An unexpected surprise

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Shanhaiguan, where the Northeast Field Army was stationed, welcomed a group of special guests. Zhu Qiaolin and others, who were escorted by a guard battalion, finally succeeded in crossing the tight line of the Japanese North China Front in the Pingjin area after a long journey of half a month, and entered the area controlled by the Northeast Field Army, the area around Shanhaiguan....

Just when Shanhaiguan, the majestic posture of the world's first Xiongguan, just appeared in everyone's field of vision. A well-equipped and well-trained unit of the Northeast Field Army, about a battalion, appeared in everyone's eyes ....

"Comrade, who are you?" Walking in front of Zhu Qiaolin and the others, the battalion commander who led the team saluted first, and then asked Zhu Qiaolin and the others.

"This comrade, I am Zhu Qiaolin, deputy director of the Communications Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and this is Battalion Wang of the Guard Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. We sealed the order of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and went to the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army to report. May I ask who you are..."Zhu Qiaolin quickly replied. Then, he replied with a cheerful face.

"It's Director Zhu and Battalion Commander Wang....I am Zhang Quan, commander of the first regiment and one battalion of the Northeast Field Army Guard Division, and I came to Shanhaiguan to welcome Director Zhu's arrival on the order of the head of the headquarters. I would like to ask Director Zhu to go with me to Shanhaiguan for a night's rest, and tomorrow morning, we will set off to Fengtian City, the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army, and report to the head of the headquarters..." Battalion Commander Zhang Quan's face immediately showed a smile of excitement, and then, facing the two people, he replied with a happy face.

"Camp Commander Zhang, you are the hosts, and we are the guests. When I arrived at the place of the Northeast Field Army, all my actions were subject to your arrangements..."Seeing the polite Zhang Quan battalion commander in front of him, Zhu Qiaolin's face immediately showed a trace of embarrassment. Then, he replied very cheerfully.

As soon as Zhu Qiaolin's words fell, Battalion Commander Wang of the Guard Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, who was ordered to escort, immediately spoke: "Director Zhu, since the comrades from the Northeast Field Army who came to greet him have arrived, then our escort task will be completed. So, Battalion Commander Zhang, we plan to set off right away and return to the headquarters to resume our lives. After all, we've been out for more than half a month, and the security forces around the headquarters aren't too much, so I'm a little worried..."

"Battalion Commander Wang, since the military situation is urgent, then I won't keep you... On behalf of the headquarters, I prepared something for Battalion Commander Wang, hoping that Battalion Commander Wang would be able to subordinate him. Xiao Wang, bring us the gifts we prepared for Battalion Commander Wang and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army...."As soon as Zhang Quan's words fell, dozens of mules and horses full of weapons, ammunition, and grain and grass appeared in front of everyone under the traction of dozens of soldiers.

Pointing to dozens of mules and horses, Zhang Quan said: "Camp Commander Wang, here, the ten mules, horses and camels are dry food, which is reserved for everyone to use on the road. The weapons and ammunition on the ten mules and horses are a gift from me to you on behalf of the headquarters. As for the remaining forty mules and horses, the camel is also a batch of weapons and ammunition, which is a batch of weapons and ammunition that the head of the headquarters wants me to pass on to you for escort and hand over to the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army0..."

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Zhang, our guard battalion will definitely deliver this batch of weapons and ammunition to the headquarters safely. Please rest assured, Camp Commander Zhang..."Without hesitation, in the face of Zhang Quan's gaze, Camp Chief Wang accepted these gifts very decisively, and then replied. Turning, commanding dozens of warriors behind him, taking all the mules and horses, and starting to retreat ....

Outside Mukden City, on the road about ten kilometers away from the city gate, a battalion of troops was slowly moving towards Mukden City, where the headquarters of the Northeast Field Army was located. And this unit is the more than 600 commanders and fighters of the first regiment and one battalion of the guard division who were responsible for welcoming the arrival of Zhu Qiaolin and others.

Although the weather in the northeast is not particularly bad at present, it is still very uncomfortable to ride on a war horse and march in the cold wind. After another half-day march, the pace of the group's march slowed down a lot. I looked at the Northeast Plain, which was still barren and white, without any people. Zhu Qiaolin, as the only female comrade in the entire army, couldn't help but have a trace of pain on her face.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, it's been a morning, how far is it from Fengtian City..."Riding on a war horse, feeling the biting cold wind around him, Zhu Qiaolin tightened the military coat tightly draped on his body, and then asked Battalion Commander Zhang Quan beside him. ,

"Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, there is only less than ten kilometers left from Fengtian City. At our current marching speed, in a maximum of four hours, we can rush to Mukden City and report to the headquarters. In this way, comrades, all get off the horse and rest, eat some dry food, and drink some hot water. Half an hour later, we'll set off again..."Zhang Quan, as the battalion commander, looked at Zhu Qiaolin, who had a weak system around him, and replied thoughtfully. Immediately, he commanded decisively to the instructor beside him.

"Thank you, Camp Commander Zhang...."Facing the empathetic Zhang Quan in front of him, Zhu Qiaolin replied with a grateful face.

In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed, and the days slowly dimmed as time passed. And just when everyone felt tired again. The walls of Mukden Castle appeared in front of everyone.

"Here, Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, there is Fengtian City in front. As long as we enter the city, with the protection of the city wall, we will not be so cold...."Pointing to the familiar gate of Fengtian City not far away, Zhang Quan said with a moving face.

In this way, the group, after passing the inspection of the garrison at the city gate, smoothly entered the three eastern provinces, which can be called the most prosperous city, Fengtian City...

"Big... It's huge... The entire Fengtian City is even more prosperous than Taiyuan....There are so many people...."This is Zhu Qiaolin's first sigh after entering Fengtian City, looking at the crowded streets and the bustling night scene. However, as the first time she entered Fengtian City, she obviously did not have extra time to enjoy the night view of Fengtian City. Because, under the leadership of Zhang Quan and others, the group has quickly rushed to the Dongye General Headquarters located in the center of the city.

"Report to the chief, the first regiment and one battalion of the guard division, ordered to meet the comrades of the Eighth Route Army, have successfully completed the task. At present, these comrades have arrived at the door, please instruct the chief...."In the war room, seeing Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar who was still sticking to his position, Zhang Quan walked in quickly, and immediately reported....

"It's coming... You mean, Comrade Zhu Qiaolin is here, right at the door..."After a short period of shock, political commissar Luo Ronghuan reacted and asked with a look of surprise.

"Yes, the chief, including Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, a total of 16 comrades, have all gone to the headquarters...."Zhang Quan replied affirmatively.

"Okay, you go back first. In addition, Zhu Qiaolin, who called Comrade Zhu Qiaolin to me and was able to make Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua think about it day and night, and Luo Ronghuan, as his partner, can be said to be very curious. As soon as Zhang Quan's words fell, Luo Ronghuan ordered with an anxious face.

"Yes, Chief..."

Soon, a pleasant voice reached the ears of political commissar Luo Ronghuan.

"The head of the report, Zhu Qiaolin, deputy director of the Communications Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, was ordered to come to report and ask the chief for instructions...."

Raising his head, a heroic and energetic female officer stood in front of him. Then, a pair of bright eyes, motionless and motionless, waited for his answer.

"Huh? Are you Comrade Zhu Qiaolin? Luo Ronghuan asked rhetorically.

"Yes, chief, I am Zhu Qiaolin...."Zhu Qiaolin replied affirmatively.

"Okay, okay, Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, you really deserve to be born in a scholarly family, you have both bearing and demeanor, and you are a rare female comrade in my Northeast Field Army..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan ordered very decisively.

"Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, as far as I know, in the course of your work at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters gave you a high evaluation. For such an outstanding comrade as you, on behalf of the Northeast Field Army, I welcome you. So starting today, you will work in the Telecommunications Service at Headquarters as the Chief of the Telecommunications Service at Headquarters. As for the fifteen comrades who came with you to our Northeast Field Army, I will be assigned to several corps headquarters according to their specialties and continue to engage in radio work. How about it, Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, do you have any thoughts on this arrangement? ”

"Report chief, I have no ideas, I promise to complete the task assigned to me by the headquarters..."Although I don't know why the political commissar in front of me attaches so much importance to himself, he has just arrived, and he has made himself the post of director of the telecommunications department. However, as a soldier, she still answered very confidently about the orders of the political commissar.

"Okay, Staff Officer Wang, arrange a room immediately, so that Director Zhu and his comrades can have a good rest. From tomorrow, everyone will officially start working...", "Yes, chief..."Zhu Qiaolin replied very cheerfully.

Looking at Zhu Qiaolin and the others who were leaving quickly, a smile immediately appeared on the face of political commissar Luo Ronghuan. Immediately, he whispered an order to the orderly beside him.

"Xiao Wang, I'll give you a task, and immediately call the chief of staff and Deputy Chief of Staff Li to me, and say that there is something important to discuss. This time, I must prepare a big surprise for the commander-in-chief. ”

"Yes, Chief...."

Half an hour later, Zuo Quan, chief of staff, and Li Qing, deputy chief of staff, who thought that there was some emergency at the headquarters, felt the war room of the headquarters in a dusty manner. Seeing the political commissar with a leisurely face in the war room, the faces of the two people immediately lù doubts were raised. Then, almost in unison, he asked rhetorically.

"Political commissar, is there something wrong, calling us in such a hurry, what about the commander-in-chief, why didn't you see the commander-in-chief?"

"Be quiet..."Luo Ronghuan glared fiercely at the two partners in front of him before speaking.

"I am hiding this matter from the commander-in-chief, and I am going to give the commander-in-chief a surprise....The situation is like this, Deputy Chief of Staff Li, Comrade Zhu Qiaolin, I have already asked General Manager Peng to come, and now I have reported to the Telecommunications Department and assumed the post of director of the Telecommunications Division. Lao Yang and Director Peng are not at the headquarters, so the next thing will depend on the three of us....Deputy Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, first introduce to the Chief of Staff the specific relationship between the Commander-in-Chief and Comrade Zhu Qiaolin. Then, the three of us were discussing a way to create an opportunity for the two of us to meet..."

In this way, after more than an hour of conspiracy, the three of them, all with satisfied smiles, left the war room...

Early the next morning, just when Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua felt the war room. Surprisingly, in the entire war room, except for one staff officer on duty, not a single person was nowhere to be seen. However, Liu Hua, as the commander-in-chief, did not feel any surprises, after all, there is nothing big happening at the current headquarters, maybe the political commissar and others are resting now.

As usual, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hua first came to his seat and began to read for the night, when the headquarters received telegrams from all over the country. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and Liu Hua, who had finished reading the telegram, was just about to get up and move his muscles. A pleasant and somewhat familiar voice reached Liu Hua's ears, making Liu Hua have a tenderness hidden in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't help but be moved....

"Report...."

"Come in...."However, after a short period of shock, Liu Hua still recovered his emotions as soon as possible. He didn't raise his head, and replied casually.

"Report to the chief, this is a telegram just sent by Deputy Commander Yang of Meihekou, please review it..."

Walking into the war room and seeing Liu Hua who was burying his head in front of him, Zhu Qiaolin didn't expect that the chief who was close at hand in front of him was Liu Hua who he thought about day and night. So, he didn't make any special moves, but replied very decisively. Stretched out his right hand and handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Hua

"Well, Lao Yang's telegram. Quick, show me...."Liu Hua raised his head and stretched out his right hand, preparing the telegram in Zhu Qiaolin's hand in front of him. However, when Liu Hua's eyes were fixed on Zhu Qiaolin's face in front of him, the whole person suddenly froze there. Even the outstretched hands stopped in mid-air, motionless...

At the same time, Zhu Qiaolin, who was standing in front of Liu Hua, saw Liu Hua's familiar face in front of him, and he also stayed in place for the first time, motionless. The right hand holding the telegram was as if it had been frozen, and it couldn't move....

In this way, the two men stared at each other for a full minute. Liu Hua, who was already churning in his heart, reacted from the shock. Then, he said with a sluggish face: "Qiaolin... How did you end up here and when did you get here? ”

"Why are you...."Hearing Liu Hua's question in front of him, Zhu Qiaolin also couldn't help but exclaim. Then, under Liu Hua's surprised gaze, he quickly dropped the telegram in his hand, turned around, and rushed out of the war room with an embarrassed face and rushed to the street.

Seeing Zhu Qiaolin fleeing in front of him, Liu Hua, who had always been decisive in killing, was stunned and at a loss. However, at this moment, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, chief of staff Zuo Quan, and deputy chief of staff Li Qing walked in quickly. Then, facing Liu Hua, who was still stunned in front of him, he reminded loudly. "Commander-in-chief, what are you still doing in a daze, don't chase after it quickly." Be careful of any accidents that Comrade Qiaolin has outside, this is your only chance, you must seize it..."

"Yes... Qiaolin, wait for me...."It was only at this time that Liu Hua reacted from the shock. Then, following closely behind Zhu Qiaolin, he quickly rushed out of the war room...

Looking at Liu Hua, who quickly rushed out of the war room, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan said with a smile: "Political commissar, I really didn't expect that our commander-in-chief also has an anxious and tender side?" It seems that as Deputy Chief of Staff Li said, it won't be long before a few of us will be drinking the Commander-in-Chief's happy wine..."

"Chief of Staff, I also think that it won't be long before we have a happy drink... Xiao Li, immediately took a few people and followed behind the commander-in-chief. Remember, we must ensure the safety of the commander-in-chief and Comrade Zhu Qiaolin. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan also nodded very approvingly.

It wasn't until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky outside was slowly darkening, that the commander-in-chief, Liu Hua, appeared again in front of the door of the war room with a smile on his face. Then, political commissar Luo Ronghuan spoke first.

"Commander-in-chief, how about it, when will we be able to drink the wedding wine of you and Comrade Qiaolin?"

Seeing the three people with smiles on their faces in front of him, Liu Hua did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked quickly in front of Luo Ronghuan, and said solemnly: "Political commissar, I have asked Qiaolin today, it was you who asked Mr. Peng to transfer Qiaolin." Here I represent Qiaolin, bring myself, thank you. Without your help, maybe we will never see each other again in this life. Thank you, Commissar...."

"Commander-in-Chief, be polite to me. By the way, you haven't answered my question just now, when will you and Comrade Qiaolin get married, and when will we be able to drink your happy wine? Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan waved his hand and continued to ask.

"This has not been discussed yet, after all, we haven't seen each other for several years, and it's so nice to meet all of a sudden today. However, please rest assured that the political commissar, chief of staff, and deputy chief of staff will tell you as soon as we decide. At the same time, please also be the witnesses of the marriage between me and Qiaolin..."Liu Hua shook his head and replied embarrassedly.

"Okay, it's decided, this witness, I'm decided...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan replied without hesitation, his face was full of smiles...
