  Zhang Xinghan led the charge into the big tent, shouting loudly: "No one is allowed to move! We are the Eastern Army's night raid assault team! According to the exercise rules, you have all been wiped out!"

  Zhao Desheng and Sun Siwei also raised their guns, panting as they surrounded the crowd inside the big tent.

  Chairman Chiang, General Zhang Zhizhong and Gui Yongqing were startled by the sudden appearance of Zhang Xinghan and his men. The bodyguards standing next to Chairman Chiang immediately shielded him behind them, pointing their guns at Zhang Xinghan's group. If they made any suspicious move, the guards would not hesitate to blow their heads off.

  Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly, only to find that something was not quite right. There were several generals in the entire command center, and at this time, there was only one Major General Gui Yongqing in the Instructional General Corps.

  It was Gu Yongqing who reacted quickly, immediately drawing his own pistol and pointing it at Zhang Xinghan, shouting loudly: "You scoundrels, how did you get in? Who let you in?"

  General Zhang Zhizhong, who was beside him, saw that it was Zhang Xinghan and hastily stopped the gun of Gui Yongqing. He asked Zhang Xinghan, "Xinghan, how did you get here? Isn't this a drill?"

  "Reporting to the Education Corps! We are the Eastern Army's night raid squad, originally our target was to attack the Western Army's artillery position, but they suddenly launched an attack, so we lost the opportunity. On the way back, we finally discovered the Western Army's headquarters. According to the exercise regulations, the exercise is conducted with real combat standards, so I led my troops to attack the Western Army's headquarters! That's what happened." Zhang Xinghan replied loudly and put away his gun, knowing he had made a big mistake, and directly told the truth.

  "Oh! Is that so? Doesn't this violate the exercise regulations?" General Zhang Zhizhong asked, seemingly asking Zhang Xinghan, but also as if saying it to Gui Yongqing and the others again.

  Zhang Xinghan was so clever that he naturally understood the intention of General Zhang Zhizhong, and immediately replied loudly: "Report to the Education Minister, the exercise regulations only say that it is not allowed to capture, not allowed to disguise and infiltrate, not allowed to hire farmers and destroy buildings. Which one did we violate?"

  "Good! The young people have done a great job!" Chiang Kai-shek walked up from behind the guard, clapping his hands with a smile. Indeed, when Zhang Xinghan and others rushed in, they really gave Chiang Kai-shek a fright, thinking that it was the rebel army that had charged in.

  As soon as he saw it was Zhang Xinghan and heard their conversation, Chiang Kai-shek figured out the situation and confirmed there was no danger, then he stood up.

  "We've seen the principal!" Zhang Xinghan and others hastily stood up straight and saluted loudly.

  "Hmm!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded in satisfaction and said, "Xing Han, how did you know the location of the Western Army Headquarters? You can speak frankly on this point. At least, you must make your senior brother Gui admit defeat graciously!"

  Zhang Xinghan glanced at Gui Yongqing and immediately stood up straight to answer: "Reporting to the principal, the students followed your motorcade! The students were about to lead their troops back to reinforce after discovering that the planes attacking the artillery position had lost contact. Unexpectedly, they found your motorcade and dared to follow it to find the headquarters of the Western Army."

  "Good! Young and yet so thoughtful, able to seize fleeting opportunities in adversity and turn defeat into victory. Truly a pillar of talent for the future of our party and country!" Chairman Chiang exclaimed with great joy upon hearing this.

  General Zhang Zhizhong listened to the side and also nodded in agreement, indeed, this hand was revealed very beautifully. From now on, General Zhang Zhizhong had already seen that Zhang Xinghan would be an elite among this group of students and would become a dazzling star in the future! He believed that Mr. Chiang Kai-shek had also seen this point, from Mr. Chiang's excitement, one could see it.

  As expected, Chairman Chiang was delighted and then turned to Gui Yongqing and said: "Yongqing, you lost this battle without shame! The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

  "Yes, yes!" Gui Yongqing also lost with a willing heart. He couldn't blame Chairman Chiang for bringing Zhang Xinghan here, could he? With a humble expression, he nodded repeatedly.

  Just then, a senior military officer strode in, without saluting, and saw Chiang Kai-shek first look surprised, then suddenly stand up straight and salute: "Your Excellency!"

  "Hmm! What's the situation? Report it! I'm just an onlooker! The exercise continues!" Chairman Chiang nodded in satisfaction and raised his hand.

  "Yes!" The colonel officer stood up straight and responded, then turned around to report to Gui Yongqing: "Report to the commander-in-chief, our troops have annihilated most of the main force of the Eastern Army, and in two hours, we will be able to annihilate them all and win this exercise."

  "Hmm!" Gu Yongqing let out a cold hum, his face looking unpleasant as he said: "Still want to...". The word "win" was not spoken due to Chiang Kai-shek's presence beside him. He paused for a moment before continuing: "Ten minutes ago, the Eastern Army's Night Raid Strike Team had already surrounded the Western Army Headquarters! Western Army Commander-in-Chief Gu Yongqing, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhenqiang, and all combat personnel of the Headquarters were killed in action. The Western Army suffered a crushing blow to its command system and was defeated without a fight."

  "Pass the order down! Western army, all camps immediately stop attacking. This exercise, Eastern army wins!" Gu Yongqing quickly collected his emotions and calmly gave the order.

  "Yes!" The colonel stood up straight with a slap, saluted Chiang and the others one by one, then turned around and left in big strides.

  After the school military officer left, Chairman Chiang smiled and walked up to Zhang Xinghan, saying: "Xinghan, work hard, two months later at the graduation ceremony, I will personally present you with a medal and diploma."

  "Yes!" Zhang Xinghan stood up straight and saluted loudly in response.

  ……….

  The next day, at the Central Military Academy, Chairman Chiang's official residence.

  Chiang Kai-shek summoned Gui Yongqing and Zhang Zhizhong for a discussion on important matters.

  Chiang Kai-shek sat on the sofa and spoke first, saying: "Wen Bai, Yong Qing, I've called you here this time to discuss something."

  "Please instruct us!" said Gui Yongqing and Zhang Zhizhong in unison, their faces filled with humility.

  "It is like this, the Soviet Union's Frunze Military Academy has selected their best students from this semester to undergo a one-year separate military training, mainly to cultivate these excellent talents. In order to improve the tactical literacy and level of our Central Military Academy students, I invited them to come to China for special training two months ago. After consultation with them, it was decided that our Central Military Academy can select 30 of its best students from this semester to train together! Today, I'm telling you this news, as for the selection, you can choose the most excellent ones from the students of this semester, and among these 30 places, the Teaching Corps has 10, and the remaining 20 will be selected by Wen Bai." Chairman Chiang spoke fluently.

  "Please rest assured, I will definitely select the top 10 outstanding graduates from last semester and let them bring glory to our country and to the Central Military Academy!" Gu Yongqing hastily stood up to express his attitude.

  "Hmm!" Chairman Chiang nodded his head, saying to General Zhang Zhizhong with profound meaning: "Wen Bai, among the students this term, I only recommend one person to you, and that is Zhang Xinghan. The rest of the selection is up to you."

  "Yes! Frankly and clearly, without hiding from Your Excellency, the first person I thought of is also Zhang Xinghan!" General Zhang Zhizhong stood up with a smile and replied.

  "Hmm! A month later, a delegation from the Soviet Frunze Military Academy will arrive in Nanjing. At that time, at the graduation ceremony of the 10th batch of students, this news can be announced! Alright, you all go and get busy." Chairman Chiang nodded and waved his hand.

  "Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave!" Zhang and Gui stood up simultaneously to respond, then turned around and left.

  "PS: Brothers, in the last two days of the new book period, I request that everyone recommends a vote to support it and let Autumn Wind's ranking move forward a bit! Endless gratitude!"
