Wang Tingyue was eventually stripped of his rank of colonel, demoted to lieutenant, and became an idle staff officer. The reason for not giving a more severe punishment was that the testimony, Zhang Jinshan, had already been sentenced to justice, and there was no other circumstantial evidence to prove Wang Tingyue's guilt, so it was difficult for the military department to convict a colonel with a single confession.

If it weren't for Tan Zhenshan's joint efforts with the merchants of Linmeng, claiming that they would sue Chongqing, it is estimated that the punishment for Wang Tingyue would be even lighter than this. That's why I always say that everything is like this, it has never changed, and our military law has always been different from person to person, and I have expected such an outcome.

However, after this setback, I estimate that it will be difficult for Wang Tingyue to turn over again, this kind of crime is a heavy blow to him, the military department no longer trusts him, and he will no longer have the opportunity to make waves.

In fact, I don't have time to think about these personal grievances anymore. During this period, I was not only busy with military affairs, but also prepared for a counteroffensive against the West Bank. Housework also kept me busy, Tan Weimin and Ani held a simple and unique wedding at the urging of Tan Zhenshan and his wife.

When it comes to simplicity, it is not simple, because Tan Weimin has been in the UK for a long time, and his thinking is very influenced by the West, so he specially prepared a purely Western-style wedding for Ani.

According to what he said, this is also because Ani does not have any relatives at home, and a Western-style wedding is more suitable for Ani. In the only Christian church in Linmeng, Ani wore a wedding dress, Tan Weimin wore a suit, and walked into the wedding hall amid the singing of the choir.

As Ani's only relative, I assumed the role of his father, holding Ani from the church door to the excited Tan Weimin.

Ani said in a low voice: "Brother An, what kind of wedding is this, let's go together, it feels as if I am marrying you." ”

I said, "Don't talk nonsense, this seems to be what I meant by handing you over to Tan Weimin, anyway, I don't understand it very well, keep your smile and listen to the pastor for a while." ”

"Is the priest the foreign devil?" Ani said.

Walking up to Tan Weimin, I gently pushed Ani to Tan Weimin and said, "I'll hand Ani over to you, I hope you will treat her well in the future......"

Ani blurted out and said, "How dare he treat me unkindly......"

Tan Weimin coughed in disguise, and finally blocked the second half of the bride Ani's words, and the two of them walked to Pastor Yang to do the final blessing ceremony.

After only three days of their newlywed honeymoon, the couple took off their new clothes and returned to the first battalion in military uniforms. Because our counteroffensive has entered the final stage.

In the past few days, the 17th Pre-17th Division on the west bank has begun to prepare to take the lead in launching an attack on Tengxian. Several local guerrilla units were moving closer to the vicinity of the 17th Division, and they acted as scouts for the 17th Division, preparing to cooperate with the main force to attack the county seat.

Recently, Japanese reconnaissance planes on the west bank have also frequently crossed the Nu River to reconnoiter the movements of our troops on the east bank. It is impossible to cover up such a large-scale military deployment on the east coast, and besides, our army has never had a decent cover-up.

The current situation is like two people are ready for a duel, one is a giant with a big waist and a round waist, and he doesn't take the trap dug by his opponent under his feet at all, he feels that even if there is a trap, he will be flattened by himself.

The weather had been fine for nearly half a month, and not long after the military headquarters issued the battle plan, a light rain began to fall in the sky again. Although the rain was not heavy, it also turned the mountain road, which was finally hard and solid, into mud again.

"Why does it rain as soon as you want to attack? Is God having trouble with us? Ani stood at the lookout with a sniper rifle and looked at the West Bank, and the newlywed Ani looked heroic and colorful.

I held up my binoculars and looked at the almost invisible fortifications on the west bank and said, "It's not that God can't get along with us, it's that we can't get along with God." Now it is the rainy season, and the military headquarters must attack in this season, and nine times out of ten it will catch up with the rainy days. ”

Ani was puzzled and said, "Why does the military department have to attack now?" Can't you wait until the weather is fine to fight? ”

I said: "The Japanese troops stationed in India are fighting in Burma, and we are not moving here, and we don't look good on the upper peak." Strategically, we also need to cooperate with the troops stationed in India in the counteroffensive, and in the name of strategy, we will be able to win two birds with one stone. ”

Ani didn't understand, and I myself felt that what I said was messy, so I immediately changed the topic and said, "Ani, how does it feel to start a family?" ”

Ani thought for a moment and said, "Compared to before, there is one more home. It feels pretty good. ”

I put down my binoculars and said, "It's not bad, it's good." After the battle, live a good life and stay away from the gun. ”

Ani said: "Brother An, if you finish the battle, will you leave the army?" ”

I said, "Absolutely, I don't like war, and I'm not good at it." I like to start a small business and I'm happy to be able to support my family. ”

Tan Weimin walked in with a curtain and said to Ani: "Ani, when I was eating, I couldn't find you anywhere, where did you go?" ”

Ani said, "Where else can I go?" I'm eating here with Brother An, and you guys are too far away, so I won't go so far just to have a meal together. ”

Tan Weimin looked at his wife with a strange expression and said, "Your name is An ...... Battalion commander what? ”

Ani said, "Ann ......"

Ani suddenly realized that something was wrong, her and my identities had changed, the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and she turned to me and said, "Brother An, what can we call in the future, I feel so messy." ”

I said: "It's really a bit messy, in the army, you call me battalion commander, as for going home...... Feel free to do it. ”

Ani said to Tan Weimin: "I blame you, if I don't marry you, there won't be so many things." ”

My battalion headquarters had installed the telephone, and while we were talking, the phone rang, and I picked it up and said, "Hey, I'm a battalion." Okay, okay, I got it. ”

I shouted outside the door, "Herald! ”

The herald immediately pushed the door in and said, "Here." ”

"Pass my order, order all the troops of the first battalion, from now on, be ready to cross the river and fight at all times!" When I had finished my order, I went to look at the military map of the West Bank.

"Didn't you say that our regiment was a reserve? Why do you have to cross the river to fight again? Tan Weimin was very puzzled.

I looked back at the war-torn couple and said, "What, are you scared?" ”

Tan Weimin raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid?" I wasn't afraid before, but now I'm afraid? ”

I said, "It used to be before, and now it is now, and you say that you are afraid, and I can understand it." ”

Tan Weimin said: "That's what you're afraid of, I'm not afraid." ”

I said, "Yes, when I was alone, I was never afraid, but since I got married to Qin Rou, I feel that my mentality is different from before. I'm not afraid that I'm dead, I'm afraid I'm dead, what should Qin Rou do? What about my dad? What should I do if I wash my heart? Do you understand what I mean? ”

Ani said impatiently: "You two big men, a battalion commander and a company commander, say what you are afraid of death and life!" If you let the regiment commander know, you will definitely say what you call confusing the army's heart! ”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out outside.

Ani immediately grabbed the gun and rushed out, Tan Weimin followed closely and ran out, I picked up the binoculars and looked at the opposite bank, on the Japanese army's first defensive position, there were continuous sporadic shooting.

However, the direction of the Japanese shooting was not our position, but the jungle along the river beach, and the purpose of their blind shooting was to test whether there were any troops in the jungle who were preparing to surprise and cross the river.
