After successfully crossing the Xiangjiang River, the 34th Division finally got rid of the pursuers behind it.
Everyone relaxed a little.
Commander Chen also quickly reestablished contact with Zhongge and reported the situation of the 34th Division truthfully.
The 34th Division currently has more than 400 people, but its combat strength is only about 300. Almost all the commanders and fighters in the division have died. Except for Commander Chen, the only remaining person with the highest position is a platoon leader.
Commander Chen himself was seriously injured and could not continue to command from the front line and needed to recuperate.
However, Commander Chen still has deep feelings for the 34th Division, and he does not want the establishment of the 34th Division to be cancelled.
Therefore, while reporting the casualties, Yang Dingguo's performance during this period was also reported. There was no exaggeration in the words, everything was true.
Finally, it was proposed that the 34th Division would be temporarily placed under the command of Yang Dingguo.
Mr. Chen is not sure whether his proposal will be adopted.
After all, although the Thirty-fourth Division now only has more than 400 people, its establishment is a real division-level establishment.
It is unprecedented for a young man who has just joined the Red Army to serve as a division commander.
Therefore, when the telegram was sent, Mr. Chen felt a little uneasy.
Looking at Yang Dingguo who was busy not far away, Commander Chen still hoped that his proposal would be approved by the commander-in-chief of Zhongge.
Somehow, Mr. Chen always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. This kid Yang Dingguo would definitely not let him down.
Soon, the call back from Zhongge came. Mr. Chen had been standing by the radio station, so naturally he saw it immediately.
First of all, the Zhongge expressed condolences for the situation of the 34th Division and expressed condolences for the sacrificed soldiers.
Then he ordered Commander Chen to take the wounded with him to move with the Central Revolutionary Army, and the establishment of the 34th Division was temporarily retained.
The commander-in-chief unanimously agreed to Commander Chen's request and allowed Yang Dingguo to temporarily take charge of the remaining soldiers of the 34th Division and temporarily act as the commander of the 100th Regiment.
At the same time, the rear guard task was handed over to other troops, and the 100th Regiment followed the Red Fourth Regiment to lead the way.
After reading Zhongge's reply, Mr. Chen's tense heart finally relaxed.
"Dingguo, come here quickly."
Yang Dingguo, who was busy, heard Mr. Chen's call and trotted over in a hurry.
Looking at the telegram in Master Chen's hand, Yang Dingguo thought something big had happened and asked hurriedly: "Sir, what happened?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, it's no big deal. Now, this is Zhongge's order. Take a look."
Seeing Yang Dingguo's nervous look, Mr. Chen showed a slight smile on his face and handed over the telegram in his hand.
Reaching out to take the telegram, Yang Dingguo felt doubtful.
We are just a small soldier who has just joined the Red Army. Is this what I can read now about the orders of the Central Revolutionary Army?
Watching it from beginning to end with doubts, Yang Dingguo's expression changed extremely richly.
Doubt - sadness - shock - incredible!
After watching it twice, Yang Dingguo still couldn't believe that what he saw was real.
"Teacher, is this a little too fast?"
"Although you, old man, are going to the Army to recuperate, don't we still have Platoon Commander Wang in our division? The position of regimental commander cannot fall to me."
"Don't make fun of me. This joke is too big and I can't catch it."
He had only joined the Red Army for a few months and had already become the regiment commander. This was something that was unlikely to happen even if he had a bald head.
If he hadn't been sure that the teacher Chen in front of him was real, Yang Dingguo would have doubted whether his teacher was possessed by something.
"You kid, would I joke with you about something like this?"
"Isn't it written clearly and plainly? Let me tell you, the commander-in-chief personally agreed to this under great pressure. If you don't do something for me, wait until I recover from my injury. Yes, you kid, hehehe..."
As he spoke, Mr. Chen rubbed his belt twice, and the meaning was self-evident.
Seeing this familiar action, Yang Dingguo shuddered subconsciously.
He remembered the fear of being dominated by his father before time travel. How could Mr. Chen know this trick?
"Please rest assured, Master, I will not let you down!"
Yang Dingguo saluted Mr. Chen solemnly and earnestly.
We are not only time travellers, but we also have a golden finger plug-in. If we cannot pull out a decent team, it will really be an embarrassment to the vast number of time travelers.
Not to mention Mr. Chen, Yang Dingguo himself had to treat himself to peanuts.
Mr. Chen returned the greeting, then patted Yang Dingguo on the shoulder. The two sat down and started chatting.
But mainly Mr. Chen said it and Yang Dingguo listened.
"When I first saw you, boy, I thought you were extraordinary. In such a situation, you resolutely joined the Red Army. Based on this, I have a high opinion of you."
"Especially since the commander-in-chief called specifically to emphasize that you are a talent, I take you even more seriously."
"Next, you will lead our Thirty-Fourth Division. This will also be the first time for new recruits to go into battle..."
Master Chen talked about all kinds of management experience, experience in leading troops in war, etc. without reservation.
He wasn't sure how much Yang Dingguo could listen, but this was the only thing he could do before leaving.
When he was done talking, Master Chen took out another small notebook and handed it to Yang Dingguo, and then got up to check on the condition of the wounded.
"Here are some of my experiences from many years of marching. Take it and take a good look at it when you have nothing to do. It may be of some use."
Yang Dingguo carefully took it over, turned the page, and looked at the small words recorded on it. Looking at these small words, he could imagine the scene of Mr. Chen immersed in recording at that time, and his eyes instantly turned red. He looked up and looked at Mr. Chen didn't know what to say for a moment. He was moved and moved.
Don't worry, Commander, the 34th Division will definitely become stronger in my hands, and I will never embarrass you!
Yang Dingguo couldn't understand why Master Chen and the commander-in-chief had such a deep sense of trust in him in such a short period of time. Could this be the aura of a time traveler?
However, he did not think about this issue for too long.
You treat me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar!
Since you believe in me so much, I will definitely not let you down.
My mission after traveling through time was to make the Red Army stronger, end the war as soon as possible, drive the Japs out of China as soon as possible, and achieve rejuvenation as soon as possible.
Now that the stage has been set up, all I have to do is show off to the best of my ability.
I will definitely let the world know one truth: China will always be a giant dragon entrenched in the east, and no one can underestimate it!
