Chapter 957: Heading North
Xiong Si couldn't rely on any of the officers and soldiers he was familiar with after all, and Lieutenant Colonel Ji, who was wearing a red wedding dress, stroked its furry head and whispered comfort.
With Lieutenant Colonel Ji by his side, Xiong Si was no longer as anxious as before.
It's just that the figure of the bear squatting on the side and watching the line of people leave, is a little lonely.
In addition to puzzlement, there was more melancholy in the big dark circles, and groups of its familiar figures walked past it, walking into the distance without hesitation. The natural sensitivity from animals makes it a little frightened, and those figures may never be seen again.
Its human friends may be gone forever as they left it today without hesitation.
Liu Lang did not have time to comfort the giant panda, who was holding a two-year-old child in his arms.
The child who had just learned to shout "old man" screamed and broke free from his mother's arms and rushed into the middle queue to hug his father's leg, his father, Lieutenant Lan Guanhu of the special brigade had tears in his eyes, but he stiffened his heart and pulled away his son's hand, handed it to his wife, who was also in tears, and resolutely chased after the team and left.
The child cried heartbreakingly, and his young age made him not understand why his father, who had always loved him and regarded him as a treasure, was so ruthless today, and he didn't even kiss him, and his young heart wanted his father to prick his little face with his beard stubble as usual, and he liked the feeling of being spoiled by his father very much.
A child cried, with several or even dozens of children crying, and some babies who were still swaddling were awakened by the crying, opened their confused eyes, and began to cry heartbreakingly. The women who came to see off their husbands with their children in their arms finally couldn't help but cry when they saw their husbands leave without looking back.
I don't know if my husband will return safely, and I don't know if they will be able to see their children when they grow up.
Liu Lang strode forward to pick up Lan Guanhu's son, and hugged the still crying child to catch up with the marching queue.
It was not his father's familiar face, but it had his father's color and taste, and his familiar beard stubble, and the child's crying gradually stopped.
"Lan Guanhu is out of the ranks." Liu Lang strode to catch up with the special brigade and ordered loudly.
Lan Guanhu, dressed in military uniform, stepped out of the ranks.
Liu Lang continued to say in a loud voice: "Pass my order, all the people in the army, all those who have parents, wives and children to see them off, go out and say goodbye to their relatives for three minutes." The queue does not stop, the leader of the special brigade, and the national anthem is loyal. β
"The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the family and country
I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
Dignified China wants to let the Quartet ......
Come to congratulate
γγγγγγγγγγ

The song of loyalty to the country resounded throughout the Qinling Mountains.
In the singing, from time to time, officers and soldiers who saw their parents, wives and children walk out of the queue and say goodbye to their families one by one according to military orders, and then resolutely turn back to catch up with their own team and merge into the dark blue. Not only did the parents stuff their children's arms with the food they had brought wrapped in cloth bags, but the crowd on one side stuffed hard-boiled eggs, baked flatbreads, and dried fruits into the hands of the soldiers who were marching, and the soldiers carefully took them one by one with tears in their eyes, while singing loudly and continuing to step forward.
The army that went out on the expedition did not stop at all the other orders of the regimental commander.
Lan Guanhu hugged his son, who was smiling again, and kissed him on his little face. Even if he was shot through the arm by a bullet, the resolute tough guy who took a sharp knife to cut through the skin and flesh and dig out the deformed warhead was full of tears at this time, especially at the moment when the two-and-a-half-year-old son held a soft little hand and tried to help his father wipe away his tears, the tough guy in the army burst into tears, and the tears slid down his cheeks and dripped on the child's delicate face, and then kissed by his father's kiss, leaving only a little tear stain of the father and son.
After hugging his wife into his arms and leaving a heavy kiss on the foreheads of his wife and son, Lan Guanhu resolutely turned around and chased after his team again.
Regardless of the cry of the son who began to cry again: "Old manγγγγγγ β
"Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband!" This sentence is extremely well said, but, at this moment, he can only choose to be ruthless. It's not to be a hero, but that he has no other choice.
In the north, the Japanese army has occupied Hebei, and the front of the army is directed at Shanxi, after Shanxi is Shaanxi, and after Shaanxi is Sichuan.
In the southeast, the Japanese army is still increasing troops in Songhu, and the headquarters has issued a military order, and the elite troops of the whole country have gathered in Songhu to fight the Japanese army in a national war. Otherwise, Songhu will be lost, and the capital will be in danger. If the capital dies, it will be Xuzhou Wuhan, and if Wuhan is lost, Sichuan will also be in danger.
Sichuan, located in the hinterland of southwest China, is no longer as safe as Mount Tai, the reputation of the land of abundance, and it is also the dream of the Japanese invaders. A few years ago, the commander of the regiment had already analyzed the direction of the Japanese army in the future after a full-scale invasion of China, and now almost all of them were in China.
His parents, his wife and children are all in Sichuan, if they can't drive the Japanese out of the country, perhaps, the next one to destroy his family and clan will be his own family.
Not for anything else, just for his son's innocent smiling face to bloom under this blue sky, as a father, he has to earn this right for his son.
Although he died, he had no regrets.
The expedition of the independent regiment, accompanied by the standing figures of the left-behind comrades-in-arms, and the eager send-off eyes of the old folks of Guangyuan, sat on the three jumpers, roared all the way, and went north along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway.
Yes, the Guangyuan Independent Regiment, which had been divided into the sequence of the 22nd Group Army under Deng Xihou, as the vanguard of the 22nd Group Army, would enter Shaanxi, Shanxi, and go north to resist Japan. Liu Lang failed to go to Songhu, where he wanted to go.
The Northern Sichuan Security Regiment was incorporated into the 23rd Group Army led by Liu Xiang and set off from Shancheng, went down the river, and went straight to Xiaguan in Nanjing, where they would wait for the military orders of the headquarters to see when they would enter the Songhu battlefield, which was becoming more and more fierce.
The Northern Sichuan Security Regiment was appointed by Liu Xiang as the Guard Regiment of the 23rd Group Army and became the guard unit of the 23rd Group Army.
Not only Tang Yongming's Northern Sichuan Security Regiment and the 23rd Group Army went down the river, but also the independent regimental naval company, which already had five all-steel gunboats, was requisitioned by Liu Xiang at the same time. Lieutenant Comet will take her 120-man naval company, which she has been training for more than two years, and five of the latest gunboats, which were independently financed by Sichuan Province and purchased from the BPB Company of the Empire on which the sun never sets, with the 23rd Group Army, down the river and heading straight to the capital.
On the one hand, it is necessary to escort the army, and on the other hand, it is necessary to participate in the war. The five 55-ton all-steel gunboats imported from abroad used by the Navy Company are already the strongest water combat power that the whole province of Sichuan can obtain.
Although the gunboat, which is 21.8 meters long and 6.27 meters wide and has a displacement of 55 tons, was named "Sichuan" class by Liu Lang, although it was not equipped with torpedoes because of its hasty design, it became a dual-purpose gunboat and torpedo boat, but one 40-mm gun in the stern, two twin 20-mm machine guns in the stern, and four 7.7-mm twin machine guns have given the gunboat good firepower.
Liu Lang even installed a rocket launcher with 4 tubes and a total of 8 tubes on the stern of the ship after testing, as the last killer weapon of the gunboat, at the last critical moment, 8 18kg rockets fired in a salvo, once hit, it was enough to tear all the creatures on the deck of a cruiser apart, even if it did not have a particularly strong armor-piercing ability.
The little soldier who was galloping towards Shanxi on the three jumpers did not know that he hoped that the girl who was waiting for him to come back at the base to marry would also set foot on the front line of resistance against Japan.
A young man and a woman, from today on, are not thousands of miles apart, but thousands of miles.
One, on the front line in northern China, and the other on the meat grinder battlefield in southeast China.
And the girl he likes has to face a battlefield environment that is much more cruel and bloody than the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese Fifth Division that he is about to face.
