After the Battle of Lubanchang, Zhou Hunyuan telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek of the battle situation, and Chiang Kai-shek rewarded the 36th Army and Wan Yaohuang. Under the pressure of Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jialie resigned as commander of the 25th Army and was replaced by Wan Yaohuang. Officers at all levels of the 5th Division of the 36th Army were also rewarded, Xie Pufu was promoted to lieutenant general, he took the opportunity to transfer Zhao Xiguang away, Zhang Rubi replaced the deputy division commander, Qiu Zhuoyun took over as the commander of the 30th Regiment, and Lin Junxiong was also promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy regiment commander and commander of the second battalion because of his outstanding performance.

Lin Junxiong was depressed when he fought the Red Army head-on for the first time, and when he closed his eyes, he would even think of the wails of the Red Army soldiers, and even the scene of the soldiers of the second battalion and the Red Army soldiers with white blades. Li Mingli couldn't help crying even after returning to the station.

Lin Junxiong endured the pain in his heart, but on the surface he wanted to pretend to be happy, watching the soldiers train hard, Lin Junxiong also began to hesitate, he wanted to train an elite army, but he didn't want to use it to deal with the Red Army, but sometimes it was unavoidable, he decided to talk to Liao Chengxian.

Liao Chengxian hadn't come yet, Lin Junxiong got the news that Zhao Xiguang was about to leave, this officer who won the rank of major general in the Kuomintang army by bloody battles, Lin Junxiong still had a good impression, so he decided to see him off.

That night, Lin Junxiong picked out a few gifts and went to Zhao Xiguang's residence, Zhao Xiguang was not surprised, and after beckoning Lin Junxiong to sit down, he asked curiously: "Deputy Head Lin, aren't you afraid of offending them?" Although I am in a flat tone, but the people in the entire division department know that I am going to be squeezed out, and many people can't hide when they see me, and besides, in the past year, we don't seem to have a deep friendship, you can't come to see me off and make them unhappy. ”

Lin Junxiong knew that Zhao Xiguang was very bitter in his heart, but he also knew that he still had illusions about the Kuomintang army, and he also wanted to develop him into the party organization, but it was obviously not the right time yet, he sighed at what happened to Zhao Xiguang, and said slowly: "I am a person who does things as he pleases, and I try to do whatever I think in my heart." In the Northern Expedition War and the Central Plains War, Deputy Division Commander Zhao used bloody battles to accumulate meritorious deeds to win today's position, but orange is born in Huainan and orange in Huaibei, and Deputy Division Commander Zhao is just not suitable for growing here. ”

"Hey, I think I've been in the army for nearly 20 years, but I didn't expect it to be like today, and I also know that this is related to the fact that I hate the style of some self-proclaimed descendants within the army, and I am usually unwilling to please those people, but it is just that a person's personality is difficult to change. Perhaps, as you said, I should really change the soil to see if it is more suitable for me to grow. ”

"Although Deputy Division Commander Zhao has been transferred to the rear, your talent and merits are there, as long as you go through the dormant period, as soon as you have the opportunity, I believe you will shine again."

Zhao Xiguang said with a wry smile: "Hehe, I hope to accept your auspicious words, there is really such a day." ”

"Since 1932, the Japanese seem to have stopped attacking China on the surface, but they have continued to fight aggression economically, and if they want to destroy our Chinese heart, they must be brewing some greater conspiracy, and I believe that soon it will be our soldiers' turn to fight to defend China."

"This Dongying clown really dares to invade China, as a soldier, Zhao will definitely do his best to resist, even if he is crushed, he will not hesitate."

Lin Junxiong looked at Zhao Xiguang's resentful expression, and couldn't help but praise: "The party-state just lacks an iron-blooded man like Deputy Division Commander Zhao." ”

Zhao Xiguang stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Junxiong has won the award, but it's you, through my observation for nearly a year, he will become a great weapon one day, but you have to be careful of the blows of those descendants, especially the two-faced and three-faced Liu Caiting." You have the weight of General Xue Yue and the famous brand of the Berlin Military Academy, you must take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Lin Junxiong also stood up and said with a smile: "Junxiong is still young, and there are still many things to learn, but it's a pity that Master Zhao, a good teacher, is leaving, otherwise I must let you give me more advice." ”

"Haha, my depressed mood was complimented by your little ghost, but it's a lot better, thank you for having the heart to send Zhao, he will have the opportunity to laugh together on the battlefield one day, and there will be a period later."

Lin Junxiong held Zhao Xiguang's outstretched hand, and also said emotionally: "There will be a period later!" ”

Lin Junxiong's matter of sending Zhao Xiguang was seen by the people arranged by Liu Caiting, and he immediately reported it to Xie Pufu, Xie Pufu's face sank, and he scolded Liu Caiting and said: "Junxiong has only been in the army for a year, this is called affection and righteousness, what about you, you know all day long, and tomorrow morning call the people from the division headquarters to see off Deputy Division Commander Zhao." ”

Liu Caiting was depressed in his heart, he didn't understand why this division commander valued Lin Junxiong so much, was it because there was a Xue Yue behind him? Xie Pufu's heart was bright, this Lin Junxiong was young, and Commander-in-Chief Zhou inadvertently seemed to have the shadow of the chairman's care behind him, maybe one day he would become a celebrity around the chairman, how could he offend.

Lin Junxiong naturally didn't know the speculation in Xie Pufu's heart, and after sending Zhao Xiguang off, he generously returned to the camp headquarters, and several people from the division headquarters saw Lin Junxiong coming out of Zhao Xiguang, and whispered, Lin Junxiong ignored it, and was sure in his heart, soldiers should be frank and open, you can be dissatisfied with me, but you can't force me to be as dirty as you.

Zhao Xiguang's departure did not stir up any waves in the troops, and according to Zhou Hunyuan's deployment, the 5th Division was about to continue to pursue the Red Army into the Xikang area of Sichuan.

A few days before the team's departure, Lin Junxiong met Liao Chengxian. On behalf of the organization, Liao Chengxian first thanked Lin Junxiong for the deployment of the Kuomintang troops in Lubanchang sent in time last time.

"But the Battle of Lubanchang caused nearly 1,000 casualties to the Red Army?"

Liao Chengxian sighed and said slowly: "There is no bloodshed and sacrifice on the road of revolution, as long as the flame of revolution is still there, one day it will become a prairie fire." ”

Lin Junxiong looked at Liao Chengxian a little confused, and said half-loudly: "Old Liao, I'm a little confused, I have to work hard to train the troops, but seeing that the troops I trained are fighting against the Red Army, I feel very uncomfortable, I don't know if this is right or wrong?" ”

"I fully understand your situation, if you are mediocre, you will not be able to get the appreciation of the Kuomintang high-level, so you are right to work hard to make achievements in the army, your troops may have caused a small number of casualties to the Red Army, but this is also a last resort, the party organization does not blame you, before I came, the Party Central Committee asked me to tell you, don't have any mental burden, take advantage of every opportunity to rise, the higher your level in the Kuomintang army, the more useful information you can provide, the more you can reduce the losses of the Red Army."

Lin Junxiong understands the reason, but he really can't accept this kind of duel in his heart, just like two brothers in his own family, they have a good relationship, but they have to fight to the death.

Seeing that Lin Junxiong didn't speak, Liao Chengxian shook his head and continued: "Sometimes the soldiers and the party revolutionaries have no choice, for example, Japan's invasion of Northeast China, I believe that some Japanese soldiers are also unwilling, but their government has issued an order, if they don't carry it out, they may have no choice, but as long as they set foot on Chinese territory with weapons, they are invaders, and we will drive them out." Compassion should be divided into objects, you have compassion for the soldiers who died in battle with the Red Army, this is a good thing, but in the future, China may have to rescue the Northeast or even face a large-scale invasion by Japan, then you have to put away your poor mercy and be an iron-blooded soldier. No one wants war, but it cannot be without bloodshed. ”

While listening, Lin Junxiong was thinking that he could be ruthless in the face of the aggressor, but in the face of his comrades, some things were unavoidable, as long as he felt that he had done his best, the war was ruthless, and he could only try to do his best to provide more important information for the party and save the lives of more comrades. I have no need to be merciful here, do I want to say to the party organization that I do not obey the arrangement, or to tell the Kuomintang officers that I am a member of the Communist Party and that I will not participate in the battle against the Red Army?

"Also, on the other hand, the losses caused by your troops to the Red Army, without you, the Kuomintang would have sent other troops, and we may have sacrificed even more without your intelligence. I hope you will survive this, because this is the task that the party has assigned you. ”

When Lin Junxiong heard the tasks arranged by the party, he suddenly understood in his heart that he watched TV in his previous life or countless revolutionary comrades in history who did not hesitate to die in order to protect more important comrades, and that was a kind of fearless revolutionary spirit.

"Lao Liao, I understand, instead of struggling needlessly here, it is better to think more about how to get more and more important information to provide more guarantees for the party's security. I just need to stick to my heart and try to be the best I think in my heart, blindly sentimental and needless to avoid can only show that I am still immature. ”

Liao Chengxian nodded, and said with a smile: "Xiaolin, you are right to think so, the Red Army still has a long way to go, and your task is to follow the Kuomintang army, wait for the opportunity to provide their deployment and location, and do a good job in the tasks assigned to you by the party, which the party organization asked me to tell you when I came to see you." ”

Lin Junxiong stood up and said loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Liao Chengxian motioned for him to sit down, looked at Lin Junxiong and seemed to remember the past, and said after a while: "Looking at you today, I think of me at the beginning." At that time, the revolutionary situation was also very dangerous, the Kuomintang wantonly arrested and killed our party comrades, I was arrested twice for organizing the workers' movement, and I was once confused in the face of the torture of the Kuomintang eagle dogs, but my firm revolutionary ideas never changed. Mr. Lu Xun said well: 'Some people are alive, but they are dead; Some people are dead, but he is still alive', many familiar comrades around me have fallen on the revolutionary road of pursuing the truth, but on the day of the victory of the revolution, they will live forever in the hearts of the people. We don't want to live as a walking corpse, so we chose to join the Communist Party of China and work hard to liberate the toiling masses, maybe tomorrow we will fall, but I believe that we are also fearless and have no regrets! ”

Lin Junxiong was completely awakened by Liao Chengxian's seat, stood up and held Liao Chengxian's hand, and looked at him very firmly.

Liao Chengxian nodded, also clasped Lin Junxiong and said: "Comrade Junxiong, the party's revolutionary cause still has a long way to go, and we still need to continue to work hard, let us put away those sorrows and devote ourselves to the battle in the best state." ”

This meeting with Liao Chengxian made Lin Junxiong secretly scold that he had lived for decades, and that he was still naïve and immature, and he quickly adjusted his state and threw himself into a new battle.
