Compared with the division of some Japanese troops into radicals and others waiting, the entire Jiaxing army, which had spent two days and nights retreating 60 kilometers into Guangde County, was finally about to divide its forces at this time.
The 128th Division is affiliated to Liu Jianxu's department of the Tenth Group Army. During the retreat, it had received military orders from the group army headquarters to return to the formation.
There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. We are all soldiers, and we don’t have so many affectionate friends. As soon as the military order came, the 128th Division, which was still running towards Wuhu, immediately turned around and headed in another direction.
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army did not stop. The Japanese reconnaissance planes were still in the sky. They had no time to hug their foreign comrades who had fought side by side with them, or even have the opportunity to stand at attention and salute. The two gradually drifted away.
The soldiers could only wave goodbye to each other.
"Brothers of the Hunan Army, rise up!" the Sichuan troops roared with tears in their eyes.
"Brothers, if you don't die after the war, remember to come and have a drink with Lao Liu. Lao Liu's home is by the Songhua River. I'll catch you a big yellow croaker to try." A Northeastern veteran squad leader pointed at the tail of the team over there.
roared.
"Yes, brothers, remember to come and play with us in Phoenix. The water of our Tuojiang River is very clear, and our sister camel is even more beautiful!" The Hunan soldiers over there also answered loudly with tears in their eyes.
The Hunan Army marched rapidly and no one looked back.
It's not that they are reluctant to separate, but that these soldiers who have experienced cruel battlefields all know that the battle is not over yet, and all future promises are just empty promises.
Those familiar or unfamiliar faces, those figures who fought alongside them into the war at the first command, may one day no longer exist in this world, including themselves.
A farewell here is a lifetime for most of the soldiers.
The veterans' intuition was right.
From here on out, China's millions of square kilometers of land are in flames of war, and the three armies of Sichuan, Hunan, and Northeast China, which have gone their separate ways, have no chance to reunite.
Fifty years later, under the leadership of a certain general who had risen to a high position, great efforts were made to organize a gathering in front of the Anti-Japanese War Memorial in Jiashan County for the surviving soldiers from the armies of the three provinces who had fought side by side on the Jiashan front line.
No more than two hundred elderly people could be present.
Half of them died in the war of resistance that lasted for several years, and nearly half of them suffered from hidden diseases due to the continuous fighting. They could not withstand the cruelty of time. Their average life span was only more than 50 years old, which was far lower than that of ordinary people.
life.
It's rare that we can meet again.
The old Liu who once shouted that he wanted to catch a large yellow croaker for his brothers died early in the battle of Jiangxia in the second year after the war. The second lieutenant of the Hunan Army who loudly answered the invitation to the brothers to go to Fenghuang County also
He died in the future Battle of Tanzhou.
The veterans who were already old and crying did not accept the gift from the senior general. Instead, they took most of the extremely meager anti-war allowance and went to the beautiful Phoenix together at their own expense, to the land of abundance surrounded by high mountains.
To the fertile black soil.
They want to fulfill the promise of those brothers and go see the hometown that they dream of and are proud of.
They even want to tell those people in heaven that because of them, the fish in their hometown are fat, the girls in their hometown are handsome, and the flowers in their hometown are in full bloom.
"Sir Gu, it's a long journey, but take care of it. Goodbye!" After receiving the telegram, Tang Dao and Tantai Mingyue rode a horse together and hurried over to say goodbye to Lieutenant General Gu, who was waiting for him.
Anyway, the incident between Tang Dao and Tantai Mingyue has spread throughout the army. Tantai Mingyue's equestrian skills are slightly inferior, and Tang Dao is eager to come, so he doesn't care so much at the moment.
Originally, I thought that Tantai Mingyue would sit in front. He could just ride the horse and run faster, but he was so shameless that the Tantai reporter wanted to sit behind him and put his arms around Tang Dao's waist. It was quite cool.
What it will be like to ride a wild motorcycle with a girl in the future.
However, the war horses that have been trained for a long time are quite ignorant. There is no such thing as a sudden stop. When encountering a roadblock, they just jump over it. The horse is racing very fast, but it does not allow Tang Dao to experience the legendary power of a sword.
What a pressing feeling on the back.
It seems that it was because the food was so good during this period. Tang decided to give the horses in the cavalry platoon half the soybeans and eat more fodder when they returned.
horse
Of course, although he didn't enjoy anything like that, Tang Dao was still in a good mood.
Because he knew that the 128th Division, which was about to be reorganized into the Tenth Group Army, would not participate in the Jinling Battle that was about to enter hell. The Tenth Group Army was ordered to garrison the Jiangsu and Zhejiang defense lines, hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield here, and it really belonged to this warrior who fought bravely.
The lieutenant general's disaster will have to wait for 12 years, and he still has enough time to resolve it.
Therefore, Tang Dao's farewell was very straightforward.
"Haha! Commander Tang, I'm waiting for you here, not just to wait for you to say goodbye. You owe me a meal." Lieutenant General Gu looked at Tang Dao who jumped off his horse and stood at attention to salute and laughed loudly.
"That's it?" Tang Dao was slightly startled by this sudden statement.
It seemed that he had treated this man to drinks, meat and several heavy machine guns, yet he was about to leave and yet he came to beat him up!
Are all people from Hunan Province so brutal?
He glanced at the several lieutenant generals who were standing nearby to see him off, and all of them had serious expressions on their faces. They actually had an attitude that you deserve to be invited.
Damn it! We are so modern, yet we still bully honest people!
Seeing that Tang Dao was stunned, Lieutenant General Gu stopped laughing, waved his hand behind him, and said loudly: "Come here, take the gift I gave to Colonel Tang and the reporter from Tantai."
A lieutenant colonel adjutant trotted all the way carrying a small suitcase that looked quite broken and handed it to Tang Dao. His face was sore and he was mumbling: "Captain Tang, you have to take care of my 128th Division from now on."
Let’s have a big meal for the whole army!”
Damn it! You are indeed a Xiang barbarian! Even if the lieutenant general and teacher bully us, why do you form a group to bully us? Tang Dao complained silently while quickly accepting the small broken box.
Who cares! No matter how small the gift from the lieutenant general is, it is still a gift. It is still early to eat, right?
"I'm talking about Tang Dao! You are too smart. You just accepted the gift without asking. Anyway, you are a fool not to take advantage of it, right?" Lieutenant General Guo on the side sighed with a smile.
"Look, I was right! I knew this guy wouldn't refuse." Lieutenant General Wu said to his two colleagues with a stern look on his face. "You two, have a drink after the war.
You can't run away from me, Old Wu."
"No, I already thought that Colonel Tang was thick-skinned, but I didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned. What's even worse is that he didn't even say polite words to the knowledgeable Tantai reporter!" Lieutenant General Gu also sighed slightly.
.
"General Gu, we have said goodbye to each other without knowing when we will see each other again. All the officers and men of the three armies parted in tears. As comrades fighting side by side, if we don't accept the gift you gave us, we will not only live up to your sincerity.
The problem is that regardless of the friendship of this battle, Tang Dao and Tantai Mingyue will never do such a thing to disgrace the scenery!" Tantai Mingyue replied calmly and generously.
"Haha! Okay! The reporter from Tantai explained it very well. Colonel Tang has passed the test." Lieutenant General Gu laughed boldly.
While laughing, he got on his horse, sat on the horse, gave a military salute to his two lieutenant general colleagues, and said: "Brothers, see you on the battlefield tomorrow!"
"Commander Gu, see you on the battlefield!" The two lieutenant generals also saluted each other.
The war horse slowly walked past Tang Dao. Lieutenant General Gu did not lower his hand from the brim of his helmet. Tang Dao quickly stood at attention and saluted again.
"Tang Dao, you are good. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Lieutenant General Gu's eyes were very different.
"Sir, there will definitely be one. I believe that the brothers of the Hunan Army will make new achievements under your command!" Tang Dao replied seriously and sonorously.
This is not a compliment from Tang Dao.
In the past, except for the Hunan Army, which became famous in the Battle of Songhu, the Hunan Army had no achievements in the rest of the time. It was not that they were not good at fighting, it was precisely because they were good at fighting that the man who organized all the dozen infantry divisions of the Hunan Army into the Central Army
.
The Great Patriotic War went through 22 battles, seven of which took place in the bloody Hunan Province. The Changde Battle, the Hengyang Battle, the Xiangxi Battle, and the four Tanzhou Battles were all fierce battles. Naturally, the group army organized by the Hunan Army was indispensable there.
.
They are not only brutal, but also stubborn and strong.
"Haha! Okay, I'm very happy to have you say this. It means that I am a good Phoenix man. At least this gift is not in vain." Lieutenant General Gu suddenly felt happy.
"Da da da!" The horse started to trot.
"Tang boy, don't keep it all to yourself. I, Lao Gu, probably won't be able to catch up with the happy marriage between you and the reporter from Tantai, so I can only give you the congratulatory gift first and wish you two a son soon." He has already run away.
Lieutenant General Gu's voice came from a distance, more than thirty meters away.
Tantai Mingyue's face instantly turned red.
Tang Dao was busy opening the small broken box.
No one should get married with a big red envelope, and Lieutenant General Gu's gift must not be small.
A golden light almost blinded Tang Dao, who was busy "tearing up the red envelope"...
