Chapter 33: The Wedding Story

On the edge of the Wuhou Temple in the provincial capital, in the garrison of the 163rd Division, the lanterns are colorful, and the party is full of joy. The original training venue was decorated with various colored lights, and the rostrum was also set up. Even the camp gate was posted with the word "happy" in big red.

The soldiers were all standing neatly on the training ground, their faces full of cheerful smiles. The broadsword guards stood on either side of the rostrum, all carrying broadswords and submachine guns in both hands. Although the posture looked serious, it still couldn't hide the happiness on his face.

A cannon salute rang out, salutes flew all over the sky, and a young host ascended the rostrum. The host said: "Today is a good day, the sky over the provincial city is still sprinkled with soft sunshine, and your face is also filled with the fragrance of happiness, we are gathered together today, our couple will be married from now on, and then they will go to the front line of resistance against Japan with you, and drive the Japanese devils out of China with knives and guns in their hands." ”

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience applauded. After the applause stopped, the moderator continued, "Now we have Venerable Xinyi invited Venerable Xinyi to sit on the podium."

Master Xinyi couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and walked up to the rostrum quickly and sat in the middle of the seat. Master Xinyi represents the family elders of Xiao Yikou and Liu Yefei.

The host continued: "The bride and groom are invited."

Outside the venue, Xiao Yikou was wearing a brand-new Zhongshan suit, which looked very magnificent. Xiao Yikou changed his hand into Liu Yefei, who was wearing a red dress and a red turban, and walked towards the rostrum.

The soldiers all looked at the two newcomers with envy, and they all clapped their hands in unison, and the applause was thunderous. While the bride and groom were walking, the broadsword guards on both sides of the rostrum held submachine guns and fired into the sky. The submachine guns rang out in unison, making a clattering sound.

The gunfire did not stop until the two men walked up to the podium.

The host faced the two and asked, "Groom, are you sincerely willing to marry Miss Liu Yefei as your wife?" Xiao Yikou replied: "I am sincerely willing to marry Miss Liu Yefei as my wife."

The host asked Liu Yefei: "May I ask the bride, are you willing to marry the groom no matter the disease, disaster or poverty?" ”

Liu Yefei replied shyly: "I do." ”

The host said: "The bride and groom exchange tokens".

Xiao Yikou was not prepared, he didn't know what to give to Liu Yefei for a while, in a hurry, he took a pen from the host, opened the pen, pulled Liu Yefei's left hand with his left hand, and wrote a few pen words on Liu Yefei's left wrist with his right hand: "Love you all my life."

When Liu Yefei saw Xiao Yikou's writing, he immediately burst into tears. Liu Yefei took out the hairpin on his head and gave it to Xiao Yikou as a token. Xiao Yikou put away Liu Yefei's hairpin.

The host shouted: "The bride and groom worship heaven and earth".

Xiao Yikou and Liu Yefei worshiped heaven and earth together, and then worshiped the high hall for the second time. The two of them turned to face Master Xinyi and knelt down to bow. When the host shouted to the husband and wife to bow to each other, the two stood up and bowed face to face.

Then the host shouted: "Now we have invited our General Deng Rulong to be a witness."

Deng Rulong walked up to the rostrum with a steady military step, waving his hand at his soldiers and smiling. The host said, "I would like to invite General Deng to speak."

Deng Rulong stood in front of the fixed circular microphone, faced the thousands of soldiers in the audience, and shouted: "Soldiers, we are here today to witness a couple of newcomers, this is a very decent thing, but also a very beautiful thing, let us bless them together, wish the couple a hundred years together, grow old together, and live a happy life." Let us say loudly together: Xiao Yikou and Liu Yefei are already a legal husband and wife, no matter what diseases, hardships, poverty and disasters in the future, we must face them together, support each other, and grow old together."

Deng Rulong said it again, and the soldiers below also said it.

Deng Rulong waved his hand, signaled that there would be no more sound below, and said: "A couple of newcomers tie the knot and become a good couple, these are the two happy events in life we yearn for. However, such a happy event for our people has been crushed by the iron hooves of the Japanese devils out of thin air, and the Japanese devils have been crushed by the Japanese devils in just half a month, like a rolling flood, almost crushing most of my China, and now, the three northeastern provinces have been lost, and the province of Rehe has been lost, and our country is in a stormy and crumbling. After the Lugou Bridge Incident in Beiping, Japan arrogantly clamored to set foot in China for three months, we are all men who stand up to the sky, we are all heroes who are not afraid of death for the country, and we want to drive the Japanese devils out of China. ”

The soldiers on the field shouted indignantly, "Yes."

"Drive the Japanese devils out of China".

"Return my rivers and mountains, and fight to the end".

Deng Rulong said: "Okay, this is our good son, we would rather die standing than kneel to live, just now, Shangfeng sent a telegram, the Japanese devils have started from Rehe to advance rapidly to the south, our troops desperately resisted, Shangfeng ordered us to immediately rush to the front line to respond, by the way to block the devil's southward advance speed, this is our opportunity to kill the enemy, soldiers, our body belongs to this country, our heart is hot, our blood is boiling, our blood is roaring, Let us take the submachine gun in their hands and go to the front line with me, killing one devil is enough, killing two devils and we will earn, as long as we have the determination to die, we will definitely drive the Japanese devils out of China, and our parents, our brothers and sisters, and our children will not be bullied and insulted in the future. Soldiers, our troops are about to be deployed, and there are only three hours left for you to load the guns and bullets in your hands, and polish and sharpen the broadswords in your hands."

Deng Rulong continued: "Our troops are urgently mobilized, so our pair of newcomers can't spend candles and nights, they also have to follow us to the front line to kill the enemy, for the sake of the country, our personal interests have long been left behind, how can we have our personal peace and security without the country?" Soldiers, sacrifice themselves to achieve China; Expel the Japanese and fight to the end".

The soldiers in the audience shouted: "Sacrifice yourself to achieve China; Expel the Japanese and fight to the end".

Deng Rulong said loudly: "Soldiers, we are ready to pull out immediately, the coal in the boiler of the locomotive is already burning very strongly, the raging fire has made the train full of power, the train is waiting for us to get on the train, it can't wait, he is looking forward to us killing the enemy as soon as possible, and driving the Japanese devils out of China as soon as possible." ”

The soldiers shouted the slogan of "sacrifice themselves, achieve China, drive out the Japanese invaders, and fight to the end" and returned to the barracks, all preparing equipment for departure.

Xiao Yikou and Liu Yefei didn't care about the candle night in the cave room at this time, and they each prepared the equipment for departure. Liu Yefei followed the medical team to the front line with the 163rd Division.

The joy of just getting married has not yet dissipated, and the two are going to gather and separate, although they are a little reluctant, but for the sake of this country, what is the personal sacrifice?

Soon, the soldiers lined up with marching bags and rifles and entered the train. The train whistled screeching, burning coal and emitting the strongest power, whistling away from the provincial railway station.
