Chapter 184

People voted me peaches, and Li Chong felt that he should reward me with Qiongyao.

So Li Chong made another stone tablet with the headline "Wenfu Temple Suppression of Bandits", which records the whole story of the bandit suppression in detail. Go to the stone tablet, and then let those bandits carry it to the Wenfu Temple with great fanfare.

Good things will go out, and this wave of action by the first battalion has spread throughout the towns and villages. Everyone knows that the first battalion suppressed the local bandits and the local gentry sent a silk banner.

Of course, everyone knows what's going on, but many people admire Li Chong's moves. Can make money and food in an open and aboveboard manner.

Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the first battalion taking the local money and food, and the local gentry had no objection, and even presented a silk banner.

Now the two sides get along very well, and they have become a role model for our generation!

This set of means is totally worth learning from.

Unlike before, when I reached out to ask the local gentry for money and food, there would be some unpleasant conflicts.

Two days later, Li Chong rode a fast horse and offered a hundred oceans to Commander Xu in the name of going to the regiment headquarters to report on his work.When he came to the regiment headquarters for the second time, Li Chong obviously felt that others looked at him no longer with the meaning of looking at a stupid boy.

When leaving, the head of the regiment personally sent Li Chong out of the gate of the regiment headquarters.

The days are getting closer and closer to the end of the month, and it is almost 1939.

In the army, New Year's Day benefits were distributed one after another, cans of meat were knocked open, and they collided with each other, celebrating that they had survived the bruised and bruised year of 1938.

For this reason, the chairman also delivered an impassioned speech on the "Central Daily".

As a result, on the second day, which was the penultimate day of the year, Wang Zhaoming, a former Kuomintang leader, tore off the last fig leaf of the Chongqing Center, and published a "colorful report" publicly treasonous vote.

Now everyone in the world knew about it, and Li Chong didn't know how fierce the outside reaction was, but the army was quite stable.

This has to be attributed to the fact that the chairman of the committee has always firmly grasped the power of the army by virtue of his qualifications in the military academy during the prime minister's time. In contrast, Lao Wang did not have much influence in the army.

The performance of the officers and soldiers in the battalion stunned Li Chong, because there was no sign of depression among the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level that he had imagined before.

However, when the three company commanders talked about it with a mocking tone while drinking, Li Chong understood.

When the Sichuan army was not out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, it had been at odds with the Central Army. Naturally, it was not convinced by the government, including now.Since I didn't have high expectations from the beginning, I can't talk about disappointment now.

As a small battalion commander on the front line, it's not my turn to worry about this kind of turmoil, and there is a happy thing coming.

The letter Li Chong wrote to his family and Lin Wanru more than 20 days ago finally received a reply. The envelope only had a serial number, but no address. Li Chong received from the First Battalion of the Regiment."

In fact, the serial number is the address, as long as the serial number and name are written, the army's communication can be delivered, although it will take a little longer.

Letters from parents and Lin Wanru were each stuffed into the same envelope, and they were bulging and heavy in their hands.Li Chong opened the envelope carefully, and poured out two folded letters.

Opened the first copy, it was written by my father, it was about trivial matters at home, it was a full three sheets of paper.The main point is that now the second brother Zhixin takes Lin Wanru's car to go to school every day, and also attends a school. As for the third sister Yuanxiu, she is still young, and her father is still teaching how to read. In the evening, I taught my younger sister some new things. For example, in foreign language, when greeting people in the morning, they would say "dog head and cat ridge". My father also expressed his confusion. Why do foreigners bring dogs and cats when they greet each other in the morning?
Although they were all small things in life, Li Chong felt very warm watching them.

Putting down the letter written by his father, Li Chong opened Lin Wanru's letter.When I opened it, I suddenly found that the words on the letter were more and more similar to my own, except for the sharpness of the outline, there was a little more feminine grace.

Lin Wanru's letters are very complicated, perhaps because she wants to express a lot of words on the limited paper, and the tone of the narrative is constantly changing, sometimes childish, sometimes very rational.

Li Chong looked funny at times, and worried at times, especially when Chongqing was under bombardment again, and Lin Wanru wrote in the letter:

".The newspaper said that Emperor Hirohito of Japan held an imperial meeting and clearly ordered that the aviation operations against Chongqing can directly attack civilians."

Japan threw away all the pretense of humanity. Apart from constantly telling his family and Lin Wanru to be careful when traveling, Li Chong could only bury his anger in his heart and vent it on the battlefield.

As the days passed, the recruits of the first battalion had lost the anger they had when they entered the camp, and because of the three meals a day, many recruits were raised stronger than when they came.

After January, the New Year is getting closer and closer.Chinese people never regard New Year's Eve as New Year's Eve. Whether it's in the enemy-occupied areas or the rear areas, what is recognized is the Lunar New Year passed down from their ancestors.

At noon on New Year's Eve, Li Chong first rushed to the regiment headquarters. After the three battalion commanders had a meal with the regiment commander and the staff of the regiment headquarters, they returned to the battalion headquarters at night and had a New Year's Eve banquet in the battalion headquarters compound.

Chenjiahe Village outside the barracks.

No matter how poor they are, as long as there is still a place to stay, they will turn on the lights, serve hot meals and sit together in these difficult days.

In the dark night, thousands of households reveal a yellow light.

Bit by bit, dispel the darkness and wait for the dawn.

However, this kind of reunion atmosphere of bitterness and joy will probably never belong to a small group of people who are burdened with huge decision-making and pressure to contribute their wisdom.

For example, in the newly established National Defense Supreme Committee of the National Government, the think tanks of the subordinate staff gathered together in the office and had a meal together before returning to their respective jobs.

Because after the Wuhan battle in late October, the Japanese army remained silent for a long time, like the calm before another storm.Recently, according to intelligence, there are signs of a large-scale massing of the Japanese army. These people are thinking hard about which move the Japanese army will take next and how the Chinese army should be deployed.The national government has now shrunk to the rear, and there is no way to retreat, so every big battle must be cautious.

Also thinking about it is General Xue Boling, the commander of the Ninth War Zone, who is eating the New Year's Eve dinner and still staring at the topographic map of Nanchang surroundings hanging on the wall.

As a frontline general, he has the intuition that war is coming.

After the Battle of Wuhan, in early November, he was promoted to the commander of the Ninth War Zone, and a stabbing feeling was on his back. Since then, a map of the whole country has been printed in his brain. It marks the current front of the Japanese army.

Now the 30 Japanese troops stationed in Wuhan have penetrated more than 800 kilometers into the interior. The entire Japanese army's front is like the head of a long snake, but its tail is more than [-] kilometers away in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Delta. opened a long front.

Anyone who knows a little about military affairs understands that this front line is too long, stretching for eight hundred miles, and it is easy to die in the middle.

Because of this, the Japanese army must expand the living space of the Japanese army stationed in Wuhan!
