Xue Yizhen was moved by Zhu Jingxing's spirit of daring to go to the battlefield to fight, and Huang Zhengzhong also admired it.

Zhu Jingxing waved his hand and said, "I'm not that great, forget it, let's talk about the rest." ”

Everyone began to stop talking about this topic, and Zhu Jingxing said with a smile: "By the way, I won the first place in the shooting assessment last time." But to be honest, the Hanyang-style rifles produced in our country are indeed not as good as the rifles Garand used by the United States, but their guns are more bullet-intensive. ”

"My shooting performance is also okay, but when I was training for stabs, I saw those bright bayonets, and I didn't know the bottom of my heart." Guan Limin smiled.

"If you don't dare to look at it, you can see more, and when you sleep with a bayonet every day, you will get used to it."

A few people said half-jokingly.

After eating and drinking, Huang Zhengzhong saw that the time was not early, so he took out three small boxes from his bag and said, "By the way, I have prepared some small gifts for you, presumably you can use them on the battlefield." ”

As he spoke, he handed three delicate small boxes to the three of Mu Dan. The three of them took it and opened it, and they all had the same smile on their faces.

"Mido's watches are really good!" Guan Limin took the watch out of it and tried to put it on his hand, although the bracelet was not removed and looked a little loose, but he still proudly showed it in front of several other people.

"Zhengzhong, how can this work? This gift is also too expensive. Although Senior Mu Dan also likes this watch, he is still a little reluctant to go.

Not only Mu Dan, but they also all know that these three watches are expensive, and if they add up, they are worth a month's food expenses for several of them.

Huang Zhengzhong smiled and said: "The most important thing for soldiers is time and efficiency. I see that the three of you, except for Senior Mu Dan, who has an old pocket watch, have nothing to mark the time. Besides, even Senior Mudan's pocket watch is not very convenient, so I bought these watches as gifts. Don't shirk either, if anyone doesn't accept it, I won't be a good classmate and brother with anyone! ”

"That's it, you just take it, how to say that this is also a piece of Zhengzhong's heart. Besides, watches also have a practical role on the battlefield. Xue Yizhen also persuaded him.

After these words, the three of them no longer shirked and accepted this precious gift.

After eating this meal, several people went to Kunming city for a walk. As I walked by, a jeep drove by quickly, because it had just rained, rolling up the muddy water on the ground and splashing the people around me.

A few white-skinned, blue-eyed American GIs in the car laughed at them with the slightest indulgence. A few of them were whistling with the girls next to them.

"This is the United Air Force, and these American soldiers are also annoying, they don't slow down when they drive, they like to drink and fight, and they even beat a few students in our department some time ago." Xue Yizhen said with some indignation.

"Forget it, they're here to help us fight." Senior Mu Dan is still more open.

"It's not like this is the case in China, I know that in the United States, many air pilots like to drive fast and chase girls. But ......," Huang Zhengzhong said, smiling evilly at them.

At this time, not far away, I saw the American Willis jeep stop in front of it, and the two American pilots in the car seemed to jump out of the car and walked towards the market inside.

"It's the weekend, they're on holiday, and they're probably here to buy beer, so we can play a little prank." Saying that, Huang Zhengzhong pointed over there and motioned for Zhu Jingxing to let them let go for themselves.

After Zhu Jingxing comprehended it, he immediately went over there to let out the wind. Huang Zhengzhong ran over there to prepare to release the Americans' cars.

At this time, the American soldier was about to walk out from inside with something, Zhu Jingxing hurriedly went to send a signal to Huang Zhengzhong, but Huang Zhengzhong had not pulled out the gas core, at this time, Xue Yizhen came over and said hello to the American soldier with a smile, and chatted with them again. The two American soldiers were naturally overjoyed when they saw the beautiful girl greeting them. Xue Yizhen chatted with them enthusiastically, and the two American pilots danced hand in hand, constantly telling praise and jokes to attract the girl's attention.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xue Yizhen shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have bad news to tell the two of you, I'm afraid the two of you will be pushing the cart back today." ”

“What？” The American pilot asked in surprise.

As soon as the American pilot finished speaking, Huang Zhengzhong hurriedly ran over and grabbed Xue Yizhen and ran out frantically.

The American pilots were still puzzled, but after a few minutes, they didn't understand the meaning of Xue Yizhen's words until they found that the front tires were flat, but by that time it was already too late.

……

After taking revenge on the American pilot for a childlike prank, Huang Zhengzhong and his party were extremely happy. In the afternoon, it was about time for them to return to the team, and Huang Zhengzhong and they had no choice but to see them off.

"It seems that no matter where we go, we still have to cooperate with the two golden combinations, but it's a pity that I couldn't join the army with you, otherwise the little devil who will be killed will be a lot of blood!" Huang Zhengzhong put his hand on Zhu Jingxing's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't want you to join the army with me." Zhu Jingxing said.

"Oh? The idea is rather new. Huang Ke asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhu Jingxing stopped and said seriously: "Zhengzhong, I have some things I want to ask you." ”

"You say." Huang Zhengzhong said.

"I ......" Zhu Jingxing was a little embarrassed.

"It's hard to say anything between us." Huang Zhengzhong said with a smile.

Hearing Huang Zhengzhong's words, Zhu Jingxing smiled.

After thinking about it, he still said seriously: "After I leave, things ...... my family."

Huang Zhengzhong also looked at him seriously, he knew that Zhu Jingxing didn't ask others for anything easily, and there must be something very important this time.

"After I left, I don't know when I will be able to come back, my mother's health is not very good, and my younger siblings are small, I hope you can help me see my parents in my hometown more. If...... If I die over there, I hope you can help them as much as you can. ”

"......" Huang Zhengzhong seemed to have something in his chest after hearing this, he didn't expect this young man who was only twenty years old to say such a thing.

This is the trust, this is the trust that a young man trusts to the people he trusts the most in times of war.

Zhu Jingxing continued: "I know that although this request is a little unreasonable, I know that the only person who can be entrusted is yourself. ”

After speaking, Zhu Jingxing said to him again: "Didn't you ask me why I had to go to the combat unit before? You all think that I have a high consciousness and a high ideological realm. Actually, I didn't go to the combat unit for any glorious reason to kill the enemy on the front line, just because. ”

Speaking of this, he was a little hesitant.

"Actually, the main reason I did this was because the officer's allowance in the front-line troops was 30 yuan a month."

Huang Zhengzhong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhu Jingxing to go to the front-line troops for this reason, thirty yuan was just a slightly richer meal in Huang Zhengzhong's opinion, but Zhu Jingxing and they had to gamble with their lives.

It stands to reason that Zhu Jingxing's family background is not very bad, at least it can be regarded as a well-off family, but the devastating damage caused by the war cannot be erased in everyone's heart, and the damage to the economy is even more serious.

Zhu Jingxing also has a younger brother and two younger sisters, and the pressure on the family is not small, which is also an important reason why Zhu Jingxing is so hopeful that he can improve the family through his own actions.

……

As Huang Ke expected, the Soviet side wantonly blocked the United States' proposal to transport materials to China through the Soviet Union, and the Soviet People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "It can be used, but China needs to pay the Soviet Union a certain fee, and the cost can be compensated by a certain amount of agricultural products." ”

At first, the Chinese diplomatic department tried to negotiate with the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union temporarily increased the price during the negotiations, raising the original conditions again, and finally the first two aid packages had to be abandoned.

When Song Ziwen reported this to Huang Ke, he was sincerely angry at the treachery of the Soviets. In addition, not long ago, the Soviet Union had secret contacts with Wang Jingwei and the Japanese Kwantung Army, seeking to recognize the Japanese puppet regime in Northeast China and Wang Jingwei's puppet Nationalist government.

After hearing this, Huang Ke said: "Lao Maozi has always been treacherous, Stalin and Churchill are the same dog, no matter what they are, the Soviets can't count on them now." Forget it, telegraph to the US side, saying that the third aid line will be activated. In addition, he asked the US side about the entry into Burma and the dispatch of the chief of staff of the Chinese theater. ”

Soong Ziwen reported that the United States also has two completely different attitudes toward the chief of staff sent to China.

"Tell me about it." Huang Kedao.

"The United States is sending a chief of staff to China, and there are several different candidates, one is to advocate that the Chinese army carry out a major counterattack against the Japanese army from Burma, and gradually march into Burma, Thailand and other places to cooperate with the Pacific theater; There is also a conservative approach of opening up the existing route and not expanding the continuation of the march. Marshall, the chief of staff of the US Army, preferred the latter. Song Ziwen added another sentence after speaking.

Huang Ke began to think again, in fact, he already knew who the United States was going to send, but it was Stilwell's guy. The relationship between Stilwell and Jiang Zhongzheng is not good, I don't know what will happen to the relationship with him? However, he no longer wants to care about this, anyway, he holds a principle: the command of the Chinese theater must be in his hands.
