Macheng, located at the southern foot of the middle section of Dabie Mountain, at the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces, is only more than 100 kilometers away from Wuhan, and the Hanhuang Highway passes through it, and is one of the military strongholds in the periphery of Wuhan.

During the rainy season, the Jianghuai River basin was flooded with rain and the roads were muddy, so the soldiers of the 16th Brigade set out from the savage village and trekked all the way, and finally arrived in Macheng four days later.

The brigade headquarters was located in the city, and although Li Siwei had the rank of deputy brigade commander, he returned to the regimental headquarters after the brigade headquarters meeting.

The 66th Regiment was stationed in Baiguo Town, south of the city, and in early May, the 10th Army was ordered to build fortifications in the vicinity of Macheng, where it was stationed. The main body of the barracks is a school, which has been expanded and repaired, but it is much better than the hastily built shack in Luohe Town.

At the 66th Regiment station, the soldiers were busy settling the wounded and packing up their accommodations, but the smiles on their faces couldn't be stopped...... After sleeping in the open for more than half a month, I finally have a place to live!

Li Siwei and Miao Zhenhua dismounted at the gate, and the two brothers on the sentry "snapped" and stood upright, "Hello regiment leader!" ”

Li Siwei looked around at the two of them and smiled, "Pi Laosan, Qin Laowu, are in good spirits!" ”

Pi Laosan smiled, "Commander, it's been more than half a month, and the brothers are running so much that their legs are about to break, which one is not happy if you can stop and rest?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Qin Lao Wu hurriedly agreed, "This place is much more comfortable than the residence in Luohe...... Captain, how long can we rest here? ”

Li Siwei smiled, "Don't worry, this time, I promise to let you rest and relax...... Alas, the brothers are really hard these days! ”

Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and looked at Li Siwei with blank eyes, "Leader, what ......is that?" To give a holiday or not? ”

"Let's go," Li Siwei waved his hand, "The recruits will be in place in two days, and I will let you go out and play a good game in these two days!" ”

"Great!" The two of them were full of joy, "I just sent out the reward, and I just went out to spend it!" ”

Li Siwei glared, "Turtle'er's, it's all money in exchange for life, don't spoil it for Lao Tzu, send some home!" Qin Lao Wu, doesn't your turtle son still want to save money to marry a daughter-in-law? What's it called...... Oh, call Xi'er, you don't want to marry her? ”

Qin Lao Wu smiled, "How can you not want to?" However, Xi'er is in Luohe! I...... I can't see her even if I think so......"

Pi Laosan was much more skinny, and hurriedly helped him out of the siege, "Commander, as the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, let's just spend a little money to solve the urgent need...... You can rest assured, we don't waste money, we ...... Only...... Only look for affordable ones! ”

Li Siwei was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "Only looking for affordable ones?" You're a turtle son...... Very shrewd! ”

Miao Zhenhua was also happy, "Pi Laosan, is there any benefit to this?" Someday, you will also take Lao Tzu to see ......"

"Medium! Middle! Pi Laosan nodded again and again, "Brother Miao, what kind of deal in this world can't be bargained?" I'll help you find an affordable one! ”

"Turtle's!" Li Siwei scolded with a smile and strode to the barracks, "If you want to go out to play, let Lao Tzu stand this guard first!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them were in good spirits and stood upright!

As soon as Li Siwei walked not far away, he saw Liao Heiniu walking towards the gate with a dozen or so brothers.

Liao Heiniu's military uniform was neatly cleaned up, his calfskin shoes were polished, his beard was rarely shaved, and his big face full of smoke and dust on weekdays was also clean, and he looked twenty years younger, like a young man in a hurry to go on a blind date.

Behind him, a group of brothers were not far behind, all neatly dressed and in good spirits...... Some of the guys were wearing leather shoes and belts that had been ripped off the little devils.

Liao Heiniu took the lead, with vigorous steps and high spirits, "Turtle'er, Lao Tzu will let you see and understand today......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Siwei coming towards him, and hurriedly quickened his pace and went up, and the brothers behind him also hurriedly followed.

Li Siwei stood three meters away and glared at Liao Heiniu, "Turtle, where do you want to run?" Have the brothers all settled down? ”

Liao Heiniu sneered, "Cannon, why did you come back so soon?" Don't worry, the brothers have all arranged, Lao Tzu will go out for a walk, and he will definitely come back before eating! ”

Li Siwei was noncommittal, his eyes swept over the brothers behind him, and his eyes widened, "Turtles, all of them are oily and powdery for Lao Tzu, what are you going to do?" ”

The brothers were shocked, and they all bowed their heads, speechless, "Commander, we ...... We ......"

As soon as Liao Heiniu turned around, he scolded with a face of "hating iron does not become steel", "Turtle son, are you afraid of a hammer?" Isn't it just going to the city to find a girl to play? Can the regiment commander castrate you? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Siwei, with a sneer on his face, "Hehe, Cannon, you are also a man...... It's not a violation of military law, is it? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You turtle...... Before you go, you will change out of your military uniform! ”

With that, he waved his hand and strode towards the station...... Liao Heiniu is right, this matter really does not violate military law!

These are all miserable people struggling on the line of death, is it too much to find a girl? Li Siwei sighed secretly, as long as the reputation of the 66th Regiment is not ruined, let them go!

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Liao Heiniu smiled, "Turtle's, don't you understand?" The regiment commander said, as long as you don't wear a military uniform, you can go if you want! ”

A brother smiled wryly, "I understand, but I don't have any other clothes except military uniforms......"

"I'm also ......"

"I'm also ......"

……

Liao Heiniu's eyes widened, "If you don't have to, just buy it!" Didn't you give out a bounty? There are ten oceans, what kind of clothes can't be bought? ”

In the regiment headquarters, Lu Yongnian was chatting with Zheng Sanyang, and when he saw Li Siwei coming in, he hurriedly got up, greeted the door, pulled Li Siwei up left and right, and walked out, "Regiment leader, you are finally back, just waiting for you!" ”

The two of them also cleaned up their profits, and it seemed that they were also ready to go out and have fun.

Li Siwei was stunned, "Lao Tzu just came back, where did he go?" ”

Lu Yongnian smiled, "I'm half a Macheng person, since I'm in Macheng, why don't I ask you to go out and play a game...... The wine and food of Baiwei Zhai are good, and the girls in Yihong Mansion are also smart. ”

"That's right," Zheng Sanyang nodded hurriedly, with a moved face, "When we arrive in Macheng, Yongnian is half a master, and we can't live up to his kindness!" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Isn't Yongnian from Wuhan?" ”

Zheng Sanyang smiled, "His daughter-in-law is from Macheng!" ”

Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head, "Hehe, it's not good to go out and play, if you meet Yongnian's father-in-law on the Cuihong Building, it will be embarrassing." ”

Lu Yongnian and Zheng Sanyang were both stunned, "This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? What man doesn't steal a little fishy! ”

Li Siwei waved his hand, his expression was full, "Let's have a meeting first." ”

"Meeting?" The two were stunned, "There's a new mission again?" ”

Li Siwei looked at him with a solemn expression, "Our department will make up on the spot and will not leave for a short time." ”

"That's good," both of them breathed a sigh of relief, "after a lot of hard fighting, the brothers are already exhausted, if you pull us up again, I'm afraid that there will be nothing left of this little human gun, and then there will be no sixty-six regiments!" ”

Li Siwei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The big battle is definitely indispensable, and the time for rest and recuperation will not be too much, once the battle situation on the front line deteriorates...... So, we need to make a detailed training plan as soon as possible! ”

Lu Yongnian was stunned, "The training in Luohe is good!" ”

Zheng Sanyang also nodded, "I also think that training plan can be used continuously." ”

Li Siwei nodded, "Well, the training plan can be slowly improved after the recruits are added, but there is another thing that must be done right away!" ”

Lu Yongnian was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

Zheng Sanyang frowned, "Military discipline? ”

Li Siwei nodded heavily, "Yes!" The recruits don't know when they can come, and the discipline must be set before this, otherwise they will not cause less trouble one by one! ”

Lu Yongnian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This thing is not easy to do!" Brothers were born and died on the front line, and they finally withdrew to the rear to rest, so they can't still be managed to death like they did on the front line, right? ”

Zheng Sanyang nodded hurriedly, "Commander, Yongnian is right...... They are all people who die for a lifetime, and if they can be more relaxed, they will be more relaxed. ”

Li Siwei's eyes widened, "Turtle's, is Lao Tzu such an unkind person?" ”

The two of them laughed wryly, "That's not ......"

Li Siwei showed a hint of a smile, "Lao Tzu asked you to set a rule, just to be more relaxed!" Just don't ruin the reputation of the 66th Regiment, they can do anything...... You refer to this article to list Lao Tzu one by one. ”

The two of them were stunned, "As long as it doesn't ruin the reputation of the 66th Regiment?" ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei nodded heavily, "The 66th Regiment is not only the living brothers, but also the dead brothers...... Which turtle has ruined the reputation of the 66th Regiment, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and being ruthless! ”

"Yes!" The two of them were shocked, "Let's start now!" ”

After some discussion at the regiment headquarters, the three of them set a few rules:

First, it is forbidden to carry weapons when going out;

second, casual clothes are required to enter and exit the sound and color field;

……

There are more than ten of them, although they are not very strict, but they are very detailed.

Zheng Sanyang smiled, "I'm afraid that many brothers will complain!" ”

Lu Yongnian nodded, "Yes!" Captain, you're too detailed, aren't you? ”

Li Siwei shook his head with a straight face, "The brothers are working hard enough on the front line, right?" ”

"Yes!" The two nodded again and again, "Great achievements!" ”

Li Siwei continued to ask: "Should they be embraced by the people?" ”

"Yes!" The two nodded repeatedly, "Naturally!" ”

"If," Li Siwei changed his words, "if they indulge for a while and hurt the people, will the people still support them?" ”

"This ......" The two of them were stunned, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Li Siwei nodded and sighed, "Maybe the brothers are just indulging for a while, but the consequences are very serious, so we must take precautions!" The brothers are killing devils on the front line, and the people have only heard about it, but how the brothers get along with the people in the rear, they can see it with their own eyes and experience it with their own eyes! ”

After leaving the regiment headquarters, Li Siwei inspected the battalions, and then went to the medical platoon.

Shi Meng has already gotten a lot better, and he saw Li Si

......"

The same scene was played out in other barracks, in schools, in squares, in battle-torn trenches...... One by one, the sons and daughters of China with tears in their eyes looked at the blue sky and white sun flag flying high, singing, shouting, and shouting, "China will not die...... The voice converged into the cry of the Chinese nation, resounding in every corner of Shanghai, and the cry pierced the sky and resounded throughout the world!

Li Siwei had already burst into tears, forgetting the historical knowledge of his previous life, forgetting where he came from, forgetting where he was, only the blue sky and white sun flag flying high in the sky over Shanghai in his eyes, and the shouts of the Paoze brothers from all over the world in his ears, and only one thought in his heart - China will not die!

In the first battle of Songhu, the national army mobilized 70 divisions and more than 700,000 people to participate in this general battle, which was the first general battle to resist the Japanese invaders.

Li Siwei firmly believes that no matter what the outcome of this battle is, the heroic soldiers of the national army have defended this land with their lives, and they are real national heroes - Li Siwei is very glad that he can fight side by side with them, and he is proud that he has been wounded and shed blood for this land!

Men in the army also cry, but after crying, they are still iron-clad men! The officers and men of the 26th Division withdrew from the western suburbs of Shanghai one after another and retreated towards Nanjing, and many people were still looking back frequently, looking to the east, looking at the blue sky and white sun flags flying high in the sky over Shanghai and the smoke of gunpowder!

Since November 9, the Japanese army has repelled the scattered resistance of the Nationalist army, and occupied Hongqiao Airport, Longhua, Fengjing, and Qingpu.

On November 11, the Japanese army advanced to the south bank of the Suzhou Creek, and the Nationalist troops in Nanshi and Pudong were ordered to withdraw from their positions. On the same day, Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai, issued a letter to the citizens, declaring with great sorrow: Shanghai, the largest metropolis in the Far East, has fallen!

On November 13, the national government issued a statement on the retreat from Shanghai: "Soldiers from all over the country, hearing about the righteousness and going to the difficulty, the day is coming, they have built trenches with their flesh and blood on the front line, there is no retreat, the position is reduced to ashes, the military heart is still as strong as iron stone, the courage of the battle, the fierceness of the death, it is enough to show."

The swarming refugees on both sides of the Yangtze River and the retreating army are intertwined, stretching endlessly, and the momentum is huge!

When Li Siwei and his team evacuated Shanghai, the blue sky and white sun flag were still fluttering in the wind on the roof of the Sixing warehouse, inspiring thousands of soldiers and civilians who fought bloodily to defend the land.

After the downsizing of the 26th Division, only one regiment and one battalion remained, but the officers and men were all elite who had experienced the baptism of war.

Li Siwei became the official platoon commander, and although the military uniform was old, it was already on the collar badge
