There is a bay called Zhujia Temple 3 kilometers south of the boundary of Xiaojieling. There is a temple with a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree growing in the bay. The headquarters of the 30th Army is located in this temple with a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.
, which is also the destination of Tangcheng's trip. But Tangcheng didn't know that the headquarters of the 71st Army was also in that temple. Song Xilian, who commanded the 71st Army, was at this time under the ginkgo tree in the temple with the 30th Army.
Army Commander Tian Zhennan was drinking and chatting.
"Yin Guo, these are the soldiers of your 71st Army." After three drinks in a row, Tian Zhennan gave Song Xilian a thumbs-up, "The Japanese troops who fought at Fujin Mountain dropped their armor and they retreated to this small community.
Ling Ye is still awesome, and I, Lao Tian, admire your 71st Army very much." Tian Zhennan's words made Song Xilian confused. He and Tian Zhennan were both in the military, but Tian Zhennan was ahead of Song Xilian in terms of seniority and age.
When Tian Zhennan suddenly said these words, Song Xilian was really confused.
Perhaps seeing Song Xilian's confusion, Tian Zhennan smiled happily, "Yin Guo, when it comes to this matter, I have to thank your 88th Division. If it weren't for Zhong Bin who couldn't hold the Military and Political Department
After all those gentlemen's troubles, maybe it won't be my 30th Army's turn to pick up this treasure." Song Xilian became more and more puzzled by Tian Zhennan's words, why does this involve the 88th Division again?
After drinking a glass of wine and throwing two peanuts into his mouth, the proud Tian Zhennan revealed the answer to Song Xilian's mystery, "Aren't our 30th Army ordered to gather the people in the Xiaojieling area these days?
, the telegram just now came from the troops in front, saying that a troop killed a Japanese squad in Hexi Village, and also seized four radios and some things recorded in Japanese, which will be sent here.
Guess which army that army belongs to?" Tian Zhennan's question left Song Xilian at a loss.
"Just for this, I have to toast you." Tian Zhennan filled up the wine for Song Xilian, and the two clinked glasses and drank heavily, but Song Xilian was still waiting for him to reveal the final mystery. "This unit is your 71st Army.
The people in question were an infantry company of the 88th Division who stayed in Wuhan for rest. When the Ministry of Military Affairs placed them with the 30th Army, I couldn’t figure out what happened, but now it seems that it was just the company commander who led the troops.
Wuhan offended people, but I found a treasure."
Tian Zhennan's words made Song Xilian somewhat suffocated. My troops from the 71st Army were transferred to your 30th Army to help fight the war. They also killed a small group of Japanese soldiers at once and seized four radio stations. A company with such combat strength is in the 71st Army.
There are not many soldiers in the army. "Do you know the exact number of that infantry company?" Song Xilian, who had already been intrigued by Tian Zhennan, asked continuously after taking a sip of wine. Already knowing that this unit belonged to the 71st Army, Song Xilian was eager to
Know the specific situation of this infantry company.
Seeing that Song Xilian was starting to become restless, Tian Zhennan was amused. When he mentioned this matter while drinking, Tian Zhennan just wanted to play with Song Xilian. The 71st Army fought well in Fujin Mountain. I heard that even the chairman's wife
I went to the front line of Fujin Mountain to offer condolences, and especially met with Song Xilian. Although Tian Zhennan was not a person who envied other people's military exploits, he still felt a little jealous in his heart.
"Send a report to the 88th Division and ask about the situation of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment." After finally escaping from the yard with urine, Song Xilian, who was already slightly drunk, called his combat staff and asked him to send a report to ask Zhong Bin about the 2nd Company.
"Yeah, my men from the 71st Army helped Tian Heizi fight, and he still teased me about it, which made me so angry." Song Xilian, who was so angry that he couldn't drink anymore, just waited in the telecommunications room.
Waiting for Zhong Bin's reply.
Zhong Bin, who received the telegram from the military headquarters, was also dumbfounded. Tang Cheng was just a small captain and company commander. How could even the army commander know about him? How could this kid be so capable? All the trouble was transferred to the army commander.
But the telegram was sent under the order of the army commander, and Zhong Bin did not dare to hide it, so he sent Song Xilian all the information he had learned in Macheng. After receiving the information Zhong Bin sent by telegram, Song Xilian
Only then did he calm down and look through the translated telegrams carefully. The entire stack of telegrams was sorted like a book by Song Xilian's combat staff.
"This guy is really from our 71st Army." Zhong Bin said in the telegram that Tangcheng Lion and Shanghai were incorporated into the Second Company. He also explained the reason why the Second Company separated from the 1st Battalion and did not appear at the Sixing Warehouse. Song Xilian had to admit it.
Tian Zhennan's joke just now is indeed correct. The troops who helped the 30th Army make great contributions are indeed members of their 71st Army. "This guy is only 10 years old? He even got the rank of captain from the front line and fought in Nanjing."
"
Looking through the messages in his hand, Song Xilian became more and more angry. Although Tang Cheng was not old, he could be considered a veteran. What's more, Tang Cheng not only fought in Shanghai and Nanjing, but also fought in Mengcheng and Macheng.
He has a good record. How can Zhong Bin push such a tiger general to the 30th Army? Now is the country's critical crisis. As long as this Tangcheng can fight, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs can't stand it, he can
Why, is it possible that the 71st Army is still afraid of those villains in the Military and Political Department?
"Send a few people to guard the intersection outside. If Tang Cheng comes, bring him to see me immediately." Song Xilian didn't want Tian Zhennan to stay so happy, so he ordered his combat staff to send people to guard the intersection into Wanzi.
Song Xilian met in Tangcheng not to bring the Second Company back to the 71st Army. The Second Company came to Xiaojieling to get an order from the Military and Political Ministry. Rushing the Second Company back to the 71st Army would only offend Tian Zhennan and the Military and Political Department at the same time.
Song Xilian just wanted to see this Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng, who was galloping on horseback, didn't know this yet. He just wanted to quickly send the radio station and the pocket paper to the military headquarters, and then return to join Niu Laogui and the others. The Second Company was his home. Follow this
When the dirt road approached Wanzi, several Japanese soldiers wearing German-style helmets appeared on the roadside. The lieutenant leading them stood directly in the middle of the road. Tang Cheng and others had to slow down their horses.
The black men inside had even pulled out the short guns from their waists.
"This is Company Commander Tang Cheng from the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division?" They were still a few meters away from the lieutenant in the middle of the road. Tang Cheng and others stopped their horses, but the lieutenant's words surprised Tang Cheng. He just
He knew that the headquarters of the 30th Army was in this bay, but he didn't know that the headquarters of the 71st Army was also here. But how could the people in the 30th Army know the number of the Second Company so well? And why were they blocking the road here?
When Tang Cheng nodded and acknowledged his unit number and identity, the lieutenant standing in the middle of the road was happy. Tang Cheng looked really small. "Then come with me. We are from the 71st Army.
I want to see you." He didn't expect to meet people from the 71st Army here. Tang Cheng, who was on horseback, could only control his horse speed and follow the lieutenant all the way into the temple. "Wait here now, I'll go in and report.
"Sound." Leaving the horse outside the temple, Tang Cheng and others stood at the place designated by the lieutenant, waiting for Song Xilian to summon him.
Tangcheng and the others were covered in blood when they attacked Hexi Village, and then they trekked all the way to Wanzi. Tangcheng and the others only washed their faces in a hurry, but they had no time to clean up the bloodstains on their uniforms. Six of them were covered in blood.
The smelly guy stood upright outside Song Xilian's headquarters, causing the military personnel in the temple to look back and forth. There were even a few female soldiers pointing at Tangcheng and they laughed loudly, talking about the old Northeastern face.
His black face became darker and darker like the bottom of a pot.
"I said I won't come, but you insist on me coming. Now it's better, people will treat you like a monkey." Lao Dongbei was so angry that he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tangcheng. At the intersection
The lieutenant who stopped them had been in for a while, but no one had come out to pay attention to them. This was obviously his intention to test them. Although Tang Cheng's military career was short, he often went to listen to storytelling when he was in Peking.
In the mouths of those storytellers, those marshals always love to show off the majesty of the generals under the killer. Song Xilian would never have thought that Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the door, could see his temptation without any knowledge.
"Don't move. Someone is testing us. If you move, we will fall behind. You don't want to be promoted? If you want to be promoted, just listen to me and stand still." To deal with an official fanatic like Lao Dongbei, the only way is to deal with him.
The only way to catch him was to talk about promotion, a trick that Tang Cheng had already mastered. Sure enough, although Old Dongbei was still muttering in a low voice, he still stood still after listening to Tang Cheng.
"The military commander asked Company Commander Tang to go in. You guys will come with me to have something to eat first." The lieutenant who led them before finally came out. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng didn't have time to eat and rest. He wanted to go in to see Song Xilian. Tang Cheng didn't
Knowing who the commander of the 71st Army was, Tang Cheng lost interest in the 88th Division and even the 71st Army from the time Zhong Bin did not dare to disobey the order of the Military and Political Department and transfer the Second Company to the 30th Army.
As long as the men of the Second Company survive, as for the commander of the 71st Army, what will he do?
Entering the room, Tang Cheng was a little dumbfounded. There were more than a dozen officers in the room, and half of the officers inside had no markings on their collars. He didn't know which one was the commander of the 71st Army. "The 88th Division."
Tang Cheng, the commander of the 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment, was ordered to come and ask for instructions from the Army Commander." Tang Cheng, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to salute first, and then loudly reported the number of the 2nd Company. The last thing he said was to ask for instructions from the Army Commander. This
Whoever answers the call in the room is the commander of the 71st Army.
Song Xilian, who had been looking at Tang Cheng out of the corner of his eye, was very happy. Zhong Bin had already said in the message that Tang Cheng was only 18 years old, but Song Xilian did not expect that Tang Cheng would be so young. Judging from his appearance, Tang Cheng looked at him the most.
Ten** years old. Let Tang Cheng and the others stand outside the house for a quarter of an hour. It was Song Xilian's attempt to make things difficult and test him. He didn't expect that a guy of Tang Cheng's size could be so calm. No wonder Erlian was completely damaged several times.
