/./ Chapter 7 Return (Part 4)

Although I already have an ominous premonition in my heart. Zhang Songling was still stunned by the thunderbolt from the sky. The words of questioning rushed out: "How can this be.!" Didn't the above say that the combat bravery should be given priority to supplement? Look at the whole country. And what team is more desperate than us on the Twenty-Sixth. From Beiping, Niangziguan all the way to Taierzhuang. Which time we twenty-six road is not rushing to the front. Retreat at the end.."

"I don't know why." Peng Xuewen moved his body outward. so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond." I just wanted to tell you a fact. Twenty-six roads are long gone. Some time ago. Your division commander Feng Anbang was also killed. You rush back now. can only accompany General Sun to sit on the cold bench. In a short period of time. I won't be able to find any chance to go to war."

"What did you say.." Zhang Songling pounced like a wounded lion. Grabbed Peng Xuewen's neck and collar. Loud roar: "What did you say. You repeat.. General Feng Anbang, what's wrong with him. General Feng Anbang, what's wrong with him .."

Rao has already been made to watch out in advance. Peng Xuewen still can't hide. Strangled out of breath. Wave your hands and slam Zhang Songling's back." Put. Let go. You. You're going to le. Strangle me. Feng. General Feng again. It's not. You. Strangle. Save. Help ......"

A few agents who were hiding nearby for a drink saw that something was wrong. Hurriedly ran forward and picked up Zhang Songling. Only then did Peng Xuewen finally escape. Quickly walk away a dozen steps into the distance. He rubbed his purple neck. while whispering a command." Let him go. He's just over-saddened. You guys keep drinking. No call from me. Don't come around and meddle with things."

"Yes." Several of his subordinates were not rewarded for their kindness. Drop Zhang Songling. I went in a daze. Looking at the little fat man Zhang who was squatting on the ground. Peng Xuewen sighed. Comforting in a low voice: "General Peng was killed by the devil's plane. You also know. Our air defense has not been very good. However, he is said to have walked peacefully. Basically nothing has happened."

I don't know if these few lies worked. Or Zhang Songling wanted to open it himself. The latter did not pounce on him again. Instead, he silently grabbed a handful of floating soil. Silently stood up. Against the wind. Silently release your fingers.

The floating earth slowly slipped from his palm. Smoke in general. Drift away towards the south in the setting sun. In tears. Zhang Songling saw the figure of a generous elder slowly walking out of the smoke and dust. Rush at him. Wave your hand gently." Brother. Goodbye."

"Sir. Goodbye." Straighten your body slowly. Slowly raise your hand to your ear. Against the smoke and dust that is far away. Zhang Songling solemnly gave a military salute.

Several agents who had retreated into the distance saw this. I was also sad in my heart. Teapots were raised. He threw the wine out to the sky. The aroma of mare's milk wine soon permeated the entire steppe. Mellow and solemn. A few horses grazing on the side of the road with their heads bowed smelled of alcohol. Raise your neck. Let out a barrage of wanton roars." Sigh whew. Sigh whew. Whew.."

"Whew. Sigh whew. Whew.." More warhorses are on the move. Louder roars. Spread farther. The echoes of the wilderness and the neighing of horses soon superimposed. Stirring back and forth between heaven and earth." Sigh whew. Sigh whew. Whew.." The soul returns. The soul returns.

When the sound of horses fades away. The sky was completely darkened. Hurry at night. Prone to encounters with wolves. Zhang Songling was reluctant to take such senseless risks. I found a relatively low-lying place on the side of the road. He led his three mounts and walked over. Silently began to prepare for camping in the wilderness.

Peng Xuewen has always had the idea of taking his cheap brother-in-law under his command. Also with four henchmen. I followed him like a shadow. These people are all veterans of the iron-blooded hoe gang. I have long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air. With their help. Everything is done in an orderly manner. It didn't take long. Three improvised tents were erected on the grass. Someone gathered some dried blades of grass from all around. Pile it up in a small pile. Light it with a match. Someone else used a knife to cut some unknown bush branches. A handful of ground was laid on the haystack. Draw the flame even bigger.

The kind of shrub that is cut at will is very dry. There were small beige flowers blooming on it.(Note 2) When it was burned by the fire, it quickly burned, and it emitted a faint fragrance. Six big men sat in front of the fire, each thinking about their own thoughts, and no one would speak easily, only the crackling of the bushes kept ringing in the fire." Crackling. Crackling. Crackle!" The sound is urgent. The sound is urging people to grow old.

It's not the way to do it all the time. About half an hour or so passed. Peng Xuewen raised his head. Command loudly in the capacity of your boss." Get ready to sleep. Everyone split up for the night. Brother Zhang and I are on the first half of the night. The four of you work in two shifts. Worth the second half of the night and the early hours of the morning. Be alert. Put the pistol next to your pillow. There is no village in front of here. After not shopping. Maybe we're going to get some trouble."

"Yes." Several agents agreed. Automatically divided into two groups. One tent for every two people. Fall asleep. After a while. There was a soft snoring in the night sky.

Look if there is no third pair of ears nearby. Peng Xuewen lowered his voice. Said slowly: "When I heard the news of General Feng's martyrdom. I was also very shocked. But this is wartime. Each of us has to be mentally prepared. Just live for a day. Just fight hard with the little devil to the end. Even if it's dead. I don't feel ashamed of those robes and chiefs who have already gone first."

"Hmm." Zhang Songling was not in the mood to listen to him talk about the truth. Hug your shoulders. Sullen response.

Although the Special Service Corps is said to be the officer reserve of the old 26th Road. Nominally, it was hung under the account of the 27th Division. The division commander Feng Anbang dealt with everyone the most. He has always taken great care of the secret service. Zhang Songling's first medal. It was General Feng Anbang who pinned it to his chest with his own hands. His wound became infected when he was withdrawn from the vicinity of Peiping. It was also Feng Anbang who used the power in his hands. I made a special trip from Shanghai to get a special drug. Saved his life.

It can be said that . Except for the boss Lao Gou. Feng Anbang is the general that Zhang Songling admires the most. The depth of affection for this public. is also ranked above the old prefect Ji Shaowu and the big boss Sun Lianzhong. And this loyal elder. But he was unprepared. Disappeared from the world without a sound. Like many of the officers and brethren of the old twenty-six. Turned into a scorching star in the sky.

"There are difficulties at the top. The three major arsenals in the country have been accounted for by two of the little devils. The remaining one could fall into the hands of the devil at any time. At present, guns and ammunition are basically imported. Of course, priority should be given to replenishing those troops that are still strong." Peng Xuewen thought about it. Keep talking.

The reason why Sun Lianzhong's team has not been replenished for a long time must not only be due to the current difficulties in the supply of ordnance by the Nationalist government. But this one is the only one that can be put on the table. The other ones. Peng Xuewen himself felt indignant after hearing about it. Not to mention taking it out to enlighten Zhang Songling.

"Hmm." He replied with another muffled snort. Zhang Songling still clasped his shoulders with both hands. It seems that no matter how close you are to the fire. are not able to bake the body warm in general.

The night wind on the steppe is hard. Through clothes. The blow makes people's backs cold. Peng Xuewen himself felt a little cold. Moved his body. Sit closer to Zhang Songling." The two of us leaned together. It's more comfortable that way."

For this offer. Zhang Songling did not refuse. Turn sideways. used his back to resist Peng Xuewen's backbone.

He was still in no mood to speak. Just lonely looking at the sky above your head. It's already mid-autumn. Life flies. This time last year. He was still working with Lao Gou, Shi Shi and others. Take the stuffy train to Niangzi Pass. Those days. Twenty-six Road was named the steel head of the squadron in the newspaper. From top to bottom. Almost everyone feels that the scenery is infinite. And now. This army has become a legend completely. There is not even a skeleton of bones left. (Note 3)

As a simple senior and cheap brother-in-law who has seen with his own eyes back then. Peng Xuewen could feel Zhang Songling's mood at this time. But the more this state is. For Peng Xuewen, the more likely it is to recruit him to his command. Although Zhang Songling is not as easy to control as the other agents under Peng Xuewen's command. But he has good marksmanship. Bold. Experienced in fighting devils. In addition, he and Peng Xuewen have an in-law relationship with each other. Well used. It is completely possible to be the right hand of the other party.

In the spirit of thirst for talent. Peng Xuewen decided to go deeper and chat with Zhang Songling a few more words. Stick it the other person's back. He whispered persuasion. I know you're reluctant to keep the old troops. Affectionate and righteous. That's a good thing. But a manly man does things. You can't just rely on feelings. You have to think about other things. For example, personal future. For example, the surrounding development environment. For example, where the general trend is. I'm not advising you to climb up. I just think. People only get to a certain position. to be able to do what you want to do. If you can't get to that location. The more I thought about it. The more tired you are to be alive."

"What is a megatrend.." Zhang Songling finally responded. Seek. It's as low as a dream.

Peng Xuewen was suddenly overjoyed. Thought about it. Whispered: "The so-called megatrend. It is the future development direction of the surrounding environment. That is what the ancients called the heavenly machine. Man can only comprehend the heavenly machine. to make a difference. Otherwise. It's a wasted effort. Let's take your old team. Even if the replenishment is full of soldiers and guns and ammunition. And what can it be... Ban all the military leaders. The power to command the troops will be gradually transferred to the central government. This is where the general trend lies. Replaced you in power. I'm afraid we have to do that."

Zhang Songling's back stiffened visibly. Then he sighed and relaxed. Truly. The Twenty-Sixth Road was not welcomed by the Northwest Army. and could not enter the core of the Central Army. It's just a motherless child. Previously called the scenery. It's just a flash in the pan. After the scenery is the end. It will never be possible to recreate brilliance.

"So what. I advise you to think clearly before making a decision. As the so-called woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man. Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business." Peng Xuewen knew that his words had already had an effect. Just strike while the iron is hot." Even if it's a devil. You should also know who to stand with. Otherwise. Empty has a body of ability. Still. Ahh

Didn't wait for him to finish. The back is suddenly empty. The whole person was planted upside down by the fire. Zhang Songling stood up suddenly. Stride meteor to lead his own warhorse." If it's like you say. Next time you go to war with the little devils. Who is willing to be at the forefront? I'm leaving. We'll see you later."

.

Note 1: Sun Lianzhong's 26th Road was in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The fight has been relatively tenacious. The 30th and 31st divisions were basically lighted. The 27th Division lost more than half of its losses in the Battle of Taierzhuang. Immediately after that, he took on the task of retreating from Xuzhou. Almost fell apart. The division commander, Feng Zhi'an, was also killed by the Japanese in the autumn of 1938.

Note 2: A shrub with white flowers. The common name is dried branch plum. Herbaceous plant. It is very common on the prairie. The branches are in a semi-dry state all year round. The flowers are also very dry. It can be kept in the house for years.

Note 3: Until the summer of 1939. Sun Lianzhong personally went to Chongqing for activities. It took more than two months. only to receive the title of deputy commander of the theater of operations. But the troops under his command are all improvised patchwork. Extremely poor combat effectiveness. And the leading generals each have their own backstage. Refuse to listen to him. As a result, Sun Lianzhong could not fight like Taierzhuang in the subsequent Anti-Japanese War. I have to say it's a big pity.
