The night was as cold as water, and the smoke of gunpowder on the Huaihe battlefield after the war had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.The Japanese had returned to their positions on the other side of the river that they had been on the other side of the river for many days, and a new round of confrontation between the two armies had resumed.On the Chinese defenders' positions, there was no sign of joy.The warriors who had just won the battle did not relieve their tired bodies, nor did they sing about victory.They were just silently cleaning up the corpses of their sacrificial comrades in the trenches, and all Gao Dong saw were numb faces along the way.These soldiers have no expressions, and the war has made them ruthless, turning them into efficient killing machines.It is a warm blood that still maintains the functions of their bodies, and when the Japanese army comes again, that blood will burst out with volcanic power, driving away any devil who dares to cross the battle line."
Captain, our troops have been arranged, and they will be stationed with Division Commander Wu's troops."
When Gao Dong slowly came to a hillside, Lin Fan and others also rushed to his side.Su Rou, Wang Li, Lie San, and Hu Xinghan didn't have a smile on their faces.They won, but the price was tragic, and countless Chinese sons and daughters fell on the battlefield since then.This is a glory made of flesh and blood, this is a victory created with the hope of countless families, and the victory is too tragic.Sighing, Lin Fan continued: "There is someone who wants to see you" Gao Dong looked ahead silently, the moon was full of the Huai River, and the river water shone with a silver pale light.Layers of waves rise and fall, telling the beauty of the past.This land deserves to be protected with countless flesh and blood, because this is home, and all Chinese are children of this land.And children have the right and duty to protect their own home."
Is it General Zhang Zizhong" Gao Dong turned his head slowly, he had already guessed who was going to see him.Lin Fan nodded: "Senior Commander Wu and Brigade Commander Wang have already gone."
General Zhang said, don't worry, he will warm a pot of wine and wait for you.Until you want to go, that jug of wine is always hot for you. ”"What a Confucian general."
Gao Dong shook his head and laughed, saying that there is no soldier who doesn't drink, it's not that soldiers like to drink.Rather, alcohol can numb the tired body and wounded mind, make them forget the pain and unhappiness of today, and when they wake up, they will find that everything is full of vitality as if they are a new person.Gao Dong did not let Zhang Zizhong wait for a long time, and Gao Dong had great respect for this famous anti-Japanese general who was admired by the world in later generations.This sad era has produced these famous generals, even if they are backward in tactics and outdated in their thinking.But that patriotic heart is worthy of eternal love for future generations.Zhang Zizhong's headquarters was set up in the rear relatively far away from the Huai River front, which was far away from the Japanese artillery attack, and even if the two sides fought again, the headquarters could operate freely.A military vehicle that had been waiting for a long time pulled Gao Dong to Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, accompanied by Lin Fan, Su Rou and several others.The headquarters was brightly lit, and the radio was blaring all night.There is a tight guard on all sides, and at least two companies are responsible for the security of the place.Obviously, the soldiers on duty knew Gao Dong's identity, and only let him go after a slight inspection.Gao Dong found that these soldiers were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a pride of their own in their eyes, a kind of arrogance of a Chinese person.Gao Dong hadn't seen this kind of momentum for a long time, and the eyes of the national army he saw seemed to be full of despair.Despair of war, despair of the future, despair of the top.But Zhang Zizhong's troops did not have these shadows, and there was an arrogance in their bodies that looked down on the world, "Stop, who is it" As soon as they arrived outside the gate of the headquarters, the sentry in charge of the guard once again stopped Gao Dong and others.Gao Dong was just about to speak, when a figure suddenly opened the curtain of the command headquarters, revealing Wu Qi's face."
Brother Gao, you're finally here, Commander Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wu Qi smiled and grabbed Gao Dong's hand, and didn't care about the sentry's continued questioning, and directly pulled Gao Dong into the headquarters.Lin Fan, who was standing outside the headquarters, shrugged helplessly at the sentry: "He invited him, but he didn't invite us."
We know the fun, you don't need to ask for identity, let's go to the side and wait. ”Hearing Lin Fan say this, the sentry couldn't help but smile and nodded lightly.Lin Fan took the rest of the people to the side to wait, he didn't want to embarrass a loyal sentry."
Why don't we even have a place to rest, this treatment is too different" Su Rou looked in the direction of the headquarters angrily, and said angrily: "Xiaobai, do you say it" Xiaobai squatted at Su Rou's feet, these days Su Rou always looks around for some meat to eat for it every day.Canned food or Japanese military rations, plus she has good cooking skills, so Xiaobai has become her follower puppy.Hearing Su Rou's words at this moment, Xiaobai didn't know if he understood it, so he pretended to yell at the command headquarters twice, and then really rubbed around her legs like a puppy to show flattery."
Is this good, don't be like that Gao Dong, when you see the big official, you forget about us, hum, white-eyed wolf."
Su Rou crossed her waist angrily, showing her little daughter's posture.Xiao Bai hurriedly followed and roared twice, but the corners of his mouth showed a strange expression like a smile.As if some plan had succeeded, Lin Fan looked helplessly at Su Rou, who was starting to lose her temper, and at this time he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Gao Dong.In the headquarters, a slightly ordinary-looking, thin and tall man wearing a lieutenant general's uniform sat at the top.On either side of him, sat Wu Qi, Wang Wei and three other people that Gao Dong didn't know.However, all three of them have the rank of major general, and their status is obviously not low.When the thin and tall man saw Gao Dong, he smiled slightly: "There are such powerful talents among the friendly army, Zhang is really pleased."
Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army, I had a relationship with him in my early years, and he was definitely the dragon and phoenix among people.But I didn't expect that there was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the New Fourth Army, and there were so many people who were more powerful than Ye Ting.Captain Gao, I've been admiring it for a long time. ”Gao Dong hurriedly stood up and saluted, he knew that this person must be Zhang Zizhong.The admiration that had risen in his heart for a long time was all melted into the military salute at this moment, Gao Dong didn't say anything, he just stood straight."
Very good, very good, not arrogant or impatient, with the demeanor of my Chinese man.Captain Gao, please take a seat" Zhang Zizhong stood up with a smile and pointed to a chair beside him.Gao Dong didn't shirk, strode over, and sat directly beside Zhang Zizhong.Zhang Zizhong always looked at Gao Dong with a smile, and when he saw him sitting down calmly, he couldn't help but smile and nod.In the army, especially in the army, great attention is paid to the relationship between superiors and subordinates and seniority.Influenced by traditional thinking, generally subordinates are not allowed to sit with their superiors, and even if they sit together, the subordinates will be very humble, leaning slightly on the chair to show respect for their superiors.Although Zhang Zizhong is not Gao Dong's superior, his military authority is very great.Gao Dong sat down neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his heart was as open as a gentleman, which made Zhang Zizhong very admirable, in fact, he also hated the old customs in the army the most.In his eyes, as long as he is a good soldier, regardless of his status, his status is equal, because the other party has the capital to demand equality.Zhang Zizhong served Gao Dong a pot of good wine, took it out of the hot water at this time, poured a full cup for Gao Dong himself, and said with a smile: "I often say that you can't drink alcohol when marching and fighting, but today is an exception."
Although it is not a good wine, we pay tribute to those dead soldiers and Captain Gao's great contribution to this victory.If Captain Gao hadn't eliminated the two divisions of the Japanese army in advance, I'm afraid we would still be fighting with the devils now. ”The people present raised their glasses at the same time, and after Zhang Zizhong took a sip, they raised their glasses to Gao Dong at the same time, and raised their heads to dry down.The expressions of the other three people were just average, after all, they had not personally experienced fighting with Gao Dong, and they did not understand the tragedy of the war.But Wu Qi and Wang Wei were different, they witnessed how Gao Dong turned the tide when the squadron was about to rout, and annihilated the devil with thunder like a landslide and tsunami.The admiration in their hearts has turned into the blood flowing in their bones, which will accompany them for eternity."
Captain Gao, I only said one word to my soldiers after I came to the unit.That is, to return to the army today, in addition to killing the enemy together, I am here to take them together to find a place to die.Captain Gao, I don't know where I'm going to die, maybe here, maybe somewhere else.But I, Zhang Zizhong, will never let the Japanese take away an inch of my Chinese land again, this is my promise as a soldier" Zhang Zizhong drank three glasses of wine in a row, and his eyes were already a little red.Gao Dong was silent, he knew what Zhang Zizhong meant when he said this, the soldiers he brought had died heroically, but he, the one who led the troops, was still alive and well, and he was ashamed, "General Zhang, if the Japanese invaders are not eliminated, China will never have a peaceful day."
People in my generation are just pawns in this war, today or tomorrow, and one will die.But please rest assured that General Zhang, whether it is the National Army or our New Fourth Army, at a time when the country is in danger, there is only one way to persist in resisting Japan," Gao Dong said solemnly."
Captain Gao is quick to speak, the anti-Japanese spirit shown by your New Fourth Army in this battle is worthy of our admiration."
Zhang Zizhong laughed and stood up.In fact, the dialogue between the two only shows one meaning of both sides, that is, no matter what, even if they die, they will fight to the end."
Captain Gao, are you willing to help me defend this Huaihe Front together, and it is my honor to fight with a talent like Captain Gao."
Gao Dong shook his head slowly, and Zhang Zizhong was immediately stunned and looked at him puzzled.Gao Dong smiled and said, "I'm going to Xuzhou, where a big war will break out."
I believe that I can play a bigger role there. ”Zhang Zizhong paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, Captain Gao, since you say so, then I won't keep you."
I believe that as long as my Chinese son's blood is not cold, China will never die" "If the blood is not cold, China will not die" Gao Dong repeated, holding Zhang Zizhong's hand fiercely
