On the evening of the 28th, a stack of battle reports from the 19th Route Army was delivered to the former enemy headquarters in An Yi as usual.
An Yi, who was holding a combat meeting with Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Fifth Army, Hu Jialin, deputy commander and independent division commander, and Xia Jian, commander of the 39th Division, who came from afar, took the battle report, briefly read it, and handed it over.
He gave it to Ye Cheng, who was next to him, and whispered to him to sort it out, classify it and come up with his opinions, and hand them over to the chief officials. Then he once again discussed the coordinated operations with Zhang Zhizhong, Hu Jialin and others on the Jiangnan and Jiangbei fronts to make up for each other's problems.
Continue to discuss.
At this time, Director of the Political Department Zhan Zhan came in quietly and saw An Yi and several bosses lying on the edge of the sand table, immersed in secret discussions. He thought for a while and brought a copy of the Military Commission instructions he had just received to Ye Cheng:
"Lao Ye, the transport team of the 19th Route Army was bombed by enemy planes on a section of the road 12 kilometers east of Tongxiang. Four of the nine vehicles were blown up. One of the cars belonged to an official of the Central Party Department. No one was missing. The Military Commission called to ask.
Is Ms. Ye Qing, a reporter from the Central News Agency, reporting in our department? If so, please notify her immediately to rush back to Hangzhou. The name of the party official who died did not say, was he assigned to the Central News Agency by the Propaganda Department? "
"Wait! The battle report just sent by the 19th Route Army also mentioned this. It said that eleven people were sacrificed, four vehicles, large and small, a lot of clothing, raincoats, shoes and hats were lost. I just wanted the adjutant to be transferred to logistics.
File it with the Confidential Office and I’ll take a look.”
Ye Cheng compared all the two documents, thought for a while and whispered: "It really is the same thing, why don't you give the Military Commission's message to the commander for a look, the combat meeting is almost over, how to reply to the message and let the commander decide on his own
.”
"Ah, why bother the commander with such a trivial matter? The bosses of the Military Commission are really free. For three days, Japanese planes bombed everywhere, and we couldn't even get revenge. We sent three telegrams asking for war every day, but there was no reply, but for one
The party officials were so anxious after being bombed. Do they have to wait for the Japanese planes to bomb our field hospital before they become anxious?" Zhan Zai frowned slightly and made a rare complaint.
Ye Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this. Let alone the medical team of the International Red Cross in our field hospital, let's just say that the Japanese prisoners and more than a thousand foreigners are in our hands. If the Japanese army really dares to bomb us
hospital, don’t be afraid
Should we all chop off these more than a thousand heads? On Chongming Island, they chopped off more than a hundred Japanese heads with one shot. The Japanese immediately did not dare to massacre our civilians. Don’t think that the Japanese troops have no scruples. In fact, they did not
Scared."
Zhan Dao smiled "hehe" after hearing this, walked behind An Yi and waited for a while. When he saw that all the generals raised their heads after discussing, he handed the message to An Yi.
An Yi glanced at it and gave it to Zhan, saying that he should send a telegram back to the Military Commission and ask them to go to the Political Department of the 19th Route Army. How can we here care about this? After An Yi finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled, and pulled Yu Jishi and Wang Jingjiu to talk enthusiastically.
It's rare that I have such a free time today, so I've asked the logistics department to prepare a table of dishes. Everyone has to have a drink before leaving. Otherwise, if there is another war, I don't know when we can have a relaxing meal together.
When the generals heard the roar of laughter, Zhang Zhizhong raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and agreed to finish his meal before leaving. A group of generals put on their coats and military caps, filed out of the underground command post, and went up to the ground to see the greenery everywhere.
and the setting sun in the west, my heart is wide open, and I greedily open my mouth to breathe in the fresh air.
The long table in the woods had just been filled with sumptuous dishes, and the guard had just brought out a box of Jinxian wine. Before he could unpack it, the officer on duty trotted over and reported: "Director Dai drove the four guests to the camp gate.
He said he wanted to see the commander."
Yu Jishi laughed: "I came just in time. I haven't seen Brother Yunong for almost a month and a half."
"This guy, Lao Dai, specially chose dinner time to visit. What a ghost!" Major General Huang Yingwu, the representative of the independent division party, was very familiar with Dai Li when he was stationed in Nanjing. This time he finally took the opportunity to accompany Hu Jialin to a meeting to come and meet the boss An Yi. I heard that
Dai Li didn't forget to make a joke when he arrived.
An Yi smiled and quickly said "Invite" and asked Lin Yaodong to bring some bowls and chopsticks. He was wondering if Dai Li had brought several senior brothers from the Secret Service with him? Ever since An Yi informed Dai Li of the Northeastern invasion plan
After the disclosure, Dai Li became very concerned about this and specifically asked An Yi to report the implementation status at any time. It would be best to inform him of the implemented plans so that he could observe and learn.
When the generals saw An Yi stood up and went out to greet him, none of them moved their chopsticks. They sat at the long table and talked in low voices.
Hu Jialin's captain of the bodyguard, Li Yifu, was Hu Jialin's younger brother. Not long after he joined the independent division, he was dissatisfied when he saw Shen Fengdao's solitary and aloof demeanor. He entangled Shen Fengdao in a competition behind Hu Jialin's back. At that time, Shen Fengdao was holding the door of the side door of Xuzhou North Camp Headquarters with his hand.
Li Yifu stood on the door frame and looked lazily at the brothers from the secret service camp training on the playground. Li Yifu pretended to enter the door and bumped into Shen Feng with his shoulder.
Let me tell you, who would have thought that the moment Shen Fengdao was so strong, his shoulders shook slightly, and Li Yifu was knocked back a few meters. He did a somersault and managed to stand still. One shoulder and one arm could no longer exert their strength. From then on, he was convinced by Shen Fengdao.
, extremely respectful, and did not miss the opportunity at this moment. He stood beside Shen Fengdao and murmured about the difficulties in his skills.
Shen Fengdao was originally listless, but after listening to Li Yifu's question, he immediately became energetic. The two martial arts idiots no longer cared about what others were doing, and quietly walked to the forest aside, chatting in low voices, making gentle gestures with their hands, and enjoying themselves.
After a while, he suddenly heard a woman's cry, followed by An Yi's exclamation. Shen Fengdao was surprised and moved out of the woods like lightning. He quickly rushed to An Yi's side and saw Ye Qing and his sister Ye Zi.
Xin hugged each other and cried, and a graceful and dignified woman in her forties next to her wiped her tears frequently with the support of a handsome young man, and the worries in her heart were immediately put down.
Zhang Zhizhong, Hu Jialin and others also gathered around. Zhang Zhizhong had met Ye Qing's mother under the introduction of Ye Qing's uncle, Mr. Ye Chuqian, when he was in Guangzhou many years ago. He politely stepped forward to greet her and gently supported her.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye cried even more sadly when she saw the kind and kind Zhang Zhizhong. After talking intermittently for a while, everyone knew the reason: Ye Qing's fiancé, Lu Bingyan of the Central Party Committee, was unfortunately killed by the Japanese on his way to Shanghai from Hangzhou.
The plane was blown up and the Tongxiang security team dispatched more than 500 people but could not find any flesh and blood, only a shoe.
Zhan Dao and Ye Cheng looked at each other in confusion. Only then did they understand what the Military Commission's telegram and the 19th Route Army's battle report were all about.
Ye Qing buried his head in tears on his sister's shoulders. The generals thought that since they are dead, they are dead. How can there be no death on the battlefield? If Ye Qing doesn't rush back to Hangzhou as soon as possible to deal with his fiancé's funeral, why are he here to find An Yi? Only
Shen Fengdao and the captain of the guard Lin Yaodong knew the subtle relationship. Seeing An Yi's busy appearance, they quickly invited Ye Qing's family to sit down at the long table on the edge of the woods.
Dai Li vaguely guessed the inside story and shook his head slightly. When he came up to meet Yu Ji, Wang Jingjiu greeted him in a low voice. The orderlies quickly served water and tea. They were so busy that a good dinner suddenly turned into tears and laughter.
A place of comfort.
An Yi didn't expect that things would turn out like this. His heart suddenly felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. He had all kinds of tastes. He sat opposite the Ye family sisters and whispered a few words of comfort, then he didn't know what to say. When he saw Ye
The handsome young man next to the lady stared at her
After a while, I looked at it and felt a bit familiar. I guessed that this must be Ye Qing's younger brother, Zixin's older brother Ye Ziquan, so I nodded kindly to him and respectfully asked the old lady: "Mrs. Ye, please give me your condolences! I don't know Hangzhou.
Does Mr. Lu’s family know about this?”
"Oh, General An, Xiao Qing is so sad just because he knows that Mr. Lu's family is very open-minded, but his wife is unwilling. Xiao Qing must wear mourning as his daughter-in-law and organize the funeral. I just finished the phone call with Xiao Qing.
When Qing knew this, he was so angry that he fainted! When he woke up,
She didn't cry or make a fuss or talk after that. Her eyes were so frightened that we were all frightened. When I asked urgent questions, I just said, I must see you before I go back, otherwise I would rather jump into the Huangpu River! I had no choice but to ask Yiyuan
Mr. Chen, the steward, found Mr. Dai and hurried over...
General An, we all know in our family that you and your sister, Miss Gong Qian, are Xiao Qing's best friends. You are just like your own sisters and brothers. We haven't finished worrying about Miss Gong's suffering. This happened to Xiao Qing again.
What can we do about this kind of thing? They are all hateful Japanese. If they hadn't invaded China, how could we have suffered this way?" After Mrs. Ye finished complaining, her tears could not stop flowing down again.
.
The generals sighed frequently after hearing this. Knowing the brother-sister relationship between Ye Qing and An Yi, they no longer thought of anything else.
Zhang Zhizhong saw that it was not a problem, apologized to Mrs. Ye, pulled An Yi aside, and whispered: "The heart disease is difficult to solve. It seems that it is better for you to persuade Miss Ye. No matter what, you have to go back first."
You can feel at ease only if you go to Hangzhou to deal with the funeral of the deceased. The Lu family's request is a bit too much. Miss Ye can totally adapt to it. It is always necessary to go to pay homage. It is not in vain to be polite and meet each other.
field."
An Yi nodded and said nothing. In his heart, he was worried about Ye Qing and felt a little disgusted by Mrs. Lu's unreasonableness. While feeling guilty and remorseful, he actually had a little bit of shameful pleasure. Such complex emotions.
, which made An Yi very confused.
The two returned to the long table. An Yi walked up to Ye Qing and before he could speak, the young Ye Quan suddenly stood up and asked An Yi loudly: "General, I request to join your team and work together under the general's command.
Fight against the Japanese invaders!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Ye Ziquan in surprise, who had a firm face and puffed up his chest, trying his best to look like a man. After Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment, she cried "Wow" and hugged her son.
Waist, choked whisper:
"Quan'er, you are the only child of our Ye family! Don't you want your mother to live? I sent you to the United States to study for five years. Do you expect this from you..."
Everyone was silent for a while, not daring to speak, but Zi Xin stood up angrily and hugged her mother: "Mom, what are you doing? What's wrong with joining the army to protect your family and country? Don't even look at this place.
Where...Brother, help me, help mom sit up..."
Ye Ziquan quickly helped his mother sit down. Mrs. Ye grabbed her son's hand and made her son promise not to join the army. However, Ye Ziquan stubbornly replied that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Enemies of the country and the family must avenge their shame, which suddenly made Mrs. Ye anxious.
The main character Ye Qing, who was in tears and was in urgent need of comfort and relief, was not noticed by many people.
"It's all chaos, it's all chaos! Mom, please stop crying, okay? My decision is not wrong. Don't say that I am a man. Even my daughter has the desire to join the army. The country is in crisis. If we don't drive away the invaders, there will be no peace.
Life? Dad is much more open-minded than you. To tell you the truth, dad has no objection to my brother joining the army. Anyway, my brother has graduated from college and he has the right to choose his own path in life. My daughter also has the right to choose his own life path.
Same, she's almost nineteen, she's grown up early. My sister has been able to travel all over the world over the years, and even went to war-torn battlefields for interviews. Haven't she lived a good life and made great achievements over the years? My daughter is also today
I want to tell you, whether you object or not, I will not go back to the United States, and I will join the army, just like my brother!" Zi Xin became more and more excited as she spoke, and suddenly made a shocking decision.
Mrs. Ye fainted immediately. Everyone helped her up and was quickly sent to the field hospital in the west. Zi Xin stamped her feet, glanced back at An Yi, pulled Zi Quan and trotted to follow. A group of generals were left.
He stayed in the open space with Ye Qing, who had wiped away his tears.
Ye Qing raised his head and looked at An Yi who was approaching him expressionlessly: "Do you also advise me to go back to Hangzhou?"
An Yi nodded heavily: "No matter how bad the situation is, you will always have to face it. My teacher Mr. Wen Bai just said it well, even if it is a friend, it is good to pay homage. It is not in vain to know each other and meet each other."
In this way, parents can feel more at ease."
Ye Qing swallowed his dry throat hard: "Okay! I'll go and rush back to Hangzhou overnight to pay homage to the dead man. However, I will never wear mourning for him, let alone shed a drop of my blood for him.
Tears, no matter what his family thinks of me, no matter what others say about my status, I will go to his mourning hall to pay homage, but I want to tell you that after going there, I will be married once. In this life, I will never
Let’s talk about marriage again! Never!”
"Sister Qing... Xiaojiu, hurry up and catch up. It looks like Sister Qing is going to the hospital. You should take a platoon of the guard regiment with you. If Mrs. Ye is fine, send them back to Hangzhou overnight in a guard car!"
An Yi quickly arranged it.
"yes!"
Lin Yaodong quickly caught up with Ye Qing.
At this time, An Yi didn't have the courage to catch up. His mood was extremely complicated at this time, and he didn't know how to face this sudden change - Ye Qing, how should I face you in the future!
