"Zheng Yong, the major general of the 11th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, made great contributions in the Great Wall to fight. He fought bravely with the Japanese pirates under the disadvantaged forces, killed the three soldiers of the Japanese chief, Nakagawa, and killed countless enemies. He specially awarded a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal!"

Nanjing Railway Station, May 28, 22, the Republic of China.

Among the crowds that welcomed the "triumphant return" of the 11th Division, Kong Xiangxi, Vice President of the Administration of the National Government, personally awarded Zheng Yong the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

The spotlights can be seen flashing everywhere, and the crowds of cheering everywhere can be seen.

Zheng Yong showed some sarcastic smiles at the corner of his mouth.

This is the people who welcome themselves to "triumphantly", and this is the people who welcome a victorious army in all walks of life, but in their own eyes, it is the biggest satire of themselves and the 11th Division.

Yes, a great victory was achieved, but what was lost was the most favorable opportunity to block the Japanese pirates outside the Great Wall...

"General Zheng, all walks of life in Nanjing welcome General Zheng and the soldiers of the invincible 11th Division of the Army. The officers and soldiers of your troops fought bravely, which made the islanders frightened..."

The delicate voice said, while putting a bouquet of flowers in Zheng Yong's hands.

"General Zheng, I am a reporter from the Central Daily News. This time, the 11th Division annihilated the 14th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Pirates, and successfully broke through under the unfavorable situation of encirclement. May I ask..."

What Zheng Yong wants to do most now is to throw the flowers in his hand on the reporter's face. In his opinion, the reporter's question was the biggest insult to him.

It is obvious that this reporter had received some instructions in advance, and particularly emphasized that the 11th Division was under "stricken siege" and could only successfully "break through" with "tenacity and bloody battles"...

After finally getting out of the train station, he got into Kong Xiangxi's car. As soon as the car started, Kong Xiangxi sighed.

"Teacher Zheng, your disaster this time is a big deal."

Zheng Yong smiled bitterly, yes, this time he was a big disaster, a big victory.

"The Chairman was very angry. He scolded you several times to show off your courage, and almost wiped out the entire 11th Division. It delayed the overall plan of the War of Resistance." Kong Xiangxi said this seriously and suddenly smiled again.

"But finally killed the three Bingwei Nakagawa, severely attacking the 14th Mixed Brigade of the Island Country, greatly delaying the advancement of the Island Country Army and giving me time to adjust and deploy, so my merits and demerits are offset, and I probably won't delve into your faults..."

Zheng Yong shook his head slightly, and now he is really scared when he thinks about it.

If there is a slight mistake during the military operation to annihilate the 14th Brigade, or if the 14th Brigade cannot be damaged, it is probably not as simple as "deciding the merits and demerits".

At this time, a look of regret flashed across Kong Xiangxi's face.

"Teacher Zheng, do you know? After the victory of Lengkou Pass, the Chairman was very happy. In addition, the German-style division is currently the top priority. The Chairman is preparing to recommend that you be promoted to lieutenant general. Lieutenant general in his twenties has never been in the history of our country's Democratic Revolutionary Army..."

"Zheng Yong failed the Chairman's cultivation." Zheng Yong said against his will.

"Forget it, forget it, you are still young, there are many opportunities in the future." Kong Xiangxi patted his shoulder: "I will see the chairman later, don't argue for yourself, be humble, the chairman still value you very much. By the way, Ling Yi is back and has been clamoring to see you, the hero of the enemy. If you have time, go to my place for a meal..."

This reminded Zheng Yong, have the batch of chariots and motorcycles purchased by Kong Xiangxi have arrived?

He originally wanted to ask Kong Xiangxi, but when he thought of seeing the chairman, he might have suffered some storm and rain. He swallowed the words he said to himself again...

"I don't want to see this person. I don't have such subordinates who disobey orders!"

The Chairman's words came out from the inside, and there was anger in his words, which made Zheng Yong, who had been waiting outside for more than an hour, feel relieved. It seemed that he was doomed today.

Looking at the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal that had just hung on my chest, Zheng Yong felt that it was extremely ironic.

On the one hand, there is a grand welcome from the station and a serious award, and on the other hand, there is a angrily scolding from the chairman. This is simply a game.

After a while, the voice inside gradually lowered, and then the chairman's attendant and adjutant walked out and winked at Zheng Yong.

"Teacher Zheng, go in and stop making the commission angry."

Zheng Yongzheng put his military uniform in hand, pushed open the door and walked in, and then carefully covered the door with his backhand.

"Report……"

"Don't report, don't report, go to your cold mouth and continue your great cause of fighting the enemy!" Before Zheng Yong finished speaking, the chairman said angrily.

"Commissioner, Zheng Yong was wrong!"

"Wrong? No, you are not wrong! You are a hero against the enemy, you are the hope of China's future, you will not be wrong, I am the entire National Government!"

The angrily cursed like a storm made Zheng Yong unable to answer his mouth and could only stand up straight.

After a long time, the chairman finished scolding, he said coldly.

"Say, what's wrong with me?"

Zheng Yong's "Ba" stood at attention: "Zheng Yong's mistake was that he should not make any decisions. After defeating the Japanese pirates at Lengkou Pass, he continued to go deeper, almost causing our 11th Division to be surrounded by the island army, thus losing our elite troops. At the same time..."

"Okay, okay, you're not talking about it. Are you perfunctorily trying to deal with me? In fact, you still blame me in your heart." The chairman interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his words.

"I don't deny that you can fight, you can fight, and you often win battles, but you can't understand my painstaking efforts at all. You have let my high hopes for you."

After taking a look at Zheng Yong who was standing straight, Chairman's tone eased a lot.

"As a soldier, obedience is the duty. A unit can fight, but without the support of the government, there may only be one final outcome, that is, a complete failure.

I have a responsibility for this. You are not my student. I have not taught you well. Since I came to Nanjing, I have lacked effective guidance for you. This is why I will not punish you this time..."

Zheng Yong knew that he had passed this time.

First there was a stick and then a candy. It seemed that the chairman had no intention of punishing himself in the morning.

Fortunately, the 11th Division did not suffer any major casualties, and also annihilated the 14th mixed brigade, which also added luster to the Chairman's face...

"Young people crawl too fast and will fall, so this time, we will not give special appointments to your military achievements." The chairman said confirming Kong Xiangxi's words, and he saw the lieutenant general flying.

"This, let's talk about it. What's the difference between fighting Japanese pirates this time and when I was in Fengtian?"

"It's really a big difference when you go back to the committee." After a little bit of thought, Zheng Yong said.

"Compared to when we were in Fengtian, the Japanese pirates were equipped with more sophisticated and more targeted in combat. And our troops on the front line were far inferior in terms of weapons and equipment and personnel quality..."

The chairman nodded while listening carefully.

"Yes, this is the gap between China and Japan. For China at present, time and time are the most important. Only by mastering enough time can we finally complete the great cause of fighting the enemy..."

As he said that, he glanced at Zheng Yong, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Song Zheyuan's 29th Army won some victories at Xifengkou and killed some island troops. But they were a whole army, and friendly troops helped them. Although it was worth congratulating, it was not worthy of gratitude.

At critical moments, you have to rely on the Central Army and the German-style division. One of your 11th Divisions of Zheng Yong annihilated a brigade of the island army and killed the brigade commander of the Japanese pirates. It seems that it is correct to follow the German-style division."

Zheng Yong didn't know how to answer the Chairman.

Yes, I won the victory, but this victory was caused by the island army's unaware that a German armed division had quietly arrived on the battlefield, and was completely unsuitable for the new tactics of the 11th Division, and its own arrogance.

At the same time, this victory is inseparable from the full cooperation of the 139th Division.

If the brothers of the 139th Division were not willing to sacrifice themselves, without regrets, and constantly stabilize the victory achieved by the 11th Division with their inferior equipment, perhaps the miracle of annihilation of the 14th Mixed Brigade of the Island Army would not have happened.

However, in the Chairman's words, the achievements of the 139th Division have been completely erased, and all the contributions and victories were achieved by the German-style division under the leadership of the Chairman.

The medal on his chest was stained with the blood of the officers and soldiers of the 139th Division...

"Okay, go back and have a good rest." The chairman waved his hand and said.
Chapter completed!
