Time passed day by day.In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since Zhang Lieyang commanded the new No.13 Army Group arrived in Yangon!Accompanied by the guards, Zhang Lieyang relaxed as he watched the troops' busy training.Not long after, Liu Fengming walked to Zhang Lieyang's side with the telegram and said, "Lieyang, urgent call from Chongqing! Let you go to Chongqing!"

Hearing Liu Fengming's words, Zhang Lieyang took the telegram and looked at it seriously, and said, "If my guess is correct, this time the Americans called us to fight Iwo Jima!" Just after Zhang Lieyang finished speaking, Liu Fengming looked at the telegram with a puzzled expression. Looking at Zhang Lieyang, he asked: "Lieyang, Iwo Jima is an important outskirts of Japan's mainland!"

Zhang Lieyang nodded and said: "Since we occupied the whole of North Korea! An air force base was set up in North Korea to carry out continuous bombing of the Japanese mainland, which caused serious panic in Japan! Now the Japanese soldiers are very strict in defending North Korea, so we have to To attack the mainland of North Korea, all his outlying strongholds must be wiped out!" Zhang Lieyang stretched out his hand, and Zhang Xianghu, who was on the side, took out the map and handed it to Zhang Lieyang knowingly.

Zhang Lieyang opened the map and said: "You see, Iwo Jima is located in the southern part of the Ogasawara Islands. It is the second largest island in the archipelago. It is more than 1200 kilometers (650 nautical miles) away from the Mariana Islands. The island is about 1100 meters long and 630 meters wide. It is shaped like a ham and covers an area of ​​about 500 square kilometers. In the south of the island, there is an extinct volcano that has not completely cooled down, called Mount Suribachi , 290 meters above sea level, erupting mist all year round, and the smell of sulfur permeates the whole island, hence the name. There is a relatively wide and flat highland to the north of Mount Suribachi, called the Central Highland, and further north, the terrain gradually undulates, and there are several peaks , known as the Wonsan area, most of the island is covered with thick volcanic ash. Although Iwo Jima is a small island with few people, it is located between Tokyo and Saipan, and its strategic position is very important.”

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's familiar introduction, Liu Fengming suddenly felt enlightened. Just when he was about to say something, the confidential staff officer ran up to Zhang Lieyang and said, "Commander! The left chief of staff urgently calls!"

Liu Fengming, who was on the side, looked at the telegram and said, "Lieyang! The Supreme Command is going to set up a frontier defense force based on the quick reaction column, artillery column and four cavalry divisions! Zuo Quan is here to ask for help!" Zhang Lieyang thought about Liu Fengming's words and said, "I think the new No.13 Army should be transferred to Heilongjiang! This will also reduce Lao Jiang's suspicion! At the same time, tell Zuo Quan that Chen Mingren will be the commander of the Heilongjiang Frontier Defense Army, which will be good for him. !"

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Liu Fengming thought for a while and said: "Lieyang, I think you should run away once for this matter!" Zhang Lieyang thought about it and thought what was going on, so he said to Liu Fengming: "Let Jiang Weiguo prepare for it!" , Come back to Chongqing with me! You are here to hurry up training troops, especially for landing operations!"

"Okay! Don't worry!" Liu Fengming said seriously.Hearing Liu Fengming's words, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "Then I can go to Chongqing to enjoy a few days of happiness!" Zhang Lieyang and Liu Fengming laughed loudly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lieyang and Jiang Weiguo boarded the plane and flew to Chongqing.After arriving in Chongqing, Zhang Lieyang said seriously to Jiang Weiguo: "You and I go to the Supreme Command! Just to meet the principal!" Jiang Weiguo thought for a while after hearing Zhang Lieyang's words and said: "Commander, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go?! "

"What's inappropriate! You will report to Chongqing! And according to your conditions, you can do more!" Zhang Lieyang looked around and said, "You know why I give you constant Is it a burden?!" Jiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "Weiguo doesn't know! Please tell the commander clearly!"

Zhang Lieyang took out something and handed it to Jiang Weiguo, saying: "You can see for yourself! Return it to me after you get off the bus!" Zhang Lieyang walked towards the special car that came to pick him up.After getting in the car, Jiang Weiguo took out the document Zhang Lieyang gave him and read it carefully. The first thing that caught his eye was the title of the text "On Future Homeland Defense".After seeing this title, Jiang Weiguo couldn't wait to open it and read it seriously.

Just when Jiang Weiguo was fascinated by reading the document and thinking about things, the car arrived at the Supreme Command!After getting off the car, Jiang Weiguo handed the document back to Zhang Lieyang.Zhang Lieyang took the document and asked: "Read it?!" Jiang Weiguo nodded and said, "It's finished! Weiguo has been educated!" Hearing Jiang Weiguo's words, Zhang Lieyang smiled and put the document in his briefcase and walked into the highest office. The gate of the headquarters.

He Yingqin who was waiting for Zhang Lieyang at the door smiled when he saw Zhang Lieyang and said: "Lieyang, you came so fast!" Hearing what He Yingqin said, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "The principal called, how can I be unhappy?! "He Yingqin heard Zhang Lieyang's words, saw Jiang Weiguo who was following Zhang Lieyang, and said, "Weiguo! Your promotion order has been issued! Congratulations! Now you are suitable as a lieutenant general and division commander! You jumped three ranks in a row. The commander actively fought for you!"

Hearing He Yingqin's words, Jiang Weiguo was stunned.Seeing Jiang Weiguo's reaction, Zhang Lieyang said with a smile: "In our new No.13 Army, there is nothing for nothing! Only if you really show results, even if the Military and Political Department does not give you a promotion, I will find a way to fight for it! So you don't know What burden do you need! Just lead your troops to fight well!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded when he heard Zhang Lieyang's words, and said, "Weiguo understands!" He Yingqin then heard He Yingqin say, "Okay, I've been waiting for a long time! Let's go to the committee's office!" He Yingqin pulled Zhang Lieyang walked to Chiang Kai-shek's office.

Walking into Chiang Kai-shek's office, Zhang Lieyang saluted Chiang Kai-shek with a smile and said, "Zhang Lieyang, the principal student, will report to you!" Hearing Zhang Lieyang's voice, Chiang Kai-shek put down the document in his hand and said, "Lieyang, you are here!" Said Looking at Chiang Kai-shek, he looked at Jiang Weiguo behind Zhang Lieyang and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lieyang to give you a colonel, and you gave me a lieutenant general!"

Hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "This is the result of Weiguo's own efforts!" Zhang Lieyang took out a plan and said: "The principal is now stable in the Northeast! But there are still potential hidden dangers! Students know The principal is in urgent need of elite troops to defend the Northeast! The students want to transfer the four divisions of the new No.13 Army except the 737th Division and the 747th Division, as well as the new 96th Army to the Northeast! This is just a little opinion of the students, and I hope the principal can give me some pointers!" said Zhang Lieyang took out a plan from his briefcase and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek.Hearing what Zhang Lieyang said, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Lieyang and thought about it, then took the document and read it seriously.
