On the morning of 16 August, when the headquarters of the New 22nd Division was still filled with the joy of victory, Li Siwei walked into the division commander's office and handed a letter to Division Commander Li Tao's desk.

"Four-dimensional,"

Before the expansion of the New First Army, Division Commander Li had always been the deputy commander of the New 22nd Division, and he often corresponded with Li Siwei. ”

"Commander,"

Li Siwei lowered his head slightly, with a little shame in his expression, "This ...... This is a resignation from the office...... I hope the teacher will approve it! ”

"Resignation?"

Master Li was stunned, and hurriedly picked up the letter and unfolded it, his face slowly sank, and when he raised his head, he stared at Li Siwei tightly, "Nonsense!" Now that the War of Resistance has just been won, there are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers waiting for us to disarm in the occupied areas...... But you have to go at this time, you are fleeing, you are trying to be a deserter! ”

Li Siwei was scolded and stood on the spot, speechless.

"Four-dimensional!"

Seeing this, Senior Commander Li's expression eased and he sighed softly, "This battle is not completely over yet...... You shouldn't be holding back at this time! ”

"Commander,"

Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly raised his head, looking at Senior Commander Li with blazing eyes, "My subordinates will wait for the little devils to disarm before leaving!" ”

"You...... Alas......"

Master Li was stunned for a moment, and sighed helplessly, "Why do you have to go?" Jun Zuo and I both know your qualifications, and we will definitely promote you when the army is reorganized after the war...... Not to mention too much, a major general division commander will definitely not be able to run! ”

"I understand,"

Li Siwei shook his head gently, "However, I really don't want to work in the army anymore!" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei's expression darkened, "I am very bold, I am afraid of death, and I am afraid of seeing my brothers die in front of me...... Now, the Anti-Japanese War has finally been won, and the subordinates have also given an account to those brothers who died...... I just want to go home and go back to live in peace with my wife and children...... I hope that the teacher will be perfect! ”

"Hmmm......"

Division Commander Li frowned and listened, and after a long time, he nodded lightly, "You go back to organize the troops first, and then leave for Nanjing on the same day...... Your resignation, I will hand it over to Junzuo! ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly promised.

The jeep was bumpy on the gravel road back to the regimental headquarters, and Li Siwei sat in the corner of the back row, his eyes closed and his expression tired.

I'm leaving!

That's all gone, right?

But why isn't it as easy as you think?

If you leave, you will never come back!

Li Siwei was quietly thinking about his thoughts, Hu Dayan didn't dare to disturb, and the driver Xiao Pan only cared about driving...... It was very quiet in the carriage.

"Squeak ......"

It was dusk, and the jeep stopped at the gate of the regimental compound.

It's here!

Li Siwei lifted his spirits, pushed the car door and walked down, and was about to tidy up his clothes and hat, but saw Lu Tiesheng hurriedly greet him.

"Commander,"

Lu Tiesheng came in a hurry, looking at Li Siwei with relief, "You're back, many brothers are clamoring to leave...... After lunch, I came over, and Deputy Chen Tuan and Staff Officer Zheng couldn't persuade me! ”

"Turtle's!"

Li Siwei glanced at Lu Tiesheng and scolded with a smile, "Do you still want to tie your brothers to the regiment for the rest of your life?" ”

"Uh......"

Lu Tiesheng was stunned, and his expression was gloomy.

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and who can accompany him to the old age?

He naturally understood this truth, but ...... Reluctantly!

"Alas......"

Seeing Lu Tiesheng's appearance, Li Siwei sighed softly, put on a full coat and hat, and strode towards the gate.

Lu Tiesheng hurriedly followed, and stopped talking.

When the time comes to separate, who will keep whom?

In the conference room of the regiment headquarters, more than 30 brothers surrounded the conference table, most of them were ordinary soldiers, and there were also several company and platoon-level cadres, such as Huang Hua and Li Li Shaolong.

Zheng Sanyang sat with his head down, holding a thick stack of letters in his hand and reading silently, thinking that those letters were the resignations of his brothers.

"Alas......"

Chen Huaili on the side was persuading Huang Hua and the others, sighing sadly, but his voice was hoarse, "Over the years, how many ups and downs have we gone through together?" It's hard to get to where it is today...... Why do you say you're leaving? ”

Hearing this, everyone was just silent.

"Forget it! Forget it......"

Chen Huaili was still about to be persuaded again, Zheng Sanyang suddenly raised his head and waved his hand at him, his gaze slowly swept over Huang Hua and the others, "I can understand your feelings...... To be honest, I also want to go home and see my mother-in-law and baby right away...... After so many years of leaving, which one doesn't want to go home? ”

As he spoke, Zheng Sanyang put the pile of letters in his hand on the table, "Brothers, take back all the resignations!" If you want to go home, I can give you leave...... But I can't let you go! The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been won, and the good days have just begun...... I can't just let you go! ”

"yes!"

Chen Huaili hurriedly echoed, "You are all meritorious people, although you can't give each of you high-ranking officials, but ...... As long as you stay, I won't be able to treat you with food and clothing! ”

"Commander,"

As soon as Chen Huaili's words fell, he heard Xie Yunsheng's voice at the door, and hurriedly looked over, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay...... Lao Tzu can't persuade you, so let the head of the regiment come and tell you in person! ”

Huang Hua and the others also looked over and saw that they were thinking and strode in, and they all quickly stood up, all with blank expressions, "Commander......"

"Sit down!"

Li Siwei waved his hand with a smile, walked to the table, sat on the main seat, and looked at them with a smile, "Sit down and say!" ”

"Uh......"

Huang Hua and the others sat down hesitantly, looked at Li Siwei and stopped talking.

"Old way!"

Li Siwei's gaze first fell on Huang Hua, who was sitting on the left-hand side, "You want to go?" ”

"Hmm!"

Huang Hua replied stiffly, but he didn't dare to look directly at Li Siwei, "Leader, I still have a master...... This year he will be seventy-eight, and I want to go back to serving him......"

"Good!"

Li Siwei nodded with a smile, "Filial piety comes first...... Your resignation, I approve it! ”

"Turtle's!"

Huang Hua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Li Siwei, and smiled, "Leader, if you don't agree, I have to leave!" I wanted to sneak around, but I felt ...... Didn't you say that Li Cannon's soldiers must not be deserters! ”

"That's right!"

Li Siwei smiled and patted Huang Hua's shoulder, "They are all brothers who were born and died, if you want to leave, you have to say goodbye to your brothers!" What's sneaky? ”

"That's it!"

Huang Hua nodded, but his expression was dark, "Actually...... Never mind! I'll see you soon! ”

Although Huang Hua was born as a Taoist priest, he didn't really attain the Tao, so naturally he couldn't do it without worry!

"Yes!"

Li Siwei patted Huang Hua's shoulder heavily, and his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the other brothers, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, but as long as there is fate, I will see you again!" ”

Saying that, Li Siwei forced a smile to himself, "I have approved your resignation!" However, there are still hundreds of thousands of little devils in the occupied areas who have not been disarmed, that is, this battle has not really ended...... So, I hope you can wait and go! ”

"This battle isn't over yet?"

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly promised, "Yes!" ”

Although the emperor of the little devils has already broadcast the "Edict of Surrender", there are still hundreds of thousands of little devils who have not disarmed...... If you don't disarm, you can continue to resist!

This battle is not over yet!

As a result, there were no more brothers who wanted to leave, and the whole regiment continued to rest and stand by in Zhijiang.

Many brothers have already planned to leave, so they cherish the last time together, and they often get together to smoke and brag without training on the front line...... The camp was filled with a faint warmth and a faint sorrow.

Li Siwei also wandered around the companies all day...... He wanted to say something very much, but he didn't know how to say it so as not to cause trouble, and he didn't know if anyone would believe it, so he could only smoke with his brothers and talk nonsense.

However, there are some things that do not spit out and do not speak...... I'm afraid I'll feel guilty for a lifetime!

That night, after dinner, Li Siwei asked Hu Dayan to call Li Sanguang to his room first, planning to tell him first!

The lights in the hut were dim, Ning Rou, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was holding the book "President Jiang's Words and Deeds" and reading it with her head down, her expression was focused, and Li Siwei, who was sitting at the table, was silently smoking a cigarette with a solemn expression.

"Fourth,"

Not long after, Li Sanguang entered the door in a hurry, and looked at Li Siwei, "Turtle's, what a big official shelf......"

"Hehe......"

Li Siwei smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Li Sanguang, "Sit down first!" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei smiled at Hu Dayan who followed him again, "Dayan, you should go back and rest too!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Dayan agreed, retreated, and gently closed the door.

"Fourth,"

Seeing this, Li Sanguang smiled, walked to the table and sat down, and lowered his voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Third Brother ......"

Li Siwei took out a cigarette and handed it over, groaning, "I...... When the little devil finishes disarming, Rou'er and I will go back to our hometown...... What about you? What's going on? ”

After that, Li Siwei looked at Li Sanguang quietly with a solemn expression.

"Uh......"

Li Sanguang was stunned, "You mean...... Take off your military uniform and quit? ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei nodded lightly.

"Why?"

Li Sanguang's voice suddenly rose up, "You are the head of the regiment!" After a few more years, it will become a ......"

"Third brother!"

Li Siwei's voice interrupted Li Sanguang, and he stared at him with blazing eyes, "What if...... I said you wouldn't do it? ”

"Uh......"

Li Sanguang froze for a moment, meeting Li Siwei's gaze tightly, and his expression slowly became firm, "No! ”

Saying that, Li Sanguang sighed softly, "Fourth, there is a third brother in the sixty-sixth regiment who can't let go!" ”

"Alas......"

Li Siwei also sighed, "Three, do you think I can put it down?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Sanguang froze for a moment, his face full of doubts, "That's ...... Why are you leaving? ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Siwei hesitated slightly, got up and leaned into Li Sanguang's ear and whispered.

Listening to Li Siwei's words, Li Sanguang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed greatly, and his angry expression slowly surged up and gradually piled up.

"Bang ......"

Before Li Siwei finished speaking, Li Sanguang slammed his fist on the table, shaking the cup in front of him with splashes, "Lao Tzu won't leave......"

"Uh......"

Li Siwei was stunned...... Why did it backfire?

"Fourth,"

Li Sanguang looked at Li Siwei, who looked stunned, and his anger did not subside, "Do you think the third brother is worthy of wearing this military uniform?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, "The brothers of the sixty-sixth regiment are not worthy!" ”

"That's right!"

Li Sanguang's anger decreased slightly, "Since we wear this military uniform with a clear conscience, why should we take it off...... Why? ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei froze for a moment and gritted his teeth, "But, if there really is such a day......"

"Fourth!"

Li Sanguang waved his hand, looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, with a solemn expression, "If there is really such a day...... The third brother must also be worthy of his dead brother! ”

Li Siwei was silent, for a long time, and sighed softly, "Third brother, the dead brother died for peace!" ”

"Uh......"

Li Sanguang was stunned for a long time, and nodded gently, "Third brother has written it down!" ”

After sending Li Sanguang away, Li Siwei suddenly felt panicked.

As Li Sanguang said, Lao Tzu wore this military uniform and wore it without a good conscience, why did he say that he would take it off?

Lao Tzu is a deserter!

Li Siwei sat at the table and silently took out another cigarette.

"Four-dimensional ......"

Ning Rou walked over at some point, and when she saw this, she gently grabbed his arm and comforted him softly, "Everyone has their own aspirations...... Don't embarrass your brothers, and don't embarrass yourself! ”

"Hehe......"

Li Siwei smiled bitterly, put the cigarette in his hand back into his pocket, gently pulled Ning Rou into his arms, and rested his head on her shoulder, "Rou'er is right!" But...... I can't put it down! ”

"I understand ......"

Ning Rou gently brushed Li Siwei's back, her voice trembling slightly, "I understand......"

"Don't worry!"

Li Siwei took a deep breath, raised his head, gently pulled Ning Rou up, and stood up, "I'll go to the third uncle and talk about it again......"

Li Sanguang is Li Siwei's compatriot's third brother, Wu Tianyou is Li Siwei's third brother, and the two brothers are the people he can't rest assured of.

Li Siwei went to the direct company to call out Wu Tianyou, who was already lying on the bed, and the two squatted on the side of the school field in the camp of the direct company and smoked.

"Third brother,"

After smoking a cigarette, Li Siwei opened his mouth gently, "When the little devil finishes disarming, I will go back to my hometown, and Ruolan will follow me back......"

"Are you going too?"

Wu Tianyou was stunned and nodded lightly, "It's okay to go back...... Go back and send Ruolan and the two babies to Pingyi! The Anti-Japanese War is won, I should go back, and the old man should also go back......"

"Gotta get it!"

Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.

Those who want to leave will leave without persuasion, and it is useless to persuade those who are unwilling to leave.

Li Siwei naturally understood this truth, but continued to talk to his brothers alone in the next few days.

After all, he can't rest assured!

Of course, it didn't work much.

On the night of 27 April, Li Siwei had just eaten and was about to talk to someone, but Zhao Xin came in a hurry with an excited expression, "Regiment commander, the division headquarters has just called, asking you to come over for a meeting......

Has the order finally come down?

Li Siwei perked up, quickly straightened his clothes and hat, and strode towards the door.

The night was hazy, the conference room of the new 22nd Division headquarters was brightly lit, and the commanders of all departments gathered, all of them looked excited, and after waiting for so long, they finally waited for the order!

"Brothers,"

Division Commander Liao sat on the main seat, swept away the generals, and was also full of energy, "Shangfeng has just issued an order for our New Sixth Army to fly to Nanjing...... Surrendered! ”

Going to Nanjing to be surrendered?

The generals were stunned for a moment, and then their faces flew bright, "Yes!" ”

Nanjing is the former capital of the national capital!

What a glory it is to be able to go to Nanjing to surrender!

Although Li Siwei had already decided to leave, he suddenly felt a heat in his heart when he heard the news.

Nanking! Nanking......

In the past, although Li Siwei's troops avoided Nanjing when they retreated from Songhu, they were not in a hurry, but they did not want to be trapped outside Nanjing...... In the end, only Liao Heiniu and him who were seriously injured and unconscious were left in the whole group.

Now, he will return to Nanjing with the brothers of the 66th Regiment and return to Nanjing as a victor!

The mountain, the cat, the leader...... Brothers, did you hear it under the Nine Springs?
