Zhao Ting was in the limelight when he was interviewed by these reporters. He did not show any weakness and showed his tough side.
After the interview ended, the reporters from the major news agencies quickly rushed back to edit, format, and print the news.
The next day, the front pages of all the major newspapers were filled with interviews about the hero of the resistance, Zhao Ting.
"Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"
"We will win the final victory!”
"I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave to a country!”
"400 million compatriots, unite and fight against the enemy!”
.......
These inspiring slogans, coupled with the photo of Zhao Ting's blood-stained military uniform and dusty face, immediately caused a strong reaction in all the major cities in the country.
Countless commoners took to the streets, holding up patriotic slogans and shouting loudly to protect their country. Countless young students abandoned their pens and joined the army.
There were meetings and speeches everywhere. Countless stretcher teams, medical teams, and consolation teams were on their way to the front line.
At the same time, in the streets and alleys of the country, countless people donated money and materials to support the battle at the front line.
Even the paperboys, prostitutes, and beggars took out what they urgently needed and donated it to the soldiers fighting in the front line.
In the recruitment areas of many divisions, there were long lines of young patriots who wanted to join the army to fight the Japanese.
With the promotion of the fishing vessel, not only did Zhao Ting become a national celebrity, but it also brought about a series of chain reactions. Of course, these reactions were all good.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the people in the country to resist the enemy, even the chairman of the capital was shocked. He did not expect Zhao Ting, who was originally unknown, to have such a great appeal.
He also saw the newspaper and saw the answers that Zhao Ting gave to the reporters. He was very happy and ordered the military and political department to satisfy all reasonable requests of the model battalion.
Zhao Ting naturally knew that he was in the limelight now, but he didn't care. He had already boarded the truck to Songcheng.
Zhao Ting was now a hero, and a hero that everyone knew. Therefore, all the departments gave him the green light.
When they saw Zhao Ting and the others heading to Song County on foot, they immediately sent a team of military trucks over to send them there.
It was because of this that they arrived in just a few hours. If it weren't for the threat of the Japanese planes flying in the sky, they would have been even faster.
Song County was only a small county. When Zhao Ting arrived, the county's prestigious squires, local garrison commanders, militia, and other armed officers all came out to welcome him.
Zhao Ting was only a minor major. He was only a minor second lieutenant not long ago. Now that he was welcomed by so many people, he was also very emotional.
Liu Gang and the others, who had gone through life and death with Zhao Ting, felt even more flattered. They did not expect them to be so popular.
That day, in Song County, the local squires and some local officials held a banquet for Zhao Ting at the best restaurant in the city.
"Do my brothers have this food?”
Zhao Ting did not sit down immediately when he saw the table full of wine and meat. Instead, he asked.
"Yes, we have already instructed the kitchen to not treat Battalion Commander Zhao's men unfairly.”A squire immediately replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhao Ting happily sat down and sent the company commander Liu Gang to personally go out to greet his brothers for dinner.
Although Zhao Ting did not have a good impression of these corrupt local officials and squires who bullied the villagers, he did not have a good impression of them.
However, he also knew that he was new here and needed their support if he wanted to establish himself here. Therefore, he ate the meal in harmony.
Many of the soldiers under Zhao Ting were from poor families. Their salaries were deducted in the army, and they did not even have enough to eat.
Now that they were being treated with food, they didn't forget that it was Zhao Ting who brought them food.
If it weren't for Zhao Ting, they might still be fighting the Japanese at the front line. They wouldn't have the chance to feast here.
The reason why Zhao Ting brought the model battalion to Song County was because he had lived two lives and knew that the Japanese would land here.
If he were to go around telling everyone, no one would believe him. They might even suspect that he was a spy sent by the Japanese.
Therefore, he could only bring his troops over and make arrangements as soon as possible. He hoped that it would be effective at that time to prevent the troops on the battlefield from being defeated by the Japanese from both sides. In the end, a tragic tragedy would happen in the capital.
The garrison commander was prepared to vacate the camp in the city for Zhao Ting and the others to use as a model battalion. It could be considered a form of flattery.
"I won't steal their beauty. We just need to find a camp outside the city.”
Zhao Ting declined the Garrison Commander's kindness and decided to set up camp outside the city.
This way, not only could they train with peace of mind, but they could also avoid conflicts between the soldiers and the local people. At the same time, they could also avoid being spied on.
When the garrison commander saw that Zhao Ting did not want their camp, he was naturally happy. After all, it was really troublesome to make his men free.
On the same day, they found an abandoned school in the south of the city for Zhao Ting and the others.
Due to the merger of various schools, the students were all gathered in the newly built school buildings, so the original school in Song County was abandoned. It was just the right time to station troops.
Zhao Ting had brought a company of brothers from the 74th army and pulled in about 500 soldiers from the reception area. Logically speaking, the number of soldiers had been exceeded, but everyone had a tacit understanding and no one cared.
That night, Zhao Ting bid farewell to the local squire and the local governor. He left Songxian County with his brothers who had eaten and drunk their fill and went to the abandoned school building in the south of the city.
