Chapter 954: Pledge to Fight (2)
"Today, all the soldiers of our independent regiment are about to embark on the journey of the anti-Japanese front, here, I don't want to talk about any big truths, I just want to read two books and texts for everyone." Liu Lang didn't use the microphone, he walked to the edge of the ceremonial platform made of logs, and his eyes scanned the audience.
"One is the list of generals who have died in our army since July 7, 1937: General Tong Linge, Lieutenant General Zhao Dengyu died in Nanyuan, Beiping; Major General Huang Meixing died in Hongkou, and Major General Cai Bingyan died in Luodian. Although I am not a general, I will not let the generals specialize in the front, and I will be ready to kill and become a benevolent, so as to live up to the expectations of Sichuan, Guangyuan's fathers, and my parents' entrustment. ”
Liu Lang's categorical oath made the audience silent, and they even forgot to applaud. Especially at the moment when Liu Lang's parents' entrustment was mentioned, all the officers and soldiers present were silent.
Although they have the ambition to protect their families and defend the country, their parents, wives and children are also the softest corners of their hearts, and it is difficult not to feel sad when they think of them.
"Another book is that my father asked someone to bring Liu Lang a letter a few days ago, and every time Liu Lang reads it, he will shed tears on his clothes. However, as a soldier of the country, Liu Lang is a duty to protect his family and defend the country, and when his heart is like a knife, he can only look at the southwest from afar, and I hope that my blood can protect the safety of my parents and parents. Now I read the book of my father's house to everyone, and share the thoughts of my parents with all the brothers. Liu Lang took out a letter from his chest pocket and read it aloud: "My son Liu Lang, see the letter like a face." Since the Japanese invaded my border, my father often had trouble sleeping at night, and in recent months, my mother has also been a little thin.
At the beginning, you joined the army in Songhu, and my mother and I did not object, because I thought of you, I could do what I wanted to do, or be promoted, fame, fortune and glory, or spend my life with the woman I loved. However, my greatest fear is that I am my only son, who has not yet enjoyed life, that is, he will die in the bullets.
However, after decades of sleepless nights, I finally figured it out. When the country is broken, the family is destroyed, and when the mountains and rivers are broken, who can be alone? How can you enjoy life? As a soldier of China, you want to set foot on the front line of the war to defend the nation, which is also the life you love, of course, I must help you fulfill your will, and you must not forget your Chinese nation because of the love of licking calves.
Don't do it, Langwa. The army is about to set out on the same day, and it is useless to send your father and mother away in person, so as not to increase the sadness in your heart. That is, on the front line, you should put national affairs first, and don't think about your parents. My mother and I should train the villagers at home to prepare for our country and nation, and we will live up to the blood-stained battlefield of my son and all the officers and soldiers. ”
After reading a letter from home, the audience was full of sad sounds.
Many women covered their mouths to try not to let out their sorrows, and the men were also full of water, trying to hold back their tears from rolling and slipping.
That parent doesn't love their children? But when the country was ruined, he endured the pain of cutting his heart and sent his son to the battlefield, and even, for fear of tears hurting morale, he didn't even come to see it for the last time. Liu Shunhe's letter to his son Liu Lang is definitely a heavy tear gas for parents.
Facing the tears rolling in the eyes of the soldiers and the people, and the eyes were slightly moist, Liu Lang's sonorous voice did not stop: "Looking at my entire China and the whole of Sichuan, not only my father is so well aware of the righteousness, but this "death" flag sent by the old man of the Wang family to his son is also the representative of my Chinese parents. If we don't defend such parents, who will defend them? If we don't protect such a home, who will? Here there are 2,000 martyrs of my independent regiment who sacrificed for the country, and there are tens of thousands of people in my Guangyuan, and I Liu Lang swear here that if the Japanese are not destroyed, they will not return to their hometowns. ”
"The Japanese will not be destroyed, and they will not return home."
"The Japanese will not be destroyed, and they will not return home."
。。。。。。
Not only all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment chanted, but the surrounding people were also infected by Liu Lang's passionate officers and soldiers in the field, and most of them waved their arms and shouted slogans with tears streaming down their faces.
The sound of the mountain roaring and tsunami stirred up a rumbling echo in the mountains, and even if Liu Lang pressed down to signal that it could stop, the rumbling echo still rippled in the mountains. It seems that the ancient Qinling Mountains are also issuing a cry from the mountains for this army that is swearing to be a soldier.
"Now, I would like to invite the magistrate of Guangyuan County Wang to deliver a speech on behalf of the people." Zhang Ruhao stepped forward and invited County Magistrate Wang, who was standing in the audience, to speak on stage.
County Magistrate Wang did not wear a suit on weekdays this time, but wore a Chinese-style robe, standing in front of the stage, the old official who had been in the officialdom for decades was a little choked up for a while, and calmed down for a while before he hissed: "The soldiers who are about to go out on the expedition are mostly the people of Guangyuan, and Wang hereby promises that on any day, he will treat his parents and relatives well so that they have no worries about food and clothing." Wang has done a lot of wrong things in the past, but today Wang wants to change his mistakes, more than 100,000 people of our Sichuan army went out of Sichuan to the front line, Wang wanted to build a donation platform here to raise military salaries and military supplies, Wang first donated 10,000 yuan to his family. ”
After speaking, the Guangyuan county magistrate, who spoke simply and straight to the point, beckoned to the audience, and the four big men carried a large wooden box on the stage, and the county magistrate Wang took an axe handed to him by the family and slammed it towards the wooden box.
10,000 oceans is not a lot, and many family cellars that have been in business for hundreds of years and decades have much more silver than this, but this silver ocean is definitely a lot of money for County Magistrate Wang, who has not had much oil and water to fish in recent years.
Even Liu Lang didn't expect this old official to come to such a show today, this is the rhythm of the day!
Obviously, County Magistrate Wang was more decisive than Liu Lang, and it was not enough to split the silver box, but also threw his gold watch and gold ring on Yinyang.
With his demonstration, a group of gentry who were watching the ceremony in the audience followed suit, and those who brought money to prepare for the labor army took the money up, and those who did not bring money also threw the gold ornaments they brought on the stage. The man took out the gold watch, and the woman took off the gold bracelet from her wrist.
What Liu Lang and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment didn't expect was that it was not only these rich people who were acting. The crowd of onlookers spontaneously lined up in two long lines and walked under the rostrum, and everyone took out money and put it on the stage, including the ocean and copper dollars.
But the most unexpected thing is that an old beggar with a cane holding a broken rice bowl and ragged clothes tremblingly put the three copper dollars hidden in his arms on the pile of money, which may be his last possession, or maybe it is the survival money he set aside to prevent him from going without food for several days. But he didn't remember it, and he was resolute.
Looking at the trembling and somewhat rickety back, at that moment, all the people were silent, and everyone's eyes were moist, regardless of officers and soldiers.
That scene, countless years later, still stays in the minds of everyone who has stood in this school field.
And the moment when a group of disabled veterans who had no arms, legs or eyes put their saved military salaries on the stage without any nostalgia, it ignited the last tears that the audience desperately held back.
Whether it is as strong as Liu Lang or as weak as a little nurse in a field hospital, they all burst into tears, and the people in the audience cried together.
Not counting what the gentry promised, just counting on the spot, the people present donated more than 250,000 oceans and more than 400 taels of gold. But Liu Lang insisted on not accepting it, believing that since the money was donated to the Sichuan army by the people of Guangyuan, the independent regiment should not be used exclusively.
Liu Lang knew too well the predicament encountered by the Sichuan army at this time, because of his own birth, the weapons of the Sichuan army are now better than any single one in the past time and space, and the situation of a battalion without a few machine guns does not know how much better it is, in terms of light firepower at the battalion level, the Sichuan army will not even be weaker than the Japanese army.
However, the Sichuan army was really poor, and rubber shoes were also sent, but when they left Sichuan, most of the rubber shoes were still in their backpacks, and they were wearing straw sandals that they had long been accustomed to. According to the people in Chengdu, the 22nd Group Army, which was preparing to go north to resist Japan, only prepared 10 days of rations per person, looking forward to finding Shanxi old men for supplies when they arrived in Shanxi.
However, Liu Lang knew very well that in the past time and space, the old men in Shanxi were extremely disgusted with this batch of Sichuan troops, and did not allocate a single cent of military pay to supply materials at all.
In the end, it was decided that the Guangyuan County Government would transport this batch of property back to the county seat first, and then hand it over to Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army, which would soon leave Sichuan along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway as military supplies.
After pondering, Liu Lang and Zhang Ruhao Chi Dakui briefly discussed, and handed over the money to the old couple who originally opened a mutton shop in Shankou and the mayor of Shuguang Town, hoping that they would build a large herbal tea shop on the side of the highway.
The Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway will become the main road connecting Sichuan with the provinces, and a large number of materials and personnel will pass through here.
The boss and his wife accepted this request that was not a military order with tears in their eyes, patted their chests and said that they would definitely live up to Liu Lang's trust and run this herbal tea shop, and they would drive it for as long as the war was fought, even if they did not hesitate to exhaust their family wealth for this.
The mayor of the town of "Dawn" --- a retired second lieutenant of an independent regiment due to disability, also said that he would do his best to assist the boss and his wife in handling this matter well, and the town finance would ensure all the money and food supplies.
After everything was done, everything that should be said was also said, and with Liu Lang yelling, "Go to the expedition".
All the personnel of the independent regiment turned around collectively, and marched towards the three-jumping convoy that had been assembled three miles away amid the people's attention salute and the military salute of the comrades who stayed behind.
Liu Lang looked around, but never found that familiar shadow. The woman who loved him the most, the comrade-in-arms who had lived and died with him, did not appear in the crowd of people who saw him off.
With Liu Lang's free and easy, he couldn't help but be silently gloomy, and he didn't know when he would be able to see each other on this day.
However, just when Liu Lang was about to go, his eyes suddenly froze, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop.
To be exact, Liu Tuanzuo was stunned and stupid.
