Chongqing
"Bang bang bang"
A young man stood in front of a small building and knocked on the door.
This young man was tall and straight, and his face was handsome and cold. Although he was wearing a long robe worn by ordinary people in the Republic of China, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person! There were two people behind him. Looking at their bulging waists, it was obvious that they were armed!
"Squeak…"
The door was opened, and an old woman stuck her head out. She looked at the three of them warily and said,"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Hello! Is this Mr. Baili's house?”the young man asked.
"Yes, sir! But Mister Baili is idle at home and doesn't see outsiders. Please go back!”The old woman wanted to close the door, but the young man blocked her with his hand and said,"Wait, please tell Mr. Baili that the 101st division of the Central Army is here to visit!”
This young man was Zhou Yi!
"Division 101? The 101st Division that wiped out an entire Japanese brigade?”the old woman said.
"Not bad!" Zhou Yi said.
"Alright then! I'll go ask Mister Baili!" Hearing that it was the 101st Division, the old woman's tone softened. At first, she thought that it was someone from the army who came to pull some strings. However, Mr. Baili often said that those soldiers were all leeches and useless in war, so even the old woman's tone towards those who often came to pull strings was not good.
However, Mr. Baili of the 101st Division often praised him for wiping out an entire Japanese brigade on the battlefield with just one division. This was a great victory that had never been seen on the battlefield of the Republic of China!
It greatly shocked the Japanese army and boosted the morale of the Republic of China!
That was why Mister Baili often praised him!
"However, I don't know if Mister Baili will see you or not!”the old woman added.
"Anyway, thank you!" Zhou Yi said respectfully.
Inside the house, an old man was sitting on the sofa reading a book. He had a square face and proper facial features. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he looked old due to his age, one could still vaguely tell that he was a Fangzheng when he was young!
Perhaps the old man was tired of reading, he rubbed his eyes and took out a briefing on the table next to him. It was a military report about the Battle of Xuzhou!
At this moment, an old woman walked in. The old woman heard the footsteps and said without raising her head,"Help me pour a cup of tea! As expected, she was getting old. Her body was a little tired after reading for a while!”
"Mr. Baili, you have to rest well! This is called reading a book? Don't think I don't know. You didn't sleep last night, right?”The old woman poured a cup of tea for the old man and said softly.
And this old man was none other than Mister Baili!
Jiang Baili took a sip of tea and said,"Sigh…I have no choice! Now that the people were facing such a disaster, countless people of insight were looking for a way out for the current Republic of China. However, those military warlords were usually mighty in their internal strife, but once they fought with the Japanese army, they would collapse!”
"The people are in dire straits. Where is the way out for the Republic of China?”Jiang Baili sighed and said,"Right now, only the 101st division is still outstanding. They won a beautiful victory and greatly boosted the morale of the Republic of China!”
"I heard you talk about the 101st division every day. This time, the 101st division really came!”"There's a man from the 101st Division outside who's here to visit you. Do you want him to come in?" the old woman said with a smile.”
"Division 101? Why are they here?" Jiang Baili frowned and said,"Well, since you're here, please come in and talk!"”
"Alright, I'll go open the door for them now!”The old woman poured Jiang Baili another cup of tea and said.
After a while, the three young men came into the house. When they saw the old man, the three of them immediately stood at attention and saluted."Greetings, Mister Baili!"
"Alright!" Jiang Baili waved his hand and said," I'm already idle at home. I haven't served in the army for a long time, so there's no need to use the etiquette of a subordinate!”
"Although Mister Baili is not in the military, we have all heard of Mister Baili's glorious deeds and take him as an example!”Zhou Yi said.
Speaking of Jiang Baili, he was a legend!
Jiang Baili studied military in Japan and entered the officer school through the junior military school. Every year when he graduated, the Emperor of Japan would give a sword to the first place. When he graduated, he was called an extremely embarrassing figure in the history of the Japanese army!
This was the case because the ranking of the graduates announced by the Japanese Army Sergeant School was read from the beginning to the end, and the first name was "Jiang Fangzhen", which was Jiang Baili's name.
At that time, there were more than 300 Japanese students, four Chinese students, and several Thai students who graduated from the ninth Infantry Division of the Japanese Sergeant School. Just like that, the first place was taken by Jiang Baili, a Chinese student, and the sword bestowed by the Emperor also went to Jiang Baili.
The Japanese side felt embarrassed. Who knew that the second place was announced by a Chinese, which caused even more commotion. Therefore, before announcing the third place, the Japanese side checked and found that the third place was also a Chinese!
In the end, the Japanese felt that they could not explain it to the Emperor, so they had to add two Japanese students as the third and fourth place, and the third place student became the fifth!
Among this batch of Japanese graduates, there were Koishi Kuniaki, Honjo Shigeru, Matsui Ishigen, and other elites of the Japanese Army. All of them were defeated by Jiang Baili!
From then on, the Japanese Army Sergeant School stipulated that the Chinese students must be taught separately from the Japanese students to avoid the same scene from happening again!
Jiang Baili had received such a great honor from the Japanese. The Japanese hoped that Jiang Baili would say a few good words about Japan, but who knew that Jiang Baili would say something like this. The general idea was that China had learned two things from Japan that could not be saved. One was education, and the other was the army. Then, they drifted away…
Later, Jiang Baili became the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Many of his students were important generals of the National Party, such as Tang Shengzhi, Fang Shengtao, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, etc...
"Let's not talk about the past. Tell me why you came to visit an old man like me today.”Mister Baili asked after inviting them to sit down.
"Come and have some tea!" The old lady poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yi, who took it and said,""Thank you!"
"To be honest, I came here under the orders of my master to invite Mr. Bai Li to come out of the mountain and be the chief of staff of our 101st division!”Zhou Yi said as he took a sip of tea.
"Oh? To tell the truth, you're not a qualified lobbyist!”Jiang Baili looked at Zhou Yi with interest and said,"Now that I'm idle at home, I've rejected many people who even invited me to be the chief of staff. Why should I be the chief of staff for your division?”
"Haha, if Mister Baili was really a person who only cared about status, Master wouldn't have sent me here!”Zhou Yi said calmly.
"Oh? Are you so sure that I will agree to your request to become the Chief of Staff of the 101st Division?”
"You will definitely go!" "Because before I came, Master said something to me. As long as you hear it, you'll definitely come with me to Division 101!"”
"What words?" Jiang Baili asked.
"Before I came, Master said that if Mister Bai Li is unwilling to come, then tell him this!”Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Baili and took a sip of tea."I heard that Mister Baili has been looking for a way out for the Republic of China. In my opinion, there is only one way out for the Republic of China now!”
"What path?" Jiang Baili asked!
"Space for time!" Zhou Yi said.
"What plan do you have?"
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just don't make peace!”
"It is inevitable that we will defeat Japan, but it will take time. The Republic of China is still weak, and the Japanese are pressing us step by step, not giving us time to develop.”
