"My mother, Xipi, this Luo Ying has done a great job. He is worthy of being my good son in Huangpu! The lone army held on to the Sihang Warehouse for several days and won every battle. It greatly destroyed the prestige of the Japanese and increased the prestige of the country and the military!"
After the Military Commission officially appointed Luo Ying as Army Colonel (Colonel Quanxu, he was just a position colonel before, which is a huge difference), the 88th Division Independent Regiment was renamed the Solitary Regiment. All officers and soldiers under his command were promoted to one rank and were rewarded with 50,000 yuan in French currency. Luo Ying was individually rewarded. 20,000 British and French currency, to encourage the soldiers of the lone army to make persistent efforts, to persevere in the war of resistance, and to let the friendly countries see the grace of our Huangpu athletes. "
Others suddenly exclaimed that this time the Military Commission's reward for the lone regiment was not heavy. Not only did it give a special honorary title, but it also gave the regiment leader Colonel Luo Yingquan. This honor will accompany Luo Ying throughout his life. Many The students in the third and fourth periods have not yet received the official appointment as Army colonel from the Military Commission, but an eighth-term student has received it. Even these military bosses are a little jealous.
It is said that Luo Ying does not belong to any faction yet, so such a popular person is naturally the target of their wooing, but the premise is that he can come back from the north of Suzhou River alive. They gave him a heavy enough reward, but did not mention how long they would be allowed to stay. Heaven's business does not say how to break through, so people have to think about this.
This army colonel probably needs Luo Ying's life in exchange for it. Now the lone army is surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, and 800 people have suffered a lot of casualties. There are no reinforcements from outside, and there are no supplies inside. It is only time for them to be wiped out by the Japanese. The problem;
Since they are destined to be a dead person, no matter how heavy the reward is, no one will care about them, and there will be no wooing. Who can win over a dead person?
This time, Luo Ying from the Military Commission received the heaviest reward, and his opinions were the most consistent. No one stood up to oppose it. Since they had to sacrifice their lives to pay for it, everyone else would become a better person.
The existence of the Solitary Corps is now a face-saving project. The government not only needs the Solitary Corps to maintain face in the League of Nations, but also needs the Solitary Corps to fight a public opinion war with the Japanese to boost the morale of the people and downplay the negative impact of the withdrawal of troops from the Songhu battlefield. In addition, Luo Ying was very good at causing trouble, which was particularly in line with the appetite of the Political Department. It was said that the Political Department planned to send a military reporter from Suzhou and Henan to the isolated army to cover the whole battle at Sihang Warehouse and severely harvest the morale of the people.
Since it was decided to engage in a propaganda war and a public opinion war, the reward for the Lone Legion would naturally be reported on the front page. With the vigorous activation of the national propaganda machine, Luo Ying and the Lone Legion became almost household heroes, and they were in the limelight for a while. Overshadowing the previous famous general Sun Yuanliang.
Sun Yuanliang, who always likes to ride the wind and waves, will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. The Lone Regiment belongs to the 88th Division's battle order. He takes most of the credit for the establishment of Luo Ying and the Lone Regiment. He immediately decided:
"Chief of Staff, we must strengthen the leadership of the Lone Corps. Now the Lone Corps has become the focus of everyone's attention. Every battle report he releases must be reviewed and approved by the division headquarters, and some heavyweight secret messages will be sent to them. In the past, experts used to send the broadcast content and battle reports released every day to me first for review. This was also for his own good;
Politics is like a tiger. He is still young. Without me to keep him in check, big troubles will occur. "
Zhang Xianghao was instantly in awe of his military throne. The only one who could take credit for it was so magnificent. He said three words of admiration in his heart, and then asked:
"Then who will send this secret code expert?"
Sun Yuanliang already had a candidate in mind. When Zhang Xianghao asked about it, he said without thinking:
"Let Director Hu come over. She has cooperated with Luo Ying before."
One day later, in the concession, Hu Xiaoman, who was wearing a cheongsam, casually walked into a ready-made clothing store. The shopkeeper greeted her very warmly and introduced the new cheongsam to her. Hu Xiaoman seemed not very satisfied, and then the female shopkeeper He led her into the inner room, which seemed to contain the store's goods.
The two of them shook hands with each other after entering, and the shopkeeper said enthusiastically:
"Hello, Comrade Baihu, it's safe here. No. 2 is waiting for you in the inner room. I'm watching from outside."
Hu Xiaoman nodded to the female shopkeeper and walked straight in. Obviously this was not the first time the two had met.
Number 2 is Rabbit’s top leader in the concession, and Hu Xiaoman would not easily ask to see him, so Number 2 is also very curious about this meeting;
Since he was in the enemy camp and time was tight, Hu Xiaoman went straight to the point and reported to No. 2 that he was going to be sent to the lone army.
The top management of Rabbit also attaches great importance to the matter of the Lone Corps. On the one hand, they admire the patriotism of Commander Luo and the Lone Army. It is said that even the teachers praised Luo Ying and called him a patriotic general. They were very critical of the wave of public opinion he initiated at Sihang Warehouse. Offensive praised him highly and praised him as a general with both civil and military skills.
"Xiaoman, have you ever interacted with Captain Luo?"
Number Two asked excitedly.
Hu Xiaoman chuckled and said:
"Not only have we met, but we have also fought with him. This guy is really a good fighter."
After Hu Xiaoman finished speaking, he reported the cooperation between the two in the commando team to No. 2. No. 2 nodded repeatedly and said excitedly:
"Through your introduction and the feats achieved by the lone army in Sihang Warehouse during this period, we can be sure that this Luo Ying is a truly patriotic general. Before the Anti-Japanese War, his position was only a company commander. He was only a company commander in 34 years. After graduating from the Central Military Academy, he had never fought with us rabbits. Even if he had at that time, he was only a platoon leader and played little role.
If you can, try to pull such a patriotic general into our camp. If you go there this time, it will be a good opportunity. I will give you the right to do it cheaply;
You have control over how to operate it specifically. You are an old rabbit. You should be aware of our organizational disciplines. If he has a tendency in this regard, you can bring him over first and become our secret member. After all, this is the period of cooperation between the two parties, and he As a public figure, you must be cautious. "
Hu Xiaoman nodded to express her understanding. She had been working underground for many years, had rich fighting experience and was deeply trusted by the organization;
He also admired Luo Ying's military talents. Naturally, such a patriotic general who could fight would have to find a way to win him over.
The two discussed the details again. In order not to attract other people's attention, Hu Xiaoman only stayed in for a quarter of an hour before coming out;
After accepting the mission of the organization, she went to a secret liaison station of the "CC". With their help, she was successfully sent across the Suzhou River that night. The lone army tied her up with a rope from the south window. She was hoisted in, and a female reporter from the Central News Agency was also sent to her at the same time. This was a political mission arranged by the Organization Department of the Military Commission, and Luo Ying could only welcome it warmly.
Since the Lone Corps became famous, this trouble has also followed. Colonel Quan Xu is not so easy to lead, and two "mother-in-laws" parachuted over in one day.
Hu Xiaoman was a little better. We had fought together before, and there was some friendship forged in the flames of war. In addition, she came on behalf of the master, so she had to be warmly received.
It's a pity that his warm embrace was blocked by Hu Xiaoman seven feet away. He seemed to have forgotten that this was another time and space. In the 1930s, when ethics and ethics were strong, he greeted his comrades with a hug. What do you think?
Faced with Lieutenant Colonel Hu's rejection, Luo Ying could only withdraw her hug with a slight embarrassment, exchanged a salute with her, and said enthusiastically:
"Director Hu, you are welcome to come to the Lone Corps to guide our work."
"I don't dare to give guidance. I haven't seen you for a few months. Commander Luo is already an army colonel appointed by the Military Commission. He is no longer the captain and company commander he was. You were promoted too quickly, right?"
Luo Ying immediately said seriously:
"Ashamed, ashamed. This is all thanks to the teacher's cultivation and the principal's love."
"Colonel Luo, I am not a soldier, and I know that hugging is only a Western etiquette. You just gave Lieutenant Colonel Luo a warm hug. Shouldn't you give me one too? I am a weak little woman who risked her life to come here." In this battlefield filled with artillery fire, I am very scared, and I need your strong arms to comfort me."
If a whispering voice hadn't interrupted their conversation, Luo Ying wouldn't have noticed that there was a female reporter who looked like a fox next to her;
"Reporter Yang, it's nice to meet you. You also said that this is a battlefield with gunfire. Danger is everywhere. You can die here at any time. You, a girl, dare to come here. I admire you very much. I also want to thank my lone army from the Political Department for their kindness.”
After Luo Ying finished speaking, he generously extended a thick hand to her, and Yang Yuchen also handed over his small hand very naturally. The two simply shook hands, and they were considered acquaintances.
A faint smile appeared on Yang Yuchen's lips. She did not expect that Luo Ying, whom she met for the first time, actually threatened her in his words, which surprised her. She believed that she had never offended the little group leader in front of her. This made her, Luo Ying, even more interested. She, Yang Yuchen, had never been one to give up when faced with difficulties, let alone take threats from others.
It's not that Luo Ying had any big objections to Yang Yuchen, it was just that when he saw her, his first reaction reminded him of the female spies in later spy movies, but he didn't know whether they were from the government or the Japanese;
So I gave her a small verbal warning first. This is a lone army here. The outside is full of Japanese soldiers and they are fighting every day. Even if a journalist dies, the Political Department will probably not do anything to him.
A vague smile appeared on Luo Ying's lips. People are really afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Now that everyone is famous, it's getting more and more interesting...
