Wuhan, the leader of the line.

Chairman Jiang had been working in the office for nearly two hours in a row, and was just about to get up and go to the courtyard to walk around and move around to exercise his muscles.

Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, rushed in with an excited face, and just happened to meet Chairman Jiang who just wanted to go out, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Take a seat!" Good news, the Tiger Brigade called back. ”

"Oh? What's the good news? Has the Tiger Brigade won the battle again? Chairman Jiang asked in surprise, these words, isn't the Tiger Brigade a good news? Therefore, Chairman Chiang immediately thought that he would win the battle again.

"Be wise!" Wang Shihe first slapped a sycophant without a trace, and then said: "The Tiger Brigade called back, they said that they had taken the initiative to abandon Shanghai and break through, and in the breakthrough battle, they even severely damaged the 18th Division of the Japanese Army's blocking force, and killed thousands of Koukou under the commander of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Sadao, and once again achieved a great victory!" ”

"Hmmm! Well done! Chairman Jiang nodded happily when he heard this, and immediately said with great joy: "You immediately instruct the major newspapers and intelligence departments to immediately publicize the news of the great victory of the Tiger Brigade, so as to encourage the enthusiasm and determination of all our people to resist the war!" Since the Tiger Brigade won great victories in Suzhou and Shanghai, compatriots and overseas Chinese at home and abroad have surged up with an upsurge of donations and materials to support the anti-Japanese resistance.

The generous donations of these non-governmental organizations and overseas Chinese have greatly alleviated the tight financial budget of the national government, and the great victory achieved by the Tiger Brigade has shaken the entire Western world, and the Western countries that originally looked down on it, such as Britain, France, and the United States, were shocked, and praised [***] combat effectiveness or leverage, just because [***] equipment was too poor and so on.

Anyway, it was the appearance of the Tiger Brigade that made the national political axe receive a lot of respect in front of the world's powers, and it even slapped Yue Ben in the face, breaking the myth that the combat effectiveness of the army and the army was the first in the world and invincible.

Therefore, he will not let go of any powerful news and intelligence about the Tiger Brigade, because it is too useful.

"Yes!" Wang Shihe has followed Chairman Jiang for many years, and he also knows all these things, so he didn't understand Chairman Jiang's intentions, so he hurriedly responded loudly.

"Also, send a commendation telegram to the Tiger Brigade, and award a Flying Tiger Flag, and another brigade commander Qiao Anbang Zhongzheng Sword to encourage them, hoping that they will make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the nation and the country!" Chairman Jiang waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Shihe stepped forward again and immediately took the order to leave

Northern Anhui, Pheasant River Jihu Ben Brigade Base.

The entire Pheasant River market county is full of lights and is in a hurry.

On the city wall of the south gate, Qiao Siyuan was looking at the highway with his cane and reading glasses under the support of Qiao Wu, and the two Qiao Anbang brothers sent a telegram last night, saying that they would return triumphantly today.

Qiao Siyuan knew the news of his sons' successive brilliant victories on the front line, and when the second Qiao Anjia excitedly brought the news about the Tiger Brigade's victories in Suzhou and Shanghai, Qiao Siyuan, the old man, shed tears of excitement on the spot.

In his opinion, his most indisputable son can repeatedly make great contributions in the field of resisting and saving the country, and thus become a world-famous hero of resistance and a national hero.

If you have a son like this, what are the regrets in this life?

So when he learned that Qiao Anbang had finally led his troops back triumphantly, he ordered people to mobilize and prepare to welcome the soldiers in the most lively way.

The news that the soldiers were about to return in triumph soon spread to the surrounding towns and villages, and those who had sons or husbands who joined the army rushed to Pheasant River overnight to prepare for the return of their relatives.

At this moment, these people are most melancholy in their hearts, and what they are most afraid of is not being able to see their relatives come back.

At this time, the entire Pheasant River Gathering does not count the people of the city, and has gathered at least forty or fifty thousand people, although these people cannot all be military families, so most of them also came to see the excitement, and they also hope to be able to see the military appearance of this hometown soldier who has returned from blood.

Qiao Siyuan was leaning on the wall with one hand, looking into the distance, at this time, the second Qiao Anjia came up happily and said to Qiao Siyuan: "Dad, according to your instructions, everything has been arranged, all the restaurants in the city are working overtime to make wine and meat, and firecrackers, gongs, drums, and suona are also ready." Just wait for the eldest brother and the third brother to return triumphantly. ”

Qiao Siyuan nodded silently, his eyes were still looking ahead, and suddenly, a horse galloped from the end of the avenue, and when he reached the city, he shouted to the city wall: "Master, Second Young Master, here, the troops of the eldest young master and the third young master are back!" ”

As soon as the man's words fell, dust rose on the avenue at the end of his eyes, and Qiao Siyuan and the people outside the city could vaguely see a convoy galloping towards him.

"Dad, it's the eldest brother and the third brother, they're really back!" The second child, Qiao Anjia, pointed to the front very excitedly.

"Yes, sir, they're back." Qiao Wu on the side also nodded excitedly and agreed.

"Hmm!" Qiao Siyuan nodded, turned around on crutches and said, "Let's go, let's go down to meet them." ”

Soon the convoy of the Tiger Brigade drove a mile away from the city, at this point, Qiao Anbang ordered to stop, and the hometown fathers and villagers rushed to meet them, they naturally could not sit in the truck, how could they also walk into the city, by the way, a simple ceremony was held to enter the city, one can inspire the soldiers, improve their morale and sense of glory, and the other can also lay a little foundation for the next recruitment.

After the convoy stopped, the officers and men began to get out of the car one after another to assemble, and at this time, the families of those soldiers were already eager to see through it, and when they saw the soldiers getting off the car one after another, they couldn't hold back anymore when they saw their relatives, and rushed to their sons, husbands, and brothers in tears.

Although the whole scene is a little chaotic, but it is also very touching, many people hug their own children, husbands are hugging their heads and crying, in this era of war and chaos, it is more important for relatives to come back alive than anything.

However, there are also many family members who have not been able to find their relatives, and they have wailed and cried, although most of the one or two thousand people sacrificed in the Huben Brigade are the Sichuan soldiers of Kong Xiangjie, Hu Nanbing and Zhao Gengyuan, but there are also many local soldiers of Pheasant River Collection.

Everyone knows that if their loved ones fail to come back, there is only one result, and that is death.

Seeing nearly four or five hundred fathers and villagers gathered together and crying, Qiao Anbang had a sour nose and strode towards them, and the local soldiers who were responsible for carrying the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers also hurriedly followed.

Qiao Anbang came to the crowd and saw an old lady crying to death: "My son...... My dunzi......" hurriedly walked over and persuaded sadly: "Auntie, you mourn, I am incompetent, I failed to bring the dunzi back......"

"Sir, where is my mound? Is he dead? This lady had seen Qiao Anbang when she sent her son to join the army, so she recognized it, and immediately asked urgently.

Qiao Anbang lowered his head gloomily, and at this time, a soldier from the same village as Dunzi behind him stepped forward with tears on his face, and said in a choked voice: "Aunt Xu, Dunzi has sacrificed!" As he spoke, he took off the urn hanging on his chest and handed it to his mother.

Seeing this, Aunt Xu looked miserable, her wrinkled hands trembled and took over the urn, she couldn't cry, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

"Auntie!" Qiao Anbang and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then turned his head and shouted: "Military doctor, call the military doctor quickly." ”

Without waiting for the military doctor to arrive, Aunt Xu suddenly woke up again, and when she saw the urn in her arms, she let out a hoarse cry and cried bitterly.

At this time, other people also took over the ashes of their relatives, hugged the ashes altar and cried, among them were the elderly, orphans and widows, and the whole scene saw the tears and smelled sad.

Looking at the grief-stricken fathers and villagers, Qiao Anbang felt even more sad, and he said in a sad voice: "All the fathers and villagers in your hometown, uncles and aunts, eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, are all Qiao Anbang's incompetence and failed to bring your relatives back safely!" But I tell you that your sons, husbands, and brothers, they did not die in vain, and their blood was not shed in vain. This time we went out, played the prestige of the Chinese [***] people, and hit the devil hard! All the brothers who died were great heroes who stood up to the heavens and the earth, and they were still glorious even though they died! ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Anbang continued to say in a deep voice: "Folks, I can understand your pain, to tell the truth, none of us want war, everyone likes to fight, it is really forced to helpless, the devil wants to forget my country, destroy my race, as a Chinese, in order not to let our children and grandchildren not be enslaved by ourselves, for our hometown, we must take up arms, fight to the death with the invaders, defend our country, defend our territory!" The sacrifice of your relatives is to be able to defend their loved ones from being bullied by yourself! ”

"Finally, I want to say that although your relatives are gone, but we are still there, from today on, as long as you don't dislike it, we are your sons, as long as one of us is still alive, we will definitely give you a pension! We will definitely take care of the families of all the sacrificed soldiers! Saying that, Qiao Anbang sincerely threw himself on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Folks, Qiao Anbang kowtowed to you!" I have kowtowed to you on behalf of my soldiers, your relatives, and in the future, whenever I am alive, I will take care of my brothers, their families, their parents, their wives, their sons, and their daughters! ”

"And us!" Hundreds of soldiers behind Qiao Anbang fell to their knees one after another.

"And us! We are all your loved ones! All the soldiers fell to their knees one after another, and followed Qiao Anbang to kowtow three times to all the families of the martyrs. The whole scene was spectacular.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Xu trembled her hands and helped Qiao Anbang, who was kneeling in front of her, to help her up, and said very excitedly: "Sir, with your words, my family is not with the wrong person!" I don't need you to feed, my mother, as long as I can do it, I will never cause trouble to you, you have to focus on the battlefield, kill more devils in the future, avenge our family, I can close my eyes even if I die. ”

"Auntie, don't worry! We will definitely kill more devils and avenge the sacrifices of our brothers! After Qiao Anbang finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted: "Kill all the Kou, return my mountains and rivers!" ”

"Kill all the Kou, return my mountains and rivers!"

"Kill all the Kou, return my mountains and rivers!"

"Kill all the Kou, return my mountains and rivers!"

The more than 5,000 soldiers behind him roared in unison, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the people present were all moved.

Qiao Siyuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but nod secretly, these words have not been seen, his youngest son has learned to win people's hearts, especially the five thousand soldiers behind him, looking at the posture, he is even more loyal to him.

Qiao Siyuan has been in business all his life, who doesn't understand people's feelings? Just his son's means of winning people's hearts is enough to make him happy.

"Folks, today's soldiers are victorious, they have been fighting bloody battles, they must be very tired now, it is time to let them rest and rest, eat and drink, recuperate, and then go to the battlefield, kill more devils, everyone says right?" Qiao Siyuan stepped forward and said loudly.

"Yes!"

"Yes!" The people who had already been moved by Qiao Anbang responded one after another, and immediately began to persuade Qiao Anbang and the soldiers to go into the city to rest.

Qiao Siyuan took advantage of the situation and waved his hand, and a deafening sound of gongs and drums and suona sounded behind him, and then someone lit the firecrackers hanging on the city wall.

Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo came to Qiao Siyuan together and said in a low voice: "Dad, we're back." So saying, the two brothers were about to kneel.

But he was supported by Qiao Siyuan on the spot, and said with a happy face: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, I have prepared wine and food for the soldiers in the city, hurry up and let them all go into the city to eat and drink, and rest and rest." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Anbang immediately nodded and agreed, the troops were fighting, it was time to reward them, so he immediately turned his head and said: "Gensheng, pass the order, except for the guard company, all regiments will enter the city, and reward the three armies today!" Everyone can drink and eat vigorously, and the wine and meat are enough! ”

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng responded abruptly, and immediately turned around and took the order.

Seeing Wang Gensheng leaving, Qiao Anbang turned to Qiao Siyuan and said, "Dad, wait a minute, let the fifth uncle send the pensions of those fallen soldiers to the villagers, and it can be regarded as giving them some comfort." ”

"Well, okay, I'll let your fifth uncle do it right away." Qiao Siyuan nodded and said.

"What about the pensions of Anbang, Kong Xiangjie and Zhao Gengyuan and most of the soldiers from Hunan and Sichuan?" Qiao Anguo asked.

"This, I will ask Gensheng to go to a regiment to visit those surviving officers and soldiers, see if I can ask the specific addresses of the hometowns of the sacrificed soldiers, and then send someone to send these pensions over." Qiao Anbang thought for a moment. Anyway, there are flying machines, but they are not afraid of far.

"Hmm!" Qiao Anguo nodded reassuringly.

Soon, the five thousand tiger soldiers drove into the city in the warm welcome of the villagers, and all the shops and restaurants in the city were contracted by the Qiao family to entertain the soldiers, but most of the restaurants were the majority of the Qiao family, and a small number of other people did not dare to disobey.

The whole reward activity, from the afternoon to the middle of the night is over, most of the soldiers are drunk, because of the long time outside the battle, the moment is close to death, the soldiers are very nervous and depressed, but now everyone to release the depression in their hearts and the grief of the loss of their comrades.

Qiao Anbang, as the brigade commander of the Tiger Brigade, was naturally toasted by his subordinates, and in the end, it was Wang Gensheng and several guards who carried Qiao Anbang back to his house.

Qiao Anbang, who was drunk, got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, and when he finished his hands in a leisurely manner, he actually went in the wrong direction, and walked straight to another side room not far from his room, this side room is the house where Chu Yan lives, after returning to the city, although most of the soldiers have returned to the Longshan military camp, but Chu Yan, Qiao Anbang and Yali and others did not go back, but lived in the Qiao family's house.

Qiao Anbang pushed the door in and quickly climbed onto Chu Yan's bed, when Chu Yan found that someone had climbed into her bed, she was so shocked that she almost screamed, but when she found out that it was Qiao Anbang, she was stunned, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Without waiting for her to speak, Qiao Anbang pressed down on her, feeling the softness under his body, Qiao Anbang had a physiological reaction with the male surname, and began to undress in a daze, along with Chu Yan's clothes were also torn by him rudely, in a trance, Qiao Anbang seemed to set up Chu Yan's round and slender snow-white legs, and then broke his legs to both sides, and wiped a little spitting on Xiao Qiao Anbang's shiny head with his hand, and then pushed forward with all his might, and Xiao Anbang snorted and disappeared in it.

Chu Yanxiu's eyebrows were obviously furrowed, a heart-piercing pain came from her lower body, and two lines of aggrieved tears quietly slipped down her cheeks...... As time passed, the pain that pierced the heart gradually turned into bursts of tingling pleasure, and as the frequency of Qiao Anbang's chou movements accelerated, Chu Yan couldn't help but let out an inaudible gasp and moan.

Immediately afterwards, in the entire room, there was a clear and audible "pop" crash sound and Chu Yan's moving panting.

The next morning, Qiao Anbang, who didn't know how long he had been tossing last night, woke up leisurely, and before he opened his eyes, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body, as if he had done all night of farm work.

wanted to stretch his waist, but Qiao Anbang found that his right arm couldn't be pumped, as if something was suppressed, and sniffed with his nose, and actually smelled a woman's fragrance, as soon as he smelled it, Qiao Anbang concluded that this fragrance was definitely not from Yali.

He was horrified in his heart, he hurriedly opened his eyes, he didn't know if he didn't open them, he was startled, the white face in front of him was Chu Yan, at this time, Chu Yan was snuggling in his arms, because he had just twitched his arm, maybe his head was a little uncomfortable, Chu Yan's curved willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Qiao Anbang's heart was in turmoil at the moment, how could he sleep with Chu Yan, thinking of this, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but lift the quilt, only to see that both of them were naked, Chu Yan's snow-white delicate body was undoubtedly revealed, and he couldn't take care of it.

Qiao Anbang's face turned pale and muttered to himself: It's over, this is a big disaster, when Brother Chu Jingming comes back, he can't peel my skin, and Chu Yan is still his own sister-in-law in terms of name, what can I do?
