Section 238 A thousand cups of wine are few for a confidant

The three of them fell silent for a while, obviously because the matter they were talking about came too suddenly, and both the process and the ending were shocking, so that after a while, everyone still kept an eye on the matter, trying to find out what happened.

It turned out that a few days ago, Liao Lingqi, the commander of the 58th Division, was suddenly shot for the crime of escaping from the battle, and he was directly killed without even going to the military court. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the officers and men of the 74th Army, especially the officers and men of the 58th Division, because everyone knew that before the Battle of Changsha began, Liao Lingqi took leave to go home to save his relatives, and it was not until after the loss of Changsha that the 74th Army retreated to the front line of Liuyang, and he did not return to the team. This is because he heard the news of the 74th Army's participation in the war halfway, so he hurriedly came back and wanted to fight with the brothers.

Finally, it was the stone that broke the calm here and asked, "Brother Zhang, Liao Shizuo did go to the province before the war, right?" ”

Zhang Lingfu shook his head and said, "Stone, don't ask, I don't know much more about this matter than you." When Brother Liao went home to save his relatives, I personally sent him on his way. Unexpectedly, not long after he came back, he called for a meeting, and then came the news that Brother Liao had escaped in battle and was shot. Speaking of this, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but say miserably: "The dignified major general, the commander of the first division, and the pillar of the country, was shot without even going to the military court, what kind of country is this?" ”

Yu Chengwan on the side also said with emotion: "From ancient times to the present, a strong country must be a country with strict governance. I didn't expect that the legal system would collapse and everything would come according to personal preferences. This is really a joke, personal preference can determine a person's life and death, so why bother to fight for faith and freedom? What's even more ridiculous is that after the death of Commander Liao, he was buried in accordance with the regulations of martyrdom in the Anti-Japanese War. ”

The more Shi listened to the frowning brows on the side, and the more he listened, the more confused he became about the shooting of Master Liao, and after thinking about it, he continued to ask: "Two brothers, according to what you say, is Brother Liao really dead in vain?" ”

Zhang Lingfu nodded solemnly and said: "It is rumored that Brother Liao was convicted of escaping from the battle, but before the battle began, he had already taken a leave to visit his relatives, and when he returned, the battle was almost over, and he didn't even participate in this battle, so how could he escape?" If he is convicted just because he has not returned from vacation, then who will dare to take a leave of absence to visit his family in the future? ”

Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he thought that there must be a secret in it that he didn't know, but now that he didn't understand this secret, he knew this, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart. As a result, he couldn't help but think of what happened to him after the Battle of Shanggao, why the people of the military commander would come to investigate him under inexplicable circumstances, this is simply something out of nowhere, he has been fighting for several years, which the officers at all levels of the peak know, but why did the people of the military commander still come. Behind the investigation of the military command, who wants to harm himself?

Just as he was thinking about the stone, Yu Chengwan on the side couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Zhong Lin, Brother Liao is arrogant and arrogant, and his temper is also very upright, and he usually offends a lot of people. This time, maybe some people just found an excuse to get rid of him, and slandered him at the time of the unfavorable Battle of Changsha, so that Brother Liao ended up like this. We don't need to be so obsessed, this kind of thing, maybe it will fall on our heads one day, and the left and right are just cheap lives, let them toss it! ”

Zhang Lingfu snorted coldly and said: "Brother Jianshi, it is precisely because of a cheap life that we should cherish it more, if it is in the hands of devils and dies on the road of charging, then it is a well-deserved death, and it is glorious to die for the righteousness of the nation." But to die inexplicably at the hands of these villains like now, under the Nine Springs, wouldn't it make the other brothers laugh. After a pause, he sneered and said: "Brother Liao, the 58th Division is scattered, the four regiment commanders have left three people, and most of the officers and soldiers below have run away, plus the losses in the first battle of Changsha, the entire 58th Division has only more than 1,000 veterans left, and there is an urgent shortage of officers. ”

Yu Chengwan also sighed bitterly: "This battle is not only the 58th Division's heavy losses, we have also suffered very amazing losses in a few battles in Chunhua Mountain, even the independent regiment of the stone, the situation is not much better after being broken alone, with the strength of the devil, I dare not catch up with the back, obviously I was hurt by the stone." Calculated in this way, up to now, the best preserved strength of our 74th Army is actually Li Tianxia of the 51st Division. ”

Referring to the only commander of the 74th Army who was not present, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but say disdainfully: "What kind of battle will this kind of person fight?" How can he have the courage to fight the devil? If the commander of the 51st Division had been a stone, the combat effectiveness of our 74th Army would have to be doubled, and the previous battle at Laodao River would not have been fought so hard. Although the independent regiment of the Stone Brothers is amazingly combative, it is too small in strength. ”

"After the battle of Shanggao, I said so, but Shishi's qualifications are still a little shallow, not to mention that compared with Li Tianxia, even compared to Zhou Zhidao, it is far inferior. If Shi Shi is promoted to division commander, what will Zhou Zhidao do? When he was the brigade commander, Shi Shi was the regiment commander under him, so he couldn't be the division commander of Shi Shi, but it was still on his head, right? Yu Chengwan said quite strangely.

Zhang Lingfu didn't think so, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Jianshi doesn't know the current situation. Although we had a long confrontation with the Japanese army around Wuhan, and as time went on, the situation became more and more unfavorable to the devils as the battlefield on the sea opened. But in any case, half of our country is under the invasion of devils, and we are also under the threat of the enemy. On the battlefield, the capable should go up, the weak go down, and one general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies, because of the incompetence of the commander, in the past few years, how many soldiers have the whole army been in vain? ”

"That's what I said, but the situation of each army is too complicated, if nothing else, let's just talk about the factions in this army, how many people are really fighting the war, and how many troops are perfunctory? In some units, even the appointment of officers is not controlled by the Military Commission, let alone others. Brother Zhong Lin, the country is so weak, if you want to rise suddenly, it's difficult! Yu Chengwan said on the side.

Shi couldn't help but be a little speechless, he didn't know how to talk about it, and the topic came to him, in fact, his thoughts were very simple, he didn't think about it at all. Otherwise, when the military seat asked him to choose the position of brigade commander and independent regiment commander, he would not have stayed without thinking about it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but interject and said: "Two brothers, it's useless to talk about these things, it's rare to get together here today, I don't know when I'll be free again, I will toast the two brothers with a cup first, and wish the two brothers more achievements and more achievements." ”

The two couldn't help but raise their wine glasses when they heard this, and Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect to wait until you toast me with a glass of wine, it's really not easy." This cup is going to be dry! After all, he was also unambiguous, tilting his neck in vain, and drinking not a drop of a glass of wine.

"Good amount of wine, so arrogant!" Yu Chengwan couldn't help but praise when he saw this.

Zhang Lingfu wiped his mouth, his face was also relaxed, and he said with emotion: "Brother Jianshi may not know, seeing the stone like this now, I can't help but think of the first time I saw him on the battlefield in Songhu. Unexpectedly, more than four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi is now actually a major general, not only is he still strong, but he also single-handedly brought out an invincible and invincible iron army, which is really unbelievable. ”

Shi Shi also seemed to remember the past, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "At that time, thanks to Brother Zhang's help, if it wasn't for Brother Zhang's teaching, where would I know how to lead troops to fight?" Without Brother Zhang's words and deeds, not only I might have been finished, but even the brothers under me might have ended up with me. Brother Zhang, this glass of wine, I salute you for those brothers in the group! ”

Zhang Lingfu nodded, and then drank it again, but after two large glasses of wine, his face couldn't help but turn red, but his eyes became clearer and clearer.

Yu Chengwan, who was on the side, also said on the side at this time: "I have long heard that Brother Zhong Lin gave books and notes to Brother Shi, but today I still heard you talk about it for the first time, tsk, Shi, you are really a genius, you have today's achievements with just some books and notes, how many graduates of military schools do you have to be ashamed to find a hole to get into." ”

"But, this glass of wine, I don't respect you for having such a talent, but on behalf of our brothers in the 57th Division, I would like to thank the brothers of the Independent Regiment for several rescues, including the last battle of Shanggao, you have saved our 57th Division several times, this kindness will be returned slowly in the future, today's glass of wine, is to show your heart." Yu Chengwan said, just drink it all first.

And Zhang Lingfu on the side was also silent, and together with Yu Chengwan, he suddenly drank the wine in the cup.

"This glass of wine is ......"
