Chapter 34 Reporters
At this time, on the army line heading to the Mingguang Front in Nanjing, there was a happy girl. She was wearing a men's suit, a pair of sunglasses, and her hair was stuffed into a hat. She sat in the carriage and hummed happily. The young reporter who was walking with her was trembling in the straw pile: "Xiaoyuan, why are you not afraid of the cold? This time I took you out, the more I thought about it, the more I became, the more scared I had to peel my skin when I went back."
The girl was Li Yuan. The reporter sent by Shi Liangcai this time was Gu Zhizhong, ace young reporter from their newspaper. Unfortunately, this reporter Gu Da is now pursuing a female student from a Chinese and Western female school. The female student happened to be Miss Li's best friend. After Li Yuan and her classmates coerced and tempted, the reporter Gu Da Da was blinded by love and actually took Miss Li to escape from home! They rushed to the left-behind office of the Nanjing First Division. The officers and soldiers of the left-behind office also knew that the division commander was the most welcome and kind to the reporter, so they immediately arranged for them to take the military vehicle that Wangfang was transported to the front line and sent them to the front line.
Li Yuan smiled sweetly: "Okay, Xiao Gu, you helped me this time. I will definitely help you too. If you marry Sister Sheng, Uncle Shi would not make things difficult for you." Gu Zhizhong muttered a few times, and then thought of Sheng Xuehua's appearance and family background, and crawled into the straw pile and smiled foolishly.
Looking at the trees in the village passing outside the carriage, although the cold wind came in through the cracks of the wooden boards, the happy smile on Li Yuan's face could not be blown away: "How could I feel cold? Now my heart is full of heat..."
The periphery of Bengbu is now temporarily in a stalemate. Chen Shanhe was very calm this time, organized firepower and troops, and focused on gradually clearing the positions around Fushan Gorge. The new soldiers were influenced by the war and gradually matured. These troops were already very morale, but they only lacked training and experience. After a few battles with real swords and guns, the new soldiers also became veterans. Some combat skills were naturally learned.
However, the enemy is still very tenacious, especially the old Beiyang in the Fushan Gorge area, which is even more difficult to fight. With the progress of the Second Brigade, it is probably not necessarily possible to break into Bengbu after the Gregorian years. However, Yuchen and the others did not urge Chen Shanhe, but instead restricted him from acting recklessly. What they are only concerned about now is where He Sui's detachment has gone? If they can successfully encircle Bengbu's rear route, this frontier position will collapse without having to fight the enemy.
However, the 5,000-man detour, He Sui, who was just a company commander, could he control the troops? Can he successfully take Guzhen without the supply from the rear? Yuchen's biggest headache was the original communication and contact information. Although there was a radio telegraph, only the division headquarters equipped with a transceiver dismantled from the warships. The contact with the rear was entirely relied on the forwarding and contact of the warships on the Yangtze River. The contact with He Sui was barely maintained by cavalry one or two days ago, but now there is no news! In terms of the improvement of the troops, Yuchen recorded the radio distribution at least to the brigade.
Yuchen was lying on the map. At this time, the sky was not yet completely bright. He held a candle and repeatedly outlined the distance between Guzhen and Bengbu on the map. He calculated where He Sui and the others were. The routine morning shelling suddenly started, and his hand was shaken by the sound of cannons, and a drop of candle oil dripped on his hand. He threw the candle angrily and scolded Ju Niang. He continued to look at the map with wide eyes. The obedient Captain Bai Siwen had already turned on the lantern at this time, and stood behind him with the light.
Yuchen looked at it for a long time and finally rubbed his eyes tiredly. He turned around and smiled gently at Bai Siwen: "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Bai." Bai Siwen suddenly felt two pounds lighter, and tears were almost falling: "Teacher, why are you doing so politely? When we served the commander, we were not considerate and slapped the head and legs up. We also had to stand for him to make a gentle way...... It's not like you, Commander, and you can be considered a big man who has controlled a province. You are still so polite to us..."
Yuchen stopped his words with a smile: "I am not the commander of the former Qing Dynasty, and you are also a soldier now. Soldiers should look like soldiers, not to be a bad listener! You are also a man of seven feet. You have made great contributions to restoring Nanjing and are willing to continue working in the army. I will send you to the company another day and do your best to do a career based on your own abilities!" He waved his hand: "Go, invite the Chief of Staff...... Do it well."
Bai Siwen agreed loudly! His waist was straightened. On him, it seemed that the unique charm of a soldier suddenly appeared. Yuchen shook his head and smiled, and then lay on the map and looked carefully. He did not straighten his waist until he heard the sound of Wu Cai entering the door.
"Niansun, I didn't sleep last night? Drink some water and sit down and talk first."
Wu Cai was also worried: "Teacher, how can you sleep? The disease-free front is the same. Seeing that more than a dozen kilograms of meat were lost, the brothers were worried that the reinforcements from Beiyang would continue... and they were worried that Zhuoran and others would suffer a great loss."
Yuchen threw the pencil in his hand on the map and took a few shots: "It's really rare to fight! If we hadn't had the advantage of our troops and firepower, we would have to suffer a big loss in Bengbu! I'm not worried about Beiyang's continued reinforcement. Beiyang has only a few soldiers, and we must stabilize the situation in the north and will not be transferred again... I'm just worried about Zhuoran! I'm afraid they will suffer losses and it will be bad to swell the spirit of the brigade. It's not easy to cultivate a main force... Nian Sun, do you think the two battalions were drawn from the front and let Lu Fengqiao take them to find reinforcements Zhuoran and others?"
Wu Cai shook his head: "It is not easy to cultivate a main force. If you don't suffer any hardships or experience some dangers, you won't call it the main force. Zhuoran has 5,000 troops and will not suffer any major losses. Besides, we have been maintaining the offensive head-on, and the casualties are also severe, and the troops are very tired. The troops cannot be drawn out."
Yuchen nodded: "You are very right, but I am confused when I care about it, and I think it a little bit out of my mind..." While the two of them were talking, Bai Siwen trotted into the tent: "Report to the division commander and chief of staff, the supply convoy at the station has arrived, and two reporters were brought in, who were reported by Shanghai. He said he wanted to interview the division commander."
Yuchen smiled slightly and looked at Wu Cai. He put his cap on his head: "The uncrowned king is not too slow to take it. The fire in front of him is so fire. They are still coming to interview me, so they are really interested..."
Li Yuan and Gu Zhizhong were arranged to wait in the yard of the military station, but the weather was still so cold. Gu Zhizhong held a hot teacup and stomped his feet. Li Yuan's heart was as pounding as a deer, just thinking about how to talk to him when she saw General Yu. The soldiers at the military station were coming and going, carrying supplies. No one looked at the two reporters in costumes. Gu Zhizhong shook and sighed: "The military appearance is so clean...... The Jiangsu Army First Division is indeed worthy of being called the model unit in the revolutionary army..."
The soldiers in the soldier station suddenly stood at attention and stood up straight salute. Gu Zhizhong and Li Yuan were stunned and immediately looked at the door of the yard. The sun rising in the morning was radiating light from the direction of the door. A tall figure that came in was inlaid with a golden halo.
Li Yuan looked at him blankly, her mind was blank. Yuchen was a little darker than in the photo. She lost her coldness when she was vowed. The smile on her face was very gentle. Her eyebrows were very dark and thick, her eyes were big and bright, and her beard on her lips was already very deep, which made his young face look a little more mature and steady.
Is this handsome young man the most famous general Yu who has been reviving the southeast? Is he standing in front of him so truly?
When Yuchen smiled and shook hands with them, Li Yuan found that she could not say a word. But her heart was beating as if it was about to fly out.
"What is the goal of the general's Northern Expedition? Are you planning to go to Xuzhou only? Rumors outside that the general's Northern Expedition was forced by some forces and was angrily carried out. Are these rumors correct?"
Yuchen and Gu Zhizhong have known each other for a long time, but the question that Gu Da reporter ran over hundreds of miles to ask was really amazing. He is worthy of being the ace reporter for filing. Another young reporter was much more tender, just lowering his head to play with the corner of his clothes.
Yuchen thought about it while drinking tea and laughed: "Brother Liang Yong got off the car. My master has not finished his duties as an uncrowned king...... To Brother Liang Yong, I have always said anything. This time in the north, my first division is to be a pioneer and set an example for other revolutionary troops. Do the strength of the 20,000 soldiers in the division, and knock down wherever we can! Our slogan is to go one inch north, not one mile south!"
After these bold words, Li Yuan's heart thumped again.
"As for the brothers being forced to resign from the supervision, I don't want to say much about this matter. The revolutionary cause has not been achieved. What's the point of saying those words? Since I don't want to see some people's faces, my brothers will go to the front line to do their duty as a soldier!"
