Shi panted and ran to Sun Yumin and said, "The river has been sealed!" ”

Sun Yumin's head buzzed and asked, "What about Miss Chen?" ”

The stone pointed in the direction of the battalion headquarters.

Sun Yumin suddenly thought that the shopkeeper of the iron shop said that he could go, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and inform Huzi and ask him to bring the brothers who know the shopkeeper of the iron shop to find him." Special attention was paid to the foreigner shipyards and the various abandoned docks. ”

Shi was ordered to run quickly to find Zhang Xiaohu.

Seeing him run away, Sun Yumin hurriedly walked to the camp headquarters.

From afar, I saw Chen Yun standing in front of the battalion department and looking out.

His feet sped up, and he wanted to run in front of her immediately.

When Chen Yun set off with the group, Sun Yumin immediately felt empty in his heart, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned, and her nose was sour and she wanted to shed tears.

Now she is gone, and although she is a little worried, the joy in her heart trumps everything.

Two days ago, Deputy Gao Tuan and Zhou Hainan occupied the battalion headquarters because Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen had occupied the battalion headquarters, so they had the two of them go to the guard platoon reconnaissance squad to deal with them for two nights.

The reconnaissance squad and the battalion cooking squad are the same yard, which is good, Lao Liutou's loud voice like a broken gong can make the two of them miserable. When they returned to the battalion headquarters, the two men were listless like pickled roosters, and the dark circles and bags under the eyes of the two men were heavier than the other.

I finally returned to the camp headquarters, but before I could sit down, I saw that the stone had brought back thirteen girls. The two of them immediately wilted like frosted eggplants.

Sun Yumin returned to the battalion headquarters, and the deputy of the Gao regiment immediately pulled him to complain, pointed to his dark circles and eye bags, and angrily scolded Lao Liu Tou for not being a person.

Sun Yumin watched him sue like a child, and wanted to tease him, so he asked him, "What's wrong with Old Liu?" ”

So, in the descriptions of Deputy Gao Tuan and Zhou Hainan, the image of Liu Tou, the elder of the cooking squad, was vividly presented in front of the women.

At four o'clock in the morning every day, Lao Liutou's loud voice began to shout on time: "Get up, the rabbit cubs get up quickly." ”

Amidst his urging and shouting, the people in the cooking class began their busy day.

There were more than 800 people in the four companies of the second battalion plus the battalion headquarters, and all the food and drink were handled by eight people from one cooking class. From making noodles in the morning to steaming baskets, from washing rice to boiling rice soup and steaming rice, from washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and chopping meat to going to the wok, you can hear Lao Liutou's reprimand and scolding almost anytime and anywhere.

It can be said that except for Sun Yumin, there are no officers and soldiers in the second battalion who have not been scolded by Lao Liu.

In fact, Lao Liu Tou is very good, and the people in the cooking class and even the whole camp did not disobey him.

He can clearly remember the name of each warrior's place of origin, and can remember the birthday and taboo of each warrior.

He will prepare a jar of chopped pepper for the soldiers from Hunan, a handful of peppercorns for the soldiers from Sichuan, a few garlic for the soldiers from Hebei and Henan, and a green onion for the soldiers from the Northeast.

If the second camp is like a big family, Sun Yumin is the father of this family, and Lao Liu Tou is the mother of this family.

Sun Yumin is as strict and warm as his father, while Lao Liu Tou is as careful and warm as his mother.

Although it is said that Lao Liu Tou's work and rest time is different from that of the big guy, although Lao Liu Tou's voice is loud, it is undeniable that he sacrificed a lot for the second battalion and contributed a lot.

When a soldier is sick or injured, he is always the first to be cared for, and he is always the first to send a sick meal, and in his heart, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion are his chickens, and he is the old chicken that protects the cubs.

Chen Yun was very curious, she asked Deputy Gao Tuan: "Is this person really such a god?" Is it so powerful? Is it that good? ”

"Same as him!" Deputy Gao Tuan pointed at Sun Yumin with his finger and threw down a sentence.

Chen Yun actually didn't know this man very well, and the two of them had been together for less than ten days since they met.

Maybe the length of time doesn't mean anything, the two of them are looking at each other.

You think he's your future, and he thinks you're the person he's looking for, and the two of you are together.

There are many examples of loyalty at first sight, and Chen Yun didn't expect that she would become one of them.

Before meeting Sun Yumin, Chen Yun would never have thought that he would fall in love with a national army officer. He is a GC party member who has to fight for his beliefs all his life, and he is a person who stands on the opposite side of this person and has a deep distance.

Chen Yun is really eager to enter Sun Yumin's world, and then take him to his own world and his own path without hesitation. Perhaps only in this way can you not turn your back on your ideals and beliefs.

Deputy Gao Tuan said again: "If it weren't for this damn war, he and I wouldn't have become friends." He was too merciful to be a decisive general. ”

Chen Yun became more curious and asked, "Then who should he become?" ”

"He should be the owner of the restaurant and the running hall, and Lao Liu Tou should be the chef." Deputy Gao Tuan is in reverie.

"Deputy Zhou Ying and I should be diners who drink and eat in their store every day." Deputy Gao Tuan added.

Sun Yumin didn't want to participate in the speech of the deputy of the second cargo group, but as soon as he saw the face he was obsessed with, he scolded him: "It's best that you don't charge money every time you come, and give you good wine to drink!" ”

"It's for the best." The deputy of the second cargo group thought very beautifully.

After listening to Lao Liutou's story, a room of women who usually chatter like house sparrows fell into silence, and as women, they all asked themselves if they couldn't do Lao Liu Tou.

Several female students shouted to go and see Lao Liu Tou now, the great god respected by the "Big Three" of the second battalion.

Deng Xiufen, a naughty ghost, had seen Lao Liu, and she didn't want to make a special trip to see the person with a scumbag and oil. Turned around and entered the room, throwing down the sentence: "It's better not to look!" The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ”

Zhou Hainan saw her walk into the room, his face was full of unhappiness, and he said to Sun Yumin and the deputy of the second cargo group with a bitter face: "It seems that I have to go to the Chase shop of the reconnaissance squad again tonight!" ”

Deng Xiufen occupied his room.

Shi and Zhang Xiaohu only came back in the afternoon, and they took dozens of people to search all the large and small wharves and docks by the river, but they still did not find the shopkeeper of the iron shop. Sun Yumin didn't blame them, thinking that maybe God was destined not to let them go. As for the shopkeeper of the iron shop, even if he finds someone, maybe there is no way for them to take these thirteen girls away.

The battle briefing in the regiment came again: all positions of the outermost 66th Army had already engaged fire with the Japanese army, and there were heavy casualties.

Sun Yumin suddenly had a bad premonition and began to be a little scared!

He was not afraid of how powerful and ferocious the Japanese army was, and he was not afraid or worried about whether he could hold this position. But he was afraid that if he died in battle, what terrible destruction would happen to his beloved woman, so she would definitely not be able to escape the palm of the Japanese army! So I can't die, I have to live well, not for anything else, just for her in front of me.

There are still many problems in front of him that have not been solved, and now there is one more tricky, and he is the most relieved.

Fortunately, with the mercy of God, the shopkeeper of the iron shop is like a messenger sent by the Great Compassion and Great Pessimistic Guan Shiyin, leaving him a way to survive in a desperate situation.

The pace of the battle was already quietly approaching, and he didn't have much energy to take care of them for the time being. If it weren't for this damn war, Sun Yumin would really be willing to only guard her every day and live an ordinary normal life.

Lao Liu, another great god of the second battalion, brought dinner to them with two cooking squad soldiers under the gaze of everyone.

Sun Yumin didn't eat with them, he, the deputy of the second cargo regiment and Zhou Hainan went to the temporary playground of the second camp for dinner.

The second battalion's meal has lasted for 11 days, and the soldiers of the 2nd battalion have also spent more than 10 days of free time with wine, meat, and money. When the regimental headquarters came to report on the war situation, it had already asked all units to complete their defenses no later than noon on 6 December. Therefore, tonight will be the last meal of the second battalion, and from tomorrow onwards, the 800 people under his hands will depend on the position they have arranged and arranged.

At this last meeting, he was to toast them with a bowl of wine of life and death and sing them a farewell song.

The second battalion is still the second battalion that I am familiar with, and even the campfires lit on the playground have not changed their positions.

Perhaps the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion have already felt the pace of the battle, and the atmosphere in the entire playground today is very depressing, and it is completely different from the previous dinner parties. The cold winter wind swept the sparks of the campfire into the air, and the crackling sound of burning wood in the fire was very harsh at this time.

The eight hundred people of the second battalion all focused on the three commanders who came over, which made the deputy of the high regiment very uncomfortable. He was the lieutenant colonel, the highest officer and the highest rank here, and he was supposed to be in the middle, but he didn't. He knew how many brushes he had, and he knew he couldn't shoulder the expectations of eight hundred.

Sun Yumin is different, he has only one thought now. That is, it is necessary to hold the position of Guanghuamen, and try to make the 800 people under him sacrifice less. In fact, he also knows that this is simply impossible, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. Even if he held a tunnel in his hand that could escape from heaven, he couldn't take away the eight hundred people of the second battalion.

The three of them walked to the table in the middle of the playground, and next to the largest bonfire, Sun Yumin shouted the first sentence from a conical megaphone made of hard paper that Liu Wenzhi handed him: "Brothers of the second battalion!" ”

The sound came from the megaphone, knocking loudly on the hearts of the soldiers on the playground.

"The devil is coming, we are about to set foot on the battlefield, are you afraid?"

There was still silence on the playground, and no one answered him.

"A lot of us haven't fought with devils, and a lot of our brothers haven't even fought."

"But why do we want a group of people like us who have never fought or been on the battlefield to stay here?"

"Our country has a glorious history of more than 5,000 years, with a vast land and hard-working and simple people!"

"Westerners, including little Japan, call our country a giant standing in the East."

But now, the giant was sick, and he fell to the ground and could not get up. So these foreigners came to our house one after another, burned and looted, and now even the neighbor closest to us, who has been imitating and accustoming us for 5,000 years, also rushed to our house with their advanced weapons. They are doing things in our homes, robbing us of our wealth, killing our families, bullying our sisters, and driving us out of our homes. The old people have no children, the children have lost their parents, and many of their compatriots are dying of starvation and freezing on the streets. ”

Many of the officers and men of the Second Battalion were from poor families, and they joined the army either to fill their stomachs, or to earn a few military reputations and reduce the burden on their families. Most of them will not know any great principles for defending their homes and the country, but they must know that others rush to their homes, not only rob them of food, drink, and property, but also humiliate their wives, daughters, and sisters, and kill their own parents and relatives. No one can tolerate it, even if they know that they are invincible, they will rush forward to fight for their lives.

Sun Yumin continued: "Now that they have come here, are you willing to let them continue to move forward? Let more people experience the consequences of the separation of wives and families? ”

"I don't want to!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and then there were more reluctant officers and soldiers of the second battalion to shout out, followed by a neat deafening shout in the entire playground: "Unwilling!" ”

"What then?" Sun Yumin took advantage of the fire to strike iron.

"Get out!"

"Kill it!"

The officers and men of the second battalion were in high spirits.

Seeing that the fighting spirit had been stimulated, Sun Yumin threw away the megaphone in his hand, picked up the wine bowl on the bed with both hands, raised it high, and shouted, "Everyone pick up the wine bowl." ”

More than 800 hands and more than 800 wine bowls were held in the air.

"Today, let's drink a bowl of Zhuangxing wine together, and after winning this battle, Sun will give everyone a celebration wine!" After Sun Yumin finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his hand, and the wine bowl in his right hand was slammed to the ground by him.

More than 800 wine bowls of the second battalion were smashed to the ground.

Zhou Zhenqiang stood in the distance of the playground with several reporters and Xie Chengrui, looking at everything Sun Yumin had done, and couldn't help nodding frequently, and sighed: "What a tiger general!" ”

Xie Chengrui also nodded and said, "Yes!" Looks like we don't have to do anything anymore! ”

Zhou Zhenqiang said to the reporters who were taking pictures and writing notes next to him: "Just take a few more photos here, don't bother them, this is not their courage to drink, but their send-off wine on the road!" ”

He also said to the adjutant beside him: "Give me a good note of him, if he doesn't die in this battle, I want him to be a regimental commander." ”

These reporters did not know how many Chinese people's tear ducts had been shattered by this photo of a bowl smashed on the front page of the Central Daily on 14 December.

Zhou Zhenqiang didn't know that he was bent on promoting him to the head of the regiment, and this person who wanted to be accepted as a confidant later became the famous god of war of my Eighth Route Army. He also did not expect that Xie Chengrui, the commander of the second regiment who came with him to visit the camp, would die in Guanghuamen (1) and become the first colonel officer to die in the teaching corps.

Sun Yumin also did not expect that his remarks on the playground, which were later published in the Central Daily, inspired the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of many patriotic youths, and how many patriotic youths embarked on the road of defending their homes and the country from Rongrong.

(1) Xie Chengrui, commander of the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy, was trampled to death in a city gate cave in Xiaguan during the retreat on 12 December. He was one of the few foreigners in the national army who returned from a German military academy.

In this book, due to the needs of the storyline, it is written that he died in Guanghuamen, and I hope that all book friends will not take it seriously.
