Lv Kang's new Fifth Division approached Zaoyang, and the Japanese army's outer defenses began to loosen, and Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the 33rd Group Army, ordered a counterattack on the whole line, breaking through the Xianghe defense line in one fell swoop, and the army approached Suizao and Zaoyang.

In order to cooperate with this counteroffensive, Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth Theater, ordered the troops stationed in Dabie Mountain to move to Xinyang, an important town east of Suizao, creating the illusion of cutting off the Jinghan Railway.

Changshoudian in the south was blocked, Xinyang in the east was in danger, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army was completely in a passive situation. And now what they can do is to shrink their defenses and defend Suizao and Zaoyang.

(PS: The 13th Division of the Japanese Army is not a complete division, a force is stationed west of Xinyang, and it is less than the size of a brigade in the Suizao area.) ）

The first phase of the 33rd Group Army's counteroffensive has come to an end, and Zhang Zizhong is actively deploying the second phase of the offensive, taking the two counties of Suizao and Zaoyang, and fully occupying this area.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

In a single hospital room, Lixiang was inseparable from Yi Ren lying on the hospital bed. Liu Ying asked her to take care of Yi Ren's diet, as well as other chores.

Lixiang said aggrievedly: "You don't know, I've been staying in the field hospital for the past few days, and I have vomited several times when I see those bloody wounded. I hate war, he can only bring pain to people. I kind of regret coming with you, I just want to be happy and happy in life. ”

"Greedy girl. Pain and joy, misfortune and happiness are interdependent. Don't be pained, you never know the preciousness of pleasure. I think that only those who die on the battlefield are the most unfortunate. ”

After Yi Ren finished speaking, he smiled and then fell silent, as if thinking about something. He seems to enjoy the conversation with Lixiang, and every time he talks, he can understand life. While lecturing others, you are also telling yourself.

Traveling to this era, Yi Ren was once confused and painful. In these troubled times, being a soldier can contribute to the country and realize the mission of a soldier may be another form of happiness for yourself.

Rika bent her head, blinked, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

The corners of Yi Ren's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "Some people say that pain is more common than happiness in life, and pain is more reflective of life than happiness." ”

Lixiang retorted: "Hmph~ He is talking nonsense, life should be spent happily." ”

Yi Ren chuckled, feeling that Lixiang was an idealist, so he said, "Happiness is short-lived, even imaginary, while pain is more realistic and long-lasting." Pain can make people understand life and realize the value of life. ”

This time, Rika didn't refute again, just thinking.

Yi Ren finally said: "In fact, happiness is like the candy that lures a child to take medicine, or the bones that lure a dog to be obedient. Happiness is just a bait in life, and it will not become the protagonist of life. ”

Lixiang shook her head and said, "I don't understand." ”

At this time, Shao Fei and Gao Xiaowei walked into the ward. It seemed that Shao Fei and the others seemed to have come to say goodbye, the battle ahead was tight, and Lu Kang hoped that they would rush to the front-line headquarters as soon as possible.

"Let's talk, I'm going to think about the bones."

Seeing the two of them coming in, Rika decides to leave and let them talk, while she thinks about sugar and bones.

Gao Xiaowei watched Lixiang leave and said, "This girl, who thinks about this and that all day long, is not like a child at all." ”

Yi Ren lay on the hospital bed and sighed: "I think people are sometimes stupid, and living stupidly is the greatest happiness, and those philosophers are often the most painful." ”

Shao Fei walked to the bedside and said with a smile: "I found that girl likes to talk to you very much, or she will marry you after she is 18 years old." ”

Yi Ren said: "I like Lixiang very much, she can make me understand many things, but my thoughts are different from yours." I'm a soldier and I just want to do what I need to do as a soldier. Zhao Hongfei said that we have a way to go back. ”

Shao Fei hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Yi Ren shook his head and said, "He didn't say it." He had more things on his mind than we did, but he had to wait until the end of the anti-Japanese war. Because you came to this era before us, he knows the time gap, and a month in our reality is equivalent to a year here. According to his Rovi Script, we can live 7 more years. ”

Shao Fei pretended to scold: "This bastard, where is he doing this." Of our group, he was the one who enjoyed the crossing the most. In 7 months, our crazy boss will really become crazy. ”

After hearing this, Gao Xiaowei smiled and said, "Maybe the crazy wolf will really go crazy." But no matter what era we are, the faith of our military is the same. I didn't enjoy this crossing and I didn't resent it, I just wanted to do what we thought was right. ”

After listening to Xiao Wei's words, Yi Ren sighed: "Actually, we are all the same people, we are all a group of 'stupid' who chose the most difficult path. So, the four of us came together and became brothers. ”

Shao Fei and Gao Xiaowei both understood the meaning of Yi Ren's words.

Zhao Fei, who was originally the only son of the president of a certain company, is also a high-achieving student, and with his ability, he can completely crisscross the shopping mall and be rich and prosperous all his life. But he chose the path of a soldier for his dream of being a soldier.

Shao Fei excelled in high school, but he gave up the opportunity to go to college and went directly to the barracks. is also the dream of a soldier since childhood.

Yi Ren, with a prominent family background, did nothing in society, but he still chose the path of a soldier. Even in order to get rid of the aura that his father was a general, he asked his father to go through the back door to modify his family information, so that he could embark on the path of a soldier who only belonged to him.

And Gao Xiaowei, he doesn't want to be a soldier, he just wants to be an ordinary kind person, be a devout Christian, and enter the military camp is only one kind of training. But two years of military life made him fall in love with the army, and he resolutely embarked on the most difficult road of soldiers.

Soldiering is the common dream of these four people. The mission of soldiers is noble, and they continue to pay sweat and blood for the glory that only belongs to soldiers.

Shao Fei finally said: "Yi Ren, you take care of your injuries, we are going to go." When this battle is over, we will go south, where we have our own troops, and there is glory that belongs to us. ”

Yi Ren nodded and didn't say anything. Shao Fei and Gao Xiaowei saluted together, then turned around and left.

The Battle of Zaoyang will be Shao Fei's last battle in 1938. This year has been an extraordinary year, and Shao Fei has experienced too much. The Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, the Great Transshipment of Yichang, and the first major counteroffensive of the Chinese army. But his path is far from over, and he will spend the rest of the battle with his brother to achieve the glory of a soldier that belongs only to them!
