Chapter 118: The Eve of the Great War (2)
A mosquito-like humming sound came from the sky, and Huo Yuan, who was silent, looked up at the same time as the scar battalion commander. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the sky is bright and blue, but you can clearly see that there is a small black dot hovering in the distant sky, and the black dot is like a defect formed by drops of ink in a pure painting, which makes people want to get rid of it quickly.
It was a Japanese reconnaissance plane.
"I can't wait to take this dog day down with one shot." Battalion Commander Scar looked at the plane and gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
Huo Yuan didn't say anything, which Chinese didn't want to knock it down, but with what? Made in Hanyang? Or a barge gun? Joke!
"Brigade, I feel that there have been more and more movements of little devils recently, when can we take the initiative and engage in little devils for a while?" Battalion Commander Scar continued.
"yes, I'm afraid it's a big battle coming." Huo Yuan looked at the blue sky and said thoughtfully.
The sky in China is so clear, but the little black dot from the East is patrolling it proudly as if it is in his own back garden, which makes Huo Yuan feel like a man on his back and like a fish in his throat.
"But, alas, I received a notice from the division headquarters just now that I want to have a goodwill party with the little devil in a few days." Huo Yuan continued.
"Goodwill party? What does it mean? The little devils occupy our Chinese territory, bully our Chinese people, and still want to be friendly with them?! Camp Commander Scar was both shocked and angry.
Huo Yuan certainly understood the anger of the Scar Battalion Commander, but as Scar's Peak Commander, it was not appropriate for him to express his position anymore, although he was as angry as Scar when he first received this notice:
A group of robbers who are holding fire and fighting openly go to other people's houses to burn and kill and plunder, but they still want to say that we are here to share prosperity and friendship with you, and we who are bullied as masters still have to say, okay, I invite you to drink, it is really ridiculous!
Because Huo Yuan was a higher level, he naturally had a deeper understanding of the overall situation, and he understood that the complexity of the war and the situation was not something that those lower-level officers and soldiers who were simple-minded and enthusiastic about resisting Japan could consider.
Speaking from his heart, he wanted to drive the Japanese devils out of North China at all costs, drive them out of the Northeast, and drive them to the sea to feed the turtles, but as a senior officer, he had to consider the attitude of the peak.
At a meeting of senior officers of the 29 th Army, Commander Song Zheyuan, who was at the helm of the 19 th Army, stressed that he should only respond to the battle and not challenge.
This attitude is undoubtedly ambiguous, that is, acquiescing in the resistance against Japan, but in practice, it always adopts an attitude of tolerance and compromise towards the devils.
As for whether Song Zheyuan's attitude represented the meaning of the Nationalist government, which was accustomed to compromising and conceding to the Japanese, Huo Yuan had no way to guess.
But if he empathized from Song Zheyuan's point of view, Huo Yuan still understood the hardships of this military commander:
As a miscellaneous army, it is not easy to have a piece of territory of its own in the Pingjin area, and the acquisition of this territory is because in the Double 12 Incident, the army commander Song Zheyuan stood on the right side, advocating a peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident and ensuring the safety of the chairman, so Chairman Jiang reciprocated the favor and gave the Northwest Army such a piece of territory.
But at this time and that time, the CCP will be suppressed, and the miscellaneous army will go first! Anti-Japanese, the miscellaneous army goes first!
How many miscellaneous armies have learned from the past, the troops fought the front line, and in the end they ended up with nothing to lose!
Even if Chairman Chiang wanted to resist Japan, how could his habitual practice of excluding dissidents make the troops of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army have no worries!
No way, up and down are not single-minded!
It's just that the little devil will be less content if he comes from the other side of the ocean with open fire, Fengtai has been occupied, Beiping City is already surrounded by the Japanese army on three sides, and there is only one exit left from Wanping City......
As Huo Yuan's confidant, the battalion commander of Scar still knows Huo Yuan's thoughts more or less, and he also understands that within the 29th Army, the army commander has an ambiguous attitude, and there are anti-Japanese factions like Huo Yuan among the superior officers, and there are also some compromisers who live corrupt lives and show favor to the Japanese.
However, junior officers and soldiers like themselves are adhering to the anti-Japanese tradition, living a simple life, training hard, and preparing for confrontation.
"You haven't been home for a few days, I don't know what your young master learned in the military academy." The scar battalion commander also understood Huo Yuan's dilemma, so he changed the topic at the right time.
"Hehe, it's not bad, I used a bayonet to practice stabbing and compared the veterans of the 74th Army." As soon as Huo Yuan heard the scar battalion commander talk about his son, his originally somewhat cold face immediately turned cloudy and clear.
Huo Xiaoshan wrote to tell him about this.
The scar battalion commander smiled secretly, not only him, but all the soldiers under Huo Yuan knew that the regiment commander must like Yan Kai when he mentioned his son.
Last time, there was a company commander who made a mistake because he owed the people a chicken money, and Huo Yuan wanted to lock him up.
Huo Yuan finally turned his anger into laughter, but he just kicked the company commander in the ass and let him not take an example.
I don't know what Zijun and his son are doing at this time, Huo Yuan thought.
And at this moment, thousands of miles away in the city of Nanjing.
In the small building where Song Zijun lived, there was a conversation in the dining room.
But what was spoken was Japanese, and it was Huo Xiaoshan who spoke, Murong Pei listened with a smile on the side, but the person opposite Huo Xiaoshan was Shen Chong.
Huo Xiaoshan already spoke Japanese fluently, which naturally benefited from the two teachers, Murong Pei and Shen Chong.
Needless to say, Murong Pei's level is also Japanese, so Shen Chong's mother can speak Japanese since she was a child.
Due to the abundant study time, Huo Xiaoshan's Japanese level finally got rid of the half-baked level on the road from the northeast to Nanjing, and his speaking and listening have made great progress, and he can already have a large conversation with Shen Chong and Murong Pei in Japanese.
The three of you are talking to me very lively.
"What kind of Japanese do you want to learn in a good way?" Sister-in-law Li, who served the dishes, said.
"It's convenient to fight devils in the future." Murong Pei replied crisply.
"I know how to fight devils every day, and I don't read anymore." Sister-in-law Li's point of view is naturally that of the old man.
"How can you do it if you don't fight devils, the three eastern provinces have been lost, and now the little devils are fighting bad ideas in North China." Huo Xiaoshan explained, but he was thinking in his heart, reading the newspaper that the enemy situation in the Pingjin area was tense, and he didn't know if this battle would start, when it would start, and when he would be able to go to the front line of resistance against Japan.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't know at this time that his father Huo Yuan was also thinking about fighting devils at this time, in the dark, father and son were thousands of miles apart but thinking about the same thing, the so-called father and son were concentric. (To be continued.) )
