With the help of his old superiors and old comrades-in-arms, although the wedding of Li Ziyuan and Liu Cui was very simple, it still went relatively smoothly. When Liu Cui's younger siblings, who had not seen each other for nearly ten years, appeared in front of her. Liu Cui, who has not seen her relatives for many years, hugged her younger brothers and sisters, and could even be said to cry with joy.

Although the in-laws here treat her like their own daughter. But after all, they are not her biological parents, and her brothers and sisters are not her biological ones. Although her father broke off the father-daughter relationship with her, they were her biological parents anyway. I haven't seen each other for so many years, and it's impossible not to miss it.

Seeing her younger siblings who have not seen each other for many years, it is impossible for Liu Cui to say that she is unhappy. Today is the day when he and his lover get married, and the family can appear at this time, which undoubtedly makes Liu Cui even happier. Although this was not arranged by Li Ziyuan, it also warmed Liu Cui's heart enough.

And a political commissar who followed the column came to attend his wedding, once followed the political commissar of the column to the west of Henan, and later formed the Henan Military Region. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he went south, merged into the New Fourth Army and moved to the Hubei-Henan border, and later participated in the Central Plains Breakout. Now, under the command of the political commissar of the column, he followed the famous leather brigade when the Central Plains broke through and was transferred back to the Shanxi battlefield from East China.

At present, he is serving as the political commissar of the regiment in another brigade to which the column belongs, and because he went to the column to do business, he was brought by his old superiors, the cadres who attended the wedding, and he was also shocked to see the bride and the people who appeared. And Liu Cui and her younger siblings also felt very familiar when they saw the cadre who came to her wedding with the political commissar.

It wasn't until this person they felt something familiar that they called out the nicknames of a few people. Liu Cui knew that the cadre of the People's Liberation Army in front of him was actually someone he hadn't seen for many years, and he was studying in Taiyuan when the Anti-Japanese War broke out. After the July 7 Incident, he sent a letter back to his family, saying that he had lost contact with his eldest brother after he went to find the truth of the anti-Japanese resistance.

A family that has been separated for many years, under the current situation of inconvenient communication, met under the city of Taiyuan, which is hundreds of kilometers away from Hubei, which cannot but be said to be the best wedding gift for Liu Cui. At a simple wedding banquet, several cadres of the brigade headquarters and several regiment commanders and political commissars who rushed over after hearing the news raised a glass to wish the newlyweds the revolution to the end, and the wedding of Jianpu would be completed.

It's still wartime, especially on the periphery of the battlefield. According to Li Ziyuan's request, no one can drink more, so everyone, including the political commissar of the column, just tastes it. After eating, the guests who attended the wedding said goodbye one after another. The house was left to the newlyweds, as well as to the reunited family.

When the guests were gone, Liu Cui and his eldest brother, who were anxious to know the news of their family, eagerly asked about their younger siblings. Looking at the eldest sister and second brother who were familiar in front of them, but unfamiliar, the two young people glanced at each other, and it was Liu Cui's youngest brother who told the anxious sister and brother.

The parents' health is fine, but the mother has some eye problems because she is worried about the two of them. The father didn't say it, but the family could see that they regretted it a little. Especially after Liu Cui moved away with her in-laws, her father secretly searched for many years and there was no news, and her father sighed night after night.

It wasn't until the PLA cadres came to the house this time to conduct a political trial of the eldest sister that the whole family knew the whereabouts of the eldest sister. It's just that the whole family doesn't know that the eldest brother's whereabouts are also in the People's Liberation Army. This time, my father knew that the eldest sister was going to get married, and he couldn't come because of his health, so he specially asked his brother and sister to come over to represent.

Speaking of this, Liu Cui's younger brother glanced at Liu Cui, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said. This time the parents did not come, except that the mother was a little unwell because she finally knew her daughter's whereabouts. The father mainly can't pull his face, if the eldest sister is convenient, it is better to go home and visit in person.

In this way, you can give your father an initiative to step down. No matter how ruthless his father was at the beginning, but now he regrets it after all. And my father is getting older every year, even if he seems to be healthy now, but it's time for the wind to help the disabled, so don't worry about it at this time.

The third brother is still studying in college in Taiyuan City, and I don't know what the situation is now. The fourth brother has now also joined the People's Liberation Army, and now I heard that he was transferred to Hebei with the Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu Military and Political University. The second sister is married, and her husband is an elementary school teacher. Now by their parents' side, there are only the two of them left.

After introducing the situation of the family, Liu Cui's little sister looked at Li Ziyuan, the brother-in-law, and then at the eldest brother, who was also very strange, and said to the two people: "Brother-in-law, eldest brother, I also want to stay and join the People's Liberation Army." My brother-in-law and eldest brother are both in the People's Liberation Army, and the fourth brother has now entered the University of the People's Liberation Army, and I also want to stay and join the army. ”

"If I go home, my father will tell me about marriage again and force me to get married. I'm only nineteen years old now, and I don't want to get married so early. You also know our father's temper, and he has always been the same. If he had already said it, he would have let me marry. ”

Regarding this girl's request, after Li Ziyuan and Liu Cui's eldest brother glanced at each other, Liu Cui's eldest brother said to Li Ziyuan: "Chief, there are no female soldiers in our regiment and below, and it is really inconvenient for me to arrange female soldiers." If you agree to her staying, you are the deputy commander of the column, and I think you still need to arrange it. ”

Maybe Li Ziyuan's position is higher than him, or maybe Li Ziyuan is a well-known combat hero in the whole regiment, and having such a brother-in-law has brought a lot of pressure to the young regimental political commissar. Although he is the eldest brother of his younger siblings, in this matter, it is really not his turn to speak. For him, Li Ziyuan is not only his brother-in-law, but also the deputy commander of his column.

Li Ziyuan didn't say anything about this brother-in-law's words, just quietly looked at Liu Cui beside him. It is clear that Liu Cui played a decisive role in this matter. And Liu Cui's little sister is obviously quite smart. Seeing Li Ziyuan, a big official, he looked at his sister, and immediately ran to the eldest sister to be cute.

It's just that no matter how cute this girl is, Liu Cui always shakes her head. Now there are only these two siblings left in the family, and if they leave the old man, there will be no one. And not only her little sister, but also the little brother over there also showed a longing look in her eyes. She didn't dare to nod her head, for fear that after nodding, her younger siblings would join the army.

It's just that this sister of hers, the pestering kung fu is absolutely top-notch. Liu Cui didn't nod, so she was desperately pestering there. In the end, it was Li Ziyuan who spoke: "You are all people who have read books and want to join the People's Liberation Army, at least I, who is a brother-in-law, support it." But do you know that China needs not only to defend, but also to build. ”

"Now Pingjin is about to be liberated, and the city of Taiyuan is also about to be liberated, and there are many universities in these big cities. As your brother-in-law and a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, I hope you will study. Learn a good skill to build our country. Both the Japanese and Nanjing used to despise us and call us Tubalu. ”

"But we can't really pretend to be dirt and eight roads. Look at the Taiyuan battlefield, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting each other, and thousands of mountain artillery are firing at each other. But among the weapons used by these soldiers, is there one that we Chinese designed ourselves? Either imported or imitation. ”

"The Jin-made Type 38 rifle is not known to be thousands of miles away from the original Japanese Type 38 rifle in terms of quality and accuracy. People's 38 guns hit thousands of bullets, and the barrel will not be deformed at all. The 38 style that can be made in Jin, in addition to the same appearance, there is no way to compare it in terms of quality. ”

"There are also those American-made and German-made goods, the quality is better than that made in China. And you have all experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, and you have also seen the Japanese planes overwhelming. But what about us, don't say we don't have a plane. Even the Nanjing government at that time, how many planes did it have? ”

"A division of the Japanese army, equipped with hundreds of mountain artillery and subordinate artillery, can deploy thousands of artillery pieces on just one battlefield, and shoot tens of thousands of shells with a single firepower. Hundreds of planes were dispatched at once, and hundreds or thousands were dropped*. But what about us, this standard domestic army can do it. ”

"Our soldiers fell under the Japanese artillery fire in pieces, and we didn't even have the strength to fight back. Enemy planes circled over our heads and dropped bombs and strafed us, and we had no choice but to be bombed head-on. It's not just us, but how many anti-aircraft guns are there in Nanjing? Hundreds of mountain artillery? ”

"When we crossed the Yellow River eastward, a regiment of the Central Army did not fire a single shot, and even on the march, it was brutally blown up by dozens of enemy planes that rushed at us. We went to collect the corpses, and I still remember the dead and wounded soldiers everywhere inside and outside the village. ”

"At that time, this regiment, even if it had a few anti-aircraft machine guns, would not have been able to fight back at all, and it was bombed so badly. This is still China's best-equipped Central Army, and if it is replaced by other troops, it will only be bombed even worse. During the Battle of Songhu, a division of the Gui Army did not even touch the battlefield, and was blown up by enemy planes. ”

"This is the difference in national strength, the difference in the industrial base of the two countries. What did the Japanese rely on to dare to attack China, which was dozens of times larger than itself, with a small state? Isn't it that since the Meiji Restoration, the modern industry that has been built at the expense of blood has given their army favorable support. ”

"As for our Chinese army, all the factional armed forces, together are several times larger than the entire Japanese army. But the weapon in hand, a rifle that has been eliminated all over the world, only we are still using. Imitation machine guns, the chance of jamming far exceeds that of imported goods. In some units, not a single artillery piece in a single division, there is no way to go to the battlefield except to fight for people's lives. ”

"If you want a strong national defense, you don't only need a strong army, but also a strong modern industry. Aviation, shipbuilding, metallurgy, chemical and other industries, how many are there in our country now? Is the steel output of Nanjing not as good as the steel mill of a small steel mill? ”

"Or are those so-called aircraft factories that have their own production capacity at all, and all the materials need to be imported, but they are just assembled together? And to build a modern industry, people with modern scientific literacy are the foundation. There is no shortage of soldiers in China now, but scientists who can build the country. ”

"Now that the liberation of the whole country is imminent, the construction of New China needs a large number of talents. In China's higher education, 80% of the graduates are liberal arts, and there are very few science and engineering graduates left. I hope you don't join the army anymore and go to university. I went to study science and engineering, even foreign languages and medicine. ”
