Chapter 73: The Returning Sichuan Army

To them, it was all like a dream, so unreal, more like a bubble, that could burst at any moment.

Meng was annoyed and looking for something in the crowd, he scanned the crowd over and over again, and finally locked on a petite girl in the crowd who looked very cute, the girl kept looking at him directly, Meng annoyed and lowered his head, and the veterinarian Hao next to him bumped into Meng annoyed.

"You are now an anti-Japanese hero." Veterinarian Hao is very accurate in looking at people, and he can see at a glance that Meng is annoying.

Hearing veterinarian Hao's words, Meng raised his head in annoyance, yes, he is now an anti-Japanese hero, no longer a defeated soldier, he raised his head again and looked at the girl, this time he was embarrassed to look at the girl, and lowered his head.

Bu Spicy looked at this scene, and said happily: "Annoying, people are interesting to you." ”

Meng was annoyed and said, 'Go, go', but his heart was happy, he looked at the girl, and straightened his waist, which had never been straight, Meng was annoyed and never thought that he would come over like this one day.

He scanned the crowd and suddenly saw two familiar faces, and his heart trembled.

Isn't that his father and mother?

How could they be here!?

Meng was annoyed and looked at the relieved expressions on his father and mother's faces, and his heart gradually relaxed, and he patted the garland on the two of them, at this moment, he was glorious.

Meng turned his head to look at Xia Yuan when he was annoyed, Xia Yuan seemed to notice Meng Yuan's annoyed gaze, turned his head and said, "Go ahead." ”

Meng ran over as if he was annoyed, grabbed his mother's hand, and his mother said, "Son, anti-Japanese hero, you are now an anti-Japanese hero." ”

Meng Annoy's father never thought that on this day, his child would become an anti-Japanese hero, he was the same as Meng Annoy, he was an arrogant person, and the happiness in his heart was never shown on his face, but their thoughts about his son were undoubtedly the heaviest, otherwise it would not be like in the TV series, after receiving Meng Fan's letter, he arrived in Heshun Town with the books that he was reluctant to discard, just to find Meng Fu.

Meng was annoyed and asked, "Why did you appear here?" ”

Meng's annoyed mother said, "Thanks to being the chief." ”

Meng was stunned for a few moments, turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, but he always felt that all this was not so real, he guessed that it was Xia Yuan, but Xia Yuan was just a halfway defeated captain, how could he know what his parents looked like, he felt a trace of unreality.

Milong and Meng were annoyed, but Milong didn't have the subtlety of Meng Annoyed, and after finding his wife and children in the crowd, he shouted: "Wife, wife." ”

Immediately after that, he ran over, hugged his wife, smelled the breath of the woman, and the whole heart of the dragon was relieved. The woman touched her husband's dark face with some pity, and at this moment, the heart that was carrying it gradually relaxed.

This scene was also keenly captured by the reporter, and the camera was aimed at the reunited family, for them, this scene was extremely heartwarming, but looking at the Sichuan Legion with seven hundred soldiers and now only these are left, their hearts are heavy, seeing that the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion have smiles on their faces, they are not easy to break all this, and only look at Xia Yuan, who is walking in front and wearing a colonel's uniform.

When blowing up the Japanese artillery position, Xia Yuan discarded his military uniform, and when he came down from the Nantian Gate, Long Wenwen deliberately gave Xia Yuan his military uniform, and he seemed to be afraid that after his identity was exposed, maybe in the rout, enjoying this glory, this feeling is also very good.

The heroes were so pleasant, and they were received by the local people and the Yu Tuan at the highest level when they returned.

Gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.

From the War of Resistance Against Japan, since they joined the army, the troops began to rout, I thought that going abroad to fight, and all of them were elite soldiers, well-armed and equipped, but they were still defeated and left Burma, and their hearts were also depressed, and now 700 people have defeated the brigade of 5,000 Japanese troops, such a big victory, such a battle loss ratio, is very rare in China.

They are, without a doubt, big heroes.

Xia Yuan was still thinking about the affairs of Nantianmen, so he temporarily declined the reporter's interview, and said to Yu Xiaoqing: "Nantianmen is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I can tell you the combat experience of fighting with the Japanese army, and I hope you can take your subordinates to firmly hold Nantianmen." ”

After this battle, Xia Yuan's identity has changed dramatically, and there is no doubt that future promotion is absolute.

Yu Xiaoqing no longer regarded Xia Yuan as a defeated regiment commander, he had already learned about the 150th Regiment of the New First Army before, in the face of the attack of a division of the Japanese army, all the officers and men of the 150th Regiment acted as a broken rear force to block the Japanese attack, the whole regiment died heroically, and also successfully resisted the pursuit of the Japanese army, and won a critical time for the withdrawal of the large army.

Even if there is no battle at Nantianmen, Xia Yuan's return will definitely be reused by his superiors, and the contribution of the 150th Regiment is undoubted.

The battle of Nantianmen directly reversed the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country and changed the image of the national army in the hearts of the people, so it can be said that this battle is crucial.

Yu Xiaoqing admired Xia Yuan's courage and perseverance, the two blocking battles were enough for him to step into the ranks of famous anti-Japanese generals, and Xia Yuan's combat experience was undoubtedly the most valuable for their Yu regiment, as for the Central Army, the group of Central Army and the local army were not in harmony with each other, if it were not for a common purpose, it is estimated that they would not be united.

Therefore, this time to welcome the Sichuan Army, only Yu Xiaoqing and Tang Ji were two, as for Zhang Lixian and others, they had already crossed the Nu River from another place with the Yu regiment and entered Nantianmen with the central army and the local army, and the national army also vigorously publicized the three participating troops, especially the numbers of the three troops, which were mentioned several times in the newspapers, which had to make people doubt the intentions of the national army.

However, at present, the people's determination to resist Japan is high, coupled with the rare unity of opinion within the national army, so this operation has also been unanimously agreed by the generals of the national army.

There is no doubt that in this operation, the national army is the biggest winner, whether it is the Sichuan Army, or the Yu regiment, the central army, or the local army, its name comes from the national army.

"This is not the place to speak, I have prepared a sumptuous banquet for you to celebrate the return of your heroes, in addition to many Chanda people, and even the people of the whole country are in Chanda, they came from the vicinity, just to witness this team of anti-Japanese heroes."

Seeing that the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion were reluctant to leave, Tang Ji raised his voice.

Xia Yuan asked Yu Xiaoqing: "Wouldn't this be too wasteful?" ”

Yu Xiaoqing hadn't spoken yet, but Tang Ji said on the side: "The Sichuan Army is an anti-Japanese hero, and you deserve to be treated with such specifications." ”

Xia Yuan stopped, then nodded, in fact, he was thinking in his heart, how to kill this Tang Ji, he would definitely not think that Tang Ji, the smiling tiger, would be kind enough to put on a feast for the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion, and its purpose was definitely targeted.

He was thinking in his heart, if Tang Ji killed his own people, the Sichuan Army that had changed hands before would be able to return to Yu Tuan, the most important thing is that as long as the battle at Nantianmen goes well, Yu Xiaoqing's promotion to division commander is inevitable.

If the Yu regiment is promoted to the Yu division and then receives the Sichuan Army, the Yu division will inevitably become famous in the country, and even Yu Xiaoqing will become a famous anti-Japanese general, and the power of the Yu family will inevitably rise.

Xia Yuan squinted at a large number of Tang Ji, Tang Ji also looked at him with a smile, that smile was extremely fake, perceiving Xia Yuan's gaze with deep meaning, Tang Ji retracted his gaze, and felt faintly uneasy in his heart, for a moment, he seemed to realize that his whole person was seen through by the other party.

Tang Ji thought in his heart, should he not have been discovered by the other party what he had done before?

His heart began to be uneasy, the head of the Sichuan Legion after this battle, his reputation in the country must be famous, especially this return, on the newspaper, he will inevitably be known to the public, and after his return, his promotion is basically a foregone conclusion, in this case, Tang Ji is more and more determined in his heart to kill Xia Yuan's plan, and to speed up the pace, he must get rid of this guy before the newspaper publishes, and then receive the Sichuan Legion under the Yu regiment.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Legion followed the people, reporters and Yu Xiaoqing and others back to Chanda, which had been absent for a long time, and the streets of Chanda at this time were full of people, including routs and people, but when they saw that they had just crossed the highway and walked to the bridge in front of Chanda, the people lit firecrackers that stretched from the bridge to Chanda, and then the gongs and drums that had stopped before sounded again, and a group of people wearing yellow clothes and holding a long dragon ran out of the crowd.

There were also four huge lions, with blinking eyes, jumping out of the crowd.

The children happily surrounded the returning soldiers of the Sichuan Army, jumping up and down, and singing nursery rhymes.

'The Sichuan Army, really mighty, resisted the Japanese invaders and defended the country. The Sichuan Army is so great, the 5,000 Japanese army can't stand him! ’

Tender children bounced around the warriors, and nursery rhymes praising them continued to inspire them.

Four lions surrounded the warriors of the Sichuan Legion in front of and behind, the dragon was churning overhead, the people followed closely behind them, waving the colorful flags in their hands, and the whole street of Chanda was full of people, the people loved them, and the defeated soldiers envied them.

Where have the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion been treated with this standard, one by one they are full of excitement and blood boiling, and a smile appeared on their faces, which is from the heart, extremely happy laughter, they never thought that they would be treated like this when they killed little devils, let alone that one day a street would be full of people who came to watch them.

This scene deeply stimulated every soldier in the Sichuan Army, the blood in their bodies was boiling, rolling, and their hearts were more like a lump of things, eager to rush to the Japanese barracks and kill a few more little devils.

At this moment, Xia Yuan, who was walking in front, heard the sound of the system prompt.

The task is completed, there are still twenty-four hours to return, and he can now return anytime and anywhere, but before leaving, Xia Yuan decided to deal with the scourge of Tang Ji first, Tang Ji has been planning the Sichuan Legion, and now the Sichuan Legion is famous, Tang Ji wants to bring the Sichuan Legion into the hands of the Yu family, how could Xia Yuan let him get his wish.

In the county government of Chanda, more than a dozen large tables have been prepared, inviting not only the local county magistrate of Chanda, but also the county magistrate of several nearby counties to celebrate the return of the Sichuan Army, the battle of the Sichuan Army can be described as a beautiful fight, a wonderful fight, 700 people withstood the crazy attack of a brigade of the Japanese army for more than a week, with a heroic and tenacious will to fight, defended the dignity of the motherland, defended the glory of the soldiers, was loved by the people, praised and admired by all the armies, because few troops can do their kind of small number of troops, Falling behind the enemy's armament and lacking effective heavy firepower, they defeated the enemy and withstood the frantic attack of five thousand enemies.

This situation has been very rare since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and a fully equipped brigade group was unable to attack the next Nantianmen position, which was held by only two battalions.

And the soldiers on the Nantian Gate were facing a crazy attack by the Japanese army, which they had never imagined.

The sumptuous banquet allowed the Sichuan Army to eat the long-lost hometown meal, Yu Xiaoqing asked about the fate of the Sichuan Army in the future, Xia Yuan said: "The War of Resistance against Japan will end soon, they will live and work in peace and contentment, if the Sichuan Army is established, you want it, I will give it to you." ”

Although Yu Xiaoqing is entangled by the family, he himself is a person full of heated discussions, and he is about to leave, and the future fate of the Sichuan Army cannot be ruined on him, so it is best to hand over the Sichuan Army to Yu Xiaoqing, and Tang Ji, he must die, Tang Ji's city is too deep, and his existence will affect Yu Xiaoqing.

Xia Yuan took out a letter that had been prepared long ago from his body, handed it to Yu Xiaoqing, and said: "Three days later, you can open this letter again, otherwise, I will not hand it over to you in the Sichuan Army, this letter is close to you, don't let anyone see it." ”

Yu Xiaoqing thought that there was some important information in the envelope, and immediately his face was solemn, and he nodded heavily, and then he felt strange, because Xia Yuan gave him the Sichuan Army, so what was Xia Yuan going to do himself.

Xia Yuan said: "After the Sichuan Legion became famous, it was not good for me to continue to serve as the head of the Sichuan Legion, and I myself was a person who had lost my identity, and the national army couldn't keep me, I would recommend one person to you, Long Wenwen, the deputy seat of the Sichuan Legion, a very talented person I met in Dianmen, and the reason why Nantianmen was able to hold on to it was half of his credit." ”

Yu Xiaoqing followed Xia Yuan's gaze to the people at the other table, and immediately nodded.

After the banquet, they were arranged to stay in the barracks temporarily, which was the correction area divided for them by the national army, and the good military doctors of the national army treated the internal injuries of the Sichuan army.
