September is the harvest season, and September is even more fruitful.

Beijing chess and card street is bathed in bright sunshine, and the harvest season naturally makes people happy. In the presidential palace, Chen Jintang said with a happy expression: "Leng Yifei sent a telegram, Li Tianxiang commanded the advance column, Khalid led the West Road Detachment, and the southeast flanked attack, and after 10 days of fierce battles, successfully captured Kulen. At present, the Russian army has retreated to the Kyakhta front. It seems that there is no problem in completing the strategy of the Outer Mongolian grassland before winter. ”

"This was to be expected, Khalid successfully ambushed and annihilated a Russian integrated cavalry division at Uriya Sutai and laid the conditions for the capture of Kulen. In the past few months, Li Tianxiang took the initiative to attack, hundreds of large and small battles, accumulating small victories into big victories, eliminating more than 20,000 Russian cavalry, completely making the Khasakchi soldiers lose their fighting spirit, so Zuihou took Kulen smoothly. Tell Leng Yifei to stop the big military operation and form a capable rapid force to prevent a large-scale attack by the Russian army. The coalition headquarters changed their tactics, they wanted to trade time for space. In that case, we give him time, but in exchange for not space but failure. ”

Seeing Deng Zixuan's radiant and confident demeanor, Chen Jintang said with a smile: "Yes, the initiative of the war is in our hands, and we have the final say when and where to fight." As of late September, the eastern front has also been reported frequently, Bai Sheng has broken through the Han River defense line, and is advancing southward in great strides. The Japanese army has become a rout, and it is estimated that the Korean Peninsula will be taken by the end of October, and Chen Bing will have no problem with the Tsushima Strait. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "The coalition headquarters did not make a miscalculation, but the Japanese miscalculated. They thought they had received strong support from Western countries. will be able to defend the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese live in an island country for a long time, are self-contained, and short-sighted. Strategically they do not have outstanding figures. They thought that they could defend the Korean Peninsula with the backing of foreigners, but the Japanese underestimated our determination. He forgot that we have a tiger and wolf army that has been tested by the flames of war, he has forgotten how great the war potential of a unified land kingdom is, and he has forgotten that the Chinese nation has come through the flames of war. The history of the Chinese nation is a history of war. ”

Chen Jintang continued: "There is also good news from the Western Expeditionary Army, and at present, they are centered on Urumqi and have initially gained a firm foothold. Very passive at the beginning, the Russian army took advantage of the vast territory and carried out large-scale attacks. He Meng was-for-tat. The formation of a special combat team that has been fighting deep behind enemy lines has greatly alleviated the passive situation. The special operation you mentioned is beginning to bear fruit. "Good. Ordered He Meng, I will make the special combat team that has been tested by the fire of war stronger, let the special combat captain personally lead the team, and divide half of the men and horses back to the capital. I'm going to officially form special forces. ”

Deng Zixuan sighed slightly, and continued: "The time is ripe for the formation of special forces. In the future, special operations on the battlefield will play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort. At present, Western countries do not know anything about special operations, so I want to make special operations show their might. You have personally taken charge of this matter, and I have written an outline of the special operations and the detailed rules for the selection of soldiers, and you must strictly control the selection of the best soldiers in the special operations. The special forces are divided into two parts, land special forces and maritime special forces. "As you instructed, I'll get ready right away." Chen Jintang nodded solemnly.

"Report to the president, the chief of staff sent a telegram from the Mawei shipyard that the battleships Shanghai and Fujian were successfully launched." “haha！ Another piece of good news! I can't stop it. Let's sneak out tonight and have a good drink. I heard that there are many famous snacks in the capital, and the fried lamb tripe and bean juice that Wan'er bought back a few days ago are very appetizing to my appetite. I'll take you to the tooth sacrifice. "President, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go out alone in your current status?" Chen Jintang's face was embarrassed. Deng Zixuan smiled: "So I need you to arrange it, I think it's easy to find a reason." ”

Chen Jintang called the captain of the guard to discuss, and soon at the back door of the presidential palace, two carriages appeared. Deng Zixuan and Chen Jintang changed into civilian clothes and got into the first carriage, and the two guards also wore civilian clothes and got into the second carriage. The two carriages left Qipai Street and Daqing Gate and turned to the east. About half an hour later, they arrived at the Caikou market. The carriage stopped at the corner of the street, Deng Zixuan and Chen Jintang got off, and the two guards also got out of the car, vigilantly observing the surroundings and following from a distance.

"It's been half a year since this market opened, and it's my first time here, have you ever been here?" Deng Zixuan looked at the bustling crowd and said with interest. "How can I have time to visit here, if it wasn't for your proposal, I wouldn't have come today." "I heard Wan'er say that it is more lively here after dark, and it can be noisy until midnight." After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, he walked inside. There are a variety of snacks on both sides of the street, and the owners of the food stalls don't need to shout at all, and the guests will come there automatically.

When they came to the food stall, the two picked up a clean table and sat down, and a boss about 40 years old greeted: "How many plates do you have two gentlemen?" Deng Zixuan said without thinking: "Come to 10 plates of fried belly, and you can go next door and order two bowls of bean juice." "Good!" The boss shouted loudly, and the man brought up 10 plates of fried belly in turn, and the woman who bought bean juice next to him brought two bowls of bean juice with a smile. The people around didn't expect that the two prominent figures were just like ordinary diners.

After a while, the food stalls were overcrowded, and the surrounding diners were chatting while eating, many of them with foreign accents, obviously they were all from the capital for tourism or business. Naturally, the conversation among the surrounding diners is related to war, because it is the topic that people are most concerned about. Most of their news comes from newspapers, and there is also gossip, in short, it is all divine. Deng Zixuan eats very slowly, and it is rare to enjoy this pastime. At the beginning of the lanterns, lanterns are lit in front of all food stalls and shops, illuminating the streets.

Now we zoom out to the far north, and there are dense burial mounds on the south bank of the Kulun River. The sky is full of stars, the round moon hangs high in the sky, today is August 15th, and the moonlight of the mercury pours out the earth. At this moment, a war horse galloped from a distance, the war horse stopped in front of a tomb, and a major officer dismounted. After the Battle of Kulen, so-and-so was promoted to regimental commander. Today is August 15., and so-and-so is coming to visit so-and-so. The platoon commander was killed in the capture of Kulun.

A certain person carried a bottle of wine in one hand and a bag of food and fruit in the other. He first inserted three sticks of incense and lit them. Then put the fruit offerings and put them away, and then take out two wine glasses and fill them separately. Zuihou took out a cigarette and lit two cigarettes, one of which was inserted in front of the three sticks of incense. So-and-so raised his glass and muttered, "Brother." Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion, I came to see you. There are many comrades-in-arms sleeping here, and I don't think you will be lonely. ”

So-and-so then muttered: "Brother, you said that we and our brothers will have a good drink after taking down Cullen, let's get drunk and take a break today, come and have a toast!" So-and-so leaned his neck and drank the wine in his glass. Then pour another glass of wine slowly in front of the three incense sticks. So-and-so's eyes were a little moist and said: "Brother, after the war, I will take you back to my hometown!" "Soon. Slightly drunk, so-and-so fell asleep on the side of the grave bag, and in the dream, so-and-so and he frequently raised their glasses, and the two drank heartily.

Meanwhile. On the Han River on the Korean Peninsula. Soldiers gathered on the docks. Countless torches illuminate the river. The ferries shuttle back and forth in an orderly manner. "Commander, it's Seoul across the street!" The chief of staff excitedly. Bai Sheng looked at the pitch-black city and said: "The troops are advancing southward in great strides, and it seems that there is no problem in occupying the Korean Peninsula at the end of October, and we are two months ahead of schedule." "Yes! Not thinking of breaking through the Han River defense line, the Japanese army retreated in full. Except for the Han River defense line, the entire south is not in danger to defend, and the next step is to consider crossing the sea to fight! ”

Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "If the navy can't gain sea supremacy, it is impossible to launch a sea-crossing operation. At least not next year. Leng Yifei has caught the United States, and next year we can only watch the middle lane cluster develop its ambitions. Seeing Bai Sheng was a little depressed. The chief of staff changed the subject and said: "Headquarters order." All the Japanese prisoners of war were sent to China, and the demands were urgent. Bai Sheng said: "After He Meng gained a firm foothold in Urumqi, it seems that the headquarters is going to speed up the construction of roads, and you should hurry up this matter." After Bai Sheng finished speaking, he walked towards the ferry.

On the south bank of the Han River, a dense array of tents appeared in a clearing, each with a striking Red Cross, which was the site of the First Army's field hospital. The battalion commander Zhuang Lei dismounted in front of the field hospital, and he tied his horse to the pillar and hurriedly walked inside. The Battle of the Han River was fought very hard, and their battalion suffered two-thirds of its casualties. In particular, the first company suffered the greatest losses, with only a few dozen people left, among whom the long leg was killed, and the company commander Fan Biao and the platoon commander Tie Ta were wounded. After breaking through the defense line on the Han River, the replenishment of the 1st Army rested for a few days.

During this period, Zhuang Lei was busy receiving recruits and integrating troops, and did not have time to visit Fan Biao and Tie Tower. Today is August 15, and tomorrow the troops will set off, so Zhuang Lei took time to come to the field hospital, first, to visit them, and second, to say goodbye to them. Walking into the tent, I saw that the tower was getting tired of a nurse, Fan Biao had a bandage on his head, and he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. "Battalion commander, you're here, you still know to come and see us!" The tower was dissatisfied, but his eyes were full of surprise. Fan Biao opened his eyes and seemed to get up.

Zhuang Lei hurriedly walked over and said, "Biedong, be careful to crack the wound." Fan Biao couldn't speak, and his eyes showed an anxious gaze. Zhuang Lei understood his mood and said: "Brother, I understand your feelings, after returning to China, take care of your injuries and strive to return to the army as soon as possible." Fan Biao nodded. Battalion commander, can you tell them that you don't want me to go back to China and recuperate here. Zhuang Lei walked over and said with a smile: "I don't have this right, you should return to China with peace of mind, recover from your injuries as soon as possible, and return to the team as soon as possible, and rest assured that your place will be reserved for you." ”

Zhuang Lei continued: "I heard that you are injured in the lower body, there is no problem with the baby!" The young nurse's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly hid. Battalion commander, shrapnel hit the lower abdomen, almost injured the baby. At that time, the flesh and blood were blurred, and I thought I would become a eunuch in this life! When I woke up at that time, the first thing I did was Mo Baobao, but fortunately, it was all right. The wounded around him burst out laughing. Zhuang Lei opened the child and glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's good that you didn't hurt the baby, otherwise you will have to explain it in this life!" ”

Zhuang Lei took out the moon cakes and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I specially went to see the comrades with long legs and sleeping here, and I put all the moon cakes in front of their graves." Speaking of the long legs and the brothers who died in battle, Zhuang Lei's voice was a little strange, and his expression became solemn. Fan Biao closed his eyes when he heard this, and the faces of many good brothers such as flower faces and long legs appeared in front of him. Iron Tower's eyes were a little red, and he fell silent.

After a long time, Zhuang Lei held Fan Biao's hand and said: "The troops will leave tomorrow morning, I should go back, cherish!" Zhuang Lei raised his hand to salute the army, Fan Biao and the iron tower saluted in return, at this moment, the people in them reflect the iron will of the iron-blooded soldiers, they will continue to fight, complete the unfulfilled wish of the brothers who are sleeping on this land.
