"Shihe, this name looks very familiar!" The boss pointed to the third person's name and was a little surprised.
Of course, he was surprised not only by this familiar name, but also that according to military practice, the generals of the unit should be the first to receive military exploits.
If his memory is correct, apart from the first two who are generals at the Songhu Theater Command, there are at least 6 army lieutenant generals in the two infantry corps and a Hunan Army division on the Jiashan defense line.
Officer, how come an army lieutenant colonel ranked before them?
How much ability do you have to have such a ranking?
"Tang Dao was the battalion commander of the 88th Division's Sixing Battalion, the lone army that guarded the Sixing Battalion in the end. The order was personally issued by Minister He. During the retreat, the Sixing Battalion encountered the 43rd Army that was ordered to go to Songjiang for support, so it gave up its original retreat plan.
, have been cooperating with the 43rd Army and the 67th Army in combat until now, have you forgotten?" The Major General's Attendant had to help this noble and forgetful boss pick up the lost memories.
"Oh! I remembered, this young man is great!" The boss showed a bit of joy on his face, and nodded slightly: "He has helped the 88th Division look good."
"However, is it a bit too much to place a small battalion commander in third place? What does this make the generals of the 67th Army, 43rd Army, and 128th Division think? These people at the Songhu Theater Command are just trying to grab the credit.
Time is your best, why can't you do this little thing well?" The boss's face calmed down and he tapped the back of the chair gently.
"It is said that this was the result of collective deliberation among the three lieutenant generals on the Jiashan front line. It was not decided by the theater headquarters. He was finally ranked third. The theater headquarters was also worried about the negative impact." The major general's attendant could only explain cautiously.
What he means is that if it weren't for the theater headquarters, Tang Dao would probably be ranked first.
In fact, this is how Jiashan Command is ranked.
Without asking the boss any more questions, he just took out a message from the briefcase he kept in his hand: "This is a message from the Jiashan Frontline Command to the Songhu Theater Command and the Ministry of Military Affairs regarding Lieutenant Colonel Tang Daotang's night attack on the heavy artillery brigade.
A brief summary of combat experience.”
"Let me take a look!" The boss picked up his glasses and carefully read the brief description of Tang Dao's battle.
"The Sihang Battalion under his command shot down six Japanese aircraft during the defense battle of Baihe Port Bridge, and wiped out nearly 400 Japanese special attack teams who were lurking for a sneak attack;
He personally led the cavalry battalion and guard battalion of the 67th Army Headquarters and his 107th and 108th division cavalry battalions and guard battalions, as well as his Songjiang garrison battalion and Sihang battalion, totaling 3,200 people, attracting pursuit from the Tenth Army and causing the main force to withdraw to Jiashan County;
For seven consecutive days, they fought mobile battles with the 36th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese 6th Division in the wild areas of Songjiang. They left one unit to block the attack the night before, and personally led their main force to night attack the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade's station, wiping them all out.
"While he was quietly reciting the record of Tang Dao's military exploits, every one of which could win a medal, the boss's eyes were as calm as an autumn lake, without even a single ripple.
Putting down the message in his hand, the boss turned his attention to the major general's attendant who lowered his head: "He is the commander of the Fourth Army Battalion. How can he lead troops of the same level as the 67th Army Cavalry Battalion and Guard Battalion? The 67th Army's military headquarters has no control over him.
I trust you very much! Also, what’s going on with the Songjiang Security Camp?”
"I'm really not sure about this. It should be reorganized from the Songjiang Security Group! Or it may be a temporary unit set up to deal with the Japanese army under Songjiang City." The Major General's Attendant could only say this.
Of course he knew the implication of the old man's question, but the 67th Army had sufficient autonomy for such a battalion-sized unit and did not need to report to the theater headquarters or the Ministry of Military Affairs. A high-ranking person like him
, how can you know it in such detail?
"I'll take a look at the list first. You go check out the composition of this security battalion, as well as its troops and equipment!" The boss nodded noncommittally and waved his hand to explain.
"Yes!" The major general's attendant had no choice but to excuse himself.
But he was sighing slightly in his heart! He was entrusted by several big guys at the Songjiang Theater Command. This time he must help the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the 88th Division. For no other reason than that, he was another member of the 88th Division.
The person in charge of the front is also a bright spot for the Central Military Department. Helping him is to put gold on the faces of the generals who have become disgraced.
However, they still underestimated the extent of the boss's anger towards the incident a year ago. No matter how outstanding the 67th Army was on the front line, even if they made such great achievements, they could not make the boss reduce his hatred towards them.
scruples.
In fact, the greater the credit, the more unhappy the boss feels.
And that young man named Tang Dao is so close to the 67th Army. It's strange that the boss feels happy.
No one can help this.
Sure enough, when the Major General's Attendant returned to the small hall half an hour later and reported the composition, strength, equipment, and background of the Songjiang Garrison Battalion, he clearly felt that there was an imperceptible flash in the boss's face, which was as calm as water.
of cold light.
"Shihe, I have just spoken to Minister He on the phone about the military merit draft drafted by the Ministry of Military Affairs. To use the words I once said, merit must be rewarded. Soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, no matter which army they are in, are all mine.
For the Chinese Army, how can we be stingy with medals and bonuses? That will chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers."
"yes!"
"But! That Tang Dao from the Four Elements Camp is giving me some trouble!" The boss stood up, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"First, the resume shows that he is only in his early 20s. At such an age, Shihe, tell me what you are doing?"
"Shihe should still be studying in the military academy and listening to your teachings!" The major general's attendant stood up straight and respectfully.
"Yes! You are in your early 20s, but you are still a student, but Tang Dao is already a full-time battalion commander, with the rank of Army Lieutenant Colonel. If you are promoted again, you will have to be a colonel. A colonel in his 20s, in this world,
In the eyes, he is young and promising, and is about to achieve great success, but as the ancients said, "Everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!" Especially in this turbulent era, it is inappropriate to put a young man at the forefront of such a storm!" The boss shook his head.
Sigh!
"That's right!" the major general's attendant could only nod in agreement.
Even he knew that this man was seriously suppressing a rising star, and the real reason was just the army that had imprisoned him.
"Secondly, he is the commander of the main battalion of the 88th Division of our Central Army. Such a high-profile promotion can easily be criticized by those people, saying that my promotion is only based on closeness. When the country is in crisis, our Chinese nation should be united as one, but
There are always those people who only care about self-interest, which is really hateful!" Anger flashed in the boss's eyes, and his footsteps could not help but become a little heavier.
This kind of indignation is not fake. There are many factions in the country. Even if he has achieved what he wanted and ascended to a high position, he has never said anything about it.
There are also one or two thorns in the side who even speak out against it.
If the Japanese hadn't arrived first, he would have raised his troops to destroy them first, even though that was something he had been working on for many years but had not yet accomplished.
"However, for such great achievements, one must be rewarded. Otherwise, those people in the 67th Army should say behind my back that I am a fool because I don't know the rewards and punishments. Isn't that what they said in front of me a year ago? They were holding submachine guns and pistols.
, their courage is much greater than many people imagine!"
"Tell me, Shihe, how should Tang Dao talk about his merits?" The boss, who had already set the tone, threw the question directly to his personal Major General Attendant.
He is certainly a smart person to be able to serve as an aide next to this man who is definitely one of the top three political leaders in China at this time, and who is equivalent to the future director of the office of China's senior statesman.
A smarter person who is smarter than countless smart people.
He knew that the boss didn't really ask him to express his opinions, but just used his mouth to express his own thoughts.
The result is the most important thing. The reasons mentioned by the boss just disappeared as soon as they left this small hall.
"I suggest." The Major General's Attendant thought for tens of seconds and then cautiously expressed his opinion.
"Okay, please inform the Military and Administrative Department of your suggestions!"
Boss, I picked up the slightly cold tea again and drank it with satisfaction.
