"Principal, great victory on the front line, great victory on the front line!" Qian Dajun, director of the Attendant's Office, hurried into Jiang's lounge with a telegram from the 27th Army Headquarters.
"Oh, the action is so fast! Is there news coming from Zhongtiao Mountain?" Jiang was deeply surprised.
"This is the battle situation reported by Changzhi!" Qian Dajun smiled sarcastically.
Jiang's face suddenly darkened: "Nang Xipi, the Forty Army and the New Fifth Army have been fighting for several days, but there is still no result. What is there to report!"
Seeing the old man's gloomy expression, Qian Dajun secretly thought that he was bad, and flattered him on the horse's hooves. Finally, he bit the bullet and said: "Principal, under the supervision of the 27th Army, as of three o'clock in the afternoon on the 21st,
, Gaoping, Huguan, and Lingchuan counties attacked by the Forty Army and the New Fifth Army were all recovered, and a total of more than 2,000 Japanese troops and more than 8,000 puppet troops were annihilated!"
"Principal, this is a rare victory for our national army in recovering lost territory on a large scale since the Anti-Japanese War. Such exciting news should be communicated to the people across the country to inspire people from all walks of life to be determined to resist the war!" Qian Dajun suggested.
Jiang's face kept changing after hearing this, and he said after a long time: "The soldiers at the front fought bloody battles to regain the lost ground, and it is inevitable that they will be rewarded. However, we have to postpone it until the counterattack on Zhongtiao Mountain comes to an end, and then we will be rewarded!
"
"In addition, send a report to Fan Hanjie and order him to immediately discuss the specific matters of taking over Changzhi City with the Eighth Route Army. This matter should be done sooner rather than later!"
In Jiang's mind, the Fortieth Army and the New Fifth Army were just a mixed bag. If their records of regaining lost ground were made public now, wouldn't it appear that the Central Army was incompetent? It would be better to wait until Zhongtiao Mountain achieved some results.
That's the right time.
"Students understand!" Qian Dajun bowed his head and responded, turning around and walking out the door.
Unexpectedly, someone from Jiang stopped him again at this time: "Mu Yin!"
"headmaster!"
"How is Zhou Weihan's situation?"
"Principal, regarding Zhou Weihan's matter, the Military Commission is discussing a charter, but they are still arguing about what kind of reward should be given to Zhou Weihan? What kind of position? I will urge this matter as soon as possible!" Qian Dajun said.
"A bunch of guys who have nothing to do with their corpses. Zhou Weihan can't be considered a brigade commander in the Eighth Route Army. Wouldn't it be a pity for such a young talent to stay in the Eighth Route Army? As long as it can be used by our party, how can we begrudge a mere position?"
Jiang scolded someone.
"Yes, yes, the principal has always been eclectic in promoting talents. I will convey the principal's intention to them!"
"Go for it!"
"yes!"
After Qian Dajun left, Jiang took out a diary from the drawer and flipped through a few pages.
I saw clearly written in the diary that the leader of the 281st Regiment, Yang Han, was a disciple of Huangpu and had made great contributions to the reconquest of Lin County, so he should be highly commended.
Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment, was the first to regain the lost land in Changzi County in the Huangpu Phase 5. When the time comes, he can be transferred to the Central Army to serve as the direct division commander.
As for Sun Dianying and Pang Bingxun, there is a cross on their names, which means to conserve their strength and disobey orders. They seem to want to surrender to the enemy, so they should be more careful.
At the end of this page is Zhou Weihan's name, briefly written about his background, relationship, and achievements.
I saw Jiang picked up the pen on the table and added another sentence: Young talents, if they can improve themselves, can be appointed as the direct division commander.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang couldn't help but think of the past during the Eastern Expedition, when his former division was defeated and his students escaped from the enemy's roundup with him on their backs.
But when he was at his most energetic, he abandoned himself. He secretly thought it was a pity. Jiang became more and more determined to use talents in an eclectic way.
Then he showed a satisfied smile, closed the diary, and locked it in the drawer.
The words are divided into two parts.
After the battle between the Forty Army and the New Fifth Army ended, Fan Hanjie immediately invited Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying to come to the headquarters of the Twenty-seventh Army for talks.
After Pang and Sun received the telegram, they couldn't help but beat the drums, but the territory had been occupied in full. As soon as the two communicated, they immediately established an offensive and defensive alliance.
No matter how strong the 27th Army is, can they still take action against the 40th Army and the New 5th Army at the risk of undermining the united front?
That evening, Fan Hanjie hosted a banquet for the two of them at the military headquarters.
After some exchange of drinks, Fan Hanjie explained his intention to the two of them.
"Brother Gengchen and Brother Kuiyuan, I would like to congratulate you two for now having a place in Tainan. You don't have to let the soldiers suffer in the valley. From now on, you will have a lot to do!" Fan Hanjie said first!
words of compliment.
The two people present were both human beings. Although they drank a lot of wine, they understood very well in their hearts, but they said that today's victory was achieved only because of the good command of the commission and the bloody battle of all the soldiers.
Hearing this, Fan Hanjie cursed the old fox in his heart, and then simply said: "You two, I won't say more polite words. In the future, we will have to rely on our three armies to help each other in the Tainan area. The specific arrangements have been made by the Military Commission.
According to the regulations, I believe you two will be notified soon!"
"Regardless of when the Japanese army will counterattack, the Eighth Route Army is still entrenched in Tainan, which is a serious concern for the party and state. Moreover, the Changzhi City has not been delivered yet, so it is inevitable that there are some delusions!"
"Brother Fan, now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. How dare the Eighth Route Army destroy the united front? What you say is a bit dangerous and sensational!" Pang Bingxun relied on his seniority and did not even raise his eyes when he spoke.
"Yes, the Eighth Route Army is guaranteed to keep its word!" Sun Dianying on the side also answered.
The two of them had a favorable impression of the Eighth Route Army, but what determined their attitude was whether their own interests were threatened.
"Haha!" Fan Hanjie sneered when he saw the two people's indifferent attitude: "Changzhi City is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, and Gaoping, Huguan, Lingchuan and other places are under the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
, you two must think carefully, you two will not forget the lessons learned from the 97th Army in Tainan!"
As soon as these words came out, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the two of them, and all the drunkenness they had just had disappeared.
More than 10,000 people from the 97th Army faced the Eighth Route Army's offensive. They collapsed after not holding on for a day. At that time, the 40th Army and the New 5th Army were not far apart in the rear.
The Eighth Route Army, armed with the power of a great victory, might have been easily dealt with, and the most powerful one among them was this independent detachment.
Fortunately, Pang and Sun secretly expressed their position to the Eighth Route Army in advance when the 97th Army and the Eighth Route Army were having friction, and they would never participate in it.
Later, after the battle started, Chiang ordered the Fortieth Army and the New Fifth Army to go north to support them. Pang and Sun used various excuses to evade the attack, and finally escaped the disaster.
"Then, what did Brother Fan think about it?" Pang Bingxun asked hesitantly.
"It's very simple. I need each of you to send a division to assist my 27th Army in taking over Changzhi City. As long as our 27th Army takes over Changzhi City, you two can sit back and relax!" Fan Hanjie said in a deep tone.
Pang and Sun looked at each other and understood what the other meant, and then nodded in agreement.
