Chapter 41 Promotion to Major
As a time traveler naturally knew the reasons why the Chinese army suffered successive defeats in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Although Chu Yunfei's explanation was not comprehensive, for example, many local warlords had their own little thoughts, they only wanted to preserve their own strength and did not work hard on the battlefield. As soon as the Japanese guns and artillery sounded, they turned around and fled.
But the fact that Chu Yunfei can point out so many issues is enough to show his strategic vision and ability to analyze the current situation.
The most important thing is that Yang Lin also heard from Chu Yunfei's words that not only did he not blame him for mobilizing troops without authorization, but he also encouraged his behavior.
This made him extremely happy. He no longer had to worry about being held accountable if he continued to make money quietly.
"The leader has a broad mind and is concerned about the country and the people. This is a blessing for the country and the nation."
Yang Lin's words came from the heart and were not meant to flatter. In fact, Chu Yunfei in the TV series is also a soldier worthy of respect.
"Brother Yang Lin, you are too serious. To be honest, we were unable to keep the enemy out of our country, which led to the destruction of the country and the loss of countless people's homes and homes. It was all because of the incompetence of our soldiers!"
After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued, "However, Japan is a country with few resources, and almost all strategic materials, such as rubber, oil, and steel, are dependent on imports.
The Japanese high-ranking officials encouraged their soldiers to have the courage to fight the enemy hand-to-hand on the battlefield, saying that this was to promote the spirit of Bushido and to strengthen their fighting will.
"This is pure bullshit. It's just a big lie that they told because they were short of supplies."
"They started a war and invaded China, talking about the glory of Greater East Asia, but in fact they just wanted to plunder our resources and land."
"However, as the Japanese front line continues to extend, their resources have long been stretched to the limit. Even though the Japanese-occupied areas are everywhere now, they are actually like grasshoppers in autumn, and they will not be able to jump for much longer. The final victory will definitely belong to China, and it can only belong to China!"
Speaking of the Japanese devils, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look indignant.
Yang Lin nodded in agreement, completely agreeing with Chu Yunfei's analysis of the current situation.
In fact, a big reason why the Japanese army was defeated in World War II was that the front line was too long, resulting in a shortage of troops and insufficient supplies.
In particular, the attack on Pearl Harbor provoked the Pacific War and pushed the United States into the Allied camp.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Chinese army at that time, even if it could defeat the Japanese army, the price it would have to pay would be too high.
The more likely possibility is that they would be defeated by the Japanese army, and the entire China would completely fall under the iron hoof of the Japanese army.
"What the commander said is right. Japan is just a tiny country. Trying to cut off the inheritance of our great China is like a snake swallowing an elephant. The final result will only swallow itself to death."
The two chatted about the current situation for a while and slowly got down to business.
"By the way, brother Yang Lin, look at my memory. I have been chatting for so long that I have forgotten the important matter."
As he spoke, Chu Yunfei took a document from Sun Ming: "This is a commendation order from the headquarters for you."
"That's it? That's all?"
After reading the commendation letter, Yang Lin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
This was a commendation order personally issued by Yan Laoxi, commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, but it was just a verbal praise and did not give any benefits to the independent battalion.
Not to mention guns and ammunition, there wasn't even a dollar in cash.
Chu Yunfei next to him did smile slightly. He winked at his adjutant Sun Ming, who immediately picked up another letter of appointment and read it out in a serious tone.
"Recently, the independent brigade first captured Wanjia Town and then the Japanese railway station. This not only dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders in northwest Shanxi, but also enhanced our military prestige and demonstrated the momentum of Chinese soldiers."
"In view of Yang Lin's outstanding performance in this battle, he is promoted to major battalion commander, and the original independent battalion's designation is changed to independent battalion."
"Appoint Yang Lin as the commander of the independent battalion. This decree will take effect immediately from the date of issuance."
"I hope you will not forget your original intention, continue to be loyal and brave for the country, and enhance the prestige of our army..."
After the reading, Sun Ming handed the letter of appointment to Yang Lin.
However, he was in a daze and could not recover from the huge shock for a while.
Is this a promotion?
"Ding, system prompt: Congratulations to the host for being promoted to major, and you will be awarded a radio station, an advanced "Radio Soldier Mastery" skill book, merit points +300 million, experience points +30,000, and the skill book will be automatically merged with the host."
"Ding, system prompt: Congratulations to the host for leveling up and obtaining a gold treasure chest."

Yang Lin glanced at the attribute panel. As the level increased, he clearly felt that his physical fitness had improved to a higher level.
And as long as he upgrades one more level, he can unlock the system mall. The thought of it really makes him excited.
As for radio stations, they are definitely a scarce commodity in this era.
Even for the Central Army, at least the regiment-level units are eligible to be equipped. Note that it means being eligible, not necessarily having it.
If it is an ordinary local army, it may even have to be a brigade or even a division level unit to have it.
The independent battalion is only a battalion-level unit and yet it has its own radio station. This may not be unique in the national army, but if it is told to others, it will definitely make others envious.
Chu Yunfei didn't know that Yang Lin was observing his attribute panel. Seeing him looking at the letter of appointment in his hand with a calm expression, he couldn't help but praise him, "Brother Yang Lin, you have been promoted to a major battalion commander at such a young age, and you can still maintain this calmness and composure, neither happy nor unhappy, neither arrogant nor impatient.
No wonder he was able to achieve such military feats and capture the enemy chieftain amidst a huge army."
Yang Lin was sweating profusely, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander."
Chu Yunfei thought he was just being modest and continued, "First of all, congratulations to Brother Yang on your promotion to Major Battalion Commander. Secondly, I hope you will not let down Commander Zhan Yan's training.
In the future, we will continue to kill more enemies and enhance our military prestige."
After saying that, Chu Yunfei applauded.
Soon, an orderly came in from outside carrying a tray.
The tray contained a brand new major officer's uniform and a pair of brand new military boots.
