Hearing the commander of a theater with hundreds of thousands of troops praising him so much, Su Rui felt a little embarrassed even though he was very thick-skinned.
He quickly said: "Sir, you praise me too much. The soldiers have worked hard for this. The staff just did their duty."
Commander Li smiled and said nothing, and Xu Zuyi on the side also smiled and asked: "Commander Su, have all three hundred of your brigades arrived in Xuzhou?"
Su Rui replied: "Yes, in addition to the logistics department and hospital, all the more than 4,000 people in our brigade have arrived in Xuzhou."
"Hmm!" Xu Zuyin nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "How are the number of people and weapons and equipment in your unit?"
Suri said: "Our unit has two B regiments and a supplementary regiment with more than 4,000 combat personnel. The main weapons and equipment are the American Garand rifle and the German MG34 general machine gun." When speaking of this, Suri
He was also cautious and did not tell anyone that he had an artillery battalion and an air defense battalion.
"Oh, you are also equipped with American Garand rifles?"
Xu Zuyi smiled slightly and said intentionally or unintentionally: "American products use 7.62-caliber bullets. If this is the case, our theater does not have bullets of this caliber to supplement it for you."
Suri shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't need to worry about this. We have enough bullets for the time being, but our machine guns are all German. We hope the theater can replenish us with some 7.92-caliber bullets."
Xu Zuyi and Chief Li looked at each other, nodded and said: "No problem, I will issue a warrant to you later, you just need to use the warrant to get it. Also, do you need to get some artillery shells?"
"
As soon as Xu Zuyi's words came out, Su Rui knew that his little Jiujiu had been discovered. If a large group of his people came to Xuzhou with such a bunch of artillery and they didn't know it, they wouldn't be worthy of being the commander and chief of staff of this war zone. They would have been there long ago.
I don’t know how many times I was raided by the Japanese.
Su Rui blushed, knowing that someone had seen through her small-mindedness, but they were kinder and only reminded her with obscure hints.
Seeing the smiling faces of the two people in front of him, Su Rui said with some embarrassment: "Sir, it's the fault of the department. I hope you can forgive me."
"Haha..." Chief Li smiled and waved his hand, "You can't be wrong in being so careful. After all, with these artillery, everyone will hide them as treasures, but you have to hide them well. If you are
The other army commanders will be jealous if they see it."
Hearing what Chief Li said, Su Rui couldn't help but feel ashamed, looking at what others had in mind and what his own was like.
Seeing Su Rui lower his head, Commander Li was a kind man and couldn't bear to embarrass Su Rui and changed the subject at the right time, "Brigadier Su, what's your last name?"
Su Rui shook his head, "Sir, my parents died early and didn't give me a cousin name."
"That's it." Chief Li pondered for a moment and then said, "If you don't mind it, how about I give you a nickname?"
When Chief Li said this, Su Rui immediately became excited. Chief Li, a first-level general, wanted to give him a cousin name. This was a rare honor.
He quickly thanked him and said, "The staff department has thanked you, sir."
I saw Chief Li ponder for a while and then said: "I heard that you seemed to be covering many friendly forces that broke out from Nanjing City, and you went through hardships to Xuzhou. You went through hardships along the way, in order to prevent our country from being invaded by the Japanese.
Invasion and humiliation. Loyalty is hard to describe. How about you call it Loyalty?"
"Loyal and trustworthy? Loyal and trustworthy..."
Su Rui tasted the words in his mouth for a while, then bowed to Commander Su and said: "Write the word given by the officer, and from now on the official name of the department will be Zhongxin!"
"good!"
Seeing Su Rui's respectful attitude, Chief Li became even happier. He smiled and said, "Zhongxin, judging from your accent, you seem to be from Guangxi too, right?"
"Yes!" Su Rui also said respectfully in Guiliu dialect: "The staff is from Guibaise, Guangxi."
"Okay, very good."
Hearing this, Li Zongren couldn't help but laugh in his thick Guangxi Mandarin: "It seems that we are still fellow villagers."
After learning that the other party was actually a descendant of Bagui, Chief Li looked at him more favorably. He looked at Su Rui with a look like an elder looking at his nephew. This is how it is in this era, people from the same hometown and the same region
There is a strong custom of people hugging each other. This has nothing to do with moral character, but is purely due to thousands of years of customs.
After such a scene, both parties felt that the distance between them had become much closer. Looking at Su Rui's straight posture, Chief Li admired this fellow countryman even more. He asked: "Zhongxin, how do you feel about this upcoming game?"
What do you think of the battle?"
Su Rui thought for a while before answering carefully: "Sir, that's what I think. Xuzhou cannot be defended for a long time, because if you defend it for a long time, you will lose it."
"Oh, tell me your reasons." After hearing this, Chief Li walked aside and sat down and asked calmly.
Su Rui walked to the wall aside and opened the curtain with a swish, revealing all the military maps on the wall. He pointed at Xuzhou and said: "Sir, please look at the two main railway lines of Naijinpu and Longhai in Xuzhou."
The intersection point is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and is a transportation hub between North China, South China and Central China. Its strategic position is very important.
If we can hold Xu Shou, we can ensure the smooth flow of the Longhai Line, the military artery that crosses the east and west, and use this railway line to continue large-scale transportation of strategic materials and personnel from east to west, south and north, and block the Japanese occupation lines and occupied areas in the north and south.
It is conducive to the deployment and implementation of pincer counterattacks against the Japanese-occupied areas in Hangzhou and Jinan.
From this point of view, Xuzhou must be defended, but from the terrain point of view, Xuzhou is a plain with a flat surface, which is very conducive to the use of the Japanese mechanized troops, so Xuzhou cannot be defended in the end. Therefore, my opinion is that Xuzhou
It can be defended, but it cannot be defended for a long time. As long as we can win a big victory in Xuzhou, we can make a strategic transition to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army and the loss of precious anti-Japanese effective forces in Xuzhou."
"Pa bang bang..."
There was gentle applause, and Chief Li stood up and smiled at Xu Zuyi beside him: "Yan Mou, how are you? I am a pretty good fellow, right?"
Xu Zuyi sighed, "Young people are terrible! I didn't expect that even a colonel and brigade commander could see things clearly, but the generals and chairman of the General Committee of the Military and Political Department couldn't see through them. Is the gap between people really so big?
"
Chief Li also sighed: "It's not that they can't see it, but they don't want to bear the infamy of losing their country."
After the two sighed for a while, Chief Li also lost interest in talking. Finally, he encouraged Su Rui and said: "Zhongxin, you are now the military commander of an army with thousands of troops. You must remember to serve the country and the nation, but you can't leave it alone."
You have the idea of conserving your strength, otherwise I will be the first to spare you when the time comes."
Su Rui solemnly said: "Don't worry about the exhibition hall, just take a look at it. If I, Su Rui, preserve my strength and disobey orders during this battle, even if you punish me with military law, I will have no complaints!"
"Well, that's good, you go ahead." Chief Li nodded: "I will give you another ten days and a half to rest and recuperate. I will use you then, and you must be ready to fight a tough war.
Prepared mind."
Su Rui also replied loudly: "Sir, just don't worry, the department will definitely use me in the first battle. If you use me, you will win!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
Chief Li savored the content of this sentence in his mouth with a happy smile on his face, and then waved his hand to signal Su Rui to go down.
It wasn't until Su Rui walked out of the door that Xu Zuyi smiled and said: "Sir, it seems that this little fellow of yours not only has military talents, but also has many secrets!"
Chief Li said noncommittally: "Who doesn't have a little secret? As long as it is beneficial to the cause of the war, no secrets matter!"
Suri walked out of the door of the theater headquarters and happened to see a soldier in earth-blue military uniform walking over with a staff officer.
When they approached, Su Ruishun took a quick look. The man wearing a simple soldier's cotton coat was a lieutenant general. Surprised, Su Ruidi glanced at the other person and found that the lieutenant general was in his forties and had a hairy face.
The Chinese character face that is calm and self-defeating is very awe-inspiring.
After the other party passed by, Su Rui quietly asked the staff officer who was leading the way.
"Consultant Huang, who is this commander who just passed by?"
Staff Huang next to him said in surprise: "Don't you know? He is Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 27th Army."
"What? He is Zhang Zizhong!"
Su Rui's mouth opened wide. The person he felt was General Zhang Zizhong, who was called the soul of the Chinese nation by many people in later generations. He was an idol!
Just when Suri Suri was thinking about whether to run back and try to get acquainted with the person, she saw the guard battalion commander Luo Jiawo running over panting.
As soon as he saw Su Rui, he shouted anxiously: "Commissioner, Chief of Staff Liang asked me to tell you to go back quickly."
"What's up?"
Seeing Luo Jiawo's anxious look, Su Rui couldn't help but be startled and confused. This was Xuzhou. What could happen if hundreds of thousands of national troops gathered here?
"Sir, please go and take a look quickly. Our brigade headquarters is surrounded by a group of students making trouble!" Luo Jiawo ran to Suri and panted heavily, looking very anxious.
Su Rui was even more puzzled, "Why is this? We have just arrived in Xuzhou, why are we involved with those students?"
Luo Jiawo also scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, Chief of Staff Liang asked me to tell you that the matter has something to do with you and only you can solve it!"
