my bright sword career

Just when Gao Hongming and the others were happy about the defeat of the Japanese army, outside the gate of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief welcomed Sun Chu, who had been ordered to discuss matters with the deputy commander-in-chief.

One of these two people is the commander of the Sixth Army, and the other is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army. They naturally know each other. Although they are not familiar with each other, the atmosphere after meeting is good.

The deputy commander personally fetched a glass of water for Sun Chu, and asked with a smile: "Brother Cuiya, you always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why do you have time to come to my small temple today?"

Sun Chu shook his head helplessly, and said angrily, "Brother Shi Chuan, you are asking the question knowingly. Why did I come? You Eighth Route Army didn't force me to do so!"

The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff Teng next to him looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Brother Cuiya, I don't understand what you said. Why did our Eighth Route Army force you?"

Sun Chu was amused by the words of the deputy commander-in-chief, "Brother Shi Chuan, until now you still pretend to be confused. Then tell me, what's the matter with this telegram?"

After that, he took out a telegram from his pocket and slapped it on the table, raising his voice: "If I remember correctly, your Eighth Route Army is still under the jurisdiction of our World War II area? But the attack on Taiyuan is such a big matter, you You didn't even ask for instructions, but told us in a tone of notification, I just want to ask, what are you guys doing?"

Seeing Sun Chu's serious expression, the deputy commander-in-chief also suppressed his smile: "Brother Cuiya, since you're talking about this, I'll say it straight.

I also want to ask, is it wrong for our Eighth Route Army to regain Taiyuan?Since you Jinsui army is incapable of regaining lost ground, why not let others come, what kind of reason is this.

I'm also going to leave my words here today. We are all soldiers, and we always pay attention to the ability of the capable and the mediocre. Since you can't do it, then don't occupy the latrine and don't shit! "

"you……"

Although Sun Chu had long heard that the deputy commander-in-chief had a bad temper, he never expected that he would not give him any face at all. He was so angry that he trembled for a while, pointing at the deputy commander-in-chief, speechless.

Seeing this, Deputy Chief of Staff Teng hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Oh, what are you doing? We are all friendly troops and brother troops. If there is anything you can't say well, do you choke when you meet?
Commander Sun, our boss has always had such a bad temper, and no one will lose face when he is impulsive, so don't take it to heart.

Boss, this time I have to criticize you.Commander Sun is our guest no matter what, how can you, as the host, have any reason to fight with someone as soon as we meet?Is there still a little landlord friendship? "

As expected, Deputy Chief of Staff Teng was in charge of rectification work, and he calmed down the tense atmosphere with a few words, and then he personally poured two cups of coffee for the two of them, and handed Sun Chu a cigarette.

Sun Chu took the cigarette, smelling the fragrant coffee in his nose, he couldn't help but said with lingering anger: "It is said that the life of the Eighth Route Army is hard, I can't see it. Drinking coffee, smoking American cigarettes, These days are simply not too comfortable.”

Deputy Chief of Staff Teng still smiled and said: "Commander Sun, you have wronged us. If our Eighth Route Army can really get American coffee and cigarettes, we won't be eating sweet potatoes and drinking pumpkin porridge every day.

All these things were given to our boss by head Gao Hongming, and I just used my thick skin to eat and drink with the boss. "

"Hey... you pushed it all out."

Although he knew that the other party was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but there were some things that could be seen through without telling the truth.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside first, let's talk about business first."

Sun Chu found that if he continued to entangle in these matters, Yan Xishan might not be able to complete the task assigned by him.

He said sternly to the deputy commander: "About your telegram, after careful consideration, our Commander Yan believes that the restoration of Taiyuan is a major event, how can the Jinsui Army stay out of it.

Therefore, a decision was made that our Jinsui Army can send five temporary divisions and three artillery battalions to participate in this operation this time. "

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff Teng were all stunned.

It wasn't because of the other party's stinginess, on the contrary, but because Yan Laoxi, who was always making a lot of calculations this time, was so generous this time.

Since last year, Yan Xishan has reorganized the Jinsui Army, reorganizing all the troops into 14 infantry divisions and one cavalry division, and the designations range from the temporary 37th division to the temporary 50th division.

This time the World War II Zone Command was willing to draw 5 divisions and [-] artillery battalions from his favorites, which shows that Yan Xishan was really in a hurry this time.

But after being surprised, there will be surprises. If Yan Xishan can really dispatch five divisions to participate in the battle this time, it will be of great help to the Eighth Route Army, and with the participation of the Jinsui Army, it means that the entire World War II zone has participated in this battle. In this battle, they are no longer fighting alone.

After he was happy, Deputy Chief of Staff Teng asked with a smile: "Commander Sun, it is impossible that there are no conditions for such a big effort in the World War II zone this time? You should finish speaking in one breath, so that we can prepare."

"Yeah, just say what you want."

After being told by Deputy Chief of Staff Teng, the deputy commander in chief remembered that Yan Laoxi also had a nickname called Yan Laogou, who was the one who plucked all geese.

He clearly remembered that during the battle of Pingxingguan, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army had personally asked him for help.

Yan Laoxi said it sounded good, but when it came to the truth, he flinched, and in the end he only supported the Eighth Route Army with 50 rounds of ammunition.

Although the 50 rounds of ammunition sounds like a lot, it is evenly distributed to the entire Eighth Route Army. On average, each Eighth Route Army soldier can only be allocated ten rounds of ammunition. In the end, we had to fight the bayonet with the Japanese army.

Although five years have passed since this incident, the deputy commander-in-chief still vividly remembers it.

Seeing the vigilant faces of the two, Sun Chu felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that everyone knew that his boss had a reputation for being stingy.

He thought for a while and said: "What our Chief Yan means is that this attack on Taiyuan City is a big operation, and it is not advisable to fight alone.

It is said that in this battle of Liantai County, your army can resolutely send troops to support Liantai County and form a temporary joint headquarters with the Liantai militia, which is very good.

Chief Yan said, why don't we join the Jinsui Army this time, and the three parties set up a new temporary joint headquarters to command all the troops together. What do you think? "

"The three parties set up a new joint headquarters?" The deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff Tang glanced at each other, and began to weigh the pros and cons psychologically...
