CHAPTER IV. 5

Zhang Shan walked over and asked barefoot while combing his clothes: "I saw you two broadcasting here just now, like your mother's little daughter-in-law biting her ears, what are you talking about?" ”

Qian Liyuan was dumbfounded for a while. Cao Guang seemed very suitable to deal with this kind of emergency, and smiled calmly: "No, it's okay to nag at home." Don't talk about it, I don't know, this kid Lao Qian is stunned and doesn't understand. In addition to releasing empty cannons and talking nonsense, and then there is nothing to spoil the little wife of the chief, and also blindly call the commander a nickname, what is it? I'm teaching him how to be a human being......"

After taking a bath, Zhang Shan only felt comfortable, he sat down on the ground and asked with interest: "Yo, who is this kid worried about?" It can't be your aunt, right? I heard that your cousin is the director of the chamberlain next to Chairman Chiang, and your boy has a bright future. ”

Qian Liyuan pretended to smile again: "Ho, I didn't see it before, it's quite good at ruining people, Lao Zhang...... I said, "Who did you learn this from?" Alas, but don't say it's with me, I didn't teach you this, don't throw any on me! ”

"As the old saying goes, 'If you don't support it, you will be straight; The white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black with it. 'Since the day I Zhang Shan entered the 25th regiment, we have become grasshoppers on a rope, and there are some things that we can say when we listen to them. To put it bluntly, when the crow falls on the pig, no one should dislike anyone! Zhang Shan asked Qian Liyuan again if he wanted to smoke.

Qian Liyuan teased happily: "Tsk, tsk, in the end, it is a person who has gone to middle school, and this intellectual is different from our gang of coarse people." Lao Zhang, what did you just say? I didn't understand what the hell is it......"

Zhang Shan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and smoked a cigarette to himself: "Forget it, the more you talk about it, the more vague you become, what do you want me to say to you, a person with a sorghum flower?" Forget it, don't talk about it, smoke. ”

Qian Liyuan lit a match to light a cigarette for Cao Guang beside him, only to see Cao Guang coaxing the seedlings in his ear with a wicked smile: "Hey, he's hea, aren't you kid very good?" Don't be cowardly, it's ...... to go up and him."

Looking at Cao Guang's gloating appearance, Qian Liyuan was angry: "What the hell did you say so much?" Don't be embarrassed......"

Cao Guang was not angry when he heard this, but smoked his cigarette in a more happy mood, and from time to time he had to spit out a few smoke rings into the sky.

After Zhang Shan quickly smoked the cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot, muttering to himself while slushing: "It's not the case now, you can't treat this place as your home." Besides, the head of the regiment and Xie Dacheng don't know what to do at this time, as long as the direction is determined, we have to leave immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

"To put it lightly, did you forget? Didn't I just call the commander of the reconnaissance company and ask? Even that kid doesn't know where we are, where do you know? Qian Liyuan shouted.

"What are you anxious about? Salty radish don't worry about it, there is nothing in this world that you are not anxious about! According to previous experience, where there is a water source, you can find local villagers nearby. Haven't you heard that phrase? 'One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people', do you think it's a joke? I have already sent a reconnaissance company to follow the first few beams all the way to the north, but fortunately this is not a Japanese jurisdiction, so there is no need to sneak around. I don't think I'll be able to find someone in 20 miles. We don't do anything else, as long as we can determine the coordinates and directions as soon as possible, we can get on the road as soon as possible, and strive to meet the head of the regiment at this time the day after tomorrow. After speaking, Zhang Shan put his coat on his face, tilted his head and fell asleep.

After Qian Liyuan glanced at Zhang Shan suspiciously, he said in a strange manner: "Yo, don't you see that our Adjutant Zhang is quite stylish, can you sleep in this ghost place?" Lao Cao, Lao Cao......" He pushed the third battalion commander Cao Guang beside him, and he was shocked to find that Cao Guang, who also covered his face with a military uniform, had already fallen asleep, not only that, but he also snored as if no one was around, he had never seen him sleep so soundly when he hadn't fought before, it was really evil!

In the face of such a heartless old comrade-in-arms such a posture, Qian Liyuan has to show a backbone and style of "the general trend of the world, who else can I be". He struggled to get up from the ground, his legs almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and as the supreme commander of all the sober people at present, Qian Liyuan passed the time by making a simple roll call along the crowd when he was bored. In fact, he is not much easier than Zhang Shan and Cao Guang. After dozens of hours of continuous combat and breakthroughs, he was already exhausted, and his eyelids were almost unable to open. But there is no way, who let him get hit. It is said that the little devil can't catch up, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in everything, just in case it is not? If the little devil is really evil, and no leader takes the lead in responding in time, won't he become a target for the enemy's gun?

Qian Liyuan slowly found that his worries seemed to be unnecessary. Minutes and seconds passed, and there was no movement around at all. Almost everyone in the entire unit, except for the soldiers on duty, could not hold back and fell asleep, and the cries of crows returning to their nests sounded in mid-air. Qian Liyuan really can't bear it, damn, whoever loves to go to hell will go down, and the living can still suffocate their urine? I can't bear it, so I have to sleep, I don't care if the is vigilant or not, don't be vigilant for a long time, the devil didn't come, but tired himself to death. He was so heartbroken that he simply took off his coat and put it on his face, tilted his head and fell asleep......

I don't know how long it took, but when Qian Liyuan woke up, there was a bonfire around him. To be precise, it was the heat and flickering light from the campfire that woke him up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to habitually touch his pockets to see if he had lost anything.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and two large fleshy hands began to rummage through his body, and even he himself did not know what he was looking for. It wasn't until he saw Zhang Shan, the deputy regiment commander, and Cao Guang, the third battalion commander, who were sitting opposite him looking at the picture, that he suddenly realized: It's bad, where did Lao Tzuyan go?

It happened that Zhang Shan sat on the ground after smoking and sighed while looking at the picture, Cao Guang also casually put his eyes on the picture in front of him, and from time to time he put his eyes on the surrounding environment, with a slightly cynical attitude.

The content on the paper was a rough topographic sketch drawn by Li Yong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, with the help of local villagers. He has already determined the current position of the troops. If the plan made before the breakthrough was to be followed, the 2nd and 3rd battalions would meet in Xuzhou two days later with the same battalion. The most correct route, then, is to march in a northwesterly direction along the present road, and if the speed of the troops can catch up, according to the original planned rendezvous time, that is, by the morning after tomorrow, it should be possible to arrive on time according to the established plan.

Without further ado, Zhang Shan and Cao Guang decided to set off overnight. When the troops were assembled, Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, was still a little confused, and he asked vigorously: "Lao Zhang, you steal Lao Tzu's cigarettes while he is napping, right?" The last half pack of cigarettes was taken away by your kid, and you still smoke......"

"Don't put gold on your face, it's true to smoke your cigarette, but if you have to give yourself an excuse to take a nap, then I can't agree. If you don't believe it, ask Lao Cao, what were you like when you fell asleep just now? The snoring was just in time for the mortar to go off. Shall you fight? Lao Tzu is addicted to cigarettes and took out that half pack of cigarettes from your pocket, who the stole it? Just the bear you just looked, let alone taking a cigarette, even if you smoke a few mouths on your kid's face, you won't be able to wake up, and you still complain about Lao Tzu? I don't know what to do......"

", do you have any reason to smoke Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu's three or four days' amount, you made me out of a addiction, right? Your adjutant talks like a fart and gives you a lot of face, right? Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu, it's okay to smoke Lao Tzu, you have to give an explanation, otherwise Lao Tzu really dares to turn his face with you! ”

Zhang Shan was happy when he heard this, he ordered the troops to be led by the reconnaissance company to start first, but he stayed where he was and negotiated with Qian Liyuan: "Don't talk nonsense, don't you just want cigarettes?" When we join the first battalion, Lao Tzu will give you a Hade Gate. At that time, don't say it's the Harder Gate, even if it is replaced by the big front gate and the three forts, it will be enough! Don't be too happy, you kid, the premise is there, it's only after finding the head of the regiment that our agreement is counted, understand? ”

"Hey, that's right. Who is with whom between our brothers, Lao Zhang, you have the appearance of being a leader! Just for our fateful friendship, doesn't it seem out of sight to say this? Since you're so happy, then I'll just do as you say! Qian Liyuan immediately changed into a small appearance again.

……

From the beginning to the end of the vigorous Battle of Taiyuan, Shanxi, a province with vast plains and mountains as the main force, gradually formed a variety of fighting forces: the descendants of Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, armed with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army; the Eighteenth Group Army, led by Peng Dehuai, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army; After the end of the battle, the Japanese North China Front Army established with Taiyuan as the center stationed in the First Army of Jin; and the Imperial Allied Army troops under the full command of Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army stationed in Jin. The situation of friend and foe can be described as intertwined, vertical and horizontal.

Liu Bocheng, former chief of the General Staff of the Red Army and current commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, was standing in front of a huge map of Shanxi Province hanging on the wall, squinting his eyes and watching quietly, holding on to the frame from time to time, as if he was about to fall into a long contemplation......

A soldier of the Eighth Route Army in military uniform "snapped" and stood upright, saluted and reported: "Report to the division commander, the elegant comrade who came from Yan'an has arrived!" Everyone at the division headquarters couldn't help but look up at the woman standing behind the soldier with great curiosity......

Chief of Staff Ni Zhiliang sighed in his heart: In the ten years he has been in the army, he has never seen such a bright and moving woman. She did not wear her hair in braids like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who was just beginning to fall in love, nor did she wear a white turban like the rural women who could be found everywhere on the roadside, but chose to wear her hair in a coiled way to show her dignity. This woman's big watery eyes are the most moving, the eyelashes are orderly, the high straight nose bridge makes the whole person's face look extraordinarily three-dimensional, and there is a cherry-like ruddy mouth underneath, and her slender figure is not lost. Chief of Staff Ni was secretly surprised, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he had always thought that this kind of graceful woman would only come from the apocryphal works of literary scholars and ancient paintings.

Rao is a veteran general and soldier, and he can't help but look up a few more times. In all fairness, this woman exudes a charming charm from top to bottom......

Division Commander Liu Bocheng turned around, glanced at the young female soldier of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, and asked with a kind smile on his face, "You are Gao Ya?" ”

Gao Ya stepped forward and saluted: "Report chief, Gao Ya, a graduate of the second phase of Kang University, was ordered to come to the division headquarters to report, please instruct!" ”

Liu Bocheng nodded and continued to ask: "Didn't the graduates of the second phase of Kang University announce their graduation as early as August this year?" It's the end of the year, and it's been nearly four months in between, so why has it been assigned now? ”

Gao Ya explained that after graduating from the second year of Kang University, he was recommended by Luo Ruiqing, the director of education, to go to Shaanbei Public School for a two-month short-term study, and in October, due to the outbreak of the "Huang Kegong incident", he was isolated and examined for a period of time because of the identity background of the so-called "little bourgeois", and was not assigned to work in the front-line army until the review was over.

Liu Bocheng nodded in understanding, as if he remembered something, and then asked: "I read the information about you sent by the Political Department, you are still a surgical student graduated from Beijing Medical University, and you have two years of experience in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Later, he organized and participated in the '12.9 Movement', and then resigned from his job to join the Beijing Federation of Students, and after joining the party, he was recommended by your Secretary Peng to study at Yan'an Kang University. That's how it happened, right? ”

"Yes, Chief."

"I read the letter of introduction sent by your Luo Education Chief, which coincides with the establishment of a second-line field hospital by our 129th Division Headquarters, and we urgently need experts and doctors who are proficient in surgery and surgery. To be honest, if it weren't for your Chief Luo personally sponsoring you to come to me, I would have been a little caught off guard. The hospital is the place where wounded soldiers regain their lives, and I hope you can do this sacred work well. Master Liu Bocheng looked at Gao Ya solemnly.

Gao Ya saluted again: "Yes, chief, promise to complete the task!" Chief, I would like to know what I do, and also, the location of the hospital. ”

"Considering that the division headquarters is still very short of relevant medical personnel, I decided to apply to the headquarters to transfer two or three doctors with a certain amount of experience in chief surgery to work with you, and you will be the acting president and director of the political department of the second-tier hospital, and the inspection period is two months, I estimate that there will be several vicious battles to be fought in the last three months, and I hope that you can successfully complete the upcoming rescue and treatment tasks. As for the hospital, it is still in preparation, and the medicines and equipment are still in transit, and it is expected that the wounded will be officially received by the end of this month. Oh, the specific location of the hospital is in Shilipu, twenty miles away from the division headquarters, I will send some female soldiers from the Propaganda Department to study and work, I hope you, a recent graduate, can play a good role as a teacher. I believe in your abilities, don't let me down! ”

"Yes, please rest assured, chief!"
