Chapter 465: The Way Home
Sun Yumin not only disbanded the military department, but also took Deng Dongping and Li Tietang to follow the new thirty-four to act together, which frightened Dai Cunxiang.
His new 34th Division, together with Dong Wenbin's brigade, will become the vanguard of the whole army's counteroffensive, and it can be expected that a series of bloody battles are waiting. Although he said that he had the self-confidence to be invincible, but after all, this is a war, and it is a very dangerous thing, if the boss comes down to the troops, not to mention the pressure on his command, he has to worry about their personal safety at all times, which is undoubtedly not another great burden on himself.
"Junza, I don't agree!" Of course, Dai Cunxiang would not be stupid enough to find a "big trouble" for himself, so he directly objected: "You and Chief of Staff Deng and Division Commander Li will sit in the 81st Division to follow up, and you will also take the guard regiment with you, and the troops on my and Wen Bin's side are enough for the time being." ”
"Don't you like that we're not even as good as a small soldier now?" Sun Yumin deliberately ridiculed, no matter whether Dai Cunxiang objected or not, he was ready to go to the new 34th Division.
"Don't embarrass me, Junza! There are no eyes on the battlefield, if you accidentally hurt any of you, how will you raise your head in front of your brothers in the future. Dai Cunxiang's expression was ugly, as if he was about to cry, he knew very well that if he couldn't dispel the idea of the boss now, he was afraid that he would go back with his front foot, and they would come over on his heels.
"You don't have to worry about this, we have a guard regiment for security, you just need to fight your battle."
"That's not good, you are the commander of an army, responsible for commanding the whole army, how can you go to the front line in person like a battalion and company commander." Dai Cunxiang's attitude was very resolute.
"Okay, well, we won't go to your new 34th Division." Dai Cunxiang's temperament Sun Yumin knows very well, and what he insists on, even if he puts a knife on his neck, may not give in. Instead of fighting him, it is better to change the target: "Wenbin, I haven't sat in your tank car yet, Cunxiang doesn't welcome me, you won't and don't want to!" ”
Dong Wenbin was still watching Dai Cunxiang's jokes, but he didn't expect that the boss would turn the target to himself all of a sudden, which caught him off guard, and he forgot to refuse for a while.
"Okay, since Wen Bin has no opinion, then it's decided." Sun Yumin's second sentence came quickly, leaving no room for Dong Wenbin to speak, and then he said to a room of staff officers who had not yet come out of the shock of disbanding the military department: "You hurry up and clean up the military headquarters, destroy what should be destroyed, and seal what should be retained, complete it in the morning, and all go down to the combat units in the afternoon, and as for their respective whereabouts, they will be arranged by the chief of staff." ”
Dong Wenbin stood stupidly in place, and didn't come back to his senses until Dai Cunxiang patted him on the shoulder twice.
"Wen Bin, you must take care of the bosses and them."
Dai Cunxiang's half-serious and half-teasing words made Dong Wenbin, who was already in a bad mood, even more depressed, he grabbed Dai Cunxiang and asked resentfully: "Originally, the boss was going to you, but now it's good, it's mine, are you cheating me?" ”
He was brought by Dai Cunxiang, and he didn't think about this bubble, but he didn't stand the temptation and agitation of Dai Cunxiang's words, and accompanied him to "ask for battle". It's good now, Dai Cunxiang has achieved his goal, but he has put himself in a dilemma, which makes him not annoyed.
"You're stupid, I'm an all-infantry, it's not a joke for the boss to go to me, and you have so many tanks and fought so many battles, what the hell do you have to do with your tank?" Dai Cunxiang "quibbled", but his words still made sense, at least, tanks were much safer than infantry.
"There was no way before, it doesn't mean that there is no way now, no matter how you say it, it's still a war, it's going to be on the battlefield, you are obviously cheating me ......"
"Who cheated you?"
Dong Wenbin was angry, and his voice was a little loud, so that Sun Yumin, who was discussing with Deng Dongping, also heard it, and interjected to ask them.
"No, no cheating, Wen Bin and I are discussing how to arrange you and the chief of staff." Dai Cunxiang was playing haha while pulling Dong Wenbin out of the house.
"Don't pull me,, I finally saw it today, and you're a scheming." Dong Wenbin was angry, although he was pulled by Dai Cunxiang, but he was still scolding in his mouth, of course, he was not really blaming Dai Cunxiang, compared to letting the boss go to the new 34th Division, it was really better to be safe on his side.
The style of the 12th Army was deeply influenced by Sun Yumin, even if it was a military department, it was like a combat unit, vigorous and resolute, and the action was extremely fast, and the order given by Sun Yumin in the morning had already been cleaned up at noon, and except for Tang Chunhong's radio station, which was a difficult problem, the rest of the people could set off at any time.
After Dong Wenbin "blackmailed" Dai Cunxiang for a meal, he "reluctantly" agreed to accept the boss and the stupid bear to go to his request.
They are all their own brothers, Dong Wenbin pretended to be angry, Dai Cunxiang accompanied him to comfort him with acting, and then took Sun Yumin and the little girl to their station hidden in the mountains.
The little girl is very excited, because she has been busy with the first nine, she has only seen the tank car from afar, and has never sat on it, and now she is dressed in military uniform and has drilled into the cabin of the tank car with great vigour, and feels extremely fresh about everything inside.
Lin Yuanping did not accompany them to "mess around", he kept following behind Sun Yumin, and most of the soldiers of the guard regiment were sent by the boss to supplement the new 34th Division, leaving only one battalion, so although he was the regiment commander, he was actually doing the work of a guard battalion commander or guard company commander.
"Yuan Ping, how many years have you been with me?" Sun Yumin, who was walking around the Dong Wenbin armored brigade with Deng Dongping, suddenly asked this question.
"It's been more than five years, almost six years, Military." Lin Yuanping took two steps forward, walked behind Sun Yumin, and answered his words.
"Time flies!" Sun Yumin sighed thoughtlessly.
"yes, I've been following you for almost six years." Deng Dongping and Lin Yuanping were both on the way to escape from Nanjing, following Sun Yumin, but there is one difference, Deng Dongping is a hero who defends Nanjing, while Lin Yuanping is a devil's baggage soldier.
"Have you ever thought about your family?" Sun Yumin has never asked Lin Yuanping like this, in fact, Sun Yumin is already enough for this Taiwanese devil soldier, not only did he not care about his previous identity, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so to speak, he entrusted his life and safety to this "defector" with the identity of a devil.
"I used to think about it, but I ......" Lin Yuanping didn't finish all his words, not that he didn't want to show his heart to Sun Yumin, but every time he mentioned his identity, he would remember the scene in the battle against Jining City in the 20th Division: two Japanese soldiers of the same age as him, after being wounded by Dai Cunxiang's machine gun, rolled on the ground in pain and wailed and called for his mother. At that time, he wanted to save them, but he didn't expect that the besieged captain of the Dazuo Wing shot them in front of him. This also annoyed him, completely forgetting that he was half Japanese, and killed the captain of the Daisa.
Since then, Lin Yuanping has never thought about his bloodline, and he no longer wants to think about his family in Japan, although sometimes he suddenly remembers these things, but he never shows them in front of people, until today, the boss's sudden inquiry suddenly aroused his thoughts.
"Yuan Ping, if the war is about to end, do you have any plans?"
"The war is over? Is the war coming to an end! ”
If Sun Yumin's first question can still be answered, then Lin Yuanping really hasn't even thought about this question.
Lin Yuanping believes that among these people around Sun Yumin, not only him, but probably all of them have not thought about this problem.
Will the war end soon? From the current situation, there is no sign of this at all.
But these words came out of the boss's mouth, and Lin Yuanping couldn't help but believe it, many examples and battles made it clear to all the brothers, including him, that what the boss said would basically become reality.
If the war is over, where do you go from here? Looking for family back home? Is this still possible? His hands were stained with so much Japanese blood, and he also killed a captain of the Dazuo Wing with his own hands, and captured the only wing flag of the Japanese army that was lost on the battlefield, which was a greater shame for the Japanese army whose honor was supreme than the total annihilation of them. Although no one may know that they did it, can they overcome this hurdle in their hearts? Staying in China? This should be the safest result, with the boss, with the brothers, and Xiao Yuying, his life here will be very good, but if he chooses to stay, then his parents who are far away in Japan, as well as his most beloved sister, I am afraid that they will never see each other again in this life.
Lin Yuanping was stunned for a while, and actually forgot to continue to follow, until Sun Yumin, who had walked far away, called out his name, which interrupted his thoughts.
"Have you figured it out?" Before he got closer, Sun Yumin asked again.
Lin Yuanping shook his head and didn't say anything.
Sun Yumin smiled slightly, didn't continue to ask, turned around and walked forward with Deng Dongping.
It was already mid-July 1944, and it was only one year before the Japanese emperor broadcast to the whole of Japan on August 15, 1945, accepting the Potsdam Proclamation and implementing the unconditional surrender.
I am determined to take the 12th Army to Yan'an, but what about Lin Yuanping, who has Japanese blood and the identity of a devil? It's impossible to bring him with you! Although Taizu and Zhou Gong would not care too much about this, but once the toiling masses and people who were deeply poisoned by devils learned about his past, Sun Yumin really didn't dare to think about it, which was also the biggest factor for him to ask this question today.
When Lin Yuanping was thinking about it, Sun Yumin also thought about the way back for him, and after thinking about it, he felt that only letting him return to Japan and return to his family was the most responsible resettlement for him, but to achieve this goal, it was no less difficult than winning a war.
Although it was difficult, Sun Yumin still decided to try, if not for anything else, just because Lin Yuanping had been loyally following him in the past few years, just because he was also his brother, and he had the obligation to settle every brother who followed him.
"Junza, do you already have a way to settle Yuan Ping?" Deng Dongping glanced back, and saw that Lin Yuanping was stunned again, so he asked in a low voice.
"There is no way, but there is an idea." Sun Yumin sighed and responded.
"If you want me to say, it is most appropriate for Yuan Ping to follow you, no matter what happens in the future, with you to protect him, it will not be impossible for him to survive in China."
What Deng Dongping said is very true, if the war is about to end as Sun Yumin said, and the Japanese are driven out, then Lin Yuanping, who once had the identity of a devil and has the blood of a devil, can only continue to follow his side.
"No! He can't stay, let alone stay with me. Sun Yumin rejected Deng Dongping's proposal, he did not explain why, because the reason for it, he could not explain it clearly.
"And what do you think?"
"Send him back to Japan!" Sun Yumin stopped, glanced back at Lin Yuanping, who had caught up again, and then at Deng Dongping, paused slightly, and then said this sentence earnestly.
He ...... Can he still go back? This answer was completely unexpected by Deng Dongping, so much so that he stammered.
"Alas! I don't know, but I do know that this is his only way back. Sun Yumin sighed again, with a helpless expression on his face.
The sun was about to sink in the west, rendering the vast expanses of clouds blood-red, and the thatched grass on both sides of the road, though very lush, was no longer the spirit of the early morning, and hung wilted. There were no people toiling in the fields, only rows of neatly harvested crops, like soldiers waiting for a review. Only the faint sound of cannons in the distance can explain the fact that the fields are untillage, which is supposed to be a time of excellent cultivation.
At the end of the road, the little girl and the stupid bear chased and ran over, just like a few years ago, the little girl ran at a speed that the stupid bear could still catch up, if she wasn't a girl, she would definitely be a soldier like Zhou Shanjun.
"Brother, the iron egg bullied me!" The little girl looked back and shouted as she ran, even so, the stupid bear was still seven or eight meters away from her.
"I ...... I...... I ......" the stupid bear panted and chased, where could he still shout out of his mouth.
This situation finally made Sun Yumin smile heartily, and the scar on the left side of his face was much lighter, not as hideous and terrifying as when he had a straight face. His thoughts also returned here from Lin Yuanping's body, back to the little girl's body.
Chu Jiu and Chen Lai went to Chongqing, with Chen Lai and Chen Bui to take care of, they don't have to worry about themselves, but this sister who is not related by blood but is like a relative, where is her way back?
