Chapter 101 Promotion to Major
Chairman Jiang was also a little unbelievable and asked carefully: "Yunnong, you just said that the remnants of the 367th Regiment destroyed a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army? One, brigade?"
When talking about the word "联团" brigade, Chairman Jiang deliberately emphasized his tone.
Obviously, this has seriously exceeded Chairman Jiang’s imagination.
Before, Zhong Yi commanded half of the Central Army in Jinshan Guard for two days and nights, and killed more than 4,000 Japanese troops. He could still imagine this, but now the 367th Regiment has been defeated by the Japanese army, so Zhong Yi only led more than 400 people to break through. In this case, shouldn’t he escape in a panic?
The more than 100 divisions in western Shanghai were very embarrassed!
But what about Zhong Yi? He just broke through the siege and before he could breathe evenly, he killed the Japanese army and fired a brigade. Although it was an artillery brigade, this was also a brigade!
Chairman Jiang could not imagine how Zhong Yi did it? It was too evil!
At this time, Dai Li also found that he had not made it clear and hurriedly said, "Committee, this is the case. Although what Ajiu said in the telegram was simple, the whole process was still very clear."
Dai Li now told the process of the surprise attack of the remnants of the 367th Regiment.
After listening to Dai Li's narration, everyone in the combat hall suddenly realized.
Especially He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi, he felt relieved.
If Zhong Yi was able to lead more than 400 defeated soldiers of the 367th Regiment and annihilate a Japanese brigade head-on, even if it was just an artillery brigade, it would be too evil! Is that still an individual? But if it was a surprise attack, it could be imagined. Although it was also an exaggeration, it was at least not so evil, and at least it belonged to the category of human beings.
Chairman Jiang said excitedly: "When the 367th Regiment was forced to break through the desperate situation of less than 500 people left, it was able to launch an active offensive, severely damaged the Japanese heavy artillery brigade in one fell swoop, annihilated more than a thousand Japanese artillery soldiers, but also destroyed at least 70 large-caliber heavy artillery in the Japanese army. This is simply a role model for the Party and the State!"
Chairman Jiang's evaluation of Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment has been upgraded again and has become a role model for the Party and the country!
Chen Cheng and others had no different opinions on this. After all, just in terms of this record, Zhong Yi and the remnants of the 367th Regiment can indeed deserve the reputation of being a model of the Party and the country.
Chairman Jiang said again: "Since he is a model of the party and the country, he must be rewarded!"
After pausing, Chairman Jiang said to He Yingqin again: "Jingzhi, your military command will discuss first. What reward should Zhong Yi and the soldiers of the 367th Regiment be given?"
After hearing this, He Yingqin smiled slightly on his face.
He Yingqin is not a die-hard confidant of Chairman Jiang, but he can reach his current high position because of his ability to observe his expression and his contemplation of Chairman Jiang's thoughts.
Chairman Jiang said that he asked the Military Command to discuss it first, but in fact, he asked him to make a statement immediately and publicly.
He Yingqin said at the moment: "Commissioner, given the performance of Zhong Yi and the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment in the Battle of Shanghai, Zhong Yi was awarded the third-class Yunhui Medal, and all the officers and soldiers under him had seventh-class Yunhui Medal?"
It is an exception to awarding Zhong Yi and the third and seventh grade Yunhui medals to the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment.
Because Zhong Yi's rank of lieutenant can only be awarded the fourth grade, the school officials can only be awarded the third grade Yunhui medal, and grassroots soldiers can only be awarded the sixth grade, so this is an extraordinary reward.
Chairman Jiang was satisfied with this and then asked: "So, can we consider promoting Zhong Yi's military rank? In addition, Jinshan County has been lost now, and the existence of the Jinshan County Front Command is no longer suitable, so Zhong Yi, the commander-in-chief of the front-line, seems to be injustice, so, will he be given a new position?"
He Yingqin nodded and said, "What the committee said is very true, it is necessary to promote and arrange a new position."
Chairman Jiang nodded lightly and said, "So, what level of military rank should I be promoted to? What kind of position should I arrange for Zhong Yi?"
He Yingqin thought for a moment and said carefully: "Commissioner, although Zhong Yi performed outstandingly in the Battle of Shanghai, it would be bad if he was promoted too quickly. Moreover, he was just a security captain of Kingsoft Guard before, so he thought it would be better to promote his rank from Army Lieutenant to Army Major?"
"Just just promoted major?" Chairman Jiang said, "Are you low?"
"The commissioner, it's not low!" Chen Cheng interrupted, "If the promotion is too fast, it's not good."
"Ci Xiu is right." Bai Chongxiu also echoed, "This is also a kind of protection for him, to prevent him from taking credit and being arrogant, and to be arrogant, and to avoid being isolated from his colleagues."
Chairman Jiang frowned slightly because what Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi were right.
But Chairman Jiang still wanted to fight for it and said, "The problem is that Jinshan County has been lost now, so it seems inappropriate to command the 367th Regiment in the name of the commander-in-chief of the front enemy of Jinshan County. With the rank of a mere major, I am afraid that I cannot command the remnants of the 367th Regiment, right?"
"This is easy to deal with." Bai Chongxi said, "You can appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment and act as the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment, so that he can command the 367th Regiment legitimately. At least before the new leader of the 367th Regiment takes office, the 367th Regiment must obey his acting chief of staff."
What Bai Chongxi said is indeed a solution.
The rank of the commander of the country is usually colonel, the chief of staff is usually lieutenant colonel, and the chief of staff is usually major, so Bai Chongxi's arrangement is indeed impeccable.
But this is obviously not what Chairman Jiang wants.
What Chairman Jiang wanted was to directly appoint Zhong Yi as the leader of the 367th Regiment.
However, Bai Chongxi said just now that preventing Zhong Yi from being promoted too quickly is also a kind of protection for him, so Chairman Jiang no longer insisted on his own opinion.
Chairman Jiang said now: "That's it."
"Yes!" He Yingqin agreed and turned around and left.
Chairman Jiang said to Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi again: "Ci Xiu and Jian Sheng, back to the topic just now, how to restore the command of the front-line troops as soon as possible? In short, the current chaos cannot continue to spread! Otherwise, the country will be destroyed!"
Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng remained silent. Now I want to save it? It’s too late!
What did you do when you ordered the withdrawal of troops? Now there is nothing you can do!
Bai Chongxi said bluntly: "Committee, it is impossible to restore the command of various troops now. The only thing we can do now is to deploy the defenses on the front line of Hangzhou and Suzhou as soon as possible. But don't let the Japanese army chase our main force's butt and kill directly to Nanjing, which will be a big trouble!"
"Chasing to Nanjing?" Chairman Jiang said, "Not to do it."
Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Sir, be careful where to go!"
Chapter completed!
