After the Battle of Tosinli, the 77th Army moved into a short period of recuperation.

On this day, Liu Yizhang was concentrating on attending a study class for party activists organized by the Political Department in the auditorium of the military department, Liu Yan quietly called him outside the cave, and Yizhang saw Wu Xiangsen and Zhou Zhengkang waiting for him on horseback, "Yizhang, accompany me to the field hospital." Wu Xiangsen greeted Yizhang with a smile, Yizhang thought to himself, it seems that the army commander is in a good mood today, this is the first time Yizhang saw Wu Xiangsen smile after the Battle of Toxinli, Yizhang immediately agreed, "Yes, army commander!" As he spoke, he took the war horse in the guard's hand, stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and a group of horses galloped towards the field hospital of the corps.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, since entering the DPRK for a few months, all day long, either fighting, or preparing for war, the nerves are highly tense, the body is also extremely sleepy and tired, and now it has entered a short period of recuperation, although the conditions are still as bad as ever, but people's nerves have finally relaxed, and the 77th Army is recuperating and looking forward to the fifth battle and the US imperialist contest again.

Wu Xiangsen and Zhou Zhengkang were at the forefront, and the two were talking about Yizhang's joining the party.

"Director Zhou, why hasn't Yizhang's problem of joining the party been solved yet?"

"Commander Wu, I think it should be just in the past few days, Yizhang's external transfer materials just arrived at the Political Department a few days ago, and after Yizhang has attended the party class in the past few days, the general party branch of the military department can go to the meeting to discuss and vote."

"At my age in Yizhang, I have been a party member for several years, and war is a party school."

"What the military commander said is too reasonable, although we are also in the midst of war now, but there is still a world of difference compared with us, after all, now we have established New China and become the only ruling party."

Wu Xiangsen looked back and saw that Yizhang and Liu Yan were also happily talking about something.

Wu Xiangsen said to Zhou Zhengkang quite proudly, "Liu Yizhang and Liu Yan, two young people, are very good, one is literate and one martial arts, and they complement each other. Yizhang is resolute and resourceful, the battle of Xinli is a touchstone, Yizhang's ability to command the battle is not lost to any regiment commander of the 77th Army, I heard that he was trapped in the Xinli when he even set up a temporary command center, self-appointed commander-in-chief, even Qiu Wei, Deng Jiaju These battalion commanders are obedient to him, although it is a bit of a child's taste, but the effect is surprisingly good, over time, Yizhang will become a great weapon, and that Liu Yan, wrote a good article, and is also quite famous in the journals of the corps, The character is much more docile than Yizhang, mediocre and peaceful. ”

"Commander Wu, this is a strong general, there are no weak soldiers under him, and the rapid progress of the two of them under your cultivation is obvious to all. Especially Liu Yizhang, Gou Rixin, every day, every day, every day, he has to be impressed if he doesn't see him for three days, his ability to command battles is not inferior to those regiment commanders, who would have thought that he was just a recruit who had only been in the army for a few months? Yizhang and Liu Yan now belong to the same party group, Liu Yan is the group leader, for the sake of Yizhang joining the party, Liu Yan did not run the organization department, asked Yizhang if the external transfer materials came, and he was concerned about Yizhang's affairs, Yizhang can be famous in the 77th Army and even in the Corps, which is also inseparable from Liu Yan's vigorous publicity. You just said that Qiu Wei, Deng Jiaju, and the battalion commanders all obey the righteous chapter, not only these battalion commanders? It is those regiment commanders who participated in the Battle of Toxinli, all of whom admired Yizhang's five-body throwing, and when I investigated the relevant situation of Pang Lixue, the head of the 303rd Regiment who had died, I learned that what he said to the soldiers around him the most when he was dying was Yizhang. ”

"How can he say righteousness? Hurry up. Wu Xiangsen interrupted the slow-speaking Zhou Zhengkang, who was about to go to the field hospital, and he was obviously very interested in this issue.

Zhou Zheng Kangming sped up the speed of his speech, and he said with emotion, "Pang Lixue said to the soldiers that Yizhang had several things, mainly two, one is guilt, regretting that he threw away Yizhang who went to attack Xinli alone when he retreated from the plum blossoms, and the other is admiration, admiration for his loyalty and courage, he can sacrifice his life at a critical time, and I hope that Yizhang can take over the 303rd Regiment in the future and bring the 303rd Regiment into a heroic regiment." ”

Wu Xiangsen didn't speak anymore after listening, he knew that this could only be a good wish of Pang Lixue, and a proof of Liu Yizhang's two complex emotions of admiration and guilt, which was impossible in reality, even in the war-torn period of the Great Revolution, it was necessary to be promoted step by step, and he was not from squad leader to platoon commander to company commander step by step to army commander? The reason why he is concerned about Yizhang's joining the party is that he is concerned about Yizhang's political growth, and in China, politics and military achievements are synchronized and inseparable, and firm political belief is based on the foundation of the army.

While talking and laughing, Wu Xiangsen and the others arrived at the Corps Field Hospital.

After the end of the fourth campaign, the number of sick and wounded surged, the corps set up temporary hospitals in a number of defense areas, the so-called hospital is to dig out of the ravines of different sizes of air-raid shelters, doctors are basically surgeons, after the wounded go through the procedures, a little lighter wait until dark to transport to the rear hospital for further treatment, after the heavier surgery to be treated in the cave for a few days, until the injury is stable and then transferred, these days, the leaders of the 77th Army also went to different hospitals in batches to visit the wounded commanders and fighters, today Wu Xiangsen and they came to this hospital, The scale is small but the highest level, specializing in the treatment of commanders above the regimental level of the Corps, is the highest level of the Corps in the Korean battlefield field hospital, after visiting Xu Weiguo, Zhang Wensheng and others, the last visit to Wang Peng, it was time for lunch, the hygienist took Wu Xiangsen and them to the cave where Wang Peng lived, this cave is very narrow, only Wang Peng is seriously wounded, the wall of the cave is lit with a candle, the cave is damp and cold, Wang Peng is the most seriously injured, there are three gunshot wounds, a knife wound, at that time fainted in the tunnel of the Shuangjingli position, Under the dim candlelight, I saw Wang Peng lying on a marching bed, his face was pale without a little blood, and when he saw Wu Xiangsen and them, Wang Peng struggled to sit up, but was gently held down by Wu Xiangsen, and ordered, "Wang Peng, you continue to eat, lie down and don't move!" ”

Yizhang took the lunch box in the hands of the hygienist, sat on a stone in front of the bed and continued to feed him, Wang Peng's meal was no different from what the soldiers ate, it was also boiled water to make fried noodles, the only difference was that there was one more boiled egg, Yizhang's tears were rolling in his eyes, he broke the egg, Wang Peng said weakly, "Yizhang, don't break it all, I'll eat half an egg, leave half for this hygienist to eat, she saved my life." ”

Shi Ying said to Wu Xiangsen with red eyes, "Chief, Head Wang has been like this for the past few days, he has to let me eat half an egg, and I am not injured, he is so seriously injured, how can I eat it?" No matter how much I persuade him, he won't listen, only when Dean Liu speaks, you have to talk about him well. ”

Shi Ying was talking, the door curtain walked in a young female doctor, slender, full of tiredness, and barely squeezed out a smile when greeting Wu Xiangsen, and then looked at Wang Peng, it was really as Shi Ying said, seeing that the female doctor began to eat eggs without saying a word, the female doctor patted Shi Ying's shoulder, and said to Wang Peng with a smile, "Wang Peng, you are not allowed to make such unreasonable requests in the future, do you think you are repaying your kindness?" You're embarrassed by Shi Ying! You don't want to think about it, you are so weak, she can eat? If you want to repay the favor, then eat well, heal your injuries quickly, and then go back to the battlefield to find the Yankees to fight hard than anything else! ”

Yizhang listened to this female doctor and felt inexplicably cordial and familiar, in addition to the authentic Jiaodong accent, and the pungent and capable energy is also very similar to a person, like whom? He immediately thought of his cousin Wei Ji, he quickly raised his head and took a closer look, the female doctor who reprimanded Wang Peng, in her twenties, has a plump figure, a delicate face, and a tired face can hardly hide her aggressive momentum, even Wang Peng, who has always regarded himself very highly, is also low eyebrows in front of her, Yizhang only thinks that she is very familiar, but she can't remember where she has seen it, the female doctor also noticed that the young soldier sitting on the stone is staring at herself with her face up, she also looked down at Yizhang, the eyes of the two met, and the female doctor not only sighed, because Yizhang looks too much like Daddy Liu when he was young, especially those eyes, resolute and firm, exuding an inviolable awe-inspiring righteousness, she asked Yizhang bluntly, "Little soldier, why do you always stare at me?" ”

Yizhang was suddenly questioned by a young woman in public, only then did he realize that his behavior was very impolite, his face turned red, he quickly lowered his head and did not answer, and continued to feed Wang Peng, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became embarrassing, in just a few minutes, everyone saw the female doctor's pungency and straightforwardness, Liu Yan wanted to ease the embarrassing atmosphere for Yizhang, he walked over from the entrance of the cave and said to Yizhang, "Yizhang, let me take care of Captain Wang, you go out to take a breath!" ”

Yizhang couldn't wait to get out quickly, he quickly stood up and handed the lunch box to Liu Yan, raised his leg and was about to leave, before he could take a step, the female doctor grabbed Yizhang's arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really Yizhang?" Is it that Yoshizhang from Shuangliu Village? Before Yizhang could answer, she stared at Yizhang's face and said to herself, "That's right, I thought you looked like Brother De just now, you are Yizhang!" Tears flowed down his eyes as he spoke, and Yizhang also understood at this moment, the familiar stranger in front of him must be his aunt Liu Muyan, who had not seen him for more than ten years, he knew that his aunt was a military doctor in the East China Military Region, but he never dreamed that he could meet her on the Korean battlefield, and he could see his aunt who had been away from home for ten years in this deserted ravine, Yizhang suppressed his excitement and whispered, "I am Liu Yizhang from Shuangliu Village, Huang County, you are your aunt Liu Muyan, right?" "Liu Muyan is the youngest daughter of Liu Chengzu, the only girl in the Liu family's literary generation, there is an elder brother Liu Wenxuan who is two years older than her, three cousins Liu Wende, Liu Wenzheng and Liu Wengui, when she was fifteen years old, she secretly followed Zhang Shibao in the back street to participate in the Bohai Anti-Japanese Brigade of the Jiaodong Military Region, and was soon transferred to the headquarters of the Jiaodong Military Region to engage in medical work. After the outbreak of the Korean War, she followed the first batch of Sanye troops to fight in North Korea, and is now the director of a field hospital of a corps belonging to the 77th Army, that is, the director of Liu in Shi Ying's mouth, Liu Muyan left Shuangliu Village when Yizhang was only eight years old, he was still a child, and he hadn't seen his relatives for ten years, and now the burly young man standing in front of him turned out to be the son of Brother De, his nephew Liu Yizhang, how could she not be excited? Liu Yizhang is the same, he hugged Liu Muyan tightly into his arms, he couldn't say a word, crying like a child, on the unpredictable battlefield of life and death, needless to say seeing his loved ones, even if he heard a rural accent, it will make you feel more cordial, and it will arouse infinite thoughts for your relatives!
