After the orders were all explained, Tao Jingfei, who had been thinking about the search for the 48th Division, remembered with some hindsight that Du Kaishan, who should be very busy at this time, how could he have time to come to Tianjin by himself? Shouldn't he have been deployed on the Texas front to deal with the follow-up counterattack of the Japanese army?

Looking at Du Kaishan, who looked somewhat decadent in front of him, Tao Jingfei hesitated for a moment before saying: "I said that you, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Jizhong Theater, have time to come to me at this time?" The Jizhong Theater is now in the period of rest and recuperation of the whole army, and I know this matter, and No. 1 has only left me for two days. ”

"But at this time, shouldn't someone of your level be at the busiest time? Rest and recuperation is a matter for the troops, and people of our level have never had much to do with it. In the case that the devil only knows when the Japanese army will launch a counterattack again, you should definitely not be so leisurely and have time to come to me to fight the autumn wind. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Jingfei suddenly remembered something and said: "I said old man, didn't you make any mistakes again and be transferred from your original position." I've read the war briefing, and in the final closing stages of the Eastern Front, you're fighting a little too hard, and you're stretching your hand a little too long. ”

Hearing Tao Jingfei's analysis, Du Kaishan smiled bitterly and said depressedly: "Old man, you guessed really accurately. No. 1 withdrew me and let Lao Chen temporarily take over the Eastern Front troops. As for me, I am now making meritorious contributions, taking those few artillery staff officers around the Bohai Bay and choosing positions for our long-range cannon regiments. Prepare for a landing battle that the Japanese army may take at any time after the Bohai Bay is civilized. ”

Du Kaishan's voice fell, and Tao Jingfei said with some understanding: "From your actions in the final stage of the battle, I know that you kid will definitely stab Lou Zi." With you doing that, in the case of a heavy Japanese army cluster in front of you, you not only transferred your main force to southern Hebei to fight those leftovers, but also openly put your hands into other people's bowls to grab food. ”

"You, when will this donkey temper change at every turn? You've suffered losses more than once on this kind of issue, so why don't you remember it for a long time? That little leftover food in southern Hebei, as for letting you leave the enemy of Texas aside and go over there to show off your might? ”

"The consistent virtue of the little devil, you don't know it. If they really take advantage of the fact that your main force is in southern Hebei, regardless of casualties and fatigue, and concentrate their forces to quickly raid north, I will be dumplings if I can't do it well in Tianjin. Once my side collapses, the recaptured Beiping will be unstable. ”

"Take a hair and put the whole body, you kid is putting the whole army in danger. It's no wonder that No. 1 is so angry that he changed generals at this time. Besides, didn't you run a little enemy army on the Cangzhou battlefield, as for you to use such a big liver fire and run to the bowl of the brother army to grab food? Your tanks, mechanized clusters, are so worthless? ”

Facing the criticism of his old partner, Du Kaishan said depressedly: "Old man, don't talk about it, I'm angry about this matter." To be honest, as soon as the battle of southern Hebei ended, I knew that I would be trained. It's just that I didn't expect that No. 1 would handle it so heavily this time. ”

"This kind of thing of surveying an artillery position can be done by an artillery staff officer, but No. 1 handed over this matter to me. Isn't that overkill? Even if I am not transferred back to the Northeast to take full charge of the Eastern Front like Lao Wang, I can be sent to a secondary battlefield. Even if I go to the Jidong battlefield and be a deputy to Wang Minggui. ”

Regarding Du Kaishan's complaints, Tao Jingfei shook his head and said, "Old Du, it's not me talking about you. You still don't understand No. 1's hard work, if he really removes you, he will directly transfer you back to the Northeast. Now there is a shortage of people everywhere in the Northeast, and there are places to demote you. ”

"If nothing else, is it really difficult to transfer you to the rear as a commander of a second-class military district responsible for training recruits, or even to put you in a military subdivision as a commander in charge of militia and conscription? Now I will leave you on the battlefield in Jizhong, in fact, it is at most a dismissal and retention. He's protecting you, do you know? ”

"Don't forget that Lao Liu, who fought last year, was constantly interrupted and committed the biggest taboo, and was directly replaced by No. 1 and transferred back to the Northeast. said that he was sent to study in the Soviet Union, but in fact he was hung up. I'm afraid that from now on, he will never be able to lift himself on the battlefield again. No. 1 removed you, but still left you on the Jizhong battlefield, which means that he still hasn't finally given up on you. ”

"This dismissal is just to gag people's mouths and teach you some lessons, otherwise No. 1 will transfer you back to the Northeast. When the Japanese army fully counterattacks, No. 1 will still activate yours. And your character, you also give Wang Minggui as a deputy, can he manage you? Don't fool my old comrade-in-arms. ”

"This time No. 1 has such a big fire, and the problem in this is not as simple as it seems. I'm afraid that in addition to the military problems, there is also the fact that you are dealing with the relations with the fraternal forces. You don't want to think that with No. 1's consistent style of protecting calves, and as long as he doesn't make mistakes of principle, he always takes things lightly, and this time he will deal with it so heavily, can it be a purely military issue? ”

"I said Lao Du, why do you always have a bad relationship with the brother troops? When you were in the Northeast, No. 1 transferred you to assist in the reorganization and training of the troops in the Guannai, but you did not have a good relationship with the brother troops who went out of the customs for rectification and training, and you were very stiff several times. There is still no good relationship between entering the customs and cooperating with your brother troops. ”

"I know you're a big-hearted, straight-hearted person, and you don't have so many scheming, so you can say whatever you want. But others don't know that you are such a bull temper who doesn't leave, fights backwards, and eats soft but not hard. You always can't handle interpersonal relationships well, how can you get it in the future? ”

"You kid set up this matter on the Jilu side, and some of the leaders of the Bohai Naval Region who cooperated with us in the battle have all come to me. This time, because of the defeat of the remnants of the army, the relationship with the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was so stiff. You shouldn't have such a temper, how can you cooperate with your brother troops in the future? In fact, if you want me to see it, No. 1 will deal with you lightly this time. ”

"Lao Du, as an old comrade-in-arms and old partner, I want to advise you today. It's better to change your temper, and don't always be so flamboyant and self-righteous in doing things. No. 1 can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime. Do you think about why No. 1 is so angry this time? ”

Regarding Tao Jingfei's persuasion, Du Kaishan smiled bitterly: "Old Tao, I don't understand what you said. During this time, while surveying the coastal defense positions along the Bohai Bay, I wondered why No. 1 was so angry. These days, maybe it's because the sea breeze blows a lot, and many things that I couldn't understand before are now clear. ”

"Lao Tao, you're right, I'm a donkey. The temper that came up was the stone in the pit, which stinked and was hard. I stabbed such a big Lou Zi this time, and I don't have any opinion on how No. 1 deals with me. But I am really a little unwilling to not be in contact with the troops for such a long time. ”

"You know my character, as long as I am with the troops, you can do whatever you want with me. Don't talk about being demoted to be a division commander, even if you are a regiment commander, I will do it. But now that this cold and idle is down, this whole body is uncomfortable. You know me all these years, what kind of person I can be idle. ”

Du Kaishan's words, Tao Jingfei pointed to his nose and said: "Old Du, from what you said, I see that you still haven't figured it out, this sea breeze is still blowing less, and it hasn't been able to completely blow you awake." You seem to have figured it out now, but the bend hasn't been completely turned around. ”

"No. 1 can know that this task given to you can be done by an artillery commander or senior artillery staff officer. Why did No. 1 send you out at this time, isn't it just to let you think about it calmly? If you were still in the army with your character, you would still be able to think clearly. ”

"Lao Du, the two of us will set up a team from the day the army walked out of the mountains and began to expand. Although the time is not too long, the time when the team can be formed is the critical stage of the beginning of the troops. At that time, the army was just starting to start, and it was fighting for survival all day long. The two of us are on the battlefield, and the cooperation can be regarded as tacit understanding. ”

"That experience of sharing honor and disgrace makes you and me not only comrades-in-arms who share life and death, but actually more like brothers. I know your personality and temperament all too well. It is precisely because of that experience that I can only say what I said today, and others have no way to say it, and you won't listen to it. ”

"In terms of age, how many years older than you. Although I don't have the same two times as you in the war, as a big brother, I have experienced some things more than you. Since you're here with me today, let's talk about it behind closed doors. I may not like what I'm saying, but I hope you will listen. ”

"No matter how the army has expanded over the years, you have always served as a military commander, even if you have not even served as a deputy once, you have always fought in important directions. The journey can be said to have been smooth sailing, and basically there have been no major setbacks. Coupled with winning battles again and again, you develop a character that is empty-eyed. ”

"Let's not talk about getting along with the brother troops in Guannai, let's talk about what you have done in our Anti-Japanese Federation in the past few years. You yourself said that in the past few years, apart from me, you and that political cadre can get along well and get along better? Didn't that always cause a bunch of trouble? ”

"You are a capable person, and no one can deny that you can fight. So number one and number three, including number two, have been holding you back. Whether it's your fault or not, when you have a conflict with your political work partner, it is generally the political work cadres who are adjusted, and no matter how much trouble you cause your kid, you are sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai.

"So for a long time, you have developed an arrogant temperament, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you have an arrogant temper. It's like the spoiled kids of the rich kids. looked down on everyone, not only the brother troops in the Guannai, but also his old comrades-in-arms in the same period. thinks that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and no one can compare to himself. ”

"Isn't it because you ran half a division on the Cangzhou battlefield and lost some face in front of Lao Chen? You really don't know anything when I don't know, don't forget the habit of Number One. Every day, the detailed battle situation in other battlefields must be conveyed to cadres at and above the column level of the whole army. Coupled with what I know about you, I knew at that time where the root of your kid's problem was. ”

"Indeed, you kid is capable. Otherwise, No. 1 and No. 3, even including No. 2, won't be able to protect you all the time. In times of war, talent is rare. But you don't want to think about how you got here today. What else can you do besides fighting? Don't you always look down on your comrades-in-arms, if they can do this, no one is as capable as you? ”
