The sudden sound of explosions on the position of his mortar squadron surprised Oda Ichiro Osa, who was supervising the battle, and after learning the news that the mortar squadron was under fire from Shina, almost all of them were shattered, Oda Ichiro was surprised and angry. He was surprised that yesterday he had obviously destroyed the mortar position of the China people, and how could the Shina people have so many mortars overnight; he was angry that his mortar squadron had been blown up, and not only had he lost the artillery fire on the China people, but it was also impossible to use smoke and fog bombs to cover the attack, which made Oda Ichiro feel a sense of madness.

The mortar positions of the Japanese army were demolished, and the pressure on the positions was greatly reduced, and Wei Dalin was also much happier because of the revenge of yesterday. Chen Quan even commanded the mortar platoon to continue to strike at the Japanese heavy machine gun positions and infantry, and suddenly there were continuous explosions in the Japanese heavy machine gun positions and infantry ranks. These shells knocked down the morale of the Japanese troops that had just been raised, and the Japanese attack could only end in retreat.

Now Oda Ichiro Osa is in a very bad situation, the last time he went to ask the division commander for tactical guidance, he had already understood the anger of the division commander, and now with the help of heavy artillery and aircraft, he still went to ask the division commander for help, he did not know if His Excellency the division commander would ask him to apologize when he was angry. But instead of asking for help from His Excellency the division commander, with the remaining more than 1,000 people in his hands and without the assistance of the mortar squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron, what could he do to capture the position of the opposing Chinese army?

Tang Renxin is dispatching troops here, preparing to teach the Japanese army a lesson, Longzhou City is calm, although when the Japanese army just landed in Qinzhou Bay, there was also a fluctuation in Longzhou City, but with the return of Wang Haitao and the news of the victory of the 90th Army, the current Longzhou City has returned to calm. Wang Haitao originally wanted to go to Zhengzuo City to personally command the battle, but the people from Chongqing were about to arrive in Longzhou City, and Wang Haitao could only stay in Longzhou City to receive the visitors.

The Chongqing side sent a condolence group headed by Wang Wenxuan, director of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs, with more than 20 people and a group of reporters accompanying them. The Chongqing side has shown that it attaches great importance to this trip to Longzhou, and although Wang Haitao is not interested in the Chongqing side, he still has to be cautious and must not leave some bad excuses for the Chongqing side.

In order to receive the people from Chongqing, Wang Haitao sent a guard battalion to the border between Guangxi and Guizhou provinces to meet them, and asked the commander of the guard battalion leading the team to send a telegram to Longzhou as soon as he received the visitors. Two days later, Wang Haitao received a report from the commander of the guard battalion that he had received a group of 26 people from Chongqing, escorted by a company of national troops.

After receiving the report, Wang Haitao was about to start preparations here, and it would take two days to arrive from the border of the two provinces to Longzhou City, and after Wang Haitao informed Tang Renli and Zhao Zhongwu, he was busy in the city and in the barracks. The condolence group of more than 20 people, eating, drinking, living and safety issues must be considered, Wang Haitao is not proficient in these things, but Tang Renli is familiar with this, and soon has an idea, and arranges it one by one.

Two days later, in the evening, Wang Haitao, Tang Renli, and Zhao Zhongwu wore military uniforms and took a guard company, waiting outside the north gate of Longzhou City. didn't wait long, the sound of a car engine came from the road in the distance, and after a while, Wang Haitao could already see the convoy on the road.

In front of them were two cars, and behind them were more than a dozen trucks lined up. Outside the north gate, the convoy stopped, and several people walked down from the car, the leader was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general of the national army, and several were wearing a blue tunic suit. The leader took the lead and walked towards Wang Haitao and them, and Wang Haitao and they also greeted them.

Wang Haitao is now the rank of general of the national army, and when the person who came approached, he first saluted a military salute, and Wang Haitao was also busy returning a military salute, when a man wearing a Mao suit next to him said: "Commander Wang, hello! I am a clerk of the General Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and my surname is Zheng." Let me introduce you to Lieutenant General Wang Wenxuan, director of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. ”

After listening to the introduction, Wang Haitao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "I am Wang Haitao, the commander of the Ninety Army, and welcome Director Wang to Longzhou City!" This Wang Wenxuan is about forty years old, of medium stature, and his fair face is not good-looking, but it is still neat. A lieutenant general's uniform is worn on his body, but he does not have much of the momentum of a soldier, in addition to the official authority of some superiors, there is also some bookishness.

Wang Wenxuan didn't hold it up, reached out and held Wang Haitao's outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "I have admired Wang Jun's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really a handsome man among people." It's better to see than to hear!" At this time, several reporters around the two had already surrounded them, flashing lights and cameras in their hands. Wang Haitao also smiled and said: "Director Wang has won the award, Director Wang can come to my small Longzhou City in person, Haitao is really fortunate to have three lives!"

Then Wang Haitao introduced Tang Renli and Zhao Zhongwu to Wang Wenxuan, and Wang Wenxuan also introduced several more important people in his entourage to Wang Haitao. After the introduction, Wang Haitao said: "Director Wang has come all the way, all the way hard, Haitao has prepared a banquet for Director Wang and his entourage, Director Wang please!" Wang Wenxuan was not polite, got in the car and followed Wang Haitao and them into Longzhou City.

Tang Renli had already chartered the second floor of Guangfu Building, and Wang Haitao's car had just been parked under Guangfu Building, and the shopkeeper greeted him. The four tables on the second floor have been set up, and after Wang Haitao led Wang Wenxuan and his entourage to the second embrace, everyone sat down as guests and hosts. After sitting down, Wang Haitao said: "Director Wang, you came to my Longzhou City in person, originally Chief of Staff Su Zuxin and Deputy Commander Tang Renxin of the 90th Army, as well as several division commanders under me, should come to greet Director Wang, but now Little Japan is attacking our 90th Army from two sides, they are all on the front line, and they can't come to Longzhou City for a while, and I hope Director Wang will not be surprised." ”

Wang Wenxuan hurriedly replied: "Commander Wang is polite, I have heard before I came here that the Japanese army is attacking your army, and naturally the war is important, how can I blame it for this? I just don't know how the war is going on on the front line?" Wang Haitao smiled and said: "There are only more than 50,000 people in the small Japan, and my 90th Army is not afraid, not long ago I have inflicted heavy losses on the 48th Division of the Japanese Army and annihilated more than 6,000 enemies. Now that I am making arrangements and preparing to inflict another heavy blow on the Japanese army, if Director Wang can stay in Longzhou City for a few more days, he should be able to hear the good news. ”

Wang Haitao's words Wang Wenxuan was suspicious, but several reporters at the other table were interested, and a woman stood up and said: "Commander Wang, I am a reporter from the Central Daily, my name is Li Li, may I ask Commander Wang, is what you said true? Did the 90th Army really inflict heavy losses on the 48th Division of the Japanese Army and annihilate more than 6,000 enemies?"

Wang Haitao glanced at the female reporter named Li Li, and said with a smile: "I, Wang Haitao, have never worried about reporting the results, since you are a reporter, can you go down to investigate it?" Seeing that she wanted to ask again, she continued: "However, today is a banquet for Director Wang and all of you, not a press conference. ”

Wang Haitao's words made everyone laugh, and Li Li sat down embarrassed. So the topic changed at the wine table, and everyone talked about the wind and snow. A wine banquet was drunk late, and Wang Haitao also had a good time with the visitors. The atmosphere at the banquet was very good, and everyone was familiar with a lot of wine. After the banquet, Wang Haitao asked his subordinates to send Wang Wenxuan and his entourage to the accommodation where they were packed, and arranged guards before leaving.

It wasn't until the third day that Wang Wenxuan and Wang Haitao discussed the award, and Wang Haitao also made arrangements according to Wang Wenxuan's requirements. Originally, Su Zuxin, Tang Renxin, Tang Longzai, and Tang Yikuan were all present to accept the medal, but they couldn't leave because of the war. And Wang Wenxuan also seemed to be a little worried that the Japanese attack would affect Longzhou City, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he was ready to hold a simple ceremony to finish, but several reporters were unwilling to do this, so they had to wait for the news of Wang Haitao's heavy damage to the Japanese army.

Wang Wenxuan was a little reluctant, but he didn't seem to dare to be too tough on these reporters, which aroused Wang Haitao's curiosity, and he sent someone to investigate and found out that these reporters all had some backgrounds, especially the female reporter named Li Li, his uncle was Qian Dajun, the political secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Obviously, Wang Wenxuan didn't dare to offend Qian Dajun, so he was a little tolerant of this Li Li.

At the insistence of Li Li and other reporters, the award ceremony was scheduled for half a month later, because Wang Haitao promised that there would be good news from the left and right. For a while, people from Chongqing had nothing to do, but these reporters wandered around Longzhou every day, looking for all the materials they thought were valuable. Two days later, in the morning, Wang Haitao was in the office on official business, and the guard at the door came in to report that a female reporter named Li Li had asked to see Wang Haitao.

Wang Haitao was stunned for a moment, but still invited Li Li into the office. Today, Li Li dressed herself up with her heart, her delicate appearance, her slender figure, and her elegant clothes made Wang Haitao's eyes shine. After Li Li saw Wang Haitao, she smiled and said: "Hello Commander Wang! I took the liberty of scratching your office, I came today to ask you to do an exclusive interview, I wonder if Commander Wang can take some time out of his busy schedule to accept my interview?"

Wang Haitao smiled and replied, "Since Miss Li is so interested in me, how can I refuse?" Wang Haitao looked at his watch, and then continued: "I don't have anything important to do in the morning, I can give you two hours, Miss Li, please sit there." Li Li said excitedly: "Great, I have heard about Commander Wang's achievements, and I have always wanted to interview you, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity, and today I finally have the opportunity to interview you." ”
