Chapter 754: Overlap
Chapter 754 coincides
The Japanese troops who eliminated the Hongze Lake bandits and the six squadrons that cooperated with the lake bandits to sneak attack Bancheng were eliminated, and the entire Hongze Lake was completely liberated. With control of Hongze Lake, it will be possible to take advantage of the advantages of waterway transportation on Hongze Lake that connects to the Huai River, the canal, and the Yangtze River to transport troops in a mobile manner, thus greatly enhancing the combat capability of the Eighth Route Army in the Suzhou-Anhui border region. Therefore, although the scale of the semi-town defense campaign was not as large as the instructor's previous major campaigns, the chairman and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army both sent commendation telegrams, praising the semi-town defense campaign for grasping the strategic key point and laying the foundation for our army to pass through the Suzhou-Anhui border area.
Liu Yimin himself was also in a mood, and he couldn't imagine that the bandit problem that had plagued the Hongze Lake area for a long time would be solved in one day. If this is the case, the situation in the Suzhou-Anhui border region will be changed ahead of schedule; relying on the Hongze Lake area, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army, it will be possible to establish a solid base in the lake area, and once the time is ripe in the future to recapture Xuzhou, Shandong, Suzhou-Anhui, and the North China Plain will be able to connect Shandong, Suzhou-Anhui, and the North China Plain with just one canal, and the main force of our army can completely rely on the waterway to advance north and south, and carry out large-scale mobile operations. At that time, I'm afraid the end of the little devil will come.
Overjoyed, Liu Yimin wanted to send a report to ask the chairman if he had received the progress of the Battle of Nomenhan of the Soviet Red Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army. After thinking about it, this era is different from the information age in which I used to live, and the conflict between the Japanese army and the Soviet army in Nomenkhan cannot be known to anyone except for the two of them themselves. If the chairman could get a briefing from the Soviet side, he would have told himself as soon as possible. On second thought, it was impossible for the Soviet side to inform the Chinese Communists about the Battle of Normenhan, because Stalin at this time was likely to be skeptical about whether the Chinese Communists could maintain the nature of a proletarian party and the advanced nature of the working class, and as for the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it would probably be difficult for him to fall into Stalin's eyes. Although the situation has changed a lot compared with history, with the national strength of the Soviet Union and the fact that Stalin fully assisted the Nationalist Government, I think Stalin did not know enough about the CCP and the Eighth Route Army, and he would not have informed the CCP about the Battle of Normenhan. Unless the Japanese army changes the fighting style of the historical Battle of Nomenhan, the surprise soldiers stand out and hurt the Soviet Union.
Liu Yimin, who had figured it out, cleaned up his mood and told Zhang Linfeng that they organized the troops to camp and rescue the wounded, and went to the residence of Tang Xingying and the children next door to the headquarters. What Tang Xingying said on the city wall shocked Liu Yimin, he couldn't imagine that this strong woman was so bitter in her heart, it was really reassuring.
The gunfire of the half-town defense battle has completely ended, and Tang Xingying has also returned to her residence and is coaxing Ping'er to sleep. The little guy may have been frightened by the sound of gunfire, arching in Tang Xingying's arms, and didn't sleep.
After all, Li Yun has experienced few battles, and she is still a little nervous at this time, holding He'er's hand and standing in the yard, staring nervously at the door, as if she is afraid that a bandit will suddenly break in and endanger the safety of her baby grandson. After all, He'er is older, but he can't see that he is afraid, and he follows his grandmother, and the small-eyed tiger looks at the soldiers and fellow villagers who come and go outside the door.
As soon as he saw Liu Yimin enter the hospital, He'er cheered, and pounced, Liu Yimin picked up his son, kissed and kissed, and then said to his mother-in-law apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you." ”
Seeing Liu Yimin, Li Yun finally let go of her heart, and said, "Thank God, you're finally back", and went to pour water from the teapot, wanting Liu Yimin to take a sip.
Liu Yimin took He'er's hand, walked to Tang Xingying's side, hugged Ping'er from Tang Xingying's arms, kissed Ping'er twice on the little face, and then hugged Ping'er to scrape his nose and kiss his forehead, and teased the child to look at the moon in the sky while kissing: "The moon, bright; Stars, stars". Teasing, Liu Yimin hummed a nursery rhyme: "Morning glory, can lead the cow, lead the cow around." Swim to the Milky Way, take a bath and have fun", "Little dragonfly, big eyes, two big and bright wings, flying east and west are busy, and they have the ability to eliminate pests", "The sun is big, the earth is small, and the earth runs around the sun." The earth is big, the moon is small, and the moon runs around the earth", "The little flower dog is so strange, it wears a leather jacket and its fur is facing outward, it doesn't bark when it sees an acquaintance, and it plays a great role when it encounters a living person", "Pull a big saw, pull a big saw, grandma's house, sing a big play." Pick up the girl, ask the son-in-law, the little grandson, you go too".
Ping'er has just turned one year old and is already leaving, and it is time to babble. After Liu Yimin's teasing, Ping'er finally recovered from the fright, and the two tiger eyes began to follow Liu Yimin's gesture to the sky.
Liu Yimin teased the rise, lifted Ping'er up, threw it away one by one, and made the child laugh.
The two of them were amused, and He'er cried on the side, so panicked that Li Yun and Tang Xingying ran over and asked what was wrong.
What made Liu Yimin laugh was that He'er actually pointed at Liu Yimin and complained to his grandmother and mother, saying that his father wanted his younger brother to stop him.
Seeing He'er crying hoarsely, Liu Yimin couldn't cry or laugh a little, this little baby's family knows jealousy, let alone adults?
handed over Ping'er, whose mood had returned to normal, to Li Yun to coax him to sleep, Liu Yimin hugged He'er, wiped away the tears on his son's face, went to bring a basin of water, took off his son's clothes, and scrubbed it carefully from top to bottom. I changed the water, washed He'er's hair with soap, and smelled it, and my son was scented from top to bottom. Liu Yimin then asked his son to put on his clothes and bring the notebook for him to see.
As if he had won the battle, He'er ran up and down to get his writing book and arithmetic book for his father to see.
Liu Yimin looked at it and felt very satisfied. My son was enlightened early, and he was not yet four years old, so he could know so many words, and addition and subtraction within a hundred could be counted. This level is no worse than when he was a child, and in this era, he can be regarded as a prodigy. It's just that the sons were educated by Li Yun and Tang Xingying after all, and the stroke structure of the characters is a bit soft.
Liu Yimin immediately asked He'er to sit down, taught his son to write hand-in-hand, and focused on correcting He'er's pen strength.
This writing was written for more than two hours at once, and when he saw that his son couldn't sit still and his little buttocks were twisting on the stool, Liu Yimin stopped. Tell my son that in the future, as long as his father is in the headquarters, he must go to his father every day after dinner, take a writing book and an arithmetic book, and his father must spend at least two hours to guide and study. Dad also taught his children English, Japanese, painting, making models of small airplanes, tanks, and warships, and instructed his children to practice. Dad has a very small pistol, and Dad wants to teach He'er to shoot, so that He'er will be like Dad, be an invincible sharpshooter, and train He'er to be the most capable young man in the world.
As soon as she said this, not only He'er was happy, but even Tang Xingying was happy, walked over and put away her son's writing book and arithmetic book, picked up her son, kissed her little face a few times, and walked to the room where her mother lived.
By the time Tang Xingying was busy, the night was already very deep.
Tang Xingying glanced at Liu Yimin, lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Thank you for coming to see our mother and son." It's late at night, go back and rest! ”
After speaking, Tang Xingying ignored Liu Yimin, walked back to his room quickly, and closed the door.
Liu Yimin looked at the silhouette of Tang Xingying reflected in the light on the window, and had mixed feelings in his heart, thinking about Ni Hua, thinking about Tang Xingying, he only felt that he was not good, and let the two beautiful women fall in love and couldn't extricate themselves, and their hearts were so bitter. If he entered Tang Xing's cherry house at this time, Ni Hua would probably be cold when he knew about it in the future; If he leaves like this tonight, maybe the mother of his two sons will become a martyr in the next battle.
Liu Yimin hesitated in the courtyard, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind and resolutely walked to Tang Xingying's room. After a short time, Li Yun heard shouts from her daughter's room, as if her daughter was pushing her son-in-law out, shouting "You go, you go, I don't want to see you, a negative man with a conscience." I'm just a poor woman, a woman abandoned by you. You thief, you have no conscience! You've made me die! I don't want to live anymore, I've lived enough. ”
Li Yun paused for a while, panicked, so she walked out lightly, and whispered to the door of her daughter's room: "Xing Ying, it's not early." Rest early, you'll be busy tomorrow. Don't wake up your children and scare them. ”
After saying that, he closed the door and went back to his room to rest.
The room fell silent, and after a short time, Tang Xingying's low sobs were heard. Coming down again, the crying stopped, and slowly, the whispers of young couples came from the room.
Tang Xingying said that Liu Yimin did not have himself and his children in his heart. It stands to reason that no matter how Liu Yimin and Ni Hua love each other, they also know Tang Xingying first and then Ni Hua, Tang Xingying loves Liu Yimin first, Ni Hua is tantamount to snatching love with a knife, Tang Xingying is not sorry for Ni Hua at all. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you are not a Red Army soldier or a cadre of the Eighth Route Army, you should treat yourself as an ordinary woman in this era, as if Liu Yimin is an ordinary man, and if Liu Yimin has two wives, then you should say that you are also advanced, and Ni Hua should take the initiative to serve tea and pour water for herself. Putting aside these feudal concepts, Tang Xingying also took the initiative to divorce in order not to let the comrades gossip and to protect Liu Yimin. If Liu Yimin had a conscience, he shouldn't have married Ni Hua so soon. Even if he married Ni Hua, even if Tang Xingying took the initiative to refuse Liu Yimin's door, Liu Yimin didn't feel any guilt in his heart? Can't imagine the hardships of her orphans and widows? Can't just quietly go home and have a look? How can those who secretly get along with each other live? In the final analysis, Liu Yimin is unkind, doesn't love himself, and doesn't love his two smart and lovely sons.
Speaking of hatred, Tang Xingying kept crying aggrievedly, saying that she was blind and fell in love with such a heartless man. The comrades in front of them all shouted that they were Director Tang and Political Commissar Tang, who would know that they washed their faces with tears every night and lived a life that was worse than death. Watching Liu Yimin and Ni Hua go in and out of pairs, I thought that my man had become Ni Hua's man, lying down with mandarin ducks every night, happy like a blooming flower, and uncomfortable like a knife. I want to report to my superiors that I will be transferred to Shaanxi or Shanxi to work, and I will leave this sad place, but I hate that I have no interest, and I am afraid that something will happen to Liu Yimin all day long, and I am reluctant to leave, I just want to stay by Liu Yimin's side every day, watching, protecting, bullets and bullets, and bullets do not grow eyes, what if there is a mistake? The comrades know that they have a deep affection for Liu Yimin, and those who don't know say that they are dead-skinned, I'm afraid Ni Hua has this kind of thought. Does this make you a living person? Is Tang Xingying the kind of person who has no backbone? Thinking about it, this kind of life is simply not a human life, it is better to die. If it weren't for the fact that his two sons were young, he would have stood on the position and let the little devil's plane blow up, shells crash, bullets and bayonets to death, which made Liu Yimin feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life.
In the end, Tang Xingying cried and said that she regretted it, and just thinking about saving Liu Yimin, she held her breath and made a divorce report like the central government. Thinking that without Liu Yimin, the sky will not fall, and she can still take her children to live. Who knew that this divorce, without a husband, would really be the sky falling. Now I know what it means to be orphans and widows, what it means to be lonely and helpless, what it means to cry every day, and what it means to cry every day. Thinking about how miserable I am, I escaped from marriage and became a Red Army, and followed Liu Yimin to fight in the south and the north, without merit and hard work, but in the end I ended up like this. Even if you are ignorant and rashly type the divorce report, won't the central government not approve it? Won't send someone to do their own ideological work? Liu Yimin will not report to the central government for the sake of husband and wife that he does not agree to divorce? In the final analysis, Liu Yimin still coveted Ni Hua's beauty, high knowledge, and good temperament, and threw himself away as a rag. Some leaders may also take a fancy to Ni Hua's family background, and are bent on engaging with Chiang Kai-shek, trying to win US assistance through Ni Hua, and treating themselves and their sons as victims.
Tang Xingying cried and complained, and her tears wet Liu Yimin's chest.
Only then did Liu Yimin know that Tang Xingying's heart was so bitter. This woman, alas, is really a good woman who doesn't change money, and it's all because of her own bad and failed her.
Liu Yimin, who was full of guilt, had already forgotten those rules and precepts to the back of his head, hugged Tang Xingying, made amends in a low voice, persuaded with good words, and repeatedly assured Tang Xingying that it was impossible for him to live without her in his life, and it was impossible to live without He'er and Ping'er, and he would definitely protect the happiness and health of his wife and children, and cultivate his children into manufacturable materials. If it weren't for the little devil, he would take Tang Xingying, Ni Hua and the children to go abroad, find a beautiful European town, an American town or a small island in the Pacific Ocean, settle down at home, support his wife and children with his own ability, and live a prosperous and peaceful life as a family. It's a pity that it can't be done now, the little devils kill people and set fires, and the little devils must be driven out of China. Otherwise, you will live in vain.
Tang Xingying could know whether what Liu Yimin said was right or wrong at this time, but she just curled up in Liu Yimin's arms and cried mournfully. Liu Yimin saw that it was not a solution, so he said that he would simply take Tang Xingying and his son back to Xi'an, report to the Central Committee, and if he was not a teacher, he would stay in Xi'an to do some work within his ability, and wait for the criticism of the Central Committee and the comrades.
Saying this, Tang Xingying woke up, covered Liu Yimin's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense, and said that if that was the case, she would become a disaster, and the little devil wished that Liu Yimin would not be the head teacher, so that they would have one less terrible opponent, and they would no longer have to be afraid of losing the battle every day. Even if she dies, it's nothing, it's just that China has one more martyr who is willing to die for the country. If Liu Yimin quits the battlefield for the sake of women and children, he will become a national sinner.
Looking at Tang Xingying's mood improving, Liu Yimin struck while the iron was hot, and said a lot of love words, saying that as long as two people love each other, it doesn't matter if there is a form of marriage or not. Two fat boys are standing there, who can sever this blood bond? Maybe Tang Xingying will give birth to a few more boys or girls for herself in the future!
Tang Xingying was shy, and slapped Liu Yimin on the chest a few times, saying that he still didn't think he was ashamed enough, and if he really had another child, he would probably cover his face with shame when he saw his comrades.
Liu Yimin smiled and said that it was the war years, who would care about this. If it is really Tang Xingying who has a few more children, I am afraid that everyone will happily come to drink wine and eat happy eggs, and if you bless it, you can't fit a few baskets.
As he spoke, Liu Yimin was not honest, and his hands began to be restless, making Tang Xingying snort heavily, blushing and heartbeat, like a smooth and white mermaid, writhing in Liu Yimin's arms. It wasn't until a man groaned and mixed with the frog chirping of the summer night in the distance that it became a serenade, that Liu Yimin fell asleep peacefully.
When he got up the next morning, Liu Yimin looked at his watch, and it was already 10 o'clock in the morning. Looking at it again, Tang Xingying was still sleeping in the spring of Begonia, her long hair was piled up on the pillow, her white and red goose-egg-shaped face was comfortable, and there was an indescribable spring in her dimples and eyebrows, how beautiful she looked.
Things are already like this, Liu Yimin did not regret it at all, but had a sense of comfort from the inside out. Although he knew that he might have messed things up again and owed a love debt again, Tang Xingying was originally his lover, and he took his son to fight with him through thousands of mountains and rivers, and he deserved what she deserved. As for what will happen if Ni Hua knows, Liu Yimin can't think about it so much now, he can't let Tang Xingying unhappiness and deliberately hit the muzzle of the little devil. In that case, not to mention that he will not forgive himself, his sons will not forgive him when they grow up, I am afraid that Ni Hua will not forgive him if he knows.
Liu Yimin didn't bother Tang Xingying anymore, and got out of bed and dressed lightly.
When she walked out of the house to wash her face, her mother-in-law Li Yun had already packed up her breakfast, watched Liu Yimin gobble it up, and told him to go home for dinner when he was free. He argued with his son every day for his father, don't let his children down.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Linfeng saw the joy on Liu Yimin's face at a glance and felt the vitality emanating from him. It's just that he didn't ask where this joy came from, but he was busy reporting to him that Commander Ye Ting was going to Bancheng to see Division Commander Liu, and it was estimated that he would arrive at night.
