Chapter 203: Tearing Open the Shirt to Count the Scars

Yu Hua smiled slightly, "First!"

"I want autonomous choice over the battlefield—how to fight, when to fight, and in what manner to fight!"

"Everything must be decided by me; the Marshal must not interfere."

"I am afraid that when the time comes, people from the 23rd Group Army will report back to the Marshal, so let us agree on this beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Marshal Liu nodded, "That is acceptable."

"You shall have full authority over the Seventh War Zone; I will not interfere."

Yu Hua chuckled, "Marshal, I think Chief of Staff Fu Chang would be a good choice."

Pan Wenhua waved his hand, "That is unnecessary!"

"This kid is my old subordinate."

"I only want the results; I do not care about the process."

In Tang's view, with nearly one hundred thousand men, how could the 23rd Group Army fail to defeat the little devils in the Taihu Region?

Moreover, the 23rd Group Army was Marshal Liu's own direct-line unit.

Marshal Liu saw that expression on Yu Hua's face.

"I think Old Pan makes a valid point; on the contrary, the Marshal values us."

Yu Hua rubbed his hands together, "Alright!"

After dealing a heavy blow to the little devils, he would clear his name and show that he, Tang Shizun, was also capable of fighting.

On the Jin Province Battlefield, the 22nd Group Army, under Yu Hua's command, won battle after battle.

After revealing their identities, the Sichuan Army unit commanders reported upward, and after verifying that the identities of Yu Hua and the others were correct.

Tearing open their shirts to count their scars, saying how they had been with the Marshal back in the day.

These people were all brought by Marshal Liu from the Chuan-Kang Pacification Office.

"Only then were Yu Hua and Fu Chang dispatched."

"If I go to the Seventh War Zone, what if he does not execute my orders?"

Tang Shizun stood to the side, and seeing everyone praising Yu Hua, he actually felt a bit displeased inside.

"Commander Pan Wenhua is fine, but that Tang Wen... oh, Commander Tang Shizun."

"Isn't this a bit hasty?"

Regarding Yu Hua's command ability, Marshal Liu was one hundred and twenty percent confident.

"It has only been three months since Yu Hua went from a Platoon Leader to a Major Staff Officer of the 2nd Route Army, right?"

He immediately dispatched a company of soldiers to escort Yu Hua and Fu Chang as they boarded a ship to head to the Seventh War Zone headquarters.

"His speed of promotion is truly fast; in our Sichuan Army, there is no one else like him."

Last time, when Yang Sen reported to Marshal Liu that Principal was preparing to insert his own people into the 20th Army.

Seventh War Zone headquarters.

Nighttime!

Because this time he, Tang, was the Commander-in-Chief of the 23rd Group Army, and Marshal Liu was not coming in person.

Rao Guohua said happily: "This time!"

"Got it!" Yu Hua smiled contentedly, "Marshal, you can rest assured."

Pan Wenhua, Fan Shaozeng, Rao Guohua, and the others gasped.

This caused Tang's wish to fall through, and he still felt a bit dissatisfied in his heart.

Tang believed that if you replaced him with a pig, it could also command the 23rd Group Army to win battles.

"He is my number one mastermind."

Marshal Liu believed that with Fu Chang going to the Seventh War Zone with Yu Hua.

He knew that Yu Hua had been promoted to Major Staff Officer of the 2nd Route Army.

Fan Shaozeng, who was to the side, also grinned and said: "Mm!"

This indirectly weakened the power in Tang Shizun's hands.

Tang Shizun, Pan Wenhua, Fan Shaozeng, and the others all received the telegram from Marshal Liu.

"Serving as a staff officer in the 22nd Group Army, after the Marshal went to Jin Province, he was directly promoted to Major Staff Officer of the Sichuan Army's 2nd Route Army."

Afterward, Yu Hua and Fu Chang first took a car to the train station, then took a train to Jinyang.

The cold wind of the winter night blew against everyone, and everyone could not help but tighten their clothes.

"Yu Hua is a staff officer of the 22nd Group Army; after a few battles with the 22nd Group Army in Jin Province."

"That is famous throughout the country and has greatly boosted the face of our Sichuan Army."

"Let that old devil Yanagawa Heisuke know the prestige of my Sichuan Army."

Regarding his "Plague Pig" nickname, Tang Shizun had originally hoped to command the Sichuan Army of the 7th War Zone himself.

Yu Hua hurriedly changed his words, having almost blurted out Commander Tang the Plague Pig.

Therefore, when it came to war merits, Tang Shizun had no choice but to try to build a connection with Marshal Liu.

After getting off the plane, Fu Chang and Yu Hua found the Sichuan Army unit stationed there.

He was the boss, but now Marshal Liu had dispatched Yu Hua and Fu Chang.

"Fu Chang will go with you."

Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen had almost delegated their authority to Yu Hua, and both of them only wanted results.

"Isn't this making things difficult for me!"

Yu Hua and Fu Chang took Marshal Liu's private plane and finally arrived at the Seventh War Zone.

Now the arrival of Yu Hua and Fu Chang made it somewhat difficult for Tang Shizun to command the 23rd Group Army.

He immediately associated it with the scene where Tang Shizun once took off his clothes to count the scars on his body.

Sitting on Marshal Liu's private plane in Jinyang, flying to the Seventh War Zone.

Wuhu!

"Hmm!" Marshal Liu nodded, "Go ahead and do it with your hands untied."

When the Sichuan Army began to discuss war merits internally, this person, Tang Wenzhu, liked to do this the most.

"The Marshal is having Yu Hua come to the Seventh War Zone."

The soldiers' combat proficiency was even better than that of Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army.

Because, only if the connections were presentable, he was one of the first people to follow Marshal Liu.

Marshal Liu had them wait for the arrival of Yu Hua and Fu Chang.

"He would come up, tear open his shirt, count his scars with me, and talk about how he was with you, Marshal, back in the day..."

For the subsequent combat deployment, Marshal Liu had Fu Chang and Yu Hua convey it.

He also couldn't help but laugh, "Hmm!"

"My Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army will certainly display the prestige of our Sichuan Army once again in the Seventh War Zone."

"Yu Hua, this kid is no simple character, Tang."

"He is the one who fought a bloody battle in Songhu and became famous in one battle; how can you say the Marshal is being rash?!"

They were also almost unable to hold back their laughter.

"The second condition, Marshal, you must dispatch a few trusted generals to go with me."

"Hiss, hiss..."

Plus, the 23rd Group Army had undergone re-equipping in Hankou.

"Yu Hua!"

While speaking, Yu Hua's eyeballs were rolling around.

"That is no problem either, who have you set your sights on, kid?"

"It is time for our 23rd Group Army to show its face in front of the people of the whole country."

Night!

He believed there would be no major problems in the Seventh War Zone.

"Yu Hua!" Tang Shizun's brows furrowed slightly, "The Marshal is having him come."

"Just let Chief of Staff Fu Chang go with me."

Speaking of the Sichuan Army's war merits, Tang Shizun basically had no combat record.

Seeing Yu Hua say this, many Sichuan Army generals in the 22nd Group Army command post were present.

Looking at Yu Hua's rolling eyes, Marshal Liu joked: "Fine!"

"You kid!" Marshal Liu grinned, "You pried Fu Chang away from me at a single glance."

During the warlord infighting within the province, Tang Shizun almost always lost battles; he couldn't beat anyone.

Looking at Yu Hua, Marshal Liu grinned and said: "Speak, what is your second condition."

Seeing everyone discussing Yu Hua, Yang Sen, who had arrived later, smiled happily.

"Marshal, you should be the one who understands Commander Tang the best."

Yu Hua nodded in satisfaction, and then he also chatted with Deng Xihou, Sun Zhen, and other Sichuan Army generals for a while.

"However you want to fight, just fight that way."

"You all, your information is a bit lagging."

Plus, he would give Tang Shizun a few more telegrams, letting him follow everything according to Adjutant Yu's plan.

For this reason, Yu Hua spread his hands, "Marshal, I have no other choice either."

His gaze swept over Marshal Liu's trusted aides.

"I will support you from behind."

The 23rd Group Army had also changed into cotton-padded clothes in Hankou.

However, because this batch of cotton-padded clothes was a bit thin, when the cold wind came, one could still feel the chill.
