After the capture of Xiamen, the seizure of the coastal islands was already on the agenda, and at this time, Liu Hai suddenly received a notice that Comrade Sima Hong from Shanghai had come to Xiamen. Liu Hai was extremely surprised, what is Sima Hong doing at this time? The strange bangs immediately went to the military station to pick up Sima Hong. According to the notice, Comrade Sima Hong came with a central commissioner, and this situation made Liu Hai feel very surprised again!

"Xiaohong, Xiaohong!" Liu Hai shouted from the outside and walked into the reception room, because Sima Hong had already arrived and was now waiting for Liu Hai in the guest house. "Sea!" Sima Hong saw Liu Hai and stood up excitedly, "I'm here!" "Why are you here?" Liu Hai rushed up and grabbed Sima Hong's hand and said. "What are you doing?" Sima Hong said a little embarrassed: "Come, let me introduce you to Commissioner Zhang!" With that, Sima Hong pulled his bangs and walked to another room in the guest house. After entering, a cadre wearing glasses was writing something on the table. "Commissioner Zhang, this is Zhao Guoliang, the commander of the Eighth Division!" Sima Hong introduced. "Oh!" The cadre stood up and saluted, "Hello, Senior Commander Zhao!" "Hello Commissioner Zhang!" Bangs immediately returned the salute, although bangs couldn't figure out what this person was here for, but after all, people flashed the two words in the center, and bangs didn't dare to slack off! "You're welcome!" Commissioner Zhang looked at the bangs with a smile, "Please sit down!" ”

After sitting down, Commissioner Zhang smiled and said, "Comrade Zhao Guoliang, the whole country is about to be liberated, the people are going to be the masters of the country, the Party Central Committee has decided to hold an inaugural meeting, called the inaugural meeting of the People's Government of the People's Republic of China, oh yes, our country has been named the People's Republic of China, the national flag and national emblem are being agreed, and they will be announced on the day of the inaugural meeting!" "This is very good, a new country, a new government, a new atmosphere, this is a new starting point for our country and nation, very good, great!" Bangs said excitedly. Yes, a new country, a new beginning! How can this not be exciting, and being a member of the political party in this country, Liu Hai is naturally very excited!

"Hehe, on the day of the inaugural meeting, we are going to hold a military parade to select the best quality, the best equipment, and the most resolute political belief from the army, navy and air force to participate in the parade. In other words, Mr. Lin hopes that you can participate in the military parade of the inaugural meeting, which is the honor of your army! If you agree, take your troops to Beijing now and prepare for the parade! Asking for your opinion, it was Mr. Lin who put it forward, although I don't know why, but Mr. Lin must have Mr. Lin's reasons, I personally hope that you can cherish this honor! ”

After listening to Liu Hai, his heart was full of excitement, the founding meeting of the People's Republic of China was the founding ceremony, if he could participate in such a great ceremony, it would be a very meaningful event for his life! "The sea... Comrade Guoliang, you should agree quickly, this is not a chance for everyone to participate, the founding meeting of the people's government, it is a representative ceremony for our party, the government and the people to be reborn, and you may not be able to touch it for another eight lifetimes, you think, you can take your soldiers to walk through the square, accept the review of the great leader Chairman Mao, and receive his old man's reception, what a great honor this is! Sima Hong's face flushed excitedly, and the hand holding bangs dangled excitedly! The bangs were staggered by Sima Hong.

"In this way, I'll go and ask the comrades in the division for their opinions, you can stay for a few days!" Bangs asked. "The conference will be held on October 1st, and there is still about half a month before now, in addition to the time for the troops to go north and the military parade training, I can wait for you for two days!" Commissioner Zhang said. "Okay, two days is two days, and I'll tell you in two days!" After Liu Hai finished speaking, he took Sima Hong and left!

"Sea! What else are you thinking about, it's only a few days before the inaugural meeting, you agreed first! Sima Hong asked, holding Bangs' hand. Xiaohong, don't worry, I'm thinking about this matter, after all, my identity is a bit special, and this is also related to the honor of all the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Division, once my identity is exposed, the glory of our more than ten years of resistance against Japanese aggression may be wiped out, which is the last thing I want to see! This is also the reason why Mr. Lin asked for my opinion, to be honest, such an opportunity is just like when I was appointed to take over the capital, it is a great honor, but now I have to be cautious, can you understand? "Then think about it, I hope you can go, I really want to see my man be recognized and cheered by people like a hero!" "I'll think about it!" Liu Hai hugged Sima Hong hard.

Liu Hai returned to the station, gathered the ghost cannon and others, and told them about this matter, everyone was silent, and after a while, the ghost cannon said, "Division commander, look at it, we are the big soldiers, we will beat whoever the commander tells us to beat, pay to stand guard, kill people and receive salaries, whether it is the Three People's Principles or communism, it doesn't make much sense to us people, and we came to be soldiers to eat at the beginning!" However, when I fought the little devils, I had to fight without paying, after all, it was a national war, and if I became a soldier, I had to play hard! Now that the little devil has run away, we're done, as for the honors you are considering, I think it's better to send a few more oceans! ”

"Division Commander, I'm also the same as the ghost cannon, we listen to you, but I still think that Mr. Lin is very interesting to us, not only did he not break us up, but he also asked for our opinions if he gave us such a big honor. But to be honest, I don't want to participate in this kind of ceremony, after all, we are from the side of the national army, although Mr. Lin kept it secret for us, but once it is exposed, I am afraid that friendly and neighboring troops will look at us differently, if you want me to say, he is not willing to go to the ghost artillery, you know, there are many national soldiers in the People's Liberation Army who have surrendered to us, once they recognize it, no matter how generous the People's Liberation Army is, they will also have a problem with us, after all, the People's Liberation Army and the national army are still fighting each other! ”

"I'll tell you!" Liu Xiaoshan said, "Division commander, no matter how many battles we fight, we are just a big soldier, and when the battle is over, the best result for people like us is to unload our armor and return to the field, or become an instructor or something, I want to be a general as majestic as before, and I can't tell if one day we will be shot as a counter-revolutionary!" So we still don't go, as long as we remember that we have shed blood and sweat for the country and the nation, and are worthy of the military rations we have eaten, this is enough! As for the honor or something, it can be the best, I didn't pull it, the ghost cannon is right, like ours, it's better to send a few more oceans! ”

"Okay! In fact, as the commander of this unit, whether it is the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, I can admit everything we have done, and I hope that the blood and sweat we have shed will be recognized. But you are right, since history has given me such an embarrassing identity as we are now, then let's be a big soldier with peace of mind, it doesn't matter if the Kuomintang doesn't recognize it, it doesn't matter if the Communist Party doesn't recognize it, history won't forget, and the people won't forget the blood and sweat that our people have shed for this country, that's enough! Liu Hai stood up and said, "When the battle is over, let's unload our armor and return to the field together, or become an instructor or something!" "The division commander is wise!" The three of them said at the same time.

Liu Hai knew what everyone meant, and he also had a plan in his heart, Liu Xiaoshan They were right, as long as they were worthy of their military uniform and conscience, they didn't have to care about those medals of honor or anything. Regardless of whether people admit it in the future or not, they have fought bloody battles for their country and nation, and have fought for more than ten years, they are very lucky, and they are also very lucky with ghost artillery, because they are not dead, but those soldiers who died in battle, what else can they fight for, they are a soldier, just do what they should do!

"What?" Sima Hong and Commissioner Zhang stood up together. "Division Commander Zhao, you think about it carefully, this is a great honor, Mr. Lin said, an artillery unit like the Eighth Division, the whole of China can't find a second one, if you can participate in the military parade of the conference, it will be the greatest recognition and glory of the party and the people for you, in fact, Mr. Lin also wants you to go, this is a chance that you have not had in eight lifetimes, Division Commander Zhao, you are thinking about it!" Commissioner Zhang said excitedly. "yes, why did you refuse? Didn't you say that honor is the life of a soldier, and now that such a great honor is in front of you, why don't you cherish it! Sima Hong said anxiously.

"Commissioner Zhang, please tell Mr. Lin, thank him very much for his kindness, but we are just a group of soldiers, do what we should do, as for those honors and glory belong to the party and the people, or the People's Liberation Army, we are just a member of the People's Liberation Army, do our duty, eliminate more enemies, than to fight for those vanity, the People's Liberation Army is millions of people, there must be better artillery than us, Mr. Lin is just taking care of us, we are very grateful to Mr. Lin for his kindness, if the military parade can." , we still won't go! The battle to attack Xiamen Island is about to begin, and we are still willing to stay here and do some practical things, after all, we are just soldiers! After the bangs were finished, he saluted and went out!

"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Sima Hong asked unwillingly. "I've thought about it, this is also the opinion of the ghost cannons, as long as you are worthy of your conscience and the military rations you have eaten, and understand that you are a soldier, this is enough, as for those merits and honors, history will help us remember!" Bangs said with a smile.
