An Yi, who was in a state of ignorance, had no idea that one of his transfers would affect the nerves of the five giants, nor did he know that the front he was about to go to would be the only Zhenjiang on the entire front that was still shelling each other. But
He received a call from Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek personally
At that time, I happened to have a lively conversation with dozens of young representatives from all over the country. This group of passionate and excited intellectual young people saw An Yi's face change and immediately stopped talking. They all looked at An Yi blankly, as if they wanted to
Find the answer from An Yi's handsome and mature face.
After An Yi signed the urgent message, he slowly put away the pen, glanced regretfully at the young friends in the room, spread his hands, shook his head and said apologetically:
"Everyone, I'm sorry! The headquarters received an emergency order and will go to the front line of the Northern Expedition within 24 hours. Therefore, the good wishes that friends have talked about for several days can only be realized by the brother troops who are taking over the defense. Please
After you go back, please tell more friends if you are willing to join the army.
, you can stay and wait for the arrangement of the defense troops. If you don't want to, you can return to your respective schools to continue your studies. The construction and prosperity of the country not only require soldiers, but also professionals from all walks of life. Because our ministry will soon be
I'm going into battle and can't be with you all anymore, I'm sorry!"
The youth representatives were in an uproar, and many of them were filled with reluctance. Several of them, female students from Shanghai, suddenly burst into tears and actually covered their faces and cried in front of everyone...
On the morning of the 5th, the last special train carrying the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment Model Battalion and the Regiment Headquarters was about to leave. The platform of Kunshan Station was crowded with citizens and young students who came to see off the train.
During its half-month garrison, this army, which is well-known in the north and south, left seven small bridges and 16 kilometers of new roads to the people of Kunshan, repaired more than 50 dilapidated houses, supported the lives of more than a hundred lonely elderly people, and burned opium.
Punishing bullies has won the heartfelt love and support of the people of Kunshan.
Outside the command car in the middle of the train, gongs and drums were beating and colorful flags were waving. Dozens of representatives from seven organizations including the Kunshan Federation of Trade Unions, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Federation of Students solemnly delivered banners and plaques amidst bursts of applause and cheers.
In the hands of group leader An Yi and instructor Yin Jinan.
An Yi, Yin Jinan and other generals took it over respectfully and saluted and thanked each representative one by one.
Before leaving, the representatives signaled the drum music to stop and unanimously asked An Yi and Yin Jinan to say a few words.
Deeply moved, An Yi and Yin Jinan's eyes were slightly red, and they didn't know what to say for a moment. An Yi took a deep breath, gratefully glanced at the representatives in front of him and the thousands of farewell crowds on the platform one by one, and finally
He whispered a few words to Guan Shan, the instructor of the communications company next to him. Guan Shan quickly walked to the connection between the train carriages, quickly climbed onto the roof of the train, and loudly ordered to the officers and soldiers in the open carriages at the front and rear:
"Brothers, all stand up! Listen to my command and sing "Serve the Country with Loyalty"! Prepare... the smoke rises... prepare - sing!"
"Wolf smoke is rising, the mountains and rivers are looking north, dragons are curling up, horses are neighing, swords are like frost, my heart is like the boundless water of the Yellow River, in twenty years, who can resist... Why would I die a hundred times to serve my country, I can't bear to sigh, and I am even more speechless.
Full of blood and tears..."
The singing started, and soon it became one. The more they sang, the more uniform they became, and the more they sang, the louder and louder they sang. More than two thousand soldiers crowded into twelve carriages sang loudly with pride, and their majestic and heroic songs soared into the sky.
, immediately shocked the hearts of thousands of soldiers and civilians at the station who saw them off.
Amid the loud singing, An Yi and Yin Jinan solemnly saluted again and boarded the slowly moving train one after another without looking back.
The heart-stirring singing echoed on both sides of the railway. Thousands of people and more than a thousand reluctant students from all over the country silently watched the train go away. Until the singing became faint and gradually became inaudible, they still could not recover from the artistic conception of the heroic, persevering and tragic singing.
Come.
In the crowded crowd, Shanghai student representative Ding Molan, who was trembling slightly with excitement, was still staring blankly in the direction where the train disappeared. Her fair and exquisite nose kept shrinking and expanding, her big clear eyes were filled with crystal tears, and her small red mouth
Squirming slightly and kept mumbling:
"I want to go, I must go, even if I walk into the smoke of gunfire, I will go..."
"Me too!"
Qiu Mingxuan, a student representative from Nanjing Polytechnic College, approached Ding Molan and looked into her beautiful eyes kindly but firmly:
"I wonder how Mo Lan feels at this moment? Anyway, I will never hesitate again! From the eyes of General An and Colonel Yin, and from the majestic singing of the soldiers, I suddenly saw the direction of life and the destiny of the country and the nation.
I hope that with them, I will no longer be confused or alone, I firmly believe that!"
"Me too! So did several sisters who came with me. They were so moved that they even hugged each other and cried."
Zhang Ruyi, a representative of Shanghai Devon Nursing School, came up and held Ding Molan's arm tightly, shook her waterfall-style hair boldly, and then raised her head firmly.
Ding Molan, who was only nineteen years old, wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, combed her bangs covering her smooth forehead, glanced at the crowd of people slowly retreating on the platform, turned to the two good friends she had met recently and smiled:
"Okay! I guess there are many students who think the same as us. Since more than a thousand students from all over the country still choose to stay, they must have firmer determination. Let's go back to the city and ask everyone. If they are willing, we can join them.
Let's rush to Zhenjiang together, there's no problem with the travel expenses, I'll be responsible for it."
"Great! I'll go and notify the sisters immediately."
The exquisite and beautiful Zhang Ruyi happily ran towards a large group of fellow students behind her.
Qiu Mingxuan smiled elegantly and said: "Let's go, try to catch the 1:30 noon train, otherwise we will have to stay in Kunshan for another day. With so many students insisting on staying, the room and board allowance given by Colonel Yin will almost be used up.
."
"OK."
Ding Molan nodded, sniffed Xiaoyao's nose and left side by side with Qiu Mingxuan.
On the train, An Yi looked at Yin Jinan who was looking out the window across from him. He heard the farewell banquet at Duan Chenghuai's house last night and sighed softly:
"Jinan, don't worry, General Duan likes you in his heart. Although he has not expressed his position on you and Xin'er, I can see that he values you very much, otherwise he would not hold a banquet to practice it.
"
Yin Jinan turned to look at An Yi, his face full of disappointment and desolation: "Uncle Duan is indeed a respectable elder, but I can also feel that he is worried about Xin'er's future... we keep wandering around like this
It's hard to say that I can survive well when I move to war, so I haven't been able to express my attitude more closely.
, I didn’t express my love for her to Xin’er. Seeing her so sad last night made me panic. I hope she can understand my difficulties... By the way, it turns out that Uncle Duan and our Li
I have known the vice-principal for a long time, and he told me that he would leave Kunshan soon and move back to his hometown in Chizhou to live a secluded life."
"What? Why don't you tell me earlier?" An Yi was very surprised.
Yin Jinan smiled bitterly: "I only knew it the night before yesterday. During this time, I visited him to appease him almost every day. Who knew that he would meet Xin'er.
Without blocking, I discussed the battle of Tonglu and the battle of Kunshan with me. After I learned from me that you personally commanded his assault, he was very heartbroken, but he understood your approach. This made me feel at his mind.
respect.
He discussed with him for a long time the night before. In the end, he said with emotion that when he was in the second phase of the Army University, he was a brother of Vice President Li. I was surprised when I heard it.
The good relationship with Vice President Li told him that he was very surprised, and then asked me to ask you to have a meal together, but I seem to think that he is quite afraid of you, right? "
An Yi laughed and stared at his hand: "No one likes the person who defeats himself. This is normal, haha! But your guy should not hide, you should take the initiative to tell Uncle Duan that you like Xin'er, tell him waiting for him
After the battle, visit them, so that they have a hope ... Well, then you will find Vice President Li Jishen to help you as a matchmaker. You are also a student loved by Vice President Li. He must be willing to promote this good thing. "
"Don't mention it, I don't have a little bit in my heart, so I will give it to God to decide. If the Northern Expedition is still alive, I will go to Chizhou to find them. As long as Xin'er hasn't matched it to others, I immediately asked Uncle Duan to kiss the kiss Duan.
. "Yin Jinan finally said something.
An Yi praised happily: "This is my good brother! You boy fights to judge two people, which time you are not in the front of the soldiers? Take half of your fighting spirit to deal with Xin'er,
Maybe the candle beads have a dark knot in the cave room, what else do you use to wait for the Northern Expedition? "
"Brother, look at your mouth ... don't tell you anymore, really his mother's hooligan ..."
"Hahaha……"
At 11.40 noon the next day, the slow train finally arrived at Zhenjiang Station smoothly. An Yi and Yin Jinan, who were notified in advance, were prepared early.
Besides
"Reporting Chang Guan, An Yi, the head of the second division, An Yi, and the instructor Yin Jinan pays tribute to you!"
The three teachers Gu Zhu gave a gift at the same time haha: "You both of you are more mature! In the blink of an eye, it has become the Yingjie and model in the first four phases of Huangpu.
Instructor? "
An Yi stunned, thinking of the few meetings in Huangpu in the past, and the brotherhood between Jiang Dingwen and Gu Zhutong.
I ordered the students, but I dare not make it. "
"Haha! Good you, you are really exquisite, it is worthy of being a person who is optimistic about the three brothers, yes, good!"
Gu Zhutong smiled to Yin Jinan and ordered: "Xiao Yin, you can find someone to contact my deputy, he will take your troops to the city camp in the city, you will come immediately after you are busy." Speaking of which here
He turned his head to Anyi, "Let's go with me, An Yi, I set up two tables of wine at a spring to pick up the wind for you.
After attending together, after the drinking after drinking, I had to take this special line to Kunshan. "
"Yes!" Yin Jinan replied respectfully.
"Thank you, instructor! Please first..."
An Yi respectfully accompanied Gu Zhutong out of the platform. Just as he was about to see if Shen Fengdao, who had arrived first, had brought his horse, Gu Zhutong called him into a brand new American Chevrolet sedan at the station gate.
An Yi knew Gu Zhutong's style. He knew that the suave Gu Zhutong liked prostitution and gambling. He was very protective of his subordinates and was very easy-going to those he liked. He had no airs and looked down upon those he liked. He had almost nothing to say, and was even a little cold and arrogant, so An Yi got into the car and joked with him with confidence: "Instructor, this car is really good, why don't you keep the car!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhutong laughed loudly: "Don't you know, this car was originally allocated to you. It just drove over from Nanjing yesterday. I saw that this car is quite new, so I borrowed it first."
An Yi looked at Gu Zhutong in surprise: "What... is going on? Instructor, are you kidding?"
Gu Zhutong put away his smile and explained with a serious face: "This is assigned to you by the principal himself, in recognition of your contribution in the Northern Expedition. This kind of treatment is only given to a few people in the entire army, and they are all from the top. You are the only general, lieutenant general and other military chiefs below to receive this honor, so you must cherish it!"
"So that's it... The students are indescribably grateful, but it would be nice if they were replaced by a few trucks. Our regiment's artillery battalion is short of tractors and ammunition-carrying trucks." An Yi touched the shiny car wall and was happy. He said with regret.
Gu Zhutong looked at An Yi in surprise, and then nodded appreciatively: "Xiao Yi, you are worthy of being a student who is valued by the principal and so many of our instructors. It is precisely because you have such a broad mind that you have such a big ambition." Progress is gratifying and admirable. I have always been optimistic about you!
Well, I will leave you six vehicles, which are all spoils of war I captured in Suzhou and Changzhou. Four of them are brand-new Ford three-ton trucks, and two are one-and-a-half-ton Chevrolet pickup trucks. They are probably new to you. The expanded artillery battalion will help, but you have to find the drivers yourself, and I have to take away the only fifteen drivers I have."
"Thank you so much! The instructor is such a generous gift...how should the students repay it?" An Yi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Gu Zhutong, who looked dignified and had the air of a Confucian general, waved his hand: "This is not because I am generous, but because the principal has received strong support from Shanghai capitalists this time. Shanghai will give the principal a batch of urgently needed heavy-duty trucks, the number of which is about sixty." If your unit is still stationed in Kunshan, it is estimated that your unit will be allocated about five to ten vehicles. After all, your independent regiment's outstanding military exploits are there, no one dares to be jealous of you, and the principal has already planned this.
As the military vehicles originally purchased from European and American countries continue to arrive, several divisions of our first army will receive the equipment of a vehicle company. It is estimated that it will take another month or two to arrive. The reason why I left you a few vehicles is Mainly out of consideration for the frontline war in Zhenjiang, it won't be too late to pay me back when you have more."
"Thank you, instructor! Thank you!" An Yi thanked him again and again.
"Don't thank me, just have a few more drinks later, haha..."
