Yue Weihan reviewed the queue and saw an old man and a child at the end of the queue.
The old man was obviously over sixty, and his back was hunched over. The child was only seven or eight years old. Although he looked like a tiger-headed man, the 38-year-old man on his back was almost touching the ground. He saw Yue Weihan approaching on horseback.
, the old man and the child hurriedly puffed up their chests, almost writing "This gun was paid by the Russians themselves" on their faces.
Yue Weihan immediately turned over and dismounted, then turned back to look at Chu Zhongtian who was accompanying him for review.
Chu Zhongtian quickly dismounted, and then introduced to Yue Weihan: "Chief, this is Father Chang, and this is Huzi. They are all my soldiers. They just joined the army last night."
After saying this, Chu Zhongtian once again told the story of the two of them, and the chili pepper bomb pioneered by Chang Lao was naturally not left out. Speaking of which, the Thirty-ninth Army was able to completely wipe out the Japanese army with a small cost of less than 200 casualties.
The 80th Infantry Regiment regained and pacified the county town, thanks to the chili pepper bomb invented by Chang.
Yue Weihan shook hands with Father Chang with a solemn face, and then reached out to touch Huzi's little head.
Unexpectedly, Huzi tilted his head and moved away, and then said dissatisfiedly: "My father said that men's heads cannot be touched casually. This is called a tiger's head being untouchable."
"It's so hard to touch the head of a tiger." Yue Weihan smiled and said, "Is your name Huzi?"
Huzi nodded and said proudly: "My father gave me this gift."
Yue Weihan asked: "Have you given a name yet?"
"Not yet. Father O said that he would give him a name after Taiyuan is captured, but..." Huzi's little head drooped as he said that, and his big black eyes were already filled with tears, but the little guy held on.
I was ambitious, and I remembered what I taught you, "A man should not shed tears easily", so he just held back his tears.
Yue Weihan looked a little sad and said, "Huzi, why don't I give you a good name?"
"That can't be done." Huzi said without hesitation, "Only my father can give me a good name."
"Then I am your father!" Yue Weihan said solemnly, "From today on, you are my son!"
Wang Zanchen and others nearby had already noticed that Yue Weihan was thinking of adopting a son. If Huzi could really become Yue Weihan's adopted son, it would be a blessing for him. At that moment, Wang Zanchen quickly reminded Chang Chang: "Dad
, hurry up and ask Hu Zi to kowtow to Commander-in-Chief Yue and call him daddy!"
"This..." Father Chang was a little embarrassed. The Chang family was the only one in the family.
Yue Weihan knelt down in front of Huzi and said harmoniously: "Huzi, call me daddy."
However, Hu Zi twisted his neck and rolled his eyes at Yue Weihan. The little guy didn't accept this trick at all.
Yue Weihan laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, okay, whether you want it or not, I will become your father!" After that, Yue Weihan said to Dad Chang: "Dad, don't get me wrong, I just think this
The boy is a good material, so I want to keep him by my side and polish him well. No matter what his future achievements are, his surname will always be Chang, and he will always be a member of your old Chang family!"
Father Chang was relieved and took Huzi to give Yue Weihan a big gift. Yue Weihan quickly helped his grandfather and grandson up, and said to Huzi: "Since your nickname is Huzi and your surname is Chang, why not call him Changshan Hu?"
, I hope that when you grow up, you can be as good at fighting as Chang Shan Zhao Zilong, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, hahaha."
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
"What did you say?" Chairman Chiang looked at Wang Shihe, the chief of the national guard, in disbelief, "The Thirty-ninth Army recovered Pingding County? So fast!?"
"Yes." Wang Shihe nodded.
Chairman Chiang was awestruck, this indeed exceeded his expectations.
Previously, the main reason why Chairman Chiang resolutely opposed the Thirty-ninth Group Army's recovery of Taiyuan was that he was worried that Yue Weihan's personal prestige would surpass that of Jiang as a result of this battle. However, another reason cannot be ignored, and that is that Commissar Chiang
The commander believed that the Thirty-ninth Group Army simply did not have the strength to regain Taiyuan.
Although the Baoshan Division had previously regained control of Lunan and Shimen, these were all surprise attacks.
But this time was different. This time, Taiyuan was regained by mobilizing troops and mass troops. They also contacted the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and even the Eighth Route Army for help. They also launched their posture early. This was not a surprise attack but a forceful attack. Yue Weihan's tactical command
Although no one can match his ability, he still takes it for granted if he wants to regain Taiyuan and even Shanxi, right?
However, the facts cruelly proved that it was certainly him, Jiang, and not Yue Weihan.
"Call He Yingqin and Chen Cheng." Chairman Chiang pondered for a moment and then said to Wang Shihe, "Tell them to come right away."
Wang Shihe took the order, and less than fifteen minutes later, He Yingqin, Chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission, and Chen Cheng, Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth War Zone, rushed to Chairman Chiang's study. Chairman Chiang motioned for the two to sit down and said:
"Respectfully, Ci Xiu, do you all know about the Thirty-ninth Army Group's restoration of the county seat?"
The two of them nodded at the same time, and He Yingqin replied: "I just found out."
Chairman Jiang looked at He Yingqin with a faint look and asked, "Jingzhi, what do you think?"
He Yingqin said: "It's still my humble duty. The Thirty-ninth Army is likely to regain Taiyuan and even the entire Shanxi."
"I'm disgusted." Chen Cheng said disapprovingly, "Although the Thirty-ninth Army has regained Pingding County, the premise is that the Japanese army in the direction of Shimen has not moved. Once the Japanese army in Shimen launches a fierce attack on Tumen Pass, the main force of the Thirty-ninth Army will inevitably
If we return reinforcements to the east, the offensive against Taiyuan will be unsustainable."
"I believe in Zhongshu." He Yingqin said simply. "Since he dares to propose this combat plan and implement it, he must have a strategy to deal with the Japanese army in the direction of Shimen. Although we don't know his specific strategy yet, I think it is
It must be a brilliant idea, I've never doubted it."
"You do have great confidence in him." Chen Cheng said coldly.
"That's natural." He Yingqin said, "I have always had confidence in Zhongshu, and he has never let me down!"
He Yingqin's strong confidence in Yue Weihan made Chairman Chiang a little moved. Thinking about it carefully, although Yue Weihan is young, he is indeed not a fool who does things regardless of the consequences. Since Sihang Warehouse, every decision he has made has been directed by the commander.
Every battle can be said to be a matter of planning before taking action!
Among them was the Battle of Nanjing. Although this battle destroyed more than a dozen elite divisions of the Central Army, it also greatly killed and wounded the Japanese army. It also bought Jiang a huge reputation and the whole Japanese people to resist the Japanese.
The rising enthusiasm was replaced by a flood of donations from overseas Chinese. Looking back now, the battle to defend Nanjing was still worth it.
At that moment, Chairman Chiang made a decision and said to He Yingqin: "With respect, we will arrange a press conference immediately."
After saying this, Chairman Chiang continued: "I want to personally introduce the specific deployment and combat objectives of the Taiyuan Battle to the envoys of various countries stationed in Chongqing. This Taiyuan Battle is aimed at combating the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and inspiring the whole nation.
* The morale of the people in the war of resistance, the National Government and the National Revolutionary Army have the confidence, determination of the people and the ability to win this battle!"
He Yingqin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and responded: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
"In addition..." Chairman Chiang waved to He Yingqin to wait, and added, "Immediately send a telegram to the whole country to commend the Thirty-ninth Army, and reward the Thirty-ninth Army one hundred thousand legal currency! If Taiyuan is liberated, an additional five
One hundred thousand yuan, and if we can recover all of Shanxi, we will add another two million yuan!"
Shanxi West, Second War Zone Chief's Department.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's great (Liao), it's really great." Commander Yan was so excited that he paced back and forth, while he kept running his right thumb along the mustache on his lips, and then turned to the attendant.
Adjutant Xu Youde said, "Immediately send a commendation telegram to the 101st Division. Each soldier will be rewarded with five yuan, oh no, ten yuan. Every soldier who died in battle will be given a pension of fifty yuan. Then send a report to the Military Commission and request
Wang Jianye, the commander of the 301st Regiment, is posthumously awarded the rank of Army Major General."
"Yes." Xu Youde stood at attention with a snap, and then said, "General sir, we've also called from Chongqing."
"A call from Chongqing?" Chief Yan turned around and took the telegram from Xu Youde.
Xu Youde handed over the telegram and said: "Chairman Chiang finally sees the situation clearly this time."
"See the situation clearly?" Chief Yan said coldly, "Jiang is coming to pick peaches."
Pingding County, frontline headquarters of the Thirty-ninth Group Army.
Liu Yi flicked the telegram in his hand and said to Yue Weihan: "General Manager, Mr. Jiang is not slow to respond."
Liu Yi was originally from the Northeast Army, and he was originally dissatisfied with Chairman Chiang's detention of Marshal Zhang, so naturally he could not show much respect in his words.
"How else could he gain the trust of Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the country, and become a leader?" Sun Dianying, who was standing next to him, seemed to have some resentment in his words. He was obviously dissatisfied with Chairman Chiang's leadership status, and added, "Chairman Chiang's military command
His abilities are indeed mediocre, but his skills are still very good."
"That's right." Gao Shuxun also echoed, "Chairman Chiang held a press conference at this time. The timing is really amazing. As soon as the newspaper broadcast the propaganda, everyone around the world knew that the Taiyuan battle was organized by Chairman Chiang.
, If our Thirty-ninth Group Army can regain Taiyuan and even Shanxi, it is inseparable from Chairman Chiang’s wise decision-making and full support."
Bi Guangheng, who was born in the Central Army, frowned and said: "It seems a little inappropriate for us to talk about leaders behind their backs like this, right?"
"Okay, stop it. Don't talk about this topic anymore. It's really inappropriate to talk about leaders behind their backs." Yue Weihan waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss how to fight this battle successfully and then successfully regain the entire country."
Shanxi, try to get Chairman Chiang to spend another 2.5 million yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yi, Gao Shuxun and others chuckled.
