He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but Meng Da was awakened by a quarrel. He opened his eyes in a strange way and thought confusedly: "The people talking outside are obviously quintuplets. They are studying in Hong Kong, how come they came to Xiajia Village?
"
"Sister, if he doesn't survive, are we really going to be widowed?" The speaker was Xiaohong, the third of the quintuplets. Meng Da smiled bitterly upon hearing this. These girls were worried about their own fate.
"We are still unmarried, how can we be considered widowed?"
"But our engagement ceremony has already been held. If you are alive, you are his, if you are dead, you are his ghost."
"Does his child really want to call us mom?"
"Didn't my parents-in-law already hold the child and shout like this?"
"I also want to have a baby, but they said we are too young, so it is not too late to wait another three to five years." This was the voice of Xiaoyu, the fifth child, who seemed to like children very much, but also seemed a little impatient to wait.
"He won't die, and we don't have to worry. Since school is on vacation and we come back, we must let him know that our sisters are committed to him."
"Sister, you helped him take off his clothes to heal his injuries, but I was scared when I saw him."
"Silly girl, are you secretly happy in your heart? You thought I didn't know, but you put your little hands under the quilt and sneaked into me several times."
"Hahahaha!" Meng Da couldn't listen anymore. These girls were so ridiculous that they dared to sneak up on him while he was sleeping. As soon as people outside heard laughter coming from the room, they rushed in. It was raining all of a sudden.
He threw himself on the bed and pressed Meng Da down with his body. He inserted his little hands into the quilt and grabbed the bottom.
"I'll make you laugh!"
"Hahahaha." Meng Da hugged Xiao Yu lovingly and said with a cheerful smile: "Yu'er, my husband wants to eat you right now, but it's a pity that he can't part with it."
A few girls were messing around, and a group of people ran in from outside. Xue Yue walked over and sat beside the bed regardless, and said in surprise: "Little brother, you have been in a coma for five days, and you finally woke up."
"What are the casualties of my troops and Liu Dalong's troops?" Meng Da asked hurriedly without being polite.
"You have to express your condolences." Luo Zhuoying hesitated sadly.
"Four of the Eighteen Butterflies died, and five of the Wolves died. Everyone else was injured, but they are all alive and well. Liu Dalong's army, thanks to you, suffered more than two hundred casualties." Xue Yue knew that he must
Once things are told, Meng Da will know these things sooner or later.
"Nine of them left at once!" Meng Da murmured to himself, and said sadly to Xue Yue: "They are orphans like me. My parents adopted them and they practiced martial arts and literature with me."
"It's good to have such an ending. I hope you can be more open-minded. People always die in wars. This time in the Nanchang battle, we eliminated more than 15,000 Japanese. It's a pity that Chen Anbao died!"
"Ah!" Meng Da was shocked and asked anxiously: "How did Commander Chen die in battle?"
"Chen Anbao only led a few people to the front to supervise the battle under artillery fire. He was shot and died while passing by Yaozhuang. He only lost one leg on the battlefield. He was 49 years old. Our troops lacked siege weapons, so the counterattack was forced to stop."
Meng Da showed murderous intent in his eyes and asked Xue Yue: "I want to know the fate of Shangguan Yunxiang!"
"Commander!" Suddenly there was a cry outside the door. Liu Dalong rushed in quickly, knelt down beside the bed and shouted: "The 79th Division fought bravely under the leadership of our division commander. A damn battalion commander escaped during the battle. The entire
The plan was disrupted, and the commando team was completely exposed to the Japanese attack and was unable to fight back. Shangguan Yunxiang decided to kill our division commander because of his personal grudge to shirk responsibility. Is this even justified?"
Meng Da stood up and hugged Liu Dalong. He was about to cry but didn't know what to say. Liu Dalong said angrily: "A unit that confuses black and white like this is not worth our brothers' lives. Commander Meng, accept me and my brothers."
Come on!"
"This -" Meng Da felt very sad. He raised his head and looked at Xue Yue and begged: "He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. If Duan Lang was unjustly killed, even if you force them to stay, they will cause even greater trouble."
.I request that one of Liu Dalong's regiment be handed over to me, sir, please give me permission."
"I promise you, but you must promise me to let Shangguan Yunxiang go!" Xue Yue didn't wait for Meng Da to speak, sighed and continued: "He is He Yingqin's man, a villain like this is not worth offending."
"Okay!" For the sake of Liu Dalong and others, Meng Da decided to let go of Shangguan Yunxiang who refused to save him. He helped the strong man Liu Dalong and said: "Go and tell your brothers that there is no future or official career with me, but I will
Treat everyone like brothers. If you don't want to leave, don't force it. After all, the ** has a better future than the civilian army."
"yes!"
After handling the matter, Luo Zhuoying slowly told the story about the more than forty bullets in Meng Da's body. He asked in surprise: "This precious garment on your body saved you, and not a single bullet hit you."
Into your body."
"This is a golden silk silk garment from India. It has a history of thousands of years!"
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Meng Da in surprise.
"To be honest, my ancestors got this from the Chang'an Palace. My great-grandmother brought it to Guangzhou and wore it on me because I was an only child. A leopard picked me up in its mouth and didn't even eat it.
Only then was he rescued by my eldest brother-in-law."
Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying looked at each other and smiled. No wonder the young man dared to rush like a madman under the enemy's heavy troops. They also thought: "The bullet can't penetrate Bao Yi, so can't his head be penetrated?"
"Where are Wang Yun'er and Xia Ying?" Seeing that he hadn't seen his two wives for so long, Meng Da couldn't help but worry.
"They are playing with your son."
"Heidi is here too?" Meng Da asked in surprise.
"Your eldest sister and your eldest brother-in-law are here!" The old patriarch walked into the door, followed by a large group of people. Xue Yue shook his head and made a face to say goodbye to Meng Da. This family finally got together and didn't know how much they had to say.
explain.
Meng Da saw the child in the eldest sister's arms, jumped up crazily and shouted: "Eldest sister, give me my son!"
"Hehehe, you have to put on some clothes, right?"
"Ah!" Meng Da was so frightened that he got into bed, covered his head and shouted: "Get out quickly, and you can come in again after I get dressed."
"Hahahaha." The whole family sneezed and laughed, and walked out the door together.
Mengda returned home. Under the escort of the independent division and the cavalry detachment, a vast number of cars escorted the group of people who were injured on the battlefield back to Kaihua County. All the villagers came to visit, and the county government also organized a condolence team to come
The Xia Mansion congratulated them on their triumphant return. Mengda said sadly: "A triumphant return? We were defeated!"
"No, you won the battle, and it was the Kuomintang army that lost the battle!" Jiang Shilin said sonorously and looked at Meng Da with praise: "My expectations for you are not in vain, but you can't work so hard like a madman!"
"You also know this?" Meng Da was embarrassed. Jiang Shilin was both his savior and his guide. He respected Jiang Shilin as he treated his father.
"Who doesn't know you, the crazy commander? You gained prestige in the battle in Nanchang. Although the battle failed, no one in the army does not admire you." Jiang Shilin smiled slightly and said everything he heard.
"What a pity for my brothers and sisters!" Meng Da thought of his nine dead companions and couldn't help but shed tears.
"It is the best destination for soldiers to die on the battlefield. They died a worthy death, and people will remember their voices and faces. Remember, men do not shed tears lightly, and when they want revenge, they must record their hatred on the little devil's head. You grab it
On the seventy-two tanks that came back, I have already discussed with your father-in-law to replace the machine guns on them with German general-purpose machine guns. After the artillery replacement, we no longer have to worry about ammunition consumption. Brothers, cheer up, the War of Resistance Against Japan has just begun!"
Jiang Shilin's words made the sad Meng Da wipe away his tears. He stood up and said: "I will definitely make the little devil look good, and I will use ten times their heads to pay homage to my brothers and sisters!"
"Your task now is to take good care of your injuries and take advantage of this season to have more sons!" Xia Jingyi chuckled, hugging her brother's head and refusing to let go.
"Guangzhou has been occupied by the Japanese army. Where did you come back from?" Meng Da suddenly remembered and asked his eldest sister and brother-in-law.
"We landed in Fujian on a British ship and came back via Fuzhou. Originally we were here to congratulate you on the birth of your son, but I didn't expect that you would be injured."
"Sister, I will leave my son to you to raise and take him to the United States."
"Hahahaha." Jiang Shilin laughed non-stop, glanced at his wife and said, "It's just as we thought. My parents said they would run back if they don't see your son."
"Ah!" Meng Da's eyes widened in surprise.
"My son's name has already been chosen. Dad named it Xia Wenyong." Xia Jingyi opened her arms and took her nephew into Meng Da's arms.
"Okay, okay, he is both civil and military, he must be more promising than his father!" Meng Da kissed his son on the face, making the little guy burst into laughter.
"Would you like me to give birth too?" Xiaoyu held it in for a long time, and when she saw that Mengda liked children so much, she said it with a silly smile.
"Ah, hahahaha!" The whole family burst into laughter. This girl is not shy and is really thick-skinned.
"Just wait, you will get your wish." Xia Jingyi caressed the innocent girl and said to Meng Da: "The five of them are studying very well in Hong Kong. When they graduate from college, I will send them back to you to get married.
"
"Sister, it's rare for our family to get together. I'm going up to the mountain to hunt some game. Let's enjoy it together today. Brother-in-law, let's take the opportunity to compare marksmanship and let you see what I can do!" Meng Da was very happy.
He was satisfied that all the eight girls were beautiful, and after he drove away the little devils, he found a paradise to enjoy the happiness of life and family.
"I'm afraid you're going to fight again!" Jiang Shilin didn't move, but he knew that the people outside the door couldn't wait any longer.
"Oh?" Meng Da looked outside the door in surprise. He also heard the footsteps outside.
"Report."
"Come in."
Fengdie flew in, opened the telegram she held and read: "Go to Wuhu quickly, there is a big deal. Zhu!"
"Is it from my mentor?" Meng Da became confused. Didn't his mentor know that he was injured?
"Yes. Chief Zhu told me that this matter is very urgent and we must rush to Wuhu the day after tomorrow."
"Strange, why is my mentor so anxious?" Meng Da was confused, but he had to follow Zhu Jiahua's order. He stood up and handed his son to his eldest sister, turned around and shouted: "The shotgun brigade assemble!"
