The shouts echoed in the mountains, and even the soldiers of the 48th Army's baggage battalion and guard battalion, who were guarding equipment and supplies outside the army, stretched out their heads to look at the back of the village, and they also wanted to see what was going on inside.

The people watching on the side of the playground were also infected by this scene, most of them didn't know who the shouting "commander" was talking about, but they all enthusiastically followed the shout, this is the result of being supported by the people, the people are very simple, as long as they believe that this team can be trusted, they will give everything to support.

Chen Lai and Xiao Yuying have mixed tastes, the two of them have been standing behind Sun Yumin's chair, and they can hear all the conversations clearly. As his relatives, the two women are happy for him from the bottom of their hearts, although they are not vain, but no one can be calm about such a good thing. It's just that the two daughters know Sun Yumin and are worried that he will flatly refuse this appointment, once this happens, it will really ......

Sun Yumin was still calm, he really didn't pay attention to this Commander Raushzi, but when the tsunami-like "commander" sound appeared in the audience, he was still excited. Maybe their own ideas are too selfish, and being partial to poplar shops is not what the brothers really expect, and now they are the real themselves. Do you have to accept this appointment? Or do you want to ask Lu Man's opinion before making a plan. In hesitation, Sun Yumin suddenly saw his old subordinate Liu Wenzhi, who was nodding at him, which was encouraging him to accept this appointment. His attitude has also changed so quickly? Before the Chinese New Year, he didn't even agree to put on the clothes of the national army again, why would he support himself to accept it now?

Could it be that he, like himself, no longer wants to endure the days when he hears the devil coming, and then runs away from the wind? Could it be that he also thought clearly that he wanted to accompany himself to continue to make the Japanese army fearful?

"This is the military flag that Chief He was ordered to customize for you, please General Sun to receive it." After Staff Officer Zhang read out the order, he turned around and walked back to the table, took out a neatly folded military flag from his briefcase, respectfully handed it to Sun Yumin, and said politely: "General Sun, please accept it." ”

He said it clearly, although this military flag was made by He Yingqin, it was actually what Lao Jiang meant, which shows how much he attaches importance to Sun Yumin, and this treatment is about to catch up with Yu Jishi, who is his real descendant.

"What did Director Chen tell you to bring?" Sun Yumin still didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked this question flatly.

"Director Chen asked the humble post to bring you four words: family, country, and world!"

Staff Officer Zhang's words made Sun Yumin stunned for a moment, he had thought that Chen Bui would put pressure on him, that this father-in-law would have expectations, and that he had been extremely disappointed by his fraudulent death, but he didn't expect that one of the few decent and good people in the national government would give him such a heavy entrustment.

The four words of family and country are too heavy, and Sun Yumin never thought that he would be asked to take on this responsibility. These four words come from the "University" in the "Four Books and Five Classics", and the original text is "The ancient desire is clear and virtuous in the world; rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; …… The heart is right and then the body is cultivated, the body is cultivated and then the family is united, the family is united and then the country is governed, and the country is governed and then the world is peaceful. It is referred to as "righteous self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world".

Sun Yumin can understand Chen Bui's intentions, but the weight of the four words of family and country is too heavy, and it is really a little unbearable to use it to demand himself, perhaps it is most appropriate and correct to put this sentence on Chen Bui himself.

"What is the world of home and country?" The little girl saw Sun Yumin's confused appearance and couldn't help but ask Chen Lai.

"I can't say clearly, I guess it's about people's ambitions or something." Although Chen Lai is a girl who has gone to school, this question is also too profound for her.

Life in the world, independent and vast, always living in the world of home and country, its blessings and woes, its ups and downs, here and beyond, is our inescapable habitat and dwelling, all people have been, are and will dream of the place where the soul is haunted. Otherwise, there will be no place to stand, let alone develop and grow. In this way, it has to be the world of the family and the country, and it is nothing more than the world of the family and the country! (Excerpt from Xu Zhangrun's long article "Family and Country in the World")

In Sun Yumin's consciousness, he has never linked himself to the world, the country, and the family, all he thinks about is fighting devils, and all he thinks about is throwing away his own blood and taking it as his responsibility to expel the Japanese invaders. But Staff Officer Zhang conveyed these four words, and what Chen Bui looked forward to was that he could do these words of cherishing his family, country and the world. Although Chen Bui's wish is very beautiful, with Sun Yumin's current life experience and his current temperament, how can he do this?

"Looking at the appearance of the eldest brother, he doesn't seem to understand the meaning of these four words." The little girl said: "Since I can't understand it, what else is there to think about." The two of us will help him take the military flag first, and we will talk about the rest later. ”

"Okay." Chen Lai seemed to have planned to do this for a long time, and when the little girl mentioned this opinion, she couldn't wait to agree.

Sun Yumin was still savoring the four words that Chen Bui brought him, Chen Lai and the little girl had already taken over the military flag from Staff Officer Zhang, and the two people who usually ignored each other acted surprisingly in unison at this time, and the military flag was unfurled at once.

When this banner embroidered with the blue sky and white sun was unfurled by two women in military uniforms, the noisy playground suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this small flag.

Sun Yumin is no exception, in the history of the 13-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, countless such blue sky and white sky and red military flags fell on the battlefield, and countless soldiers carrying such banners spilled blood on the battlefield.

Sun Yumin's feeling when he saw this flag, although he was not as excited as watching the five-star red flag in Tiananmen Square in his previous life, he was also a little enthusiastic, after all, he had fought under this banner, and thousands of brothers had fallen under this banner.

"General Sun, congratulations." Zhang Yichun and Ou Shounian walked over and congratulated Sun Yumin, who was still sitting on the chair: "Don't sit, take this opportunity to hurry up to the front and say a few words." ”

The matter has come to this point, although Sun Yumin has not made up his mind, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to bite the bullet.

With such a thought, he got up from his chair, walked to the little girl's side, pointed to the blue sky and the red military flag, and said: "From the Songhu battlefield to the last battle of the Jiangxi Ruichang and Botian detachments, thousands of soldiers fell under this banner with me. Now, once again, the responsibility of raising this flag falls on my shoulders, don't think it's an easy thing to do, it represents bloodshed, it represents sacrifice, it means stepping on the corpses of my comrades and brothers, and I will move forward without hesitation. Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Unafraid! The soldiers throughout the playground responded in unison.

"Are you willing to hold this battle flag and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders, even if it is to sacrifice your own lives for it?"

"Yes! Willing! Willing! "It's still a tsunami-like response.

"Well, I'll accept this flag on your behalf! From now on, you will be a soldier with a mission and duty, and you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of driving out the enemy. You will have a common name, and that is ......" Sun Yumin paused, he pointed to the line on the white side of the flag and said: "Huoshan Independent Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the playground immediately resounded one after another: "Huoshan Independent Detachment!" Huoshan Independent Detachment! ”

After Chen Lai saw this scene, his face showed a bright smile that he had never seen before, this was a smile from the bottom of his heart, and he had never come to Yangshupu. In the past half a year, she has become accustomed to everything about this scar-faced man, maybe even she doesn't know when she started to pay special attention to this "brother-in-law", care about his words and deeds, and worry about his safety. In the past, when she hid from him and did something unfavorable to him, she would gloat, but now, she would rather not talk to anyone about anything or questions about her brother-in-law.

Did my sister feel the same way back then? Do you especially want to walk side by side with him on the same road? Did I really blame him in the first place? Could it be that his sister's death really has nothing to do with him? Now that he has chosen the path he wants to take, should he confess to him? Did you reveal your heart to him? Will he be willing to go the rest of the road with him?

Who said that girls don't have spring, no matter how strong and independent Chen Lai is, how beautiful and arrogant she is, she will always be just a woman. Although Sun Yumin didn't notice her abnormality, the little girl saw all this in her eyes, and she was also smiling on her face, but her eyes were like a sharp sword, as if she was going to cut Chen Lai into seven or eight sections.

Huang Wei found a bamboo pole and put on the flag in the hands of Chen Lai and the little girl. With the light breeze in the mountains, this military flag embroidered in the middle of the red sky fluttering at the end of the flag, and the eleven big black characters of "Huoshan Independent Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army" on the white strip near the flagpole are particularly eye-catching.

…………

Chongqing!

Zeng Jiayan official residence.

"Chairman of the Committee, Sun Yumin did not choose to return to the Twelfth Army, but he chose the number, establishment and rank you personally gave."

Dai Libi respectfully reported to Lao Jiang.

"I have long guessed that he will choose this way, although the 20th Division is also a unit of the 12th Army, but the commander should not be Sun Tongxuan, Sun Yumin's hatred for him is beyond your imagination, this is probably one of the main reasons why this kid wanted to cheat to death in the first place."

Lao Jiang sighed, and then said: "If he is willing to accept the Twelfth Army, I am reluctant to withdraw this army." ”

"Yes, commission, although the army commander is not as good as the commander, but he wants to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, no matter what, it is better than the commander of a division-level detachment. I really can't understand why he would give up his current glory and power to continue to be the king of the mountain behind enemy lines. ”

Dai Li echoed Lao Jiang, compared to this dictator, he knows Sun Yumin far beyond the imagination of others, and even Sun Yumin's every move can be said to be well understood.

"Yunong, if you put Sun Yumin and his subordinates in Liao Lei's custody for the time being, there won't be any problems, right?"

"No, you can rest assured. Although Liao Lei is not old, he is indeed seriously ill, and most of the affairs in the army have been taken care of, and the two armies under his command can't take care of it, so how can he have leisure to fight and play with Sun Yumin. Besides, you also know that Sun Yumin is not a person who loves infighting, Sun Tongxuan targeted him so much at the beginning, but have you heard of any conflicts between him and Sun Tongxuan? Dai Li's analysis was very in place, and after seeing that Lao Jiang nodded several times in a row and expressed his approval, he changed the topic and said: "Commission, the student doesn't think that Sun Yumin will have any contradictions with the 21st Group Army, but is worried that he will have a relationship with the four detachments of the New Fourth Army. As far as the students knew, the four detachments asked Sun Yumin to send artillery instructors, and although he was cold for some time, Sun Yumin finally sent a few instructors over. ”

"Did he really send someone over to be an instructor?"

Lao Jiang's voice was obviously dissatisfied and displeased.

"It's true, students don't dare to lie in front of the commission."

"Didn't you say he had little connection to that side? Why did this happen all of a sudden? ”

Lao Jiang threw out two questions in a row.

"Yes, commission, Sun Yumin does not have any contact with that side, but the matter of sending artillery instructors to the four detachments is also true." Dai Li's answer was unhurried, he paused slightly, and then said: "According to the students' inference, the reason why Sun Yumin sent artillery instructors may be to return the favor. ”

"Favors? What favors? ”

"Do you remember the last Huoshan victory? It was the last time the New Fourth Army sent good news, and the 20th Group Army also sent good news at that time. Dai Li saw that Lao Jiang seemed to remember this incident, and immediately continued: "According to the student's investigation afterwards, it was Sun Yumin's troops who attacked Huoshan at that time, but he was worried that he would be weak and would fall into a situation of encirclement, so he asked a regiment of the four detachments in Huoshan to assist in blocking reinforcements. In the end, he not only defeated the county seat and annihilated the Japanese army in the county, but also cooperated with the two regiments of the four detachments of the New Fourth Army to defeat the Japanese brigade in Lu'an and a brigade of the puppet army in one go. ”

"In other words, most of the credit in the New Fourth Army's good news was made by Sun Yumin?"

"That's right, commission, a certain unit of the New Fourth Army mentioned in the good news at that time was Sun Yumin's Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment."

"Nonsense, when did Sun Yumin's troops become his Ye Ting's? It's just nonsense, Yunong, you ask Ye Ting for me, what does he mean? ”

"Commission, don't ask, Commander Ye doesn't know about this at all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the various departments of the New Fourth Army are too far away, there are many things, he may not be able to know. Based on the students' inference, this incident was caused by the commander surnamed Gao of the four detachments. It is estimated that he has long had the idea of wooing or trying to take Sun Yumin for his own use, and the artillery instructor is just a disguise. And Sun Yumin is not a guy who owes favors and does not pay back, although it dragged on for a long time, he finally lent out the artillery instructor. ”

"Since you feel it so clearly, why not do it? I remember telling you last time, let Ye Ting kill this person, why is it delayed until now? ”

"Bench, that person is not a simple person, before the establishment of the New Fourth Army, he was the strongest among the ZG troops in the eight southern provinces. If you move him, it may provoke a wave of unimaginable consequences, so ......"

"Yunong, this matter is a little different from your style! Call Ye Ting in my name, and limit him to take the lives of the people in the four detachments within three days, otherwise don't come to see me. ”
