As soon as the smoke of the Battle of Tianjin had dissipated, an armored unit of the Eighth Route Army set out from Zhangjiakou and entered the vast prairie, aiming at Ulaanbaatar, Outer Mongolia. This armored unit was the newly formed Independent Tank Division of the Eighth Route Army. In order to support the Wei Lihuang Corps in launching an offensive on the Shanhaiguan front, the headquarters of the Northwest Group Army of the Eighth Route Army specially dispatched light tank brigades to support the operation, so the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army, which marched to the Outer Mongolian grassland, was composed of a newly equipped medium tank brigade, a motorized regiment, and a self-propelled artillery regiment. In addition, the headquarters of the group army was accompanied by a Mongolian cavalry regiment.

The new Cheetah B tank weighs 11 tons more than the A tank. The Cheetah B tank was put into the Pacific theater through the US military, and not only withstood the test of actual combat, but also won the favor of the US military. According to the agreement between China and the United States, the Cheetah B tank was not provided to the US military units at the beginning of the year, so the armored unit of the Eighth Route Army was rapidly expanded in half a year, and a medium tank brigade was formed, with a number of 165 tanks. The Cheetah B tank weighs 36 tons, has a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 440 kilometers. The artillery of the Gepard B tank has a caliber of 100 mm and a combat rate of fire of 7 rounds per minute.

In order to meet the needs of the battle, the Gepard B tank added an anti-aircraft machine gun with a caliber of 12 and 7 mm. The number of vehicle-mounted machine guns was changed from 1 to 2 with a caliber of 7, 62 mm. The front and side armor of the Cheetah B tank have been thickened, and the streamlined shape is still increased in bullet resistance. In addition, the Cheetah B tank is equipped with infrared night vision devices, which can be driven at night. The motorized regiment is composed of motorcycles and armored vehicles, and the purpose is to increase the mobility and rapid combat capability. Self-propelled artillery regiments are vehicle-mounted cannons with a gun caliber of 105 mm in order to increase long-range strike capabilities.

As the advance force of the Corps, the purpose of the armored unit is to play a deterrent role. The armored troops set out from Zhangjiakou and crossed Zhangbei into the Ulanqab grassland. At dusk that day, division commander Li Yunlong ordered the troops to stop advancing and camp on the spot. After the troops camped, Li Yunlong hurriedly got into the jeep. Political Commissar Hong Wu joked: "Man, Yan'er's newlywed taste delicious!" Lo and behold, before the sun has set, you order your troops to stop advancing. "A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, don't forget that I'm the groom's officer!" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed away.

The day before the departure of Zhangjiakou, Commander Lin personally officiated the wedding and held a wedding for Li Yunlong and Mei Ting. The commander personally presided over the wedding and it was very grand, which surprised Li Yunlong. Especially Lin and several other chief officials, who seemed to "ignore Li Yunlong", but they did take good care of Mei Ting, which inevitably confused Li Yunlong. On the first night of the wedding, his mind was on other things, and the doubts in his heart did not have time to ask. On the morning of the second day, the troops departed, and he had to be separated from his new wife. During the day, his brain began to be entangled in the wedding, why the commanders of the Corps Headquarters took special care of Mei Ting, and even took care of it a little abnormally, it seemed that the bride was the protagonist and he became a supporting role. Thinking of the previous advice of Deputy Commander Nie, Li Yunlong felt that Mei Ting was definitely not a simple returned overseas Chinese.

The health team's camp was located at the back, and for about 10 minutes, Li Yunlong drove a jeep and parked outside Mei Ting's tent. When several female soldiers saw the division commander coming, they immediately whispered and discussed. Mei Ting didn't sleep well on the wedding night, and after the troops camped, Mei Ting went into the tent and fell asleep. Li Yunlong walked into the tent and saw Mei Ting sleeping very soundly, so he crept to sit next to him. Looking at Mei Ting's charming ecstatic sleep, Li Yunlong was a little foggy. Such a beautiful beauty became his wife, and he never dreamed of it.

Li Yunlong stared at Mei Ting's face intently, and couldn't help but reach out and caress it. Mei Ting was startled when she woke up, and said angrily: "I'm scared to death, what are you doing!" "What do you think I'm going to do?" Li Yunlong began to undress. "No, not now!" "You're my wife, what's wrong!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but say that the overlord was hard-working. "You're so rude??????。" Soon, Mei Ting's cheek was pressed against her husband's strong chest, like a bird. "Let me ask you, Commander Lin doesn't know you at all, but Commander Lin took special care of you at the wedding and was very abnormal, what's going on?"

"You really want to know?" Mei Ting opened her eyes and smiled mysteriously. "You're my wife, is there any secret?" "Yunlong, in fact, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was afraid to scare you!" "Do you know who your husband is? Bullets and bullets are coming, what am I afraid of? "Well, I was going to tell you about it. My name is Mei Ting, my sister's name is Mei Fang, and my brother-in-law's name is Ouyang Jian! Li Yunlong sat up in surprise when he heard this: "Your brother-in-law is Ouyang Jian, take it seriously!" "Can I lie to you about this kind of thing?" "I understand, Deputy Commander Nie and Commander Lin both know your identity? No wonder so. "Yes! I didn't mean to hide it from you, it was the command who asked for it for my safety. ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly put on his clothes and seemed to change his person: "Mei Ting, you really scared me, I have to digest it." Looking at Li Yunlong's departing figure, Mei Ting realized that her husband's self-esteem had been hurt. Li Yunlong returned to the division headquarters and entered the tent, and sat on the chair in a daze. "I said, old man, have you completed your combat mission, or have you escaped? But this time is not right, and there is a high possibility of escaping! "Political Commissar Hong Wu ridiculed." Brother Hong, I'm in trouble, how can I have the heart to joke? "What's going on?"

"Brother Hong, I'm afraid you don't know, Mei Ting is the wife and sister of Chief of General Staff Ouyang, I just knew." Hong Wu was also deeply surprised and said: "No wonder Deputy Commander Nie gave you a death order at the beginning, Mei Ting can't have any problems, and now it's clear together." "I heard Mr. Lin say that the expansion of the tank division was due to Chief of General Staff Ouyang's support for me to be the division commander, will Mr. Lin think that I am nepotistic?" "It's hard to say!" At this time, Mei Ting walked in and said: "Political commissar, look at his self-proclaimed self-proclaimed that he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he was immediately cowardly when he knew my identity!" ”

"Ma'am, these are two different things!" I know it's your pride that makes you unable to accept this fact, and you ran away before you finished speaking, this is a letter written by my brother-in-law to the two of us, you can take a look! Mei Ting glared at her husband and handed over the letter. Li Yunlong hurriedly took the letter and checked it, the first words were congratulations, and the second half of the letter was written specifically to Li Yunlong. ??????, brother-in-law, I apologize for not being able to go to congratulate me due to work reasons. We have known about you and Mei Ting for a long time, and I hope you don't have any worries. ’

'The ancients, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, your ability has long been recognized by the headquarters, and it has nothing to do with us. I wish you all the best, and if I have time, I'll go back and ask for a nice drink. 'The signature is Ouyang Jian, followed by the year, month and day. Li Yunlong's expression changed greatly after reading the letter, "Political commissar, this is a letter from Chief of General Staff Ouyang, take a look!" "This is your letter, do I think it's appropriate?" "Commissar, there are no secrets!" Mei Ting smiled. After reading the letter, Hong Wu said: "Lao Li, what Chief of General Staff Ouyang said in the letter is good, you are a little hypocritical. Lao Li, don't think about anything, that's asking for trouble. I'm going to the artillery regiment and I'm not coming back tonight! ”

Political Commissar Hongwu's meaning couldn't be clearer, and Mei Ting's face immediately turned red when she heard it. Li Yunlong took out some food and esophagus: "I'm hungry!" "Do you care if I'm hungry or not?" Mei Ting chewed slowly and asked curiously, "Yunlong, is my brother-in-law really scary?" "Your brother-in-law is the god of war in our hearts, and we are not afraid that he will worship him!" "Yunlong, I haven't seen my brother-in-law's dignity since I returned to China, nor have I seen my sister's face." "I met the chief of the General Staff in Jiangxi, but I didn't speak. I really don't know what to say when I meet, especially with the relationship between my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law. ”

"You have too many ideas, don't worry, I'll call the shots for you." "Now that you're a princess and I'm a colt, of course you don't care." The husband and wife teased, and night gradually fell. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkled the grassland. Mei Ting took Li Yunlong's arm and walked on the grassland, the breeze was blowing on her face, Mei Ting couldn't help singing, "The beautiful grassland is my home, I love the beauty of the water, fertilizer and grass, the grassland is like a green sea, and the felt bag is like a white lotus??????。 ”

Li Yunlong listened quietly and stopped, Mei Ting's singing voice was very sweet, it was an expression of true feelings. "Mei Ting, you sing very well. When the group army art troupe performed, a song describing the night of the grassland could better reflect the artistic conception at the moment. "What song do you teach me?" "The name of the song is Prairie Night Beauty, I can't sing all five notes well, but I like this song very much." "It's okay, you can sing it! I like all the songs of the prairie. Li Yunlong brewed his emotions and sang: "The grassland is beautiful at night, the piano music is melodious and the flute is crisp, and the evening breeze blows the stars of Tianhe!" Sink into the yurt glittering silver ??????。 ”
