Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Chapter 258 General Labor: Hello, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin!

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Guards, go and invite Commander Lin over and tell him there's good news!"

General Lao and the division commander were studying future strategic tasks when the chief of staff brought over a telegram.

Mr. Lao took a few glances, laughed heartily, and immediately asked the guard to call Lin Tian over.

"My two friends, let me tell you, the chief will definitely agree with our proposal!"

"See? Yan'an not only appointed Lin Tian as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, but also gave him the power to act at his own discretion!"

"Hahaha, this is a happy event!"

"Chief of Staff, please send the Central Committee's order appointing Comrade Lin Tian as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army to all regiments!"

"The new daughter-in-law still has to meet her parents-in-law, and our deputy chief of staff must let everyone know!"

General Lao said excitedly, and the Chief of Staff went to do it immediately.

An appointment of this level requires knowledge of the entire army. Otherwise, it would be awkward if everyone meets in the future and doesn't recognize each other face to face.

"Boss Lao! Are you looking for me?"

"Hey! The Chief of Staff and the Division Commander are here too!"

Lin Tian trotted all the way to where General Lao was. Just now, General Lao's guard came over and said there was good news, and Lin Tian had already guessed most of it.

Now, seeing the three leaders gathered together and laughing, Lin Tian felt relieved.

"Come on, come on, I think you have probably guessed what I want to talk to you about, right?"

"Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense. This is the commander's telegram. Take it and read it."

"It will probably take a few days for the official appointment letter to arrive. This is written by the chief himself."

Mr. Lao laughed and handed the telegram in his hand to Lin Tian.

I don’t know why, but when Mr. Lao saw Lin Tian, ​​he smiled very happily.

This guy always gives everyone a big surprise every time we meet him.

And every time they had no idea what kind of miracle Lin Tian could create.

"Oh my! The commander is so kind!"

"Not only did they give me the position of deputy chief of staff, they also said that neither they nor the headquarters would interfere in the affairs of Division One!"

"From now on, all actions do not need to be approved by headquarters, just inform us!"

"Without any restraint, the fight will be much more enjoyable!"

Lin Tian laughed happily. He had known that the chief would agree to his position as deputy chief of staff.

This will only benefit the entire Eighth Route Army and will not cause any harm.

The chief is not like the chief of the Central Army, who is stingy and gives all the important positions to his trusted subordinates, and no one else can even think about it.

There is no need to talk about taking advantage of others' situation. All the deployments of the Central Army must be under the command of the superiors.

As a famous master of micro-manipulation throughout history, he often gave orders across levels of command and could even make phone calls to the command post at the regiment level on the front line.

Lin Tian sometimes wondered if this commander wanted to personally operate the heavy machine guns on the front line...

There is a joke in later generations that one day, a unit of the Central Army was fighting fiercely with our army, and the heavy machine gun position received an order from Nanjing, ordering the heavy machine gun position to move five centimeters to the left...

Even during the Huaihai Campaign, in order to avoid being criticized by their superiors, the Central Army simply cut off the radio and telephone of the headquarters in an attempt to prevent their superiors from micromanaging the battlefield.

But no one expected that the commander would actually send a plane to airdrop a handwritten order directly over the headquarters, which ultimately destroyed the 800,000 troops that made the commander say "the advantage is with me".

Today, Lin Tian compared the leader with that superior and felt even more deeply.

The chief hadn't even met him yet, yet he dared to doubt him and directly appointed himself. He was really courageous.

"Hello, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin!"

For the first time ever, General Lao saluted Lin Tian and called him "Deputy Chief of Staff Lin".

"Hey, stop it, stop it! Mr. Lao, you are slandering me!"

"I'm just holding a position, you..."

Mr. Lao's sudden move made Lin Tian helpless. He quickly pulled Mr. Lao's hand down and said.

"Hahaha, hello, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin!"

However, General Lao lowered his hand, while the Chief of Staff and the division commander raised their hands again.

"What are you doing, ouch..."

Lin Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread his hands helplessly. These three leaders were already old, why did they always make fun of him?

However, Lin Tian also knew that the fact that the leader could joke with him meant that he really regarded him as his own, otherwise this would not happen.

Just like when Li Yunlong met the brigade commander, although the brigade commander scolded him harshly, in fact, he treated Li Yunlong as a treasure.

The chief's attitude towards the brigade commander was the same. Lin Tian remembered that the brigade commander seemed to have stolen cigarettes from an old man...

……

“A-choo! A-choo…!”

"Damn it! Which bastard is telling tales about me behind my back?"

Zhaojiayu, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong was sitting on the kang drinking a little wine when suddenly his nose felt sore, his ears felt hot, and he sneezed twice.

Li Yunlong started to curse and began to search for the enemy in the air.

Now that the independent regiment has been divided, there is not much to do in the regiment, and he finally has some free time. Zhao Gang specially approved him to drink half a bottle of wine today. After just two sips, he felt someone was talking about him behind his back.

"Old Li, you are not satisfied with your little drink, who are you cursing at?"

"I'm asking you to change your ways. It's not good for a regiment commander to swear all day long and let the soldiers hear it!"

"I've told you to study hard and improve your cultural level, but you either said you didn't have time to fight in the war, or you said it was useless to study!"

"Now that the troops have been divided, there is nothing left in the regiment that needs your attention. Why can't you spare some time to study hard?"

As soon as Zhao walked into the yard, he heard Li Yunlong's rough curse coming from the house.

This morning, he saw Li Yunlong learn two characters seriously, so in order to praise him, he allowed Li Yunlong to drink some wine. Unexpectedly, this kid became unruly after drinking, and he didn't know who he was scolding in broad daylight.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you're here!"

"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down. To be honest, whenever I sit down here, people start to talk about me!"

"Don't think too much, it's definitely not a good thing!"

When Li Yunlong saw that it was Zhao Gang who came, he hurriedly got up, pulled Zhao Gang to the kang, and enthusiastically poured a bowl of Fenjiu.

Ever since returning from Yi County, Li Yunlong has been living like a god.

He withheld a lot of supplies that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent to the Eighth Route Army, especially artillery and food, and of course, a lot of wine.

Commander Fu knew that Li Yunlong loved drinking, so he specially sent him ten boxes of top-quality Fenjiu in his personal name, but all the wine was confiscated by Zhao Gang.

You can't give Li Yunlong too much slack. If you do, something bad will happen.

This wine cannot be put in Li Yunlong's hands, otherwise this kid will be drunk every day.

Although there is nothing to do in the regiment now and it has retreated to the rear to rest, but the fact that the regiment commander is drunk all day long makes the villagers think of the Eighth Route Army.

As the political commissar, Zhao Gang must not let this happen.
