There is a bay called Zhujia Temple 3 kilometers south of the boundary mouth of Xiaojieling, there is a temple with a thousand-year-old white fruit tree in the bay, and the military headquarters of the 30th Army is in this temple with a thousand-year-old white fruit tree, which is also the destination of this trip to Tangcheng. It's just that Tang Cheng didn't know that the headquarters of the 71st Army was also in that temple, and Song Xilian, who commanded the 71st Army, was drinking and chatting with Tian Zhennan, the commander of the 30th Army, under the white fruit tree in the temple at this time.

"Yin Guo, this is the soldier of your 71st Army." After three toasts in a row, Tian Zhennan gave a thumbs up to Song Xilian, "The Japanese army fought in Fujin Mountain lost their armor, even if they retreated to this small boundary ridge, they are still bullish, and my Lao Tian admires your 71st Army very much." Tian Zhennan's words made Song Xilian confused, he and Tian Zhennan were both in the army, but Tian Zhennan was above Song Xilian in terms of seniority and age, Tian Zhennan suddenly came out with such a few words, Song Xilian was really a little confused.

Xu saw Song Xilian's confusion, Tian Zhennan smiled very happily, "Yin Guo, if you want to talk about this, I have to thank your 88th Division, if it weren't for Zhong Bin who couldn't bear the toss of those old men in the Ministry of Military Affairs, maybe this baby wouldn't have been picked up by Lao Tzu's 30th Army." Song Xilian became more and more puzzled by Tian Zhennan's words, why did this involve the 88th Division again?

Raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, threw two peanuts into his mouth, and the triumphant Tian Zhennan revealed the mystery for Song Xilian, "Isn't our 30th Army ordered to collect the people in the area of Xiaojieling these days, the telegram just now came from the troops in front, saying that a unit killed a small team of the Japanese army in Hexi Village, and also captured four radio stations and some things recorded in Japanese, which will be sent here." Guess who that troop is? Tian Zhennan's question made Song Xilian at a loss.

"For that, I'll have to toast you." Tian Zhennan filled the wine for Song Xilian, and the two clinked glasses and drank it in a big gulp, but Song Xilian was still waiting for him to uncover the most difficult mystery. "This unit is a member of your 71st Army, an infantry company left in Wuhan by the 88th Division to rest, and when the Ministry of Military Affairs put them on the side of the 30th Army, I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but now it seems that the company commander who led the troops offended people in Wuhan, but I picked up a treasure."

Tian Zhennan's words made Song Xilian a little breathless, the troops of my 71st Army were transferred to your 30th Army to help fight the war, and they also killed a small team of Japanese soldiers at one time and captured four radio stations, so it is rare for a company with such combat strength to be found in the 71st Army. "Do you know the exact number of that infantry company?" Song Xilian, who had already aroused Tian Zhennan's interest, took a sip of wine and asked continuously. It was already known that the army was subordinate to the 71st Army, and Song Xilian was anxious to know the specific situation of the infantry company.

Seeing that Song Xilian began to fidget, Tian Zhennan was happy, and when he mentioned this matter while drinking, Tian Zhennan was playing Song Xilian's idea. The 71st Army fought well in Fujin Mountain, and I heard that even the chairman's wife went to the front line of Fujin Mountain to offer condolences, especially when he met with Song Xilian.

"Send a report to the 88th Division and ask about the situation of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 524th Regiment." finally left the courtyard by urinating, and Song Xilian, who was already slightly drunk, called his combat staff officer and asked him to send a report to ask Zhong Bin about the second company. "What's the matter, my people from the 71st Army helped Tian Heizi fight, and he still wants to tease me about this, and he makes me angry." Song Xilian, who was so angry, didn't drink anymore, and waited directly in the telecommunications room for Zhong Bin's palindrome.

Zhong Bin, who received the telegram from the military department, was also dumbfounded, Tang Cheng was just a small captain and company commander, how could even the army commander know about him, how could this kid be so tossed, this was all tossed to the army commander. But the telegram was sent by order of the army commander, and Zhong Bin didn't dare to hide it, so he sent Song Xilian 1510 about what he had learned in Macheng before. After getting the information sent by Zhong Bin by telegram, Song Xilian calmed down and carefully looked at the translated telegrams, and a whole stack of telegrams was sorted out like a book by Song Xilian's operational staff officers.

"This kid is really a member of our 71st Army" Zhong Bin said in the telegram that the lion of Tangcheng and Shanghai were incorporated into the second company, and explained the reason why the second company broke away from the 1st battalion and did not appear in the Sixing warehouse, Song Xilian had to admit that Tian Zhennan's joke just now was indeed right, and the troops who helped the 30th Army to make great contributions were indeed their 71st Army. "This kid is only 20 years old? Even the rank of captain was promoted in the line of fire, and he also fought in Nanjing. ”

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Song Xilian became more and more annoyed the more he looked at it, although Tang Cheng was not very old, he was also a veteran, not to mention that Tang Cheng had not only fought in Shanghai and Nanjing, but also Tang Cheng had a good record in Mengcheng and Macheng. Such a member of the tiger general, how can Zhong Bin be pushed to the side of the 30th Army, now it is the extreme crisis of the country's survival, as long as this Tang City can fight, and what can be done if it is hard to top up with the Ministry of Military Affairs, is it possible that the 71st Army is still afraid of those villains in the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"Send a few people to guard the intersection outside, if Tang Cheng comes, bring them to me immediately." Song Xilian didn't want Tian Zhennan to be so happy all the time, so he ordered his combat staff officers to send people to guard the intersection into Wanzi. Song Xilian didn't meet Tang Cheng to pull the second company back to the 71st Army, the second company came to Xiaojieling to get the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and rashly pulling the second company back to the 71st Army would only offend Tian Zhennan and the Ministry of Military Affairs at the same time, Song Xilian would just want to see this Tang City.

Tang Cheng, who was galloping on his horse, didn't know what to do, he just wanted to send the radio station and the bag of papers to the military headquarters as soon as possible, and then go back to join Niu Laogui and them, and the second company was his home. When they were about to reach Wanzi along the dirt road, several national soldiers wearing German-style steel helmets appeared on the side of the road, and the lieutenant at the head stood directly in the middle of the road.

"It's the Tang Cheng Company Commander of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division?" There were still a few meters away from the lieutenant in the middle of the road, Tang Cheng and the others stopped their horses, but the lieutenant's words made Tang Cheng a little surprised. He just knew that the military headquarters of the 30th Army was in this bay, but he didn't know that the military headquarters of the 71st Army was also here, but how could the people of the 30th Army know the number of the second company so well? And what are they here for?

When Tang Cheng nodded and admitted his unit number and identity, the lieutenant standing in the middle of the road was happy, this Tang Cheng looked really small enough. "Then come with me, we are from the military headquarters of the 71st Army, and the military seat wants to see you." Unexpectedly, he could meet the people of the 71st Army here, and Tang Cheng on horseback could only control the speed of the horse and follow the lieutenant all the way into the big temple. "Now I'll wait here, I'll go in and report it." Leaving the horse outside the temple, Tang Cheng and the others stood in the place designated by the lieutenant and waited for Song Xilian to summon him.

Tang Cheng was covered in blood when they hit Hexi Village, and then they trekked all the way to Wanzi, Tang Cheng and they had no time to clean up the blood stains on their military uniforms except for washing their faces in a hurry. 6 guys covered in the smell of blood stood straight outside Song Xilian's headquarters, and the military personnel in the big temple looked back and forth, and a few female soldiers pointed at Tang Cheng and laughed loudly, and the black face of the old northeast became more and more black like the bottom of the pot.

"I said I wouldn't come, you wanted me to come, now it's okay, let people see it as a monkey." Lao Dongbei was angry, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tang Cheng. The lieutenant who stopped them at the intersection had been in for a while, and no one had come out to deal with them, which was obviously meant to test them. Although Tang Cheng's military career was short, he didn't listen to the commentaries when he was in Beiping, and in the mouths of those storytellers, those marshals always like to pose for the majesty of the generals under the killers, Song Xilian would never have thought that Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the door, would actually see his temptation without a teacher.

"Don't move, this is someone testing us, as soon as you move, we will fall behind, you don't want to be promoted? If you want to be promoted, just listen to me and stand and don't move. "To deal with an official fan like Lao Northeast, you can only hold him if you talk about promotions, and this trick has been perfected by Tang Cheng. Sure enough, although Lao Dongbei was still muttering in a low voice, he could be regarded as standing and not moving after listening to Tang Cheng.

"The military seat asked Company Commander Tang to go in, and you guys will go with me to eat something first." The lieutenant who led the way for them before finally came out, but unfortunately he didn't have Tang Cheng's share of eating and resting, and he wanted to go in to see Song Xilian. Tang Cheng didn't know who the commander of the 71st Army was, and from the moment Zhong Bin didn't dare to disobey the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs and push the second company to the 30th Army, Tang Cheng lost interest in the affairs of the 88th Division and even the 71st Army. What he wants in his heart is to live with the people of the second company, as for the commander of the 71st Army, what is he doing.

Entering the room, Tang Cheng was a little dumbfounded, there were more than a dozen officers in the room, and half of the officers in it did not have any marks on their collars, he didn't know which one was the commander of the 71st Army. "Tang Cheng, the commander of the 88th Company of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 2nd Division, was ordered to come and ask the army commander for instructions." Tang Cheng, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to salute first, and then loudly reported the number of the second company, and what he said most was to ask the commander to instruct, whoever answered in this room was the commander of the 71st Army.

Song Xilian, who has been looking at Tang Cheng from the corner of his eye, Zhong Bin has already said in the telegram that Tang Cheng is only 20 years old, but Song Xilian didn't expect Tang Cheng to be so young, judging from his face, Tang Cheng looks at most eighteen or nineteen years old. Letting Tang Cheng and them stand outside the house for a quarter of an hour was really Song Xilian's troubles and temptations, and he didn't expect that a guy of Tang Cheng's size would be so calm, no wonder Erlian could be restored after being damaged several times.
