Chapter 18: Chairman Jiang Summons!
General Zhao Dengyu, with the Russians and other soldiers, quickly arrived at the No. 1 position. A soldier yelled loudly from a distance: "The brigade is here!"
Zhang Xinghan and the members of the Big Sword Team who were lying on the ground quickly stood up and began to form two teams under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Heita.
At this time, General Zhao Dengyu walked over with a happy look on his face.
"Travel! The fourth company of the Big Sword Team has completed the task successfully. Now I ask you to return to the team! Salute!" Zhang Xinghan took the lead and said loudly.
After saying that, dozens of soldiers stood up and saluted, all of them raised their heads and chests, sweeping away their tiredness just now.
"Welcome to return to the team!" General Zhao Dengyu also responded with a serious look on his face.
"Horseman! There is also good news. This time Zhang Wazi shot and killed a Japanese general in one fell swoop." As soon as General Zhao Dengyu finished speaking, the squad leader Zhao Heita said with excitement.
"What? Kill a Japanese general?" General Zhao Dengyu was obviously shocked when he heard this.
"Yes! The military rank is a major general. I guess it may be the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade, Mito Suzuki, this old devil who is raised by the bitch!" Zhao Heita nodded.
"Xing Han! Is this matter true?" General Zhao Dengyu asked directly.
"Reporting to the brigade, there is indeed such a matter. Bei Yi not only killed a major Japanese general, but also seized the general's sword of the major Japanese general." Zhang Xinghan replied with a stern expression.
"Yes! There is also a general sword." Zhao Heita suddenly remembered and nodded repeatedly.
As he said that, Zhang Xinghan took out the seized handle and walked up to him and handed it to General Zhao Dengyu.
After taking the sword, General Zhao Dengyu looked carefully and saw that the sword was extremely delicate and sharp, and it seemed that the blade was faintly filled with cold air. The most important thing was that on the handle of the sword, there was an imperial gift engraved on one side and the other side was the name of Mito Suzuki. Of course, it was in Japanese.
To a large part, Japanese plagiarizes Chinese characters. To be precise, it should have plagiarized several radicals of Chinese characters.
So General Zhao Dengyu was able to roughly understand the words on the hilt, and he could understand after thinking about it.
"Xinghan! This time, you made the most brilliant military achievements. Since the beginning of the September 18th Incident, our army has never even killed a Japanese assistant. Today, you shot a Japanese major general with one shot, which is enough to be famous for your reputation! I want to ask for you and ask Chairman Jiang of Nanjing for his contribution! You are the biggest hero of our 29th Army!" General Zhao Dengyu said excitedly.
"Host! Killing the enemy and serving the country is the responsibility of the Han Dynasty. I never thought of getting promoted and making money. As long as I can fight the Japanese, I can do anything." Zhang Xinghan said righteously. In fact, what he said was his heart. Indeed, now that the country is in trouble and the nation is in danger, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, he does not want to kill the enemy and serve the country and defend the territory. Do you still want to get promoted and make money?
If the country is gone and the family is gone, what's the use of being a huge official? In the face of national interests, everything has to be compromised.
"No! Xinghan, you are wrong! Killing the Japanese Major General is a great achievement, not for you to ask for me for no reason. Moreover, such inspiring news can strengthen the confidence of our nationwide anti-Japanese military and civilians, and can also inspire the morale and determination to resist the troops and the determination to resist in the front line of the Great Wall! Therefore, both public and private, this achievement must be requested." Zhao Dengyu waved his hand and said.
"It depends on the brigade seat!" Zhang Xinghan knew that he could not refuse, and indeed, once the news of killing the major general of the Japanese was spread, the whole country would be excited. The greatest effect would be to encourage the morale of the frontline troops and increase the confidence of the national army in combat in Japan.
However, Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Dengyu didn't know that it was today's move that created a leader of the anti-Japanese tiger and elite army on the land of China in the future, and began a legendary iron-blooded anti-Japanese war journey.

Nanjing, Military Commission Operations Office.
The battle hall was full of stars. Chairman Chiang held a military meeting this time, with the main purpose of discussing and preparing for the fifth anti-communist operation.
Since the Kuomintang's previous attacks on the Communist Party's Central Soviet Area ended in failure in the past few times, Chairman Chiang had already begun to prepare for the fifth encirclement and suppression.
As for the fierce Great Wall War in the north, Chairman Jiang knew very well that the various forces of the Great Wall were mixed, and the Northeast Army, the Shanxi Sui Army, the Central Army, and other units were mixed, making it difficult to implement unified and effective command operations.
Moreover, the equipment of the defenders along the Great Wall was too poor, but Xu Tingyao's 17th Army was better, but when facing the Japanese army, which had airplanes in the sky and heavy artillery on the ground, they were still willing but not capable.
Therefore, Chairman Jiang understood that it was a matter of time before the fall of the Great Wall line. The reason why Zhang Xueliang resisted resolutely was nothing more than to appease the people across the country and let them know that the government was fighting against Japan.
Chairman Jiang’s biggest concern at this point is not the Japanese. In his opinion, he must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries, and he is also actively preparing to implement this self-definite basic national defense strategy.
Regarding the war situation in the north, in addition to the seemingly encouraging the troops to fight to the death and defend the Great Wall defense line to the death, to show the government's determination to fight against Japan, Chairman Chiang secretly sent his confidant He Yingqin to Peiping to seek opportunities to negotiate with the Japanese army and sign a ceasefire agreement.
Just as Chairman Jiang was passionately instilling in the microphone, he instilled his fighting policy and spirit of suppressing the Communists in the microphone, the Chief of Guard Wang Shihe walked in quickly with a telegram. After a few words in his ear.
Chairman Jiang was shocked at first, then happy, and asked in a low voice: "Is the news true?"
"It's true! Before reporting to you, the staff of the Secret Service and Shenyang Station sent a secret message, saying that as early as this morning, the Japanese Kwantung Army reported a top-secret information to the base camp, including this matter." The Chief of Guard Wang Shihe replied respectfully.
"Haha! OK! Fight beautifully!" Chairman Jiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, good news has been heard from the north. A soldier from the 109th Brigade of the 37th Division killed a major general of the Japanese army in one fell swoop in the battle last night. The Supreme Commander of the rank of enemy since the September 18th Incident."
"Commission! This news is no less than a great victory in Xifengkou! It is a humble position. Commission should commend this person, look at the role model and inspire the morale of the soldiers of the entire army!" General Chen Cheng, general of the 18th Army, stood up and suggested.
At this time, Chen Cheng was highly valued by Chairman Jiang, and he was also a backbone of the Huangpu Party, and his status in the National Government rose sharply.
"Yeah!" Chairman Jiang nodded after hearing this, and then said to Wang Shihe: "Call back to Song Zheyuan. Three days later, I will go to Baoding and let the generals of the Xifengkou victory arrive in Baoding. I will personally commend you. In addition, I will bring the soldier who killed the Japanese major general. What is the name of?"
"Report to the commission! This person's name is Zhang Xinghan."
"Oh! Take Zhang Xinghan with you to Baoding!" Chairman Jiang nodded.
"Yes!" Wang Shihe responded, then turned around and left quickly.
Chapter completed!
