Chapter 162: A Sudden Mission
On the 5th of July, the sky at Hukou was overcast, and by 6 a.m., Hukou City had fallen. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops in the city lined up at the former garrison headquarters and sang "Long live His Majesty the Generalissimo" three times, and then faced the northeast to worship the emperor and celebrate the occupation of Hukou.
The officers and men of the 26th Division fought alone for four days and nights, and were attacked by the Japanese invaders with poison gas bombs, suffering heavy casualties, and the reinforcements were delayed...... In the end, Division Commander Liu had to lead his troops to break through.
On this day, it rained heavily in Macheng, and the rain began to fall at dawn without stopping at all.
The door of Li Siwei's residence was open, the window was ajar, and he was sitting at the small table under the window and writing hard: ...... Wei opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at me and smiled hard, "Long...... Sir...... Humble and ...... Didn't become a deserter...... Northeast...... Northeast babies are not all bad seeds......" blood flowed down the corners of his mouth......
Writing, his hand shook slightly, "snap", a teardrop has quietly slipped down, fell on the paper, shattered!
He is afraid of recalling, but he is even more afraid of forgetting. So, he began to write "Memoirs of the Battlefield", not for the world to see, but for ...... No, forget, forget!
"Bang ......"
Hurried footsteps rang out outside the door.
Li Siwei was startled, and hurriedly put down his pen and wiped his tears...... He may still cry, but he will never let his brothers see his tears again!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door, followed by Miao Zhenhua's voice, "Leader, it's time to eat!" ”
"So fast?" Li Siwei stood up suddenly, strode to the door, and smiled all over his face, "This time flies so fast!" ”
When a person is concentrating on one thing, time will always pass exceptionally fast!
"Squeak......
The door was pushed open, Miao Zhenhua looked at Li Siwei, and smiled, "Yes, time flies so fast!" Captain, you're all cured! ”
Li Siwei smiled, "Yes! Lao Tzu is now also 'disease-free and light'! ”
"Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread", these words can never spring up on Li Siwei! He was also sick with malaria, and while the others were lying dead in their hospital beds, he was still stubbornly patrolling the camp; It was also the "penny soup" that he drank, and others could barely get out of bed, but he was completely well!
In this regard, the brothers who came over from Pingyi City were naturally not surprised, and the brothers who joined later had to attribute this miracle to his hard work! Want...... Malaria is also afraid of him!
Are you afraid of malaria? It's hard to say. However, malaria is indeed afraid of penny!
The "penny soup" quickly brought malaria to a halt, and the training of various units was back on track, and morale was not fatally hit, but its combat effectiveness was really reduced a lot. First, the number of sick people is very large, and the recovery is extremely slow; Second, most of the sick people were veterans who had participated in the Battle of Qianshan, and the recruits had nothing to do...... This may be related to the incubation period of malaria.
Li Siwei put on a rain cloth and a hat, followed Miao Zhenhua into the rain curtain, and hurriedly went to the regiment headquarters...... When eating, Li Siwei always likes to go to the regiment headquarters and eat with the battalion and company commanders.
Li Siwei took the hat and rain cloth at the door, and walked in with a smile, "Turtle's, eating one by one is very active!" ”
In the regiment headquarters, the battalion and company commanders were already sitting around the table, and when they heard this, they all laughed and said: "I am not active in eating, and there is a problem with my braincase!" Commander, you said this yourself! ”
With that, everyone burst into laughter...... No matter what you eat, this cheerfulness is also extremely rare!
"Turtle's!" Li Siwei scolded with a smile, strode up to the main seat, and looked at the food, "Lao Tzu has a look?" Two nests, a bowl of soup...... Hey? Or stewed beans with green vegetables? I've never eaten it before! ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei picked up the chopsticks and picked out a round bean and chewed it, nodding again and again, "The beans are stewed crispy, soft and glutinous, enough for heat!" ”
Zheng Sanyang smiled, "Leader, I really envy you!" Something always tastes good in your mouth. ”
Li Siwei was stunned and looked at Liao Heiniu, Liao Heiniu was also looking at Li Siwei, and the two looked at each other and smiled...... In the trenches of Dachang Town, half a bloody steamed bun brood brothers ate together, after such a scene, what can you eat not be fragrant!
Lu Yongnian shook his head, "Alas, there is still a battle to fight comfortably...... In Qianshan, we ate meat twice! Tube full! ”
Everyone was stunned and bowed their heads silently...... Eating meat is a good thing, but eating it is full of crying...... That's not necessarily a good thing!
Li Siwei glared at Lu Yongnian and went down, "Yongnian, Lao Tzu will tell you a story...... Everyone eats and listens as they eat. ”
Everyone was in high spirits and looked at Li Siwei...... Li Siwei often mobilizes his brothers, and he talks endlessly, but he is rarely heard telling stories.
Li Siwei lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, there were a few oil flowers floating in the soup, and there was a special aroma in the mouth.
"Gollum", Li Siwei swallowed the soup and smacked his mouth, "In the past, the little devils' hometown was also very poor, and like us, the rice they ate was brown rice that they only licked once. However, a hundred or two hundred years ago, the little devil's hometown had bumper harvests year after year, and there was too much rice to eat. So, they crushed brown rice into polished rice and ate it, and it tasted fragrant. ”
As he spoke, Li Siwei paused, picked up a bean and chewed it, with a satisfied face.
"Commander," Shi Meng's face was full of doubts, "what kind of story is this...... My family has a bumper harvest, and I can eat a few meals of polished rice! ”
"Hehe," Li Siwei shook his head with a smile, "You think that polished rice is so delicious?" ”
Everyone was stunned, their faces full of doubts, "Why is polished rice not delicious?" Only the rich man's family can afford it! ”
Li Siwei smiled, "The little devil was used to being poor, and when he suddenly ate polished rice, he became addicted to it, and he wanted to ** rice every time, and he rarely ate other things...... So, the accident came? ”
"What's the accident?" Everyone was in high spirits, and their faces were full of curiosity, "Can you eat and have an accident?" ”
Li Siwei nodded, with a smile on his face, "It's really something wrong with them...... Many little devils get sick after eating for a while. ”
Everyone was stunned, "Sick!" ”
Li Siwei nodded, "I'm sick...... It's a very strange disease, this kind of disease is a rotten foot. ”
"Lao Tzu knows," Liao Heiniu smiled, "The fat brother has had it before, and it's not a big deal, it's just itchy and uncomfortable." ”
"No," Li Siwei shook his head, with a smile on his face, "This disease is not light, you know the emperor of the little devils, right?" ”
Everyone nodded, "Then how can you not know?" The head of the little devils! ”
Li Siwei smiled, "The little devil has a Sakuracho Emperor who died of this illness!" ”
"Ahh Everyone was shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief, "Commander, how do you know?" ”
Li Siwei naturally couldn't say that he saw it on the Internet in his previous life, so he had to smile, "It's more than that...... At the time of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, about 20 percent of the little devils died because of this disease......"
Everyone was stunned, and their faces were full of consternation!
Zheng Sanyang frowned, "This matter...... I heard from a teacher in the military academy that he once went to study in the country of the little devil...... He said the little devil called it 'beriberi'! ”
"How so?" At last the people believed, but their surprise was even greater...... You can eat dead people with a meal?! In their understanding, this is absolutely impossible!
Li Siwei looked around at everyone with a smile on his face, "Later, the little devils managed to cure this disease, what do you guess they used?" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the stewed beans in front of them, "Could it be that you just use beans?" ”
They have been with Li Siwei for a long time, and naturally they also understand Li Siwei's temperament...... He never goes untargeted!
Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "At the beginning, the little devil used our medical skills to give buckwheat, adzuki beans, wheat rice, and green vegetables and radishes to people who were sick...... In this way, they were really cured! ”
Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter, "These things, we usually eat them!" Why are little devils so stupid? ”
Li Siwei shook his head, his expression was solemn, "The little devil is not stupid!" It's just that the most difficult thing for a person to control is his mouth, and if he has polished rice to eat, who will eat beans and wheat rice? ”
Everyone was stunned, it's really true!
Li Siwei sighed, "Brothers, coarse tea and light rice also raise people, since you are a soldier, you can't pick and choose!" As long as you can survive, you have to pretend to be a belly for Lao Tzu! ”
With that, he buried his head and gnawed on the nest.
Lu Yongnian's face turned red, and he silently lowered his head to eat.
Everyone buried their heads in eating, the sound of "snorting ......" drinking soup, and the sound of "...... smacking their lips...... Loud and loud.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The phone rang suddenly.
Zhang Yu hurriedly ran to answer the phone, only said the word "yes", and hurriedly turned around and shouted at Li Siwei, "Regiment commander, your brigade commander is looking for you." ”
Li Siwei hurriedly stuffed the remaining small nest head into his mouth, hurriedly walked over, took the phone, and looked whole, "Brigade commander, I'm Li Siwei." ”
On the other end of the phone, Brigade Commander Chen's voice was solemn, "Commander Li, you will come to the brigade headquarters immediately!" ”
Li Siwei was stunned, "Yes!" ”
I can't say it on the phone, it must be a big deal! But what could be a big deal at this time?
"Zhenhua, follow me to the brigade department!" Li Siwei turned around and hurriedly walked to the door.
Li Siwei hurried to the brigade headquarters and went straight to the conference room, but found that a few guards had been specially added to the door, and his heart suddenly tightened...... It seems that something really wrong!
Li Siwei secretly calmed down, strode towards the conference room, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were only three people in the huge conference room: Brigade Commander Chen sat with his back to the direction of the door, but on the main seat sat a middle-aged man in a general's uniform, and on the left hand side of the middle-aged man sat a young man in a school officer's uniform.
Seeing the three of them looking over, Li Siwei hurriedly stopped and saluted with a "snap", "Li Siwei of the 66th Regiment is ordered to report for duty!" ”
Brigade Commander Chen smiled and beckoned, "Siwei, come here!" ”
"Yes!" Li Siwei agreed, and hurriedly walked over, only to see that the general was wearing the rank of lieutenant general, and the officer was a major.
Brigade Commander Chen hurriedly introduced Li Siwei, "Siwei, this is Chief He." ”
Li Siwei hurriedly saluted, "Hello Sir He!" ”
Chief He smiled and looked Li Siwei up and down, "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man!" Captain Li, He has heard of your name for a long time! ”
Li Siwei's heart was empty, and he hurriedly smiled: "How dare you ......?"
He is just a small regiment commander, and he is a dignified lieutenant general...... This is to kill yourself!
Chief He waved his hand, with a smile on his face, "Commander Li doesn't need to be modest, we all know very well about you!" Your division's record is very impressive, enough to be called an elite division! ”
Li Siwei's heart was even more empty, and he didn't know how to react for a while...... "Etiquette must be asked for by others", I am afraid that after this flattery, it will be a thunderbolt from the sky!
Sure enough, I saw Chief He's expression solemn, "So, the Chief's Department has decided to give your Ministry a difficult task...... Is there confidence? ”
Li Siwei hurriedly saluted, "Please command, chief!" ”
The military order is like a mountain! Can he say he has no faith?
"Good!" Chief He nodded and looked at the major officer, "Staff Officer Zhang." ”
"Yes!" Staff Officer Zhang hurriedly agreed, opened the folder, took out a very small map, and unfolded it in front of Chief He.
Chief He stretched out his hand and pointed to the map, and his finger fell near Anqing, "Knock knock", and nodded, "Here...... There is an airport here. ”
Li Siwei leaned over, it was indeed an airport.
Chief He glanced up at him, "Before the loss of Anqing, the advance base of the Japanese air force was in Guangde and Wuhu, which were far away from Wuhan, and the Japanese fighters could not stay in the sky over Wuhan for a long time because of their limited endurance, but now they have moved the forward base to Anqing Airport, which has greatly shortened the distance between them and Wuhan...... It's a terrible question. ”
Li Siwei was stunned, "This ...... A fatal problem indeed! ”
Chief He nodded and continued: "Before the loss of Anqing, the committee also ordered the defenders to break the embankment and flood the airport, but the fighters were urgent...... Anqing Airport eventually fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Li Siwei's shoulder, his eyes blazing, "So, we have to destroy it!" ”
Li Siwei "chuckled" in his heart, and nodded with difficulty, "Yes!" He must be destroyed! ”
The lieutenant general suddenly looked solemn, "Commander Li, this is the task of your department!" ”
Li Siwei was shocked, and his face turned pale, "Yes!" ”
Chief He was still staring at him tightly, his face solemn, "Can you complete the task?" ”
Can you complete the task? Li Siwei was full of bitterness, how could this task be so easy to complete? But...... Count the balls! The head can be broken and the blood can flow, and it must not be admitted!
Li Siwei gritted his teeth and saluted, "Please rest assured, sir!" ”
"Good!" Chief He's expression was relieved, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Staff Officer Zhang, let's talk about the specific plan!" ”
"Yes!" Staff Officer Zhang perked up and took out another document from the folder.
Li Siwei shook his head secretly, this sudden task ...... It's really terrible!
