Chapter 479: Love in the War Years!
Men and women in love often hope that they can get together every day. Occasionally, if you are separated for a period of time, you will have a feeling of longing for 'not seeing you for a day, such as every other three autumns'. This feeling is also felt by Chen Siya.
Knowing that He Zhengdao came to Yan'an again, even if he knew that He Zhengdao had business to do. But after dinner, Chen Siya was also a little anxious, looking at the path in front of her house from time to time, hoping to see He Zhengdao's figure.
Faced with the situation that their daughter's heart fell on He Zhengdao, Chen Siya's parents felt a little funny. It's just that they also know that the love between their daughter and He Zhengdao is somewhat like a cowherd and a weaver girl.
Even if he knew that the task of the troops was heavy at this time, He Zhengdao, as the commander of the independent column, was busy with work every day. Naturally, it is impossible to be like other men who have time to spend with their families every day.
To be precise, there are many generals' families in Yan'an today, but they are actually taking care of everything at home alone. Some generals who are abroad, like He Zhengdao, may only return to Yan'an for a long time to reunite with their families.
Gathering less and leaving more is itself a life that military wives must adapt to. If you don't have this kind of psychological preparation, I'm afraid that this kind of days when you need to stay alone in an empty room many times will also torture a person to the point of collapse.
While Chen Siya was anxiously waiting, the discussion between He Zhengdao and Mao Taizu and others was also coming to an end. Some of the suggestions they finally decided on to send troops also needed to be handed over to Lao Chiang for discussion, and finally the two sides would negotiate and settle them.
In a word, today's Central Army also has no power, and directly mobilizes the troops of the Eighth Route Army to participate in the war. If the Eighth Route Army does not agree and can give reasonable reasons, the Central Army will not be able to force the Eighth Route Army to send troops.
Therefore, if the Eighth Route Army wants to transfer troops from one army to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, the government also needs to show some sincerity and agree to some demands of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to send troops to battle at will.
And this is also an agreement signed by the two parties before the Anti-Japanese War. It was this kind of operational independence that made Lao Chiang very dissatisfied at that time, and he would delay the signing of the agreement until the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu.
But judging from the current form, many high-level officials of the Eighth Route Army also admired Mao Taizu's clear request to guarantee the Eighth Route Army's independent combat rights. This makes the Eighth Route Army indeed have more autonomy and the right to speak!
After the talks, looking at He Zhengdao, who looked slightly tired, Mao Taizu and others who participated in the meeting also knew. From the moment he arrived in Yan'an, He Zhengdao didn't have time to rest at all, and immediately joined the discussion before the expedition.
Thinking of the wedding that was supposed to be held before the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, Mao Taizu felt a little regretful and said: "Zhengdao, go and see Xiaoya!" You're going back to the army tomorrow, and the next time you meet, I don't know when.
As for your wedding, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it until you're triumphant. You say sorry to her and her parents on my behalf, as a revolutionary soldier, there is no way to do it. Next time, I will give you a great view! β
Hearing this, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "Chairman, we can't afford what you say. As a soldier, Jeong-do should take the national mission as his own responsibility. How can they abandon the tasks of the state and ignore them because of the selfish feelings of their children?
Xiaoya is also a party member, and she is also wearing a military uniform, and I think she can understand this kind of thing. There are many good things, maybe God intends to give us a little more time to get along and understand each other! You should rest early, too! β
Regarding the need to postpone the wedding, He Zhengdao didn't feel any regrets. It's just that he knows very well that Chen Siya, who heard the news, should be able to understand, but there will be some regrets in his heart.
After all, marriage is a big deal for every girl. The wedding, which was supposed to take place soon, now seems to need to be postponed. As for when he will wait next time, I'm afraid that He Zhengdao doesn't dare to guarantee it.
The most important thing is that this time he led the troops to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, and the heavy artillery units and tank armored units of the independent column could not be brought over. This also means that after arriving on the battlefield, the Japanese army will have a complete advantage in firepower.
Fortunately, He Zhengdao is clear that the all-Japanese weapons currently equipped by the new 67th Army are not inferior to those equipped by other Central Army. As long as he can win a few battles, He Zhengdao believes that he will also gain something this time.
As for the risks of this expedition, He Zhengdao has actually been prepared all along. Before each war, He Zhengdao was prepared to go to war at any time and must be mentally prepared to sacrifice his life for the country at any time.
A soldier can die on the battlefield, at least in He Zhengdao's view, it is the glory of being a soldier. To be fortunate enough to be present in this era and witness this great historical change that changed the face of the world, He Zhengdao felt that he was actually very lucky.
For a long time, if it weren't for Chen Siya's devotion to herself, and getting married and starting a family is also a measure of a person's maturity, He Zhengdao actually didn't want to get married so early. But more, He Zhengdao doesn't know what his future holds.
Coming to this era alone, He Zhengdao likes this kind of freedom without worries. If there is a stumbling block, He Zhengdao is also worried about what regrets will be left in the future. It's just that now it seems that all these worries seem a little redundant.
With a few personal guards, seeing that the time was not too late, He Zhengdao thought about going to Chen's house. In any case, he will return to Yulin early tomorrow morning. If it weren't for the inconvenience of traveling at night, He Zhengdao would like to return to Yulin tonight!
Chen Siya, who had been sitting at home and waiting, originally wanted to go to the agency compound to find He Zhengdao. But she knew very well that it was a military aircraft powerhouse. Even if she has the identity of a righteous fiancΓ©e, it is not good to wander there at will.
What's more, disturbing He Zhengdao to handle official business is not a good thing after all. So much so that even if it was boring, Chen Siya could only stay at home honestly, waiting for her sweetheart who didn't know if she would come!
At this time, my father, who was sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, looked at the lights on the path in front of him, and quickly sat up from the courtyard. In fact, if it were the same as before, the family was afraid that they would also start to prepare for rest.
After all, most people in this era, if they don't have anything to do, rest early. Even though Yan'an already has a power plant, the use rate of electric lights is not high. Except for the institutions, most of the people used oil lamps.
Even Mao Taizu and others are sometimes used to lighting oil lamps to work late at night. More of the electricity supplied by the power plant is used on the side of the commercial street. Of course, those businesses use electric lights at night, and they also need to pay a certain fee.
In this case, it is also normal to save electricity. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the places that can be used in Yan'an are places like government schools. On the other hand, if you are a private person, even in the caves of many central leaders, you still light oil lamps.
Chen Siya, who also looked at the path in front of her house from time to time, looked at her father suddenly got up, and her eyes immediately drifted to the place she had been looking forward to for the night. The light flickered from time to time, and I realized that someone was coming towards my house.
Although she hadn't seen anyone yet, Chen Siya had already rushed out of the house. The parents who saw this scene also felt a little helpless. From such actions, it can be seen that this daughter's heart has been tied to others.
Just when Chen Siya stood at the gate of the courtyard, He Zhengdao appeared in her sight. And Chen Siya's look of expectation and joy also quickly fell into He Zhengdao's sight. He knew exactly what it all meant.
Slightly sped up a few steps, looking at Chen Siya, who was a little excited, He Zhengdao, who walked in front of her, also smiled and said, "Today's meeting was a little late, I thought you were resting?" Have you been waiting for me? β
'Well, I thought you weren't going to be here tonight?' β
Even if she felt a little embarrassed, Chen Siya still said this sentence honestly. For her, staying here in Yan'an, there is really not much time to see He Zhengdao in a year!
Hearing this, He Zhengdao's heart warmed, and he stretched out his hand to hold Chen Siya's slender hand and said, "Don't wait so stupidly in the future!" If you really want to see me, you can go to the agency and look for me. It's too late, and it's quite tiring. β
He Zhengdao, who said these words with a smile, didn't give Chen Siya too many opportunities to speak, and directly led Chen Siya, who was a little shy but very happy, into the courtyard, and also greeted Chen Siya's parents very politely.
After sitting down, He Zhengdao chatted some short gossip in the daily life, and then said slightly apologetically: "Uncle, aunt, Xiaoya, there is something I may want to say sorry for." The wedding may be postponed for a while. β
'What's wrong?' Is something wrong? β
Looking at Chen Siya's somewhat stunned expression, it was Chen's father who asked with great concern. And He Zhengdao also understands that this girl who wants to marry him as soon as possible is probably a little misunderstood.
Holding her hand, he patted it and said, "Fool, don't think about it! Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back on his word? The reason for the postponement of the wedding was that I needed to lead the troops on the expedition next, and I was afraid that I would not be able to come back for a short time.
According to the orders of the Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, I will return to Yulin tomorrow to prepare to lead the newly formed 67th Army south to participate in the upcoming battle to defend Wuhan. This expedition, I'm afraid it will take a while.
You can just know about this, and don't say anything about it for the time being. I believe that after a period of time, the central government and the headquarters should make this news public. This can be regarded as the first time that we have joined hands with the Central Army to resist the war! β
After smiling and comforting Chen Siya, He Zhengdao also briefly said that he needed to lead troops to the battle. Knowing that the wedding was postponed because of this, although Chen Siya felt a little regretful, she didn't say anything.
After all, from the day she decided that He Zhengdao was her lifelong partner, she knew that as a soldier's wife, gathering less and leaving more was a life she had to adapt to. In the turbulent years, it is not easy to live a life before and under the moon! (To be continued.) )
