Chapter 16 Don't Forget Your Origin(2/2)
Behind Tang Mengxiao's Eighth Army, we were always restricted by others and had no way to use it. It seems that I failed to consider it. If I had followed Li Delin's right column, wouldn't our army's combat effectiveness have been demonstrated earlier?"
All the subordinates repeatedly claimed that Jiang Dingwen, Hui Dongsheng and other commander-in-chief's favorite generals cursed Tang Shengzhi for not being a thing. They were constrained by everything and were on guard every day. As a result, the Second Division followed behind the Eighth Army and couldn't even take a sip of soup. If it weren't for An Yi,
When four thousand defeated troops were discovered in the east of Yueyang City, the whole division rose up to suppress them. The division headquarters made timely adjustments and decisively sent An Yi, a special force, to sneak into the mountains to collect the remaining troops. It was feared that none of the two divisions could be captured.
Commander-in-chief Jiang nodded frequently, stood up and walked towards An Yi and the others: "Just now, I discussed with Deputy Commander Wang Baoling and the chief officers of various military departments. In view of your military exploits and contributions since the Northern Expedition, especially the Battle of Tingsi Bridge
For your outstanding performance, we have decided to name your engineering battalion a 'Model Battalion' from today on, award you with the flag of the model battalion, give priority to replenishing equipment and missing personnel within three days, and notify the entire army for commendation. I hope you will follow suit.
Be wary of arrogance and impetuosity, work hard with self-denial, and make new contributions to our army and our revolutionary cause!"
There were bursts of applause, and An Yi and the other three saluted respectfully and loudly expressed their determination to live up to the principal's expectations and the trust and encouragement of all the military officers.
The applause stopped, and Hu Shusen, who was deeply satisfied, happily motioned for An Yi and the others to step back. However, An Yi shook his head slightly and strode to the principal with his head held high to ask for instructions:
"Principal, the students feel that the current battle flags of various armies are of different styles. If we follow the usual routine, it will not be able to reflect the majesty of our army. The students feel that it is better to write a few more words on the flags awarded by the military."
"Oh? You kid always has weird ideas. Let me hear it. If it makes sense, I will satisfy you." Commander-in-Chief Jiang looked at An Yi with interest.
An Yi Suurong replied loudly: "The students think that the new flag of the headquarters should follow the color and style of our First Army battle flag, and add the six characters 'First Army Second Division' in a prominent position on the battle flag. The students think that this can
Reflecting the origins of our battalion can also allow all officers and soldiers in the battalion to always remember their origins and never forget their origins!"
The generals around him cheered loudly, and the commander-in-chief nodded with great pleasure.
An Yi's words "Never forget your roots" made the generals in the hall feel extremely comfortable, and also brought huge benefits to An Yi's troops in future battles. Even many old foxes in the hall who had been immersed in officialdom for many years also expressed their gratitude for An Yi's statement.
