When Lin Junxiong withdrew to Zhuyuan Village with the remaining people of the 89th Regiment, Fang Yun also arrived in Zhuyuan Village with the remaining people of the Second Battalion, and after counting the number of people, there were still 213 people left in the 89th Regiment, and there were 32 seriously wounded, the commanders of the first and third battalions died, the deputy regiment commander Pan Zhiyang died, and the company commander only left the commander of the third company of the second battalion. Thinking that there were only these few people left in the 89th Regiment of 1,200 people, Lin Junxiong smashed his chest with his fist, grief-stricken.

On the hospital bed, Lin Junxiong met Wei Xin. Wei Xin cried and said, "Commander, I'm sorry, I couldn't save Deputy Commander Pan." ”

Lin Junxiong grabbed him and said to hit his hand: "Old Wei, it's all over, Lao Pan is good, he is the hero of the 89th regiment, you have done your best, we still have a long way to go, don't fall down, take care of your injuries, you know?" ”

Wei Xin nodded, but tears flowed down his cheeks.

When he returned to the station, Gao Shang said that a man named Xiang Hu was outside with more than a dozen people, saying that Lin Junxiong knew him.

Lin Junxiong thought about it for a while, and remembered that when he was in Dayu County, the dragon king's mouth cursed that case, could it be that Xiang Hu? When Lin Junxiong went outside the door and saw that it was Xiang Hu, he welcomed him in.

"Xiang Hu, why did you come here from Jiangxi?"

"Engong, after you left, I took my mother around to look for a doctor, and then I met a group of bandits, my mother was killed by them, I found a few like-minded brothers nearby to burn down the bandits' nest together, and avenged the killing of my mother. Before my mother died, she asked me to come to Engong's side to listen to Engong's dispatch. ”

"Hey, how difficult it is to survive in troubled times, I regret my aunt's death, those dozen people outside are all with you?"

"Well, at the beginning, after destroying the bandits' den, a few more people were with us, and they were willing to follow Engong after listening to my affairs about Engong. We went to Nanchang Hanyun Foreign Bank to find the shopkeeper over there, and then chased all the way to Yueqing County and Anting, and finally found out that Engong had arrived in Zhuyuan Village. ”

"Don't be a benefactor, I'm a little older than you, you can call me Brother Lin in the future."

"Okay, Brother Lin, there is a man named Xie Qin among us, it is said that he used to study in the martial arts hall above, and he has been training with us for the past two years.

"Oh, so you did it, I've been wondering, great, let's go meet them together."

Lin Junxiong called Wang Biao and Zhao Xing over, Xie Qin was in his thirties, and his face was a little vicissitudes, but he also had the heroism of a soldier.

Without waiting for Lin Junxiong to speak, Xie Qin spoke: "Commander Lin, first of all, let me state that I swore a long time ago that I would no longer serve the Kuomintang army, and I will leave this time when I bring them over. ”

"Oh, then Brother Xie, can you tell Junxiong the reason."

"Hey, I originally graduated from Wuhan Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, and after graduation, I joined Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army, but I was used to seeing the corruption of the Kuomintang army, and the phenomenon of respecting the Whampoa Military Academy, so I was disheartened."

"I think Brother Xie is still a little hidden, if it's really inconvenient, then how can Brother Xie wander around?"

Xie Qin looked at Xiang Hu, and saw Xiang Hu nodded, Xie Qin hesitated for a moment and said: "That's it, I see that Commander Lin is also a down-to-earth man, just tell the truth, in fact, when I was in the army, once the battalion commander forcibly slept with the two aunts of a landlord's family, and afterwards ordered that all the family be wiped out, and forcibly imprisoned the landlord's daughter as a plaything, once accidentally bumped into me, he wanted to kill me, but I was killed by mistake, and I quietly escaped from the army afterwards, and that's how it happened." Later, when I went home to serve my parents and grew old, I had no worries and wandered around when I had nothing to do. ”

"Brother Xie can treat each other with sincerity, Junxiong is grateful, I think Brother Xie should not be willing to be mediocre, he can't be really free and easy, otherwise he wouldn't have trained with Xianghu for two years, and he also gave them advice and gave me such a big gift, to tell the truth, if it wasn't for Brother Xie taking them to attack the supplies of the Japanese army, Zhuyuanling might not last so long, Junxiong thanked Brother Xie for his high righteousness."

"Thank you is not necessary, what can you do if you are unwilling? There were too many corrupt and mediocre people in the Kuomintang army, and if you talk about what happened before, it will be found that it will affect others. ”

"Dare to ask Brother Xie, are you wandering around, are you looking for something?"

Xie Qin was shocked, moved his hand from the table to the bottom of the table, hiding his nervousness, he didn't speak, just looked at Lin Junxiong with some surprise.

"Dare to ask Brother Xie, if you leave, do you intend to go to the northwest?"

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Lin Junxiong did not answer his question, but continued to ask, "Brother Xie just said that he is unwilling to join the Kuomintang army, I think I must have figured out or come into contact with something over the years, if I am not willing to join the Kuomintang army, but I want to join the Communist army?" ”

Xie Qin stood up in a little panic, and said a little angrily: "Captain Lin, what are you going to do, why do you need to force Xie Qin so much." ”

Lin Junxiong stood up and said solemnly: "If I tell you that I am a member of the Communist Party, will Brother Xie believe it?" ”

"Huh?" Xie Qin opened his mouth wide and looked at Lin Junxiong in surprise.

"If I were a communist, would Brother Xie be willing to stay?"

Xie Qin came back to his senses, clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" Captain Lin's ability to perceive things Xie Qin admired it and smiled. ”

"If Brother Xie is interested, you can stay with my shadow team for a while, and discuss it with the chief of staff of Wei Xin at the regiment headquarters, I think it will relieve Brother Xie of a lot of troubles."

"He's the same"

"Brother Xie, rest assured, the Shadow Team is absolutely loyal to me, and Chief of Staff Wei is also reliable."

"Haha, it's really worth the trip, it's worth it", Xie Qin said with a smile.

On November 1, Wang Dongchen called and said that the rest of the 73rd Army would arrive at Zhuyuan Village tomorrow, and Commander Xue Yue would also go to Zhuyuan Village. Lin Junxiong was keenly aware that Zhuyuan Village was estimated to become a strategic focus, otherwise Xue Yue would not have come in person.

On the morning of November 2, the 45th Brigade of the 15th Division of the 73rd Army entered Zhuyuan Village under the leadership of Wang Zhibin.

When he saw Wang Dongchen and Xue Yue again, Lin Junxiong found that Xue Yue had tears in his eyes, and he was touched for a while, and stepped forward to call his eldest brother, but Xue Yue hugged him excitedly. Lin Junxiong didn't know why Xue Yue was so excited, but he soon knew the answer, it turned out that Gao Shang told Wang Dongchen everything that happened, Wang Dongchen knew that sooner or later he couldn't hide Xue Yue, so he told the truth, and heard that Lin Junxiong led the 89th Regiment to fight in Zhuyuan Ridge for seven days, and at the cost of losing nearly 1,000 people, he stubbornly resisted the attack of a wing of the Japanese army, and Meng Lei's delayed reinforcements, which almost made Lin Junxiong die on Zhuyuan Ridge.

Xue Yue sat down and said angrily: "No matter what this Meng Lei has to do with it, I must engage him in military law this time." ”

He looked at Lin Junxiong and said, "Isn't it that if I don't ask, you are ready to swallow your anger like this?" ”

"Big brother, I'm going to settle accounts with him after this battle is over, and the hatred is hard to get rid of, but I still have to put the hatred of the country and the family first, so don't worry about this matter for now."

"Whatever? Although your 89th Regiment sacrificed nearly 1,000 people, do you know that the Japanese army's Nishiyama Masao Wing suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and in the face of the well-equipped Japanese army, under the repeated bombardment of artillery fire and aircraft, you can achieve such feats, think about it, you know how much effort you have made. If I want to ignore it, won't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies? ”

Thinking of those brothers who died in bloody battles, Lin Junxiong held back his tears and said: "They are all good, and they also guard their positions until death, but I hate that I came down the mountain to ask for reinforcements at that time, and I was not able to fight side by side with them." ”

"What kind of bastard are you, is it possible to die with them, you feel that you are a hero, the deceased is gone, you have to cheer up, don't let them down, kill more little Japan, I think they will also smile under Jiuquan." If you are negative and decadent, and you are sluggish, they will not be able to look down under the Nine Springs, remember, be a hero in their hearts! ”

"The lesson of the eldest brother is that Junxiong is hypocritical."

"Yes, Junxiong, the matter is over, this time we will clean up this Meng Lei, hand him over to the military court for a verdict, and give an explanation to the dead brothers of the 89th regiment."

Wang Dongchen saw that Xue Yue was deeply affectionate for his brother, and knew that Xue Yue would not let go of this Meng Lei this time, but it was not easy to offend the important members of the government, if he was directly killed by Xue Yue in a fit of anger, he would not be able to explain, it was best to send it to a military court, so whether he could be saved depends on the ability of his Meng family.

Wang Zhibin also came over to report the situation after arranging everything, Xue Yue asked him to sit down too, he looked at Wang Dongchen and said: "Dongchen, there is something I originally wanted to tell you in a few days, thinking of Junxiong's record this time, I still think I will talk to you in advance, how do you think Junxiong has performed with you in the past two years?" ”

Wang Dongchen couldn't guess what Xue Yue meant, did he want to transfer Lin Junxiong away, he hurriedly said: "Brother Xue, don't bother with Junxiong's idea, my 73rd Army finally had a baby bump, if you dig it up, I won't do it." ”

"Baby pimple? Dongchen, it's rare that you are so optimistic about this kid, I don't want to transfer away, I plan to report to the chairman on the achievements of Zhuyuanling, your 73rd Army is going to have a long face, and I want to suggest that Wang Zhibin be the commander of the 15th Division, and Junxiong should be the commander of the 45th Brigade, and you should concentrate on the expansion of the 73rd Army. ”

"Oh, Brother Xue, you said it earlier, it's great, what do you need me to do, you just say, I have already applied for this commander of the 15th Division, it is estimated that the war is urgent, there is no time to ask, Brother Xue came forward, it should be done soon, thank you here."

Xue Yue saw that Wang Dongchen also had this intention, and it didn't seem like he was pretending, so he said with a smile: "It's best that you also have this intention, lest I become a wicked person and don't know why, come, Junxiong, tell us in detail about the battle of Zhuyuanling this time, I heard Dongchen say briefly, a little unquenched, this is one of the few victories since the start of the war." ”
