After Huang Zheng was transferred to the headquarters as an operational staff officer, Zhang Zizhong has been deliberately observing him. He showed a standard military quality and life style in terms of military quality, which made Zhang Zizhong look up to him with admiration.

In a battle not long ago, the headquarters of the group army encountered the enemy, and a Japanese brigade accidentally broke into the rear of our headquarters and approached the headquarters of the group army. At this time, Huang Zheng, who was conducting a field survey outside, immediately led his subordinates to take advantage of the favorable terrain to set up an ambush on the spot, and sent someone to notify the headquarters to transfer, and the headquarters immediately mobilized reinforcements.

More than an hour later, a reinforced regiment stationed nearby arrived and joined the headquarters guard battalion to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, and only then did they save the day.

After this incident, Zhang Zizhong wrote Huang Zheng's name on the list of officers who applied for commendations that quarter. This is the origin of the list of applicants that Huang Ke saw later.

Huang Ke was a little surprised at first when he saw that Huang Zheng's name was included in the list of officers who applied for commendations, but after asking carefully, he learned that it was submitted by General Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 32nd Group Army.

For this anti-Japanese hero, Huang Ke naturally trusts his character, and believes that he will not deliberately send Huang Zheng to this list for the sake of flattery, but it has only been more than a month to ask Huang Zheng for credit, and he is not a front-line combat unit, just a confidential combat staff officer of the headquarters.

For these doubts, Huang Ke has always been puzzled.

Could it be that he made a mistake in judging Zhang Zizhong? No, he firmly believes that a person who puts life and death aside will not value this petty profit on red tape.

But what could be the reason?

Huang Ke couldn't figure it out, so he called Fourteen Tsai and decided to let Fourteen Tsai investigate the matter.

The reason why he didn't let his secretary Chen Liewen investigate this matter is that Chen Liewen has too many official duties to deal with as a secretary, and secondly, Huang Zheng grew up watching Fourteen Tsai, and he also cares a little about this child, so it is more appropriate for him to investigate.

There is a more favorable condition for Fourteen Tsai to investigate these things, he is an old man during the Great Revolution, and his network of relationships in the army is complicated, which is naturally not comparable to the No. 1 secretary like Chen Liewen.

After receiving the order, Fourteen Tsai's phone call went directly to an old subordinate in the North China Theater. This old subordinate used to serve in the guard regiment of the Ministry of National Defense, and was a soldier under the 14th boy, and was transferred to the North China Theater Command as the head of the security bureau before the Japanese invasion of China.

After Fourteen Tsai found him, he didn't hide it, and talked about his purpose straight to the point.

After hearing this, the other party said seriously: "Old sir, it's really not General Zhang's intention to be partial. I heard that not so long ago, a brigade of the Japanese army somehow touched the area around the headquarters of the 32nd Army. If you think about it, the headquarters has the strength of a guard battalion under its command, and most of the troops are scattered around. At this time, it was Huang Zheng who led dozens of officers from the staff to decisively block the terrain in the steep terrain to buy time for reinforcements. Dozens of officers dared to stop a brigade of the Japanese army, and to be honest, I didn't dare to do this kind of thing. It is enough to show that our son not only has strategy, but also courage. I see, there is no moisture at all in this work. ”

After listening to the old subordinate, Fourteen Tsai had a plan in his heart, he thanked him, and hung up the phone after a few words of greeting with the other party. Immediately afterwards, Fourteen Tsai sent someone to inquire again, and after confirming that the news was no different, he reported to Huang Ke what happened.

After Huang Ke listened to Fourteen Tsai's report, a relieved smile appeared on his originally calm face. It seems that Huang Zheng is doing a good job, he always thought that this Huang Zheng's personality was too impulsive, but now it seems that he has almost honed his temper.

When he thought of Huang Zheng, Huang Ke couldn't help but think of Huang Zhengzhong.

Not long ago, Su Hui set off from Nanjing to return to Manila. After returning to Manila, Su Hui decided to go to the United States to appeal to more people to China's war of resistance.

Huang Ke personally instructed her, arranged her itinerary, and specially approved the plane to send Su Hui out of the city.

When Su Hui left, she had already roughly guessed Huang Zhengzhong's identity. However, she didn't make it clear, she knew that Huang Zhengzhong must have concealed it for various reasons, since he was unwilling to explain, why did he bother to tell it?

Huang Ke wanted to let him continue to go to the United States to complete the rest of his studies, but this kid was disobedient and said that he wanted to stay in Nanjing together. Staying in Nanjing? Huang Ke didn't know if Nanjing could be defended? As the leader of a country, he naturally can't run away, but the child doesn't have this responsibility.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, Huang Ke soon issued an order to defend the city, and all officials and generals' families were not allowed to be transferred, including himself, of course. This means that Huang Zhengzhong will never be able to leave Nanjing before the victory of the war.

Huang Zhengzhong was still young, so naturally he couldn't carry a gun and serve as a soldier like his brother, so Huang Ke had to find Central University and send him there to continue his studies.

Before the defense of the war, although most of the colleges and universities were transferred, there were still some people in Nanjing who were reluctant to transfer. A group of teachers and students from National Central University stayed on and continued to stick to it. They go to class every day at their normal schedule, but sometimes classes are interrupted by air strikes.

Huang Zhengzhong knew that there was nowhere else to go, so he had to follow his father's instructions and went to Central University to become a transfer student.

The day before Su Hui left, she said that she was going to find the statement together, and the three of them went to have a meal together.

Huang Zhengzhong agreed, and the statement was also one of the few friends in his country, because the statement was busy after being transferred back to the security bureau, so he didn't have much contact.

This time, it is also a good choice to be able to get together with the help of the reason to say goodbye to Su Hui.

After Huang Zhengzhong returned home, he called the Security Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, and to his surprise, the other party told Huang Zhengzhong that he had been transferred to the 88th Division on the front line three days earlier.

Transferred to a front-line combat unit? Although Huang Zhengzhong did not know much about the army, he had been exposed to it since he was a child, and naturally knew about these situations, and when the central-level security bureau was transferred to the combat unit, he either made a mistake or held an actual position on one side. The statement is only the rank of captain, it is clear that it will not be the latter, could it be that he made some mistake?

Huang Zhengzhong continued to inquire, but the other party was reluctant to say more.

In desperation, Huang Zhengzhong had no choice but to find Fourteen Tsai to inquire about what happened. Fourteen Tsai smiled after hearing his request and said, "I'm afraid I can't agree to your request now, he is doing a good job in the front-line troops now." ”

As for why he was transferred to the combat unit, Fourteen Tsai said with a smile: "It's not that we deliberately want to release people, it's that he himself asked to be transferred." "It turned out that after the Battle for Nanjing began, the Ministry of National Defense issued a relevant document calling on the officers and men of all units of the army to take the initiative to request to be transferred to the front-line units.

As a document issued by the Ministry of National Defense, the Security Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense naturally also has to convey the spirit of the document. However, if it weren't for being ostracized in the security bureau and doing something unpleasantly, who would be willing to apply to the front-line troops to squat in the trenches?

However, it still needs to be done, and after a while, some hot-blooded officers took the initiative to ask for help, ready to go to the front-line troops. According to the usual practice, the Political Department of the Security Bureau will conduct some exhortation talks with these officers who apply, and if they continue to insist on the exhortation after the conversation, they will generally agree to the application, after all, the Security Bureau cannot be too special, and someone must always follow the call of the superiors.

Of course, the Security Bureau will also make considerations, and applications with average performance will be approved, and those talents who have excellent performance in all aspects are reluctant to be sent to the front-line troops. After all, their own security work is also very heavy.

Among the many petitioners, statements are also one of them.

The superiors didn't want to let him go, because he performed well in all aspects, and he belonged to the key officers of the reserve training of the Security Bureau, but the statement was the same as eating *, and he was going to go to the front-line troops with a tendon.

He went to ask for instructions and report every day, in a word, even if he died, he would die in the front-line combat troops.

The officers of the Political Department who were involved in this matter were very puzzled, and they persuaded them with reason and emotion, why do you have a bright future in the Defense Security Bureau, and protecting the safety of the defense ministers is also contributing to the War of Resistance, but they still insisted on their own decision and did not have any intention of repenting.

In desperation, the Organization Department of the Security Bureau had no choice but to approve his request.

A few days later, he was transferred to the 88th Division on the front line and served as the captain and company commander of the special service company. There has been no change in military rank and position, but from the central to the local, it has obviously been reduced.

"This statement, I can't see that it's really flesh and blood." Fourteen shook his head helplessly.

"Do you know what unit he's in now? How can I reach him? Huang Zhengzhong continued to ask.

"Oh, he's in the 88th Division. However, that unit is now stationed in the Tangshan area, which belongs to the front line, and I am afraid it will not be easy for you to meet him. "Fourteen said.

Huang Zhengzhong said: "Forget it, I'll write to him when I go back." ”

Su Hui naturally didn't see the statement before leaving, and Huang Zhengzhong told him that the statement joined the army and went to the front line, so he didn't say goodbye to them because of time constraints. Su Hui expressed her understanding and left Nanjing by plane on the second day. After Su Hui left, Huang Zhengzhong also began to return to a regular life, going to Central University to continue his studies.

At this time, the Battle of Nanjing had begun, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops swept in from three sides.

The statement and the unit he is in are also going through a cruel test.
