Chapter XVII
At this time, the time was the autumn of 1950, and the current situation was that Chiang Kai-shek had fled to Taiwan, and the work of suppressing bandits from the south to the north had entered the final stage, and only a small group of bandits were still active in the deep mountains and old forests, but that was just grasshoppers after the autumn, and there were no days left.
The situation in the whole country is surprisingly good, and after the liberation of China, there are all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, and after the army liberates a city, some soldiers are arranged to be transferred to other jobs and take over the specific work of the city. At present, there is no big battle to be fought, and the main tasks have changed, and the whole country has gone all out to devote themselves to the movement of building a new China.
Liu Kehao's troops received the task of streamlining and reorganizing. In those days, batch after batch of division commanders and regiment commanders who had made outstanding achievements in war changed jobs, and they could not let go of these comrades-in-arms who got along day and night. When bidding farewell to the troops, with tears in their eyes, they turned back step by step and said: When is the time to fight, I will come back. Then, reluctantly left.
Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang were not steady, and one after another their comrades-in-arms changed jobs, some stayed in place, and some returned to their hometowns.
Liu Kehao's regiment has never been streamlined and reorganized, so Wang Yingxiang discussed with Liu Kehao and said: It seems that our regiment has been saved, what are your plans?
Liu Kehao thought about it, in fact, he has been thinking about this question all this time, he can only say: I obey the orders of the organization.
When Wang Yingxiang heard this, she was not happy. She patted her leg and said: Let you transfer jobs and leave the army, and you will obey?
Liu Kehao was dumbfounded. To tell the truth, he didn't want to leave this familiar army and environment, when he came to the northeast to work deep into the enemy's interior, he had already experienced the loneliness, and now he finally returned, as if the wanderer who had left home would never let go of his mother's embrace. But he also understands that he is a member of the organization, and it is the organization that has cultivated him step by step to get to where he is today, and he has no reason and cannot disobey the organization's arrangement.
Wang Yingxiang glanced at him and said regardless of it: I don't care if you leave or not, I won't leave anyway! I'm going to be in the army for the rest of my life.
Liu Kehao shook his head, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Wang Yingxiang said with certainty: You don't believe it? If you don't believe me, we'll see!
A few days after saying this, the commander personally came to their regiment and talked to them. The army commander is the former commander of the Third Division, and he is their old leader. When the army commander introduced the current background to them, Commissar Xie was the first to raise his hand to express his position. Don't look at Political Commissar Xie's usual temperament, at the critical moment, he is not grinding at all, he said with a straight face: I obey the organization's decision. When I get to the place, no matter what work I am asked to do, I will ensure that I complete the task wonderfully as if I was in the army.
The commander was very happy and slapped his face in the air.
After Political Commissar Xie finished speaking, the army commander stopped his gaze on Liu Kehao's face. Liu Kehao stood up, puffed his chest and said: I also obey the organization's arrangement.
When he said this, Wang Yingxiang tugged at the corner of his clothes. When the two of them introduced the situation to the army commander, they quietly whispered a few words-
Wang Yingxiang said: Let me tell you Liu Kehao, if you leave the army, I will divorce you!
Liu Kehao's eyes widened in puzzlement: If you can't leave the army, why do you have to live together?
Wang Yingxiang pestered: I don't care. It is impossible for me to live with a common man, I am married to a soldier and a regiment commander.
Liu Kehao hurriedly asked: Then what if you leave the army?
Wang Yingxiang said without hesitation: It is impossible for me to leave the army. I'm telling you, I'm born a man in the army, and I'm a ghost in the army when I die. I'm just going to stay here and not leave. See what they do with me?
At this time, Liu Kehao made Wang Yingxiang have no choice at all, she could only pull the corners of his clothes. Liu Kehao ignored her small movements and expressed his thoughts to the commander smoothly and clearly.
Liu Kehao had just finished speaking, and before the army commander could ask Wang Yingxiang's opinion, she had already "Teng" stood up, stared at the army commander and said: "Army commander, let me ask you, do you want to change jobs?"
The army commander looked at her in confusion: This army is still there, and of course I, who is the army commander, will not leave. Now that your regiment has been abolished, the cadres will naturally have to change jobs.
Wang Yingxiang said with an iron mouth and steel teeth: Okay, as long as you don't leave, I won't leave. I don't believe it, you can't place me as a big military commander Wang Yingxiang?
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked at her.
At this time, Wang Yingxiang's face turned white. She stared at the army commander and said word by word: Tell you Comrade Commander, I am a person in the army in life and a ghost in the army in death. If you want me to go, you can send someone to break me down with a shot and carry me out of the army!
The army commander stood up, and Political Commissar Xie and Liu Kehao thought that the army commander was going to be angry, and Liu Kehao hurriedly played a round, wanting to ease the current scene. He was just about to speak, but the commander stopped him with a gesture.
The army commander put his hands behind his back, looked at Wang Yingxiang carefully, suddenly laughed, and stretched out his hand, pointed at her and said: Others can obey orders, why don't you obey?
Someone else is someone else, I'm me! If I had to say, it would be that they don't have a deep affection for the troops.
After speaking, she also glared fiercely at Liu Kehao, who was standing on the side, with her eyes.
Liu Kehao hurriedly lost no time in saying: Wang Yingxiang, don't mess around, this is the organization talking to you.
Wang Yingxiang used his arm to block Liu Kehao's outstretched hand: Don't organize the organization, my revolutionary time is not shorter than yours, I don't know the organization yet?
The army commander interrupted their dispute: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, what if I don't agree to your request?
Whether you agree or not is your commander's business. I don't believe that your commander can't arrange for me a little Wang Yingxiang? If you ask me to change jobs, I can't help it, but I won't pay the gun. Speaking of which, she also patted the gun on her waist. Then he said: Then I will go up to the mountains to fight guerrillas, and I will start the revolution from scratch.
The army commander smiled "ho-ho", and then walked around Wang Yingxiang three times.
Wang Yingxiang still said unrelentingly: Commander, what the hell, you give me a happy word.
Speaking from the heart, at this moment, the military commander likes Wang Yingxiang a little. He didn't have much contact with her before, but he knew a little about her from her resume, and Wang Yingxiang at this time was fresh and personal. It was precisely because he liked it that he was really reluctant to let her leave the army.
Thinking of this, the commander smiled and said: Your idea can be considered! When I return to the army, I will discuss your problem with the political commissar again.
Wang Yingxiang stiffened her neck and said: That's not good! I'll let you give me a good word now, or I'll not be able to sleep well.
The commander's tone also hardened: This can't be done! Your matter has not been studied, and I can't answer you alone.
After that, he left. It seems that the commander seems to be angry.
Wang Yingxiang was also anxious when she saw that the army commander was leaving. She shouted at the jeep that was about to start: "Commander, why are you so grinding, you haven't given me a happy word yet!"
The military commander, who was sitting in the car, smiled and waved at her.
Wang Yingxiang was really anxious, and shouted loudly: Guard, lead the horse!
The guards came with their horses. Liu Kehao blocked Wang Yingxiang's way, and he scolded: Wang Yingxiang, what are you going to do?
Wang Yingxiang had already turned over and got on the horse, and she shouted loudly: I want to go to the military headquarters. If the commander doesn't give me an answer today, I won't come back.
After saying that, he beat his horse and chased after the commander.
Liu Kehao didn't stop Wang Yingxiang, his mood was a little low, he said to the political commissar: Political commissar, it's all because I didn't do Wang Yingxiang's work in advance.
Political Commissar Xie lifted his glasses and said: It's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, you just let her go, maybe she will stay.
In the evening, with the sound of horses' hooves, Wang Yingxiang returned to the regiment headquarters.
Political Commissar Xie and Liu Kehao are cleaning up documents. The regiment no longer exists, they have also decided to transfer jobs, and the next step is to hand over.
Wang Yingxiang broke in in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she picked up the teapot from which Liu Kehao drank water, drank it with a "bang", then wiped her mouth and said to the two people who were looking at her in a daze: You can clean up your things, my things don't need to be cleaned up.
Political Commissar Xie asked eagerly: Did the army commander promise you to stay in the team?
Wang Yingxiang proudly brushed her hair and nodded with a smile.
Liu Kehao couldn't imagine that things would be like this, it stands to reason that the most suitable person to change jobs is Wang Yingxiang, a lesbian, no matter what, she is not suitable for fighting, killing and killing, and no one can keep her. Unexpectedly, the person who should not have stayed stayed stayed the most. He was a little dazed and a little puzzled, so he stared at Wang Yingxiang with such eyes.
Wang Yingxiang looked at him proudly and said: What are you staring at me for? I'm telling you, you didn't dream, and if you don't believe you, you will pinch your thigh.
Liu Kehao really pinched himself, and it hurt. He believed he wasn't dreaming anymore.
When the two returned home, Liu Kehao couldn't be happy anyway. He felt that he was a failure, and he couldn't figure it out or understand that he should have stayed, but he didn't; On the contrary, Wang Yingxiang, who should not have stayed, stayed. He couldn't figure it out.
Wang Yingxiang was very excited that night, and fried two dishes as soon as she was happy. During the meal, he also took out a bottle of wine, poured it for Liu Kehao, and poured a bowl for himself. She took the lead in raising the wine bowl and said: Liu Kehao, I am happy today, accompany me to drink a few sips.
Liu Kehao sat there, not moving. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to drink."
You don't sing, I'll drink. After speaking, Wang Yingxiang picked up the wine bowl, took two sips, and then wiped his mouth and said: This wine is really a good thing, you will regret it if you don't drink it.
Liu Kehao stared at her and asked: Did the commander really promise you to stay in the team?
And that's fake?! Tomorrow I will report to the military hospital. I am now the director of the military field hospital, I am not the deputy head of the regiment now, you will call me President Wang Yingxiang in the future. Got it?
After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl again and drank it all in one go. Then, at Liu Kehao, he said with the smell of wine in his mouth: Liu Kehao, I look down on you. You're a deserter, and if you change jobs, you're no longer a soldier. But don't worry, I'll protect you.
Liu Kehao finally got angry: Wang Yingxiang, you are too much!
With that, he drank all the wine in the bowl.
At this time, Wang Yingxiang's wine strength came up, and she didn't take Liu Kehao in her eyes at all: Liu Kehao, although you are a soldier, you are not sincere about the revolution! It's better for me Wang Yingxiang to be a woman. Any idea why I'm staying? Let me tell you, it was my revolutionary determination and enthusiasm that moved the army commander. It's not like you know how to obey the organization, what's that? Have you changed jobs, have you left the army?
Liu Kehao, who was hit, tore off his shirt and shouted with red eyes: Wang Yingxiang, don't be complacent. It's a revolution in the army, and I'll do the same revolution when I get there, and I won't be worse than you!
Wang Yingxiang felt like she was driving the clouds under the influence of alcohol. This feeling is wonderful, she is immersed in happiness and mutters to herself: Kehao, I really can't live without the army! Leaving the army, I don't know what to do? Even if there is no battle in the army, I will show you the gate with a gun and let you build a new China, and I am also happy. Kehao, you don't know me!
At this time, Liu Kehao listened to Wang Yingxiang's whispers with jealousy and envy. In front of her, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and could only accept the reality in front of him.
Early the next morning, people came to the General Hospital of the Military Region. They took Wang Yingxiang to take office.
Within a few days, Political Commissar Xie, Liu Kehao and their bandit suppression group were collectively re-employed.
