Chapter 74: Following the Vine to Find the Melon

Dai Chunfeng spoke up: "Principal!"

"I have received a report from my subordinates that you are heading to the Songhu Battlefield front lines this time."

"The devils have dispatched a small squad, preparing to ambush you."

Upon hearing this, Principal Chang nodded, "Mm!"

"I am aware of this matter."

Qian Dajun grinned and said: "Principal, you are heading to the Third War Zone this time to convene the supreme military conference."

"Why not call it off and not go to the front lines?"

"This is the supreme military conference of the Third War Zone; I cannot be absent."

Speaking to this point, Principal Chang paused, "Also."

"Present!" Tang Songyuan arrived before Yang Sen.

The troops underwent a small-scale change of attire, making the Sichuan Army look a bit more like a proper military force.

The soldiers of the 1st Regiment forcibly swallowed their saliva.

"Oh my, Old Xia, your eyes are still as sharp as ever."

That would cause tremendous harm to the Third War Zone.

"You are to take up your post immediately and lose no time in restoring the unit's combat effectiveness."

"I left her at the army headquarters."

Arriving beside Xia Jiong, Yang Sen grinned.

"This student has a plan."

Upon hearing this, Principal Chang felt that this method of Dai Chunfeng's was not bad.

Yu Hua stood in front of the ranks, giving a lecture to the soldiers of the 1st Regiment.

"Catch this person, interrogate them thoroughly, and round up all the eyes and ears planted by the devils in one fell swoop!"

"Especially the troops guarding Dunwu Temple, this heroic army."

"Some soldiers' uniforms are already worn to rags; now that the autumn wind is blowing, it is bone-chillingly cold."

"The routes planned this time are numerous, but the real route—we will decide when we set off."

"Right now on the Songhu Battlefield, there are not only the Central Army but also local troops; I must go to the front lines."

After all, secrets had been leaked the previous two times.

"You take Company Commander Yu to the logistics department and get twenty sets of uniforms."

"Right!" Principal Chang thought of the two leaks, his eyes narrowing, a cold glint flashing within them.

After the lecture was finished, everyone began to change into the uniforms.

"We cannot use the previous plan."

"Very good!"

Looking at the brand-new uniforms, his heart was filled with deep emotion.

"A temporary decision on exactly how to proceed."

"No matter how bitter it is, we must keep fighting."

"There are some more." Yang Sen said: "What is it?"

"In view of your brave combat and excellent performance at Dunwu Temple."

At the 20th Army headquarters, Yu Hua changed into a new uniform.

He, this Acting Company Commander, had finally been confirmed in his position.

"Mm!" Principal Chang nodded, "You all may go down and make proper arrangements."

Yu Hua came before Yang Jun and said: "Xiao Ningxin, where did you leave that reporter?"

Yang Sen specifically ran to a second-hand stall in Jinling to buy himself a woolen military uniform.

"By the way, investigate who is secretly passing information to the devils."

Take Army Commander Yang Sen for example; when the 20th Army left Chuan to resist the war, Principal Chang had summoned Yang Sen in advance.

After the two of them conferred, they temporarily planned three routes.

20th Army Command Post.

"I would like to get twenty sets of uniforms!" Yu Hua sighed deeply, "The battle at Dunwu Temple."

"We shall proceed according to your plan, Yunong."

"The Sichuan Army fought very well on the Songhu Battlefield."

"Adjutant, bring a Captain's uniform for Company Commander Yu," said Deputy Army Commander Xia Jiong from the side.

"The results were also very significant; this indeed exceeded my expectations."

"Yes!" Tang Songyuan saluted, then led Yu Hua away from the army headquarters.

"What plan do you have? Tell me about it."

"As the Supreme Commander of the Republic of China, your safety, Principal, is of the utmost importance."

"Let them have a good rest."

In order to leave a good impression on Principal Chang.

"Make it clear to the many generals that although this battle was arduous."

"Brothers, this uniform is a reward bestowed upon us by the Army Commander."

He saw that the clothes on Yu Hua's body already had many holes.

"You have filled in what I had missed."

Then, Dai Chunfeng and Qian Dajun would have to re-strengthen Principal Chang's security.

"We must replan this route."

"When she first arrived at the military headquarters, she said she wanted to interview the Sichuan Army."

"Capture this national traitor."

When the little devils' planes drop a Bomb, it wipes everyone out in one go.

He said: "I must go to the Songhu Battlefield."

Yang Sen looked at Tang Songyuan, "Also, add some dishes for the soldiers of the 1st Regiment."

Since Principal Chang has decided to go to the Songhu Battlefield.

Yang Sen patted Yu Hua on the shoulder: "Yu Hua!"

"There are only about twenty soldiers left in the 1st Regiment now."

Silence fell in Principal Chang's office.

"I must go and see, to increase the confidence of our countrymen in the War of Resistance."

Once the little devils' small units discover a target, they provide guidance for the planes.

Yang Sen only promoted Yu Hua, but did not get him any clothes.

Dai Chunfeng did not speak, and the two stood one on the left and one on the right.

"As long as it's feasible, I will consider it."

Hearing this, Principal Chang's eyes turned to Dai Chunfeng, and he said: "Yunong."

For the highest military conference of the Third War Zone, all General Officer level commanders of Divisions and Brigades must be present.

"Company Commander!"

"After all, there are too many unstable factors on the front line."

"The meal was also ordered by the Army Commander."

Here he saw brand-new military uniforms, as well as hot meals.

Xia Jiong had no choice but to speak up himself.

Dai Chunfeng stepped out, "Principal!"

Looking like a beggar, Yang Sen also knew that Principal Chang attached great importance to a soldier's appearance and grooming.

"We fought well at Dunwu Temple."

"However, in order to complete the protracted war of attrition, we must trade space for time, and accumulate small victories into a great victory."

"Principal!" Dai Chunfeng said excitedly: "Cao Cao's seventy-two tombs."

"When you arrange the route for my trip to the Third War Zone to hold the highest military conference."

This brand-new military uniform was also obtained as a supply replenishment after the Sichuan Army entered the Third War Zone.

Otherwise, why would the little devils send small units to launch a sneak attack?

"I am now officially appointing you as a Captain Company Commander, after our army returns to the rear to rest and reorganize."

After finishing speaking, Qian Dajun stepped back to the side.

"Yes!" Yu Hua saluted Yang Sen.

Principal Chang's route to Songhu this time has already been arranged, and it is estimated that the devils have long since learned of it.

Yu Hua looked at Yang Sen, "Do we still have many military uniforms in our military headquarters' logistics?"

"Adjutant Tang!" Yang Sen shouted.

Why is the Sichuan Army called beggars?

"Yes!" Qian Dajun and Dai Chunfeng nodded in unison, "Principal, the students will take their leave."

"The Army Commander and the Chiefs of Staff are also willing to be interviewed; she is probably chatting with the Army Commander and the others right now!"

That is because the Sichuan Army is very poor.

He put on the General Officer collar insignia of the Army before going to Principal Chang's office building to pay his respects.

After leaving Principal Chang's office, Qian Dajun and Dai Chunfeng discussed the issue of Principal Chang's route.

Yang Sen, who arrived in Jinling early, discovered that his military uniform was tattered and old when he went to see Principal Chang.

"We can follow the method Cao Cao used to set up his tombs."

After Yang Jun led the remaining Sichuan Army soldiers to the military headquarters, they were taken to the logistics department.

Yang Sen had been partners with Xia Jiong for so long; his old comrade was very good at checking for omissions and making up for deficiencies.

"Army Commander!"

It was Principal Chang who broke the silence.

"Everyone, change into your military uniforms first, and then prepare to eat."

After listening to Qian Dajun's words, Principal Chang thought carefully for a long time.

"Yes!" Dai Chunfeng stood straight, "Please rest assured, Principal, this time I will definitely follow the vine to find the melon."

Hearing this, Yu Hua was a little worried; he let Yang Jun organize the men to eat.

He himself went to the military headquarters to check the situation.
