"Who is Mr. Yan?" Zhang Baiting noticed that this was the third time the sentry mentioned Mr. Yan.
Moreover, when the sentry mentioned Mr. Yan, he showed a proud look on his face. Obviously, he respected and loved this Mr. Yan very much.
This is something Zhang Baiting has never seen before.
He has never been so loved by soldiers in the 88th Division.
"Mr. Yan is Mr. Yan." The sentry snorted, "Now we all listen to Mr. Yan."
"He's right." Chen Shunong snorted coldly, "Zhu Shengzhong and the others don't know if they were kicked in the head by a donkey, but they actually listened to the command of an unknown person."
Zhang Baiting's mood is inevitably a bit complicated.
It's only been a few days since he left Sihang Warehouse?
The troops actually refused to obey his command as the chief of staff?
However, thinking about the record of Yang Deyu's 1st Platoon under the command of "Mr. Yan", Zhang Baiting felt that everything made sense. What soldier wouldn't want to follow a capable commander?
After all, these security regiment members have not yet been officially incorporated into the 88th Division.
At that moment, Zhang Baiting said calmly, "Excuse me."
"Wait." The sentry snorted coldly and asked another sentry to report.
After a while, the sentry came back and led Zhang Baiting and Chen Shunong into the first floor of the east building. However, the four accompanying guards were stopped by the sentry and failed to enter the Sihang Warehouse.
The guns of Chen Shunong and Chen Shunong were also removed.
"Commissioner Chen, we meet again."
"This must be Chief of Staff Zhang, right?"
Yan Yan smiled and bowed to Chen Shunong and Chen Shunong.
Chen Shunong just snorted and did not respond.
This is to remember the grudge of being expelled by the other party last time.
Zhang Baiting clasped his fists in front of Yan Yan and responded with a bow.
"Are you the one directing the battle in these two days?"
"I heard from Commissioner Chen that you are a returned overseas Chinese?"
"Did you attend a military academy abroad? Have you been a soldier?"
Zhang Baiting asked five questions in a row before finally stopping.
Yan Jun smiled and said: "Chief of Staff Zhang, which question do you want me to answer?"
"Uh, I'm really sorry, I lost my composure." Zhang Baiting laughed at himself, "It's mainly because your performance at Sihang Warehouse in the past two days shocked me. It was so shocking. I have never seen a commander like you."
The group of motley veterans behind Yan Yan looked proud.
It seemed that Zhang Baiting was not praising Jing Jun, but a few of them.
Chen Shunong became a little impatient. He was not here to brag about Yan.
At that moment, Chen Shunong said with a straight face: "Chief of Staff Zhang, let's get down to business."
"Yes." Zhang Baiting responded, and then said to Yan Yan, "Your name is Yan Yan, right?"
"Yes, the situation is very serious." Yan Yan said in a deep voice, "Just like the situation of the National Government at this time."
"Stop talking about these useless things." Chen Shunong said, "The reason why the national government is in a serious situation is not because of your disobedience. As long as you withdraw from the Sihang Warehouse and don't make it difficult for the foreigners in the public concession, the national government will Naturally we can repair relations with Western countries, and our situation will naturally improve."
"Ah, childish thinking." To Chen Shunong, Yan Yan was not polite at all.
"You've come to this point, and you still think that as long as you lick foreigners to make them comfortable, you can save China?"
"Why do you speak so harshly? What does it mean to feel comfortable licking a foreigner? Who licked him?"
Chen Shunong directly broke through the defense. He really wanted to take out his gun and kill Yan Yan on the spot, but he knew that he did not have this ability. If he had this ability, he would have killed Yan Yan last time.
But Chen Shunong felt that Zhang Baiting had this ability.
Because Zhang Baiting is the current chief of staff of the 88th Division, Yang Deyu, Wu Jie and even Zhu Shengzhong will definitely listen to him. As long as he gives orders, Yan Jun alone cannot change the world.
At that moment, Chen Shunong urged again: "Chief of Staff Zhang, what are you waiting for?"
Zhang Baiting sighed and said to Yan Yan: "Mr. Yan, you are a returned overseas Chinese, and you must have received formal military school education abroad. The most important thing is that you are a military genius, so I hope you will not sacrifice yourself casually, but We should leave a useful body behind and make greater contributions to China’s war of resistance.”
"Lao Yan, I didn't lie to you, did I? I just said that I would appreciate you if you come here."
Accompanied by the sound of talking, Wu Jie walked over from the small door on the middle wall.
Behind Wu Jie were Yang Deyu and Zhu Shengzhong.
Yan Yan did not deliberately hide this from Wu Jie and Yang Deyu.
It was no longer necessary as he had complete control of the troops.
Now, Zhang Baiting, the chief of staff, can no longer pull away the troops.
"Take a seat, Commissioner!" Wu Jie and the other three stood up and saluted.
Chen Shunong still ignored him, but Zhang Baiting returned the military salute.
When returning the gift, Zhang Baiting was still in a daze, because the mental states on the faces of Wu Jie, Yang Deyu and Zhu Shengzhong made him feel strange.
I remember that when they left last time, they all looked sad, angry, depressed and even desperate.
But this time when they saw each other again, the look of depression and despair on their faces had been wiped away, replaced by expressions of excitement or arrogance.
Is this all brought to them by severity?
In this way, he is really not very qualified as chief of staff.
At least Yan Yan did better than him in this battle at Sihang Warehouse.
However, Zhang Baiting quickly broke away from this trance.
"Of course I appreciate it, and I also appreciate every overseas Chinese who is capable and willing to fight for the country."
Zhang Baiting's eyes turned serious again: "Mr. Yan, as long as you are willing, I can appoint you as the company commander of the 88th Division's special agent company now. Of course, you can also stay at the division's headquarters as a combat staff officer."
"Then what?" A stern look turned to Wu Jie and the three of them, "Where are Wu Wenwen, Lao Yang, Lao Zhu, and the more than fifty brothers from the 1st Platoon? There are also the more than 300 brothers from the 1st Battalion who are detained in the Hebin Building. What should I do, brother?"
These words were very heartbreaking, and the faces of Yang Deyu, Wu Jie and Zhu Shengzhong turned gloomy.
Zhang Baiting was speechless, because it was indeed his fault and he had failed his brothers.
"What kind of detention? It's temporary stationing, temporary stationing!" Chen Shunong said angrily, "It's temporary stationing! After a period of time, the concession will be released, and the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment will be allowed to return to the west of Shanghai to resume work. Do you understand?"
"Temporarily stationed? Ha." Turning to Zhang Baiting with a stern look, "Chief of Staff Zhang, do you believe it?"
Zhang Baiting evaded the important point and said: "Special Commissioner, I and the division commander are working hard to mediate. The theater commander and even the Chairman of the Standing Committee will come forward to negotiate with the concession. In short, there are more than 300 soldiers of the 1st Battalion and you 1st Platoon. More than 50 of our brothers will definitely return to Huxi and return to the 88th Division, I guarantee this."
"Chief of Staff Zhang, you can't guarantee that. You're not qualified." The truth was revealed harshly and coldly.
"From the beginning, the government decided to leave a force in Sihang Warehouse to continue the war of resistance, just to sing a sad drama to win the sympathy of Western countries, hoping that politicians from the Western countries would support the government at the League of Nations conference out of pity, and Or provide assistance to the government out of sympathy, do you agree with this?"
"Now this force has finished its performance, has completed its mission, and has no use value."
"Because the evacuation route to the west of Shanghai was cut off, the Japanese army issued an ultimatum to the concession, which turned this unit into a hot spot, a burden, and a negative asset. If it is not handled well, it will affect the government and the concession. relations, which in turn affects the relationship between the government and Western countries and hinders the government from seeking assistance."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Shunong said in horror, "You know nothing!"
Yan Jun ignored Chen Shunong's clamor and just stared at Zhang Baiting and said: "Chief of Staff Zhang, do you think the government will do this for a troop of less than 400 people, a troop that has lost its use value, a troop that has become a burden and a burden?" Will the government’s indebted troops offend foreigners?”
Zhang Baiting could only respond with silence, he had no way to argue.
But Zhu Shengzhong said it for him: "The government doesn't know how to do it, and the person named Chang can't do it even more!"
"Zhu Shengzhong, shut up!" Chen Shunong said in horror, "Don't criticize the leader behind his back."
Zhu Shengzhong ignored Chen Shunong and only said to Zhang Baiting: "The surnamed Chang will only order us to put down our weapons and let us obey the foreigners' arrangements and be prisoners, just like the Northern Expedition in Jinan."
"Presumptuous!" Chen Shunong subconsciously reached out and touched his waist.
But he came up empty-handed. His pistol had long been confiscated by the sentry.
