Chapter Seventy-Three: The Commander

At the wooden table in the hall, there are old brothers from Burma who have come to work. Chen Yu squatted on the steps depressed to eat, squatting next to him with dog meat, and the dog meat also ate a good meal, one person and one dog watched the noise in the courtyard.

We cook here and have a great meal together. This is a very happy thing, enjoy the hard-won food, gather here with colleagues, and the veterinarian even bought the bud rice wine brewed by the people of Zenda, not much, it is difficult for everyone to take a sip. But we still ate to the fullest, and the atmosphere was enough to be intoxicating with just cold water in the glass.

'Didi'

'Didi'

The whistle of the car sounded at the door again, no one cared who walked in, and even Tang Ji was dumbfounded when he stood at the door, and the noise covered his appearance. Chen Yu, who was squatting on the steps to eat, saw Tang Ji and the person standing behind him, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

"Silence!"

Chen Yu shouted, and the people in the courtyard all looked sideways at him, and then looked back at the people at the door. It was Tang Ji, who was now wearing a dark green coat and standing outside the door with a staff in his hand, his face extremely ugly.

"Hello sir!"

Chen Yu shouted, and everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up to look at Tang Ji.

"Good, good." Tang Ji walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face and waved: "Sit down, it's important to eat." Sit down, I'm just coming to see you, and by the way, I'm announcing to you a good news, a great piece of good news. ”

As if there was no one around, Tang Ji walked up the steps surrounded by several guards, smiling like a spring breeze, and he couldn't see how cunning he was. Every action he makes, every word he says, makes people feel very convinced, this is a kind of officialdom momentum, from the actions of the superior to the inferior.

Tang Ji raised his hands to signal everyone to sit down, and then kindly held the arm of Ah Yi who came to salute him, "There is a particularly great news for the contemptible people to come this time. That is the battle you fought in Burma, and Shangfeng was very satisfied and attracted attention, so he sent contemptible people to tell you about it.

That's you, your Sichuan Legion. Now that you have inherited the name of the Sichuan Army, and your Commander Lin and you continue to fight against the Japanese devils, this is your recognition and expectation of you. Of course, it is also a responsibility, and I hope that you can carry forward the spirit of the Sichuan Army that is not afraid of death in battle, and fight the Japanese devils to the end.

Then I announced the order of the military headquarters, and it seems that there are many happy events today! In the morning, it seems that your senior commander Yu just issued a promotion order to your two chiefs, Chen and Lin, and two happy events one after another! Congratulations, congratulations. ”

All right! Now Chen Yu regrets it, regrets asking Yu Xiaoqing for a battalion of weapons and equipment, if it is a little slower, Chen Yu will open his mouth to ask for more weapons and equipment.

Throwing down a large pile of orders, Tang Ji did not want to stay here for a moment. He took most of our credit, then left us with the number of the Sichuan Legion and a few orders and left as if he were busy.

Ah Yi is still the supervisor, and a false rank of lieutenant colonel is added, the difference is that he has another identity, concurrently serving as the commander of the Sichuan Army, and it seems that there is a classmate and friend in the military department who used to be in the officer training regiment. There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and that friend of Ah Yi is in an important position, so he reports to the military minister about Ah Yi's situation.

Our banner in Myanmar was originally 'Lin Yi's department, the battalion commander of the Sichuan Army', and the military department directly promoted Ah Yi to lieutenant colonel and regiment commander, and he didn't know how to fool around in that place. According to Yu Xiaoqing's words during the day, he seems to be more supportive of Die Die to replace the head of the Sichuan Legion, but the military department hopes that the head of the Sichuan Legion is a descendant.

In the contest between the warlords and the descendants, it is obvious that the military department loves Ah Yi, who was born in the descendant officer training regiment, and is unwilling to let this unknown person take over the post of commander of the Sichuan Army.

Chen Yu is attached to the regiment of the major, which is an official position with unclear explanations, and he is below the deputy regiment commander, and he is considered an assistant to the regiment commander, but he is half a cut higher than the battalion commander. By the way, he also served as the battalion commander, I don't know how the military department and Tang Ji were involved, which roughly means to suppress the power of the dead, help Ayi, a person from a decent lineage, let Ayi, who has a natural identity advantage, be in charge of the Sichuan Army, and then let Chen Yu, who is from the lineage army, assist Ayi.

Pulling hair lice, pulling it to the point of chaos, the national disaster is still divided into lineage and miscellaneous cards.

Sending Tang Ji away, Ah Yi's face was red.

He is now the head of the regiment, and he is in charge of these more than 500 people, which makes Ah Yi suddenly feel full of pride. For leading troops back to Shanghai from remote southern Yunnan, Ah Yi is one step closer to his dream.

Ah Yi looked at the people in the courtyard and opened his mouth dryly, wanting to say something but couldn't say it, and finally could only clasp his fists and salute his comrades. Ah Yi is an innocent child, and even when he clasped his fists and saluted his comrades around him, tears flowed out of his eyes without money, and no one knew his current mood.

"I~~~I~~~"

Ah Yi said in a snort: "Relying on the trust of the chief, you brothers use their lives." I'm Lin Yi, I really don't know what to say······"

After saying two words, Ah Yi covered his flood of tears. The comrades present were all lifelong friends, and we laughed out loud, because we knew Ah Yi's character, he may be an unqualified battalion commander, but he definitely regarded his subordinates as brothers.

After a short interlude, we continued to eat together.

When night fell, after crying bitterly for a while, Ah Yi picked up a bowl of local wine made by Zenda locals from sweet potatoes, drank it all, and then fell to the ground drunk. Ah Yi was drunk and messy, shouting that his father was shot by the Japanese soldiers as a target, and sobbed in a low voice, saying 'The hatred of killing his father is not shared'.

An oil lamp is lit on the wooden table, and Chen Yu is helping an illiterate Guizhou soldier write a letter to his family. The young soldier didn't know how to organize the words, so he could only repeatedly mention to Chen Yu that everything was fine, and he was promoted from a junior to a senior soldier.

Chen Yu polished a few more sentences, loaded two oceans into the envelope, and waited for the military post office to send the letter tomorrow.

Very few of us wrote letters to our families, and many of our soldiers did not know the specific names of their hometowns, some of them were in enemy-occupied areas, and some of our relatives had long since died. There are also some people who are reluctant to send letters to their families, perhaps when they leave home, their family members have already treated them as dead.

After writing the last letter home, the young Guizhou soldier saluted Chen Yu, turned around and left with his friend who was waiting outside the door.

Xiaozui is still stationed, Chen Yu lied to her that her brother also went to Myanmar together, and now Xiaodrunk is eager to know his brother. Mi Long and Shangguan's mother and son were driven out of the camp by Chen Yu and asked them to get out and find an inn to live in.

Chen Yu sorted out the written family letters, tied them with hemp rope and prepared to send them to the military post tomorrow. Annoyed scoundrels sat across the table and twisted his fingers, breaking them so outrageously that they pressed their fingers to the back of their hands.

"Brother Chen, I want to ask ······" Get drunk and pluck up courage.

"Veterinarian."

Chen Yuchao, who was settling the accounts with his fingers and calculating how much money was spent on today's meal, said: "Give her a pension of 20 yuan, and then 30 catties of rice, and let people send her back." ”

"I don't want it!" The little drunk said stubbornly.
