Chapter 1003: Bonfire on a Snowy Night (continued)

Although it was a snowy night, the courtyard was bright thanks to the campfire and torches planted on both sides.

Liu Yimin's voice was not high, but the strange thing was that the cadres could hear it clearly.

I heard Liu Yimin say: "The brilliant achievements of our army are won by the sacrifices of the martyrs.

The first glass of wine tonight is a tribute to our chief of staff. ”

Liu Yimin looked solemn, took a bowl of wine from the wooden pallet served by Hu Changbao, and read aloud: "The moon is short, the country is in mourning, and the warriors go out to fight against the strong sorghum: sprinkle the wine, sacrifice the loyalty, and the whole people will fight against the East Ocean!" Zeng Chief of Staff, Comrade Zhongsheng, hún Xi returns! ”

After reading, Liu Yimin gently withdrew the Moutai wine in the bowl to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yimin read the names of Huang Xiang, Li Yimo, Jingjing, Li Donghai, Guo Zheng, and Chen Yaoguang one by one, and sprinkled wine to pay tribute.

Tang Xingying, who was sitting at the women's table, had tears in her eyes, watching Liu Yimin's every move, and when Liu Yimin read Jingjing's congratulations, Tang Xingying heard it clearly: The wolf smoke rises, the country is destroyed, the family and country are destroyed, and the people are sad: the girl in the boudoir, push the case, and throw the pen from Rong Xixiong! Jingjing, hún Xi is back!

Tang Xingying couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed out.

In the end, Liu Yimin took the wine jar from Li Xiaoshuai's hand, raised it high above his head, and shouted loudly: "Since the reorganization of the Xiangjiang River, the Red Eighteenth Regiment, the Central Guard Division, the Red Seventh Army, and the Eighth Route Army instructors,

The martyrs who died in the previous battles of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, my good comrades-in-arms and brothers, I miss you Liu Yimin, and my old comrades-in-arms miss you! Moutai wine, comrades, brothers, come back and drink with us! ”

After shouting, Liu Yimin picked up the wine jar and poured it into the ground.

The yard was filled with low sobs.

After the memorial, Liu Yimin picked up another bowl of wine and shouted: "Don't cry!" Who dares to cry Lao Tzu does not follow him! Come, pick up the wine, drink this bowl of hero wine, and go to the battlefield to kill the devil in the future, cut the devil's head with a knife, and step on the devil's nose. Come on, drink! ”

It was supposed to be a festive gathering to soothe the emotions of the cadres, but it turned out to be extremely tragic as soon as Liu Yimin came up.

Luo Ronghuan saw that it was not a play, so he pulled Liu Yimin to toast from table to table.

The toast began at the table of the logistics headquarters where Wu Zheng and Yang Zhicheng were sitting. Liu Yimin said to Wu Zheng, Yang Zhicheng, Zeng Zhao, Bill, Clement, Li Qiang, Qian Zhidao, and Li Yu and Lin Feng, who were serving wine with him, that there are many engineers and technicians among the people who came from the United States to aid China this time, and we should care about them in all aspects of work and life. In addition to the Ordnance Research Institute, it is also possible to set up a geophysical research institute, a space science research institute, an oceanographic research institute, a radio research institute, an aerodynamics research institute, a metal materials research institute, a water conservancy research institute, an electric power research institute, an aviation research institute, an agricultural research institute, a forestry research institute, a medical equipment research institute, a pharmaceutical research institute, and so on. Famous professors and scholars such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Zhejiang University, as well as those literati and scholars who are stranded in Hong Kong, should think of inviting them to come to Shandong in the name of Shandong University and various research institutes, especially scholars like Ye Qisun, Wu Youxun, and Wang Ganchang, and should try to tell them that Shandong University has first-class scientific research facilities and can provide them with sufficient funds and a safe environment for them to engage in scientific research. If you are not satisfied with the conditions in Shandong, you can go directly to our rear in Shaanxi, and we will provide scientific research funds and equipment.

Wu Zheng listened to Liu Yimin's words in a daze, and it took him a long time to react, and he hurriedly reported: "Commander, these research institutes and so on you mentioned are really beyond my knowledge level. My task is to manage the logistics of the whole army and organize military production, and I am really not qualified for the rest. Would you like to ask the commander to send some experts? ”

Liu Yimin smiled and said, "You drink my bowl of wine, I'll tell you a way." ”

Wu Zheng didn't frown, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it, poured it after drinking, and drank three bowls in a row. Liu Yimin said with a smile: "The task of you and Yang Zhicheng is to organize, coordinate and protect security, and you can let Li Qiang, Qian Zhidao, Zeng Zhao, and Bill do other work!" Comrade Li Qiang is the largest radio expert in our party and our army, and Zeng Zhao's level is also well-known. You first put up the shelves of each research institute, and then slowly make up the candidates. Don't you see people worshipping gods and building temples? Do you build a temple first, and then invite God? Got it? ”

Wu Zheng was stunned and couldn't catch it for a long time.

Yang Zhicheng knew why Wu Zheng was in trouble, Liu Yimin didn't say it, where did they know what Ye Qisun and Wang Ganchang were? I've never even heard of it, and I can't even ask the gods to open the temple gate, so what should I do?

Yang Zhicheng pondered and said: "Commander, Wu Zheng and I are both soldiers, not scientific materials. You see, we haven't heard of so many research institutes you talked about. If you want to build a temple, you are afraid of building the wrong one. Otherwise, can Shandong University run all kinds of research institutes, and the logistics command is only in charge of the military industry? Do you think it's okay? ”

Liu Yimin still smiled and said: "Comrade Zhicheng, what you said is very good, you know the difference between military and civilian. Let me tell you, this is only temporary, and I want to use the strength of our logistics command to help the scientific and technological work get off the ground. In the future, this will be all a matter of the government, and you will not be able to manage it if you want to. Don't say it, if you don't understand, after you go back, you will study it with Li Qiang and them, the key is to show a military style and act as soon as possible. Let me tell you, as I said, if Ye Qisun and Wang Ganchang come to our base area and study weapons, ammunition or other things, it will be no problem at all. They will have a greater contribution! Come,' Wu Zheng. Lao Yang, comrades, drink another bowl, I am waiting to hear your good news! ”

Wu Zheng, Yang Zhicheng, Li Qiang and others could only pick up the wine bowl and touch the wine with Liu Yimin, Luo Bihuan and others, and then drank it all, and had to salute and report to ensure that the task was completed.

When he was respecting the First Brigade, Liu Yimin laughed at Gao Yuan's inability and led a group of singles. If you have the ability, you can also be like Li Chang, Li Lingfeng, and Wang Laohu, and bring a daughter-in-law back and let the comrades have a happy drink.

As soon as Liu Yimin's voice fell, Luo Ronghuan remembered the last time he found a partner for Tang Xiuer, and several people in front of him swore that they had a partner, but why didn't they report their marriage until now?

Luo Ronghuan asked Zhou Yi, chief of staff of the First Brigade: "Zhou Yi, last time I remember that at the September meeting, you reported that you had a lover, or was introduced by your eldest sister Tang." Why haven't I seen you make a marriage report for so long? Did you lie to us at the time? ”

Zhou Yi hurriedly reported: "Report to the political commissar, I am about to make a marriage report, but the woman still has some concerns and has to work again." Please rest assured that I will try to make a marriage report in the near future. "What Zhou Yi said is the truth, since he said at the last meeting that there is an object, he knows that he must implement it quickly, otherwise he will be saddled in the name of deceiving the leader. Later, he really found one in the Art Troupe of the Military Region, and now he is in love!

Luo Ronghuan let go of Zhou Yi and looked at Wang Dahu.

Wang Dahu, the head of the first regiment, was desperate to learn everything like Liu Yimin, and he was determined to find a girl like Tang Xingying and Ni Hua. made Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin scold him several times for missing a root in his head, and he didn't look at what he looked like, can he compare with the teacher? Besides, where can you find a girl like Tang Xingying and Ni Hua! In the end, Wang Dahu finally got the hang of it, knowing that eating in his mouth is the dish, and he went to Tang Xingying a few days ago and asked her to introduce the object, but now he hasn't skimmed the eight characters yet!

As soon as he saw that the political commissar looked at him, Wang Dahu took the wine bowl and drank it, wiped his mouth, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, political commissar, I am looking for it, and I promise to complete the task!" Cai Zhong immediately said: "Wang Dahu, let me tell you, the first regiment is the main force in the whole army, can you, as the commander of the regiment, lose the battle in finding a target?" ”

Wang Dahu xiōng 脯一tǐng, another report: "Please rest assured, Director Cai, teach a regiment to attack all invincible, and my Wang Dahu has no concept of defeating the battle!" "There is a reason why Liu, Luo, and Cai are so concerned about the marriage of cadres. These backbone cadres are all old Red Army cadres, and each of them is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred. Like the plateau, the whole family has been killed by the Kuomintang, and if you are always alone, your heart will be completely filled with hatred for a long time, and you will be impulsive. Finding a partner, becoming a family, and having children and wives to worry about is good for work, and it also puts an end to the infiltration of Japanese pseudo-female spies.

After listening to Wang Dahu's words, Liu Yimin turned around and said to Cai Zhong: "Director Cai, the Political Department can sum up our experience in Xi'an, care about the living problems of the cadres, or the old policy, or the original old policy, and then appropriately relax it, hold some friendship activities, build a bridge for the cadres, and provide an opportunity to find a partner." Cai Zhong said that the commander was thoughtful, and the Political Department would study it and organize it immediately.

After toasting in this circle, Liu Yimin didn't drink less, but he didn't enliven up the atmosphere.

It wasn't until Cai Zhong led people to push Li Lingfeng and Liu Wu, Wang Laohu and Li Ping up, and covered the two female comrades with red hijabs in a decent manner, that the atmosphere in the courtyard became happy.

Li Lingfeng has actually been married for a long time, but Liu Yimin was in a bad mood because Tang Xingying divorced him at that time, and Li Lingfeng didn't have a treat. Wang Laohu and Li Ping were newlyweds, and a wedding ceremony was also held in Jizhong at that time.

At this time, the two young couples were pushed up, and the catkins were still carrying a big belly, and the courtyard suddenly burst into laughter.

Cai Zhong deliberately created a festive atmosphere, and pulled Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu to go through the wedding procedures according to the wedding procedures. Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu stood there like puppets and were led by Cai Zhong's nose, with a smirk on their faces all the time, but the two female comrades, Liu Wu and Li Ping, were a little embarrassed, twisting and pinching, which made the comrades-in-arms laugh for a while.

Wu Zheng, Yang Zhicheng, Zeng Zhao, Bill... The table at which Clemen, Li Qiang, and Qian Zhidao sat became the center of the audience, because Political Commissar Luo said at the beginning that the military industry department had made great achievements, and tonight was also a celebration for them, and the cadres were smart, and they immediately guessed that there was a good baby again, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders came to toast one by one, wanting to take some news from their mouths, and at the same time reflecting some problems with weapons found in actual combat, but more importantly, they wanted the logistics command to replenish more ammunition and materials.

Hu Laohu, the commander of the cavalry brigade, pulled Wu Zheng and Yang Zhicheng, and drank six in a row like brothers, and then said: "Commander Wu, Political Commissar Yang, after the soldiers used our Bayi automatic rifles, they felt that they were not energetic about the 38 big cover, Hanyang made, and Shui Lianzhu. The commander said as early as when he established the cavalry company that the era of fighting with sabers has long passed, and he wants us to train our troops to be sharpshooters and sharpshooters on horseback. At this point, I, Lao Hu, can pat xiōng chest and assure you that the cavalry brigade is absolutely unambiguous. But the soldiers had a request, could they produce more Bayi automatic rifles and reequip all the cavalry brigades. You think, if each of my three cavalry regiments had an automatic rifle and pounced on the Japanese position, the dense firepower, would the little devil dare to do it! All that awaits them is a dead word! Come, let's drink two more, which means I have booked first! If you want money, steel rails, Japanese officers' command knives, you can do anything, just get us more Bayi automatic rifles. Come, whoever drinks and doesn't drink is a dog! It made Wu Zheng and Yang Zhicheng cry and laugh, so they could only accompany Hu Laohu to drink it all.

Li Chang's requirements were different from Hu Laohu's, he wanted rocket artillery.

Li Chang took Zeng Zhao and Bill Clemen's hands and described the actual combat scene of rocket artillery to them, and when Bill listened, Clemen's mouth opened into an O-shape and kept saying "OK".

Li Chang took the wine bowl and touched the bowl with Bill three times in a row, telling him that if he could equip a rocket artillery regiment, he would fight the little devils like this wine, and drink it all in one go.

Bill didn't know how Bazooka kept asking questions in half-baked Chinese like drinking.

Li Chang couldn't explain clearly, so when he was in a hurry, he hugged Bill and said, "Dear Bill, you might as well go home and let Liu Qianqian explain it to you." I can't tell you clearly! ”

Wu Zheng and the others laughed when they heard it!

The hot dishes are served, and each table has a large pot, which is wild boar, badger meat, yellow mutton, rabbit meat, tofu, radish and cabbage vermicelli.

Moutai is indeed limited in quantity and not enough to drink, but the sesame-flavored sorghum roasted two pots produced by Jingzhi are enough to drink. The cadres were eating and drinking, and some of them began to guess the order.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoman, the Red Army's Bailing, stood up, walked to the bonfire, and first sang a song "Qingqing's Luoma Lake", and then sang "Thirty Miles Shop", "Five Brothers' Sheep", and "Lan Huāhuā" Three northern Shaanxi folk songs.

Zhao Xiaoman's singing has always been the most beautiful enjoyment for the soldiers of the whole army. It was a silent snowy night again, and her voice was so penetrating that even the wintering birds perched in the nests in the trees quacked and quacked, fluttering out of their nests and flying away in the night sky.

Li Yu sighed and said: "Our Eighth Route Army is really full of talents, I didn't expect Comrade Zhao Xiaoman's singing voice to be so beautiful. The ancients said that the sound of the clouds and the aftermath of the sound should be like this! Cai Zhong immediately quipped: "Comrade Li Yu, you can also go up and sing one!" ”

Li Yu waved his hand: "I can't sing, it's better to listen!" ”

**I also participated in today's party and specially prepared a program. After Zhao Xiaoman finished singing, he walked generously to the bonfire and sang an excerpt from "Fishing and Killing Home".

** is a standard movie star of this era, although he is wearing the cotton uniform of the Eighth Route Army, he looks a little bloated, but his eyebrows are affectionate, and his gestures are full of charm, and the cadres who watched it applauded for a while.

At this time, the cadres knew that a big star had come to the Shandong base area. Li Chang's temper came up again, and with the help of wine, he stood up and shouted: "The female comrades have behaved, and the gentlemen should also give a hand." In this way, one brigade comes out with one program, and our artillery brigade comes first. No way, who made our artillery the big brother of the infantry? Li Chang's voice shouted, and the audience was cleared. Without waiting for the brigade commanders to react, Li Chang shouted: "A regiment commander, gather the team and sing our "Song of the Eighth Route Army Artillery"!" ”

"The Song of the Artillery of the Eighth Route Army" is a song composed by the Art Troupe after the Battle of Taixi, which praises the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, which was originally called "The Rumbling of Cannons", and was later reported to the General Political Department

The artillery brigade has always been operating with the headquarters, and its station is around Dadian, and Li Chang's artillery headquarters is also located in Dadian Town, and there are many cadres who have come. In this gathering, there was really a choir posture, and even Li Chang and Wang Shanzhu stood in the middle of the procession, and sang loudly in this snowy night: "Our artillery grows in battle, and we are getting stronger day by day." Never afraid of danger, we have the strength to overcome difficulties. President Mao told us the direction of the struggle, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu guided us forward. Solidarity is like steel, and the people are rushing forward. Intensify the training to master the technique, we are the strong main force. Study hard and work hard, all of them have skills,

Both civil and military. Our positions were on the front line of the counteroffensive, and the power of artillery fire was like a landslide. Strike the enemy mercilessly, aim at the vital point, and kill every shot. Swift, indeed brave and resolute, invincible in attack, sweeping away the enemy and making meritorious contributions. "The artillery brigade sang this way, the momentum was majestic, and the brigades couldn't sit still, and they also began to organize singing. Some sang the military song of the Eighth Route Army, some sang the march of the Eighth Route Army, and for a while, the bonfire in the compound of the headquarters of the Shandong Military Region became a singing platform, and Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan's intention to let the cadres come out of the sadness of Zeng Zhongsheng's sacrifice was finally achieved.

In the end, I don't know who shouted to the commander to sing three, and it immediately won the response of the cadres, and the audience applauded.

Luo Ronghuan pushed Liu Yimin: "Sing one, comrades are waiting for it!" Liu Yimin's eyes swept around the courtyard, and when he saw the cadres looking forward to it, thinking about the whole army like frosted eggplants when he learned the news of Zeng Zhongsheng's martyrdom, Liu Yimin's heart churned, and he didn't stand up, but sat on the stool and sang.

Liu Yimin sang the ancient long tune "Walking Horse", "Strong Horse", and "Golden Sè Holy Mountain" that he sang in Yulin, and the magnetic and incomparably thick tenor floated in the night sky, which immediately captured the hearts of the cadres in the courtyard.

Zhao Xiaoman involuntarily appeared again and danced around the bonfire.

After Liu Yimin finished singing, Zhao Xiaoman woke up from his intoxication, glanced around, and fled back to his seat with his feverish face.

Ladies and gentlemen: If you have a guaranteed monthly pass, can you vote for the mountain people?!。
