Chapter 70 Chapter 66: The General Listening to the Story

The food in the hospital is indeed much better than that in the army. The canteen is clean and tidy, spotless, the environment is good, and the food tastes delicious.After the two guys had dinner, they ran to Chief Zhang's ward. Fortunately, the three officers in the ward were all in the recovery period, so the doctor didn't object and allowed them to chat inside. Xiao Wu was born to be talkative and eloquent. He told the three officers about their battle experience with the devils. After his description, the boring battle story became interesting. The three officers laughed and applauded from time to time. .Mu Liangfeng also found it interesting. He thought it was nothing special to lead troops to fight, but it was really interesting to hear what Xiao Wu said.

A lieutenant colonel couldn't help interjecting after listening to Xiao Wu's part about bombing devils with grenades: "Old Zhang, these soldiers under your command are pretty good at fighting! Thinking about my troops often fighting useless battles, I really admire you guys." Ah!" The commander of the lieutenant colonel who spoke was from the second-class unit, and he had fought many tough battles with the devils face to face, but he lost nine out of ten battles, and suffered a lot. Commander Zhang was of course happy to hear that others praised their soldiers. He laughed and said: "These guys are now members of the Secret Service Regiment, and I am their predecessor. I brought out the boys by hand."

The three school officers lying on the hospital bed were all like children at this moment, chatting happily, and Captain Zhang even made no secret of his respect and appreciation for his subordinates, and he praised them in front of the two lieutenant colonels Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu and the others. Several people were chatting vigorously, when the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a civilian military officer swaggered in: "General Chen is here!" The people in the ward were startled when they heard this. Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu immediately stood up and saluted the general. The three school officers also struggled to sit up.

Sure enough, it was General Chen. He had a smile on his face now, and he looked much more friendly. "You guys, don't move, just lie down." He waved his hand, motioning for several patients to lie down and talk. General Chen smiled and said, "I'm here today, one is to express condolences to everyone, and the other is to thank my two lifesavers." General Chen saw that the two young men were both lieutenants, and asked with great interest, "Which unit do the two young brothers belong to? There are such young lieutenants." "Reporting to the general, I am Mu Liangfeng, second lieutenant and deputy commander of the first battalion and first company of the 98th Division Special Task Force."

"Report to the general, I am Wu Xiaowu, Lieutenant of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 98th Division Special Task Force." General Chen nodded: "You are young and promising! You are all elites! I was your age, and I just joined the army." The civilian officer next to him had already moved a chair for General Chen to sit down. "By the way, I went upstairs just now and heard you guys discussing something happily. It made me happy to say it." General Chen didn't put on airs at all at this moment, and looked at his subordinates with a smile on his face.

"Report to the general, we were telling a few officers about the war just now." "Haha, okay! You keep on talking, I also like to listen to stories." Xiao Wu looked at Mu Liangfeng and then at the head of the group.Commander Zhang said: "Speak! Since the general wants to listen, you should speak carefully." Xiao Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell a series of battle stories. When he told the story of them dealing with two devils on the mountain, the smile on General Chen's face disappeared, and his face was serious.Startled everyone in the house.

"Wait." General Chen frowned and said, "You just said that one of your companies and two devil squadrons fought in the mountains for a few days?" The general obviously doubted the authenticity of the story. "Report to the general, we eliminated two squadron leaders of devils in that battle, and killed at least more than a hundred devils." Xiao Wu said the truth, so he boldly admitted. "Who commanded this battle?" General Chen asked again. Xiao Wu pointed to Mu Liangfeng: "Our company commander commanded it." "Well, didn't you just talk about Lieutenant Lieutenant?" General Chen said, looking carefully at Mu Liangfeng.

Xiao Wu smiled and said: "Report to the general, our company commander was withdrawn because of this battle." General Chen was even more puzzled: "This battle was fought beautifully! Why was it withdrawn?" Mu Liangfeng blushed, so he withdrew himself to the large army and told the story of leading a small army to fight against two devil squadrons in the mountains without authorization.He said: "The situation at that time was that the enemy was outnumbered. Even if I had the strength of my entire company, I couldn't confront the Japanese troops of the two squadrons head-on. , withdrew the large troops and the communication squad... I disobeyed the regiment headquarters' order to withdraw me, so I was dismissed by the regiment leader..."

"Hahaha..." General Chen laughed when he heard that. "It is reasonable for your regiment commander to withdraw, and you must obey orders on the battlefield. But having said that, many officers and soldiers of our army are afraid of the Japanese invaders like tigers and wolves, and are passive and idle. There are not many officers like you who have the spirit of taking the initiative to attack! And you did fight well in those few battles. General Chen paused for a moment, and then said: "Just now I thought you were good at marksmanship, but I didn't expect you to be a general who can lead troops. It's rare! By the way, you graduated from that military academy?"

Mu Liangfeng blushed: "Report to the general, I have never been to a military academy, but only studied in a school in my hometown for four years." "What? How do you lead troops to fight if you haven't studied in a military academy. This won't work. After this battle, you go to a military academy to study for a while." General Chen said thoughtfully, and looked at the civilian officer next to him. With a glance, the officer immediately took out a paper booklet and wrote something on it with a pen. When Xiao Wu heard the general praise his company commander, he beamed and said it again. Captain Zhang and Mu Liangfeng kept giving him winks, but he just couldn't see it.The more General Chen listened to it, the more interesting he became. The battle stories of low-level officers immediately attracted him, and gradually he became fascinated.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the civilian officer at the side took out a pocket watch, looked at it, and gently stepped forward to remind him, "General, it's time." When General Chen heard that the civilian officer interrupted his interest, he looked disappointed and said to the civilian officer: "Understood." Then he stood up and said to Xiao Wu: "Good speech, good battle. It’s also pretty, and you can tell me about it next time you have a chance.” As he spoke, he gave a military salute to everyone, and the people in the ward immediately stood at attention to return the salute. General Chen walked up to Mu Liangfeng, looked at him with a serious expression, and said, "* now there is a shortage of officers like you, Company Commander Mu, you will work hard in the future! You will definitely do a lot in the future." "Thank you general for your instructions and teachings. I will definitely lead my troops to fight well and strive to eliminate more devils." General Chen gave a "hmm", turned around and went out.After Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu watched the general leave, they breathed a sigh of relief. "Mu Liangfeng, congratulations on your kid being able to go to the military academy for further studies and return to his post." Captain Zhang let out a sigh of relief when he saw General Chen leave. Mu Liangfeng didn't understand the meaning of these words. "Haha, the general called you Company Commander Mu just now, and you have already been reinstated." Commander Zhang sighed, "You have talent and good luck. Missing you, Commander, I have fought from the Great War in the Central Plains to the present. , but you have never entered a school, so you should seize this good opportunity and go to the military academy to learn something, and you will definitely surpass me, a useless regiment commander, in the future." "Brother Mu, it turns out that you are Commander-in-Chief Chen's savior. If you become prosperous in the future, you can't forget us!" The two lieutenant colonels called him Xiaomu at first, but now they call him brother and brother.Officials really don't eat salted fish. Mu Liangfeng didn't take this matter to heart at all, he looked out the window and said to the head of the group: "Tuan Zuo, let me help you go for a walk!"
