Zhao Lei didn't expect that Tang Chunhong would actually say such a confidential thing in the party like this, so when he looked at Tang Chunhong with a shocked face, what he got was an embarrassing sentence from her: "We don't have to hide anything in front of the military seat, you can rest assured, no matter how big it is, the military seat will not publicize it to the outside world." ”

Sun Yumin had already seen Zhao Lei's thoughts, but he didn't break it, and when he saw Zhao Lei's restless appearance after Tang Chunhong spoke, he only smiled slightly.

"Throne, I didn't mean that, I just ...... It's just ......" Zhao Lei's face was flushed, and he wanted to apologize, but it was difficult to say. He didn't do anything wrong, Sun Yumin is not a member of the party, so it's normal not to tell him, but why Zhao Lei is embarrassed at this time, he can't explain the reason himself.

"Well, you don't have to explain. Because what Chunhong said is not within the scope of our solution at all. Since they are beyond our ability, even if we give warnings, the final result is still in vain. Sun Yumin relieved Zhao Lei, although he had not been in contact with him for too long, Sun Yumin knew that the ability of the director of the political department was still very strong. In the past, whether it was in the 20th Division or in Huoshan, there were always recruits who ran away during training or before the war, and since he took office, he took a group of sub-political work officers to work all day long, and the effect was obvious, at least this situation has not been seen in the intensive training during this period.

"Junzao, in fact, we also know that you have done our best to let us issue a warning, but the above wants us to ask you, so ......" Tang Chunhong said at this time, as if he was afraid that Sun Yumin would misunderstand, and changed his words again, explaining: "I don't necessarily let you stand up, just ask." ”

"Sister Hong," the title blurted out from Sun Yumin's mouth again.

When this title jumped out of his mouth, Sun Yumin was still stunned, and Lu Man's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind.

Alas, I still can't forget her, Sun Yumin sighed, and continued: "Director Tang, you can tell your superiors, I deeply sympathize and regret about what happened to the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and I apologize for not being able to help much. ”

"Don't say that, Commander." Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong shouted in unison.

"You've done enough, this matter ......" Tang Chunhong and Zhao Lei glanced at each other before continuing, but before the words were finished, they were interrupted by Sun Yumin.

"Let's stop talking about what has happened, and now we need to think about how to solve the difficulties that lie ahead."

When Sun Yumin said this, he got up and walked to the door, and saw Chen Lai leaning against the door alone, and the little girl was still playing in the courtyard with Chu Jiu, except for them, after there were no outsiders, he walked back again, and said to Tang Chunhong and Zhao Lei: "Although Lao Jiang has sent a telegram to declare the New Fourth Army a rebel army, and banned the number and establishment of the New Fourth Army, I know that the reconstruction of the New Fourth Army is imperative. Since we want to rebuild the New Fourth Army, then weapons and ammunition are necessary, and if you report it, I can provide a reorganized regiment of weapons and equipment to the New Fourth Army. ”

"Really?"

Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong were both so shocked that they stood up, and they almost didn't cheer.

"Of course, I, Sun Yumin, never tell lies."

"Great, if the military seat provided such a large amount of weapons and ammunition, the process of reconstruction would be much faster." Tang Chunhong may not feel anything, but how could Zhao Lei, who was born in the army, not know the preciousness of the weapons and equipment of this regiment. Although the New Fourth Army is not as desperately short of guns and ammunition as the guerrillas, it will of course be a relief to be able to receive a batch of aid at a time when the losses are so heavy.

"This batch of weapons and equipment can't be shipped out of my place, it must have a name, otherwise the Twelfth Army is so big, if Shangfeng finds out that I gave it privately, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. When you report, mention it, let your superiors also think of a way, and I should also think about it, it is best to have the best of both worlds, so that the New Fourth Army can get these equipment, and it will not put too much pressure on my side. Sun Yumin's words suddenly cooled down the excitement of Tang Chunhong and Zhao Lei, who were both elites who had been engaged in underground work for many years, and could deeply understand the meaning and bitterness of Sun Yumin's words.

"Okay, we'll report to our superiors right away. Rest assured, even if there are many obstacles, we will deliver this batch of weapons and ammunition to the soldiers. Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and said, he knows too well the importance of this batch of weapons and equipment to the troops, and knows too well whether there is such a batch of weapons and equipment, and the difference in the progress of the reconstruction work, so it is no exaggeration to say that this batch of weapons and equipment donated by Sun Yumin is definitely more important than his life.

After Tang Chunhong and Zhao Lei left, Sun Yumin's brows soothed, and the whole person lay on the chair with his eyes closed.

Just as he was closing his eyes and recuperating, he suddenly felt a few fingers pressed on his temples, gently pressed and rubbed, followed by a faint fragrance into his nostrils, this smell was too familiar, he didn't need to open his eyes to know that it was Chen Lai who pinched and pressed for him.

"Brother-in-law, why are you doing this?"

Chen Lai suddenly asked, although this little Nizi is a member of the military command, Sun Yumin has no defense against her, not only because she is the aunt of Chu Jiu, but also because he has an incomprehensible reassurance about this little Nizi, just like when he was not defensive against Chen Yun.

"Do what?"

Sun Yumin didn't open his eyes, but asked rhetorically.

"Why take such a big risk, don't say that you can't use this batch of weapons and equipment replaced by the Seventh Regiment, I'm not a three-year-old child."

"I didn't take any risks, this batch of weapons and equipment is really useless, and besides, I never treated you like a child."

Sun Yumin replied to Chen Lai's words, and answered her questions one by one, which was a little different from Sun Yumin at the usual time.

"Are you really going to tell me the truth?" Chen Lai stopped what she was doing, she turned to Sun Yumin's side, and said, "You open my eyes for me and talk well." ”

Sun Yumin had already heard the signs of anger from her words, but he still didn't open his eyes, and his tone was more flat than before: "I've told you the truth, Xiao Lai, I didn't hide anything from you, you know everything I know, what do you want me to tell you?" ”

"Why did you give them the guns that the Seventh Regiment had replaced, and also to the New Fourth Army, which was characterized as a 'rebel' by the chairman?"

Chen Lai's voice was a little loud, which made Sun Yumin a little surprised, in his impression, although this Nizi is young, but she is very experienced in doing things, how can she be so hasty today, you must know that although the people in the military department of the Twelfth Army have been selected, this kind of thing obviously cannot be said out loud like this.

"Do you really want to know?" Sun Yumin opened his eyes, and he knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, this girl would definitely not give up.

"Of course, if you don't want me to worry and be afraid, just tell me one by one."

"Okay, I'll tell you why!" Sun Yumin sat up straight, and his gaze began to deepen. "You just said that the New Fourth Army is a rebel army, and the high-level people of the Nationalist Government and the National Army are saying that the New Fourth Army is a rebel army, but are they actually rebels? No! I can tell you responsibly, don't listen to those rumors outside, the New Fourth Army is not only not a rebel army, but a real anti-Japanese armed force. ”

"Actually, you should know this, the New Fourth Army fought devils with me, and it was the New Fourth Army that led you to come to find me in the Yangshupu battle, and it was the New Fourth Army that supported Wen Zhi and the Second Regiment. If they are rebels, then they will help regardless of the gains and losses, and the aid is still a force with the establishment of the national army. ”

"The time of dealing with the Communist CD people can be moved forward to many years ago, when I was young, I was injured and comatose on the side of a road because of revenge, and the one who saved me was a Communist CD man in the Northwest Army, and I saw many different things from him. Soon after I recovered from my wounds, the man who saved me was killed, and he did not fall on the battlefield, but at the hands of the so-called 'own people', and the reason for killing him was simply because he was a member of the Communist Party! ”

"Later, when I came into contact with the Communists, it was when I was holding Nanjing, and my partner and one of the battalion commanders who fought the most under me were all Communists." When he said this, Sun Yumin's words paused, just when he said this, his voice trembled slightly, Zhou Hong and Zhou Hainan are an eternal pain in his heart, if the two of them can survive, it will be a beautiful thing. Perhaps because he realized that the timing of his pause was wrong, he asked Chen Lai: "Is Wenzhi powerful in war?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Lai nodded obediently, although she hadn't seen how Liu Wenzhi fought with her own eyes, but she could defeat a wing of devils with the strength of two regiments that were not compiled, how could she do it without any real materials.

"Guanghuamen fought too hard, this kind of suffering is something you can't imagine at all, I was seriously injured at that time, and they all died, if it weren't for them, most of these people around me now will not be seen by you, including Zhang Xiaohu, who is now a major general and division commander."

"So, you're repaying the favor?" Chen Lai didn't seem to understand the reason why Sun Yumin did this, and when she asked this sentence, there was still a lot of incomprehension in her tone.

"Repay the favor? Even if I had this idea, they might not accept it. Xiao Lai, you can try to contact these people, they are not the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods in the eyes of some people at all, and they are far from the cancer of the national government in the mouths of some people! On the contrary, they are true heroes who are dedicated to the country and the people and to the war of resistance. Admittedly, there may be some pests among them, but they are a very small minority, and these pests are negligible compared to so many good people. ”

"I'll tell you a true story." Sun Yumin's mind raised the image of Captain Yang, and also the image of Uncle Gen, whom he had never met. "When I was the commander of the 20th Division, I led my troops to be stationed in Heze, and fought several big battles with the Japanese army in Shandong, which was originally a great victory for the army, but some people couldn't see the 20th Division in the limelight, and insisted on fighting for these achievements, but there was no way but to respect the military order and lead the troops back to the original station. But soon, the devils who suffered losses in the hands of the 20th Division counterattacked back, and the several cities I captured before were not only lost, but even about to endanger the border of Luyu and Henan, and as a last resort, I took the 20th Division to meet the devils, but the devils who came this time were too different from the devils who defended the city before, especially their artillery, which was simply our nightmare. If you don't destroy these devils' cannons, if you want to win this war, it's really too difficult and too difficult. At this time, your sister contacted two guerrilla units in two nearby counties, and then sent Zhang Quan with a company to search for the devil's artillery position with them. ”

"The captain of these two guerrillas, one is a little girl as big as you, everyone calls her Captain Yang, and the captain of the other guerrilla team is named Uncle Gen. They are just ordinary two people among the thousands of CD members, but they are the ones who have done something that makes Zhang Quan jaw-dropping. Uncle Gen led some guerrillas into the coal mine tunnel below the artillery position, and used their lives to blow up the mine and destroy the artillery position that had taken the lives of countless soldiers. ”

"Xiao Lai, do you say that such an army, such a soldier will be a rebel? Maybe you will say that Zhang Quan will also blow up this artillery position, yes, he will blow it up, but you should know that he is also a communist. ”

"Even if you say I'm repaying the favor, even if you say I'm crazy, even if it's a big risk, I will still send this batch of weapons and equipment over without hesitation. The reason is very simple, they are the real anti-Japanese people, and they are the backbone of the national war of resistance. ”

Sun Yumin said so much in one breath, regardless of whether Chen Lai listened to it or not, he was a little excited anyway. In fact, he didn't need to explain so much to Chen Lai, but somehow, he still revealed his heart, maybe since Liu Wenzhi, he hadn't said what was in his heart to anyone for a long time.

"Brother-in-law, will you go over there?"

Sun Yumin was still calming down, but he heard Chen Lai's words in his ears. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at the little girl in front of him.

Maybe it was Sun Yumin's story that moved her, or maybe it was Sun Yumin's words that moved her, and this beautiful little girl was also a little excited.

Her blown-up white face was flushed, her big mischievous eyes were full of sparkle at the moment, and her cherry mouth was trembling slightly, like a little pitiful worm waiting for his answer.

"I think I will!"

Sun Yumin stared at her for several seconds, and then slowly said these five words in his mouth. He didn't give Chen Yun or Lu Man this answer, but when facing Chen Lai, he said it by surprise. These five words are not simply said, the responsibility it bears can be said to be higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, to achieve these five safety, the efforts to be made will be a thousand hardships and difficulties. For Sun Yumin, although he had already decided to take his brothers on this road, this was the first time he had said this to others so firmly, and he was also a little girl with a military identity, what happened to him? Sun Yumin asked himself self-deprecatingly, but then he was relieved, because he heard the girl's response: "I will go wherever you go, and I will die with you." With these words, the little girl who made Sun Yumin almost defenseless threw her whole self into his arms.

"Smack"

There was a sound of breaking the bowl outside the door, Sun Yumin hurriedly pushed away Chen Lai in his arms, but heard the voice of the little girl reprimanding Chu Jiu: "Why are you so unbehaved, my aunt feeds you, even if you don't eat, you still break the bowl, believe it or not, I beat you!" ”

Hearing the little girl's angry words, Sun Yumin and Chen Lai looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged each other tightly.
