Under the morning light, the snow on the curved road has been trampled by numerous military shoes and horse hooves to create a dark brown muddy extension line. The wheels of the 75th artillery dragged by six strong draft horses made the snow make a "chirping" sound. , the clouds of mist exhaled from the mouths of humans and horses are instantly cooled and eroded by the cold air.
The Anyi Independent Regiment of more than 3,000 men is marching silently eastward. The officers and soldiers are wearing the same bloated gray cotton-padded jackets and trousers as the troops of the Northern Expedition. On their heads is still the big cap that looks good but is not useful. The only thing different from the others The difference between the troops is that the necks and heads of the officers and soldiers were tightly wrapped in pieces of dark thick velvet, leaving only half of their faces and a pair of bright black eyes exposed.
This simple piece of square flannel cloth, three feet long and wide, was specially made by An Yi from seven tailor shops in old Nanchang. Since the entire army did not have a uniform distribution of cold-proof hats, An Yi could only use this method. A simple purchase to protect his brothers from the wind and cold. What An Yi didn't expect was that it was this simple "cold-proof scarf" that made the brothers in the regiment feel warm and made the old Nanchang people see the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment. The spirit of camaraderie between.
Smoke curled up from cooking fires for several kilometers on either side of the small stone bridge. More than 3,200 officers and soldiers took a break here to prepare breakfast. An Yi, Hu Hu, Gu Laoer, Yin Jinan, Yang Bin and other chief officers all gathered together after dismounting and couldn't help but look north. Go, under the big snow-covered tree in the distance, is the place where they and Gao Zhihua’s troops jointly fought and finally formed an encirclement dozens of days ago. Now the snow is howling, the cold wind is howling, and the white mist is vast. The former battlefield is completely covered by snow. Gao Zhihua Hua's voice and smile appeared clearly in the minds of An Yi and others.
"If Brother Gao had lived, he would now be the Major General Commander of the Second Division of the Independent Division of our First Army. He would definitely fight side by side with us back home this time!" An Yi couldn't help but sigh.
The brothers lamented, and Yin Jinan said sadly: "Since the Northern Expedition, my Huangpu comrades have killed more than 200 people and wounded more than 700 people. Almost half of the officers and soldiers in each army have been replaced. How many heroes like Brother Gao died young? , and how many soldiers who died in obscurity have been forgotten by the world, this is war!"
"No matter what others do, we must not forget. As long as we can survive until the end of the Northern Expedition, we must remember to erect monuments and memorials to all the brothers who have sacrificed their lives since the establishment of the Third Engineer Company." Huzi said in a deep voice.
Yin Jinan nodded: "Don't worry, Beard. My record book of fallen soldiers is kept in duplicate and kept separately. Every brother who died in the battle is recorded in it. The names of many dead brothers also appear in the internal battle records we have compiled now. In the textbook, every brother who sees it will always remember it. Unfortunately, fifty-one of them are still unable to contact their families, unable to send pensions and martyr certificates. They must wait until the war is over. Sending special personnel to search for him is an old rule we set when we formed the army, and no one can change it."
Yang Bin, Ye Cheng and Qu Muchen looked at each other and were deeply moved. Thinking of the actions of An Yi and the sincere brotherhood of the officers and soldiers of the model camp, they were all deeply moved that they could join this team with distinctive personalities. To comfort and rejoice, looking at the various warlords and forces in China today, who can do this? However, these three young officers have done it, and they have been doing it silently and done it so perfectly.
After an hour and a half of rest and meals, the officers and soldiers who had enough food and drink again organized their clothes again and set foot on the journey.
There is a biggest motivation in my heart that inspires them at all times, that is, to strive to enter the three rows of the teaching team in the next selection, it can be honored to become the "King of Bing" that the boss An Yi said.
Xia Jian's one battalion 500 officers and soldiers walked at the forefront of the team, followed by the three battalions.
After the departure, the team will pass through the town of Jinxian County without stopping, and go straight to the Qianqian Town in the 30 kilometers east. All officers and soldiers can only rest a little bit, including horses, and can only take dry food on the way.
And snow water charges hunger.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the officers and soldiers of the Second Army and Fourth Division who were stationed here enthusiastically greeted the brothers of the Anyi Regiment. Due to the relationship between An Yi, Yin Jinan and Zhang Tianyi, the commander of the four divisions, the two armies.
The brothers felt good at each other. Lieutenant Colonel Qiao Youlin, the current leader of the engineering battalion, went to the gate of the city to welcome him, and gave An Yi and Yin Jinan with the twelve altar and 20 pounds of Jinxian and old wine, and told the two of them: the battalion chief Zhang Tianyi was already in Yu.
He was ordered to study in Russia half a month ago. Before leaving, he instructed to form a brother with the friendly model camp to fight side by side.
An Yi and Yin Jinan took the gifts happily thanks.
Go out of the two miles of the east of the city, the beard uses a whip to point forward: "Xiaoyi, do you see? Tiger's head holding the horse standing on the side of the road, the man on the side seemed to be our old friend Shen Madman, what did he do here?"
An Yi was surprised to pull the scarf with a half face, and see clearly that the people standing in the curve of the curve dozens of meters away were indeed Shen Crazy who had left for a long time. At this time, he was dressed in a cyan robe and buckled on his head.
With the black width of the top of the top literati, a black long scarf hangs around his neck, and let the cold wind blow the scarf fluttering, swinging, at first glance, it is chic and elegant.
The polite young teachers who are polite.
"What do this guy want to do? Wouldn't you thank you?"
An Yi was so painful that he was in his heart, but he was unwilling to see this deep look of the high -rivers and lakes.
The beard saw An Yi's mind, and asked with a smile and whispered: "If the madman is left without leaving, what should you do?"
"Impossible! Where can our small temples supplies such a big bodhisattva? He will not follow us as a soldier, otherwise what do he ransacked huge wealth again and again? Everyone like everyone has their own ideals and ideals of life and
Great ambitions, how can he be a soldier in our team with his status and outstanding skills today? It is estimated that he knows that we are going to have something to say about it. "
After An Yi said that the horses were greeted, at least the politeness still had to have.
Shen Madz saw An Yi and the beard coming, and then stood up and stood up, giving him a fist at An Yi and beard who was dismissed: "Brother An, Brother Hu, met again."
The beard of a uniform also hugs the fist in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes: "It has been violated for a long time, Brother Shen, I did not expect to see you in this suburbs of the small town of the middle of the Gan, all of them?"
"The injury of the flesh is insufficient, and my brother is missing!"
Shen Mado showed a shallow smile on the beard, and took off the hat solemnly at An Yi: "Brother An, the brothers were in a hurry on the day, because the brothers needed to rush back to the hometown to deal with the customs. From then on, he was unwavering, and he was willing to follow Brother An Nan to conquer a hundred battles, build his merits, and do not spend the years and abandon his life.
An Yi was surprised to look at the sincere Shen madman, and then look at Gu Laoshi's second child around him, and when he turned to the beard, he was a bit unfavorable:
"Beard, I ... what ... this ... Brother Shen said to fight with me, I didn't hear it right?"
"Probably this means."
An Yi froze for a moment, and then shook his head and laughed: "Brother Shen, don't be kidding! With Brother Shen, how can you be so aggrieved? As the saying goes, Dao Tian Gao Ren Birds fly to the sea. The eagle of high soaring in the sky! How can Hongye and me wait for the birds? Isn't it possible! Haha ... If Brother Shen feels the grace of being a little bit of the springs, leave the address as much as possible, wait for the younger brother to wait for the younger brother Following the comrades of the revolution to complete the Northern Expeditionary cause, we will definitely take the time to visit the door. At that time, there will be a small wine, let's get drunk! "
Shen Crazy smiled slightly and didn't care about Anyi's attitude: "Brother An has been modest, if you really want to tout each other, Brother An is the golden dragon who has just drove the clouds. Even if my brother is the eagle I only pecks, how can I compare it? The reason why Brother An is so confused is that Brother An is concerned and unwilling to keep his brother? Please rest assured. The military has no regrets, and I urge Brother An to accept it. Brothers are willing to start from ordinary soldiers, and set the heart to report to the country.
"Boss, promise! You can keep it with a bandit of a family robbery, let alone Brother Shen is so handsome?" Gu Laojie begged, and the beard also looked at An Yi slightly nodded.
An Yi is full of contradictions. Of course, he really wants to accept this master who has unanimously respected by masters such as Gu Laojie and Beard, but he really has no grasp of controlling the tube. Shen Madman is not so good to pass so well. He wants to think about what is good. In the end, he still feels that instead of rejecting each other's injuries and being, it is better to agree with his request for a while. After life is boring, most of them will retreat from loneliness.
After making the idea, An Yi nodded slightly: "In this case, then he is wronged!
"arrive!"
Gu Lao was stunned, but he still treated seriously in accordance with the military regulations.
"From today, this surname Shen's recruits have entered your guards and served. He can directly award him the rank of second -class soldiers. The enlistment procedures will be filled in by your head instructor and sent to the instructor Yin to approve it, and then go to the army to receive clothing and guns and ammunition."
After An Yi turned around and walked around her war horse, she turned forward without saying a word. She hugged the fist apologize to Shen Madz, and followed.
Gu Laosi looked at An Yi in the distance, whispered a few words, and turned to Shen Madman with a bitter smile: "Brother Shen, this ... it is really wronged you. This procedure is stipulated in the army. Application, just brother, your name ... "
"It's simple, just use the character that my mentor gave me as my name in the year I was crowned. Let's call it Shen Fengdao. My age is twenty-six years old and my place of birth is Gucheng, Hubei Province. Junior Brother Gu, don't worry, since Brother Yu has made up his mind. If you join the army, you won't have any grievances or burdens. Junior brother can do whatever he wants, and there is no need to add any burden to me." Crazy Shen said calmly.
Gu Laoer nodded: "Okay, in that case, I'll find a horse for you, and I'll go through the relevant procedures when I get to the campground in the afternoon."
"There is no need to look for horses. I know that most of the horses in your army were captured by the brothers. I will get one myself when I get to the battlefield. The Zhejiang army is stationed in a prosperous land, and the generals in the army are all worth hundreds of thousands. Their guns and sabers are very particular, and the horses they ride are not much worse than your Hequ horse. If I'm lucky, I can get a good horse for Hu Hu." Crazy Shen's words were calm but full of confidence and heroism.
Gu Laoer had no choice but to give up and whispered a few words to Madman Shen before leaving in a hurry to inspect the headquarters.
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly and followed the team calmly, walking nonchalantly through the snow.
