    Because his own affairs were still complicated, Han Qi returned to Changde after staying in Taoyuan for a day.  Tian Xiuxiu and Xiong Sanwa stayed. After all, for Zhang Xian, his wife could be taken care of much better than outsiders.

    Han Qi is right. The war in Changde has alarmed the world, and many groups have come one after another to express their respect for the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.  In fact, before New Year's Day, before the battle was over, condolences groups from all walks of life had already arrived in Changde.  The first to arrive was the press corps from Chongqing. There were many Western journalists in this press corps. The commissioner wanted to use the propaganda of these foreign journalists to report the victory of the Battle of Changde to the whole world.  The central government has a good idea. It hopes that through this victorious battle, it will convey to the people of the world China's determination to defend the country to the death. It also expresses its determination to its US allies and hopes that a large amount of US assistance can be implemented as soon as possible.

    After New Year¡¯s Day, condolences groups at all levels came to Changde, and the government¡¯s commendation meeting was also held in Changde. Zhang Xian did not attend because of his injury, but Army Commander Wang Hui came to the hospital in person to award him the medal.  In this battle, Zhang Xian won the second-level Yunhui Medal and was promoted to colonel; Gao Wei also received a third-level medal and was promoted to major.  In the 74th Army, Zhang Linfu, the commander of the 58th Division, was also commended by the commission and received a first-class Yunhui Medal.

    However, the name of Luo Da, commander of the 57th Division, did not appear in the list of recipients, which shocked Zhang Xian and everyone.  Moreover, after the battle, Commander Luo never showed up again. It was not until Commander Su Zhengtao came to visit everyone that they knew that Commander Luo had been taken to Chongqing on charges of abandoning the army and absconding.

    Only then did Zhang Xian understand why Mr. Luo didn't come to see him. It was at this moment that an inexplicable sadness and anger arose in his heart.

    When Commander Wang came, he also brought many reporters and representatives. They all came to interview Zhang Xian and asked him to make a report after he recovered from his injury.  Zhang Xian has been established as a heroic commander by the 74th Army. This is in sharp contrast to Luo Da, who has no commander in the entire division.

    Facing the flashlight and microphone, Zhang Xian was very calm. He did not take credit. He pushed all the credit to the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy. He told everyone the story of Sima Yun and Battalion Commander Chang Liqiang;  He told everyone the story of Xiao Daoer, who was an extremely ordinary soldier; he also told everyone how the residents of Changde delivered water and food to the 57th Division, but the only thing he did not tell was himself.  As for his performance in the battle, Battalion Commander Gao Wei narrated it to everyone. Only then did people know that after the Japanese occupied Changde City, the Tiger Soldiers did not abandon the city. Under the leadership of Captain Zhang, they  Next, they have been fighting against the enemy, and the day after the Japanese occupied Changde, they contacted friendly forces to drive away the Japanese and recapture Changde.

    But after these honors and applause, when Zhang Xian faced Commander Wang Hui alone, he asked about Luo Da.

    "Why is it like this?" He was a little puzzled: "Master Luo is the hero who defended the city, why would he be like this?" He almost shouted.

    Wang Hui glanced at him, feeling a little helpless. This army lieutenant general, who had fought numerous small and large battles for many years and was known as a victorious general, sighed and told him: "No one can  We should take responsibility for the loss of Changde, but in the face of questioning from the people of the world, we must find a scapegoat."

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but get excited and said angrily: "Why not the reinforcements? If the reinforcements arrived on time, how could Changde be lost? Why should the blame be placed on Commander Luo?"

    Wang Hui was silent and turned away. His tall figure looked so desolate against the snow outside the window. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Maybe the only thing Roda did wrong was when it was time to sacrifice.  No sacrifice!"

    Zhang Xian was stunned, and suddenly understood, he couldn't help shouting: "Is it possible? Is it just for the sake of death? Is it possible? Is it possible that there is not even a glimmer of hope for life? Is it possible? Is it possible that all the people are dead?  Call it bravery? Is it possible? We can clearly win victory alive, but in exchange for that little bit of vanity, we would rather have our entire army annihilated?"

    This series of rhetorical questions left Wang Hui speechless.  Maybe he could answer, but at this time, he couldn't.

    Zhang Xian was breathing heavily, obviously still agitated, and tears flowed down again unknowingly.

    Wang Hui turned around again and looked at the tearful face of the little regiment leader. He also felt surges in his chest. But after all, he had been in the army for so many years and had been in the officialdom for so many years. He knew what was going on inside.  But he couldn't tell his subordinate.  For a long time, he could only comfort him like this: "Don't worry, I will do my best to find a way to help."?It can't be reached.  If you graduate from a mainland university, you should be a major general after graduation.  Haha, the so-called yellow robe plus a mainland hat, you are already a yellow robe, all you need is a mainland hat.  "

    Zhang Xian smiled bitterly and said leisurely: "I no longer value generals who are not generals. If I can still survive in this war, I will be satisfied."

    Wang Hui was startled and nodded. Zhang Xian was indeed right. There is no dawn of victory in this protracted war. After experiencing the life and death battle in Changde, perhaps this young man has a more complete understanding of life.  .

    "If you don't go to mainland China, I'd really like it." Wang Hui said unabashedly: "The 57th Division has been wiped out, and I have to rebuild the Tiger Ben Division. It's great that you can stay.  "

    "Commander Luo is gone, who will be his successor?" Zhang Xian asked, this was indeed something he was very concerned about.

    Wang Hui said: "I have transferred Commander Zhang Linfu from the 58th Division to serve as the division commander. You are still the commander of the 169th Regiment."

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the lame teacher. So far, all he remembers about this teacher Zhang is his arrogance.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
