Chapter 375: Procrastination and procrastination
ps: I'm sorry, Carvin, this chapter is still a little short, I'm trying to catch up, and I'll be able to read it in about two hours.
Everyone in the world knows that "women are made of water", but few people know that "goodness is like water", and when they are in trouble, women can often show a tenacious character that makes men ashamed.
If it is said that yin and yang are accompanied by each other, then most men are rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, while women are mostly soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
Today's Li Siwei looks like an iron-clad soldier, but he is still the sentimental teenager in his bones; And Ning Rou looks like a soft woman, but she can be tough enough to make Li Siwei rely on her soul.
On the night of 1 November, the dew was like a pearl and the moon was like a bow, and at the gate of the 66th Regiment station, two brothers on duty were smoking cigarettes and chatting, looking slightly tired.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the avenue, and they came straight to the gate of the barracks, and the two brothers were shocked when they heard it, and hurriedly threw away their cigarettes, took off their guns, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the hazy avenue in the night, "Which one?" Code ......"
"Kizujin ......"
The neighing of the horse sounded, and in the haze, the three horsemen stopped more than ten meters away, and at the same time a slightly tired female voice sounded, "It's me, Ning ......"
"Doctor Ning," the two brothers hurriedly put away their guns and went to remove the obstacles, and a smile bloomed on their tired faces, "Come in...... It's so late, why don't you take a break on the road? ”
"Mo Shi," Ning Rou jumped off the horse, her voice much softer, "It's finally here!" ”
Ning Rou came back, although it was a day late, no one would say that she was not, after all, everyone knew how deep the sadness of a mother had to endure when she left her daughter who was less than two months old.
Li Kun and Ning Yuan also accompanied Ning Rou, although they were both very busy, but no one in the family was worried that Ning Rou was going from Jiangcheng to Kunming alone, after all, the two places were more than a thousand miles apart.
Li Siwei and Wu Ruolan heard the movement, hurriedly put on their clothes and shoes to greet them, and met Ning Rou and the three of them on the school grounds.
"Rou'er," Li Siwei rushed up and hugged Ning Rou tightly into his arms, Li Siwei's mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know where to start!
At this point, no words seem too pale.
Wu Ruolan stood aside in a daze, looking at Ning Rou tightly, her eyes slowly moistened, tears glistening, she was also a mother, she knew better what kind of parting pain Ning Rou was suffering from at this time.
"Siwei," Ning Rou gently pushed Li Siwei away, her pretty face flushed slightly, "The second brother and the younger brother are also here......"
"Oh," Li Siwei smiled, and hurriedly greeted Li Kun and Ning Yuan, "Second brother, little brother, thank you for your hard work......
"It's not hard,"
Ning Yuan hurriedly shook his head, a shy smile bloomed on his delicate face, but he couldn't hide the deep tiredness, "Just follow my sister out to see ...... for a long time."
"Fourth," Li Kun slapped Li Siwei on the shoulder, his tired face full of wry smiles, "Don't talk about these empty words, get some food first, and then arrange a bed...... We traveled more than 1,000 miles in four days and four nights! ”
"Four days and four nights...... Li Siwei's nose was sour, and he nodded hurriedly, "This is arranged, this is arranged...... Tianfu, go find a knife! ”
Li Siwei naturally understood why they were in such a hurry on the road, one less day on the road, Ning Rou could accompany her daughter for one more day, and one second less on the road, Ning Rou could accompany her daughter for one more second!
"Yes," Liu Tianfu, who came in a hurry, hurriedly agreed, turned around and went to the cooking row.
"Second brother, junior brother," Wu Ruolan hurriedly pulled Ning Rou up and beckoned Li Kun and Ning Yuan, "Go back to the house first......
"That's right," Li Siwei hurriedly pulled Li Kun and Ning Yuan to follow behind the two girls, "Go into the house and wash ......"
The lights in the room were dim, Ning Rou and the three of them washed their hands and faces, and everyone sat around the table and talked about the situation after parting.
Not long after, Wei Yidao took Xiao Fan to send a pot of gruel and two plates of side dishes.
Maybe they were so hungry that the three of them ate a small dish, and soon ate a pot of porridge, and even Ning Rou ate two large bowls of the sea.
"It's comfortable now," put down the dishes and chopsticks, the tired look on Li Kun's face decreased slightly, and there was a sense of satisfaction in his voice, "It's the first time I know that gruel can be cooked so fragrant......
As he spoke, Li Kunchong gave a thumbs up to Wei Yidao on the side, "Brother Wei, with your skills, if you open a restaurant in Jiangcheng, you will definitely make a lot of money!" ”
"Second Brother Li," Wei Yidao laughed, "When the battle is over, I will go to you, and we will open a restaurant together!" ”
"Cheng," Li Kun also laughed, "I happen to have a grain and oil shop, and I also have some fields at home, I am responsible for providing rice and vegetables, you are in charge of the spoon......"
"Okay," Wei Yidao nodded hurriedly, but his eyes looked at Wu Ruolan and Ning Rou, who were already sitting on the edge of the bed, with a somewhat confused expression.
Li Kun followed Wei Yidao's gaze and looked over, as if he had realized something, and hurriedly smiled, "Fourth, it's not too early, Xiaoyuan and I will go to sleep first!" ”
"I'll send you over," Li Siwei also hurriedly stood up, sent Li Kun and Ning Yuan out of the door, and went straight to the medical platoon, where there were many empty beds.
Wei Yidao also hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the cooking line.
When everyone dispersed, Wu Ruolan brought water to let Ning Rou soak her feet, then pulled Ning Rou to the bed, and chatted quietly, most of them were Wu Ruolan asked, Ning Rou replied, but, as she spoke, Ning Rou's voice became smaller and smaller, and after a while, she snored.
Wu Ruolan gently folded the quilt for Ning Rou, and quietly looked at the tired pretty face, her eyes slowly turned red again.
"Bang ......"
Li Siwei hurriedly returned and strode in, but when he saw Wu Ruolan turn her head and make a silent gesture, she hurriedly lightened her steps, walked cautiously to the side of the bed, and looked down at the sleeping Ning Rou...... Even when he fell asleep, there was still a deep sadness on his tired face.
Just quietly looking at Ning Rou who was sleeping, Li Siwei's eyes slowly moistened...... Although Ning Rou had been smiling hard since she came back, he understood how much bitterness and helplessness were hidden under that smiling face.
However, no matter what, Ning Rou came back and devoted herself to the work of the medical platoon as usual.
After two days, Li Kun and Ning Yuan were sent away, and the life of Li Siwei's family in the army seemed to be back to the past, the three of them were busy during the day, and they gathered in the hut at night to comfort each other.
The stars are moving, the early winter is quietly coming, Li Siwei's lectures have already been completed, and all the officers and soldiers are fully prepared to enter Burma, but the headquarters of the First Route Army is still nowhere to be seen, and the order to open has not come down for a long time.
On 8 December, the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor and launched the Pacific War.
On 10 December, Major General Dennis, the British military attache in China, asked China to send troops into Burma to set up defenses, and since the Japanese dared to attack Pearl Harbor, they would no longer conceal their ambitions for Burma.
After the Japanese Southern Army captured Vietnam in September last year, it signed a treaty of friendship with Thailand, and at this moment it has assembled the 15th Army on the Thai-Burmese border, and it is possible to launch an attack on Burma at any time.
On 11 December, the Military Commission issued a mobilization order to the Fifth and Sixth Armies, which had been on standby for a long time.
On 16 December, the Fifth Army was ordered to assemble in the Xiangyun, Dali, and Baoshan areas, and the Sixth Army was ordered to assemble in Baoshan and Mangshi, and was organized into the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force.
At this time, Li Siwei had also been ordered to lead his troops to Baoshan, the military headquarters of the Fifth Army, to report for duty, because Commander Wei had not yet arrived, and the post of commander of the First Route Army was deputized by Commander Du of the Fifth Army.
The commander has changed, and the status of the 66th Regiment, the special service regiment of the headquarters designated by the commander of the guard, has also undergone subtle changes.
At the military headquarters of the Fifth Army, Commander Du sat behind his desk, looked at Li Siwei standing in front of the desk, and groaned slightly, "Colonel Li, this is ...... Your regiment will move with the military headquarters! ”
"Yes!" Li Siwei saluted with a "snap" and hurriedly promised.
At this point, the main force of the First Route Army of the expeditionary force has been assembled on the Yunnan-Burma border, and all the soldiers are sharpening their knives and guns, ready to enter Burma at any time to participate in the war.
However, at the tripartite military conference held in Chongqing, the Chinese and British representatives still failed to reach a consensus on some details of the "Sino-British Agreement on the Joint Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road," and the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force, which had already deployed troops on the Yunnan-Burma border, had not received an order to enter Burma for reinforcements.
On 23 December, China and Britain finally signed the "Sino-British Agreement on the Mutual Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road" and established a military alliance.
On 26 December, the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force finally received a new order: "The British side said that the main forces of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army should not enter Burma for the time being, and all units were on standby......
On December 29, the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force received a new order: "...... The Fifth Army did not have to enter Burma and had to be transferred eastward if necessary. ”
After receiving the order, Commander Du dropped his sleeves and walked to the military map hanging on the wall, looking at it with a gloomy face, speechless for a long time.
The generals were silent, but many of them were already angry.
If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight and pull down...... Such a dragging dry ball!
Of course, it is not unreasonable for the British side to make such a request.
First, the Japanese invaders assembled on the Thai-Burmese border did not move for a long time.
In addition, according to intelligence, the Japanese invaders assembled on the Thai-Burmese border had only one attack force -- the 15th Army, which had under its jurisdiction the 18th, 33rd, and 55th divisions, the 35th Brigade and the 22nd Cavalry Brigade, the 18th Mountain Artillery Wing, the 12th Engineer Wing, and the 12th Baggage Wing...... Therefore, the British side thought that they had the strength to fight.
After all, in their opinion, the Japanese invaders have fought hard in China for more than four years, but they have not even defeated China, which is poor and poor, how can the dignified empire that never sets the sun be cowardly before fighting?
Obviously, the ferocity of the Japanese invaders greatly exceeded the expectations of the British, and as soon as the battle began, a one-sided situation was presented.
On January 4, 42, the Chong Detachment of the 15th Army of the Japanese invaders, as the vanguard force, launched an attack from Kanchanaburi in the direction of Dawei, and captured Dawei in one fell swoop on the 19th.
On 20 January, the 55th Division of the 15th Army crossed the Thai-Burmese border, occupied Kogaret on the 22nd, continued to break through, and captured Mawlamyine on the 31st.
On 1 February, the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force finally received a new order: "...... The Sixth Army concentrated on Mangshi, Shafang, and Longling, and Hou Yingfang sent vehicles to pick up and transport them into Burma. ”
However, the situation in Burma deteriorated much faster than the British had anticipated.
On 4 February, the 33rd Division of the 15th Japanese Army defeated the British 17th Division, captured Amba in one fell swoop, and pursued it in the direction of the Siddang River.
On 11 February, the main force of the Japanese 15th Army began to attack Rangoon, and the situation in Burma was completely eroded.
On 16 February, the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force again received a new order: "According to the request of the British representatives, the situation in Rangoon is urgent, and the Fifth Army is requested to be sent into Burma as soon as possible...... All field artillery and anti-aircraft artillery should set off with them, and the armored corps should prepare for the launch first. ”
This day was already the second day of the first lunar month, and as a special task force directly under the headquarters, Li Siwei's department finally received the order to "prepare for departure".
