Section 62 Lame General

The stone was far away on the side of the road leading to Yifeng, and since hearing the news of Zhang Lingfu's return to Wanzai, he had been unable to suppress his excitement. Although he is already in the high position of the independent head of the major general at the moment, and he is almost equal to Zhang Lingfu, but somehow, when facing Brother Zhang, he seems to feel that he is still the hairy soldier who doesn't understand anything, maybe the past two years have passed too fast, and the speed of his promotion is too amazing! It took two years to go from an ordinary soldier to his current position, something that had never happened before.

The snow was still drifting, but the stones stood on the side of the road like stakes, allowing the snowflakes to fall on him, and before he knew it, a thick layer had been piled on his military hat and coat. He didn't care about this, just looked into the distance, and his eyes were full of excitement from time to time. Beside him, Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang, Xiao Shandong and others rubbed their hands and talked from time to time, and their excitement was completely revealed in their appearances.

I don't know how long it took, but Xiaoshan yelled excitedly: "Here, here, here they are!" ”

Everyone looked up when they heard the sound, and saw a jeep military vehicle coming on the road at the far end, perhaps because it was snowing, the ground was frozen, and the speed of the car was not fast, but in this white world, the body of the green car was very eye-catching. Shi finally recovered from the "petrified" state, and said as he walked forward: "Let's go, let's pick up Brother Zhang." ”

The car stopped in front of them, the door opened, and immediately revealed a heroic face, the original serious face, at this moment there was a rare warm smile, as if to melt all the snow in this winter, and the person who made people warm up and down was Zhang Lingfu, the former commander of the 153 Brigade who had not been seen for half a year. It's just that I haven't seen him for such a long time, Zhang Lingfu seems to have lost a lot of weight, and his sunken eyes seem to be more and more profound.

"Brother Zhang, is it really you?" After seeing the people in the car clearly, Shi uncharacteristically did not salute, and shouted excitedly.

His shout also seemed to break the calm atmosphere here, Zhang Lingfu in the car "haha" smiled, immediately got out of the car, and met the stone and came to a bear hug. This kind of greeting is not commonly used in the national army, but at this moment, the relationship between them is becoming more and more intimate. I only heard Zhang Lingfu smile happily: "It's a great blessing in life to be alive to see you." ”

The stone was stunned by Zhang Lingfu's actions at first, and then relaxed, and he also said happily: "What did Brother Zhang say, killing enemies on the battlefield and getting injured is inevitable, I heard a few days ago that Brother Zhang was recuperating in Hong Kong, why did he come back so soon?" ”

At this time, on the other side of the car, Lu Xing, who didn't know when he would get down, said before Zhang Lingfu spoke: "Brother Zhang was not only injured in his leg last time, but I'm afraid his brain was also injured." It is said that he saw a newspaper saying that it was not suitable for soldiers to recuperate in the hospital during wartime, so he ran back alone. I don't know which bastard wrote these nonsense things, if you are injured and don't recuperate in the hospital, do you still have to wait for death on the battlefield? So what the fuck do you need a doctor for? What is the purpose of building a hospital? ”

Hearing this, Shi couldn't help but look at Zhang Lingfu with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "Brother Zhang ran back secretly?" ”

Zhang Lingfu laughed and said: "Don't listen to Huanran's nonsense here, I'm almost healed from my injuries, and I came back early when I was not feeling well in the hospital, where did I sneak back?" If the injury is not healed, can I get along with my body? ”

At this time, Liu Wenfeng and others on the side had time to come up to salute, although they already had the rank of lieutenant colonel and major, but when Zhang Lingfu became a colonel, they were still some big-headed soldiers, and the momentum of being in the top position for a long time was not at all comparable to those who had been promoted in a short period of time like them, so their demeanor couldn't help but be very respectful, just like when they first saw Zhang Lingfu.

Looking at these insignificant soldiers not long ago, now they are all battle-hardened generals, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but sigh greatly, he returned the salute one by one, and kept admonishing in his mouth: "Yes, yes, they are all soldiers who were killed from the bloody battle in Luodian, and they are indeed the fierce generals of the three armies. It will definitely be able to create brilliance again. ”

"Obey Chief Zhang's teachings!" Liu Wenfeng and the others responded in unison.

"Let's go, go into the city, the snow is so big, this is not the place to talk, it's rare for Brother Zhang to come back, I'm happy today, then make an exception, everyone has a drink today, don't get drunk and don't return." The stone also greeted everyone warmly.

These words immediately attracted Lu Xing's laughter, only to hear him shout on the side: "I have heard that Mrs. Shi is gentle and virtuous, and the skill of cooking is a must, I don't want to go to any restaurant today, I must try the dishes cooked by my brother and sister, and it is not in vain that I have traveled so far to see you on such a cold day." ”

"Since Brother Huan Ran opened this mouth, I naturally won't sweep your interest, it just so happens that Brother Zhang hasn't seen it yet, so I called him to give Brother Zhang a salute today." The stone replied with a smile.

Zhang Lingfu nodded and said, "When you got married, I was recuperating from my injuries, and I only asked someone to bring a gift, don't be surprised." I heard that my younger brother and sister are the fiancées of Zheng Pusheng and Camp Commander Zheng? The military doctor who once had a relationship in the city of Nanjing? ”

Shi nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zheng asked me to take care of my sister-in-law for him before he died, and now that I have married my sister-in-law, I don't know if Brother Zheng will blame me if he knows it." ”

Zhang Lingfu shook his head and sighed: "With your current identity and status, what kind of woman can't you marry?" If you let it out, I'm afraid that people who want to give their daughters to you as daughters-in-law can at least form a reinforced platoon. Stone you are in a high position, you can still remember the old brothers, and you can keep the oath of the past, it is really not easy, but also admirable. As for Zheng Pusheng, presumably he entrusted his fiancée to you before he died, and he had the intention of letting you replace him, and you did this just to fulfill his wish, so how could he blame you for saying that? ”

"Officials, let's go back first! The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and if we stay a little longer, I'm afraid we'll all be buried alive. Liu Wenfeng shouted from the side.

"Okay, let's talk while we go!" Zhang Lingfu said, and walked in the direction of Yifeng County first. It was only at this time that the stone found in vain that Zhang Lingfu was different from the calm, only to see Zhang Lingfu, who was originally walking vigorously, was limping at the moment, and even held a Japanese adjutant knife with a scabbard in his hand as a crutch, which immediately made the stone dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhang Lingfu seemed to sense their strangeness, and couldn't help but stop and look back and ask, "What's wrong?" ”

Shi hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Zhang, your legs ......?"

Zhang Lingfu shook his head with a smile and said, "You kid, why can't you even look at this little thing?" When a soldier fights, sooner or later he will die on the battlefield one day, this is the fate of soldiers, and it is also the glory of our soldiers, and now I am just lame, what is there to make a fuss about? I can still command troops to fight, and I can still lead my brothers to kill devils together, and I am already satisfied to have such a situation. ”

At this time, Shi only knew why Lu Xing said that Zhang Lingfu had secretly run back, obviously what Lu Xing said was true, the reason why Zhang Lingfu was sent to Hong Kong from Ji'an to recuperate, obviously there was a chance of full recovery, but he was discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule and insisted on returning to the army. Although Shi also knew that Zhang Lingfu was right, when he was a soldier and fighting, even his life was pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and a little injury and a broken leg were nothing at all, but seeing this person who had always taken care of him like a brother fell into such a situation, Shi's heart couldn't help but feel sour. He couldn't help but think of the situation when Brother Zhang was injured, when his life was the most vulnerable, Brother Zhang called him over and explained to him, whoever wants to saw his leg will be killed!

The leg was saved, but after all, he was still disabled, and it was his own choice, which was really difficult for the stone to accept. At this time, Lu Xing walked over, he also restrained his previous grin, sighed and patted the stone on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, you also know the character of the brigade, and no one can change what he decides." In fact, this is fine, at least from now on, the brigade seat will never personally lead the troops to rush to the front line, which is inevitably not a good thing. ”

Shi looked at Lu Xing with some tears and laughter, where is this? Crippled, can it still be said to be a good thing? However, now that the matter has come to this, no matter how emotional and anxious he is, it is obviously useless, although what Lu Xing said is a bit of a bastard, but from another aspect, this is not a good excuse to comfort himself.

Along the way, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and Zhang Lingfu's lame leg obviously made it difficult for them to accept it for a while, but they couldn't do anything about it, so they could only follow him step by step, thinking about some messy things in their hearts. However, Zhang Lingfu himself obviously didn't take this matter to heart, his eyes fell on the pieces of land beside the road, different from the wasteland in other places, although the snow has been very thick, but there are still sparse and sharp crops in the fields, and what is even more surprising is the thatched houses built in the fields.

These houses are very simple, even in the heavy snow, giving people a feeling that they may fall down at any time, but there is a scene not far away, which can make people see at a glance that these people are eager for the land and protect it. This discovery immediately made Zhang Lingfu interested.
