Chapter 36 The Wharf

On January 1, 1927, the Nationalist Government merged the three towns of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang into Jingzhao District, named "Wuhan" as the temporary capital at that time, and the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, Hanshui, traversed the center of the city.

As the central city of the Central Plains, Wuhan is now quite prosperous, and it is a big city second only to Shanghai.

After three days of marching, the independent regiment entered Wuhan, and the communication was connected to the order, and the independent regiment entered the Tianyi wharf in the city to garrison.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw Wuhan citizens on both sides of the city, holding blue sky and white dates, pulling banners to celebrate the victory of the national army.

Chen Fei was at a loss for a while, and at this time, the personnel of the Wuhan Garrison Command who came to greet the independent regiment came, only to see a major who saw Chen Fei and immediately saluted: "Chief Chen, welcome!" It's been a great journey! I'm here to take the independent regiment into the Tianyi Pier station! ”

"What's going on? It's too hilarious! Chen Fei said.

"Chief Chen, you still don't know that the people of the whole country know about the bloody battle of your regiment in Guzhen, and the newspapers across the country have been reporting on your affairs in the past few days." Major Road.

"Oh, it turned out to be the reporters." Chen Fei said, "Mouse, tell the battalion commanders not to talk to each other, not to be influenced by the citizens, and to march normally." ”

There is a distance to Tianyi Wharf, and there are more and more citizens along the way, all of whom come to see the excitement or celebrate, but when they see a group of murderous veterans who have just come down from the battlefield and are full of gunsmoke, they all begin to pay attention silently.

The streets of Wuhan fell silent all of a sudden, and only the sound of neat footsteps could be heard.

This is the iron-blooded army that has passed through the battlefield, not a parade arranged by the government to make fun of it.

At the end of the team are more than 100 seriously injured people who were carried, this is not a team of warlords fighting, but a team to resist the invaders and defend the country, how can it not be moved, not to be moved, no words can express this kind of scene, the people are infected by this scene, no newspaper propaganda, no big people give speeches, this is the best way to tell the people, tell the people that we are resisting, although we have paid a lot of casualties, but we will not give up! With the existence of thousands of soldiers like the Independent Regiment, the Chinese nation will not die!

Under the arrangement of the major, the independent regiment was stationed in warehouses on both sides of the Tianyi wharf, which had neat wooden beds and clean bedding, enough for 3,000 people.

"Chief Chen, settle down first, and I'll come back tomorrow." Major Road.

"Okay, thank you!" Chen Fei said.

Seeing the major leaving, Chen Fei called He Wenbing and Tang Bing and said: "Chief of Staff He fenced the troop station with sandbags and arranged sentry posts, no one has any orders, and no one can enter and leave the station, Tang Bing will arrange the battalions and companies to camp, and control this wharf, since the Military Commission asked us to be stationed, it must be the same meaning, but now there is no order, only send troops to garrison, maintain order, and wait for specific orders, go and arrange it." ”

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Chen Fei looked at the Yangtze River with a lot of thoughts, the war in the past six months has made Chen Fei lose a lot and gain a lot. Fragments of memory surfaced in front of her from time to time, thinking of her official position was earned by her brothers with their lives, thinking of the brothers who sacrificed, thinking of Miss Lu, He Wenjuan・・・・・・ her mind was like a mess.

"Tuanza! Your room is arranged! The rat came in.

"Oh, okay, let's go!" Chen Fei followed the mouse to the regiment headquarters.

A very nice wooden house, open the window to see the Yangtze River as far as the eye can see, the location is ideal. As soon as Chen Fei entered for a while, the rat cleverly carried a large wooden barrel in and said, "Commander, take a bath, Lao Zhangtou boiled hot water." ”

"Damn, this lieutenant did a really good job." Chen Fei said happily.

"Hey~hey~" the mouse smiled.

In the afternoon, Ding San came in and said, "Commander, there are many people outside who want to meet you, this is their business card, you can take a look." ”

"Oh, let it go! Don't let anyone in. Chen Fei said to Ding San.

"Yes!" Ding San turned around and left.

Chen Fei looked at a bunch of business cards, all of them were immortals, businessmen, soldiers, government officials, and reporters, at this time he saw a business card of "Shanghai Ningbo Chamber of Commerce", and thought to himself: This should be Master Lu's person, see you later.

At this time, Ding San ran in again and said, "Commander, two of you said that it was your sister, and your brother-in-law's people were outside. ”

"Ah~ Sister is here, hurry up! Let them in. Chen Fei got up and said.

Ding San immediately went to greet him, and Chen Fei also followed.

After a while, Ding San came over with a woman and three men, Chen Fei saw that it was the second sister, he was very happy, and shouted, "Second sister, here, second sister!"

"Little brother ~ little brother ~" The second sister Chen Hui also shouted excitedly.

"Why did the second sister come to Wuhan?" Chen Fei looked at the second sister and said.

"I'm going to CD, my father, mother, and eldest sister have already gone, and your brother-in-law and I are going to escort some equipment to CD." The second sister said.

"Oh, when are you leaving?" Chen Fei said.

"Let's go? How to go? There are no ships, and now they are rushing to transport all kinds of machinery and equipment to the rear, a small factory like ours, we can only wait, your brother-in-law and I want to go to find Lu Bo to help in the Wuhan office, and I saw that the newspaper said that you brought a team to Wuhan, and we came to you. ”

"Oh, the second sister is here to sit, brother-in-law is fast ~ fast ~ sit ~ sit, mouse, make tea, good tea, fast! Fast! Chen Fei said excitedly.

"Little brother, you have lost weight and darkened." The second sister said with tears in her eyes.

"Second sister, look at what you said, men are thinner, black spots are healthy, ha~ha~ha!" Chen Fei said with a smile.

"Little brother, now he is the commander of the national army, amazing, I said a long time ago, the little brother must have a future." Second brother-in-law Kang Bingren said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother-in-law, for the compliment, we must have a good drink in the evening." Chen Fei was excited.

"These two are ~~~?" Chen Fei looked at the other two and said.

"Oh, these two are our shopkeeper and manager, you haven't seen them, they have been recruited personally in the past two years, and they have come to see the eldest young master." The second brother-in-law said.

"The eldest young master, the eldest young master~" the two said.

"Oh, by the way, brother-in-law, I took the money from our store in Nanjing." Chen Fei said embarrassedly.

"I know, the shopkeeper in Nanjing told me, it's okay, how much you want, how much you give, it's not your sister in charge, ha~ha~ha~" The second brother-in-law smiled.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Chen Fei said.

"Little brother, you are now guarding Tianyi Wharf, and your own goods must be arranged to be transported away as soon as possible." The second sister said.

"Ah~ Where am I going to find a boat, I don't know the captain." Chen Fei said.

"I don't care anyway, you can figure it out yourself." The second sister said.

"Oh, I know, you live first, I'll inquire, by the way, where do you live? I'll go to you. Chen Fei said.

"Wuhan Hotel, 502, 503, 504, these three, we have been here for the past few days, okay, now that you come, I can rest assured." The second sister said happily.

"How many people are you in charge of? It seems to be a big official! ”

"Stupid, the regiment commander is in charge of two or three thousand people, and the younger brother is an elite unit of the Central Army, what do you know!" The second brother-in-law sneered.

At this time, the mouse came in and said: "Commander, there are a lot of condolence groups outside, and a lot of food has been brought in, you see." ”

"Call Chief of Staff He, just receive the old steamed buns, and I won't come forward." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The rat turned and left.

"Report!" Tang Bing said.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Chen Fei said.

"Regiment commander, the troops are all settled, just now the garrison headquarters called, and the equipment for the soldiers of my regiment will arrive soon, you see." Tang Bing said.

"Oh, you arrange it, add the company camps, it's over, tell me." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Tang Bing turned around and left.

"Little brother, you've really grown up!" The second sister looked at Chen Feidao.

"Ding San, Ding San, tell Lao Zhangtou, cook more delicious food at night, my sister is here, you go to the street to see and buy some local specialties." Chen Fei said to Ding Sandao.

"Yes!" Ding San turned around and left.

"Second sister, parents, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, are all right?" Chen Fei looked at the second sister and said.

"Good! Good! Don't worry about family affairs, with me and my eldest sister here, did you and Miss Lu meet later? The second sister asked.

"I've seen it again, she came to the barracks to see me, and now she should be going to CD too." Chen Fei said.

"Damn bitch, you're almost married by now." The second sister gritted her teeth and said.

"Now that the war is in chaos, I don't know when I can start a family?" The second sister said again.

Chen Fei took out a cigarette and handed it to the second brother-in-law and the two shopkeepers and said, "Sister, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, ha~ha~ha~"

"Stinky little brother~~~" the second sister scolded with a smile.

"Da! Da! Da! "A barrage of submachine gun gunfire suddenly rang out.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Probably maintaining order, I don't know what happened.

"What's the matter with my little brother?" The second brother-in-law and others were shocked.

"I don't know, it's fine." Chen Fei said calmly.

"Drink tea, brother-in-law, the army is maintaining order on the docks, it's okay, rest assured here." Chen Fei said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Liu ran in and shouted, "Report!" ”

"Speak!" Chen Fei said.

"The dock is in chaos, a company commander shot in the sky and threatened, do you have a guest?" Zhao Liudao.

"It's okay, my sister, brother-in-law, don't hurt anyone, go ahead." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Liu replied that he was afraid that he would be scolded by Chen Fei and shot indiscriminately, so he hurriedly came over to report first, and saw that Chen Fei was in a good mood, so he was a lot more relieved.

In the evening, Lao Zhangtou put more than ten dishes on the table, and Chen Fei invited the second sister, brother-in-law and others to a banquet at the regiment headquarters.

Chen Fei never dreamed that he would be able to meet his relatives in Wuhan, he was very happy, and the miserable mood of the past few days was suddenly diluted a lot.

Chen Fei really wanted to arrange for them to live together in the regiment for a few days, but after all, this was in the barracks, and it was wartime, so he could only send his sister to the hotel. But he still let Ding San send three clever soldiers to protect him secretly.

Early the next morning, Chen Fei immediately met with Lu Bo's people, who turned out to be the manager of the Wuhan office of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, hoping that Chen Fei could help let Lu Bo's goods pass through first, and Chen Fei immediately agreed. and mentioned that he needed Lu Bo's help, hoping to get his help, the manager didn't want to agree immediately and said that he would contact the second sister and them, Chen Fei called Zhao Liu, let them get to know each other, and let him find Zhao Liu directly if he had something.

At this time, He Wenbing came in and said: "Tuanzao, the personnel preparations have arrived, you go and take a look." ”

"No need, they are all assigned to each battalion, and the specific numbers will be reported later." Chen Fei said.

"Chief of Staff He, the personnel have arrived, then I have to go back quickly, otherwise the veterans will be gone." Zhao Liu got up and saluted Chen Fei and left immediately.

Lu Bo's manager saw that Chen Fei was busy and went back, and Chen Fei sent out of the regiment headquarters and said, "If you have anything, just come to me, don't be polite to your own people." ”

The manager replied, "Yes, uncle! And he went away happily.

He Wenbing walked over and said strangely: "Uncle? Are you married? ”

"No! This is a family affair ordered by parents. Chen Fei smiled.

"Oh, parents' orders・・・・・・" He Wenbing muttered not knowing what he was talking about.

Chen Fei glanced at him, turned around and went back to the regiment headquarters.

"Report!" Fang Min came in.

"Come in, what's wrong? Company Commander Fang! Chen Fei looked at Fang Min and said.

"The Military Commission and the 88th Division issued an order at the same time, asking us to garrison Tianyi Wharf in the near future to maintain order at the wharf, prevent devils from sabotaging, and speed up the transportation of the wharf." Fang Min said.

"Okay, got it." Chen Fei said.

At this time, Tang Bing came in, saw Chen Fei there, and said: "There are 1,800 soldiers who have been replenished to each battalion and company, there are more veterans, 600 recruits but they have all been trained, the veterans are all scattered when they were injured in the Battle of Songhu, and all units have them, and the Military Commission has done a good job for us, equipped with a Zhongzheng rifle, 30 bullets per person, and nothing else." ”

"There are so few bullets, and there are no light and heavy machine guns, damn, this is too little!" Chen Fei said.

"Forget it, the regiment commander, we are the Central Army, the chairman thinks about us, and the other troops don't even have guns." Tang Bing said.

"Also, in that case, you tell the old steamed bun to exchange our trophies for bullets, light machine guns, submachine guns, and medicines, and do it secretly." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I know, this can only be done by old steamed buns, I heard that the top also sent us 5,000 oceans, right?" Tang Bing said.

"Yes! If you want money, it's better to find the old steamed bun yourself. Chen Fei said.

"No, I want to send more money to my dead brothers, and there are those who are seriously injured and want to be discharged from the army." Tang Bing said.

"It's still thoughtful, you look at it." Chen Fei said.

The two of them seemed to think of something, and they both smoked silently.

The joy of victory belongs to many people, to those who work in the rear, to those who have stars on their shoulders, but never to the veterans, who will only see in a trance for several days the brothers who were lost in battle・・・・・・
