Chapter 348 Complaining
Xi'an First Theater Command Commander's Department

There is a round table in a small room, and a group of people are sitting around the table eating hot pot.

Taking a closer look, the people sitting at the table are not simple, they are all masters who can make a war zone shake three times by stomping their feet.

These people include He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs who was ordered to temporarily preside over the work of the First Theater, Sun Lianzhong, Commander of the Second Army, Pang Bingxun, Commander of the 40th Army, Sun Tongxuan, Commander of the Third Army, Li Tiejun, Commander of the 76th Army, and Guo Jiqiao, Chief of Staff of the First Theater.

It can be said that if something happened to this group of people today, the entire First War Zone would be completely paralyzed.

Even though the country is in crisis and ordinary people can't even afford to eat, these people here are by no means included.

The dishes are thinly sliced ​​mutton, pork liver, large intestine, enoki mushroom, yuba, tofu and other dishes, and the wine is the best Xifeng wine.

It was summer at this time, and a group of people ate so much that their foreheads were sweating.

Li Tiejun took a sip of the soup, then wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and then said: "Not to mention, eating hot pot in this summer really has a special taste."

Sun Lianzhong smiled and put two slices of mutton on the plate in front of him, "Eat more if you like, save more fat, and prepare for entering Zhongtiao Mountain!"

Li Tiejun said angrily, "You must be fattening up."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

He Yingqin put down his chopsticks, and glanced around in front of everyone: "Everyone, Tang Huaiyuan led the Third Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Liantai Militia have been in a stalemate with the Japanese army in Qiuyang County for more than a week. I don't know if your troops are ready to counterattack Are you ready?"

As soon as He Yingqin's words fell, the original voice immediately disappeared without a trace, as if the laughter that filled the room just now had never appeared before, everyone lowered their heads in unison, even Li Tiejun, who was usually the most outspoken He also picked up the empty wine glass and looked at it intently, as if there was something diluting the treasure in the empty glass.

The room was still silent, seeing that no one was talking, He Yingqin frowned, picked up the wine bottle and filled Li Tiejun's glass, and said gently: "Yu Wu, your wine glass is already empty, and you can't change it even if you look at it again." Here comes the wine."

Seeing He Yingqin pouring wine for himself, Li Tiejun couldn't pretend to be stupid no matter how reluctant he was, and hurriedly drank the wine with both hands, and then said helplessly: "Mr. He, the situation of the department is not bad for you." I know. Our 76th Army was originally raised by our stepmother, and grandpa doesn’t love grandma and grandma on weekdays. If we rashly go to Zhongtiao Mountain to participate in the war, it’s not to fight devils, but to die!”

Seeing the aggrieved Li Tiejun, everyone present fell silent. Even if he actually uttered the "rebellious" words raised by the 76th military stepmother in front of He Yingqin, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, no one came out to refute them.

The predecessor of the 76th Army was the First Army of the Hunan Army, and it became the 76th Army after several reorganizations. In the popular words at the time, it belonged to the sequence of miscellaneous troops.

However, the Chongqing government still gave it three divisions for the sake of Cheng Qian, the current leader of the Hunan Army. It has the 8th, 24th and 196th divisions under its command, and the 76th Army is usually responsible for defensive tasks. , Rarely go to the front line to fight the Japanese army.

It stands to reason that no matter how miscellaneous the 76th Army is, there are three divisions with a force of less than [-] troops placed there, and no matter what, they can break their wrists with the devils.

But unfortunately, just last month, the central government reorganized the 57th Division with the strongest combat effectiveness into the 76th Army. In this way, the strength of the [-]th Army was reduced by one-third. Li Tiejun, the commander of the army, was naturally full of complaints.

Today, he took this opportunity to yell out, but what he said was true, even He Yingqin couldn't reprimand him.

Sun Lianzhong, who was on the side, saw that He Yingqin was a bit reluctant to step down, so he quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Brother Yu Wu, we all know that you are very upset that the Central Committee transferred the Eighth Division away, but this is the decision of the Central Committee and it is also for the overall situation of the War of Resistance. Can you vent your anger on Chief He?"

As a second-level general, Sun Lianzhong was not comparable to Li Tiejun in terms of rank, seniority, or military exploits. Li Tiejun could only bow his head and remain silent.

He Yingqin coughed lightly, "Is there anyone else who wants to talk? Today is not a military meeting, and you don't have to worry about it. I, He, have a heart. If you have anything to say, you can speak freely."

At this time, Pang Bingxun raised his head and said slowly: "Since Chief He said so, I, Old Pang, have the courage to ask. Our 40th Army is still short of one rifle, and the average number of bullets for each brother is less than ten rounds. And the military pay has not been paid for several months.

Since the officer wants us to go to the battlefield to fight the devils, don't you have to replenish our ordnance and make up the owed military salary, so that we can go to the battlefield. "

If Li Tiejun is a motley crew, then Pang Bingxun is a motley crew.

Once Feng Yuxiang's favorite general, he fought a few battles with Lao Jiang's Central Army during the Central Plains War. In the end, he failed and was reluctantly reorganized by the Central Committee as the commander of the 40th Army.

After the reorganization, in name the 40th Army has the strength of the 39th Division and the 106th Division, but in fact the 106th Division is not under the command of Pang Bingxun, but is directly commanded by the Beiping Army Branch, so the 40th Army has only three regiments of the 39th Division preparation.

A dignified active-duty army commander can only command 8000 to [-] troops, and Lao Pang is quite aggrieved.

Moreover, Pang Bingxun was over sixty years old at this time, and he was in poor health. He had proposed to resign three times, but was not approved, so he had already had no desires and desires, and he had no fear of He Yingqin, he almost didn't know it. If you don't make up for me, I will stop doing it.

Sure enough, He Yingqin was not angry because of Pang Bingxun's rudeness. Instead, he laughed, pointed at Pang Bingxun and said, "Brother Gengchen, you still have this bad temper after so many years. You are the one with fewer and fewer soldiers."

Faced with He Yingqin's teasing, Pang Bingxun didn't care, "If there are fewer soldiers, there will be fewer soldiers. Anyway, I don't plan to be the commander of this army. If I can't let go of those old brothers who have followed me for many years, I will return to Xinhe a long time ago. I have gone to my hometown for retirement."

If someone else said that, He Yingqin would definitely scoff, but he knew that Pang Bingxun was absolutely sincere when he said this, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "Well, it seems that if I don't reveal the truth to everyone, you won't be relieved of."

Speaking of this, he first looked at Li Tiejun and said seriously: "Yu Wu, the superiors also know that the transfer of the Eighth Division will damage the strength of the 76th Army, so they allocated the 57th Division of the Provisional Division to you. Continue to make new contributions to the party and the country!"

Then he said to Pang Bingxun: "Brother Gengchen, I know that the central government has owed you a little over the years, so the Military and Political Department decided to return the relationship between the 106th Division to the 40th Army and let you take command. Opinion."

Pang Bingxun smacked his mouth, and was about to say something, but a staff officer ran in panting, "Sirs, the No.30 First Division, No.33 Division and No.30 Sixth Division of the Japanese Army have arrived in Qiuyang County, where the No.30 Third Division has launched an attack on the Third Army stationed at Guojialing."

"what?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately woke up from the slight drunkenness!

　I went to see a doctor in the health center yesterday. I never thought that anyone with a fever should go to a fever clinic instead of a general outpatient clinic.

　　The doctor did a nucleic acid and blood test, prescribed a box of antiviral oral liquid and a few ibuprofen, and sent me home, which cost me 15 yuan and [-] cents.

　　At first, I was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that the doctor was too perfunctory. I never thought that after taking the medicine, the fever would be gone today, my muscles would not hurt, and my mental head would improve a lot. It seems that this lady doctor is still a bit capable.
