Chapter 17
Jinling, Leader's Residence
The battle to defend Jinling had broken out. Although there was danger, they had managed to hold on and their evacuation mission was still in progress.
In the city, many of the scattered soldiers had already retreated. There were still more than 100,000 scattered soldiers who had not retreated, but the elite soldiers had already retreated.
There were also the citizens in the city. Many of them had already crossed the Yangtze River and left Jinling.
The Generalissimo hadn't moved yet, but it would be soon. According to the plan, he would go to the camp in Wu Han in three days, which was the 8th, to command the national army there.
After breakfast, the chairman was reading some battle reports in the study. Of course, these were not very important battle reports.
The important battle report had been dealt with long ago. They would not wait until this time to deal with it. After all, the military situation was like fire!
As he read, a military report entered his eyes.
"Annihilate 1,056 Japanese? The 88th Division? Wenbin's troops?"
The chairman was a little interested and began to read it carefully. This military report was originally written by Zhang Wenbin and then sent to Sun Yuanliang. Sun Yuanliang then sent it to the chairman.
If it was other officers who did not belong to Huangpu, Sun Yuanliang would definitely take a portion of the rewards. However, he would not take a single cent of Zhang Wenbin's military merits!
He knew very well whether he was going to be promoted once or for all.
If Zhang Wenbin was promoted, how could his old boss not be promoted?
After a long time, the chairman finished reading and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
"En! Not bad! Although there were some flaws, overall, it was done very well. As expected of a talent cultivated by the party and state.”
In the later generations, we have always said that the chairman uses people to be close to him. In fact, everyone is like this.
If you were the boss and had a big company under you, would you give the company's finances to someone you didn't trust?
You definitely have to let someone you trust manage it!
This was the same. If someone they didn't trust came to lead the troops, what if they ran away with them? Or would they switch sides?
Therefore, when it came to employing people, the chairman had always adhered to the principle of loyalty first and ability second.
That was why the Huangpu military officers were able to rise to the top. In terms of trust!
The children of the Congress Party's elder families supported the Congress Party much more than the Huangpu military officers because their interests were tied to the Congress Party and the chairman himself. Therefore, the chairman trusted these elder families more.
Moreover, many of Huangpu University's graduates did not work under him. Instead, they went to his enemies.
After reading it, the chairman put down the military report. He didn't care about the 400 casualties mentioned on it.
Over four hundred people had achieved over a thousand victories. This was an unprecedented victory.
Instead, he was deep in thought. After a while, he called over an adjutant from the attendant room.
"Prepare a telegram and ask the logistics department to allocate sufficient supplies to the 88th Division's advance regiment. In addition, transfer 500 elites from the first division of the National Guard to supplement the advance regiment!”
The National Guard Division was actually the Generalissimo's security force.
He had a total of three National Guard divisions. They were responsible for the safety of the chairman and the security of Jin Ling City. They were all elites among elites.
"Yes, sir!"
"Slow down! In addition, send a telegram to the military and political department to send a commendation telegram to the 88th division, encouraging them to continue their efforts and make new contributions!”
"Yes, sir!"
.............
When the commendation telegram was still on the way, Zhang Wenbin was staring at the system in a daze.
During the battle last night, the system did not give out any rewards, nor did the system experience change. However, there was a change in his basic attributes.
Morale 6, Attack 2, Perseverance 2, Morale 5, Commander 30.
This meant that the morale of the troops had been raised. If they encountered a tough battle, they would be able to endure it. This meant that the troops had a certain degree of cohesion.
The most important thing was the 30 Command. There were only 30 points left to the 60 points. As long as the 60 Command was given, these people would only be loyal to him and would only listen to his orders.
"Regiment Commander, our reinforcements are here. The 72nd division has sent an infantry regiment to take over our position. In addition, the military and political department sent us a commendation telegram.
The chairman personally transferred 500 elite soldiers to replenish our losses last night. In addition, the military and political department will also replenish the supplies we consumed last night.”
The commander of the 6th Battalion, Wu Deshui, ran over and said loudly.
"Are you here? Good! He ordered the troops to return to the camp to rest. At the same time, the platoon commanders of the various battalions held a meeting to summarize the battle last night.”
Zhang Wenbin did not insist on staying at the front line. His troops still needed training. The battle last night had already exposed many problems. He could take advantage of the end of the battle to go back and sum up.
Moreover, Zhang Wenbin knew that Jinling could not be defended because of the gap between the national army and the Japanese. Once the Japanese broke through the Yangtze River and entered Jiangbei to cut off their retreat, it would be a big problem.
.................
After returning to the camp, the troops rested for a day. On the second day, which was December 6th, the soldiers continued their training while the officers held a summary meeting to summarize the battle the night before.
12th month, 7th day, Dangtu County fell. The Japanese's 18th Division and Guoqi Division crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Jiangbei. Then, they began to advance quickly toward Pukou, the northern part of Jinling.
This incident caused a huge commotion in Jin Ling City, because the Japanese were obviously trying to cut off the retreat of the Jin Ling defenders.
People in Jin Ling City started to panic. Many people who were not prepared to leave were preparing to leave.
The frontline defense line began to waver because of this incident.
In this regard, Zhang Wenbin was still training his troops. He had his own plan.
In the past two days, he had also carefully understood the system. The system's upgrade had nothing to do with the number of kills and military merits.
The Military Training System was related to the territory he controlled. After he had his own territory, the system would obtain experience points, upgrade, and open up more weapons.
However, opening up more weapons was one aspect. The other aspect was the number of weapons.
The number of weapons was related to his military rank and position.
Therefore, he had to fight, participate in the battle, and obtain military merits. Then, the chairman would see that he had a lot of military merits and promote him. Only then would he have the opportunity to pull his army together to fight against the Japanese.
Don't say that he's young. During wartime, soldiers were promoted the fastest. Look at Huo Qubing. He was a marquis and a high official at a young age. Although others had connections, did he have no connections?
As for obeying orders and leading the troops out of Jinling to the rear, he was not willing.
If he went to the rear, he would probably be the only descendant of the Zhang family, regardless of whether his father was willing to let him go to the battlefield again. How could he obtain military merits if he didn't go to the battlefield? How could he be promoted?
If he didn't get promoted, the system wouldn't change. If he didn't have his own territory, then wouldn't he have blinded the system for nothing? It was the same with or without the system. What was the use of him transmigrating? Wasting food? And watch the war continue for eight years?
No Chinese would accept such an arrangement, so he had to earn enough military merits in Jinling!

Just now, when she was writing, she remembered something from her childhood.
When I was young, my grandmother asked a fortune-teller to read my fortune. After seeing me, the fortune-teller said, This child's glabella is shining. In the future, he will definitely be successful in his studies and career. He will definitely be rich and noble.
Now, look at my own conditions. I'm using my strength to prove to my grandmother that feudal superstition is unreliable!
