After two successive battles, the entire city of Nanchang showed signs of ruin, especially in the northern part of the city, where the fighting was the fiercest, and after the artillery fire of the independent brigade, it can be said that half of the northern part of the city has been destroyed.

Su Jin sat in a jeep, along the potholed crater slowly towards the east of the city, after the war Nanchang City was full of devastation, everywhere you can see the people who have lost their homes looking at the homes that have become ruins Tao Tao silently wept, looking at these people full of grief, although Su Jin sympathized but also very helpless.

He turned his head to Zhou Yusheng, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Chi Yu, how much food does our brigade have?" ”

Zhou Yusheng was stunned, and then replied quickly: "Are you worried that our food is not enough, you don't have to worry about this, the logistics office just bought a batch of rice last week, which is enough for our brigade to eat for a month or two." ”

"I'm not worried about this!" Su Jin shook his head: "I want to help these people outside." ”

"You want to give food to the people of the city?" Zhou Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Luza, this is absolutely not good." There are more than one million people in Nanchang City, even if we distribute all the food to them, it will be useless, not only will you not do much use in doing this, but it will shake the morale of the army! ”

Seeing Zhou Yusheng's fierce opposition, Su Jin was angry at first, and then he came to his senses. This matter is indeed too impulsive, according to the population base of Nanchang City, even if all the rations of the officers and soldiers of the brigade are sacrificed, it will not be enough for all the people to eat a few meals, and if Su Jin really does this, the troops will have nothing to eat, I am afraid that the hearts of the troops will be scattered.

Thinking of this, Su Jin sighed lightly: "Chi Yu, don't be nervous, I'm just a little emotional." Naturally, they wouldn't do such a ridiculous thing. But I think that although we can't help everyone, we can at least set up some porridge shops, boil some porridge to help some lonely elderly people and children who have difficulty moving, although it is only temporary, but maybe with these measures can also save a few lives, what do you think? ”

Hearing that Su Jin had no impulsiveness, he wanted to distribute all the food to the victims. Zhou Yusheng breathed a long sigh of relief, "This can be had, although our brigade doesn't have too much food, it's no problem to open a few porridge shops, and it doesn't take much food." ”

As he spoke, the car had already driven into a street in the east of the city, and although there were occasional craters on the road, it was much better than before, and there were soldiers patrolling in khaki uniforms everywhere.

The car pulled up to a stop in front of a building. Su Jin and the others walked in, and when they just entered a spacious and messy hall, they saw Shangguan Yunxiang, who was slightly chubby and had an old-fashioned Ren Dan beard, striding over, followed by a group of officers, only to see that others were laughing before they arrived.

"Haha...... Brigadier Su, you are finally here, let us look forward to it so hard! ”

Shangguan Yunxiang laughed and held Su Jin's hand, patted his shoulder hard, turned his head and said loudly to the people behind him, "Everyone has seen it." This is the commander of our heroic unit in this campaign, Su Jin, the commander of the independent brigade who terrified the Japanese. I've heard that the Japanese even gave his unit a nickname. What is it called Jingguan Troops, it can be seen that Brigade Commander Su is powerful! ”

Let's say it, Shangguan Yunxiang laughed again, and the chief laughed at the officers behind him, so naturally they couldn't help but lose face, and they all laughed, but Su Jin saw it very clearly. The smiles of a few people were obviously not so natural, and seeing this, Su Jin's heart was a little more careful.

Su Jin, who has been in the society of later generations for many years, is naturally not the kind of rookie who doesn't know anything, and the warmth and coldness of the world are naturally known, and in the face of such praise from the chief, he naturally can't follow it all. I saw that his face immediately collapsed. He smiled bitterly and said: "The Shangguan chief has an overreputation, and the false reputation of the department is just a soldier's life, plus the love of the officers and colleagues." In fact, if the qualifications are not as good as Commander Chen of the 29th Army, if the combat record is not as good as that of Commander Wang of the 74th Army, and the combat experience is not even comparable to the fingers of the commanders present, how can you dare to pretend to be a big man in front of the commanders! ”

At this time, Su Jin's previous skills as a host came out, and a seemingly realistic performance made many unhappy officers feel a lot more comfortable, it seems that this young man still understands the rules of the army, and he didn't put up a fight in front of these old guys.

Seeing this, Zhou Yusheng, who had been standing behind Su Jin without saying a word, also nodded secretly, although his own brigade occasionally did some inexplicable things, but he was unambiguous in major matters, and he also seemed very experienced in dealing with interpersonal relationships, in Zhou Yusheng's opinion, Su Jin's handling of this aspect was more like a businessman who had worked hard in society for many years.

Just when Zhou Yusheng was thinking nonsense, Shangguan Yunxiang had already introduced the generals behind him to Su Jin.

"Come on...... Come...... Brigade Commander Su, let me introduce you, this is Commander Xia Chuzhong of the 79th Army, this is Commander Liu Duoquan of the 49th Army, this is Commander Wang Dongyuan of the 73rd Army, this is Liu Zhengfu of the newly formed 10th Division, and this is ......"

After introducing it all the way, Su Jin couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart, the youngest officer here is a major general and division commander, and a brigade commander like himself can't see a single one, it seems that the specifications of today's meeting are really high enough.

By the time Su Jin had finished greeting these people one by one, more than ten minutes had passed, and Shangguan Yunxiang let everyone sit down, Su Jin, as a major general and brigade commander, had the lowest rank and position, so he could naturally only sit at the end, and a colonel chief of staff like Zhou Yusheng could only stand.

After waiting for everyone to sit down, Shangguan Yunxiang said with a straight face: "Everyone, it is really not easy to hold this meeting here today, in these days, countless soldiers of the national army have paid the price of their lives, and only then have they recaptured the important town of Nanchang. Please stand now and observe a minute of silence in memory of the martyrs who died in this war! ”

"Whoa!"

The sound of chairs moving sounded in unison, everyone in the hall stood up, took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence, and a solemn atmosphere began to spread in the hall, and many generals heard the many soldiers who died in battle, and even their eyes turned red. And Su Jin, who was standing behind, was even more embarrassed, although this battle was only fought for four or five days, but Su Jin alone collected more than 60,000 points of energy, just this morning, the energy points in Su Jin's mobile phone broke through the 100,000 mark for the first time, reaching an astonishing 130,000 points, which shows the intensity of this battle.

Three minutes later, Shangguan Yunxiang's voice sounded: "After the ceremony, everyone sit down!" ”

"Whoa!"

After everyone sat down, Shangguan Yunxiang stretched out his hand, and the adjutant next to him handed over a folder. After taking the folder, Shangguan Yunxiang said loudly: "Everyone, now I will read out the call from the Military Commission. ”

"Huh!"

The people stood up again in unison.

Shangguan Yunxiang read aloud: "Regarding the telegram of commendation to the troops participating in the Nanchang Campaign: The 73rd Army, 79th Army, 43rd Army, and 29th Army under the 32nd Group Army have made meritorious contributions in the battle to recover Nanchang. Another independent brigade fought bravely in this battle and took the lead in attacking Nanchang City, for which the independent brigade was rewarded with 100,000 legal currency, and the brigade commander Su Jin was awarded a medal of the blue sky and white sun to encourage him! Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin, April 5, 28th year of the Republic of China"

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

After reading it, there was applause below, but before everyone could finish applauding, Shangguan Yunxiang said again: "Everyone, the matter is not over yet, and there is still a telegram that has not been read." ”

After speaking, he turned a page of telegram and read: "The Shandong Independent Security Brigade has made many meritorious achievements in heroic battles since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has reorganized the Independent Brigade in recognition of the heroic behavior of the Independent Brigade after careful consideration!" After being drafted by the Ministry of Military Affairs and examined by the chairman, the independent brigade was specially reorganized into the 202nd Division of the Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was organized into the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Regiment for the A Division, and was awarded the title of Tiger Division, and Su Jin served as the commander of the division! ”

Although the commanders and division commanders of the various units were also a little surprised when they heard that the independent brigade had been changed to a division-level unit, this matter was not too surprising to everyone, after all, with the combat exploits of the independent brigade in recent years, it was a matter of time before it was promoted to a division-level unit, but it was different if it was awarded the title of the Tiger Division.

The tiger has a different status in China since ancient times, and the Han Dynasty had the official position of the tiger Ben Zhonglang general and the tiger Ben Lang, which was used in successive dynasties until the Tang Dynasty was abolished. In ancient times, the generals of the palace guards were called tiger ben, and the warriors were also called tiger ben. Tiger Ben means like a tiger running bravely after a wild beast. Now the code name of the 57th Division of the 74th Army is the Tiger Division, which is also recognized as a first-class main force in the national army, and after Su Jin was awarded the establishment of the 202nd Division, he was even awarded the title of the Tiger Division.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, it seemed that the top authorities valued Su Jin and his troops very much.

Unlike the surprised crowd, Su Jin seemed much calmer, after all, the expansion of the Independent Brigade into a division-level unit was something he had with Xue Yue and Chen Cheng first, and it was also his expectation that he could get this honor today. (To be continued.) )
