Chapter 209: Heavy Responsibilities Lie on Your Shoulders
Ever since Huang Xing met the Communist Party-led guerrillas in the Yuncheng Mountains, he has been following the Communist Party and fighting in the north and south.
With his martial arts talents, it didn't take long for him to be promoted to deputy regiment commander and commander of the special service battalion.
Later, with the 129th Division, he was transferred to Hebei to recuperate. Huang Xing got short-term stability, and the first thing he did was to write a letter to Peony, who missed him day and night, hoping that she could come to meet as scheduled.
That afternoon, Huang Xing instructed the warriors and practiced hand-to-hand combat for a while, and then he walked to a small hill that was almost bare.
As far as the eye can see, the dealers in the flat land and the ditch are showing the appearance of a bumper harvest.
Two sparrows, on a big rock not far away, jumped up and down, chirping and chattering noisily. If you look closely, they are happily creating the next generation.
Huang Xing pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile, and moved his gaze to the distant one, followed by the shadow of the mountain in the clouds.
A mountain eagle hovering in the sky, blurred to the point that only a black spot remains, and Huang Xing is introduced into his deep thoughts about peonies.
The hotel is goodbye, three or four years in the blink of an eye. Although she took the time to write a few letters to report her safety, because the team moved at any time and she had no fixed residence, she never let Peony reply to the letter, and I don't know how she was doing during this time? Have you received a letter from yourself, especially the one with a clear address?
As a result, the thin and well-proportioned figure, the noble and refined temperament, and the kind of warmth that is subtle but makes people burn physically and mentally. And thousands of times, the happy scenes of the two of them together that had appeared in his mind lingered in Huang Xing's heart again, lingering like a wisp of smoke.
Just when Huang Xing was intoxicated by a distant sweetness. A heavy and hurried footstep dragged him back from the clouds.
It was Regiment Commander Zhang and his guard Xiao Wu who came.
Zhang Tuan grew up far away, so he gasped and shouted: "But I will find a place to run here to hide and relax." ”
Seeing Huang Xing looking at himself with a suspicious and dull gaze. He smiled slyly and said, "Looking at your soulless look, I know that I am thinking about your peony again." ”
Huang Xing smiled shyly and a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm messing around again." ”
Head Zhang pouted and smiled, and said, "I have already figured out your inventory." As long as the face is flushed with red light, the brain must be full of peonies. ”
Seeing Huang Xing grinning, he continued: "Oh, Peony didn't know that the fairy went down to earth, and she tossed our Huang Da Hero to the point that he couldn't sleep." ”
Huang Xing saw his sour appearance, and couldn't help but laugh "poof".
Immediately, he dodged and grinded behind Captain Zhang, and scratched his armpits with both hands like monkeys. Head Zhang was most afraid of this hand, and immediately squatted on the ground like a wolf and begged for mercy.
Although these two comrades-in-arms who were born and died have been together for less than two years, they have experienced many tests of life and death. A revolutionary friendship has been formed, not as brothers, but as brothers.
The two frolicked childlike for a while, Huang Xing lowered his face coldly and muttered, "Say it!" What good things await me? ”
Head Zhang smiled mysteriously at him and said, "This time, it's really a good errand." The division wants to send someone to send a headquarters chief to Yan'an, and this kind of arduous and glorious task is naturally indispensable to your special service battalion. If you don't get it right, you can still see Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu with your own eyes. If I had your ability and such a good opportunity, I wouldn't let it go to you. ”
Huang Xing smiled contemplatively, sighed lightly and said nothing. When he went to Yan'an, he had been yearning for it for a long time, and a trace of worry rose in his heart, that is, he was afraid that the peony would not be able to see him when he came.
Seeing that he had something on his mind, Head Zhang lightly punched him in the shoulder and said, "What's not to worry about?" Let's talk about it. ”
Huang Xing's face warmed slightly, and he snorted, "Peony may be coming." ”
Head Zhang jumped up from the ground happily and shouted excitedly: "Great! I can finally meet this fairy brother and sister. ”
Seeing a trace of melancholy on Huang Xing's face, he smiled and comforted: "If there is no delay on the road, it will only be a month to come and go." If my brother and sister arrive first, I promise to receive her like a VIP. ”
Huang Xing smiled at him helplessly and trustingly, and said, "When will you leave?" ”
Commander Zhang put away the smile on his face and said, "This time it's a make-up trip, you take a few capable people to report to the division headquarters, and the specific matters will be arranged by the division headquarters." ”
Huang Xing and his entourage of eight people, dressed as a caravan heading west, took a few stacks of bricks, tea and groceries, and went on the road decently.
Along the way, I encountered several checkpoints of the national army, but they were all confused. However, when he arrived in Yulin, Shaanxi, he ran into trouble.
Two days ago, the boss of Yulin* Japanese goods made people wipe their necks at night, and the government said that it was done. As a result, martial law was imposed throughout the city, and all caravans were seized, and their identities were verified one by one before they could be released.
Before identifying themselves, each person handed over a piece of the ocean every day. The method of inspection is that the caravan itself writes a letter to the family, and the official government of the hometown can prove its identity and then release it. Huang Xing and the others understood that this was an excuse for the local military and government to accumulate money, but they had a task and could not afford to delay.
After a few days, Huang Xing saw the opportunity, put down the guards, and took advantage of the situation to touch the cavalry platoon separated by a wall. Eight people dressed as cavalry, opened the city gate, and ran all the way to Yan'an.
Although Huang Xing and the others lost some worthless goods, they brought back the equipment of a cavalry platoon. Therefore, he was commended by the head of the headquarters, and more importantly, Huang Xing easily met Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, whom he had admired for a long time.
It's really a person who is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Huang Xing's daimyo headquarters has long heard of it. This escort mission, which was completed so well and successfully, made him even more icing on the cake. Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters wanted to ask Huang Xing to cooperate with the comrades of the special service battalion of the headquarters to complete a special task together.
Although Huang Xing is like an arrow, he not only does not shirk the slightest bit about the tasks assigned by the headquarters, but has a rare sense of honor.
The specific task was to cooperate with the underground party organization in Shanghai to find and destroy a secret bacteriological weapons research and development base set up by the Japanese in the suburbs of Shanghai.
After a drizzle in the middle of the night. Although Shanghai under the sun is not as hot as in the north, a kind of steaming warmth still makes northerners feel uncomfortable.
Huang Xing's team, with the cooperation of the local underground party organization, finally successfully completed the task assigned by the superiors. It dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese devils and effectively undermined the criminal purpose of the Japanese in trying to use bacteriological chemical weapons to accelerate the war of aggression.
However, Huang Xing and Peony's mistake has become each other's eternal regret, even skin-like pain.
