Thanks to the tips of the Wind Whisperers, with your support, the rabbit will continue to break around.

——————————————————————

With the smooth progress of the incorporation work, the last battle of the Long March, the Battle of Wuqi Town, known as the "Tail Cutting Campaign", was successfully concluded. Unlike in history, when only two regiments were annihilated and three regiments were defeated, the Central Red Army broke out with unimaginable combat effectiveness after the rearmament, and drew a symbol of the success of the Long March in the form of total annihilation.

After receiving the news that Bai Fengxiang and others had been wiped out, Chang Kaishen, chairman of the People's Party's Military Committee, who was far away in Jinling, suddenly resounded throughout the rest of the country.

"Niang Xipi, Bai Fengxiang, what are they eating? Six well-equipped cavalry regiments were completely annihilated by a group of remnants, which is really a big joke in the world! ”

Facing Chang Kaishen in anger, the staff of the attendant room did not dare to speak, and only after Chang Kaishen vented, Yu Jishi, who was closest to him, whispered: "Principal, the situation of this battle is very strange. It stands to reason that Division Commander Bai has three regiments, Division Commander Guo has two regiments, plus Commander Ma's regiment, and the six regiments are all the most elite cavalry regiments, with a mortar company and a heavy machine gun company. Such a majestic strength in the face of the Red Bandit Army, which has traveled thousands of miles and is already a tired division, even if the command is wrong and careless, at most it will lose the battle, and it is impossible for the whole army to be annihilated, they are all cavalry, can't they still run if they can't fight? ”

After Yu Jishi finished speaking, Chen Bui continued: "According to the battle report sent up, Ma Peiqing was the first to encounter the enemy, and was blocked by the Red Bandit Army for a day at Wang Panzi, ten miles outside Tiebian City, and on the day of the battle, two planes we sent to support were shot down. ”

"The most surprising thing is that the Red Bandit Army's ammunition seems to have been fully replenished, otherwise with that intensity of fighting, the Red Bandit Army would have run out of ammunition and food long ago." Chen Guofu on the side added, "Therefore, we guess whether the Red Bandits received assistance from Soviet Russia in the northwest, otherwise we cannot explain the fact that the six cavalry regiments of Division Commander Bai and others were not only defeated, but also completely surrounded, and finally the whole army was annihilated." ”

Chang Kaishen also found it hard to believe that the six well-equipped cavalry regiments were wiped out by a group of remnants of the army, and after listening to the analysis of the attendants, he could only believe that the red bandits had received assistance from Soviet Russia in the northwest, after all, it was relatively close to Soviet Russia, so he asked Dai Li, who had not spoken: "Yunong, do you have any specific information there?" ”

"Back to the principal, the northwest has always been the territory of the Ma Jiajun, and now there is another northeast army, and my subordinates have not completely penetrated there for the time being, but they have begun to deploy. According to the intelligence officer's report, the Red Bandit Army did receive a large amount of material aid, as for the source is not clear for the time being, this is the information I just received, and I want to report it to the principal. ”

"Did the Red Bandits really get help?" After confirming the information, Chang Kaishen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When everyone guessed the source of supplies of the Central Red Army, the Central Red Army at the end of the battle was cleaning the battlefield, and because of the new equipment, almost everyone had a body armor and Kevlar fiber helmets, the casualties of the Red Army soldiers were directly reduced by nearly 70 percent, and most of the fallen on the battlefield were the Northeast Army and the Ma Jiajun.

Since he couldn't help much with his front finger, seeing that everyone was busy but he was the only one idle, Li Keji always felt ashamed and embarrassed, so he also followed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Although he had already experienced the baptism of war, Li Keji was no longer as uncomfortable as he was at the beginning, and the apocalyptic ruins after the war still touched him very much. Since he was born, there has been no war in the Republic, and although conflicts erupt all over the world at any time, the feeling of war has become more and more distant from his generation.

Perhaps it was the days of peace that were too satisfying, and the image of the soldier gradually changed from the loveliest person to the so-called violent machine, the tool of the ruler, and the things that slandered and insulted the soldier became more and more common, and sometimes he couldn't help but wonder what happened to the people.

Li Keji has not seen the ruins after the war, nor has he not seen the tragic scene, originally thought that he had been numb to the wood, but when he faced it with his own eyes and was immersed in the scene, he realized how cruel the real situation was.

Once, the battlefield was the yearning of a hot-blooded man, but when faced with the ruins after the war, Li Keji felt that he did not like war at all.

When cleaning the battlefield, looking at the devastation, Li Keji seemed like a machine, he didn't dare to imagine it, he didn't want to think about it, he didn't know when he would cry.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, the bodies of all the sacrificed Red Army soldiers were buried on a hill called Victory Mountain, and when he saw the body of Li Erniu, a soldier of the cadre regiment who was carried back by himself, Li Keji, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't help crying.

Li Keji yearns for heroes, and when he was a child, he would always be in awe when he studied articles such as Dong Cunrui's bombing of the bunker and Huang Jiguang's eye-catching blocking. Even when he grew up, sacrificing his life for his country was still the most honorable thing he thought was the most honorable thing, but the idea of the most important thing in reading made him miss the opportunity to be a soldier.

He imagined blocking bullets for his comrades, imagined flying to save grenades, but never imagined that a soldier he had never met would block bullets for himself in order to protect himself.

Although it has been a few days, the scene where Li Erniu threw himself down seems to have happened in front of him, and since he relaxed, he has always been surrounded by Li Erniu's smiling face in front of him.

Li Keji regretted it very much, regretting that he was too emotional at that time, and he didn't even find the crisis around him, otherwise Li Erniu would not have sacrificed to protect him.

Li Keji hugged Li Erniu's body and cried too sadly, and the soldiers next to him who were responsible for burying the remains of the soldiers couldn't continue to work for a while, and they wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say.

The soldiers who buried the body didn't know how to persuade him, but Lu Wei sent by Yang Yinong on the side had to stand up and persuade him, he understood Li Keji's sadness very well, although the director did not state Li Keji's identity, but he had already told them that Li Keji was not born in poverty like them, and he did not have a correct concept of the cruelty of war.

The brutality of the war was long accustomed, and although it was the sacrifice of their sad comrades-in-arms, they seldom showed it, and most of the time they turned their grief into strength and continued to adhere to the revolution unswervingly.

Li Keji does not have their experience, so it is always easy to lose control when dealing with such sad feelings, and this is the time for political workers to play. Although Lovells is not a political worker, the people of the Security Bureau need to learn more things, and it is not impossible to take on some comfort work for the time being.

"Mr. Li, the Erniu warrior has fulfilled the glorious mission of a Red Army soldier, and although he has left us, his spirit will always remain with us. Now we should let the Erniu soldier go to peace, turn grief into strength, inherit the revolutionary spirit of the Erniu soldier, and complete his unfinished revolutionary cause. ”

Listening to the consolation in his ears, Li Keji naturally knew that unnecessary sadness was useless, but where did others know that if it weren't for his carelessness, Li Erniu would not have sacrificed at all. If it was a normal sacrifice, it would have been fine, but this time it was he who killed Li Erniu, how could this not make him feel guilty, how could he not make him sad.

Although the sadness is still the same, Li Keji also knows that Li Erniu must be put into the ground, and after burying Li Erniu's body, he felt guilty and kowtowed a few times in front of the grave, and every time he made a great noise, he was so frightened that Lu Wei next to him thought that he wanted to find a short-term view, and was trying to dissuade him, but he saw Li Keji knocking the ground out of the big hole, and there was no injury on his forehead except for the dirt.

After leaving the martyr's cemetery, although Li Keji restrained the sadness in his heart, he still couldn't let go of the sacrifice of Li Erniu, and thought to himself what he should do for him while he was alive. So he went to the cadre group to find Cheng Zhigeng, wanting to ask if Li Erniu still had a family, he thought that Li Erniu would at least help him take care of his family because of his sacrifice.

Cheng Zhigeng arranged the work of incorporation, but he didn't expect Li Keji to come back to him, so he smiled and said: "Xiao Li, aren't you, the God of Wealth, in the command headquarters, why did you come here to me?" Is there anything good that thinks of me Lao Cheng? The "Special Operations" you gave me last time was really a good thing, but there are a lot of new terms and new equipment in it that I haven't seen before, and it's a little difficult to understand. ”

"A new noun? New gear? Li Keji is not a military fan, he has never read the professional books he gave to Cheng Zhigeng, at that time Cheng Zhigeng asked him for gifts like a scoundrel, he thought that Cheng Zhigeng had a very high talent for special warfare, intelligence warfare, etc., so he gave him this kind of book. He was also a little distracted when he delivered the book, and abridged everything related to history and politics, but he didn't expect that there would be new terms and new clothes. Although I really wanted to ask about Li Erniu, I still said politely: "To be honest, these books are too professional, I have a headache when I see them, and I just collect them and play them." You see what new terms and new equipment there are, and I'll look up what it means when I go back, and help you get the equipment by the way. ”

"Really? I knew you kid had something good to do. There are a lot of things in the book sent by Li Keji that are far beyond this era, Cheng Zhigeng can vaguely guess something, but he doesn't dare to believe it, he just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Li Keji to give him complete equipment and information in order to solve his doubts, and he was happy for a while.

After being happy, Cheng Zhigeng continued: "By the way, you kid hasn't said why you have time to come to me?" ”

"I want to ask about the situation of Li Erniu, a soldier of the Fifth Company, does he still have family members at home? I ......"
