Chen Xilian, the new commander of the 385th Brigade, was standing in front of a sand table, smoking a cigarette with a serious face, as if he was thinking about something. I don't know how long it took, Chief of Staff Fan Chaoli suddenly strode into the war room with a telegram: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, the latest situation...... The news just sent by the division headquarters said that just yesterday, the 89th Regiment of the Central Army stationed in Pingyao County defeated the Japanese Sakurai Brigade coming from the direction of Linfen in their own defense area. It is said that because of this incident, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, was furious, and at first claimed that he would send the regiment commander Tie Haichuan to the Military Judge Advocate General's Office to await trial. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, had a more subtle attitude towards this matter, and he went so far as to say that it was a combat order issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs to the Tie Haichuan Regiment, and that the 89th Regiment was just carrying out military orders. Not only that, it is said that the Chongqing Military and Political Department also specially issued a commendation order to Tie Haichuan and the entire 89th Regiment, and it seems that 100,000 oceans were allocated to them. Brigade commander, this time our Chairman Jiang is really 'building an airplane inside a tulou for the first time in the ——— world'! We have never seen him so happy when the Eighth Route Army won a battle, at most it was just a verbal commendation or something, and he didn't even prepare weapons and ammunition for us, this time it's strange, when did he become so active? ”

Chen Xilian threw the cigarette butt in his hand everywhere, sneered and said, "Nonsense, didn't you say it just now?" The other side is the Central Army. You didn't listen to what that said? said that the Central Army was raised by his mother, the Jin Sui Army was raised by his stepmother, and our Eighth Route Army was raised by his mother. That's Lao Jiang's lineage, let's not talk about the lineage in the eyes of others, we can't even mix the brand of the miscellaneous army, so we will be directly classified into the circle of bandits! ”

Chief of Staff Fan nodded thoughtfully: "But this 89th Regiment is really tough, and it can be regarded as not discrediting the Central Army." It is said that this Sakurai Brigade is the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Linfen, and has been dominant in the southwest of Shanxi for many years, and has fought with our Eighth Route Army, with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, as well as local bandits, since the start of the Anti-Japanese War, there has hardly been any defeat, it can be said that it is notorious and full of evil. Our division had to clean up this Sakurai brigade several times in the past few years, but in the end, they all let them run. But I didn't think about it, it was actually planted in the hands of the national army stationed in Pingyao County, which is really incomprehensible......"

"Tell me, then, why can't you figure it out?" Brigade Commander Chen still focused his attention on the sand table in front of him, and would hold a pair of arms to his chest from time to time.

Chief of Staff Fan simply got straight to the point and said: "Judging from the information provided by the internal line of the division headquarters, this Sakurai Brigade was not defeated in the battle with the 89th Regiment, to be precise, it was lured into the city by the Kuomintang defenders stationed in Pingyao County, and then waited for an opportunity to annihilate it. It is said that the Japanese army's entry into the 89th regimental defense area was discussed in advance between the top level of the Jinsui Army and the headquarters of the Japanese First Army stationed in Jin. This Sakurai brigade wanted to ask the defenders of the 89th Regiment to open the door and let them go under the pretext of 'collecting the ashes of the soldiers', but the main force was fiercely attacked by the defenders of the 89th Regiment soon after entering the city, and more than half of the Sakurai Brigade was killed and wounded, and the commander Sakurai was also killed. It is worth mentioning that the remnants of the Japanese army were blocked by the second battalion of the 89th Regiment on the highway line fleeing to Linfen, and the battle lasted until midnight, and the Japanese fugitive troops were completely annihilated. ”

Brigade Commander Chen said with a smile: "It seems that Lao Jiang's subordinates still have a lot of hard bones, dare to fight tough battles, and can also fight tough battles!" Like us, they all have a bitter enmity with the Japanese. I think we should also look at these friendly forces from a different angle, and not all of them are pro-Japanese and capitulationists, and most of them still have a conscience and blood. On the frontal battlefield, the main force of the national army fought a lot of vicious battles with the devils and killed many people. ”

"That's right, this 89th Regiment commander Tie Haichuan is indeed not a bear in the war against Japan, and he has made some famous achievements in the past few years in the Shanxi garrison. I heard that he also famously said that if one day he or his troops met the Japanese army on a narrow road, no matter how big the difference in strength between the two sides was, the Japanese army standing opposite him had only two choices: die or roll. Instead, he had two choices: win or die. It really sounds like a sad song and easy water......"

"Alas, I heard that this Tie Haichuan seems to have some friendship with Yang Longfei's kid, the relationship between the two seems to have been good when they were in the national army, and they have also cooperated a few times in the war against Japan, is that the case?"

Chief of Staff Fan nodded and said: "That's the case, these two people graduated from the first six phases of Huangpu, and they were already the commanders of the main forces of the Central Army before the start of the Anti-Japanese War." Oh, and the commander of the third regiment of our division, Fang Luocheng, it is said that the three of them were called the 'Iron Triangle' among the officers of the Central Army's Young Zhuang faction, and they were a group of trump cards of Chen Cheng, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in the Third War Zone. ”

Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know how Yang Longfei's kid is doing now?" It's been five or six days since he was injured, and this guy was admitted to the hospital coldly, and I felt as if my heart was empty, and I didn't know if this comrade brother woke up or not......"

"I heard that Political Commissar Xie said that he was still in a coma, but the fever has subsided, the blood pressure has also gone up, and the condition has been relatively stable, the key is that I don't know when people will wake up, and what we can do can only wait slowly......"

……

Gao Ya finished eating from the cafeteria and went straight back to his room. Every time she goes in and out, she always has to inadvertently glance at Yang Longfei, who is lying unconscious on the bed, and then the corners of her mouth will subconsciously bend upward, revealing a relieved smile. This seems to have become her daily compulsory homework, and even the nurses have found that Dean Gao, who is usually not smiling, seems to be much more cheerful recently, and will take the initiative to greet people when she sees them, and she is more polite than before. The most important thing is that Dean Gao has rarely sighed lately, and his face is always full of smiles.

After eating, Gao Ya sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping man in front of him with slightly rough skin, and a warm smile appeared on his face again. She was looking at each other with an appreciative hero's gaze, but she didn't expect that after fourteen years, the two would meet in such a way, and it was still when the other party was injured and unconscious. Looking back on it now, Gao Ya still feels that it is so unbelievable.

Suddenly, a slight, hoarse cough came from Yang Longfei's slightly open lips, and his body, which was almost completely wrapped in bandages and gauze, trembled slightly. Gao Ya was so surprised that she almost screamed. She immediately ran to the table and brought a stethoscope to check his heart rate, and tried to call the other party: "Head Yang, Head Yang......"

Under Gao Ya's unremitting call, the corners of Yang Longfei's eyes and eyelashes also began to tremble slightly, and the eyes that had been closed for six days finally opened...... Gao Ya's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she bit her lip tightly, trying to restrain her emotions. The whites of Yang Longfei's eyes were a little cloudy, but those bright eyes were still shining and exuding vitality.

This is the first person Yang Longfei saw when he opened his eyes after he was reborn, and the first question that came to mind from his chaotic mind was: Who is this girl? It looks familiar, but I can't remember it......

Gao Ya found that Yang Longfei seemed to have lost her language function, her lips were slightly open but she couldn't speak. It can be seen that he wants to talk very much, but he is more than willing to do it. Every time I opened my mouth, I was silently snorting for a few seconds, and when I saw that I couldn't speak, I had to close my lips in frustration.

This was the first time the two looked at each other after fourteen years, Gao Ya was so excited, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and the tears surging in her eyes trickled out like a gurgling stream, flowing down the corners of her eyes to her chin, and then from her chin to tears fell on Yang Longfei's face. Yang Longfei blinked as if evading, and accidentally touched his wound that had not yet recovered, and a huge pain arose. He only felt as if someone was cutting his own flesh with a knife, and he couldn't help but gasp a few times, and cold sweat was squeezed out drop by drop along the pores of his skin. The severe pain caused Yang Longfei, who had just woken up, to fall into a coma again......

Gao Ya wiped away her tears helplessly, and after folding the quilt again for Yang Longfei, she still stood up and walked out of the house with some sobs. After leaving the room, Gao Ya found that Fang Luocheng, the head of the third regiment, was chatting with Wang Bingcheng, director of the Political Department, in the courtyard.

As soon as Director Wang walked out of the office, he bumped into Fang Luocheng, who came to the hospital to visit the patient, and saw that the other party was still carrying things in large bags and small bags, so he took the initiative to approach and greet him: "Yo, isn't this Head Fang?" Which gust of wind is blowing you? ”

Fang Luocheng teased with an unserious look: "What I said is this, except for your Director Wang's wealth and wind that can here, who else can there be?" What's the matter, Director Wang? Recently, this political account has been calculated like this, and how much has it earned? ”

Director Wang pretended to be serious and said, "Alas, don't dare to say this. It's not that your regiment commander doesn't know the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, what kind of wealth can I make as the director of the political department of a field hospital? An official with a big sesame seed, do you still think I am a financial officer of the Kuomintang? ”

"Ho, an official with a big sesame seed? Your Director Wang is not very old, and his tone is not small. If you want to say that, I'll really have to give you a good break. You said that you, the director of the Political Department, can get mixed up at the deputy regimental level without shooting guns or working hard, and you are about to be on an equal footing with Lao Tzu and me? What else do you not be satisfied with? ”

"Look, look, I haven't said anything yet, you have a preconceived idea? Alas, Head Fang, did you come to the hospital with a big bag or a visit? Director Wang hurriedly changed the topic.

Fang Luocheng replied unceremoniously: "Is there a difference?" If I don't come here to see people, why am I here with you? Good guy, it's been more than 30 miles from our regiment station to here, and I've been walking on a horse, so you have nothing to do when I'm full? ”

"Ahem, look at what you said, don't say you're full, it's okay to come on an empty stomach......" Director Wang rolled up his sleeves, stretched out the watch on the wrist of his left arm, pointed to the time on it and said, "Well, look, it's only been a short time since dinner, and I estimate that there will be some food left in the room." Head Fang, have you ever eaten it? If you haven't eaten yet, I'll take you to the room and eat a little to fill your stomach. ”

Fang Luocheng turned a deaf ear to Director Wang's enthusiasm, and he focused all his attention on the other party's watch: "Ouch, Director Wang, your watch is very good!" Honestly, where did it come from? Did you get it from privileges somewhere? ”

Director Wang hurriedly protected his watch and said cautiously: "Can you pull it down, and still have privileges?" If I really have that ability, I can cheat some food and ammunition from the logistics department and sell it on the black market? As for spending so much effort to get a watch to wear? You're underestimating me. To tell you the truth, this watch was given to me by my cousin, who was the commander of the 120th Division, who was wounded some time ago when leading a team to attack the Tongpu Railway, and recuperated in our hospital for a few days. Before leaving, he gave me his watch and told me it was a Roman watch. You say that we countrymen don't know what Roman watches are, alas, Captain Fang, do you know where Rome is? ”

"In your vegetable garden...... Fang Luocheng was about to leave with his things angrily, and he met Gao Ya who had just walked out of the door, and greeted him politely in a hurry, "Yo, Dean Gao, hello ......"

Gao Ya's swollen and crying red eyes smiled reluctantly: "Hello, Head Fang, here you are......"

Fang Luocheng tilted his head, smiled a little embarrassedly and asked, "Come, come...... Yo, what's going on? Their eyes were swollen like walnuts. Crying? Dean Gao, who recruited you? You tell me, I'll clean him up. Who is this, why are you still bullying other lesbians? Are there any rules? ”

Gao Ya hurriedly rubbed his eyes and explained, "It's okay, Head Fang, I just didn't sleep well last night." Thank you, it's okay. ”

Fang Luocheng said sympathetically: "I understand, that kid from Lao Yang spent the night with you last night, right?" You leave the bed to him, you must have nowhere to sleep! Alas, you said that you too, how much can you squeeze a bed for him in the ordinary ward? I have to get to your house...... Isn't that a problem? He's comfortable, you're guilty. I'll tell you the truth, this kid is in trouble, he usually likes to toss you when he's fine, and it's even more so after he gets injured! Alas, after talking for a long time, I almost forgot to ask, Lao Yang, this kid has been injured for five or six days now, has he ever woken up in the middle? ”

Gao Ya muttered: "I just woke up for a while, and my eyes opened, but I couldn't speak. But after a while, he fainted again, and it probably hurt to see him like that......"

"Look at me, this kid is the fucking shit of the ...... Ouch, I'm sorry, Dean Gao, I'm going to come out without paying attention to the dirty words, don't see the outside. Our brothers are used to joking, what is there to greet, there is no taboo, you take care of it, don't be like our gang. ”

"It's okay, Head Fang, I can understand. Alas, Head Fang, listening to you, it seems that you and Yang Longfei Yang are quite familiar with each other, how long have you known each other? Gao Ya asked with interest.

"Hey, my friendship with this kid is far away. When the fifth phase of Huangpu opened in 26, I was in the same class as this kid, and it wasn't a big friendship with a bare ass, but it wasn't much worse. How did Chairman Mao write that word? It's almost what we meant at the time, let me think about it......"

"Just a young student, in his prime, bookish, scolding Fang Xuan......" Gao Ya said.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means. Tut-tut, Dean Gao is a scholar, I haven't even remembered half a word, you're done here. is really worthy of being a great intellectual, and it is different from our buns. ”

"Don't say that, Captain Fang. You are soldiers, and your main task is to lead troops to fight and command battles, and no matter how much we read, it is useless to encounter the enemy. If one day the enemy surrounds us, whoever takes this copy of "The Legend of the Daughters" to reason with the devil will really be a big fool......"

After listening to Gao Ya's wonderful remarks, he was so happy that Fang Luocheng couldn't close his mouth. He didn't seem to have been praised like this in his life, and a little pride suddenly surged in his heart: "Dean Gao is really not simple, not only do you read a lot of books, but you also make good jokes." I'm convinced, I'm convinced! ”

Gao Ya then asked, "Look at me, I've been talking to you here for so long, I've almost forgotten the one inside." I suppose you must have come to visit your old comrade-in-arms, right? Come in, he just passed out in a coma, and he is probably still asleep, you go in and talk to him, even if you can't answer you, you can know that with you, an old comrade-in-arms, accompanying him, his injuries can recover a little faster. ”

"Okay, then I'll go check it out. You're right, this kid is underwhelmed, he belongs to the owner who dares to open a dyeing workshop when he gives a little color, and he is typically cheap and obedient. I usually don't have a turn to rest, but now it's okay, and if I take a shot from the devil and go to the hospital again, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. In other words, he hadn't been so idle for 800 years. If it weren't for the injuries he still had, I would have woken this kid up...... That's okay, Dean Gao, then you are busy first, and I'll go in and see this kid. Oh, and this stuff, I'll bring it in too. These are all trophies brought from our regiment, canned food and fruit. Lao Yang doesn't know when he will wake up, eat some by yourself when you're fine, don't patronize this kid......" After that, Fang Luocheng took the package in his hand and pushed the door into the elegant room. He gently placed the object on the table, then moved the chair to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Looking at Yang Longfei, who was still unconscious, Fang Luocheng sighed helplessly and then boredly chatted up the mountain: "Old Yang, brother, I'm here again." Tell me about you kid, it's really boring, how many days have it been? Haven't slept enough? Alas, okay, you kid hasn't been idle in the past few years, and it's time to take a break. I said, just listen...... Alas, maybe before you are discharged from the hospital, it may be the last time my husband will come to see you. Under the order of the boss, our regiment was assigned to the second column, and tomorrow we will go to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area to report. When I leave, you're the only one left. Don't say it, the most reassuring thing for me to go is you kid. Usually there is such a good boy as us poking at the side, you kid don't dare to play with fire too much, if I really leave, there is no one to set a benchmark for your kid, you don't know how much the basket you have to poke. Hehe, it's okay if you're asleep, our brothers have known each other for more than ten years, and you don't choke me every time I speak? Okay now, you kid is lying here, I said you have to bear everything. Hey, do you see anything on the table? It was the trophy of Lao Tzu's ambush a few days ago, fruits, canned food, etc. If you wake up, let the nurse feed you well, it will definitely be good for you. Of course, you kid don't eat alone with a face, leave a little for the senior dean, and the nurse who takes care of you, is it easy for people to take care of your kid? Don't say I didn't give you a chance, this time you are 'Wang Lao Er fell on his heels ——— fell into the blessing pile'. Look at your bear-like look, not to mention the roughness, your temper is still very irritable, just like a cannonball. You say it's just you, why is your life so good? And let Dean Gao take care of you personally? Where did you get such a big face? Hey, I can tell you, Dean Rengao is from a big family, he speaks in a crepe, and he is also beautiful. Not to mention this kind of condition in our 129th Division, even if we go through the sieve at the grassroots level of our entire Eighth Route Army, we can't find a second one. If you can have such a flower-like girl guarding you, you can fucking have fun. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about what happened recently. You don't know, Tie Haichuan's kid is a cow now, he set up a stage and let their 89th Regiment perform a good show of 'catching turtles in the urn', and ate a brigade of devils in Pingyao County in one go, which made our Principal Jiang so happy, not to mention several commendation orders in a row, and also equipped them with all American-style weapons, which made Lao Tzu look hot. This is not over, since this battle, Tie Haichuan, this kid has become a man of the hour. Good guy, these days the Central Daily and Jinsui Daily are full of news about this kid, and the limelight is about to overshadow Yan Laoxi......"

Gao Ya walked to a corridor in the courtyard and saw Wang Fang leaning on the railing of the corridor with a few nurses whispering, so he stepped forward and asked jokingly, "Where is the small broadcast here?" It's rare to have a break today, why don't you go back to your room to rest? ”

Yingzi, a nurse from northern Shaanxi, smiled and joked: "Dean, Wang Fang is telling us the story of his old man......"

Wang Fang was anxious when she heard this: "Yingzi, don't talk nonsense, what an old man is not an old man!" I don't even have a partner yet, where is the hero? ”

"Hey, why are you still in a hurry? You just said that your face was red when you talked about people, what? Do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest concern for people? ”

Gao Ya asked in surprise: "Don't you see it, Wang Fang, in the past two years in the hospital, you have also given birth to flowery intestines?" Say, who in our team do you like? ”

Wang Fang's face turned red after brushing it, and he said angrily: "Dean, don't listen to Yingzi's nonsense, no, no one ......"

Gao Ya asked reluctantly: "Hey, your face is red, and you still don't admit it?" Tell everyone else, do you still need to hide it from me? Yingzi, say, who is that man? ”

Yingzi smiled exaggeratedly: "Then I really said it, dean...... You don't necessarily believe it when you say it, it's Head Yang who is recuperating in our hospital! ”

Gao Ya was stunned after hearing this, the smile on his face also condensed, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Gao Ya asked knowingly: "Which Yang Regiment Leader?" ”

"Which other head Yang can have? Yang Longfei, the commander of the independent regiment of our 129th Division! It's the ...... who is recuperating in your room in the dean's house" Yingzi is really a rural girl who doesn't know anything about the world, and she didn't notice the change in the expressions of the few people around her, and she still took over the conversation and talked eloquently.

Gao Ya broke the deadlock with a wry smile, she suddenly remembered that there were several wounded people who were about to be discharged from the hospital who had not yet been examined and wanted to take a look, so she stuffed her hands in her pockets and turned to leave.

Several other nurses were speechless at Yingzi's "stupidity" inside and out, and everyone in the hospital looked at it, and the dean's concern for the injured Yang regiment leader was something that could not be seen in other wounded people before, even Wang Fang himself. Several times she went to the elegant room to help change Yang Longfei's dressing, but the dean personally started it, and even wrapped a bandage carefully, for fear of making the wounded suffer a little crime, and the whole medicine application process could be carried out for more than an hour. Every time he saw those scars, Dean Gao secretly wiped away his tears, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw it. If you want to say that there is no story between these two people, do you believe it?

After Wang Fang turned his head and glared at Yingzi fiercely, he muttered a few grumbling words and turned around and ran away. The nurses who were originally chatting enthusiastically broke up after they said that......

Fang Luocheng's words continued: "Old Yang, our brothers have been fighting together in the northwest of Jin for so many years, and it is really a little reluctant to suddenly separate us. Alas, I've been dreaming these days, do you know what I'm dreaming about? I dreamed that when the two of us first met, according to the instructors at the time, we were still a bunch of blind raw melons and eggs. At that time, we were young, and it was common to fight with veterans, and at that time, you kid liked to take the lead, and seven disobeyed and eight were unhappy all day long, and everyone wanted to break their wrists and throw their heads. No one cares how comfortable it was at that time. There are also old comrades-in-arms in our class, who have fought for more than ten years, and basically all of them are gone. Zhu Yaozhang, who was in the front row of us at that time, died in the battle of Zhujiaqiao during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War in 32; Sitting at the same table behind the two of us, Ma Cong and Wu Zixian have been sacrificed for almost ten years; and our deputy squad leader, Liu Meisheng, is also a hard stubble, but unfortunately, he didn't have it during the Xinkou battle...... I miss them. Do you know how Lao Tzu felt when he heard that you were injured? I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I almost fainted! Really, my heart is like smearing lard, for fear that something will happen to your kid. It's interesting to think about how anxious I was at the time. I don't know you yet? The master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and even you dare to call God when you are in a hurry. How did you say that? The one who can kill you hasn't been born yet. I didn't believe it before, I always said that you kid bragged, but now I believe it, you kid is really blessed with a great life. I heard that the place where the cannonball landed was only a foot or two away from your kid, and the air wave of the cannonball didn't tear your kid apart, so he was seriously injured? It's too cheap, you kid. You said that Lao Tzu has been here for so long, and you didn't even bring back a word of the dog's day. Okay, you go back to sleep, what do I have to say. It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back and pack up and get ready to move. Your brother is recuperating well, if the conditions allow, solve your personal problems as soon as possible, don't let the organization come forward, the director of our political department is not a matchmaker, the key is up to you. Okay, you rabbit cub continue to sleep, I'm leaving......" Before the words fell, Fang Luocheng moved the chair back to its original place, sorted out the folds on the military uniform, and then pushed the door out, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Gao Ya leaning against the courtyard wall.

"Yo, Dean Gao, have you been waiting for a long time? I'm sorry, our old comrades-in-arms talk a lot, let you see the jokes, I'll go back. Fang Luocheng smiled apologetically.

"Is he awake?" Gao Yawan said with a smile.

Fang Luocheng sighed and said: "What are you awake, this kid is almost addicted to sleep, I have been babbling in his ear for so long, let alone opening his eyes, he doesn't even have a hair." Forget it, he's pitiful enough, a good person to make it like this, don't say it. Dean Gao, I'll go first, our regiment will move the garrison to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area with the Second Column Headquarters tomorrow, and I haven't packed up this thing yet......"

"Then I'll send you, it just so happens that I have nothing to do......"

"Okay, then let's go, we can talk about it, let's go......"
