Chapter 182: A Woman's Arrogance

The newly built small airport in Jinzhai is heavily guarded at this time, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. The military and political officials led by Bai Chongxi all stood at the airport, staring at the sky. The first lady's visit to the front line to express condolences to the troops was a great morale boost, and reporters from all walks of life gathered in Jinzhai also came.

The Ye family's great victory made everyone excited, and they stared at the petite figure standing inconspicuously among the many generals. The different military uniform is still very prominent. This is probably the person who cares most about the entire journalist except for the first lady.

The reporter who specializes in inquiring about the news is, of course, a well-informed person, and Song Xilian intends to publicize it, so that Xue Ru's name will once again appear on the front lines of the newspaper. With such a big victory in Ye Jiaji, the entire battle plan and tactical command actually came from her, and the name of the snow fox became the hottest topic.

Snow Fox Xue Ru's every action is so attractive, a few days ago it was reported that the Snow Fox Corps has conquered Lujiang, Wuwei, and Tongcheng counties, and today there is the original Snow Fox Corps divided troops, the 45th Independent Brigade to conquer Huoshan, it can be said that the name of the Snow Fox has spread all over the world, and it shocked the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border area. Such a person certainly attracted the attention of reporters, but today the first lady arrived, and Xue Ru became the second character. Journalists were kept out of the distance, and only a few special reporters could get ahead.

Holding the camera and flashing continuously, puffs of white smoke came out, and Song Xilian whispered: "Little fox, you are about to steal the limelight from Madame." ”

Xue Ru glared at him: "I said you can't be serious, a lieutenant general, a little fox with an open mouth, a little fox with a closed mouth, what are you?" Big bad wolf? With a treacherous face, don't make an impact on me, but I've heard those rumors, be careful that I settle accounts with you. ”

Song Xilian smiled, he didn't care, his wife was very sensible, and she didn't have too deep feelings, it was just a combination of interests. The professors and scholars at Tsinghua University have little in common with themselves. Although Song Xilian is not a man of five big and three coarse, in the eyes of his wife, he is also a martial artist, and he is out on the battlefield and rarely goes home.

If people like Xue Ru don't like it, it's impossible. But Xue Ru's attitude is also very resolute, and claims that he has a boyfriend, who is the person in the snow fox. Who is it, of course Song Xilian also knows, he is a dignified military commander, and if he wants to know some news, it is not easy? I've seen Xiao Yong before, but I'm not impressed. Isn't it just a little younger? I heard that it was a lieutenant colonel, a deputy captain.

can be promoted to the position of army commander, is Song Xilian a brainless person? Of course, he would not jeopardize his career and future for the sake of his children's personal affairs, so he maintained this very close friend relationship with Xue Ru.

Maybe it's because they're friends, and they talk casually, but to outsiders, it's different. The two of them spoke in a low voice, and Feng Zhi'an and Yu Xuezhong, who were standing not far away, had a wicked smile on their faces.

The three armies were temporarily organized into the 34th Group Army, Song Xilian was the commander of the group army, and Ye Jiaji's great victory was a troop drawn by three people, and of course the credit belonged to everyone. Therefore, Mrs. came, and Feng Zhi'an and Yu Xuezhong also came to greet them.

While these people were talking in a low voice, there was the roar of airplanes in the sky, Japanese planes often appeared, and the first lady was escorted by only four fighter planes in broad daylight, and she came to the front line in person, and this courage was also admirable.

The plane landed, five planes, no transport planes, all fighter jets, seeing Song Meiling coming out of the cockpit of the fighter jet, Xue Ru couldn't help but admire, being able to become a celebrity has its own merits, and there is no success in vain in the world.

At the beginning, he was able to resolutely marry Chiang Kai-shek despite the opposition of his family, and his heart, mind and vision were extraordinary. When I was fighting in Shanghai, I heard that Song Meiling's car was blown up and her ribs were broken, but she still endured the pain and completed the pre-battle inspection.

At this time, the war in Wuhan was already very fierce, and it was really unusual to fly to Dabie Mountain regardless of the danger. In the past, Xue Ru was only excited because of celebrities, but at this moment, she really admired it, after all, they were all women.

Among these people, she has a low rank, so she is not at the top. Because this time it was by name, otherwise, it might not be her turn to come as a small colonel.

There were not a few of these major generals present, most of them were lieutenant generals, and then they were local officials and politicians in Anhui Province, and Xue Ru was also very wise and did not come forward.

In the eyes of others, Xue Ru has never seen a big scene after all, and in the face of this kind of formation and the first lady, she has a little inferiority, so she doesn't dare to move forward. At this time, no one was humble to anyone, even if he said a word to the first lady, it would be an honor, on the contrary, Xue Ru fell behind.

In the eyes of others, Xue Ru has low self-esteem and has never seen the world, but who knows that she is arrogant. No matter how excited he is, no matter how much he admires it, Xue Ru is a person from decades later, and his thinking ability is far beyond this era. Even if it's Chiang Kai-shek, do you know more? Do you have your own thorough understanding of the battlefield against Japan, the world pattern, and the future political trend?

This traverser's pride makes her not stammer, nor flatter, nor please. In fact, from the bottom of her bones, Xue Ru believes in one thing, that is, she doesn't want to, if she wants, these honorary positions are nothing at all.

Just like this time, Song Xilian and they achieved such a big victory, and Xue Ru became an unsung hero. Because it was the 71st Army and the 51st Army that were fighting, there was nothing to do with Snow Fox, and the capture of Huoshan was also an independent 45th Brigade, which had nothing to do with Xue Ru, and I was worried that she would be unhappy. Song Xilian, Feng Zhi'an, and Yu Xuezhong studied and reported the details, saying that the plan and command were completed by Xue Ru. In fact, the 20,000 attacking troops fought without command and did not need to be commanded at all. The key point is that there are more than 10,000 casualties, and she can't eat in distress, how can she still be proud?

Song Xilian asked her to follow to inspect the battlefield, but Xue Ru didn't dare to go, it was a battlefield of more than 40,000 dead corpses. Because there were tens of thousands of corpses of Chinese troops, it was Xue Ru who sent them up, but when they went to the battlefield, they knew that they might not be able to come back.

All this requires a tenacious heart, a cold-blooded mentality, and a great wisdom mind. It's a pity that she can't do it, and she understands in her heart that she will succeed in ten thousand bones, but she really has to treat it normally, it's difficult!

Song Meiling got off the plane, walking in the footsteps of her standard noblewoman, her demeanor and demeanor were not reduced at all, she couldn't see that she was on a fighter plane, and she couldn't see a little worry, and immediately won the admiration of these military and political personnel, the soldiers saluted, and the officials hugged their fists.

After a period of cold noise, like the stars holding the moon, he entered the Jinzhai Fifth Theater Headquarters surrounded by everyone, listened to Bai Chongxi's report, and met with people from all walks of life.

Song Meiling came to comfort Song Xilian this time, after all, Ye Jiaji's victory, the honor was given to Bai Chongxi, Song Xilian's 34th Group Army, one is under Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army, and the other is under Zhang Xueliang of the Northeast Army, of course, I don't want the Gui Department to draw them over, this time I can fight side by side with the 71st Army, it is a good start.

Song Meiling unleashed her charm and political skills, and after talking with Bai Chongxi, she continued to visit various units and meet with middle and lower-level commanders. has been busy for several days, and today finally met Song Xilian alone, which is Song Meiling's purpose.

Seeing Song Xilian saluting, Song Meiling showed a kind smile on her face: "Yin Guo, what's polite, you are all students who are on the bench, and I can be regarded as your master, sit down and talk." ”

"Mrs. Xie" Song Xilian sat down, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He knew this lady, he never spoke loudly, and he was so dissatisfied that you couldn't see it, and he always looked like he was calm and breezy. But if you look down on her, I'm afraid it will end badly.

He is cautious, smart-minded, calm, and able to analyze problems reasonably, and is by no means like an ordinary woman, who is the chairman's right-hand man, and whose diplomatic skills are much more powerful than the chairman.

Song Meiling had a look of regret on her face: "Yin Guo, I know that I have wronged you this time, but I can't help but do this, the government needs centripetal force and unity to fight against Japan, so it has to be like this." Therefore, I have come here on purpose, and if you have any requests, I can say yes in lieu of the commission. ”

Whether it is a soldier or an ordinary person, it does not have to be beneficial, and an understanding is more important than anything else. The chairman and his wife can think so, and Song Xilian feels that everything is worth it. Said a little excitedly: "Thank you and Mrs., Xilian is only loyal to the party-state, not for personal interests, I understand the difficulties of the commission, and I don't want anything but gratitude." ”

"That's good" Song Meiling said: "The commission is to know that you understand the righteousness, but you can't help but say, you see that this Ye family's great victory is a joint operation of the three armies, what do you think should be done, I will explain when I come, consider putting the three armies together, and you will command it, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Of course, Song Xilian wanted to do this, the 34th Group Army was only an arrangement for a temporary theater of operations, and he was also a temporary commander-in-chief, so of course it would be best to do so. also said: "I have no opinion, everything is arranged by the commission, I will definitely serve the country and kill the enemy, and I will live up to the trust of the commission, but I am just ......"

Of course, Song Meiling knew that Song Xilian would not object, and the credit was not publicized, but wouldn't it be the same to give him a promotion? He asked, "Just what?" If you have something to say, say it. ”

Song Xilian said: "Madam, this credit is actually not mine, it is Xue Ru's, without her, there would be no Ye Jiaji's victory." But the government seems to have forgotten about this matter, and Chief Bai did not report it. ”

Song Xilian said this, Song Meiling remembered that since Nanjing, she wanted to meet this legendary little girl, but in the past few days, she has met with officers, discussed the war with Bai Chongxi, and also met with local celebrities in Anhui Province, and visited the people in the Anti-Japanese War Zone. Hurriedly said: "Where is she?" Let her come, I've wanted to meet her. ”

After receiving his wife that day, Song Xilian didn't see Xue Ru for several days. Of course, the first lady's reception is in order, and it is also according to rank, Xue Ru, a colonel, will not be arranged except for a special roll call.

The dissatisfaction with Xue Ru also made Bai Chongxi not report, but only issued an order in the name of the theater of operations, and the Snow Fox Corps was coordinated by the 45th Brigade to attack Qianshan Taihu Lake, cut off the retreat of the 6th Division, and assist in the defense of Tianjiazhen direction.

Song Xilian didn't see Xue Ru again, so she said: "She also went to the airport to meet you, probably the position is too low." ”

Song Meiling said: "This is my negligence, and the chairman specially let me see her." The little girl is not very old, from Shanghai and Nanjing to Jiangbei Huizhong, she is a party and state talent, you inform her to come, I will see her in the evening. ”

"Yes" Song Xilian immediately agreed, and talked to Song Meiling about his thoughts again, hoping to tell the chairman that in fact, it was more of a plan for Xue Ru and Song Xilian to study.

The "report" attendant officer came in: "Madam, Commander Song has come to report that Xue Ru has left Jinzhai and returned to the front line of the army two days ago. ”

Song Meiling was stunned for a moment, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, such an arrogant girl. She is already smart, how could she not have imagined that she is the first lady and a general in the army, and Xue Ru is also a woman, so she can have this result and ability, since she came to greet her, how could she not want to meet her?

What Song Xilian said yesterday, Song Meiling thought that Xue Ru must have asked Song Xilian to say it, this is a close road, I heard that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, so she gave Song Xilian face and promised to meet her at night. Although I also want to meet, I don't have to see it, the difference between the identities of the two people is too far.

But Xue Ru said goodbye without saying goodbye, and didn't take herself as the first lady in her eyes at all, she was too arrogant. Xue Ru's actions since she became famous all reveal her powerful arrogance, if she ignores it, she will also leave a handle if she has the meaning of snubbing the great achievements of the talented.

Song Xilian thought about Xue Ru wholeheartedly, and I heard that it was Xue Yue's niece again, this time in the battle of Wuhan, the only outstanding ones were their uncles and nephews, a Wan Jialing, and a Ye Jiaji, who said goodbye to Xue Ru's arrogance, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she was not one of those jealous little women, so she said: "Inform Commander Song, send someone to inform Commander Xue Ru to come to Jinzhai." ”

Song Meiling thinks that this is a personal summons, enough to give face, right? can also let others see, which is the importance of Xue Ru. But early the next morning, I received a telegram from Xue Ru that the Snow Fox Corps was fighting against the Japanese army and had no time. This made Song Meiling's face gloomy, she walked around the house a few times, and suddenly stopped and said, "Prepare the car, I'll go to Tongcheng." ”

This time the attendant officer is scared, that is the real front line, Madame goes to Tongcheng, so can it be repaid? But he didn't dare to stop it, so he hurriedly agreed and sent someone to inform Bai Chongxi and Song Xilian that he wanted to stop his wife from going.

Wang Rinian, who has been following Song Meiling's side, is an attendant and an attaché of Chiang Kai-shek. This time, because of Song Meiling's special mission, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to follow, and he was the only person in the attaché who could talk to Song Meiling: "Madam, I think you should not go, it is too dangerous there, and you must be on the front line in person." In case, the party-state cannot afford to lose. ”

Song Meiling sneered: "The little girl is giving me a problem, am I the one who loses to her?" ”

Wang Rizhang was a little strange, obviously Xue Ru was arrogant, because Mrs. didn't summon her at the first time, and left in a bad mood, how did it become a problem for Mrs.?

Song Meiling is also an arrogant person in her bones, she does not understand military affairs, but in order to better lead the Air Force, she is in her forties, and she began to learn the knowledge of the Air Force, and in terms of mastering aircraft and Air Force operations, she is no worse than a real Air Force general, and even General Chennault is full of praise. The army itself really doesn't understand, Xue Ru is famous, and even some high-ranking generals admire it, and low-level officers are worshipped.

All this aroused Song Meiling's competitive spirit, what about the front line, Xue Ru can command the battle on the front line, doesn't he even dare to go? How can that convince her.

Song Meiling is not a person who fights for will, but Xue Ru has a special identity, that is, she is a woman, and her character of not admitting defeat made her decide to go to Tongcheng in person to meet the snow fox corps who is famous in Hubei and Yuxuan, and see what kind of person this snow fox Xue Ru with the title of fox spirit is.

Xue Ru, who returned to Tongcheng from Jinzhai, really didn't think so, after waiting for two days without Song Meiling's order to see her, Xue Ru smiled, and really regarded herself as a character, but a colonel captain, I'm afraid he wasn't in the eyes of others, so he decided to do his own thing. A few steps in the early stage have been reached, just as Bai Chongxi's order was issued, since there is no hope of solving other Japanese troops, it can't be cheapened by the 6th Division.

Now the 45th Brigade is also under her own command, and no matter whether the 71st Army has or not, she will not delay her own elimination of the devils, so she returned to Tongcheng the next day.
