When Commander Sun and all the personnel of the headquarters took the brigade out of Dongguan and headed north, he ordered Deputy Army Commander Cha to return to Dongguan on horseback, and saw Wang Qingjiu, deputy commander of the artillery brigade, that the artillery brigade must overcome difficulties and must keep up with the main force, and closely instructed him for a while before he rode away.

The artillery brigade was also ready to go outside the Baijia compound in Dongguan, the West Platform, the Wang family compound and the Li family compound. Deputy brigade commander Wang Qingjiu convened the commanders of the artillery regiments for a brief meeting. After the meeting was adjourned, the regimental commanders rushed back to their stations to prepare for departure. After Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Qingjiu inspected all the departments directly under the brigade headquarters, he waited for Brigade Commander Bai to give an order and set off immediately.

At this moment, Wang Qiang, the commander of the independent regiment that had been promoted, sent Xu Xinming, chief of staff, back to the artillery brigade headquarters to find Brigade Commander Bai. Seeing that Brigade Commander Bai was still at home and had not come, he said to Deputy Brigade Commander Wang; "Commander Wang of our independent regiment said that an artillery regiment can be sent to set off quickly, and the independent regiment can send a battalion of soldiers to help the artillery regiment that follows up to transport weapons and ammunition, and can also tow artillery when needed......" After Chief of Staff Xu finished speaking, he saluted Deputy Brigade Commander Wang, flew on his horse, galloped away, and the horse's hooves raised a puff of dust.

Deputy Brigade Commander Wang sent someone to inform the 13th Artillery Regiment stationed on the eastern platform to set off quickly and follow up forward to quickly approach the independent regiment.

The 13th Artillery Regiment marched forward on horseback.

Brigade Commander Bai sent the chief of staff to send an order for Deputy Brigade Commander Wang to start the operation of the artillery regiments, and he arrived later. Deputy Brigade Commander Wang ordered the 14th Artillery Regiment, the 18th Regiment and all units directly under it to set off in turn.

As soon as the artillery brigade headquarters and its subordinate team turned onto the main road, Brigade Commander Bai also came out of the Bai family compound, and he and the accompanying staff adjutant and others persuaded Old Man Bai, Old Lady Bai and everyone not to send them several times. How can the old man and the old woman hold their feet, the old man Bai is wearing a blue cotton robe, a big velvet melon skin hat, and a long pipe in his hand, and he follows step by step, and he almost reaches out to hold his son's hand in a cordial manner.

Thousands of words were written on his weathered face...... The white old tits are wearing a sky blue padded jacket on the upper body, purple pants on the lower body, and a pair of small feet wearing blue pointed shoes Walking left and right, a little unstable. But she tried to keep up with her son, reaching out several times to flick the dust off his son and smooth the folds of his clothes.

Her son is a big man of 1.80 meters and a straight gray-blue military uniform, she can't touch it enough, so she grabbed her son's hand several times and didn't let it go......

Bai Xicai saw that his parents were so reluctant to let him go, and he was moved, and his eyes were wet with tears of nostalgia. He fell to his knees in the dust, fell to the ground and knocked his head three times. While kowtowing, he said: "My son is going to fight against Japan, I have nothing to worry about, but I don't worry about two things, one is the body of your second elder, now that you are old, you may not be able to do your filial piety in front of your knees, forgive your child for being unfilial......

Another thing, Bai Feng, Bai Lan and Bai Liang are still young, if I can't come back, I will only have to work hard for all of you......" He said and looked up to find his wife Bai Zhang, who was standing on the side, his eyes looked at his wife frequently, as if the burden of a thousand catties had been entrusted to her, and he couldn't bear it. His wife, Bai Zhang, cried like a tearful person, and she couldn't stop nodding to her husband while crying.

The old woman stepped forward and hugged her son's shoulder, whimpering. When Old Man Bai saw his son's kowtowing, he couldn't stand it a little. Listening to him say those words again, I knew that this time was either life or death, and although I didn't cry, my shoulders were obviously trembling. The old grandmother, the two daughters and youngest son of Brigade Commander Bai, and Bai Zhang's family hugged Brigade Commander Bai and cried together. The people were busy supporting the old man Bai, and some people were trying to persuade the old lady Bai......

Brigade Commander Bai said: "Mother, don't cry quickly, the Japanese over there occupy my rivers and mountains, kill my compatriots, and kill my father and fellow villagers......

Old Man Bai stepped forward and pulled up his second grandson Bai Liang, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't cry, what kind of system is it, look at this team of soldiers who carry artillery, which one is not raised by his father's mother?" Which one has no parents, wife, sons, siblings? If you cry and cry like this, you all can't move forward, and you all go home to reunite, who will fight against Japan? ”

Old Milk Bai is also a reasonable person, and when she heard what Old Man Bai said, she suddenly remembered that she was too much. She stopped her tears, couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly pulled up the two flower-like little granddaughters who were still crying and their mother, Bai Zhang, and said, "Alas, what can I do, we women have nothing else but tears."

As a mother, I'm afraid that my eldest son will make a mistake, but then again, this team of young men, which is not the son of the mother, if they are all stumped by the love of their children, then the little Japanese devil will not be even more successful...... Son......" She wiped away another handful of tears, and then choked up, "Go ahead!" Don't worry about the family, everything is fine at home, it will be better to cry tears for my mother......"

Bai Zhang, the wife of the white brigade commander, was wearing a blue floral skirt robe, also a pair of small feet, and a pair of embroidered pointed shoes. Her eyes are like autumn water, her face is like danyu, she is full of affection, and she looks at her husband with tears in her eyes. While speaking, everyone had already helped Brigade Commander Bai up, and Bai Zhang and Old Milk Bai patted the dust off his body for him. Bai Zhang took a cloth bag from the maid behind him and handed it to her husband, and a soldier hurriedly took it, maybe it was a change of clothes......

Brigade Commander Bai tightened his belt, straightened the hat he had just put on, raised his hand to his parents and all his family members to salute, and turned around and walked towards the brigade headquarters where Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Qingjiu was.

Deputy Brigade Commander Wang said: "Brigade Commander Bai, the whole brigade has set off according to your order, let's go!" He turned around again and said, "Uncle and aunt and sister-in-law, we are on our way, please go back, we will definitely come back." ”

The old white woman cried and said, "My child, you will all come back." Don't forget to hit the nail on the spot when you come back! The little devils who should be killed by God, they weren't raised by their fathers? Running to us to earn your ......."

Deputy Brigade Commander Wang raised his hand and saluted, and all the commanders of the brigade headquarters behind him turned around and raised their hands in salute.

Old Man Bai's family stood on the side of the road for a long time, watching the troops move north, until the figure of the last soldier slowly disappeared.

Old man Bai, called Bai Wenqi, was the last person to be raised in the Qing Dynasty.

He resigned many times and returned to his hometown to cultivate Longmu. It's not that he doesn't want to be an official, but he sees through the darkness of officialdom, especially the servility of the court and high-ranking officials and nobles to foreigners.

In 1926, Shi Lanfeng, chief of staff of the Shandong warlord Zhang Zongchang, invited him to Shandong to be an official with the friendship of his classmates. Because he acted impartially and did not show favoritism, successive magistrates in Gubeikou entrusted him to manage the distribution of relief food for the elderly who were lonely and widowed, and he never embezzled. People spontaneously hung a painted wooden plaque at the gate of his house, "Worship Renfeng together". He was also elected as the head of the "Pimple Society". In order to keep the vegetation on the mountain from being destroyed and to protect the continuity of the water source, no matter who he found cutting down trees on the mountain, especially the lumps in the ground, he sternly asked him to hand over the damaged trees, and stood on the street to show the public, and promised not to destroy trees again. In some serious cases, he will be sent to the police station.

The Qing Dynasty was gone, followed by Yuan Shikai, and then by the warlord ruling government. In February 1932, Japan supported the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, and Zheng Xiaoxu, a widow of the Qing Dynasty, came to Gubeikou and invited him to Xinjing to be the director of the Civil Affairs Department. He said that Pu Yi became the emperor of the Japanese, and I can't afford to lose that face.

Zheng Xiaoxu is gone.

While studying, he pondered about China's future, and he believed that the main reason why the great powers dared to come to China to break ground was that China's economy was too backward, its industry was too poor, and most importantly, its military was too backward. All this stems from political corruption and feudal remnants.

Because of this, he was particularly strict with his eldest son Xicai, almost harsh. Since he was a child, he learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius in a private school, and gradually let him read poetry and books. also asked him to worship the abbot of Bailongtan Temple as a teacher and learned a good kung fu.

Later, he was introduced to the Baoding Military Academy to study artillery, and his father hoped that he could contribute to China's military and China's future in the future.

Bai Xicai has been studying hard since he entered the school, and he is very respected by the teacher. He dabbled in a large number of books, especially the French Revolution, and he especially admired Napoleon.

He turned down several opportunities to study in Japan, and he thought that Napoleon had never gone abroad to further his studies, and he had become famous in the Battle of Toulon.

The Baoding Military Academy wanted to keep him as an instructor, and it happened that at that time, Commander Sun went to recruit generals with troops, and he was the first to be selected......

That night, the feast dispersed, and everyone was gone. He went to his parents' bedroom to take the opportunity to catch up with them.

The old lady touched his head: "Xicai, you are old, you have gray hair, or you will return to the field, my mother can see you every day......"

The old father didn't like to listen to it, and said, "You are a woman, what do you know?" When the country is employing people, the soldiers are disarmed and returned to the field, who will go to war? Even the ancient Mulan can still kill the enemy and contribute to the country......"

The old mother rarely talked back to Master Bai, but this time she was indomitable and said: "Isn't it a woman's family, how can there be Mulan to kill the enemy?" If there is no woman, who will give birth to the hero who kills the enemy? ”

Brigade Commander Bai knew that the old lady was the most particular about three obedience and four virtues, and today he talked back to his father, it seems that he misses himself too much. He hurriedly played a round, hurriedly asked about the current situation at home, and told him that the year was not good, and he would collect less rent if he could......

He asked about the situation of the second brother and the third brother, the second brother Bai Jiancai worked in Nanjing, and the third brother

Bai Ruicai worked as the chief accountant of the Chifeng Bulb Factory. The father and mother also asked about his eldest son, Bai Feng, studying in Beijing. He also learned that after the third brother's daughter-in-law died, the third brother came back to visit the family and met a girl named Xu Xiaomei who had fled from Henan. In fact, it's a bit wrong to be a bad person, so why did the third brother fall in love with someone...... Later, the old couple hurriedly asked someone to send him to their daughter-in-law's room. All three children were asleep.

The daughter-in-law had waited for him to wait for the fire to burn, and when he came back, she was busy waiting for him to rest. After the storm, he instructed his wife: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, if I can't come back, please bring up the child, don't be too bitter yourself, find another one if necessary......"

The daughter-in-law covered his mouth to prevent him from talking, and in this way she caressed his angular face......
