Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

In the evening, Lin Tian talked with the main personnel who stayed behind in the base one by one. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when they finished, and Lin Tian fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, before dawn, Lin Tian was drowsy and listened to the noise outside gradually becoming more lively.

And from time to time there are sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

Today is the day of the POW exhibition, and I guess the folks can’t wait and are celebrating early.

Lin Tian rubbed his eyes and looked at the watch. It was just past six o'clock and the exhibition ceremony was scheduled to start at eight o'clock.

Now, it's breakfast time...

Listening to the noise outside, Lin Tianye had no desire to sleep. He stretched, yawned, put on his clothes, and walked out.

As soon as he went out, the monk came over with breakfast. Lin Tian took the bowl and squatted in front of the door to eat.

As expected, the base was very lively today.

The villagers have already arrived in the mountains one after another, and the yangko teams and drama troupes have all dressed up.

After breakfast, the soldiers were busy with their own things, making final preparations for the prisoner of war exhibition ceremony that would be held later.

A group of reporters also started to take action. Although the ceremony has not started yet, it is not impossible to take pictures of the cultural landscape of the base.

Especially the reporter from Metz, who held up his camera and kept taking pictures of the fellow villagers who came.

Metz was moved by the heartfelt smiles of the villagers and the harmonious coexistence of the Eighth Route Army soldiers with the villagers, treating each other as family members.

She is the only foreigner among the reporters and has always wanted to show the base to the world. This is a good opportunity and she must not miss it.

Lin Tian noticed that there were several more Kuomintang jeeps in the base today.

"Monk, what's going on with those jeeps?" Lin Tian asked.

"They were escorted here by comrades from the headquarters at three in the morning. They are reporters from the Central Army. Commander, you were already asleep at that time, so we didn't disturb you." The monk replied.

"Escorted from headquarters?" Lin Tian murmured.

The meaning is very clear.

I guess the news has spread too fast in the past few days, and domestic newspapers can no longer sit still.

Come if you want, the Chinese people also need to celebrate.

At this time, the reporters from the Central Army were interviewing several cadres in the base.

These cadres had never seen such a scene, with all the guns and cannons. Before they finished answering the question, the next person started asking another question.

I was so anxious for a while...

"Our Deputy Chief of Staff Lin is there. You can go and interview him. We still have to bring the prisoners of war out." At this time, a cadre saw Lin Tian squatting at the door eating breakfast and suddenly shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes, you go interview our commander. We are the ones who stayed behind and we don't know anything." Other cadres also echoed.

At the same time, I kept repeating in my heart, Commander, we really can't bear it, please don't blame us...

Lin Tian raised his head, and his eyes met with the reporters who turned around.

"Well, I can't even have a good breakfast..." Lin Tianxin thought.

"Monk, take it away first and heat it up for me at noon. Don't waste it." Lin Tian shook his head, returned the breakfast in his hand to the monk and said.

"Yes, Commander, hehe, Commander, these reporters from the Central Army are very fashionable. Look at those women... hehe." The monk brought the bowl and smiled with his eyes slanted.

The monk thought that Lin Tian might be like him and still liked Chinese women.

There happened to be two very pretty reporters among the Central Army reporters, dressed in a very stylish way, with big waves and long skirts, which was very suitable for the commander...

"Go away! Go recite your sutras!" Lin Tian slapped the monk on the back and scolded him with a smile.

This monk is definitely an expert at forcing people to get married in the future.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Lin...I am Xu Li, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao!"

"Commander Lin, I'm Yu Manli, a reporter from Central Daily News!"

"Deputy Chief of Staff Lin, I am Wang Peiwen, a reporter from Youth Daily..."

"..."

A group of reporters' eyes lit up when they saw Lin Tian and they immediately surrounded him.

Lin Tian suddenly felt overwhelmed.

However, he seemed to hear the name of an acquaintance...

"What's your name?" Lin Tian asked the female reporter from Central Daily News.

"Hello, Commander Lin, my name is Yu Manli. I'm a reporter sent by the Central Daily News to interview and record your army's prisoners of war exhibition." Yu Manli said with a professional smile.

Lin Tian stared at Yu Manli with a strange look on his face.

Manli...Manli...Isn't that Miss Manli?

In the TV series, during the War of Liberation, when Chu Yunfei bombarded our army, it was this Chu Yunfei whom Miss Manli interviewed.

Lin Tian still remembered that Chu Yunfei said he was going to launch a general attack on Miss Manli... Oh no, before launching the general attack, he wanted to be alone with Miss Manli for a while...

Could it be the Yu Manli in front of me?

Now this becomes interesting...

Lin Tian suddenly thought of Chu Yunfei, and he didn’t know what Chu Yunfei was doing at the moment.

He had already completed the previous bet ahead of time.

Chu Yunfei didn't know when he would join him...

When Lin Tian fell into deep thought, Yu Manli's pretty face turned red as she was stared at by Lin Tian. Even though she was well-mannered, she felt uncomfortable being stared at for so long by a member of the opposite sex.

But she didn't see that meaning in Lin Tian's eyes...

Other reporters saw Lin Tian staring at Yu Manli and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Deputy Chief of Staff Lin knew Miss Yu Manli?

"Commander Lin..." Yu Manli said in a low voice.

"Uh... I was thinking about something and got distracted for a moment. Sorry." Lin Tian came back to his senses and realized that his behavior was impolite, so he said.

"Commander Lin, can you accept our interview?" Yu Manli asked.

"Of course, Miss Manli, please start first." Lin Tian said, "Then ask questions one by one, and you will get satisfactory answers."

"Well, Commander Lin, we know that you led your troops to launch a surprise attack on Taiyuan this time, and recovered Taiyuan in one fell swoop, and also wiped out the Japanese troops who came to encircle you. May I ask, how did you do it? Or where does your courage come from?" Yu Manli asked.

Not only was she curious about this question, but other reporters present were also curious.

Yes, where does his courage come from?

You know, even the Central Army with a million soldiers did not dare to rashly attack a strategic location like Taiyuan.

How dare Commander Lin do this?

When they heard Yu Manli ask this, they prepared paper and pen and listened attentively, afraid of missing a single word.

"Haha, this question is actually not difficult to answer. My courage or my confidence comes from my troops and from the hatred that every Chinese has for the devils."

"Also, the combat effectiveness of our Chinese army is not weak. We have been afraid of the Japanese for too long. This time, I want to tell every Chinese person that as long as they dare to fight, they will win!"

Lin Tian clenched his fists and said.
