Chapter 417 In the Days of Waiting

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

At the beginning of night, the heavy rain fell suddenly, and in an instant, it became an endless rain curtain, washing away the heat and flying dust, and the cool atmosphere permeated the training camp.

The smell of wind and rain poured into the room from the open window, moist and refreshing, which made Li Siwei, who was sitting at the table in front of the window and writing and pondering, feel refreshed.

Putting down the pen, looking up at the window, looking at the heavy twilight and the thick rain curtain and the dim light that penetrated the twilight and the rain curtain, Li Siwei was a little abrupt.

Rainy nights, lights, peace and quiet...... This is a scene that can only be seen in peaceful and prosperous times!

"Alas......"

Suddenly, Li Siwei sighed leisurely, slowly took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs, and looked down at the booklet spread out in front of him, with a gloomy expression.

There is only one sentence written on the booklet, and the ink has long since dried:

On May 11, 1942, our unit was ordered to move towards the Hukang River Valley......

Li Siwei looked at that sentence in a daze, and the cigarette in Ren's hand burned quietly, as if he was stupid, and he didn't move for a long time.

It was a heavy memory, and it had to be explained in heavy sentences, but the sentences were so heavy that he didn't dare to write easily!

"Squeak......

The door was suddenly gently pushed open, and the sound interrupted Li Siwei's thoughts, and Ning Rou's voice immediately sounded, "The rain here will fall every evening......

Li Siwei hurriedly turned around, and saw Ning Rou walking in with a rain cloth and a rice bowl, and hurriedly got up to greet him, already smiling.

"Do you go down every day?"

Before Li Siwei could speak, Wu Ruolan followed, holding a vegetable pot in her arms, but her eyebrows frowned slightly, "That's ...... It's more convenient for us to live in a hospital dormitory! ”

"That's not going to work!"

Li Siwei's expression was neat, he strode up, and hurriedly took the food bowl in the arms of the two girls, "This is home, how can you still live in the hospital dormitory?" ”

"Home?"

The two girls took off the rain cloth, looked around the room, a smile bloomed on their pretty faces, and they looked at Li Siwei in unison, "Yes!" This is home! ”

No matter what your status, no matter how much you are carrying, no matter where you are...... Home is the eternal destination of human beings!

"Eat!"

Looking at the two flower-like smiles, Li Siwei's smile also quietly bloomed, and his voice was gentle, "After eating...... Rest early! ”

"Hmmm......"

Hearing this, the two girls were pretty and blushing.

"Squeak......

The door was gently shut, keeping the wind and rain out.

Outside the door, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Inside the door, there is a warm warmth that is slowly accumulating, accumulating...... In the end, the dusk lamp also closed its eyes shyly.

The summer night was a little short, and when the melodious wake-up call sounded, Li Siwei felt a trace of regret in his heart...... Turtle's, why did Lao Tzu have a morning meeting!

"Four-dimensional,"

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, Ning Rou on the side also opened her eyes, shrank under the military blanket, and turned her head to look at Li Siwei, full of laziness, "It's dawn?" ”

"It's still early,"

Li Siwei hurriedly got out of bed, turned around and leaned over and kissed her softly on the pretty face, "You and Ruolan will sleep for a while!" ”

"Hmmm......"

Ning Rou closed her eyes again, turned over, hugged Wu Ruolan, who was still asleep, and gently arched towards her neck.

Seeing this, Li Siwei smiled slightly, turned around and picked up the basin on the bedside table, and hurriedly walked to the door.

Immediately, the second wake-up call rang again, and the camp was suddenly in an uproar.

Washing, dressing, assembling ...... Just like in the old days, when the third assembly call sounded, all the officers and men had already assembled on the muddy training ground, the large and small 15 phalanxes were neatly arranged, and the more than 1,700 soldiers were all holding their heads up and full of energy.

"Bang...... Snap ......"

Li Siwei strode up to the point in front of the formation and stood still, his eyes slowly swept over the phalanx under the stage, and his expression was solemn, "Brothers, have you forgotten the road that the 66th Regiment once walked?" ”

"Don't dare to forget!"

The soldiers looked at Li Siwei on the high platform with blazing eyes, and suddenly promised, "Don't dare to forget!" Don't dare to forget...... There was the blood of the brothers on the road, the indomitable spirit of the sixty-sixth regiment, and the bones of the brothers......"

"Brothers!"

Li Siwei raised his hands and pressed them lightly, shouting again, "Have you forgotten the motherland and compatriots who are being ravaged by the Japanese invaders? ”

"Don't dare to forget! Don't dare to forget! Don't dare to forget! ”

All the soldiers immediately shouted, all of them with passionate expressions, "The land of China is the place where I was born and raised, and the compatriots of the motherland, that is, our fellow villagers and elders, defend them as the duty of our generation of soldiers, and the suffering they suffer is the shame of our generation of soldiers...... Hit back! Hit back! Hit back! Wash away this shame with the blood of the Wakos......"

The passionate cries rose from the camp of the 66th Regiment and drifted far away, waking up the soldiers who were still sleeping in the training camp and waking up the lazy morning sun.

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! ”

Before the shouts were heard, the agitated singing had already sounded, "Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!" The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time, and everyone is forced to let out the last roar......"

Composed in 1935, this "March of the Volunteers" sang the hearts of the sons and daughters of China, sang the strongest voice of this era, and with the spread of "Sons and Daughters of the Storm" throughout the land of China, it inspired batch after batch of revolutionary soldiers, aspiring young people and patriotic compatriots to fight bravely and work hard.

The officers and men of the national army who were awakened by the singing got up one after another, some followed and got up, and some hurriedly dressed up and followed the song to the camp of the 66th Regiment.

"Get up! Get up! Get up! ”

The agitated song still fluttered in the morning breeze, higher than ever, "We are all united, brave the enemy's artillery fire, and advance!" Braving enemy fire, advance! Moving Forward ......"

Perhaps infected by the singing, the morning sun after the rain also became vibrant, and crawled towards the sky in high spirits.

At the end of the morning meeting, all the people disbanded, but the excited color on the faces of the soldiers did not dissipate, and the excited spirit in their hearts did not dissipate.

"Captain Li,"

Li Siwei had just stepped off the platform, but he saw that there were already many friendly soldiers outside the training ground, and the permanent staff officer was also among them, with a bright smile, "Your department's morning meeting was good...... Very good! ”

"Brother Chang,"

Li Siwei walked over with a smile, "Thank you for helping us borrow the military number!" ”

The number of the 66th Regiment was taken away when Calcutta was replaced, and there was no number in the new equipment, so I had to borrow one from the permanent staff officer.

The bugle was borrowed yesterday afternoon, and the lines and the "March of the Volunteers" were rehearsed only yesterday afternoon...... These are not important, what matters is that there need rituals in the army that can lift the morale of the army!

"Oh, yes!"

Hearing this, Staff Officer Chang's expression changed, "I have to go and ask for some military horns again...... Every unit has to be matched! ”

"Brother Chang,"

Speaking of the equipment, Li Siwei took out a cigarette and handed it over, "When will the equipment be issued?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Staff Officer Chang took the cigarette, but his brows furrowed, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while!" ”

As he spoke, Staff Officer Chang lit a cigarette and took two puffs, sighing softly, "Chief Du's headquarters has not yet arrived in Ledo ......"

On the same day, Commander Du led the troops directly under the Fifth Army and the newly formed 22nd Division to Daluo, and the headquarters crossed the Hukang River Valley, trekked hard in the jungle in the rainy season, and ran out of food and medicine......

"Alas......"

Li Siwei naturally knew the danger, and when he heard this, he sighed lightly and smoked silently.

The training was still early, and Li Siwei had to arrange for his brothers to learn English, although the vocabulary was not much, it was quite effective.

The training was delayed, but the morning meeting was carried out in various departments, and the lines and slogans of each department were slightly different, but the "March of the Volunteers" would sound in the training camp on time, which made the British and American allies familiar with it, and they could all hum a few words along with it.

It was well and well fed in the training camp, however, it was very hot.

After lunch that day, Li Siwei went into the room again after inspecting the camp, sat at the table and unfolded the booklet, but when he picked up the pen, he felt a little dizzy in his head, and he couldn't think of where to start the pen, so he couldn't help but be a little irritable, and his brain became even more chaotic for a while.

"Bang ......"

At this moment, Zheng Sanyang walked in with a smile, "Commander, let's organize a group and go to see a movie." ”

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Li Siwei perked up and hurriedly stood up, "Organize the brothers to go over immediately!" ”

Since coming to this era, Li Siwei has really not seen a movie, and of course, in his previous life, he couldn't see a movie of this era.

The cinema was not large, and the soldiers of the 66th Regiment were divided into two groups to go in to watch.

Perhaps because of the language barrier, a silent movie was shown in the cinema - "Modern Times".

Although the movie is silent, it deeply infects the soldiers, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing...... That's the charm of a good movie!

Walking out of the cinema, Li Siwei was also deeply touched.

He once lived in an era where the Internet was developed and movie resources were abundant, but there were few such good movies.

When art rushes in the direction of entertainment, it is bound to miss the best part of human nature!

The days of rest are passed like this, with enough food, good housing, football and movies...... It was so relaxed that many brothers were sighing, "It would be great if our compatriots could live such a life!" ”

Every time he heard the emotions of his brothers, Li Siwei wanted to say something, but in the end, he found that he was speechless.

What kind of day is good?

Even in the midst of prosperity, don't some people sigh that "this is the best of times, but also the worst of times"?

Perhaps, in any era, there are people who are frustrated, and there are people who are struggling to survive at the bottom of society!

Every time he sees the satisfied smiles on his brothers' faces, Li Siwei will feel: It doesn't matter what era you live in, the important thing is to do your best to live!

When he is free, Li Siwei often falls into deep thought and begins to think about the future of himself and his brothers...... If you are still alive after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, where should you take your brothers? Forward or backward?

If so, how?

If so, how?

However, every time he thought about it, the result made him depressed: it was dangerous to advance, and it was difficult to retreat!

"Alas......"

With a light sigh, Li Siwei took out his cigarette again and looked up at the night outside the window.

There was no rain tonight, the night was hazy, and the dim lights in the camp filled the atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Putting the cigarette in his mouth, Li Siwei took out the match, "snorted ......", and lit it.

"Four-dimensional,"

Ning Rou didn't know when she had already walked in, walked quickly to Li Siwei's side, stretched out her little hand, and deftly snatched the cigarette from his mouth, "It's time to eat, don't smoke......"

"That's it!"

Wu Ruolan, who was busy at the dinner table, also stopped, and walked over with a coquettish face, "Cigarettes don't support people, why don't you smoke enough?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei froze, looked back at the two righteous women, and had to smile, "Okay, don't smoke, don't smoke, I'll ...... in the future." Try to smoke as little as possible! ”

"That's right!"

With Li Siwei's assurance, the two girls smiled, "Eat first, and rest early after eating...... It's going to be assessed in two days, and it's not okay to rest well! ”

The female soldiers of the medical platoon are all studying in the headquarters hospital, and the foreign doctor is also preparing for the exam.

"Hey, hey,"

Hearing this, Li Siwei laughed strangely, and looked at the two girls meaningfully, "Since they are both back...... But you can't just think about resting! ”

Hearing this, the two girls blushed, "spitted" in unison, and walked quickly to the dinner table.

"Alright,"

Li Siwei hurriedly chased after him, with a smile on his face, "It's funny!" It's August, it's time to start training, and I need to rest...... Hiss ......"

Before Li Siwei could finish speaking, he felt two small hands crawling up his arms one by one, one left and one right, and then gasped in pain.

"Say!"

The two girls glared at him in unison, their pretty faces full of shame!

"Uh......"

As the saying goes, "Disaster comes from the mouth", Li Siwei had to quickly change the topic, "Eat, eat...... I've been hungry for a long time! Turtle's, I'm still hungry so fast in a day! ”

"I'm hungry too!"

Wu Ruolan hurriedly let go of Li Siwei's arm and walked to the table to serve the meal.

"Does it hurt?"

Ning Rou also let go of Li Siwei's arm, rubbed his arm a little unbearably, and complained softly, "Which one called you to speak...... Don't have a cover! ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei smiled wryly, "Isn't this between husband and wife!" ”

"You ......"

Ning Rou froze, gently pulled Li Siwei's arm and walked to the dining table, "Let's eat first!" ”

"Roast beef with potatoes!"

Seeing Li Siwei sitting down at the table, Wu Ruolan hurriedly picked up a piece of beef with a smile and put it in his rice bowl, "If you're hungry, eat more meat!" ”

Of course, the potato roast beef is made with canned potato beef, but it's delicious!

"Hehe......"

Looking at Wu Ruolan's flattering smiling face, Li Siwei hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, smiled and put a piece of beef in her rice bowl, "Ruolan is also hungry!" ”

As he spoke, he sandwiched another piece and put it into Ning Rou's rice bowl, "During this time, Rou'er is very hard!" ”

While Ning Rou was studying with Dr. Yang, she also had to teach the girl from the medical platoon to learn English, which was indeed hard.

The two girls glanced at Li Siwei with a smile, lowered their heads and picked up the food.

At the small dinner table, there is tenderness!

This is home, the eternal destination of the world.
