Chapter 864: Hu Bin's guilt
864
When Hu Bin saw Zhenguo come in, he handed him a letter that Li Wanru had written for him, and Hu Bin took it.
"Brother Bin, I really want to go to the front line with you!" Zhenguo stood there and didn't leave, looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Go close the door." Hu Bin said to Zhenguo, Li Wanru's letter, Hu Bin put it in his hand first.
"Hey!" When Zhenguo heard Hu Bin say this, he knew that he must have something else to say to himself, so he immediately went over and closed the door.
"There were a lot of people out there just now, and there were some things I couldn't say, but I'm telling you, you really can't go to the army, you know? In the future, it is not a world of soldiers, we soldiers, only when the country is in danger, the people will think of us, and most of the time, they are unknown.
If you go to the army, I dare to say, you will regret it, because in the army, you can't learn things, but in the locality, you can really learn things, in order to develop for a long time, maybe in a few years, the country has no war, I may have to come out of the army.
You said, you came out with me at that time, what advantages can you have, and now you go to a small town to take charge of things, and develop the economy, education, and people's livelihood of this town, then in a few years, you may be able to manage a county, how good is this?
In fact, managing a place is really difficult, not as simple as you think, especially now, the country is very poor, the people are even poorer, you want to go to a place to develop the economy, the difficulty is very high, but what, you have a benefit, what benefit, that is, there is a commander to support you, and I can also help you come up with ideas, as long as you are really good to the people, then the people will definitely be able to support you.
In the army, you are really not suitable, it's not that I don't take you, I can see the head of your development in the army, at most to the brigade commander, you can't be promoted, at least before the age of 50, you can't be promoted to division commander, you have worked on a brigade commander for more than 20 years, will you do it? Hu Bin looked at Zhenguo and asked.
"More than 20 years, why?" Zhenguo looked at Hu Bin with wide eyes.
"Because you have no experience in commanding big battles, and now you are a small soldier, a small staff officer, you say, what do you know, those commanders who command big battles, and the regiment commanders, they are older than you, do they want to be promoted to division commander?
They have a lot more credit than you, why should you be on it? Isn't it, think about it yourself, there is no advantage in going to the army, you have an absolute advantage in going to the place, you know? Hu Bin looked at Hu Bin in a low voice and said.
"You, you didn't say that on purpose to go to the front, did you?" Zhenguo is still a little suspicious of Hu Bin's motives.
"You know a fart, if it was 3 years ago, you came back, and I took you with me, then I definitely hope that you will develop in the army, you look at Li Qinwei and them, Zhang Fan and them, they all have a lot of credit, they are going up, except for Li Qinwei, Huang Wenjin is already a division-level cadre, and the rest of the people will soon be able to reach the division-level cadre.
But you, too late, you know? To the troops is no longer suitable. You should go to the place, I really didn't cheat you, and if you go to the place, I will help you. Hu Bin looked at Zhenguo and said.
"Then, you must help me!" Zhenguo looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Nonsense, if you don't understand something, just write to me. I'll give you ideas. Hu Bin nodded and said.
"Okay, Brother Bin, let's read my sister-in-law's letter first, she misses you and worries about you, and now she is also in the communications department of the arsenal, and she is very happy to see the telegram you sent back occasionally!" Zhenguo stood up, looked at Hu Bin and said.
"Hey, see it, this is the sadness of being a soldier, especially as a soldier during the war years, you are not qualified to say love!" Hu Bin looked at Zhenguo and said with a sigh.
"Hey, hey, I'm leaving!" Zhenguo heard it, smiled, opened the door and left.
After he closed the door, Hu Bin opened the envelope and took out the stationery inside, and a familiar smell came from the surface, which made Hu Bin can't help but think of the good memories he had with Li Wanru.
After opening the letter, Hu Bin saw those familiar words, and couldn't help smiling on his face, Hu Bin looked at the letter for almost half an hour, the letter was actually not long, just a few hundred words, but Hu Bin read it, and he was in a daze.
"Hey!" After a long time, Hu Bin sighed, stood up, and prepared to sleep.
The next morning, after Hu Bin got up, he asked Mo Shot to find him an ordinary soldier's clothes, and then went to the commander's side with Mo Shot.
After making peace with the commander, Hu Bin sat in the back of the truck and followed the commander's guards to the airport, when he arrived at the airport, it was already half past seven in the morning, Hu Bin stood in the middle of the first few rows of guards, and there were Mo Shot them around, Hu Bin stood there with a gun, standing straight and straight.
At this time, the commander was waiting on the tarmac, just received a telegram, the transport plane will come soon, although it is very cold in Wuhan now, but all the soldiers who came here, including the people, are staring at the sky, many people in Hubei know that a large number of martyrs' ashes will be sent back today, and the people nearby have rushed over to send those soldiers who died fighting in a foreign country.
"It's coming, the plane is coming!" Soon, many people saw a large number of planes coming from the southwest, and the tower also contacted the plane, which was the plane transporting the ashes of the soldiers.
After about half an hour, the first transport plane began to descend, and then more transport planes descended and taxied towards the tarmac. When they got to the designated location, they stopped, and then the planes opened the doors behind them!
"Salute!" Li Tianxing shouted loudly beside the commander.
Hu Bin stood there, raised his gun, and saluted the martyrs.
At this time, the commander and deputy commander walked to the front, and the soldiers inside the plane came out with boxes of urns and put them on the table that had been prepared long ago.
The commander walked over, took over the military flag from the staff behind them, covered them with those urns, and more and more planes landed, and after landing, the officers at the airport, as long as they were division-level cadres, had to go over, cover each urn with a military flag, and if it was a party member, cover it with the party flag, and then let the other soldiers put it on the car that had already been prepared.
The plane escorted by the commander-in-chief was the last to land, and as the commander-in-chief of Yan'an, he had to see all the martyrs' souls return to their hometowns before they could come down.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the martyrs of the expeditionary force, all bring back, please instruct!" The commander-in-chief came to the commander-in-chief, raised his hand and saluted.
"Good work!" The commander raised his hand and saluted in return, and then the commander walked to a small platform in front of him, where he was going to give a speech welcoming the soldiers home.
And below, there are many reporters here, both domestic and foreign.
"All teammates, salute!" The commander stood there and shouted loudly, at which point Hu Bin and the others raised their guns again, and the Chinese reporters all bowed to the rows of vehicles containing the ashes of the martyrs.
Almost a minute later, the commander shouted again: "Finish! Hu Bin and the others were holding their weapons normally, and the reporters also stood up.
"Soldiers, comrades, friends, our Chinese Expeditionary Force set out in April this year, and it has been nine months now, during which our Chinese Expeditionary Force has fought bravely abroad, not only removing the threat from the southwest of our country, but also beating out the Japanese invaders entrenched in Southeast Asia.
The officers and men of our Northern Front Expeditionary Force, under the command of Commander Hu Bin, killed more than 300,000 Japanese troops and captured more than 400,000 prisoners at the cost of more than 130,000 casualties; this is the merit of our Northern Front Expeditionary Force, the merit of our Chinese Expeditionary Force, the merit of our anti-Japanese contingent throughout the country, and even more the merit of our Chinese people. Soldiers, comrades, friends, today," the commander said from the small platform.
And Hu Bin has been staring at those vehicles, feeling very guilty, the military flags of these soldiers, he was going to go over to cover them, but not now, he is now a patient to the outside world, and he can't appear on such an occasion, Hu Bin looked at those vehicles, and felt very guilty.
Mo Jie next to him found that Hu Bin had been staring over there, and sighed in his heart, he knew that this was a huge regret for Hu Bin, and he couldn't put a military flag on those soldiers, for Hu Bin, it was a debt and a regret.
The commander spoke on it for more than 10 minutes, and then ordered the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers to be sent to the martyrs' cemetery, and Yan'an decided to establish a martyr's cemetery on several barren mountains northeast of Jingmen. However, in the past few days, the ashes of those martyrs will be placed in several houses in the martyrs' cemetery first, so that the families of those martyrs can mourn.
Hu Bin stood there, watching the cars leave the airport.
"Brother Bin, I'm leaving!" Mo Shot reminded Hu Bin beside him, Hu Bin nodded, and began to retreat with the entire guard force, and when he arrived at the headquarters, Hu Bin broke away from the troops.
Until about 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Bin called Mo to shoot them, as well as his own guard troops, with liquor and worship items, and drove in the direction of the martyr's cemetery.
"Brothers, I'm sorry I can't put a military flag on you personally!" Hu Bin muttered.
"Brother Bin!" Mo Jie shouted next to him.
Hu Bin closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "Burn some money for the brothers, the brothers have just come back, there may be no money to spend, and then let's have a few more drinks with the brothers!" (To be continued.) )
