Just when deputy commander Chen Youde and his Sichuan Army subordinates were having the best time eating and drinking, suddenly Li Jiazhen, a Sichuan Army messenger, came to him in a hurry and began to report anxiously.
"Report! Deputy Commander! Commander-in-Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone called and said that he will personally bring his subordinates to express condolences to us tomorrow! So let us know in advance that he will also meet with the other generals of the Sichuan Army
, and the generals on our side will hold a meeting together to discuss the combat deployment against the Japanese aggressors and the issue of allocating our stations!"
"Please advise!"
When the messenger Li Jiazhen reported in a loud voice,
All the Sichuan officers and soldiers who were eating and drinking, including Chen Shusen, the deputy director of the logistics department who was preparing to leave, also fell silent. Everyone stared at Li Jiazhen, the messenger.
"What!"
"Are you telling the truth, or are you lying?"
"Commander Li of the Fifth Theater Zone will really come to express condolences to us tomorrow?"
"Is he coming in the morning or in the afternoon?"
"We must welcome him properly! We must not lose the face of our Sichuan Army!"
"You must know that some troops of the Sichuan Army took some weapons and equipment from the other side's warehouses to fight against the Japanese invaders during the anti-Japanese war on Yan Laoxi's side, and people gossiped about us.
When these troops from different factions came here, they were pointed out and said bad things by other troops!"
"That's why many high-level military leaders are unwilling to use our Sichuan Army to cooperate in the fight against the Japanese invaders!"
"Only Commander Li dares to trust us Sichuan troops to fight!"
"So we must welcome him properly!"
After a moment of surprise,
Deputy leader Chen Youde also asked quickly.
And he also complained about some of his experiences when he came here.
"That's for sure, especially now that we have so many delicious food and drinks, we promise to entertain Commander Li well! Don't worry, deputy commander!"
"Tsk! You are stupid! In the eyes of outsiders, our Sichuan Army is a poor straw-shoe army. Why are you becoming a rich man now? If you give so many delicious and delicious things to others, doesn't it mean that we have been lying all along?
Pretending to be poor?”
"That's right! So I think we should return to our original appearance and provide sincere hospitality!"
"Actually, I don't think we need to be so concerned or nervous. They may just come to see us, and they may not be willing to accept our kind hospitality. Moreover, they still have a lot of military affairs to deal with, and they still have to talk to the deputy commander.
, and other Sichuan Army generals are meeting to discuss the combat deployment and distribution of locations to fight against the Japanese aggressors, so let’s not think too much!”
"That's good! Let's just listen to the deputy captain's arrangements!"
After the words of deputy leader Chen Youde fell,
All the Sichuan officers and soldiers were excited and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay! You all shut up! How to receive Commander Li? I will contact and discuss with our new commander, Commander He. You must know who our new commander is, Commander He!"
"Now the personnel from the logistics department he sent are still with us!"
"So I still need to ask him for instructions on how to handle this reception issue!"
Looking at the Sichuan officers and soldiers under his command, they became more and more agitated and excited, chattering and talking.
Deputy leader Chen Youde was impatient and scolded them to stop them from continuing to make noise.
And after he finished scolding,
All the Sichuan officers and soldiers immediately shut their mouths and continued eating and drinking.
Or go to rest and continue patrolling.
As for deputy commander Chen Youde, he did not hesitate to send a telegram with Chen Shusen, deputy director of the logistics department, to contact He Feiyang to ask how to handle the visiting top commander of the fifth theater.
And at this time,
Fifth Theater Command,
Commander-in-Chief Li was also looking through the reports of his generals on the military deployment of city defense.
And they also responded one by one,
As for his plan to visit all Sichuan troops tomorrow,
He has also made arrangements for his staff.
But at this moment, the commander of the Third Army Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the Eleventh Army Li Pinxian, and the commander of the Twenty-Fourth Army Gu Zhutong standing next to him were also waiting for his orders.
"Would you like to follow me to meet these Sichuan troops tomorrow?"
"I heard that they are all very brave troops in killing Japanese invaders. Although their weapons and equipment are a little inferior, in this difficult time of the war of resistance, we need more troops like these who can fight on the battlefield without fear of the Japanese invaders.
Soldiers, come to fight!"
"That's why I decided to go tomorrow to boost their morale and see if they need any help, such as giving them some decent supplies, weapons and equipment. I heard that they are all poor straw-shoe troops, and even
We don’t even have much clothing to keep out the cold!”
"Not to mention firearms and ammunition!"
After Commander-in-Chief Li read the content documents reported by all the generals,
He also showed a gentle smile and said to the high-ranking generals who had been waiting for his instructions.
