Chang Feng stopped, stood up and saluted, "Report to the division commander, Chang Feng, chief of staff of the independent division and commander of the directly subordinate corps, was ordered to return to the headquarters to report on his work, please ask the division commander for instructions!" The tone was flat, but Tang Qiuli heard a trace of loneliness from it.

Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and said: "Chang Feng, I'm back, don't mention any headquarters, I can't even enter Yangon City now, so I borrowed a treasure from the airport and chatted about it." ”

Tang Qiuli wanted to use a joke to dilute the embarrassment that was invisible, but hidden in the depths of the hearts of the two, Chang Feng's expression darkened, and then said: "Division commander, according to the duties and responsibilities of the commander of the independent division, if the division commander is there, it will naturally become the general headquarters of the independent division and the highest command organ of the entire army, Chang Feng is not wrong. ”

Tang Qiuli diverted the topic and greeted: "Sit," Chang Feng did the opposite side of Tang Qiuli, and the eyes of the two intersected again, seeing the complicated feelings in each other's hearts.

"It's been a night of traveling, and you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll ask the cooking class to prepare a meal for you, fill your stomach first," Tang Qiuli said, Chang Feng shook his head, and replied: "Division commander, I have eaten on the road, the field rations of our independent division are famous." ”

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything more, his eyes were complicated and looked at Chang Feng, Chang Feng looked at him calmly, neither of them spoke, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the room.

Chang Feng knows very well that this time the division commander urgently recruited himself back from Mandalay, which may mean that the day when he left the independent division is not far off, in the history of the independent division into the army, there has not been a corps commander who has been transferred back from the front line, Chang Feng is the first, but he believes that Mandalay is not the front line at all, and he is facing unarmed civilians. It's just a loss of mind.

Tang Qiuli lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, the pale blue smoke turned his face. It was a little hazy, only the scar on his face, glowing with a dark red light, and his eyes shone with remembrance.

opened his mouth and said: "Chang Feng, we have been working together for more than six years, and I remember that it was when we were in the Northeast. Our independent division is also called the Bloody Hand Regiment, attacking the Mudanjiang Campaign, at that time you were just an ordinary soldier, I found out what was different about you, and transferred you to the division headquarters staff office, along the way, you have become a decisive general in the command system of the independent division. I, Tang Qiuli, think that I didn't misunderstand you, and you didn't disappoint me either! ”

"Assisting Deputy Division Commander Tang in the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army was terrified. The enemy chieftain Matsui Ishine died of illness and hatred, making the Sulu Mobile Corps famous in World War I, and your rank of major general was specially approved by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to be promoted, and after that, you assisted me in fighting with the famous Soviet general Zhukov in Outer Mongolia, and hundreds of thousands of troops of the First Army of the Soviet Far East were disarmed and surrendered, and moved to South China and entered Burma. Sweep across Indochina, Changfeng, no one doubts your abilities, you are an excellent commander! ”

Tang Qiuli recounted the past, and in a few words, he finished the conquest of the independent division. In the tone, there are remembrance, passion and melancholy, as well as loss, countless battles, all of which are Chang Feng's assistance in his strategy, the relationship between the two is very deep, and the time together is much more than that of other generals in the independent division.

Chang Feng's calm eyes finally changed, and his voice was a little hoarse and said: "Division Commander, since Chang Feng followed you into the army, he began another wonderful life, without you, Chang Feng may be an ordinary person in the Northeast, under the rule and oppression of the Japanese, to be a slave to the country, carefully to survive, Chang Feng always thinks that it is the honor of Chang Feng's life to follow you to fight in all directions!" ”

Speaking of this, Chang Feng's mood was very excited, and his tone trembled a little, he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then said: "Chang Feng can't forget this qiē, but it doesn't mean that I will unconditionally implement and blindly obey your orders, such as this time, if I start all over again, Chang Feng still insists on his own point of view, and will give the same order!" ”…,

"If it is on the battlefield against the Japanese, the British, and the Americans, even if the division commander asks Chang Feng to charge, I will not hesitate to rush forward, but this time, I can't do it, and I can't convince myself to unconditionally carry out your orders!" After speaking, Chang Feng felt relieved, with a hint of exhaustion.

Tang Qiuli's brows furrowed quickly, his hands trembled, the cigarette between his fingers almost fell to the ground, and he asked in a low tone, "Can you give me a reasonable reason?" ”

Chang Feng stood up suddenly, and said in an excited tone: "Division commander, do you know who my troops are facing?" It's the unarmed civilians, the natives of this land, and I admit that someone is behind the instigation of this incident, but after all, it is a very small minority, how can I order my soldiers to shoot at them? ”

"Division commander, I, Chang Feng, am a highly educated soldier, and I completely agree with the punishment of the ringleaders, but I can't shoot at some blinded ordinary citizens, and if I give such an order, I will be an executioner, what is the difference between me and the Japanese invaders? Is such a unit still an independent division unit known as the division of benevolence and righteousness? Or is it a squadron that pursues peace on the Indochina Peninsula? I'm afraid, when our hands are stained with the blood of ordinary civilians, we have changed our nature! No different from the colonizers of the past generations! ”

Chang Feng said so much in one breath, as if he had exhausted all his energy, gasping for breath, his eyes were a little sickly blurred, these words had been pressed in his heart for too long, when the independent division went abroad for the first battle and conquered Myitkyina, he had great disgust with the first brigade and the shelling of the slums where the Japanese soldiers were hidden.

It was then that he began to doubt whether the army he had joined was an upright and righteous army, or whether it was armed with the warlords of previous dynasties, which was not fundamentally different, whether it was an army with a clear purpose and fought for its own goals, or a tool for grabbing territory for someone's selfish interests.

Chang Feng didn't want to doubt that he had always respected and followed the division commander Tang Qiuli, in his own land, fighting against the Japanese invaders, defending the country, and expelling the invaders, Chang Feng did not have any ideological fluctuations, including the division commander's order not to leave Japanese prisoners of war, bravely killing the enemy, in the veins, flowing with passionate blood, but since the army was sent to Burma, Chang Feng's surging passion in his heart gradually faded, and he seemed to have lost the goal of struggle.

Such a change in thinking, let Chang Feng very painful, he tried to convince himself, but he couldn't change his mind, when the goal he was fighting for, when he lost any meaning, his heart was painful and depressed, and now, he could finally say what he really thought in his heart, Chang Feng had a sense of relief, and the emptiness after liberation.

A cold light flashed in Tang Qiuli's eyes, he was really angry, all along, the chief of staff he had high hopes for, a rising star in the independent division, his inner thoughts were actually contrary to his own, and moreover, in the abyss of mistakes, he slipped farther and deeper, especially his doubts about himself.

For the questioning of this army with a mission, for himself and all the officers and soldiers of the independent division, it is not only a harm, but also a blasphemy, and his view of the big riots, even superficial to the point of wishful thinking, those thugs are just good citizens who have been deceived, Tang Qiuli does not know, when did Chang Feng's thinking begin to produce such drastic changes?

He was very saddened by the fact that an outstanding young general was out of step with this army because of his wrong thinking, and at the same time, he deeply blamed himself for having a deep talk with him if he discovered the abnormality of the common wind after the battle of Myitkyina, and maybe, he could change his opinion so that he would not slip too far. …,

However, it was too late, Chang Feng's fixed views and thoughts had been formed, and they could not be changed, anger, sadness, regret, misunderstood anger, and Chang Feng's attitude, many feelings were intertwined, making Tang Qiu's anger in the centrifugal uncontrollable eruption.

He abruptly got up, knocked over the table, and shouted, "Foolish, woman's kindness! Wishful thinking, regardless of what you think of me and this army, as far as this riot is concerned, Chang Feng, do you know how wrong you are? Innocent civilians? Ridiculous, it is a group of beasts and thugs who are full of bestiality, lose their minds, and are dominated by extreme revenge, who only know how to kill, prevent fire, rape, and loot property, and specifically target us Chinese! ”

"You can't bear it, and you can't shoot at these rioters, so let me ask you Chang Feng, do you know how much harm has been done to all the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Indochina after this riot? Horrible, shocking, heinous, and unforgivable and unconcealable crimes, the truth will tell you how ridiculous and stupid your thoughts and practices are! ”

"Blood debt and blood payment, natural righteousness, thugs will pay several times the price for their crimes, I Tang someone does not mind being an executioner in your eyes, nor does I mind that history will write me, for the sake of the Chinese, no longer suffer such harm and massacre, even if it is pointed out by thousands of people, even if my hands are stained with blood, I have no hesitation!"

"Countering violence with violence, killing to stop killing, no one can change my practice, even if everyone betrays their relatives, they will not hesitate, don't mention any magnanimity to me, don't blame the past, don't mention any benevolence and forgiveness to me, that's a ridiculous idea of self-deception, Chang Feng, I am very sad, when our compatriots were wantonly slaughtered by mobs, you still have the kindness of a woman, and there are many unbearable hearts, I am very disappointed!"

Chang Feng's body shook, he had followed the division commander for many years, and it was the first time he saw him so angry and furious, perhaps, his own words, deeply pierced his heart, looking at the flushed division commander, Chang Feng's eyes were deeply guilty, but more importantly, he was uncompromising and stubborn.
