Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Friendship of Soldiers
Looking at the two bottles of Lao Fen wine on the table, as well as a few plates of appetizers cooked by the cooking class, this is the food that Liu Jiaren used to entertain Zhao Tiehu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor such hospitality, Zhao Tiehu also felt very satisfied.
Even if the two of them sit together and drink and fight, it feels a little out of place. But for the officers and men of the independent battalion, they know what kind of temper their battalion commander is, and it is not difficult to understand that they would make such a move.
Maybe it's because heroes cherish heroes, or maybe both of them want to make friends with each other, and in the end, there are only two people at this table. The rest of those who accompanied Zhao Tiehu as guests in the independent camp were entertained with good wine and meat.
It can be said that Liu Jiaren's attitude really surprised Zhao Tiehu!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink and chat, Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said: "Lao Liu, I have seen an officer of the National * Army, there are really few people like you. Invite me to visit your station, don't say it, it's good to have wine and meat to entertain you, aren't you afraid that someone will gossip about you? ”
In the face of Zhao Tiehu's joke, Liu Jiaren also smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are also the first time in my old Liu Ping's life that you personally invited the Eighth Road to be entertained with good wine and meat at the station." This is my territory, I can do what I like, and others really can't control it.
On the contrary, you dare to come here with me, and dare to drink wine and eat meat at the same table with me. Aren't you afraid that after you go back, the people above you will have opinions about you? At least I know that your people are still wary of us! ”
'Each other! There is no nonsense in front of real people, although we are now allies. But what the situation is in private, I guess you and I know it. But you, Lao Liu, are also the first time in my life that I am willing to drink together.
I think that when I was in the southern Jiangxi Soviet area, as long as I saw someone wearing your military uniform, I couldn't wait to eat it alive. It's just that no one expected that in the blink of an eye, our two armies would become so-called friendly forces.
When I was fighting Xinguan Town, I also heard the scouts say that you tried to sneak attack Xinguan before, but in the end you didn't succeed. In my opinion, this kind of move is really rare. I'm willing to make friends with real men who really want to beat little devils.
As for the gossip, it has nothing to do with me either. Lao Tzu didn't want to be promoted and get rich, he just wanted to kill a few more little devils. Speaking of which, I've almost met Hades a few times, and I should be content to live until now.
The most important thing is what those people above think, I don't want to pay attention to it. The worst thing is that I am the captain of the brigade, and I will kill the little devil as a big soldier. What's more, you helped me this time, and it is only natural to have a drink with you. ’
Listening to Zhao Tiehu's outspoken words, Liu Jiaren was also surprised and said: "You became a soldier when you were in southern Gansu?" Then you must have participated in the Long March, right? Then why are you still just a guerrilla captain? Someone doesn't want to see you? ”
'Don't think about it! I mixed well in the Eighth Route Army, and the people above and the soldiers below were actually good to me. As early as two months ago, I was just a guy in charge of the cooking class, and I was still a problem soldier who went crazy at every turn.
When the Long March entered northern Shaanxi, he was injured by a shell and his brain was injured, and he fell into a fever with a headache and went crazy. After being forced to jump off a cliff by a gang of bandits last time, he picked up a life without dying, and the illness he fell from was much better.
After recovering from my wounds, I killed all the bandits who had robbed me of my food. Later, he won several battles, but he didn't like to be managed, and finally chose to pull the team and work alone, so he took on the errand of the current guerrilla brigade leader. ’
briefly explained his background and background, also to increase his qualifications. Even if Liu Jiaren's age is higher than his own, if you really want to talk about military age, it is estimated that Zhao Tiehu is more senior than Liu Jiaren.
As Zhao Tiehu introduced himself, Liu Jiaren said with a smile: "You, the guerrilla captain, seem to really smell like me." Rather than staying in the rear and being an official, I prefer to stay on the front line and fight devils.
Speaking of which, I really don't have anything else to think about your Eighth Route Army. If you really want to talk about it, I'm actually similar to you, and I only put on this military uniform later. The military uniform I wore in my early years was a little different from this.
I was a soldier in the 17th Route Army in my early years, and I changed into this uniform after the reorganization of the army. Even if the little devils have killed a lot over the years, Lao Tzu is still a battalion commander, and he is not treated well by the officials above.
Compared with other troops here, my independent battalion can have these belongings now, and they are all fought out with a knife and a gun. Every time supplies were distributed from above, my separate battalion was always the least in the whole regiment.
But now, in terms of the number of troops and weapons and equipment, my independent battalion is not inferior to other troops. Even if some people above are unhappy, this independent battalion will obey me. Here, Lao Tzu's words are more effective than those officials. ”
'You're a subordinate of General Hucheng?' ’
After listening to Liu Jiaren's introduction, Zhao Tiehu also knew that the 17th Route Army was the troops of Yang Hucheng, the northwest general who instigated the Xi'an Incident with Zhang Shaoshuai. Speaking of which, the relationship between this unit and the Red Army is really good.
Even later, many of the people in this army joined the Eighth Route Army. And some of the troops who joined the camp of the national * army have mostly become a ragtag army that grandma does not love and uncle does not love, and many troops are finally disabled or even completely wiped out.
Speaking of which, the Northwest Army was also a strong fighting force in the early years of warlord melee. Most of the veterans who have survived to the present day have soaked in the sea of blood, and they are fierce and desperate in battle.
'Yes! In the early years in the 17th Route Army, although life was a little harder, at least he lived happily. Although Lao Tzu has been fighting desperately to kill the enemy these years, this battalion commander has been in office for almost three and a half years. If it weren't for this team, it is estimated that Lao Tzu, the battalion commander, would have been withdrawn long ago! ’
Maybe thinking of something sad, Liu Jiaren also complained a lot in his heart. If he hadn't been born in the Northwest Army, with his military exploits over the years, it would be no problem to be promoted to a regiment commander and brigade commander.
Just because he was born in the Northwest Army, some of the senior officers above who were born in the lineage of the national army did not want to give him greater command. Every time he thinks of this, Liu Jiaren is also quite sad in his heart, and he has a sour feeling of being ignored.
As a result, after Liu Jiaren finished saying these words, Zhao Tiehu was silent for a while before saying: "Brother Jiaren, you can tell your brother this, and my brother is also very grateful." It's just that this kind of thing, don't say it casually in the future, it will be bad if it is spread out.
We are soldiers, and since we wear this military uniform, we have to fulfill our duties as soldiers. If we do our duty, then we will have a clear conscience when we live. At least I believe that gold will shine sooner or later.
Right now, you are the national * army, and I am an Eighth Route Army, and there are some taboos in intersecting. For me, there was basically no one in the team who would say anything. After all, they all know what kind of person I am.
But the problem is that you are now the commander of a battalion, and you still have so many brothers who carry guns and die with you. If something really happens to you, what will happen to these brothers who live and die with you? ”
It is clear that the military command agents of the national * army are very strong in infiltrating the army, who knows if there are military command agents in this independent battalion? If Liu Jiaren's words were listened to, it was estimated that someone above would definitely not be able to sit still.
After all, in the years of the War of Resistance behind enemy lines, it was not without the fact that the national * army was rebelled by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, Liu Jiaren was born in the 17th Route Army, which will cause people to misunderstand congenitally. If that's the case, Liu Jiaren is afraid that his life will be in danger.
Looking at Zhao Tiehu, who had a serious and sincere expression, Liu Jiaren, who was about to say those feelings, originally felt that something was wrong. But after listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, he said with a smile: "Brother Tiehu is a sincere person, for this, let's have another drink!" ”
In fact, if you were Zhao Tiehu in the past, maybe you don't have much of a good impression of these people from other military factions. But the problem is that the current Zhao Tiehu is a traverser, and these older generation of anti-Japanese soldiers are all admirable revolutionary martyrs.
Regardless of who has more or less achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan, these soldiers alone fought bloody battles for the country's freedom and independence, and they deserve his respect. If he had a choice, Zhao Tiehu didn't want to label these anti-war soldiers with a certain label.
If he could, Zhao Tiehu would prefer to refer to them collectively as 'loyal soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the people'. And Liu Jiaren in front of him is undoubtedly an officer who sincerely resists the war and fights devils in the combat sequence of the national * army.
The prelude to the arduous eight-year War of Resistance has just begun, and there are still countless bloody battles waiting for the soldiers of the War of Resistance with the blood of serving the country in their hearts. If he can, Zhao Tiehu hopes that soldiers like Liu Jiaren can live until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
After drinking two bottles of Fenjiu, Zhao Tiehu, who looked at the sky, said: "Brother Liu, it's not early, I still need to go to the battalion headquarters of the third battalion to deal with some things." Today, let's drink it here!
In terms of age, you are older than me, and in terms of military age, I am older than you. Before leaving, the elder brother has a heartfelt sentence and asks the elder brother to remember. Don't complain about the injustice of the world, this world is chaotic enough, what we have to do is live.
Only by being alive can we have hope, and only by being alive can we look forward to a new life in the future. There will be a chance in the future, and the elder brother also hopes that there will be a chance to fight side by side with the elder brother to kill the devil. As long as you have a clear conscience, let's not think about other things. ”
Such a farewell remark moved Liu Jiaren's heart a little. Even if the two haven't known each other for a long time, after a drink and heartfelt complaints, Liu Jiaren really regards Zhao Tiehu as a deep friend.
Perhaps the friendship between soldiers can sometimes be established with just a meal, a drink, and a few words!
