Chapter 14: The Yellow Flower of the Battlefield

The battle to liberate Jinan was fought. At that time, the advance regiment led by Liu Kehao took the lead in engaging the enemy's peripheral troops. Having a thorough knowledge of the enemy's military disposition, the advance regiment quickly penetrated the enemy's soft underbelly. The follow-up troops also started the siege according to the plan.

The ambulance team led by Wang Yingxiang has been following behind the siege force, so the two have not met since they separated until the battle began. In the past few days, Wang Yingxiang has completed the transformation of roles, she is no longer the wife of the enemy adjutant Qiao Tianchao, but a field commander, carrying a water bottle and bullet pouch on her left shoulder, and the short gun stuck in her waist.

When this gun was in Jinan, she had been hiding it deeply, and she was afraid that Liu Kehao would know that she would make a fuss about it again. It wasn't until she returned to the team that she took out her gun and had the following conversation with Commander Lu:

This gun was captured by me from a traitor, it was made in the United States, which is good!

Division Commander Lu looked at the gun with wide eyes, then took it in his hand and looked at it, put down the gun and said: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, you have already made a mistake by executing traitors without the consent of the organization; Now you're hiding guns again, it's a mistake on top of a mistake!

Wang Yingxiang didn't raise her eyelids and said: I know, I wrote an inspection for this matter, and asked the organization to punish me. But this gun has to be mine, it has been with me for months, and we both have feelings.

Master Lu put his hands behind his back, glanced at Wang Yingxiang, and then at the gun on the table. Wang Yingxiang was not their teacher before, he didn't know much about her, but he knew her name, and Lu **** was almost a household name Wang Yingxiang's legendary experience. Although the current Wang Yingxiang has experienced thrills, she has returned unscathed, and it cannot be said that this is another legend. He admired the woman in front of him, and when his superiors instructed him to arrange a suitable job for Wang Yingxiang in the division, he had a hunch that this was a hot potato; But on the other hand, it's a good piece of steel! Even if it is good steel, it should be used on the blade. Sure enough, as soon as Wang Yingxiang appeared, he kicked a difficult ball in front of him.

Speaking from the heart, Commander Lu, who was accustomed to fighting in the south and the north, liked this angular girl very much, he walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and then turned around again, and then said with a smile: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, you are not afraid that I will report to my superiors about hiding guns?

Wang Yingxiang said with iron mouths and steel teeth: Don't be afraid! Whether to hide the gun or not is my business, and whether to report or not is your business.

Although her words were full of guns and sticks, Master Lu still didn't mean to be angry, but admired her more and more. So, he waved his hand and said, "You never told me about guns, and I don't know about guns."

Wang Yingxiang listened, grabbed the gun from the table, stuck it in his waist, and happily saluted Commander Lu: Thank you, Commander.

Master Lu turned around and said, "Thank me for what?" If you want to thank you, thank Liu Kehao, it was he who didn't report you.

Wang Yingxiang said with a smile: He doesn't know about this.

Speaking of Liu Kehao, she doesn't know what happened to her during this time, her shadow is always dancing in front of her, and of course Li Zhi is also dangling in front of her. As soon as she returned to the team, she was inquiring about Li Zhi's news, and knowing that he was fighting in Zhengzhou, her hanging heart was also relieved. Zhengzhou is not far from Jinan, maybe when Jinan is liberated, she will be able to meet Li Zhi. While thinking about Li Zhi, she was also thinking about Liu Kehao, and she couldn't tell what was going on.

Wang Yingxiang finally met Liu Kehao again. That was half a month after they had been apart. The Battle of Jinan is now coming to an end, and the battle has reached such an extent that it is already a chaotic situation in which we have the enemy and we have the enemy.

Liu Kehao's advance team killed from west to east, and from east to south, and had already killed a few back and forth in the city of Jinan. The enemy first lost the position, and then could not hold it, so they scattered and fled, and those high-ranking commanders had already fled to Nanjing and Chongqing with their families, leaving only some low-ranking officers to supervise the battle and resist, trying their best to delay the liberation of Jinan.

Wang Yingxiang's ambulance team has been in and out of the battlefield countless times. The field hospital was first built outside the city, and as the troops entered the city, the field hospital was also moved forward.

Entering the street fighting stage, the number of casualties is getting bigger and bigger, and long before the battle starts, the ambulance team has set up a reserve, which is composed of some strong fellow villagers. Weapons and ammunition dropped by the enemy were everywhere, and Wang Yingxiang quickly armed this half-army, half-civilian ambulance team, she knew that without weapons on the battlefield, there was no right to speak.

Sure enough, these armed ambulances came in handy at a critical moment. On the southern outskirts of Jinan, the troops encountered the fiercest resistance from the enemy, the enemy's blocking force, whose task was to cover the rout of the large force on the southern front.

The place where the fighting is most intense is naturally the place where the ambulance team haunts the most. Wang Yingxiang rushed to the position with more than a dozen stretchers and more than 20 ambulance crews. When she commanded the ambulance crew to rescue the wounded soldiers, she realized that it was the advance team that was exchanging fire with the enemy. Since it was an advance group, it was impossible for her not to think of Liu Kehao, thinking that she was fighting side by side with Liu Kehao, her heart was full of energy.

When the ambulance team came to the forward position for the second time, the situation of the war changed again, and the offensive and defensive sides were already stuck together. When the ambulance crew carried a group of wounded people down, they mistakenly broke into the enemy's position. These were a few dilapidated courtyards, and when they first passed here, they had not yet found the enemy, but this time they had just walked a few courtyards and were surrounded by enemies. These were dozens of scattered enemies, and they wanted to rely on these courtyards to rest and recuperate, but they didn't expect to encounter the people of the ambulance team. The enemy, after all, was a well-trained regular army, and they quickly surrounded the ambulance team and the wounded.

After the battle started, Wang Yingxiang was excited from beginning to end, she was greedy to see others fighting, but she knew that she couldn't leave her rescue work, it was her duty after all. Listening to the sound of gunfire around her, her hands itched so much, and this sudden encounter gave her a chance to enjoy it.

Like a combat commander, she ordered the ambulance team to retreat into the courtyard first, and then led the half-army and half-civilian ambulance crews to start a battle of ambush and counter-ambush, encirclement and counter-encirclement with the enemy. The wounded, who were lying on the stretcher, also rolled off the stretcher, gritted their teeth and threw themselves into the encounter.

The enemy wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, and the artillery fire became more and more intense. If it weren't for Wang Yingxiang's love of fighting, she could have left a few people to block, and the rest could have evacuated safely, but in the face of dozens of remnants of the soldiers, her desire to fight was so great that she was stuck with the enemy. This local battle can be said to be evenly fought, and the fierceness is unusually fierce.

One by one, the enemy fell, and some of the ambulance team died honorably. At this moment, Liu Kehao discovered the battle here, and he saw Wang Yingxiang in the fierce battle in the telescope. He immediately led the men of the guard platoon to reinforce this side.

Wang Yingxiang became more and more courageous, she shot left and right, while shooting, she still said in her mouth: Let you taste the power of your aunt! Look at this gun!

Not only did she shoot fiercely herself, but she also did not forget to encourage the people around her to hit hard.

At this moment, the guard platoon led by Liu Kehao arrived. With a single charge, the enemy was beaten to pieces.

Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang met again on this occasion. At that time, Liu Kehao was riding on a horse, he waved a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and shouted at Wang Yingxiang: You take the ambulance team and withdraw quickly!

Wang Yingxiang carried a gun, raised her head and yelled at Liu Kehao on the horse: Why are you here? If you don't come, we can clean them up.

Liu Kehao simply raised his voice: Your task is not to fight, but to rescue the wounded, and you have forgotten your work.

Wang Yingxiang looked at the fleeing enemy, and pointed at Liu Kehao with his finger and said: Don't think that only your advance team can kill the enemy, and so can our ambulance team. If you don't come, the enemy won't want to take advantage.

Liu Kehao finally became angry: I order you to leave here immediately with people!

Wang Yingxiang waved his hand and shouted at the ambulance team: Withdraw, withdraw, what's the big deal.

With that, he stuck the gun on his belt and withdrew to the rear with his teammates.

Liu Kehao rode on the horse, looked at Wang Yingxiang's distant back, and shook his head helplessly.

In Liu Kehao's heart, Wang Yingxiang is an excellent warrior, her bravery and love and hate are so strong and distinct. In the work exchanges that penetrated into the enemy's interior, he had already firmly believed this, and with such a determined comrade-in-arms by his side, he was down-to-earth. However, all this cannot hide Wang Yingxiang's shortcomings, that is, she has courage and no strategy. To work in the heart of the enemy, courage alone is not enough, but also reason and strategy, and Wang Yingxiang lacks such qualities.

Now on the battlefield, Liu Kehao once again appreciated Wang Yingxiang's bravery and fearlessness, but this time she did not make Liu Kehao feel disgusted, if he was Wang Yingxiang, he would also fight with the enemy with real swords, otherwise, the ambulance team would suffer heavy casualties, along with those innocent wounded. But in front of Wang Yingxiang, he didn't like to say words of praise, maybe he knew her too well, and even regarded her as his right and left hand, so he reprimanded her as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't tell what kind of emotion he had for her like this. At this time, Wang Yingxiang is no longer Wang Xiaofeng at that time, looking at her sassy and heroic appearance, the image of the former Mrs. Qiao Tianchao has gradually faded away. Now she annoys and loves him, and he can't figure out what it's like for a while.

After the Battle of Jinan, the battle to liberate Xuzhou began again. During this period, the two men had met, but they were all in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to say hello. He was on the horse, beckoning to her, and when she saw it, she waved her hand and shouted: I wish your advance regiment another victory.

Before her shouts could land, he had already beaten his horse away, along with his team.

The two met again after the Battle of Xuzhou.

Liu Kehao was wounded, and when he led his troops to charge, he was hit by a stray bullet, fell off his horse, and fainted.

When he came back to his senses, he had undergone surgery and was lying in a makeshift ward set up in a tent. To be exact, he was awakened by an almost beastly scream. The voice kept shouting: Doctor, doctor, can I save my leg-

The doctor was busy in the other rooms, apparently not having time to pay attention to the voice.

Liu Kehao felt that the voice was very familiar, and he followed the prestige and saw Wang Yingxiang. Sure enough, it was her, and I saw that she was half lying on the ground, and all the wounded were also lying on the hay floor.

When he saw Wang Yingxiang, he could hardly believe his eyes. He shouted softly in pain: Wang Yingxiang-

Wang Yingxiang saw him at a glance and exclaimed: God, why are you lying here. Then he propped himself up and asked with concern: Where is the injury, is it serious?

He pointed his finger at his chest, barely squeezing out a smile: this is not alive again. How are you?

Wang Yingxiang said with a crying voice: My leg may be finished, why don't I feel it at all. Without legs, how can I be revolutionary?

At this time, a doctor walked in and said to Wang Yingxiang: Comrade, don't shout, there are all wounded here, and you need to be quiet.

Wang Yingxiang grabbed the doctor: Doctor, where is my leg?

Doesn't it grow on you?

Why doesn't it feel at all? Wang Yingxiang grabbed the doctor's hand and held on.

I just had surgery, and the anesthetic hasn't passed yet.

After listening to the doctor's words, Wang Yingxiang's mood calmed down. She lay there softly and smiled embarrassedly at Liu Kehao: I have been injured before, but I have not been injured in my leg, and I have no bottom in my heart.

Since both of them were injured, after the liberation of Xuzhou, they were transferred to the rear hospital together. The field hospital, along with the troops, was again driven south.

Wang Yingxiang can already walk on crutches. Liu Kehao's wounds have not fully healed, and he walks carefully. Two people often meet unexpectedly in such a state, and when they meet, they ask each other: What is your injury, is it better?

Wang Yingxiang patted the injured leg, hated the iron and said: You said that the injury is not good, why did it hurt the leg, if it wasn't for the leg injury, I would not be lying here. At this time, he was following the troops all the way south to Lao Chiang's hometown.

Liu Kehao didn't say anything, just smiled. In fact, he was also anxious in his heart, not long after returning to the army, it can be said that he was injured as soon as he found the feeling of fighting. Although he didn't hurt his leg like Wang Yingxiang, didn't he go south with the team? On this issue, he didn't want to say anything more to her, and he couldn't say it clearly. So, the two of them sat on a rock, looking at the sun above their heads, enjoying a brief period of peace and warmth.

After a while, she suddenly asked: You say, it's time for our team to cross the river, right?

He raised the newspaper in his hand and said: Our red flag has been planted in the presidential palace, and Nanjing has been liberated.

She blushed, looked at the southern sky, and said with envy: "It's so good."

At this time, she remembered Li Zhi again. She knew that several armies had converged along the Yangtze River, and there must be Li Zhi there. If she hadn't been injured, maybe she would have joined Li Zhi, and at this moment, she should be walking with Li Zhi on the streets of Nanjing, enjoying the joy after the victory.

After the end of the guerrilla campaign, she secretly wrote a letter to Li Zhi. She didn't know if Li Zhi could receive her letter, but until now, she hadn't seen Li Zhi's letter.

Li Zhi is not only her partner from birth to death, but also her first love. Although the two of them have not confessed positively, Li Zhi's attitude towards her can be seen by fools. If he hadn't gone to the Northeast to carry out a mission, maybe he would have married Li Zhi a long time ago. Thinking of this, she still blushed and her heart beats, and at the same time, she also felt the real Liu Kehao around her.

She secretly glanced at Liu Kehao on the side, and felt a little sorry for him, she didn't know why she had such thoughts. In all fairness, Liu Kehao is no worse than Li Zhi, the two have been working and living together for so long, she didn't think about it, it was entirely because of Li Zhi, but who made Liu Kehao a step late? After thinking about it, her heart calmed down a lot.

On the quiet days of the rear hospital, they met frequently, and either he went to see her in the ward, or she came and went. Such a day makes the two people seem to have returned to their former lives.

One day, she finally couldn't help but say: When I have the opportunity, I will let you know someone.

What kind of people? It's so mysterious. He looked at her curiously.

She said proudly: His name is Li Zhi, he is from Sanye, and he has been my partner.

When he was in the Northeast and Jinan, he seemed to remember that she mentioned Li Zhi's name, but at that time he didn't take it too seriously, at that time he only thought that it was her familiar comrade-in-arms, and didn't he often put the name of his comrade-in-arms on his lips?

This time, that time. Now when she mentions Li Zhi again, his heart is cloudy and rainy for a while, and then he stares into her eyes and asks: Is Li Zhi your fiancé?

When he asked this, it was like lighting a pile of dry wood in her heart, and she not only blushed, but also became hot all over her body, and the wound on her leg also "suddenly" throbbed and hurt.

Without her answer, he already understood.

He lowered his head and said slowly: When you are healed and return to the team, you will see him.

She suddenly grabbed his hand with one hand and said anxiously: Liu Kehao, I'm sorry! Then, he walked away without turning his head.

Looking at her back, he didn't understand for a moment.

The turning point of events came a few days later.

It was an afternoon, the sun was still shining, and a few sparrows were squeaking in the branches outside the window. Liu Kehao had a dream that he was back when he was a child. His mother took his hand and kept asking him if he was still hungry. He said, "Not hungry." But the mother was as if she had not heard. So he woke up. When he woke up, he really thought of his mother, and he felt the desire to cry.

At this time, he heard Wang Yingxiang shouting loudly in the corridor: Liu Kehao, come out.

He didn't know what was going on and hurriedly walked out. Wang Yingxiang had already taken the lead in leaving, leaving only the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

The two men sat down on the same stone on which they had been sitting. He suddenly noticed that she seemed to have cried, and in the midst of his doubts, she pulled a letter out of her bosom. He hesitated to take it, it was a letter from the battlefield, the envelope could vaguely smell the smell of fireworks, the corner of the envelope was burned, and after many tosses, it was no longer possible to see its original face.

He held up the inexplicable letter, at a loss.

Wang Yingxiang said angrily: If you want to watch it, you can watch it, what are you grinding?

He opened the letter without knowing the truth. It turned out that this letter was written by Li Zhi, and Li Zhi said in the letter: I felt very sudden when I received Wang Yingxiang's letter, they had been in and out of the picture for a long time, and he only knew that Wang Yingxiang was on a mission, and he didn't know that she was breaking into the enemy's interior. He is now the director of the division's political department, and at the same time congratulates Wang Yingxiang on returning to the team again, and hopes that she will work hard to improve. At the end of the letter, he also said lightly that after the liberation of Zhengzhou, he got married, and his wife was their comrade-in-arms Liu Yang, whom she knew. Finally, I sincerely wish her to find her other half in the revolutionary ranks as soon as possible.

Liu Kehao understood everything after reading the letter, he wanted to comfort her a few words, but he didn't know how to speak. She snatched the letter, tore it a few times, and threw it in the wind. The pieces of paper that had experienced the smoke and flames of war scattered in all directions.

She suddenly burst into tears twice, and said to him headlessly: You men are liars!

After speaking, he walked away on crutches.
