Chapter 219: Welcome Home
The bad news brought by Sanada was naturally about the southern front troops of the South China Front, Yamamoto Fifty-six finished reading Matsui Ishone's telegram asking for help, his face that had just been congested with anger quickly turned pale, he let go of the telegram, and let the telegram float to the ground in free fall, he said softly: "I can't care about it, let's go to Naha first!" β
Then he walked out of the captain's room and headed for his lounge. After he left, Tsukahara 243 picked up the telegram and looked at it, handed him to Sanada, and said, "Those stupid donkeys of the army, a good encirclement and suppression war was fought like this, His Majesty the Emperor should really cut off the heads of those rice buckets." β
Sanada whispered: "I'm really unwilling! β
Tsukahara looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "It's not necessarily a bad thing, those guys in the army have always looked down on the sky, after this battle, they should be able to see themselves clearly, right?" Sanada-kun, you've been following the Minister for two years, haven't you? β
Not understanding what he was trying to do with the subject, Sanada replied, "Two years and three months." β
Tsukahara smiled: "Have you ever wanted to go over and lead a force below?" β
Sanada hurriedly made a panic and said, "Your Excellency, you are laughing. β
Tsukahara looked out the window and asked, "Sanada-kun, do you know what year the real rise of the Tsudodo Empire came from?" β
"It's 1894, isn't it? That year, the Empire won the Sino-Japanese Naval Warβ"
"No, it's 1905. That year, the empire won the Battle of Tsushima and completely annihilated the Russian Baltic Fleet. The empire can have today's situation, in fact, our naval ancestors pioneered, but you see, the military department is now completely controlled by the army. Hmph, it's time for our navy to take charge of the military departmentβ"
"Your Excellency?"
"We'll see! Sanada-kun, at that time, maybe you can go to Shina to command a marine team! β
Sanada was thoughtful.
The battle on the front line is in full swing, but Guangzhou, the capital of the Cadet Army, presents a festive scene. Lion dance teams and dragon dance teams from many cooperatives in the suburbs of Guangzhou held performances or competitions in many streets and squares in Guangzhou, which immediately dispelled the haze of war that hung over the city.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Yun, commander-in-chief of the Cadet Army, personally commanded the northbound troops finally returned to Guangzhou, and the news spread, nearly 100 dragon and lion dance teams converged to Sanshui District from all directions.
Ji Xingwen, the general political director of the Cadet Army, Li Hansoul, the mayor of Guangzhou, Pan Meiren, Chen Jiayao and other headquarters personnel were the first to receive the news and rushed to Sanshui, when the masses rushed in, Ji Xingwen frowned, and said to Guo Biao, commander of the Guangzhou Garrison Command beside him: "Whoever leaks the news is too dangerous, if the little devil takes advantage of the situation to launch an air attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!" β
Guo Biao shook his head and was about to say something, when Li Hansoul on the side answered: "The commander-in-chief won a big victory in Jiangxi, and yesterday and this morning, Jiang Lao and Commander Ye defeated the Japanese South China Front and the 5th Army in Fuding and Shangrao. The army and the people are united, and they are united, which is the most valuable of the three major military interests! β
Li Hansoul did nothing in the Guangzhou incident and almost caused a catastrophe. Ouyang Yun did not relentless this time, and directly exiled the old Yue system as a whole. After Li Hansoul took over the post of mayor of Guangzhou, he was also diligent. At this time, although the Cadet Army was facing the biggest crisis since entering Guangdong, because the Cadet Army had won several big victories one after another, like the rear areas of Guangzhou, the morale of the people was unmatched for a while, and this is why the current scene will appear.
Guo Biao: "The Combined Fleet Air Force has just suffered heavy losses in Fuding, and it is impossible to break through our coastal air defense line with force. Minister Ji, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let's make everyone happy! β
Ji Xingwen sighed softly and didn't say anything more.
The logistical support work of the Cadet Corps has been done very well, and although the troops going north are fighting in the bitter cold environment of Jiangxi, there is not much difference between staying in the barracks. Therefore, the soldiers and civilians in Guangzhou in the rear did not know what kind of suffering the sons and daughters of the front line of the road had suffered in Jiangxi, and they only wanted to comfort them well, but they themselves did not have this awareness, and along the way back to Guangzhou from Nanchang, they were not said to be elated, but they were also in high spirits.
At around 4:20, the second teacher first appeared in the sight of Ji Xingwen and others. In front are tanks, armored vehicles, and in the back are neat military trucks. A blood-smeared and tattered flag fluttered on a tank at the front, silently telling people about the bloody battles that this unit had experienced. The flags, riddled with holes, burn marks, and blood smeared on the side, and the jubilant atmosphere of welcome here seemed a little abrupt. The noisy crowd immediately quieted down, and there were still more than two hundred meters away, and the speed of the convoy slowed down, while a group of left-behind officers and soldiers in military uniforms led by Ji Xingwen stood up and saluted, and many people had tears in their eyes.
"It's back!" Chen Jiayao said softly, and quickly reached out to wipe her tears.
Pan Meiren stood silent, but her raised right hand trembled slightly.
Closer and closer, closer and closer, suddenly the sound of "crackling" firecrackers rang out, and someone from the welcoming crowd lit the small whips placed on the side of the road. The next moment, the lion dance team and the dragon dance team danced to the sound of drums, and someone in the crowd shouted, "Welcome home!" Someone else shouted: "Heroic students! Welcome home! β
"Welcome home!" Tens of thousands of people chanted in unison, and the scene boiled over.
"Lao Ji, Lao Guo, let's go meet them!" Li Hansoul said to Ji Xingwen and Guo Biao, and with a wave of his hand after speaking, someone followed with a wine jar and a pottery bowl.
"It's the second teacher!" Pan Meiren said softly to Chen Jiayao.
The tank slowly drove to a stop in front of the welcoming crowd, the door of an armored car opened, and Liu Zheliang stepped out of the car first, and he led more than a dozen of his men to meet Li Hansoul and the others.
Suddenly, a thunderclap-like roar sounded: "Salute! Liu Zheliang stood still and led all the officers and soldiers of the Second Division to raise their hands and salute.
Ji Xingwen returned the military salute, and Li Hansoul responded, then took a bowl of wine from his hands and handed it over, saying, "Senior Commander Liu, welcome home!" You guys, hard work! Please! β
"Thank you! Happy New Year, Mayor Lee! Liu Zheliang took the wine bowl and said.
Li Hansoul nodded in thanks, and then served water and wine to the brothers behind Liu Zheliang.
Ji Xingwen walked up to Liu Zheliang, first punched him heavily, and said, "Not bad!" It looks like a tiger general! What about the commander-in-chief? Why didn't you see him? β
Liu Zheliang's face flushed with a hint of red, and said, "The commander-in-chief said that our second division performed the best this time and sacrificed the most, so it should go first-"
"That's right, thank you, folks!"
Liu Zheliang glanced back and saw that the brothers around him already had a wine bowl in their hands, so he raised the wine bowl above his head, thanked him around, and said, "Fellow villagers, thank you for coming to meet us in your busy schedule." A total of 110,000 people from six divisions of the Army of the Cadet Army, three divisions of the guerrilla troops, and two brigades of troops directly under the General Headquarters accompanied Commander-in-Chief Ouyang to the north to crusade against the Japanese invaders.
Before he finished speaking, the crowd became a sensation - "Roar", "150,000 devils! β
"Folks, please be quiet!" Ji Xingwen saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and raised his hands and shouted around.
The crowd fell silent, and at this time, Liu Zheliang's words were almost finished-"...... First of all, I salute the brothers who died in this battle! After saying this, he tilted the wine bowl, poured the wine on the cement road in front of him, and said with tears: "Brothers, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I give you a New Year's greeting, these water and wine are respected by the villagers, please drink it full!" β
(Old poison: Ming'er is known as the biggest Singles' Day in this world, and the special six are more respectful, I hope this is the last Singles' Day for all the singles brothers!) οΌ
