Chapter 707: Old Acquaintances
After Yang Ling had arranged everything in the regiment, the three of them packed up their salutes and prepared to leave Changsha to report to the Nanyue guerrilla cadre training class.
Liu Yidao and their brothers made a table of good dishes the night before, and practiced for Yang Ling and them, and before dawn the next day, Yang Ling and they got up and prepared to leave.
"Tuanza, you take care all the way, if the money is not enough to spend, send a letter to the group, and I will send someone to send it over." Liu Yidao and the others also got up early to see them off.
Seeing these old brothers, Yang Ling was also relieved, and asked again: "In the past few months since I was away, you have taken care of your family, and if you encounter something that cannot be solved, discuss it more......
"Yes!" Liu Yidao, they all agreed to come down.
Since the Battle of Songhu, these people have been fighting with little devils together in a rain of bullets, and the feelings of life and death are incomprehensible to others.
"Alright, let's all go back."
Although they were reluctant and not at ease, but when they always had to be on their own, Yang Ling and the others climbed into the car that came to pick them up, waved at Liu Yidao, and left.
Under the eyes of Liu Yidao, the car kicked up smoke and dust, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
There were more than 10 people selected by the 74th Army to be sent to the Nanyue guerrilla cadre training class, and after Yang Ling and the others met in the division, they went all the way south and went straight to their destination by car.
The condition of the highway was not very good, and many sections of the road were blown up by planes bombed by the little devils who had penetrated deep into Hunan, and Yang Ling and his men stopped and stopped until they arrived at Nanyue Town on 10 February.
The site of the guerrilla cadre training school was set up in the Bible school previously run by the Americans in Nanyue Town, but the school capacity was limited, and the Nanyue Temple and the Huangting Temple were temporarily requisitioned and used as classrooms.
In early spring, Nanyue Town is still bleak and bleak as far as the eye can see, but because there will be a training class here, there are already troops on the periphery responsible for guarding it.
Along the way, many roadblocks were set up for checking, and four antiaircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were also erected on the hill at the commanding heights to defend the air and be heavily guarded.
After all, many of the people who were able to come here to participate in the training class were colonel-level officers, and they could be regarded as the elite of the troops, and if they were made bad by the little devils, they would definitely cause unnecessary losses.
Because Yang Ling and the others had a letter of recommendation from the war zone, they easily passed through various checkpoints along the way and arrived at the school smoothly.
The entire Nanyue Town is already very lively, and the trainees of the various units who arrived here in advance and the traders who rushed to hear the news have made this place bustling and unusually prosperous.
Because the school year was set for February 15th, most of the students who arrived early had nothing to do and were wandering around.
The small traders and peddlers also knew that most of the people who came here for training were colonel-level officers, and they knew that they were not short of money, so they all shouted and peddled some strange gadgets, and the sound of bargaining filled the streets and alleys.
"Hey, I thought it was a place where birds don't, but I didn't expect it to be even more lively than our station."
When Wang Huzi saw the lively town, he also smiled.
Yang Ling also repeatedly instructed Wang Huzi and the blacksmith: "When we go out, it's no better than in our regiment, all the officers who come here are colonel-level officers, don't make trouble and be expelled from school, it will be a shame." ”
"Yes!" Seeing those lieutenant colonels and colonels, Wang Huzi also restrained their minds.
Although he was a colonel, Wang Huzi and the blacksmith were both majors, and after just getting out of the car, Yang Ling saw at least a dozen colonel officers.
In their regiment, the colonel-level officer is the commander, but here, it is not worth anything at all, so it has to be low-key.
After inquiry, Yang Ling and the others found the place where the report was reported, and handed over their letters of recommendation and proof of identity.
The receptionist was also very polite, and they quickly handled the student ID card and received the slip for the quilt for Yang Ling.
"Your dwelling is in the second room of the third courtyard over there, and you will go there to get it with a slip." The receptionist gave Yang Ling and pointed to the houses not far away.
"Thank you." Yang Ling thanked them, and then they went to receive the quilt and look for a place to live.
After all, there were more than 1,000 trainees in the first phase of the guerrilla cadre training course, and with the addition of instructors, there were quite a few guards in the garrison, so they could only vacate some of the people's houses.
Yang Ling and the others had a tiring journey, and after receiving the quilt, they directly followed the guidance into the courtyard of the residence.
The yard is not very big, but it is clean, and a few plum trees and a well make the whole yard look clean.
Although the brick structure of the house was daytime, the light was not very good, Yang Ling and they pushed the door in, and found that someone had already lived in the house, sleeping with their heads covered.
Perhaps the sound of the door opening alarmed the sleeper, and he lifted the quilt and poked his head out.
"Hey, Brother Yang, why are you here?" Seeing Yang Ling and the three of them, the sleeping man screamed in surprise.
Yang Ling also recognized it, isn't this Zhao Wenbin, who once fought side by side, and later went to the gendarmerie as a battalion commander.
"It seems that we are really fate, we can all meet here." Yang Ling was also in a good mood when he saw his old acquaintances.
Zhao Wenbin also got up, walked to the table and poured water for Yang Ling and them: "It's not, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year." ”
The old acquaintances naturally had a warm greeting when they met, chatting about their own experiences, and hearing Yang Ling's danger in the battle of Wanjialing, Zhao Wenbin was also embarrassed.
"I only saw in the newspaper that you won the battle, and everyone was very excited, thinking that Fa'er wanted to transfer to your 74th Army, but I never thought that you would pay so many casualties."
The 74th Army became famous in the Battle of Wanjialing, and the Military Commission naturally hyped up the propaganda, but when it was publicizing, it reported good news and did not report bad news, and as for the casualties, it did not mention a word.
"The little devil knew that he was about to finish, so when he broke through, he also went crazy, and he charged at our Changling position no less than fifteen times in a day, almost just after fighting, and another wave came up again, and he had never fought such a dangerous battle in his life......" Wang Huzi and they also added on the side.
The blacksmith said viciously: "But no matter how fierce they attack and how fierce they are, they are still wiped out by us!" ”
"That's the same, but the little devils have also suffered a big loss this time, I'm afraid they won't give up." Zhao Wenbin's face was full of worry.
Yang Ling was relieved on the side: "Don't worry, the little devil is now on a long front, and our brothers have also grown up in a year of bloody battles, and if the little devil wants to fight, I'm afraid he won't be able to take any advantage." ”
Yang Ling and the others chatted and cleaned up the bed, the conditions here are very simple, the bed is not alone, but a bunk composed of large wooden planks nailed together, in addition, there are only a few tables left in the room.
However, Yang Ling and they often eat and sleep on the battlefield, and now the country is difficult, and there are not so many requirements, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is very good.
"Let's go, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go out and have a good drink and talk while drinking." Zhao Wenbin warmly invited Yang Ling and them out for a drink: "I know a restaurant on the street, it tastes good. ”
Zhao Wenbin came earlier than Yang Ling, so he was naturally familiar with Nanyue Town, and Yang Ling and they were also idle, closed the door, and followed Zhao Wenbin to the street, ready to familiarize themselves with the local situation.
