The wheels of the military train and the rails made a crisp clanging sound, and countless villages, towns, mountains and rivers that were addicted to the darkness quickly disappeared from view with the roar of the train. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A flickering lantern hung from the wall of the stuffy carriage, and the dim light reflected the haggard faces of the brothers.

They received orders from their superiors to move from the Bengbu area to the vicinity of Wuhan, Hubei Province for training, but at this moment the curtain of the Battle of Xuzhou had been opened, and the road was crowded with fleeing civilians and troops heading to the front.

Most of the railway bridges were blown up by Japanese planes, and it took them a week to stop and stop on the road before they boarded the military train bound for Wuhan.

Yang Ling's regimental headquarters and the special agent company directly under the regimental headquarters were crammed into the same stuffy carriage, and it was really not comfortable in this carriage with only some hay, and besides, the brothers packed the carriage to the brim, and the turbid air could suffocate people.

The brothers stayed in the carriage for two days, and although the train stopped many times along the way, the superiors ordered that they should not get out of the carriage and that the doors of the carriage should not be opened.

For two days, the brethren relied on a few wooden barrels that had been placed in the carriage in advance, and the stench that was now mixed with the sweat of the brethren was really unpleasant.

Although the cold wind came through the cracks in the carriage from time to time, Yang Ling still felt like a fish about to suffocate, and prayed in his heart that the military train would arrive at the station sooner.

Qin Shou, the commander of the special agent company directly under the regiment, pouted his ass and looked out of the gap from time to time, except for those black shadows that were rapidly retreating, he couldn't see anything.

"Old Qin, can you see where you are?"

The deputy battalion commander rolled the tobacco leaves and stuffed them into the cigarette holder, polished the match, lit the cigarette, shook the match vigorously, took a deep puff of dry tobacco, and turned his head to ask Qin Shou.

Qin Shou took his eyes off the gap and sat down against the cold iron sheet again: "It's pitch black outside, you can't see anything, who knows where you go."

It's really torture to ride in this stuffy tanker, you have to stay inside from the time you get on the bus to the time you get off, you don't know anything about the outside, it's boring and boring, you can only watch the sky light and dark outside.

Many of the brothers were on the military train for the first time, shouting excitedly at first, but they could only become shrug for the day, eager to reach the terminal immediately.

Yang Ling was wrapped in a military blanket and fell asleep in the rhythmic friction of the wheels and rails.

When Yang Ling woke up again, the outside was already slightly bright, and through the gap in the carriage, he could clearly see the gray tiled houses on both sides of the railway, both scattered alone in the fields, and also connected into patches, which seemed particularly quiet in the early morning when it was not yet bright.

The flames of war on the front line were once again burning, and the silence and serenity of this place were something that the brothers had not seen for a long time, giving them the illusion that they were suddenly separated from each other.

The train slowed down, eventually turned into a slide, and finally stopped at a station with countless straw huts, and the brethren all woke up, scrambling to see through the cracks to see what was going on outside.

"Where is this? Are we there? ”

"I can't see clearly, but there are quite a lot of people."

The brothers came back to life, chattering and talking.

"Everyone get out of the car and assemble! The battalion commanders of each regiment went to the platform to listen to orders! ”

The herald's voice came to my ears from a distance, and then it became clearer and clearer.

"We're here, we're here."

"It's really a sin to finally be free."

Watching the herald rush past the carriage shouting, the brethren's haggard faces showed smiles, and they wanted to jump off the train immediately, they never wanted to take this so-called train again in their lives.

Yang Ling also packed up his things and stood up, and ordered: "Everyone pack up their weapons and equipment, and prepare to get out of the car and gather!"

With a bang, the iron door of the carriage was opened, and a cold air with a clean fragrance poured into the carriage, dispelling the turbid air in the carriage, Yang Ling took a deep breath and suddenly felt refreshed.

He jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and shouted to the brothers who were jumping down in a mess: "All the company platoon commanders take care of their brethren and assemble on the spot!" Don't run around! ”

"Three battalions and one company gather here!" Captain Company Commander Wang shouted violently.

"The first battalion and the second company are here!"

……

The brothers also learned a lot of things during the training in the Bengbu area, and the voices of the platoon commanders soon rang out one after another, and they began to gather and reorganize their brothers.

Yang Ling saw that these officers quickly entered the role, he took the first battalion commander Lu Xing, and the second battalion commander Chen Ming immediately ran to the platform to receive the order.

On the platform, there were not only refugees dragging their families and mouths, but also troops wearing various military uniforms, and it was a mess and noisy, and Yang Ling and the two battalion commanders finally managed to squeeze out a passage.

"Brother Yang, here." Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, also returned from injury, and when he saw Yang Ling crowded in the crowd, he raised his arms and waved to him.

Yang Ling strode to Zhang Lingfu, although they both belonged to the 51st Division, but Zhang Lingfu and they had been recuperating in the hospital, so as soon as Nanjing was goodbye, Yang Ling did not see Zhang Lingfu again.

Yang Ling stood next to Zhang Lingfu, the two exchanged a few words, and Qiu Weida, the commander of the 306th Regiment, also squeezed over from the crowd with three battalion commanders.

"Damn, it's finally here." Qiu Weida is thin, but his eyes are shining, which makes people dare not underestimate him.

"Come, Brother Yang, let me introduce you, this is Qiu Weida, the commander of the 306th Regiment."

The battle for the defense of Nanjing was fierce, the four regiment commanders under the 51st Division were all seriously injured, they were all heroes, Yang Ling admired them very much, Yang Ling hurriedly and politely stretched out his hand, introduced himself and said: "Hello Regiment Commander Qiu, I am Yang Ling, the acting deputy head of the 301st Regiment."

Qiu Weida also shook hands with Yang Ling politely, his big hands were powerful, and he said with a smile: "But Deputy Head Yang who won the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun in Jiangyin?"

Zhang Lingfu also said on the side: "Lao Qiu, Brother Yang is not a young master in vain, when he was in Chunhua Town, Nanjing, if he hadn't pulled his brother, my brother's position would have been broken through by the devil."

Qiu Weida heard Zhang Lingfu's praise, and looked up to Yang Ling a little more, and said with a joke: "Brother Yang, I will be in trouble in the future, brother, you can't see death and not save it, haha."

"If there really is such a day, I, Yang Ling, will naturally not sit idly by......" Yang Ling also replied with a smile.

"What are you talking about, why are you so happy?" Ji Hongru, the commander of the 302nd Regiment, also walked over with a smile.

"Lao Ji, you have been promoted to the head of the regiment, you have to invite us to drink." Qiu Weida had a bold temperament, and when he saw Ji Hongru coming over, he hurriedly begged for wine.

Ji Hongru was originally the deputy commander of the 301st Regiment, and during the defense of Nanjing, he was the acting commander of the 301st Regiment and the Japanese army, and was seriously wounded in a bloody battle.

Several regiment commanders greeted each other and joked from time to time, and most of the battalion commanders who followed also knew each other and got together to talk and laugh.

Soon, Zhou Zhidao, commander of the 151st Brigade, and Li Tianxia, commander of the 153rd Brigade, embraced Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division, and strode over.

Wang Yaowu governed the army strictly, and most of the regimental and battalion commanders did not dare to be presumptuous, so they hurriedly stood and saluted.
