Chapter 70: The Expeditionary Force


When Chen Bei came back from the chairman's residence, he locked himself in his room for two hours and did not eat dinner.

Chen Zikun knew the reason and sent Xia Xiaoqing to enlighten his son.

Xia Xiaoqing entered the room, and Chen Bei sat blankly in front of the window with half a bottle of whiskey in front of him, smelling of alcohol.

As his son grew older, he became somewhat estranged from his mother.

In addition, due to frequent combat missions, Chen Bei did not have as much communication with his mother, Xia Xiaoqing, as he did with his godmother, Song Meiling.

However, after all, mother and son were connected.

Chen Bei cried and said, "Mother." , I’m so depressed.”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "If you have any questions, just tell me, and my mother will make the decision for you."

Chen Beidao: "Lisa is dead.

I know she will never commit suicide, but no one seems to care about her life or death, not even the godmother.

It's like it's just an ant that died, but that's not the case."

Ants are a living human life.”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "In the eyes of dignitaries, the lives of ordinary people are like ants.

This has been the case since ancient times.

You are not deeply involved in the world, and you still don't understand many things."

Chen Beidao: "My godmother has received American education since she was a child, and she often talks about freedom, democracy, and equality.

But what happened today makes me feel that she is very strange.

She is elegant and decent, but cruel and ruthless.

She seems more like a queen looking down on all the people than a kind and kind leader's wife.

This is not the godmother in my mind. " Xia Xiaoqing said: "My child, you and them are not the same person after all.

Your father is a bandit in the old forests of Guandong, and he is a chivalrous man.

You have been wandering around the world with your mother since you were a child.

The blood of heroes flows in your veins.

The last thing you want to see is that ordinary people are harmed by others.

Bullying, mother understands you, don’t interact with that godmother of Lao Shizi in the future.”

Chen Bei nodded: "I will not go to her place again in the future, but there must be an explanation for Lisa's death.

Mrs.

Jiang doesn't care about this case, and the police and the court will not care about it.

Could it be that people died in vain?"

" Xia Xiaoqing sneered: "That bullshit police prosecutor's office is only for the rich.

If the poor want to redress their grievances, they can only rely on their own fists.

If they don't stand up, my mother will stand up for you."

Chen Bei was surprised and said: "Mom, what are you going to do?"

Xia Xiaoqing said: "In the past few days, Tang sent some people to our house to stomp on the plates.

They pretended that I didn't know and didn't even urinate to look after myself.

When I went out to fight for justice, they were still playing in the mud.

I have already thought about it, and I will strike first."

Chen Beidao: "Mom, you want to kill someone" Xia Xiaoqing said: "No, mother doesn't kill people, she only sets fires.

The man surnamed Tang is in the gasoline business, so he lit Gouri's oil depot on fire and made him cry."

Chen Bei was extremely excited: "Mom, I'm going too."

Xia Xiaoqing said: "You are tall and strong, but your Qinggong skills are not good enough.

Don't cause trouble to my mother.

If you are willing to help, you can get me something that I can take advantage of, such as a grenade or something."

Chen Beidao: "There are hand grenades, but setting them on fire is unprofessional.

Why not get some white phosphorus, get a few Molotov cocktails, and throw them into a sea of ​​​​fire, which can't be extinguished even if you put it out.

It will definitely work."

"Okay, let's do it."

The mother and son were brewing a big case, and others were also busy.

Lin Wenjing asked her younger brother Wenlong to take action, and wrote a sharp article exposing a report that a senior military official was selling military gasoline.

It was published under a pseudonym in major newspapers in Chongqing.

Although he didn't mention him by name, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was talking about Tang Enbo.

Xinhua Daily quickly reprinted the article and published an editorial expressing concern about the corruption situation.

For a while, Tang En was on pins and needles and had no intention of dealing with Chen Zikun.

One night in early March, Xia Xiaoqing and her son quietly came to the cargo yard of Tang's Oil Co., Ltd. on the outskirts of Chongqing.

The place was heavily guarded, with high walls covered with glass fragments and barbed wire.

They thought it was a prison.

This kind of high-wall defense is okay for ordinary thieves, but it is useless in front of the Qinggong masters from Cangzhou Yanzimen.

Xia Xiaoqing, who was dressed in night clothes, stepped back a few steps, raised his breath, stepped on the wall, and stood on the wall to watch. , gasoline barrels in the cargo yard It was piled up like a mountain, and there were at least three teams of night watchmen, all with wolves and dogs.

There were warning signs everywhere that it was strictly forbidden to use candles.

Fire prevention measures were strict, including fire buckets and various equipment and tools, and a sand pile specifically used to put out oil fires. of.

The defense was tight and it was extremely difficult to attack.

Xia Xiaoqing's brain was working quickly and he came up with a plan.

He jumped off the high wall and whispered a few words to his son.

Chen Bei kept nodding, took out the Molotov cocktail he had prepared, opened his stance and threw it in.

New York Yang The professional pitching arm of the base team was extremely strong.

The Molotov cocktail flew into the cargo yard in a parabola, fell to the open space and broke into pieces.

The white phosphorus in the kerosene burned when it met the air, and a sea of ​​​​fire broke out.

When the oil company's attendants discovered the fire, they hurriedly came from all directions, shouting and yelling to put out the fire.

They were very experienced.

This kind of fire was difficult to extinguish and had to be covered with sand.

While they were in a hurry, the second and third Molotov cocktails roared over and ignited a raging fire.

Fortunately, they were still far away from the stack of gasoline barrels and could not cause an explosion.

However, this had already overwhelmed the staff on duty, and some people were busy.

To put out the fire, some people rushed out of the gate to catch the arsonist.

No one noticed that a black figure quietly entered the goods yard.

Xia Xiaoqing moved as fast as a civet.

She first got a washbasin in the duty room, then went to the gasoline barrel stack, unscrewed the lid of the barrel and took a basin of gasoline.

She poured the oil as she walked, poured it to the wall, and dropped the washbasin.

He struck a match and threw it, and a line of fire quickly extended into the goods yard.

By the time the on-duty personnel discovered the danger, it was already too late.

Hundreds of gasoline barrels were stacked in the cargo yard.

Once a fire broke out, it would be impossible to save it, because it was not an ordinary fire, but a devastating explosion.

A violent explosion occurred in the cargo yard of Tang's Oil Company, and half of the sky was lit up by the blazing flames.

Xia Xiaoqing and her son left without looking back, with a heroic look on their faces after a heroic act of heroism.

When the couple returned home, they saw a house full of friends.

Chen Zikun was radiant and chatting and laughing with a tall American general.

When their son came back, they introduced him: "Xiaobei, this is your father's old friend of twenty years, Joseph Stilwell."

Lieutenant General, Chief of Staff of the Allied China Theater, will soon serve as Commander of the China-Burma-India Theater.”

Xia Xiaoqing never interfered with such scenes and quietly went upstairs.

Chen Bei stood at attention, saluted and greeted the superior.

Stilwell exchanged a few words with him and continued chatting with Chen Zikun.

Chen Bei sat beside him and listened to the content of their conversation.

Stilwell wanted to recommend his father to be the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and lead the army into Burma to assist the British army in defending Japan.

He couldn't help but be elated.

When Tang Entong arrived at the scene, the goods yard had been burned to the ground, and the damage was immeasurable.

The surviving duty officer told him what happened.

He turned pale with anger, shook his body twice, spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground. .

Tang Enbo, who was on the front line, quickly received the news and gritted his teeth.

Chen Zikun must have sent someone to deliberately set the fire, and he would not hesitate to take the lawsuit to the front of the committee.

Commander Tang found an excuse to fly back to Chongqing, and took the opportunity to report the war situation to the Chairman of the Generalissimo to mention that his brother's company was set on fire.

Chiang Kai-shek looked indifferent and said: "Gasoline is now hard to come by in the Chongqing market.

That brother of yours has never been there."

Where can we get so many scarce supplies?”

Tang Enbo was speechless.

"Okay, you go back to the front line, serve the party and the country well, and don't think nonsense."

Chiang Kai-shek dismissed Tang Enbo, returned to the inner room, told Soong Meiling about the matter, and said: "I don't think it was Chen Zikun who did it.

As a teenager, he won't act like Meng Lang, but his son is a troublemaker. " Song Meiling smiled and said: "Really, then this kid is really naughty.

I will teach him a lesson later.

By the way, Darling, I want to help him be a matchmaker.

What do you think of Janet?"

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head fiercely: "No, not to mention the quarrel between Chen Zikun and Kong Xiangxi.

Both children are lawless.

If they get together, they will not poke a hole in the sky, absolutely not."

Song Meiling smiled: "I'm just talking casually."

Tang Enbo returned angrily and found some military friends to drink.

He became drunk and vowed to kill Chen Zikun to vent his bad breath.

"Lao Tang, this matter is just for discussion in front of a few of us.

Don't spread it out.

Chen Zikun is a very popular figure now.

You can't afford to offend him," one person advised.

"How to say" "China, the United States and Britain formed an alliance.

The United States sent a general named Stilwell to serve as the chief of staff of the Allied China Theater.

This man is an old friend of Chen Zikun and has a close relationship.

There are rumors that Chen Zikun will be appointed as the commander of the expeditionary force. , this is a bad job."

Tang Enbo took a breath.

If Chen Zikun got involved with an American, he really couldn't afford to offend him.

At the same time, Chen Zikun's home was also full of guests.

Some senior military officials who had not often interacted with each other came to visit with gifts, simply because they wanted to find a position in the expeditionary force.

After the Sino-British Joint Defense Agreement on the Burma Road was signed at the end of last year, Chongqing organized the Chinese Expeditionary Force to prepare to go to Burma to participate in the war.

However, the candidate for the first road commander was not yet decided, but the troops were in place.

Among them was Sun Liren, an old acquaintance of Chen Zikun.

The general who came from the Tax Police Corps is now the division commander of the Army's new 38th Division.

Xue Bin also wore his uniform again and became the deputy commander of the 38th Division thanks to Sun Liren's connections.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

The news that Steve Stilwell recommended Chen Zikun has long been spread, but Chen Zikun himself disagrees.

He knows Chiang Kai-shek too well.

The expeditionary force is the elite of the national army.

How could it be handed over to someone who is not a direct lineage candidate?

The more he The better the relationship with Stilwell, the less likely he is to be the commander-in-chief.

But he still accepts all the gifts that come to his door, and he doesn't refuse anyone who comes.

He agrees to all the requests, but he can't fulfill them anyway.

If he rejects them blindly, he is afraid that he will be accused of being arrogant and having a high vision.

Sure enough, in the end, the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the first line was settled, not Chen Zikun, but Luo Zhuoying.

The person who actually took the command was Du Yuming, and Chen Zikun didn't even get a deputy position.

The expeditionary force marched into Burma in great force, and Chen Zikun quietly left and sneaked back to Jiangbei to continue the fight against Japan
