Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (6)

The retreat was indeed very calm, even a little procrastinating, and after another night in Xianggut, Mo Di and Jin Tongxuan parted ways. Mo Di took the 123rd Battalion to his military base Wuhe, and Luo Wei and Jin Tongxuan took the guard battalion to Heaven Town. The reason for Mo Di is very simple, he does not want to deal with the bureaucrats in Yuexi County.

Mo Di didn't want to deal with the bureaucrats in Yuexi, but the bureaucrats in Yuexi were different, and they were waiting for the triumph of the Yebu Regiment at the Nantou intersection of Paradise Town early in the morning, and the scene was very grand, not only the heads of Yuexi County, but also organized one or two thousand people to eat melons, waving colorful flags on the roadside, and making a wave one after another.

Luo Wei and Jin Tongxuan saw this scene, and hurriedly trotted up to meet them, Li Pinhe, director of the Yuexi County Party Department, and Jiang Chengliang, the county magistrate, looked forward and backward and did not see Mo Di, and they were a little disappointed. Li Pinhe couldn't help but ask, "What about Mo Tuanza?" ”

"The regiment considered that the influx of the brigade into heaven would cause some trouble to the local life, so he took the 123rd battalion and went to the direction of Wuhe in Xianggut." Luo Wei said: "Thank you, Director Li, the county magistrate of Jiang County, for welcoming ten miles, such hospitality, Luo must report to the group, thank you very much." ”

Li Pinhe is a very good person, said: "We came to greet the soldiers who returned triumphantly, and it is not your group alone, he is not there, it is his loss, we have prepared a reception banquet in the county government square, he has no food, we can eat more." Deputy Luo Tuan, Jin Shenzao, today we are drunk and resting. ”

Jin Tongxuan laughed and came together with Jiang Chengliang. After saying a few words to Jiang Chengliang, Jin Tongxuan learned that the reason why the county government and county party headquarters went to great lengths was that the relocation of the headquarters of the 176th Division to Tangchi brought benefits to the people of Yuexi, but not necessarily for the bureaucrats in Yuexi, after all, the level of the 176th Division was far above that of Yuexi County, and if they treated this unsystematic official, they would not be able to make up their minds. The most important thing is that the business and greasy business that the Ye Bu Tuan engaged in in Yuexi need to be given a piece of the 176th Division. Therefore, they urgently need to collude with Mo Enemy and find a common way to deal with it, to give or not to give, and how much to give! Jin Tongxuan only then knew why Mo Di was reluctant to come to heaven directly, he didn't want to entangle these trivial matters with the county bureaucrats, and the most important thing was that Mo Di liked to hide himself in the back, figure out the other party's hole cards before coming forward, even if he bargained, he had to have a back hand. The boss is the boss, whether it is fighting a war or doing business, he does it well! Jin Tongxuan knew that in this matter, the most suitable person to come forward was himself, and he communicated with Jiang Chengliang, and if he talked about it well, Mo Di agreed, and if he didn't talk well, Mo Di would come forward to negotiate.

The dinner party was carried out in a cheerful atmosphere, the style of the dish was not much, the amount was sufficient, the taste of the dish was good, the material was sufficient, the wine was still the local sealed old wine, although the alcohol degree was not high, it was better to have a long aftertaste. Unknowingly, Jin Tongxuan and Luo Wei were drunk.

Returning to the base area, the tension of more than a month has been swept away, and it is reasonable to have a few more drinks, but it is unforgivable for so many people to get drunk, Huang Yingyi, who was on duty in the regimental headquarters of the field supplement regiment, said. From the deputy staff officer of the regiment to the battalion commander and company commander, none of them could sober up, only Shi Chong was okay and could walk back step by step, and the others were all carried back by soldiers. This time drinking, the county magistrate Jiang worked hard, prepared the wine and food of Mo Di and the 123rd battalion, but only received a guard battalion, the county magistrate Jiang was under the fire, and recruited the staff of the Yuexi County Ya in Paradise Town to accompany the wine, and the result was to kill 3,000 enemies and lose 10,000 themselves, and after Luo Weishi overturned them, the Yuexi County Ya was drunk, and whether he could open the office normally tomorrow will be known tomorrow.

Huang Yingyi didn't drink and became the only person who could be on duty, so he sat alone in the office of the regiment headquarters in a daze. Wuhe Juntun, just a camp of the enemy, the regimental headquarters of the wild supplement regiment is located in Paradise Town, in the month of going out to fight, there is only one He Degui who guards the temple at the regimental headquarters, he also fishes for three days and dries the net for two days, and has more time outside and less time in the regimental headquarters, and in the office of the regimental headquarters, because it does not open the door to breathe, there is a faint musty smell. Huang Yingyi asked people to open all the doors and windows, although the autumn wind blew people's bones tight, but it was also much refreshing, which made people frightened. Huang Yingyi was not familiar with Yuexi, and the day after he came to Yuexi to report, he had not seen Paradise Town clearly, so he followed the guard battalion to Tianlong Pass. I remember the first time I came to this office, I reported to the regiment commander Mo Di, before he came, he thought that he would get a company deputy or something like that in the field supplement regiment, but he didn't expect that with a wave of Mo Di's hand, he actually became the chief of staff of the guard battalion, and his rank was also promoted to captain. As a cadet who only graduated this year, getting the rank of captain all of a sudden is an exception.

Lieutenant General Huang Jie, director of the Sixth Branch of the Central Military Academy, once said in his graduation speech that fighting a war is like reading, and it is very important to preview before class and review after class. Regardless of victory or defeat in a battle, the key lies in summing up, summing up the gains and losses of success or failure, summarizing the causes of gains and losses, and summarizing the causes of causes, so as to avoid and reoffend. Huang Yingyi reviewed the whole process of the Aoki United team this time, and reviewed the stone card harassment, two battles in Yujing, two battles in the small market, one in Yangjialing, two in the old house, three in Duxiu Mountain, four in Anhui Shuidong, five in Sanqiao Town, six in Caojiabang, plus the big trouble at Longshan Airport, blocking the enemy's Shitang Riverbank, all of which were thrilling and heartbreaking, and Huang Yingyi became more and more excited, more and more excited, and unconsciously, it was dawn.

Shi Zhong got up the earliest, came to the regiment headquarters, and saw that the horse lantern had already burned the last drop of oil, the wick was burned dry, Huang Yingyi was lying on the desk and already asleep, there was a soft-sided copy on one side of the table, and a Parker pen without screwing the cap was placed on the notebook. Shi Zhong picked up the Parker pen and screwed it on, this pen dried overnight, but I was afraid that there would be no ink. When he picked up the pen, he copied a line on the soft side, which caught his attention. In the past, people did not fight for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and regardless of the glory and disgrace of one day and one night, what they wanted to fight for was the final victory, and I thought it was inappropriate to say this. There is a way that often wins is not worth a defeat, and often defeat is a victory, which shows the importance of victory and defeat. In this battle of Huaining in the hidden mountain, our department can be said to have won a complete victory, although each time it is not a great victory of earth-shattering ghosts and gods, but it can accumulate into a lot, and the water becomes a depression, laying the foundation for the final victory. In the face of the menacing Japanese puppet army, the 527th Regiment knew that it was invincible and fought against it, and it was unwise to retreat in defeat, but it became a gain or loss for a city and a place. was frightened and rushed to the water roar, like a lost dog, he didn't want to take the initiative to attack, only wanted passive defense, and it turned out to be a shame regardless of overnight. These two words, today, have become a fig leaf for losers. Seeing this, Shi Zhong laughed softly, this Huang Yingyi is really a young man, how can he generalize about the matter of war so simply.

He gently closed the soft cover and walked out.

Today, the whole camp rested, did not blow the wake-up horn and did not ask to go out of the exercise, in the playground, only a few scattered people were exercising, compared to usual, much quieter. Shi Chong walked to the gang room, the gang leader army here had already gotten up, made a lot of gruel, steamed buns, soy milk, and pancakes, Shi Chong picked up four steamed buns, packed two small boxes of porridge in a Japanese lunch box, sandwiched some pickles for the porridge and put them on the middle compartment, and returned to the regiment headquarters.

Huang Yingyi had already gotten up and was washing, when he saw Shi Chong coming in, he hurriedly put the towel on his shoulder, greeted him, took the lunch box in Shi Chong's hand, and put it on the table.

The Japanese-style military lunch box is a good thing, multi-purpose, open the lid, place the steamed buns, take out the middle layer, one lunch box per person, and eat quite exquisitely.

Seeing the Japanese-style lunch box in front of him, Huang Yingyi remembered an episode, that was when he was cleaning up the battlefield at the end of the Three Bridges Blockade Battle, the new rear supplementary company he brought over from Yu Jing frantically collected the lunch boxes on the Japanese army, as long as he got a lunch box, he was overjoyed. Think about it, the founding army has only one foreign magnetic bowl per person, hanging on the backpack, similar to the beggars, and the Japanese army has long been jealous of the lunch box per person, and they can't grab it when they are in the founding army, so this time there is a chance.

"Why do you wake up so early, don't sleep for a while, and rest?" Huang Yingyi asked.

"Get used to it!" Shi Zhong said: "This time the battle was easy, and the march was not tired, where do you need to rest, and if you continue to fight like this, you will be able to fight fat." ”

"I've also participated in some battles in Guinan, it's not as fierce as here, and it's already very dangerous, battalion commander, this is not easy, how is it not easy?" Huang Yingyi asked.

"The most tiring thing about fighting a war is not physical tiredness, but mental tiredness, this time, we basically take the initiative, everything is under our control, so we are not tired. What is tired is that I don't understand what to hit and how to hit a chance, and I don't even know if the bullet will come from the left or the right, then I am tired. Shi Zhong said.

"Will this be the case?" Huang Yingyi was a little puzzled.

"Yes! For example, this time the 527th Regiment guarding Meicheng is. Shi Zhong replied affirmatively: "The 527th Regiment does not know where the Japanese army came from and where it is going, and it knows that it is not an opponent, but it must also fight a dozen to make clear the Japanese army's intention and destination, so as to make the next step of planning." If it were not for the 527th Regiment's stubborn defense in Meicheng, it would not have been possible for us to be as comfortable as the Field Supplement Regiment. ”

Huang Yingyi took a mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth, fell into contemplation, regardless of the momentary loss, not compared to the momentary humiliation, not arrogant, not discouraged. There is no sorrow and no joy, so as not to obey heaven and earth.
