Malay Peninsula, Malan Front. In a simple but highly concealed tent, Zhang Lingfu sat on an empty ammunition box and was studying a military map placed on another empty ammunition box. In front of him
, two majors stood with their heads bowed.
After a long time, Zhang Lingfu raised his head, looked at the face of one of the majors expressionlessly, and asked: "Feng Yuanzheng, do you know where you went wrong?!"
"Yes! Sir! I shouldn't blindly pursue the enemy and cause unnecessary casualties to my brothers," Feng Yuanzheng was about 25 years old. He instinctively moved his troops with both feet and answered loudly. The previous answer was very loud, but
When he said "causing", his voice became lower and lower, and his face became filled with shame again.
"Chasing the enemy blindly? Needless casualties? How many people are there in your company? Damn it, you just lost a platoon to me this time! Let me tell you, this is also abroad. If you were in China, you would make this mistake.
I should have been dragged out and killed!" Zhang Lingfu suddenly roared, and threw the pen in his hand on the map.
Feng Yuanzheng and another major could not help but remain silent.
"Zhang Gaoming, what about you, have you realized your mistake?" Zhang Lingfu's eyes squinted and turned to the face of the other major.
Zhang Gaoming put his feet together, raised his head and chest, and replied loudly: "Military seat, I am willing to accept the punishment."
In normal times, Zhang Gaoming's attitude would be the most correct. But now is obviously an unusual time, so his words not only failed to alleviate Zhang Lingfu's anger, but made him "explode" again. Like an aggressive rooster,
Zhang Lingfu took two steps forward and stretched out his neck to Zhang Gaoming, shouting at him almost face to face: "Accept the punishment?! Damn it, are you deliberately creating problems for me? You know that I am currently short of personnel, but you still
Actively requesting punishment! What? Do you mean you really want to go back to China?!"
Of course Zhang Gaoming didn't mean this, and he didn't expect Zhang Lingfu to get involved in this. He immediately panicked and quickly replied loudly: "Reporting to the military seat, there is no such thing as a humble position?!"
"Then what do you mean?"
Zhang Gaoming suddenly had sweat pouring down his face.
Zhang Lingfu wanted to continue to teach and encourage, but suddenly a voice shouted from outside: "Report to the headquarters, Soldier Xiang Shan of the Division Guard Regiment of the First Division of the Third Expeditionary Army is on duty, please give instructions!"
Then, hearing the voice of Sun Liren who answered Xiang Shan, he shouted at Zhang Gaoming and Feng Yuanzheng: "Get out!" Then he straightened his clothes and went out to greet them.
"What? Are you reprimanding your subordinates again?" Sun Liren walked in and asked straight to the point.
"These two boys are so unsatisfactory that they can't do it without training!" Zhang Lingfu replied, and then asked: "Chief, why are you here?"
"I'm not afraid that you might be holding back something wrong. I know that everyone has been miserable these days, but let me tell you, good times are coming. The high command has clearly issued a notice to launch a new offensive in the Malay Peninsula.
"Sun Liren said.
Hearing this, Zhang Lingfu was dubious at first and asked: "Really or false?" When Sun Liren responded affirmatively, he cursed angrily: "Damn, those people in the headquarters know how to talk on paper. When the Japanese defense line was not built, we asked for an attack.
They obstructed us in every possible way, and now that the Japanese defense line is fully established, they let us fight again. Don't they know that the difficulty of starting a fight at this time will increase several times?"
Why is Zhang Lingfu so angry? No, in fact, not only Zhang Lingfu, but also all the officers and soldiers of the Third Expeditionary Army were a little out of sorts during this period. The reason for this is not unrelated to the Supreme Command's "non-cooperation" in the Malay Peninsula war situation.
Relations. As the Third Expeditionary Army composed almost entirely of Huangpu officers, it has its own Huangpu-style pride from top to bottom. So when Sun Liren led a group of Huangpu geniuses to the land of Indochina, they were rushing to completely annihilate Southeast Asia.
The target of the Japanese army came.
However, the development of the war backfired. Although the soldiers of the Third Expeditionary Army dared to fight, the indigenous troops who had taken stimulants did not hesitate to stop them. Later, it was difficult to open up the situation because the supplies could not keep up. So.
, the officers and soldiers of the Third Expeditionary Army clearly felt that they could open up the situation and drive the little Japs out of the Malay Peninsula with just a little more force. However, their attacks became more and more difficult, and the casualties were also increasing. Seeing the Japs,
The fortifications are being built stronger and stronger, but the Supreme Command has been unable to provide sufficient supplies of the requested flamethrower tanks, flamethrowers, rocket launchers and other equipment. From Sun Liren to the soldiers below, they are watching the best attack
The opportunity is getting further and further away from you, and naturally you will inevitably get angry.
Sun Liren, who should be able to understand Zhang Lingfu's mood, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This time, the headquarters should be ready to take action. I heard that Admiral Gu has been ordered to rush here. He will be in charge personally."
, I think the Supreme Command will definitely not shirk our reasonable demands."
"General Gu? Gu Zhutong?"
"yes."
Zhang Lingfu blinked his eyes, and his expression became cautious. "Xiang Shan, if the chief executive and I want to talk, no other people are allowed in!" He yelled outside, then thought about his words, and whispered to Sun Liren.
: "Chief, this may not be a good thing? Are you not worried?"
Zhang Lingfu only said half of what he said, but with the tacit understanding between him and Sun Liren, the latter could certainly understand its complete meaning. Sun Liren acted quite calmly and said: "I have nothing to worry about. As long as it is to fight the Japanese, let me
Whatever I do is fine."
Zhang Lingfu also knew Sun Liren well and knew that what he said was definitely not against his will. He thought for a while and said: "Chief Commander, why do I think this is so weird? Otherwise, I can send a telegram to the Supreme Commander to ask.
?Hehe, I spent some time with the Supreme Commander, and he promised at that time that I could come to him no matter what difficulties I had."
"That's not necessary, brother Zhong Lin, since you mentioned the supreme commander. Let me ask you, based on your understanding of him, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Zhang Lingfu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "It's hard to say, but the overall feeling is good. At least it's not like the rumors say that he doesn't recognize his relatives or is lustful and shameless. By the way, although he usually looks very easy-going, but once
He is quite dignified when he makes decisions. It's strange, he and Gu Zhutong's group are not on the same road, why are they wearing the same pants this time?"
Zhang Lingfu's words were interesting, and Sun Liren couldn't help laughing. Laughing, he said: "Okay, my General Zhang, stop thinking nonsense. Tell me what I know. What the Supreme Commander did should be in line with the emerging world situation.
Changes are related. Perhaps our country will face an unprecedented severe test!"
