Yang Ling and his old brothers gathered at the regiment headquarters to spend a lively New Year, and Liu Yidao and others were all drunk.

"I arranged for them to stay at the regiment headquarters, and then go back when they sobered up."

Although Yang Ling also drank a lot of drunkenness, he felt that it was almost over, so he didn't drink anymore, and when he saw the officers who were drunk in the past, he waved his hand and asked the guards to help them to rest.

After going out and washing his face with cold water next to the old well in the yard, Yang Ling also felt a lot sober.

"Tuanza, it's cold outside, put on your clothes."

Huzi saw that Yang Ling arrived in the courtyard in a single coat, and hurriedly sent out the tweed army coat.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yang Ling took the clothes and put them on, and asked Huzi with a smile.

Huzi was also in a good mood, and replied with a smile: "After eating, I ate a big bowl of braised pork stewed for us by the old squad leader." ”

The troops were stationed in Changsha to rest and recuperate, and they were not as full and hungry as they were on the front line, and the quality of life was obviously improved.

"Let's go to the camp down there." Yang Ling was also fine, and went out with Huzi in tow.

The three battalions of the regiment and the troops directly under the regiment were stationed in villages not far from each other, and after walking through the fields with withered grass and trees, they soon arrived at the station of the first battalion.

"Happy New Year, Tuanza!"

The sentry standing in the cold wind saw Yang Ling and several guards coming over, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Although the regiment is celebrating the New Year, this sentry is not the slightest slack, Yang Ling also nodded with satisfaction, the brothers have grown up.

"Have you eaten, is it cold?" Yang Ling also stopped and greeted the sentinel.

"Report the group seat, I have eaten, I am warm, not cold!"

After this period of recuperation, the brothers recovered their spirits, and the loud voice of the sentry even shook the majesty of the ace army.

"Okay, keep standing guard!" Yang Ling's heart is also becoming more and more satisfied.

"Yes!" The sentry watched Yang Ling enter the village, and turned around again and entered a state of alert.

The people in the village are hanging red lanterns, and children in cotton are chasing and playing in the village, and the whole village is also filled with a lively atmosphere.

"Uncle, Happy New Year." Seeing an old man sitting in front of the door smoking, Yang Ling smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

"Okay, okay, I'm here, come in and sit down." When the old man saw Yang Ling coming, he warmly beckoned Yang Ling into the house to sit.

"No, I still have to go to the camp, and I'll come back next time." Yang Ling politely declined the old man's warm invitation.

The people of Hunan are simple and simple, and the people have made great efforts in several battles of Changsha, and they have also contributed to the victory of the battle.

Since the 74th Army was stationed in Changsha, it has also strictly restricted military discipline, whether it is fighting fires and providing disaster relief in the city or training in the suburbs, and the relationship with the villagers is also very harmonious.

Yang Ling walked in the village, and the children were all running around him with a smile, not afraid of him at all.

The villagers also had a good impression of Yang Ling, the commander who strictly restrained his subordinates, and were very enthusiastic, and they took out some snacks to give to Yang Ling, which made Yang Ling very embarrassed.

The battalion headquarters of the first battalion is in the village, and the deputy battalion commander Jiao Chaoming is directing a group of big men in the battalion headquarters to be busy making dumplings, so it is not lively.

"Tuanza, the dumplings are all brothers from the Northeast, you have to stay for dinner and taste the taste of the Northeast dumplings."

Seeing Yang Ling coming, the brothers' interest was even higher, and they all wanted to leave Yang Ling to eat in the first camp.

"I still have to go to the second and third camps to have a look, if I stay in your first camp to eat dumplings, wouldn't it be favoritism, and I will be satisfied if you big guys eat well." Yang Ling also explained with a smile.

"Hurry up and go to the next bowl of dumplings, let the group eat before leaving." Jiao Chaoming was unrelenting, and insisted that Yang Ling try the dumplings they made.

Yang Ling couldn't help it, so he had to wait for them to cook the dumplings and eat them, and then he went to the second camp to visit the brothers.

The brothers didn't expect that Yang Ling, the Grand Master, would still remember them during the New Year's Festival, and they were still walking around the camps, and they were all very happy.

The dumplings eaten in the first battalion, the second battalion drank wine, and the dinner was left by Su Er in the third battalion.

"Brothers, drink this wine, and let us work together for greater victory in the coming year! Cheers to victory! ”

"Good! For victory! The brothers raised their bowls one after another, and they were full of pride.

There is a small treasury in the regiment, and in this New Year in Changsha, the brothers have a very prosperous life, which can be regarded as a reward for a year's struggle.

The regiment was celebrating the New Year in a lively and lively manner, Yang Ling went around the camps, and after making simple arrangements for the things in the regiment, he went straight to the hospital to find Zhang Hongying at dawn the next day.

The family and country have fallen, the enemy has not been destroyed, although as a soldier, he must shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country, and he should not have a relationship with children, but after all, people have feelings, Zhang Hongying has done so much for Yang Ling, and Yang Ling, who is celebrating the New Year, does not want Zhang Hongying to be a lonely person.

"Why are you here?" As soon as Zhang Hongying returned to the house after checking the hospital bed, she saw Yang Ling appearing at the door with a large bag of things, and she was surprised but moved.

"Why, I'm not welcome here?" Looking at Zhang Hongying's surprised expression, Yang Ling also smiled and teased.

Zhang Hongying pursed her mouth and said with a smile: "You are the Grand Master, how dare I not welcome it." ”

"Guess what good food I brought you?" Yang Ling walked into the house and said mysteriously.

"Wow, it's millet cake!"

When she saw the wrapped millet cake, Zhang Hongying cheered like a child.

Seeing the excited Zhang Hongying, Yang Ling's eyes were slowly full of love, if it weren't for the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country now, he would definitely marry Zhang Hongying and go home to farm and live a comfortable life.

In the New Year, he heard the New Year's speech delivered by the chairman of the National People's Congress on the radio, although he said it impassionedly, and it seemed that the little devils would soon be driven out of China, but Yang Ling also knew that the most difficult year had not yet come.

In this New Year, even the menacing little devils rarely stopped, allowing Yang Ling and them to have a good year.

However, the little devils were not idle, the 106th Division suffered a devastating blow in Wanjialing, and took advantage of the winter to rest, the 11th Army Headquarters rebuilt and retrained it, and further strengthened its firepower.

Okamura Ninji's 11th Army suffered a heavy loss in China's Ninth Theater on the southern front battlefield of the Battle of Wuhan, and naturally it was not reconciled, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese military and civilians to celebrate the New Year, and sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to the Jiuling Mountains, Xiushui River, and the vicinity of Nanchang to reconnoitre.

And soon formulated a new battle plan, that is, it was hoped that in early March, seven divisions and two mixed brigades under the command of the 11th Army would be dispatched, and part of the naval and air force forces would cooperate to capture Nanchang, cut off the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and cut off the connection between the Chinese troops in Jiangnan, Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province.
