Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 124 Chen and Song.. (Subscribe)

Shaanxi, Xi'an Railway Station.

"Bang bang bang~!"

There was a knock on the door.

The captain of the garrison company looked up and said, "Who is it? Come in!"

"Hello, sir."

A second lieutenant in the uniform of the Central Army walked into his office with a smile on his face, and then handed him a certificate from his pocket.

The garrison company commander took it and his pupils shrank slightly after a glance.

"Attendant No. 3, are you from Nanjing? Your name is Chen Zejun?"

Chen Zejun nodded and pointed to the group of people behind him: "Yes, I am accompanying the Central News Agency reporter to Taiyuan to interview the recently famous Jin Army general Chu Yunfei, Commander Chu."

"Taiyuan?"

The garrison company commander leaned over slightly and looked over.

There were twenty people in the group.

Half of them are young and beautiful female reporters and accompanying personnel.

The remaining half were guards with automatic rifles and pistols on their waists.

The guards' alert eyes swept around from time to time.

Most likely they have received professional training.

Despite the biting cold wind, he still stood straight, faithfully performing his duties.

He can be a garrison company commander at a station.

Of course, you also need to have the ability to observe people's words and expressions.

These guards are elite.

Attendant three.

The identity of the person in front of you may not be ordinary.

What’s more, his last name is Chen!

The garrison commander raised his eyebrows and kindly reminded: "Taiyuan just fell yesterday, didn't you know?"

"What? That's impossible."

"I just received news before I set out that a Japanese infantry regiment was annihilated in Yangquan."

The captain in front of him remained silent.

Chen Zejun smiled and immediately took out a few silver coins from his pocket and handed them over: "I'm tired from the journey and don't have much information. Please tell me more, brother."

This time he came out to do an easy job.

Send the person there, protect him/her, and then bring him/her back.

If I had known this was the situation, I would have brought a guard company with me.

Took over the ocean.

The garrison company commander smiled.

People from Nanjing are sensible!

Put it in the drawer in front of you.

A flash of disgust flashed across Chen Zejun's eyes.

Then it was well hidden again.

The garrison company commander at Xi'an Railway Station motioned Chen Zemin to sit aside.

For the sake of the ocean.

He was also willing to say a few more words.

Otherwise, he, a central army, would not be able to control the Northeast Army.

"My last name is Wu. Judging from your appearance, you should be younger than me, so I will call you Brother Chen."

"No wonder I said that to you. You came from Nanjing to accompany this group of reporters."

"Propaganda is propaganda, and war reports are war reports. This stuff is just to fool the people and is used for propaganda."

Chen Zejun frowned slightly, and the garrison company commander surnamed Wu added.

"Brother Chen, think about it carefully. Our newspapers and radio stations say we are winning battles every day. How can we lose more territory the more we win battles?"

"From Beijing, Tianjin, to Chahar, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Datong, and now Taiyuan."

Captain Wu handed over a cigarette as he spoke.

"Thank you, Brother Wu..I don't know how to..."

Captain Wu smiled dumbly and said jokingly, "A soldier who doesn't smoke? That's really rare~!"

The Battle of Xinkou lasted for a month.

The Japanese army was unable to make a breakthrough.

The Japanese army had been fighting in the Battle of Shanxi for three full months.

The city of Taiyuan has never been conquered despite numerous sieges throughout history.

Instead, the defenders will be starved to death outside the city of Taiyuan.

The Battle of Taiyuan had only just begun a few days ago.

Just lost like that!
Naturally, Chen Zejun was reluctant to believe it. How could this be possible?

Could it be fake news deliberately released by the Japanese and puppet regimes?
"But I heard that when Commander Yan from the Second War Zone governed SX, the surrounding defense lines were reinforced for a full thirty years. There were countless bunkers, both visible and hidden. For example, the city wall was more than three meters high."

This captain also seems to be well-informed.

He glanced around and whispered, "If we win battles every day, how can we lose Taiyuan?"

"The Japanese are not simple, they are not that easy to deal with!"

While the two were talking.

Suddenly, a shrill air raid sirens sounded in the station.

Captain Wu seemed to be used to this situation. He quickly rushed out of the office and stood on the platform and shouted, "Don't take any of your things. Go to the basement!"

"Stop moving the shit, you idiot. You have no use for these things. Get all of them into the basement!"

"Where are the anti-aircraft machine guns? Beat those sons of bitches!"

Captain Wu held a cigarette in one hand and issued military orders loudly.

The staff in the station evacuated nearby and went into the air-raid shelter.

Although Captain Wu is just a small garrison company commander.

But his personal abilities are really good.

While arranging the air defense evacuation work, he also had enough energy to take care of these noble people from Jinling.

"Slow down, don't rush, this is a blind spot for Japanese fighter planes to strafe."

"Don't push, damn it, I told you not to push, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"Stop pushing, the Japs can't bomb here!"

boom!
A gunshot rang out. Captain Wu took a deep breath and cursed angrily, "Whoever is pushing us here and there, I'll shoot him!"

"Da da da da~!"

Not far away, the sounds of anti-aircraft machine guns and the strafing of Japanese planes were heard.

"Brother, excuse me, you are a bunch of stinky "soldiers". It's good enough that you didn't pee your pants when you saw the Japanese planes."

Captain Wu extinguished the cigarette in his hand and continued, "However, Taiyuan is really gone. If you want to interview Commander Chu, you'd better find a way to get in touch with the theater headquarters..."

Chen Zejun nodded.

At this time, the favorable impression towards the garrison company commander named Wu increased a lot.

Hiding from air raids is also very boring... Workers and soldiers are everywhere under the dim lights.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Zejun asked, "Brother Wu seems to have been a soldier for many years, how come?"

Seeing Chen Zejun hesitated to speak, the garrison commander laughed and said, "Why are you still a small company commander?"

"Yes!"

Chen Zejun admitted it generously.

In his opinion, Captain Wu is quite capable.

During the Japanese air raid on the station.

In fact, he only has two choices.

The rush to transport supplies will result in a large number of casualties.

Failure to transport goods in a timely manner will result in huge losses.

Essentially.

There is no right choice or incorrect choice.

Hesitation will only result in greater losses.

Stay calm in times of crisis and make decisions quickly.
This is an excellent quality for a commander to possess.

"Our regiment commander is the division commander's brother-in-law, and the battalion commander is the regiment commander's brother-in-law."

"I, your brother, have no one above me, so I can only be a small company commander, right?"

"But our battalion commander is a man of justice, so I, Old Wu, will do the same with him."

"When he is promoted to regimental commander, will he promote you to battalion commander?"

The garrison commander surnamed Wu was also very happy, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "He is about the same age as me... and he doesn't have a daughter to marry me."

"Besides, nepotism and factions are everywhere nowadays. Isn't it the same with your Central Army?"

Chen Zejun was silent for a moment.

Lies cannot hurt people, the truth comes quickly.

Even his uncle in the clan was called CC faction in KMT.

He was able to study at the Whampoa Military Academy.
It also relies on the help of the so-called "faction".

Chen Zejun sighed: "That's true." "Well, if you can't change this kind of thing, just learn to accept it."

The two had a good chat
Chen Zejun is also a passionate young man.

In front of Captain Wu, he denounced the dangers of numerous factions.

I feel deeply sorry for the infighting among the various armies.

Just as Chen Zejun opened up and was about to give advice again.

A smaller woman in a white fur-collared coat walked over and asked softly, "Zejun...are you okay?"

After Chen Zejun heard the voice.

He smiled at Captain Wu to express his apology.

He turned around and walked towards the woman: "Sister Wenying, how are you guys? Are you not bumped into or anything?"

Song Wenying smiled slightly, shook her head, and whispered: "Fortunately, we hid in the underground air-raid shelter... You should thank Captain Wu a lot."

"Well, I understand."

Song Wenying.

She was the female assistant who had followed He Manli to interview Chu Yunfei.

The big eyes are lively and bright, shining brightly.

The almond-shaped eyes are upturned and slightly charming.

Very attractive (crossed out) and popular with men.

This time.

Knowing that the situation in Taiyuan is tense.

But Song Wenying didn't just follow.

I also asked Chen Zejun to escort me.
What can I say? You have some brains.

But not much.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought only a dozen people.
Not long after.

The soldiers from the air defense platoon came to report.

"Reporting to the company commander, we have successfully driven out the Japanese troops. Four people in my platoon were killed and two were seriously injured... It is highly likely that they will not survive tonight."

Captain Wu sighed and said, "I understand. Register them, contact the pension office, and send the money over."

"Yes!"

He Manli walked out quickly and gestured to the camera on her chest: "Sir...can we take a few photos?"

"You can take pictures, but don't stand on the railway, it's very dangerous!"

After waiting for others to leave, several others and their entourage slowly walked out of the air-raid shelter.

Accompanied by Captain Wu.

They saw the so-called anti-aircraft positions
It is said to be an air defense position.

In reality, it was just a bunker made of sandbags, with only a quadruple Maxim machine gun inside.
Chen Zejun attended military school.

Naturally, they knew that such field air defense weapons posed no threat to Japanese fighter planes.

"Hey~!"

A long sigh expressed regret for the lack of military strength.

It is also a mourning for the victims.

Zejun, Zejun!
When will the national army’s military power be able to lead the world?

The party-state in his mind.
When will we be able to step onto the world stage as a powerful country?

Chen Zejun.

Unable to see the future.

This time, there were ruffians everywhere, and the defeated soldiers were in a disorderly manner, causing chaos and wreaking havoc on the area.

It was not until Shaanxi that the situation began to improve slightly.

however.

Even a party and state elite like Captain Wu would have to take money before he was willing to give him some advice.

Corruption within the national army.

Sprouting everywhere.

Problems of faction and nepotism.

Everywhere.

The National Army is not a modern army, let alone a qualified army.

Reform is needed!
We must reform from top to bottom!

They want to resign and be removed from office.

Even to wield a butcher knife.

Pity me.

I, Chen Zejun, am just a small second lieutenant.

Even if I have one day.

If there really is a chance.

Can I take action against my elders who have given me advice, or even my family members and clansmen who are closer than blood?

Think of this.

Chen Zejun sighed heavily
How difficult it is!

not far away.

Miss Manli recorded the scene of Xi'an Railway Station being attacked by the Japanese army with an expressionless face.

But there was a hint of worry and sadness on his brow that could not be hidden no matter what.

Death is the main theme of war.

far away.

A large number of soldiers, police and workers quickly stepped forward.

The division of labor is clear.

Some went to put out the burning supplies.

Others were cleaning up the railways and platforms damaged by the air raids.

The train responsible for repairing the railway quickly entered the station, with rails installed on both sides, and it was obvious that it was ready.

Once it was discovered that a railway had been cut off by Japanese warplanes, it would be repaired immediately on the spot.

With the cooperation of her actual garrison, He Manli quickly recorded these precious scenes.

His assistant Song Wenying's face was pale at this time.

Her already delicate little face turned red from the cold.

Standing aside, feeling a little overwhelmed.

It also adds a touch of pity.

In reality, she is just a fashionable young lady who has just returned home.

It was because of his admiration for Chu Yunfei that he became a reporter assistant, or intern reporter, for a newspaper.

It's like the longing of falling in love for the first time.

Of course I have never seen such a scene.

The strong smell of blood assaulted her senses.

I just felt my stomach churning.

After a while, he vomited all over the floor.

"Ugh~!"

"Sister Wenying, are you okay?"

Song Wenying waved her hands quickly and said, "I'm fine."

Her poor performance made Captain Wu grumble: "Whose daughter has never seen a dead person?"

"Sister Wenying, this is the battlefield. Your uncle has told you before."

"The battlefield has never been a romantic place. Everything you've read in storybooks since childhood is a lie."

Song Wenying nodded somewhat dazedly.

It was just an air raid, with only a few casualties.

It's already so tragic.

And what would the scene be like at the Xinkou front, where 100,000 people had already sacrificed their lives?

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
No..maybe that's hell on earth!

"Sister Wenying, are you still going?"

Song Wenying did not hesitate and nodded firmly: "Go to Zejun, send a telegram to Nanjing and ask them to help us contact the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters."

After saying that, he turned to look at He Manli who was busy not far away, and walked over with firm steps.

"Sister Manli, be careful behind you."

Slightly touching her hair, Song Wenying asked softly, "Is there anything I can help with?"

He Manli smiled and said, "That's a lot... Let's start with the basics. Xiao Sun, take Miss Song to interview the workers."

"Sister Manli, you can just call me Wenying. I'm your assistant."

He Manli was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay, Wenying"

Song Wenying smiled and took out the notebook and pen that she had been holding.
This is her first interview.

It is also from this moment.

She seems to have really become a qualified assistant. Also known as a qualified intern reporter.
