Yes, Luo Wei didn't go to the city for anything else, that is, to submit an application form to the military headquarters to participate in the Northern Expedition.

When the old cat was recruited away, there was no sound, and he didn't even send a notice, and when Luo Wei found out, he had been gone for almost a day, although he didn't understand why the old cat didn't bring himself, but he couldn't ask if he wanted to.

The reason why Luo Wei wants to participate in the Northern Expedition is very simple and very realistic: to remember merit and be promoted.

War is a meat grinder, strangled not only the flesh and blood of the rank-and-file soldiers, but also a large number of high-ranking officers, who either died in attack, or were dismissed because of the unfavorable battle, or fell down for various reasons, vacating their positions.

In this way, soldiers who have excellent performance in the war will rise like rockets, and the cold kite is very representative.

In the Patriotic War of Honkai for 3 years, Leng Kite was a captain at the time, and became famous in World War I, when other high-ranking officers died in battle, she led the team out of the sea of corpses and blood, and was promoted from captain to colonel in three months.

Although this is an extreme case, it also reflects the catalytic effect of war on promotion, and with artillery fire and death comes unimaginable temptation, which can make soldiers rush to it, regardless of life and death, which is why so many war maniacs are born.

Luo Wei is unwilling to let go of this kind of opportunity, if he can be promoted as soon as possible, he can also get closer to Luo Wei's intelligence.

But for some reason, every time Luo Wei submitted an application for support, the military region would directly refuse, and it was like this ten times over and over again, which made him a little annoyed.

Tie Niu could feel that Luo Wei was unhappy, he smiled and said, "Little brother, do you expect to be promoted in the war?" In fact, rejection is not a bad thing, you only see those who survive to be promoted like rockets, but have you ever seen those white bones who died in the war? ”

Luo Wei said coldly: "I won't die. ”

"Hahaha, Comrade Captain, if you really walk in front of the meat grinder of war, it's up to you whether you live or die." Tie Niu looked at Luo Wei and said deeply, "I know you're not convinced, Red Furious Fangs, right?" It's famous, but I dare say you haven't experienced a real war. ”

Before Luo Wei could speak, Tie Niu lit a cigarette and said lightly: "In the blockade of Xicheng, you are only attacking one of the hundreds of defense lines, and there are no more than a thousand soldiers, and there are only dozens of tanks and artillery when they are full." This time, your wilderness expeditionary force is also dispatched, how many people have you met? Survive and meet a regiment, more than a thousand people, can this be called a war? ”

Tie Niu took a puff of cigarette fiercely, as if he remembered something terrible, his fingers trembled a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Little brother, you have never seen a real war, so you will never understand that hundreds of tanks are coming at you, every inch of soil has a baptism of shells, and the despair of comrades being slapped to death one by one like flies. ”

Qiqi added at this time: "Tie Niu participated in the whole process of the Battle of Songjiang. ”

Luo Wei unconsciously shrank his pupils, the Battle of Songjiang was the main battlefield of the Patriotic War of Honkai for 3 years, the entire Great Patriotic War lasted for three months, and the Battle of Songjiang alone lasted for two and a half months, which was one of the largest and most tragic battles.

In the entire Songjiang Campaign, the Republic and the Federal Heavy Industry Corps invested a total of more than 1.1 million soldiers, and in the end, the Republic lost more than 400,000 people, destroyed more than 5,000 tanks, more than 2,000 artillery pieces, and more than 800 fighters. The cost of the Federal Heavy Industries Corps was more than 70,000 casualties, 900 tanks destroyed, more than 1,100 artillery pieces, and more than 400 air force losses, including Valkyrie units.

After this battle, the Radiance of the Republic completely lost the initiative on the battlefield, and it was difficult to launch a threatening offensive, and the next half a month was repeatedly broken by the Federation's mechanized troops, and finally had to surrender.

The Battle of Songjiang is therefore known as the meat grinder of the Great Patriotic War, and the people who survived this battle really crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and there are almost no intact bodies, and those who only have one broken leg like Tie Niu are already very lucky.

A million-person war, Luo Wei didn't know what the concept was, as Tie Niu said, he had at most hit the positions of more than 1,000 people, and in the Xicheng blockade battle, although the total number of Leng Luan's group army exceeded 60,000, he was only facing one of the defense lines, and it was still only more than 1,000 people.

If Luo Wei was a little contemptuous of Tie Niu before, but after learning that this man had survived the Battle of Songjiang, he felt that Tie Niu had more say than him on the topic of war.

Tie Niu gulped his eyes, his eyes began to be a little trance-like, and he said abruptly: "Dog's war, seriously, who the fuck wants to fight!" The Great Patriotic War is also, this Northern Expedition is also, Xuchang War, more than 700,000 people were bombarded by begonias for a day and a night, what a fucking brute! But what can be done, sometimes you have to fight! You don't kill more here, and more people will die in the future! So Lao Tzu admires Leng Kite, no matter what his talent is, at least dare to stand up, someone dares to stand up, and there is hope for this country! ”

Tie Niu didn't know if he drank too much wine or smoked too much, his mental condition was not very good, Qiqi seemed to often encounter such a situation, took out the cool oil and dipped it on his fingers, rubbed his temples for Lao Niu, and then said to Luo Wei: "I have said everything that should be said, go back, don't submit the application again, wait for when the north really needs you to go on, now if you can live first, live well." ”

After Qiqi finished speaking, she beckoned a few big men, picked up the iron bull, and helped him to the bed in the background to rest.

Luo Wei didn't stay long, he ate something and left, he went to the bank, kept a small part of his living expenses for himself, and then remitted all the bonuses he received from this battle, plus the salary of his service, to his future account to pay for Xiaozi's medical expenses.

No one forced Luo Wei to do this, he just didn't want to owe the girl who kissed him once.

When leaving Lin'an, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, Luo Wei opened his red umbrella, walking in the city alleys, suddenly heard a troubadour singing, melodious tune with a faint sad melody, and the late autumn rain mixed together, falling on the red umbrella like flowing fire, as if telling a poignant story:

"We've all been together, even if we go our separate ways; The rain falls like cherry blossoms, taking you to the other side of the river; Although I am only a small petal, and I am separated from you; But I won't say goodbye easily, and exchange tears for your hesitation; Just one day you can come back and take me back to the place where I first met..."

I don't know when this song became popular, but I know that it is called "Painting in the Rain", I heard that a certain poet saw a pair of men and women with umbrellas on a rainy day, so he was inspired and wrote this popular song on the streets, and finally became two popular classics together with "Begonia".

What the original story of this song was, and who the man and woman were, no one knows...
