heard your name? Chen Zhuangshi, where are you from? ”

Chen Zhuangshi smiled honestly and said, "I am from Dazhai Village, Xiyang County, and I haven't been far away, so the chief must have admitted his mistake." ”

As soon as he heard Dazhai Village, Zheng Weiguo's mind suddenly flashed a big man who was famous in later generations, and he thought to himself, could it be him? If so, should you recruit them?

When Master Liu saw that everyone was gone, Zheng Weiguo was still in a daze, and said with a smile: "What, Master Zheng is moved by his love for talents?" It's a pity, this guy is very stubborn, saying that the only son in the family refuses to be a soldier, otherwise I would have been recruited. ”

Zheng Weiguo pretended to be very casual and asked, "Oh, what is the situation at his family?" ”

Master Liu sighed, shook his head and said, "Oh, it's miserable!" Generations of poor people fled the famine at the age of five, and their mother, sister, and younger brother were all sold. His father owed Yinzi money and couldn't pay it back, so he hanged himself in despair! Now he is the only one left in their family. ”

Zheng Weiguo secretly thought that it must be that person, so he hurriedly stopped the young man, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhuangshi, are you interested in doing it with me?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
