Chiang Kai-shek's face turned gloomy and snorted coldly: "The three regiments of the teaching corps cannot take the delegation mountain position that one battalion defends, but they were taken to the command center by others. How did Gui Shuzhen command?"

The face of He Yingqin, the Minister of Military Affairs, followed by Chiang Kai-shek, became a little embarrassed. Gui Yongqing was the number one general of He, and his face was not as good as his performance. He was about to speak out for his niece and son-in-law. At this time, the German general counsel Falkenhouse, who was standing next to General Zhang, spoke in a big way.

The translator translated and said, "Chairman and General Consultant said that this delegation mountain defense battle was the biggest highlight of the exercise so far. A battalion can block the attack of three regiments and wait for an opportunity to use a capable small force to raid the opponent's command. He admired the courage and wit of the commander of this battalion, and was also happy that the chairman had such excellent grassroots commanders. The General Consultant also said that after the exercise, he wanted to meet the battalion commander very much and discuss the tactics of this defense battle with him."

After hearing this passage, Chiang Kai-shek's expression suddenly looked much better. He asked German consultants to come to China one by one to help him train troops and guide tactics. What he usually hears the most is the criticism of Chinese officers by German consultants. Today, when he heard the general consultant's comments on a battalion commander, he felt very proud and smiled: "Not only the general consultant wants to meet this battalion commander, I also want to meet him."

While the translator was translating with Farkenhouse, Chiang Kai-shek turned his head and asked Zhang Zhizhong: "Is this battalion commander involved in the Battle of Songhu?"

Zhang Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's words, and immediately replied with a smile: "The Chairman, the battalion commander, is a graduate of the ninth phase of the Central Military Academy, but he did participate in the Battle of Songhu."

"A graduate of the ninth class?" Chiang Kai-shek was also stunned. Although the Whampoa officer was his direct line of Jiang, in a direct line of troops like the 88th Division, it was not unhappy for the ninth class student who graduated the previous year to become a battalion commander. However, he was immediately relieved. An officer like this who could block the day and night of the teaching corps should be promoted to an extraordinary promotion.

Zhang Zhizhong also continued to explain to Chiang Kai-shek with a smile: "His name is Shen Xiuwen, who is a recruiter in the ninth period. He was the first place when he entered the exam and the first place after graduation. He is a rare talent."

"Oh, so, Wenbai, you know him quite well." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly became interested in Shen Xiuwen and said with great interest.

Zhang Zhizhong looked behind Chiang Kai-shek and smiled and said, "Zhongliang didn't come today. Shen Xiuwen is Zhongliang's younger brother. The chairman's hometown has talents."

"It turned out to be Zhongliang's younger brother. Zhongliang never said this to me. OK, OK, very good." Chiang Kai-shek seemed very happy and said three good words in a row. Even the general consultant praised the battalion commander, who was his fellow countryman. From Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi, Shen Xiude in the first phase, Qiu Qingquan in the second phase, except Dai Li in the sixth phase, Zhejiang-born Huangpu students rarely have outstanding tasks. Now a Shen Xiuwen appeared, which really made the committee member grow up with a long face.

"Yes, Shen Xiuwen can perform such an outstanding performance in the exercise, which is really a good general. I think it is even better than Zhongliang back then." He Yingqin also said with a smile. He had already secretly recorded Shen Xiuwen's name, but when he heard that Shen Xiuwen was Chairman Jiang's fellow townsman and Shen Xiude's younger brother, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​preparing to suppress him in the future. Everyone was carrying the flower sedan chair. This young hero who had already entered the Chairman's eyes would still win over more in the future.

At this time, Chen Xiuwen, who was on the Tuanshan position, couldn't help but sneeze. At this time, he was nervously defending the position. Qiao Zhen, the leader of the referee group of the army, had become Chen Xiuwen's chief of staff, and actively helped Chen Xiuwen out suggestions. After all, he was a top student in the staff department of the German Army University. Many of Chen Xiuwen's wild ideas have been sorted and revised by him, making Chen Xiuwen's ideas more operational in implementation.

From the morning, the teaching corps was crazy and launched a fierce attack on the Tuanshan position, and even attacked the frontier positions several times. However, relying on the forces arranged in the fox pit and the second ring fortification, the teaching corps finally defeated the six consecutive attacks launched by the teaching corps, destroying nearly two of their battalions. However, Chen Xiuwen's first battalion suffered a lot of casualties. In less than a morning, the second company, which originally replaced Cheng Dean's third company, was crippled, and almost all of the company withdrew from the exercise. When the first company raided the command center of the teaching corps last night, the second platoon, which had the strongest combat power, had withdrawn from the exercise, and only two platoons were left. If the regiment commander Zhu Chi had not personally brought the second battalion to reinforce, the Tuanshan position would have changed hands long ago.

However, when Zhu Chi came to Chen Xiuwen's battalion command center, she saw Qiao Zhen, the leader of the referee team, sticking his butt to help the work on the picture, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Not to mention that the referee team could not intervene in the specific command of the exercise, Qiao Zhen, when he joined the brigade of the 264th Brigade, had always looked like he was aloof and destined to resist people from thousands of miles away. Unexpectedly, since yesterday he volunteered to come to the first battalion's position to monitor and judge, he also took the initiative to help Chen Xiuwen work. When he looked at Qiao Zhen's work on the picture, Zhu Chi was shocked again. Unexpectedly, the indifferent major's first-hand work on the picture was not much stronger than his regiment chief of staff, and he was very skilled in the arrangement of the troops and the distribution of firepower points in the defensive position.

"I told you, how did you fight so well this time? It turned out that you hired a master to help." Zhu Chi pulled Chen Xiuwen and said softly.

"Captain, I, senior Songlin, is a top student in the Staff Department of the German Army University. I was a teacher of the 10th session of the Central Military Academy before. You can't say that, I have saved a lot of effort with him." Chen Xiuwen also said with appreciation.

"I studied abroad at the German Army University? Why are I still a little major? Well, it seems that this kid cannot be a human being. Talent, but it doesn't matter if he can do it. As long as he is capable, I will ask the brigade to think of a way to see if he can be transferred to our regiment as the chief of staff." Zhu Chi touched her chin and glanced at Qiao Zhen, as if she was a big bad wolf seeing a sheep.

"I said, regiment commander, you are really good at poaching. Now they are the combat staff of the Beijing-Shanghai Security Command. It is not certain whether they can look at our small temple." Chen Xiuwen said to Zhu Chi with some contempt.

"I think he has a good relationship with you now, otherwise how could he help you work? When you have time, you can try to find out for me and do your job." Zhu Chi patted Chen Xiuwen on the shoulder and said.

Chen Xiuwen immediately looked at Zhu Chi, who was looking at Qiao Zhen with a greedy look, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Shortly after Zhu Chi brought the Second Battalion to reinforce, the teaching corps at the foot of the mountain once again launched an attack on the Tuanshan Mountain. The second battalion occupied the advantage of fortification geography and repelled the sixth attack of the teaching corps without any suspense.

Gui Yongqing at the foot of the mountain saw that he had been judged to have lost two platoons and failed to attack again, and was anxious like an ants on a hot pan. Now there was only one battalion left in the first regiment. Yesterday's defeat in the attack and the opponent's raid team broke into the command of the corps command at night. The morale of this battalion was low. Yesterday, he had been clamoring for a strong attack and patting his chest to show that he would definitely take down the Tuanshan position in the morning. Hu Qiru, the second regiment commander who had been in charge of the Tuanshan position, had no sound at this time. Their regiment attacked five times in a row since the morning, losing half of his troops and did not shake the opponent's defense line at all. On the sixth attack, Gui Yongqing had to replace Zhang Kunsheng's first battalion, but there was obviously reinforcement on the opponent's position and was still blocked at the foot of the Tuanshan Mountain.

"I ordered the artillery to carry out a cover artillery bombardment on the Tuanshan position. The third regiment immediately organized a second attack. I don't believe it, and I can't take the Tuanshan." Gui Yongqing ordered in a frustration. He, who has always regarded himself as a Confucian general, couldn't help but swear at this time.

"Captain, according to the exercise rules, our quota of empty bullets has been used up today." The artillery battalion commander said with embarrassment.

"What? The artillery shells were used up? How did this artillery battalion commander do it? How did he wipe out all the artillery shells so quickly." Gui Yongqing turned around and roared at the artillery battalion commander.

The artillery battalion commander did not dare to speak back, but he secretly complained in his stomach: "Aren't you just asking for artillery fire to cover it?"

At this time, Gui Yongqing did not care about the threat of the opponent's mortars set on the back slope, and ordered Zhang Kunsheng, the commander of the Third Regiment: "Order your regiment's mortar company to provide firepower support, and the first battalion will reorganize the attack."

"Captain, if the regiment mortar comes out in front of the regiment, it is very likely to be destroyed." Zhang Kunsheng said with a worried look on his face.

"No matter how much he doesn't care about it, it's useless if you can't take the Tuanshan position." Gui Yongqing said decisively with a wave of his hand.

At this time, Wang Benli, who was temporarily guest-starring the Chief of Staff, hurried over with a telegram with a serious expression.

"Captain, the command center calls, exercises are suspended."

"What? The exercise is suspended?" Gui Yongqing was shocked. If the exercise was suspended at this time, it would mean that the exercises of their teaching corps failed at this stage. He quickly grabbed the telegram handed over by Wang Benli.

After reading the telegram, his face suddenly changed. The telegram was clearly written. The exercise was suspended and the troops stopped moving forward according to their current position. Chairman Jiang, Minister of Military Affairs, General Zhang, Commander-in-Chief of the Exercise, and German General Advisor Falkenhouse came to inspect.

Gui Yongqing sighed and ordered weakly: "Stop the attack."

Similarly, on the top of the regiment, Huang Meixing, the commander of the 264th Brigade, personally ran to the first battalion command center with a telegram and announced loudly: "Everyone, the exercise headquarters has called and the exercise is suspended. The principal will visit in person."

Most of the officers of the 88th Division were members of the Blue-Clothing Society. Chiang Kai-shek and others were leaders and gods in their minds. When they heard the principal coming, they immediately cheered.

Shen Xiuwen was stunned for a moment. Chiang Kai-shek was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. In the education he received from childhood to adulthood, Shen Xiuwen was unable to adapt to this modern villain in China and the leader who came to this era.
