Chapter 427: Chief Luo is gone
Saturday, October 10, 1942, was a special day for the National Revolutionary Army.
Thirty-one years ago, on this very night, the revolutionaries of the Eighth Battalion of the New Army Engineering fired the first shot at Wuchang to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty and fire the first shot for the establishment of a new China.
Thirty-one years later, the National Revolutionary Army is still fighting bloodily for its own country, its nation, and its brutal invaders.
In the distant Indian town of Ramgarh, the loud trumpets dispel the last traces of twilight and usher in a new dawn.
"Arise, ...... you who do not want to be slaves"
Not long after, the impassioned "March of the Volunteers" resounded in this foreign town, where the officers and soldiers stationed in India were holding their daily morning meetings.
People in peacetime pay attention to celebration, even a small festival can be solemn and festive.
However, the soldiers in the war years could only work hard, and even on such a major day, the soldiers did not dare to relax in the slightest!
"Bang ......"
Soon, a group of troops drove out of the camp, running along the asphalt roads that crisscrossed the camp towards the mountains on the outskirts of the camp.
This is the physical training in the training program - armed cross-country.
The soldiers marched in the morning breeze in full gear, the full American equipment was a little heavy, and the cool morning breeze pierced the mouth and nose, but the simple faces were full of perseverance and high-spiritedness.
This is a military man!
The teams hurried through the asphalt road, passed through the training ground on the outskirts of the training camp, and disappeared into the hills and dense forests around the training camp.
Slowly, the sun rushed out of the sea of clouds with vigor and vigor, crawling towards the sky without admitting defeat, and sprinkling warmth on the earth.
As the sun crept up in the sky, teams rushed out of the hills and forests.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
"Whew...... Whoop......"
It's just that the pace is slower and more difficult, the breathing is heavier and shorter, and the simple faces are already sweating like rain.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
However, their steps are still firm, their direction is still firm, back to camp! Back to camp!
After returning to the camp, today's field training is over.
After returning to the camp, they ushered in the second rest day since the official start of training!
"Bang...... Snap ......"
Maybe it's because the equipment on his body is lighter, or because he is stronger with Huang Chem, Li Siwei's pace is still very fast, and he still runs at the front of the team, the first to run into the training ground, the first to run on the asphalt road in the training camp, and the first to run into the camp.
"Commander,"
Seeing Li Siwei coming back, Zheng Sanyang, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, looked at him with a smile, "Chief Luo called, asking you to go to the deputy general headquarters immediately after the training is over!" ”
The training camp was commanded by General Stilwell and Chief Luo as deputy commander-in-chief; the United States and the Chinese Central Committee both had their own headquarters and staff; the general headquarters were all foreigners, and the deputy commander-in-chief was all Chinese.
"Okay, I'll go over here!"
Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, "You and Huaili organize today's event!" ”
According to the plan, the rest of the day will be spent on cultural and recreational activities.
"Don't worry!"
Zheng Sanyang hurriedly promised, "We will arrange it!" ”
Zheng Sanyang's legs and feet are inconvenient, so when he is armed to cross the country, he will basically stay at the regiment headquarters as a minister.
After the explanation, Li Siwei hurriedly turned around and rushed to the deputy general commander's department, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, Chief Luo hadn't convened a meeting of all corps-level cadres for a long time, and today ...... There's something big to say!
"Didi ......"
As soon as Li Siwei walked out of thirty or fifty meters, he heard a car honking behind him, and hurriedly looked back, and saw a bright jeep slowly parked beside him, and Captain Rennes, who was driving the seat, was looking at him with a smile, and his Chinese was much more fluent than when he first came, "Li, I'll send you to the headquarters!" ”
"Thank you!"
Having just completed the ten-kilometer armed off-road, Li Siwei naturally had no reason to be polite to him, and hurriedly pulled the car door with a smile and sat in the co-pilot, "Wren, how do you know that I am going to the command headquarters?" ”
"It's easy!"
Captain Wren smiled and activated the jeep, "Just last night, your chairman gave the order...... General Luo is about to return to China! ”
"Uh......"
Li Siwei was stunned, smiled reluctantly, and gently changed the topic, "This car is good, and I don't know when I will be able to get one!" ”
Since the words came from the mouth of Captain Wren, it is not difficult to speculate that Chief Law's departure must have something to do with the Americans.
Li Siwei's speculation is correct, although the training camp has been progressing smoothly since the start of the training, the high-level struggle between China and the United States has never stopped.
Just a few days ago, Chief Luo and General Stilwell had a complete falling out over the appointment and dismissal of the chief of staff of the headquarters, and General Stilwell sent a telegram to Chief Luo to the chairman of the committee, detailing the 10 major charges against Chief Luo and strongly demanding that the chairman remove and replace Chief Luo.
As a result, Chief Luo received an order to return to China last night.
Li Siwei naturally can't mix in such a high-level struggle, and he doesn't want to say more.
"Hehe......"
Hearing Li Siwei pull the topic to the jeep, Captain Wren turned his head to look at him and smiled reservedly, "You can be a good soldier or a good front-line commander, but you will never become a general!" ”
"Uh......"
Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly, "Wren, do you believe it?" I never wanted to be a general! ”
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Captain Wren's smile froze, and he glanced at Li Siwei strangely, and finally, nodded slightly, "I believe it, because, I have read all your information...... I've been wondering why you didn't become a general, and now, get it! ”
"Do you really believe it?"
Li Siwei smiled, "Have you ever seen a general who hasn't entered a regular military academy?" ”
"This ......"
Captain Wren frowned and groaned, "Perhaps more than ten years ago, there were many such generals in your army...... However, in recent years, there have really been very few such generals! ”
In the early years of the Republic of China, as long as you can pull a team and fight, it will be easy to be promoted, but since the situation has stabilized, it is not enough to just be able to pull a team and fight, you still have to have qualifications and backers.
"Wren,"
Li Siwei pretended to be surprised and looked at Captain Wren, "You know our army very well!" ”
"Uh......"
Captain Wren was stunned, smiled disguisedly, and changed the topic, "Lee, I'll have good news for you, you'll be able to have your own car soon!" As far as I know, a consignment of cars will soon be brought from within our country to equip your troops...... Your commanders at and above the regimental level will be equipped with command vehicles! ”
"Oh!"
Li Siwei perked up, "Wren, this is indeed good news!" ”
"Didi ......"
As soon as Li Siwei's voice fell, he heard a car honking at the intersection opposite, and hurriedly looked up, only to find that at the moment when he was talking to Captain Rennes, the headquarters had arrived, and the car on the opposite intersection was Master Sun, obviously, he also came in a hurry.
In the conference room of the deputy commander-in-chief, the chief officers of various departments of the army stationed in India arrived one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen,"
On the main seat, Chief Luo was sitting precariously, his eyes slowly swept over the generals, and his expression was a little tired, "I summoned you today, first, there are some things to explain to you; Second, there are some things I want to ask you! ”
"Yes!"
The generals hurriedly agreed, with a solemn expression, "Please command!" ”
"Good!"
Chief Luo nodded lightly, "Last night, I received an order, and I will leave Lambgar and return to China this afternoon......"
"Ah......h
Obviously, many generals didn't know the news yet, and they were all shocked when they heard it, "Junzuo, why?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Chief Luo waved his hand gently, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Why doesn't it matter anymore!" However, I hope you can all remember one sentence: the army stationed in India will always be China's army stationed in India, and it must not retreat on issues of principle! ”
"Yes!"
The generals agreed loudly, and they somewhat understood the reason why Chief Luo was forced to leave, and they couldn't help but feel concerned.
"I'm sorry!"
Chief Luo looked around at the generals again and sighed softly, "Originally, I wanted to take you back to Burma, but ...... I can only ask you for this! ”
As he spoke, Chief Luo lifted his spirits, and his eyes fell on Master Sun and Master Liao, "Fumin, Jianchu, after I leave, the new chief should not be able to perform his duties immediately, and he will ......be in this vacancy."
In the following meeting, Chief Luo earnestly instructed some things, and waited until the middle of the day before the meeting ended.
Walking out of the conference room, Li Siwei felt heavy...... The country is weak!
If China could have been stronger, would it have been at this time to look up to the Americans?
However, with China's current situation, it cannot afford to lose the United States as an ally!
Therefore, Chief Du was transferred, and Chief Luo was also transferred!
Gloomy back to the camp, hearing the laughter, cheering and cheers in the camp, Li Siwei cheered himself up and strode in.
Something powerless to change...... Let him go!
On the school field, Captain Wren was sweating on the basketball court, with a focused face, perhaps, a soldier like him would not have so many burdens as Chinese soldiers!
After all, his homeland is now strong, strong enough to lead all the allies.
My motherland, make you strong quickly!
Looking up at the dazzling sunshine, Li Siwei shouted in his heart, but when he remembered the history he knew, he was immediately deflated again.
The road to prosperity is still too far...... Far now, he doesn't know if he will ever see that day again.
"Cannon,"
Liao Heiniu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, causing Li Siwei to be shocked and turn around.
"You're shocking!"
Seeing that Li Siwei seemed to be frightened by himself, Liao Heiniu patted Li Siwei on the shoulder and scolded with a smile, "Can't even hear Lao Tzu's voice?" ”
"Turtle's!"
Li Siwei glared at him, "You don't go to tell the story, what are you doing here?" ”
"A book about balls!"
Liao Heiniu smiled, "How can you play basketball with a story?" Lao Tzu finally got out and just went to play basketball! ”
As he spoke, Liao Heiniu pulled Li Siwei's arm and walked out of the basketball court, "Let's go, let's play together!" ”
Li Siwei hurriedly broke free of Liao Heiniu's big hand, and smiled wryly, "You go and play yours, Lao Tzu is afraid of the heat......"
"Turtle's,"
Liao Heiniu glared, and grabbed Li Siwei's arm again, "Let's go, you must accompany Lao Tzu to play this ball?" ”
"Why?"
Li Siwei still stood still, staring at Liao Heiniu tightly, "If you can't say a word, Lao Tzu really won't fight!" ”
"Good!"
Liao Heiniu met Li Siwei's gaze with a whole expression, "You shouted Lao Tzu and said it!" When I was in Jiangcheng, Lao Tzu really didn't look at you in my eyes, and then in Dachang, Lao Tzu looked at you highly, and when I arrived at Yuhuatai, Lao Tzu began to thank you, and when I arrived in Taiping Village, Lao Tzu began to admire you again, and then ...... Your turtle is like a mountain pressing on Lao Tzu's head! ”
As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Liao Heiniu's mouth, "All along, Lao Tzu has been willingly following you, but I also want to win once!" Even if it's just playing a game, even if it's just playing basketball and beating you...... It's also Lao Tzu's wish! ”
"Uh......"
Li Siwei's heart was shocked, and he looked at Liao Heiniu's big face and was speechless.
All along, the brothers have been following behind him with all their hearts, and they have never flinched even if the bullets are raining, but why?
All along, Li Siwei has never thought about this problem, and he has never thought about what his brothers really think......
"Black Bull!"
After a long time, Li Siwei looked into Liao Heiniu's eyes with a calm expression, "Perhaps, you and your brothers think that my Li Cannon is more powerful than you, but I have never thought of it like this...... The reason why I stand before you with peace of mind is because...... You are all my brothers! I've always wanted to take you forward, and bring more brothers to meet the victory! ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei sighed softly, "However, I didn't do it...... Many times, I even think that every brother in the regiment is better than me, because none of you have made a promise that you can't do, and I ...... I often say ......"
As he spoke, Li Siwei's voice trembled, "Even if I know that I can't fulfill those promises, I've been saying ......"
"Cannon!"
Liao Heiniu clearly saw the tears in Li Siwei's eyes, and suddenly jumped, and hurriedly let go of his hand, laughing and laughing, "Turtle'er, if you don't play, you won't play, why are you so serious?" ”
"No,"
Li Siwei looked at Liao Heiniu's eyes and sighed softly, "What I said is from my heart......
"I understand! I understand ......."
Liao Heiniu was stunned, gently patted Li Siwei's shoulder, and his voice was much lowered, "Cannon, I'm just like you now, and I'm also the head of a group, and I can't figure out things that I couldn't understand before now...... Whatever you say or do, it's for the whole team! ”
As he spoke, Liao Heiniu smiled, "As long as it's for the team, for this regiment, there's no mistake!" There is nothing wrong with those promises, at least my brothers and I know that you have been working the promises you once made! ”
"Uh......"
Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and smiled abruptly, "Turtle'er, what's wrong with Lao Tzu?" Why are you still complaining in front of you? Lao Tzu is Li Cannon! ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei pulled up Liao Heiniu and walked to the basketball court, "Don't you want to compare?" That's better than that! Lao Tzu won't lose to you playing basketball! ”
