The convoy went to Xi'an, went around the city and went directly to Yongshou County. There was no greeting in advance, no specially organized welcome ceremony. When you enter the city gate, you can not care about it, and the honor of others cannot be denied. Seeing the convoy entering the city, the people began to applaud one by one, which almost instantly caused a round of applause; People automatically move out of the way, as if in a queue to welcome them. From time to time, some old voices shouted: "Bitter babies! ”

When the uncle and his county government officials heard the news, the convoy could no longer move. Telling everyone to get off the bus to accept the comfort of the simple Shaanxi villagers, even the medical staff in Shanghai felt tears in their eyes. The fathers and elders gave us heroic treatment, and the uncle also delivered a welcome speech, which led to a period of earth-shattering anti-Japanese shouts.

Hand over the convoy to Uncle and go back to see Grandpa and Grandpa by yourself. Grandpa and Grandpa made an exception to greet them at the door, and there were not many people at the door in a hurry, and those who heard the news were coming. Seeing himself holding his cousin's urn, his grandfather shouted: "The Li family's descendants and the following children kneel to welcome the return of the Li family's heroic soul!" Grandpa personally took the urn and went to the ancestral shrine to pray to the ancestors.

The Li family's greeting treatment was for the martyrs, but my grandfather didn't care about this, and he was full of joy when he saw me come back with all the beards and all the shadows, and cut off a few of his beards. hugged himself over, even if he pinched it here and there, and touched it there, making his face flushed, and he didn't dare to resist; is also enjoying the warmth, lying in the arms of grandpa and pretending to be stupid and tender. made the grandfather feel relieved and couldn't help laughing, which ruined the solemn atmosphere of the Li family and caused the elders of the Li family to be angry. Grandpa is a soldier, and he is used to seeing life and death, and he doesn't care. I didn't have any special treatment for me, it was rare enough, and it was like throwing a rag out.

Grandpa deduced the true colors of a soldier, and when he returned to the middle hall, grandpa deduced the true colors of a businessman. The report of his trip to Shanghai was halfway through his speech, and his grandfather waved his hand and said, "What is there to say about spending money?" The money is spent, and the matter is over. I plan to talk about it later, and today is to catch the wind and wash the dust! ”

Grandpa arranged the largest hotel in Yongshou, and all the heads and faces in the county town arrived. More than three times as many people came back from Shanghai, and the whole hotel was bustling and noisy with more than 500 people. Half of the more than 500 people were carried out, and they were also dizzy by the warm atmosphere.

The next day, when they had woken up, it was almost noon; handed over the medical staff to his grandfather for arrangement, and took Li Daze and the guards to the militia by himself. Uncle Cousin, cousin and chief of staff were already waiting at the door to greet them, and when they saw the empty sleeve of the chief of staff's left arm, they couldn't help but be stunned! Instead, the chief of staff stepped forward and saluted and said, "Sir, you're back!" "It's yourself cheesy, what's there to be curious about being injured and killed during the war years?

Seeing that the spies also followed up, I introduced it to everyone, and everyone naturally knew it. I briefly introduced the process of my trip to Shanghai, and the results have been reported and there is nothing to say. Finally, he said: "Cousin, cousin, chief of staff, on this trip to Shanghai, I fired a few shots, shot down a devil observation balloon, and gained nothing!" Chief of Staff, how's the situation on your side? ”

When the chief of staff heard my question, his expression fluttered. "Sir, you're almost halfway to your goal. When I arrived in Pingjin, I first went to the Fengtai area, and the Fengtai warehouse in Japan is indeed a high-walled fortress and heavily guarded. I can't see it outside, I can't get in inside, hehe, I transferred a delta wing from Shaanxi, and I figured it out after half a circle in mid-air, the devil machine gun couldn't hit, and the car couldn't catch up. It is basically full of military supplies, and the types are basically complete. It is estimated that the devils didn't think it was reconnaissance, at least they didn't find out about the transfer later. ”

The chief of staff took a sip of water and continued: "The situation in Tianjin is more complicated than I expected, when the Tianjin garrison moves, the concession is basically impossible to enter, and the French and British are on full alert, so there is no movement inside. Instead, he helped the garrison bomb the airfield, killed a few planes, and the devils were reinforced, so they had to retreat.

However, in the Fengtai warehouse, I arranged 3 120 mortars and fired 30 arson shells, which caused a big explosion, and the harvest was not small, at least delaying the Japanese offensive for three days, but unfortunately, the Pingjin garrison did not make good use of it.

Retreating from Pingjin, not a single one of us has been injured. The first casualty was to rescue the wounded and routed soldiers, and a blocking position was selected on the west side of Baoding, and the fortifications alone were dug for a month. It was I who underestimated the enemy, and there were less than a squad of devils, that is, more than 30, with more than 500 routs, and the position was suddenly overwhelmed by the rout. Fortunately, the devil is also a light enemy, and more than 20 of them were killed by us, and less than 10 of them ran. We lost 5 people at once, 1 seriously wounded, and more than 10 lightly wounded. ”

The chief of staff stabilized his mood and continued: "There will be more routs in the back, and there is no way to defend the position, so I have to give up; It was also a blessing in disguise, and then the position was bombed by Japanese planes in a mess. Later, we changed to focus on rescuing the wounded and sheltering them, and when we retreated to Pingxingguan, we treated and transported more than 1,000 wounded soldiers, and sheltered more than 3,000 defeated soldiers.

Sir, our greatest casualties were on the anti-aircraft artillery position at Pingxingguan, where we arranged 4 40 anti-aircraft guns and 10 20 quadruple anti-aircraft guns, killing nearly 20 people, seriously wounding more than 10 people, and lightly wounding more than 60 people. Only 3 were shot down, 2 were damaged, nearly half of the anti-aircraft guns were lost, and the artillery was already insufficient, so they retreated to Taiyuan and donated the rest to Fu Zuoyi's troops.

However, the reconnaissance company has a good record, and the best one is the one called Iron Pillar, and now it can be confirmed that the number of devils killed has reached 35. Until now, there are still three reconnaissance teams that refuse to return, hehe, all of them have run out of bullets. Operation North has eliminated more than 200 devils so far. ”

"Chief of Staff, the merits have not been reported or published?"

Uncle Tong said: "No, it's your grandfather who doesn't agree, saying that we don't have a reputation, doing these things, saying that the good ones are meritorious, and if they don't say the bad, maybe they will be put on the hat of interfering with the battlefield, hehe." Your grandfather said, let's just have a clear conscience. ”

"Grandpa's concerns are reasonable, uncle, we can ask the provincial government, Shanxi or the 18th Group Army, and there is no one willing to give us a number, so that our war of resistance is justified."

"Sir, the 18th Army is the Communists, is it appropriate?" The chief of staff asked.

"Chief of Staff, now that they are all fighting the war, there is no more partisanship; The full name of the 18th Army is the '18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army', and it is a government rank; Drive out the Japanese, we go abroad, and we don't care if they fight or not. Ask them all, whoever gives it first, we will ask for whom. Arrange for someone to test Captain Xing to see if there is anything that needs to be strengthened, and I am going to take him behind enemy lines. ”

"Captain Xing, at least your physical fitness must exceed the standard requirements!"

After sending away the spies, he went to Tian Gong with his cousin and chief of staff to have a look. Tian Gong was one of the busiest people at the base, and when he arrived, Tian Gong was discussing with people the drawings of rocket artillery ammunition brought by the United States. After everyone greeted, Tian Gong said: "Mr. Li, according to the drawings, our base can't do it, and we don't have many materials, such as aluminum alloy materials. In addition, the cost may reach more than 200 oceans, and I can't afford it! ”

"Tiangong, you will study and study again, and try to make domestic production and reduce costs. You're doing a good job of sticky gasoline! If it doesn't work, we still take the United States to produce some parts, and we do part of it; We have to have something we are good at, and we have to fight if we can't afford it! ”

"Mr. Li, the finished product warehouse is almost full, let's sell it as soon as possible."

"Tiangong, it doesn't matter, the warehouse is not enough to dig more! The most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War has not yet come, and now the government and Yan Xishan still have some stocks, but the arsenal has been destroyed, and we will soon need to help. ”

When he returned to the regiment headquarters, Peng Chengfu was already waiting there with the grizzled Captain Xing.

"Report to the instructor, Captain Xing is too far from the standard deviation."

"Company Commander Peng, I don't need him to kill the enemy, but don't delay and retreat when you run! Is it qualified? ”

"Report to the instructor, unqualified!"

"Captain Xing, give you half a month to train, if you are qualified, I will take you there, if you are not qualified, you can only go to the south!" Or let Shen get drunk, that guy must be qualified! "Captain Xing is not allowed to distinguish, and orders directly.
