Chapter 327: After the Great War
readx; "Goofy! Goofy! ”
"Commander-in-Chief Gao! Commander-in-Chief Gao! ”
An urgent call sounded in Taierzhuang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sporadic gunfire was still heard, but victory had arrived.
The soldiers were anxiously calling and searching.
"Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, has arrived!"
With this sound, all the officers and men straightened up together, and the "horn" stood upright.
Under the escort of the guards, Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, appeared in Taierzhuang, without any politeness, and asked bluntly: "What about Gao Fei?" Did you find Goofy? ”
Behind him, followed by Bai Chongxi and Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 31st Division.
"Report, the commander-in-chief seems to be at the small north gate." A soldier said loudly.
Li Zongren didn't say a word, and walked in the direction of the small north gate.
"Goofy! Goofy! ”
The call rang out again
Chi Fengcheng suddenly saw a familiar figure, and hurriedly shouted: "Ma Debi!" ”
"Master!" Ma Debi stood upright: "Commander-in-chief, division!" ”
"What about Goofy? See Goofy? ”
Ma Debi shook his head blankly: "The last time I saw the commander-in-chief, the last time the army fought hard, they all rushed in, we were all fighting on our own, the commander-in-chief and Lao Hei and the lock pillar were guarding a stronghold, and there was no news after that."
Xiaobeimen, 17 pm in the 27th year of the Republic of China.
Three [***] officers and soldiers came out of a makeshift bunker. Everyone had guns in their hands, rifles with bayonets, and the bullets were empty, but they were still firmly in their hands.
A gun is a soldier's life.
Then, two girls who were also wearing [***] uniforms also came out of the bunker, holding pistols in their hands. The bullets have long been empty, but even when they rush in front of them now, they will still swing their guns and smash them at him!
"Brother Fei, we, aren't we dead yet?" The pillar gasped for breath, as if he didn't believe he was still alive.
"You turtle son, do you want the old sons to die?" The old black boss was dissatisfied and scolded.
Gao Fei smiled, didn't say anything, looked behind him, and found that Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan were also looking at him.
It's over, the battle of Taierzhuang is over!
The sound of gunfire was no longer ringing in Taierzhuang, and Gao Fei knew that he had really succeeded.
At that last moment, the ammunition ran out of food, and Gao Fei really thought that he would die like this, but miracles always favor the bravest!
"Brother Fei, look!"
Looking in the direction of his finger, a large group of people were walking towards this side, and gradually walked in, Gao Fei saw clearly, the front was Li Zongren, and behind him was Bai Chongxi, Chi Fengcheng, a member of the Foreign Affairs Observation Group, and a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters
Li Zongren finally saw Gao Fei. Goofy didn't die, he really didn't die! This man is alive!
Gao Fei walked up step by step with his brothers, walked in front of Li Zongren, stood up, and then slowly raised his hand and saluted:
"Report, Deputy Brigade Commander of the 26th Brigade of the 76th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Commander of the 151st Regiment, and Commander-in-Chief of Taierzhuang Defending the City Gao Fei completed the task!"
"Good, Goofy, Good, Goofy!" Li Zongren looked extremely excited: "I knew you wouldn't die"
But halfway through the conversation, I couldn't go on.
Gao Fei in front of him, where does he still look like a young man in his twenties? His clothes were ragged and covered in blood. The bandages on his body were already stained with blood and dirt, and they couldn't distinguish their original color.
Behind him, whether it is Lao Hei, Suozhu, Jing Lianyu, or Fu Xiaogan, they are all like Gao Fei!
"Goofy, Goofy, Goofy!" Li Zongren turned over and over, and he could only say these two sentences. He didn't know what to say anything more to express his mood at the moment.
Victory, really victory, but behind such a victory, what a heavy price is Gao Fei and the brothers under his command ending!
From March 27, the Battle of Taierzhuang officially began, to April 7, [***] launched a large-scale counteroffensive and defeated the Yue army in one fell swoop, a full twelve days!
Gao Fei with meager troops, held on to Taierzhuang for twelve days!
Not only did the army not believe it, but even Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Chi Fengcheng, these [***] senior generals, couldn't believe that a shocking miracle was really born in Gao Fei's hands!
However, many of the [***] officers and soldiers who have been in Taierzhuang for 12 days have been sleeping on this land and will never wake up again
This is a victory condensed with the blood and lives of countless loyal and brave [***] officers and soldiers!
But neither the living nor the dead, there is not a single one of them who regrets it!
The spotlight flickered there, faithfully recording what the reporters saw.
Heroes, in front of them, are the heroes of the Chinese nation!
"Commander-in-Chief Gao, I am a reporter from the 'Central Daily'"
But as soon as the reporter's words came out, he was interrupted by Gao Fei: "I'm sorry, I really can't be interviewed right now, I, I want to sleep"
Everyone was stunned.
This young commander-in-chief, who led his subordinates to such a brilliant victory, after the victory came, all he asked was to sleep!
The road was let out, with the lock pillar, Lao Hei, Jing Lianyu, Fu Xiaogan, Gao Fei walked step by step from the generals and reporters.
Sleep, now Goofy, I just want to sleep beautifully, and I will never wake up again without regrets!
Behind them, Li Zongren raised his hand and gave the most standard military salute; Bai Chongxi raised his hand and gave the most standard military salute; All the officers raised their hands and gave the most standard military salute.
Salute, heroes!
"April 7, the 27th year of the Republic of China.
When Commander-in-Chief Gao appeared in front of us, everyone present was shocked. We have not experienced the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, but from the body of Commander Gao, we already know what happened in Taierzhuang.
Commander-in-Chief Gao was ragged, haggard, bearded, covered in blood, almost ten years older than his actual age.
For 12 days, I saw the members of the British or American observation mission murmuring and talking, and they did not believe that with such meager strength, with limited artillery fire and air support, this unit could withstand the attack of the Japanese army, which was several times its own and had absolutely superior firepower, for 12 days!
At that moment, I almost burst into tears.
For 12 days, Commander-in-Chief Gao was on the battlefield every day, every minute, and every second. Wherever the battle is most intense, Commander-in-Chief Gao will appear there. For twelve days, the young commander-in-chief barely got any rest.
When the victory came, we saw that he was relieved that he could sleep soundly on the blood-stained ground, if he allowed it."
This is an article published in the Central Daily.
And it is precisely this article that lets the people of the whole country know what happened in Taierzhuang in the past 12 days
One dream after another keeps appearing.
It seems that the bloody battle of Taierzhuang has not ended, and the crazy guns of the army are still ringing in Taierzhuang.
Goofy saw Lao Hei rush forward and fall under the machine gun of the Yue army; saw the lock pillar rush up and fell under the machine gun of the Yue army, and then saw Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan fall one by one. Then, countless Japanese soldiers surrounded him, and the shining bayonets were aimed at him
Goofy was a clever man and woke up. His hand reached to the side, but he didn't touch the gun he was familiar with.
The room was covered by thick curtains, and it was pitch black, making it impossible to tell what time it was.
Goofy found himself drenched in sweat, and sat in a daze for a moment before he remembered that the battle was over.
Rolled out of bed, opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight quickly shone into the room.
After adjusting his mood, he opened the door and walked out.
More intense sunlight shone on Gao Fei's body, warm, this is the spring sun.
"Hello Commander-in-Chief!"
"The commander-in-chief is awake, the commander-in-chief is awake!"
The guards who were on guard outside shouted excitedly when they saw Gao Fei coming out.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, Commander Li has already come to see you several times, and instructed us to report to the headquarters set up in the west of the city as soon as you wake up, and the car is ready for you."
Goofy nodded, straightened his uniform, and walked briskly towards the car
"Report, Goofy is ordered to report!"
This resounding answer alarmed everyone in the room.
Gao Fei was also taken aback, a room full of people, almost all those officers, observer groups, and reporters were there, hearing Gao Fei's voice, they all turned their eyes to Gao Fei.
Sitting next to Li Zongren were Suozhu, Lao Hei, Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan.
"Good fellow, I slept for eighteen hours. Look, look, it's much more energetic now! Li Zongren stood up with a smile, took Gao Fei's hand and sat down:
"You see, everyone is waiting for you, and they have been coming to me since seven o'clock in the morning, and they have said that they will not see you, and no one will leave."
Goofy smiled apologetically.
"As long as you can wait for Commander Gao and interview him in person, it doesn't matter if you wait." A reporter spoke, and then a chorus of agreed.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really tired." Goofy said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, you're a great hero, even if you wait a few more hours, it doesn't matter." Li Zongren waved his hand, and then said to the reporters:
"Okay, now that our army is chasing the remnants of the enemy, we won't set up another venue, our young hero is here, if you have anything to ask, just ask here!"
The "click, click" magnesium lamp kept flashing, and Gao Fei could barely open his eyes, and soon the reporter of the "Central Daily" who wanted to ask a question yesterday took the lead in asking:
"Commander-in-Chief Gao, we all agree that the bloody battle of Taierzhuang is simply an impossible miracle, how did you create this miracle?"
"I didn't create it," Goofy shook his head slowly:
"My brethren, my brethren, in fact, even I don't know how we survived. Every minute and every second we will die and never wake up again"
Gao Fei didn't answer a lot about this "miracle", but just a few simple words have already let everyone here know the solemnity and pain in it
After a moment of silence, a foreign reporter asked, in a Chinese dialect that he was not fluent in:
"Mr. Colonel, while you were asleep, we also interviewed many of your subordinates, and we learned from them that in this battle, you used many new tactics, such as wrapping iron sheets in trucks and using machine gun fire to fight against the armored vehicles of Yuben, how did you come up with this?"
"Forced."
Gao Fei's answer surprised everyone, and then saw Gao Fei smile bitterly and repeat his words:
"Forced, really forced out. If I had a tank, I would never do it this way, and I would also like to have my own strong armor to compete with myself face to face, but I don't. Even those trucks, I scraped them together."
Goofy was silent for a moment, and then said:
"At the beginning of the battle, the planes, artillery, and tanks of the Japanese army were raging wildly, and my soldiers almost used their own flesh and blood to block the enemy's attack. I don't remember at all how many brothers strapped themselves with grenades rushed to the tanks and pulled the explosives bags on their bodies
However, I clearly remember that there was a young soldier, what was his name? I do not know. How big? I don't know. Probably not more than eighteen years old. I remember a few words with him before the war.
When the army launched an attack at the north gate, there were about four armored vehicles, and the fire had been suppressing our position so hard that the brothers who had hit them could not return fire at all. At this time, I saw through the binoculars that the soldier was holding a bag of explosives and rolled out of the position directly, and then there was a loud bang, and there was nothing"
There was a dead silence, without a sound, and Goofy's whole person seemed to fall into a memory:
"This soldier gave his life for his country, do you know what he told me before the war? He said to me, 'Commander-in-chief, when this battle is over, will you give me a few days off?' I want to go back to Sichuan, my sister is getting married, just next month, I'm just such a sister, I want to go back and see. ’
I said, 'Okay, I'll approve your leave personally, how can a few days be enough?' Do you know how far this is from Sichuan? With your two feet alone, a month back and forth is not enough. In this way, if you can kill ten devils, Lao Tzu will approve you with two months of leave, how about it? ’
He happily agreed, he killed more than ten devils, but I could no longer fulfill my promise, and he could never go back to my sister's wedding. I was so self-conscious, really self-conscious, I even forgot to ask him what his name was, I didn't even know where he lived"
A low sobbing sounded, everyone's eyes were red, Li Zongren turned around and quietly wiped his eyes.
A reporter choked up and said, "Yes, you can go and ask his commander what his name is."
Gao Fei shook his head gloomily: "I can't ask, I can't ask, the squad, the platoon, the company, all the people and brothers he is in have already died."
The reporter opened his mouth, completely unaware of what he should say again.
In fact, in the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, too many people died in obscurity without leaving a name, just like the nameless young soldier Gao Fei said.
When our descendants came to pay their respects to these Taierzhuang many years later, they only knew that many years ago, there was an earth-shattering bloody battle here, and this was once the tomb where Yue himself was buried. But who of them can accurately name each martyr?
Most of them have become unsung heroes!
Unsung Heroes? Unsung Hero!
A tragic, but full of too many helpless titles.
After being silent there for a long time, a reporter threw a question to Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan:
"Ms. Jing, Ms. Fu, in the Battle of Taierzhuang, there are very few female surnames who directly participated in the battle, and I don't know at all, there will be no more than five. I heard that at the height of the battle, you also exchanged fire with the Japanese army. What I want to ask is that there is still a traditional belief in China that women should be married and raised at home, not like men who go to war with weapons, but you have done it. May I ask you, were you afraid when you were fighting with the Yue army? ”
Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan glanced at each other, and Jing Lianyu said slowly:
"Fear, fear to death, at least before the war, but when you actually go to war, it's completely different, those fears and fears will disappear without a trace when the first shots are fired. On several occasions, our lives were saved by the commander-in-chief. ”
Fu Xiaogan interface says:
"I've forgotten how many times the Commander-in-Chief saved us, but as long as he's by our side, we don't worry anymore. In fact, it is not only us, but many other people who are fighting like us. Among us, there were women, there were children, and even the deaf and dumb. The reason why we are here is entirely because of one person, Commander Gao! ”
When she said this, she forgot her shyness, and did not hide her admiration and admiration for Goofy, or more accurately, love.
The so-called hero is not so tall and omnipotent, the hero may be so inconspicuous usually, but when he is really needed, he will always appear where he should be!
