October 9, 1939.

Gentlemen, ladies and ladies who were dressed decently, and ordinary people who were not very decently dressed, had gathered here since early in the morning.

Whether they wore silk or satin or a short coat, these people had one thing in common, they all held two small flags in their hands.

On one side is the blue sky and the ground is red, and on the other side is the world-famous battle flag of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army:

Dead Word Flag!

The people are looking forward to it, and so are the journalists with cameras in their hands!

Today is a special day, Gao Fei, the supreme military commander of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, who represents the determination and enthusiasm of all the people in Sichuan, and those loyal and brave soldiers of the Sichuan Army are about to return!

In Dachang, Shanghai, the 26th Division fought the dignity of the Sichuan Army; In Jiangyin, the 26th Division played the backbone of the Sichuan Army; In Taierzhuang, the 26th Division played the prestige of the Sichuan army

This army, which was originally thought to be doing nothing, miraculously staged a miracle scene after scene!

It is not only one 26th Division that fights there, but this unit represents millions of Sichuan soldiers, thousands of Sichuan people, and the determination of 450,000 Chinese people to resist the war!

Several trucks drove up, and heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the trucks and quickly set the surrounding area on guard. The spies who were mixed in the crowd were also immediately engrossed, looking nervously around, and anyone who made the slightest suspicious move would be quickly subdued by these people.

Then, several cars drove up.

Chen Cheng, Chairman of Hubei Province, Commander of the Wuhan Garrison, Commander of the Sixth Theater, and Director of the Political Department of the Wuhan Central Political Axe Revolutionary Military Committee; Li Zongren, Chairman of the Anhui Provincial Political Axe and Commander of the Fifth Theater; Bai Chongxi, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Military Commission and Director of the Military Training Department; Mayor of Chongqing City, Zhang Dulun

One by one, the generals and high-ranking officials of the state government got out of the cars.

Everyone has only one purpose, Goofy is back! Goofy is back with those loyal soldiers!

10:10 a.m.

"Chairman of Fujian Province of the Republic of China, Commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations, General Gao Fei has arrived!"

With this sound, the crowd suddenly became quiet.

Those legendary generals have finally arrived!

A truck full of soldiers was the first to appear in everyone's sight, the truck stopped, and the soldiers wearing steel helmets with submachine guns jumped out of the truck first.

Then, a sedan with guards standing on both pedals drove slowly. The car stopped, and the guard jumped out first, looked around with wary eyes, and then opened the door.

Goofy slowly stepped out of the car.

A straight lieutenant general's uniform, shiny black leather shoes, wearing snow-white gloves, and a young and heroic face revealing confidence.

At this moment, the crowd, which was still extremely quiet, suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers!

"Welcome General Gao back to Yucheng!"

"Welcome the bloody soldiers of the front line back to their hometown!"

"Long live the 26th Division! Long live the Sichuan Army! Long live the War of Resistance! ”

"The Chinese nation is invincible in the war of resistance to the end!"

Crazy shouts came out of the mouths of these crazy people, and the two small flags in their hands waved desperately. At this moment, all of them are showing their enthusiasm and reverence!

The cheers almost drowned out everything, and the magnesium lights in the hands of the reporters were flickering wildly, faithfully recording everything that happened today

Gao Fei raised his right hand, saluted the military salute, looked at the people in front of him, and expressed his feelings to the people and expressed his feelings for the people in the rear, which also brought the people even more madness!

This is a rare scene in the history of Yucheng, a lieutenant general actually caused a city to go crazy!

The officers and officials who followed behind Gao Fei also received the same crazy applause and cheers as Gao Fei.

Cai Yuyan and Mike Rosen also felt great enthusiasm for the first time. Or maybe that's one of the reasons why Goofy and his brothers fought to the end without fear.

Gao Fei saw Chen Cheng, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi walking towards him, and hurriedly greeted him, one was upright, and then another standard military salute:

"Hello Commander Chen! Hello Commander Lee! Hello Commander White! ”

"Good, good!" Chen Cheng looked at his proud protégé and said loudly: "Gao Fei, now you are also the commander, the princes of one party, why are you still so polite!" ”

Gao Fei's answer was neat: "Gao Fei will never forget the kindness of the three commanders to Gao Fei!" ”

Li Zongren laughed "haha": "I haven't seen you for so many times, you Gao Fei has become slippery now!" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand, temporarily stopping the frantic crowd and making it quieter:

"Everyone, all fathers and fellow villagers! In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, it was said that Ben brazenly provoked a war, and my [***] soldiers fought a bloody war, and the Battle of Lihu broke out, which opened the national war of resistance! At this point, more than two years have passed, and millions of our soldiers have gone forward one after another to fight bloody battles, making the wild words of "destroying China in three months" a laughing stock, thanks to the loyal will of my [***] soldiers, Chairman Chiang's iron-blooded determination to resist the war, and the enthusiasm of the whole people to fight hard!

From Shanghai to Jiangyin, from Jiangyin to Nanjing, from Nanjing to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Wuhan. Our [***] soldiers fought hard, and although the casualties were huge, they also inflicted heavy casualties on the army!

At the beginning of the outbreak of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our Sichuan army swore to go out of Sichuan and rushed to the front line of the War of Resistance. Among them, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army was the first to rush to the battlefield!

In the first battle, the 26th Division fought bloodily for seven days and nights, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, only more than 700 people remained, the moon was weeping, and the mountains and rivers changed color! In the Battle of Nanjing, more than 100 officers and soldiers of the 26th Division fought in all corners of Nanjing City with the Yue Army, miraculously rescuing tens of thousands of people! In the Battle of Wuxi, the 26th Division, which had just been re-organized and formed, relied on a big blade to fight a bloody way out of the encirclement of the army! In the battle of Taierzhuang, the 26th Division held on and did not retreat, the soldiers died to the platoon commander, the platoon commander died to the company commander, and the company commander died to the regiment commander and brigade commander, and they stubbornly blocked the crazy attack of the army! In the Battle of Xuzhou, the 26th Division lured the enemy deep and annihilated more than 10,000 people under the arrogant and invincible Kunizaki Deng's detachment in one fell swoop

After retreating to Fujian, the Fourth Theater with the 26th Division as the main force recovered Taiwan and attacked Guangzhou.

How magnificent, how magnificent! Mountains and rivers can testify, and the moon can be remembered!

There are too many examples of battles like this, and for the 26th Division, it has long been a matter of course. And in this unit there was a man who participated in every battle starting with the Great Battle. Take the lead, and the blood stains the field! With his military exploits, in more than two years, he has entered the ranks of generals from an unknown soldier, and at the age of less than 24, he has become my [***] lieutenant general, which is a miracle, a miracle, but it is also what he deserves!

There are countless devils killed in his hands, such as Shaozuo, Zhongzuo, Dazuo, and even generals, and the chairman of the committee once said that in terms of his combat record, it is still small to give him a lieutenant general, and he should be given a general, a first-class general!

Who is this man, I don't think I need to say his name."

As soon as Chen Cheng's words landed, the crowd that was still silent broke out into thunderous cheers again:

"Goofy! Goofy!! Goofy!!! ”

Chen Cheng turned sideways and let Gao Fei stand in front of him.

Goofy raised his hand and responded to the unquenchable enthusiasm of the people with a standard military salute.

The cheers and applause of the crowd lasted for five or six minutes before it gradually quieted down.

Goofy took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions:

"When I came back today, I never thought that there would be such a scene, on behalf of all the officers and men of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, I would like to thank the rear for their support!"

"Whoa", applause rang out like a tide again.

When the applause subsided, Goofy continued:

"Yes, I have experienced all the battles of the 26th Division, and I am also the youngest general in [***], but all this is not something that I can achieve by Gao Fei alone.

In Dachang, more than 9,000 officers and men of the 26th Division were laid to rest in Shanghai forever and could never come back. Jiangyin, a good brother of mine, in order to cover our retreat, stayed with a female nurse, read the power to stop the army, and finally died with the female nurse. Taierzhuang, I can't forget the brothers' succession, and I can't forget all the things they used their lives to achieve victory.

Sometimes there is a short sentence in the newspaper, I [***] won in such and such a place. But such a simple sentence carries countless blood and the cost of life.

Perhaps everyone has seen some of the officers of my 26th Division in the newspapers. What I can tell you now is that while we are relatively safe here, these people are still fighting hard in enemy-occupied areas. Each of them didn't know when they would be able to come back alive, they didn't know

Just two days ago, one of my brothers came back, he was the battalion commander of the 1st Demolition Battalion of my 26th Division, named Yu Zhenhai. When we retreated, he was left in enemy-occupied territory. He began to break through with his first battalion of explosives, 73 people, only 73 people, but he briefly recovered Dayu Town, and even killed my old opponent of the 26th Division, the wing captain of the army, Shibata Yoshio! When he returned, 73 people had become more than 2,000 people! ”

There were incredible exclamations from the crowd, and even Chen Cheng, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi couldn't help but look at each other.

There was no joy in Goofy's voice:

"It's a miracle, but what is the price behind it? When Yu Zhenhai completed the meeting in Linguan, he had 3,000 troops, but there were more than 1,000 people, but they could never come back, never come back. Some people faced the army and resolutely pulled the grenade; In order not to be captured, some people pointed their guns at themselves and evacuated from Linguan, an officer named Yuan Qingbao stayed behind with 300 brothers to buy as much time as possible for the retreat of the large army.

At this time, Chen Cheng on the side was stunned for a moment, talked to the adjutant for a while, and then pulled Gao Fei aside and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Goofy's face became solemn, and the people didn't know what was happening. Goofy turned around slowly, his tone heavy and sad:

"Just now, Commander Chen told me the fate of the three hundred warriors of Linguan. Commander Chen also got such a battle report two months ago:

On November 28, the 27th year of the Republic of China, a small-scale battle took place in Linguan. I [***] a force of about 300 people without a number, fought bloodily with the army that entered the Linguan, held on for eleven hours, and all of them were killed, not a single one"

At this point, Goofy's voice became choked, and he struggled to finish his words: "None of them surrendered and were captured!" ”

It was quiet below, but then, someone sobbed softly, and then, the crying became more and more, getting louder and louder for the three hundred warriors of Linguan, for the sake of those [***] soldiers who killed themselves and became loyal and brave!

Gao Fei's eyes were red, and he bowed to Chen Cheng: "Commander Chen, thank you, thank you for telling me the whereabouts of my subordinates, thank you!" ”

As he spoke, he turned back to face the people:

"They have a number, they don't have a number! They are the 300 warriors of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army Army! Every single one of them has a name, every single one! They will never come back, their only dream was to go home, but when they were about to get home, they volunteered to stay, they gave up hope of life. Each and every one of them knows what it means to them to stay, so please observe a moment of silence for them! ”

Gao Fei took off his military hat and bowed deeply in the southwest direction. All the officials and the people also bowed their heads.

Rest in peace, three hundred mighty men!

The country has not forgotten you, and the people have not forgotten you!

The silence lasted for three minutes, and Goofy straightened up and put on his military cap: "So, I, Goofy, stand in this position, in exchange for the blood of my brothers!" Without my brethren, I am nothing at high fly! ”

"General Gao!"

At this moment, a woman's voice came.

"General Gao, I'm American journalist Kathys, I have interviewed you and your subordinates, I believe you must remember me!"

"Yes, I remember you, Lady Cathers!" Goofy nodded.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cathers, who raised her voice: "That brave but shy subordinate of yours, Mr. Jin Suozhu, once entrusted me with my help in finding his wife, Sister Chun, and now Sister Chun has been found, she has arrived in Yucheng, and will be here soon." I think Mr. Kim Suo-joo is here too, right? It's great that they can finally meet as husband and wife, and there is nothing more joyful. ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd had already made some slight moves, and then the crowd separated, and a middle-aged couple, a beautiful girl with a child behind the basket, came to the scene under the escort of several big men.

"Spring girl!" Kathers rushed forward excitedly and grabbed the spring girl: "Look, look, who's coming!" ”

When she saw Gao Fei's face, Sister Chun's lips trembled there, trembling, and suddenly, she cried loudly with a "wow": "Senior Officer, Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Gao!" ”

All the suffering and grievances were released in this cry.

"Sister Spring, my good sister, thank you for your hard work!" Goofy's voice choked up again.

The miracles created by the spring girls are not inferior to the miracles created by the brothers on the battlefield. No one knows how this weak woman came to Sichuan and how she got here!

All the people around were quietly wiping their eyes there, "Big Brother Gao, Big Brother Gao!" Sister Chun sobbed, trying her best not to let the tears flow down again, and let go of her body: "Brother Gao, this is the father and mother of the lock pillar, the father and mother of the lock pillar!" ”

Gao Fei walked over and bowed deeply to the father and mother of the lock pillar: "I am the eldest brother of the lock pillar, the father of the lock pillar, and my father and mother!" On behalf of all the officers and men of the 26th Division, I bow to the second elder! ”

Seeing that such a big official bowed to him, Suozhu Father and Suozhu Niang were frightened, and hurriedly supported Gao Fei: "Sir, sir, this, what do you say?" I can't do it, I can't do it."

The child's cry came, Gao Fei was stunned, and looked at the child in the basket on the back of the spring girl: "This is"

Spring girl smiled sweetly, her face was red, and there were tears in her eyes: "This is my child with the lock pillar"

"Good, good!" Gao Fei was overjoyed: "The lock post has a back, and the lock post has a doll!" ”

Spring Meizi looked behind the lock pillar with expectation, and asked cautiously, "Brother Gao, where is my family, my lock pillar?" Didn't come with you? ”

"It's coming, it's coming, but," Goofy hesitated.

Nervousness and worry all appeared on Sister Chun's face: "Brother Gao, lock the pillar, did he have an accident?" ”

"No, no!" Gao Fei hurriedly comforted: "Suozhu originally came back with me, but later seeing that he was about to enter Sichuan, an emergency battle report suddenly came from the front line, and Suozhu immediately returned to the battlefield with his troops."

"Oh." The spring girl said "oh", first relieved, and then a disappointed look also emerged.

I waited for so many days just to see my husband, but now

"Spring girl, lock pillar father, lock pillar mother, I'm sorry for you!" Goofy sighed: "I can see that the family can be reunited, but, but"

"Sir." Father Suozhu also sighed: "How can I blame you? When the lock pillar was a soldier, he was timid and afraid of things, but when it was only a while, the lock pillar and the lock pillar actually became a hero, and we were happy in our hearts, and we also had face in the village. It's nothing if he doesn't come back today, he will always come back in the future, don't you think so? ”

Gao Fei nodded silently, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything!
