"The chief said at the time, the sky will not kill me, and Liu Yizhang is really a god! It can be seen how high the chief's expectations are for you, the chief directly arranged for you to live in his dormitory today, even when Wu Yutong was in the corps, he didn't live here for a day, and the liquor under your bed was also specially prepared for you by the chief. The victory of the battle was eloquent, and the tone was full of infinite admiration for Liu Yizhang.

Liu Yizhang lifted the bed sheet and saw that there were more than a dozen bottles of liquor under the bed, and they were all Jingzhi Baiqian, which Shandong people like to drink.

Zhan Desheng saw Liu Yizhang yawn a few times, so he said with a sense of humor, "Secretary Liu, I came to arrange for you to rest, but I bothered you for so long, you should rest quickly, we will have time to talk in the future." ”

Seeing off Zhan Desheng, Liu Yizhang lay on the bed without sleep.

He deliberately yawned a few times just now, so that Zhan Desheng would leave, lest Dong Zheng suddenly come back and see that the two of them had been chatting.

Liu Yizhang calmed down at the moment and pondered two things, the first is the military meeting he will attend tomorrow, mainly to summarize the gains and losses of the fifth battle, why did Dong Zheng arrange for himself to observe? He is just a grass-roots regiment-level commander, and he is not qualified to audit at all, unless he is his secretary, it makes sense, but Wu Xiangsen clearly told himself that he must work in the position of regiment commander for at least two or three years before he can consider transferring his position, Wu Xiangsen's idea must have been discussed with Dong Zheng, if he just makes an excuse for his return to China to visit relatives this time, it is even more unnecessary, who will care about Dong Zheng's secretary among the heads of the East China Military Region and Sanye? Another thing is that you need to be careful about the relationship with Liu Yuejuan, according to Zhan Desheng, Liu Yuejuan and Dong Zheng should be quite close, she must also know her delicate relationship with Dong Zheng, why did she take the initiative to lead the team to the 77th Army to condole, just because she had a good impression of her on the phone in advance? Or is there another reason? What was her intention to approach herself? Is it just a confidante destined by God? These questions made Liu Yizhang confused, he carefully recalled every detail of his relationship with Liu Yuejuan, trying to find clues, but the more he recalled, the more he found that Liu Yuejuan was sincere to him, and it was impossible to approach him with intentions. Liu Yizhang simply stopped thinking nonsense, and asked Liu Yuejuan early tomorrow morning, isn't everything clear? But still remind yourself to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Liu Yizhang woke up at six o'clock, he looked sideways at Dong Zheng opposite, and slept soundly. Liu Yizhang carefully dressed and tiptoed out of the cave, he asked Dong Zheng, a soldier on duty in the courtyard, what time he would return, and learned that it was about three o'clock in the morning.

Liu Yizhang thought that the meeting would start at nine o'clock in the morning, and Dong Zheng would rest for three or four hours at most, which could really be described as a night at work! He walked to the mountain according to the location that Zhan Desheng told him last night, and after walking for about ten minutes, he found that there were several caves hidden in the dense mountain forest, and the caves were camouflaged by tree branches.

He stood on the hillside and pretended to watch the sunrise, when a female warrior came up from the bottom of the mountain, panting, probably just returning from a morning jog.

Liu Yizhang walked up to greet her with a smile, "Hello, comrade, can you please help me call Liu Yuejuan, the deputy head of the art troupe?" ”

The female warrior asked alertly, "Are you from that unit?" Who are you Head Liu? ”

Liu Yizhang smiled and said, "Please tell her that when Liu Yizhang is here, she will come out to see me." ”

The female warrior immediately burst into laughter and shouted excitedly, "Mom, you are the great hero Liu Yizhang!" If you want it, I'll call someone for you! With that, he combed his hair as he ran.

That is, two or three minutes of work, Liu Yuejuan walked out of the cave, looked down the mountain, Liu Yizhang waved his hand to her, she trotted and came to Liu Yizhang, Liu Yizhang read a surprise from the sky in her eyes, and last night just because she went to find Dong Zheng in the middle of the night, she suspected that her character was obviously unfounded.

Liu Yuejuan whispered, "Yizhang, you first take a detour up the mountain from the side and wait for me, and I'll go back to the dormitory to change clothes and go to you!" Then he smiled at Liu Yizhang and ran back to the dormitory.

Liu Yizhang walked around the cave and walked towards the mountain, the vegetation on the mountain was dense, and Liu Yizhang didn't dare to go far before stopping. After a while, Liu Yuejuan chased after her in loose practice clothes, and the two of them walked towards the mountain one after the other, walking for more than 20 minutes, Liu Yuejuan shouted behind her, "Yizhang, it's okay, stop!" ”

Liu Yizhang looked at Liu Yuejuan, who was breathless, and said jokingly, "Teacher Liu, why do I think that the two of us have met each other, and we are like underground workers." ”

"Yizhang, you are now a rising star of the Corps, like the stars and the moon, but I am a, and I am like Song Xiaofei who is forced to come to you, isn't it smiling and generous?"

"Teacher Liu, you are my only confidante, and you are the person I want to see most when I go to the Corps. As the saying goes, there are beautiful women, they will never forget when they see them, they will not see them for a day, and they will think like crazy. ”

Liu Yuejuan shyly beat Liu Yizhang with her fists, but she was extremely happy in her heart.

"Yizhang, I have known Yutong's uncle Dong Zheng for a long time, and I must not let him know that we are so close. Although Yutong is my student, I rarely interact with her, and I will have less in the future, I will control the proportions and not cause you the slightest trouble. In addition, I want to return to China for a divorce, I talked to Dong Zheng last night, he didn't persuade me, just shook his head meaningfully, and he arranged for me to return to China in the past two days. ”

When Liu Yizhang heard this, he was completely relieved, and he asked calmly, "Teacher Liu, why are you so familiar with Dong Zheng?" ”

"Yizhang, this is a long way to say, I will tell you slowly in the future, you have to remember one thing, Dong Zhengcheng is very deep, and Wu Xiangsen is two completely different people, he is Yutong's uncle, and he will naturally vigorously support you, but the more so, you can't have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, you just have a number in your heart."

"Teacher Liu, I understand, I will return to China tomorrow to visit relatives, and we can go together."

"Dong Zheng told me, and said that you returned to China on business as his secretary, in fact, I guess you are going back to China with Yutong nine times out of ten, right?"

Liu Yizhang nodded, "Teacher Liu, I returned to China this time to marry Wu Yutong, she is already pregnant with my child, and this matter still needs to be kept secret." ”

"Yizhang, you must be doubly good to Wu Yutong during your return to China, don't look at her in China, in fact, she is the person who has the greatest impact on your future. She and Song Xiaofei are very smart, and the person she is most wary of is Song Xiaofei, so she strongly opposes you coming to work in the Corps, Song Xiaofei has written a war petition more than once since Yutong returned to China, hoping to experience life in the 535th Regiment, but the result can be imagined, the above and below will not agree, and she can only give up. Yizhang, I am really grateful that I can come to North Korea, all kinds of coincidences in the dark, you broke into my heart, so many combat heroes, but I only remember the few letters that Liu Yan wrote about you, writing that you killed the enemy in front of the battle in the ancient capital, wrote that you chased and fled the enemy alone in Eagle Ridge, wrote that you rescued a regiment in the plum blossom at night, bombed the enemy camp with fire horses, and wrote that you scolded and killed the death squad in Lion Gang...... Later, Song Xiaofei and Yutong came to me, and Song Xiaofei pushed you more vividly in front of my eyes. Yizhang, I have been friends with you for a long time, you called the art troupe, it happened to be me who answered, your voice has been lingering in my heart for the past few days, when I saw you for the first time in Ma Xiling, it was more romantic than I imagined, you look at my eyes like a raging fire that completely burned my past world, so that I was reborn like a phoenix nirvana, all the reserve and uneasiness in front of you turned to ashes, you are the dream chaser who I am waiting for in my dreamland, I can't wait to melt into your world, as he said I am your confidante, It's better to say that you are my guide, let me know my way! Your appearance is like a bolt of lightning, splitting the spiritual shackles that have imprisoned me for a long time, so that I no longer hold on to my inadequacy, gain new life and freedom, and see the distant ......"

Liu Yizhang quietly listened to Liu Yuejuan's endless emotional outpouring, these words are not only a true confession to herself, but also a complete farewell to her unbearable past, she is a swan who fell into the red dust, and now she is flying high again, bravely pursuing her lost dream.

When Liu Yizhang returned to Dong Zheng's dormitory, it was already more than eight o'clock, Dong Zheng was washing, and saw Liu Yizhang holding a shirt in his hand, wearing only a vest, and walked in with a sweaty face, and asked with a smile, "Yizhang, did you go running?" ”

Liu Yizhang nodded, and said with a smile, "Chief, I didn't wake you up when I got up, did I?" ”

Dong Zheng glared at Liu Yizhang with his eyes, and reprimanded sharply, "Yizhang, this is not in the office, you still call me the chief?" ”

Liu Yizhang scratched his head and said shyly, "Chief, I just think you're too young, and I'm embarrassed to call you uncle." ”

Dong Zheng listened, the mouthwash in his mouth burst out with laughter, and said jokingly, "Yizhang, can you still look at your age?" Besides, I'm almost forty years old, a full double your age, and I'm old enough to be your uncle, right? ”

"Chief, everyone who sees me for the first time thinks I'm in my thirties, and I look so old, don't you look very young?"

Dong Zheng sighed softly and said with pity, "Chairman Mao said that in order to sacrifice and be ambitious, in order to realize your lofty ambition of defending your family and defending the country, in the past two months, you have been fighting bloodily and bloodily, and you have overdrawn your body, so that the vicissitudes of life are like this, these Wu military commanders see it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts, and every time he talks about you on the phone, he is choked up. Yizhang, when you return to China this time, you don't have to stick to the twenty days of vacation I gave you, there is no special military situation, it doesn't hurt if you stay longer, you can handle it flexibly. Remember, the head of the East China Military Region you are going to visit is very important to your future, and I have handed over your situation to him after a detailed report, including several internal references written for you by Chief of Staff Wang Shiguang. After finishing your business, you take Yutong back to your hometown in Shandong to visit relatives, and then let Yutong take you to Huanggang to visit her grandparents, that is, my parents. Let me tell you, my lover Wang Fang, that is, Yutong's aunt also lives in Huanggang's hometown now, Wang Fang is very young, about the same age as you, and even Yutong and Commander Wu don't know about my marriage, you just know it. In the fifth campaign that has just ended, although we did not win a complete victory, we basically achieved our strategic objectives; the so-called United Nations forces have been taught a hard lesson by us; the US imperialists do not dare to brazenly attack north of the 38th parallel; the calls for armistice talks between the enemy and us are getting louder and louder; the war-weariness of the United Nations forces and the US forces is rising day by day; it is difficult to say whether or not an armistice can be achieved in the near future, but the possibility of a major war between the two sides in the future is very small. In the fifth campaign, both the enemy and us invested the largest number of troops since the outbreak of the Korean War, and the front spanned the entire Korean Peninsula, which lasted for nearly two months, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but our volunteers were still able to draw with the powerful enemy under backward conditions such as equipment, replenishment, and air supremacy, and we have already played the invincible momentum of the Chinese soldiers, and this is the most important gain. And we can achieve such brilliant results because there are countless commanders and fighters like you and Xu Weiguo who are born to die, which is the foundation of our country and the foundation of governing the army! ”

Liu Yizhang listened attentively and kept nodding, he really felt Dong Zheng's heroic and stirring feelings for his family and country, he undoubtedly regarded himself as his confidant and relatives, and even trusted himself far more than Wu Xiangsen and Wu Yutong. At the same time, he also set the tone for the Corps' performance in the Fifth Campaign, which was a complete victory and a slight flaw.
