Chapter 14: Advanced (14)

After being a soldier for a long time, it is difficult to sleep lazily, especially in the barracks. Mo Enemy and his gang drank until three o'clock in the second half of the night last night, returned to the 95th Division headquarters guest house to sleep, and the next morning, as soon as the wake-up horn sounded, they immediately reflexively jumped out of bed. When I walked outside the door, I found that in the entire courtyard, only Mo Di and Yang Hanlie were wearing civilian clothes. Casual leather shoes were not suitable for exercises, so the two had to stand under the eaves and feel the atmosphere of the barracks.

Feeling the people around him get up, Zhou Shiming also opened his eyes, in late April, the sky gradually dawned early, and when the wake-up horn sounded, it was no longer the cold winter that he couldn't see his fingers, but the dawn gradually penetrated the morning glow. cleaned up and put on a set of cheongsams with embroidered edges, and Zhou Shiming also walked out of the guest house.

"Come on, come on, introduce, this is your sister-in-law and my wife, Zhou Shiming." Mo Di said to Yang Hanlie.

Yang Hanlie glanced at Zhou Shiming, this sister-in-law is very young, not very beautiful, but very dignified, with a special smile on her face, very kind and close. He bowed lightly and said hello: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Yang Hanlie, and I am the little brother of Boss Mo." ”

"I heard of you in Jingdezhen, and the commander of the 147th Division, Xu Yuanxun, they all know that you and our brother Fu are good brothers." Zhou Shiming said: "In Jingdezhen Old Street, Brother Fu wrote a word, which was snatched away by Director Zhang of the 147th Division, saying that he would resell it to you. Brother Yang, don't be the director of the chapter, if you want Brother Fu to write, let him write it, no need to spend money. ”

Yang Hanlie laughed and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I remember." When the meeting arrives in Liling, I asked Boss Mo to write me ten paintings of eight and let them sell them to the bastards of the 21st Army. ”

The three of them chatted for a few words, and a middle-aged soldier with the rank of major general on his shoulders walked over, with an elegant face, full of literary quality, Lang Xing sword eyes, white face and beard, the most characteristic thing is that the left mouth is raised, and there is a little contempt in the elegance. Before he could speak, the visitor attracted Zhou Shiming's attention, only to hear Zhou Shiming say happily: "I know you, you are my fellow countryman, a native of Longhe, named Li Tang." Is that right? ”

"You know me?" The person who came was Li Tang, deputy commander of the 95th Division, a native of Longhe, Tongcheng, Anhui Province, he couldn't remember such a young woman in front of him in his memory, and what was even more strange was that this young woman looked at him with a very close gaze, just like a relative. Think again, and be sure, you shouldn't know yourself.

"There is a portrait of General Li hanging in our classroom, and after watching it for two years, I have long remembered it." Zhou Shiming said with an expression like a primary school student seeing the object of his admiration: "My classmate, as well as the students of Qinglan Gong (Li Tang's father), is called Mr. Qinglan Gong's grandfather. ”

"Hehehehe." Li Tang laughed and said, "In this way, you are a junior, Li is not talented, you have to call a virtuous niece." ”

"Hello Uncle Li!" Zhou Shiming didn't say a word, he was deeply blessed, and shouted: "My classmates, if they knew that I could meet General Li Tang by chance, they would definitely die of envy." The portraits in our classroom are very well drawn, much like Uncle Lee, so I can recognize them at a glance. ”

"How can Li be able to hang a statue in the classroom and let the younger generations admire him, it is really scary." Li Tang sighed and said.

"In our Tongcheng Girls' High School, the portrait of the sages is hung in the classroom to spur the backwards, which has long been a tradition. Fan Zeng, Fang Yizhi, Yao Fan, Dai Mingshi, Liu Dazhu, Fang Bao, Yao Nai, Zeng Guofan, Zhang Ying, Zhang Tingyu, Zuo Guangdou, Yao Ying, Wu Mengxia, Fang Weiyi, Shi Congbin, etc. have long been on the wall. After the Anti-Japanese War, there were more Tongcheng people on the list of generals, I remember two, one is Shi Zhongcheng, and the other is Uncle Li. At this moment, Zhou Shiming was like a chattering little swallow, chattering non-stop.

Li Tang looked at Zhou Shiming with a look of affection, as if he was looking at his own descendants.

"Since Shi Ming calls Uncle Li, I must also call Uncle Li." Mo Di smiled and said, "Uncle Li is on top, Mo Di is polite." ”

Li Tang laughed and said: "Mo Tianzong is in Anqing, I have heard that Tongcheng will be stable for several years, thanks to the 48th Army, I thank you on behalf of the Tongcheng people who are in a foreign land." Tianzong has a good eye for a good wife, and has become my uncle in Tongcheng, and he has long been a family. ”

Li Tang told Mo Di that he received a telegram from the military headquarters early in the morning, and Luo Qi, the division commander and deputy army commander, accompanied the army commander Chen Pei to Shanggao to inspect the 140th Division, and specially arranged for himself to accompany Mo Di, and the most important thing was not to let the distinguished guest Yang Ergongzi find fault. Yang Hanlie smiled and said, "You are my sister-in-law's uncle, even if there is something wrong, I dare not say it." ”

Li Tang laughed, accompanied the three of them to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then went to the small courtyard of the military command to deal with the case.

It is very simple to deal with the closure of the case, Yang Hanlie signed a name on a piece of official paper, and it is completed. Mo Di asked Sun Pengju, there are still two bottles of wine on the train, I don't know where the brothers of the military commander took it down and put it? Only then did Sun Pengju remember that two bottles of wine had been forgotten on the train. Hurriedly asked what kind of wine it was, Mo Di said that it was the four special old wine in Linjiang Town. Sun Pengju asked Mo Di when he would leave Yichun, and Li Tang replied that after lunch, he would take the ticket bus from Linjiang to Pingxiang and leave, and then transfer to the ticket bus from Pingxiang to Zhuzhou. Yang Hanlie interjected and said that if you don't go to Zhuzhou, you will stay in Liling for three or five days first. Sun Pengju's face darkened, and he said that it was estimated that it was too late to pick up the old wine, so he could only ask Mo Di to leave an address in Guilin, and after he got the wine, he mailed it directly to Guilin. Mo Di left the address of his elder brother Mo Yongcun's grain and oil store, took the sixteen pistols in the south handed over by Sun Pengju, and turned to leave. This place, he didn't want to stay for a minute.

"Wait!" It was Major General Li Tang who spoke.

"What else does General Li command?" Sun Pengju usually has a good relationship with Li Tang, and said with a smile.

"I heard that yesterday you had a subordinate who was rude to my niece, is there such a thing?" Li Tang said with a gloomy face.

"Niece!" Sun Pengju gasped, why did he get into such a song again. I wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing, and said, "There is such a thing, but ......"

"It's none of your business, this kid, you can't make him feel better." Li Tang grinned. He had heard about Zhou Shiming's buttocks yesterday, and he had only heard about it at the time. However, early this morning, Zhou Shiming called Uncle Li twice, and the situation changed qualitatively, which can make people all over the world feel wronged, that is, General Li's Tongcheng niece cannot suffer. This field is inconvenient to find back, so he came to make a move.

"Sub-seat, sub-seat, sub-seat!" Sun Peng raised his hands and said again and again, saying, "That kid went out on duty early this morning and went to Linjiang, but he was not there. When he returns, I will punish him heavily, and I will plead guilty to the deputy. ”

"The punishment is your business, and there is no need to ask for sin. You tell him which hand touches it, cut it down and feed it to the dog. Li Tang's left lip curled, and he said with a hideous face: "If you don't cut off your hands, Lao Tzu will blow his head." ”

After coming out of the military command workstation, the group of three came to the guest house, and Zhou Shiming had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave. The commander of the 95th Division went out, and the division deputy was in charge, and Li Tang couldn't leave his post casually and wander around with them, so he had to ask the guards to send the invincible's luggage and belongings to the train station first, and then board the train directly and leave. Mo Di asked Yang Hanlie, don't you need to buy a ticket? Yang Hanlie shook his head and told Mo Di that the last carriage of the ticket car was specially used by the military and police, and as long as he showed his work permit, he could take the bus at any time. Of course, if the level is too low, you can't enjoy this treatment, unless you have a business trip certificate above the regiment level. Zhou Shiming asked, she doesn't have a work permit, can she sit? Yang Hanlie laughed and said, "If Boss Mo doesn't sit, let your sister-in-law sit on it." ”

Walking around the city of Yichun, although the Japanese planes have also visited, after all, the damage is not great, the city is intact, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The first to ascend is the Drum Tower, also known as the Yuanzhou Tower, which is the second year of the Southern Tang Dynasty Baoda, and was built by Liu Renzhan of the Thorn History. This is an observatory that integrates time-measuring, punctuality, and timing, and is equipped with uranium pots, leaky arrows, shadow watches, water and seas, Dingnan needles, changing chips, iron plates and other utensils on the drum tower, and setting up yin and yang students on duty and waiting for the time to be announced. Mo Di was very interested in these cultural relics and was very happy to see them. Both sides of the drum tower is Yichun is the prosperous place, yesterday walked through the drum tower, and today the drum tower is re-passed, the mood is different, the scenery in front of you is also completely different. The shops on both sides of the street have also become particularly lively, and the people who watch the shops seem to be more enthusiastic.

Head north to the edge of the show, and a pontoon bridge leads to the other side. In Jiangxi, the water is deep and the river is deep, and it is not easy to build bridges, so there are many pontoon bridges. The pontoon bridges in various places have their own characteristics and are very interesting. The Xinjiang pontoon bridge in Yingtan has a section of locks, and the Xiushui pontoon bridge in Yichun has an arch in the middle for ships to pass.

After seeing the pontoon, I went to Guishan Yichun Terrace and walked around. The Yichun platform established by Liu Cheng, the Marquis of Yichun in the Han Dynasty, has lasted for 2,000 years, which can be described as a long time. The pavilion on the platform has three floors, the palace style, the heavy eaves, the four tops, the glazed tile covers, the first floor is paved with marble floor, the corridor around is built with guardrails, the corridors on the second and third floors are all wooden columns, carved flower rails, doors and windows are hollow and carved. Take the stage and look into the distance, but see the sun rising in the sky, and the eaves are dyed gold. There was once a poem: "Higher than the millions of homes in Yuancheng, the towering building locks the smoke." "The Qing Dynasty Tan Ziyue has a couplet that can be called wonderful: it is suitable for poetry and painting, looking at such a country, it should be crowned the emperor; Spring should come to the end, after a few years of rise and fall, and build a high platform. For the poetry couplet, Mo Di has always been deeply in love, copying the calligraphy on the ancient couplet, but also let Mo Di linger. It wasn't until Yang Hanlie told him that the train was about to arrive at the station, so he hurried to the train station.

Zhou Shiming was still prescient, he bought a lot of food on Gulou East Street early, and when he opened it on the train, Mo Di felt that his stomach was already empty.

"It's all my fault, I'm fascinated when I see the words I like!" Mo Di said: "The Northern Soul (Yang Hanlie) brother is hungry." ”

"Nope." Yang Hanlie said: "You read the words there, my sister-in-law and I have been eating snacks, and the view on the Yichun Platform in Guishan is not bad, no worse than looking at your poetry couplets." ”

"So you've been eating, and I'm the only one hungry." Mo Di smiled: "I have to eat more." ”

"Don't eat too much." Yang Hanlie said: "The train arrived in Pingxiang in an hour and a half. It takes two hours in Pingxiang to catch the train to Zhuzhou, and an hour later to Liling. In Pingxiang, you can only find a restaurant to pass the time, so you don't have to be unable to eat at that time. Pingxiang's Yellow Eel Taijitu, crispy small river fish, shredded dog meat, smoked cured meat, warm a pot of lotus old winter wine, you will not find your tongue. ”

Hahahaha, Mo Di put down the half-eaten Artemisia Baba and asked Zhou Shiming to wrap it again, this thing can be packed, and the shredded dog meat can only be eaten now.

"I haven't seen you for four years, the North Soul has matured a lot, I think I was still an ignorant teenager when I was diving, and now I can stand alone." Mo Di said.

"In the past few years, I have been following my cousin Yang Hanyu in the 133rd Division, fighting from Hubei to Hunan, and from Hunan to Jiangxi. Yang Hanlie said.

"You're only twenty-four years old, you're already a major in interpretation, and then you're a real young general." Mo Di said: "I heard that in this battle of Changsha, you fought a vicious battle in Yingzhu Mountain, and the battle was thrilling. Yesterday, I heard General Luo Qi say that I thought you were the second son of the gentleman, but after this battle, no one dared to say that you were the prince lying on the merit book of the seniors. ”

Yang Hanlie nodded, and said with an unbearable expression: "In the battle of Shadow Pearl Mountain, I almost went to reincarnation, which is quite dangerous, if I hadn't fought a clever battle with you on the diving side, I knew that it was false to contain the opponent, and the actual move was to attack the opponent's weakness from the side, and I also adopted this combat method, otherwise I am afraid that the entire 20th Army will not escape the danger of annihilation." ”

It was January this year, and the third Battle of Changsha had entered its final conclusion. The Twentieth Army entered from Xiangyin under the leadership of Yang Hanyu, planning to encircle the Japanese troops who were surrounded in the Tianlu Battle Array. The headquarters of the 20th Army was set up in Yingzhu Mountain, the only mountain in the northwest of the battlefield, and at that time, the 133rd and 134th divisions were sent out, and only Yang Hanlie's cavalry company was available at the division headquarters. Unexpectedly, a Japanese army of more than 400 people suddenly attacked the military headquarters of the 20th Army in Yingzhu Mountain from the flank. If the defensive line is broken by the Japanese, it will not only put the 20th Army in danger of annihilation, but also affect the stability of the entire front.

At this critical moment, Yang Hanlie stepped forward and heroically launched an active attack on the Japanese army with 140 officers and soldiers under his command. Yang Hanlie knew very well that his 140 people were by no means the opponent of the 400 Japanese army, and he could only defend it wisely and could not resist it. The cavalry company was divided into three, one was to build temporary fortifications less than 500 meters away from the military headquarters, and the other two platoons, relying on the German-made MP28* firepower in their hands, turned to the enemy's flank and carried out a close attack in squads. Company Commander Yang's order was very harsh, once the enemy was engaged, he was not allowed to retreat until the last bullet in the gun was fired and the last person died.

After two hours of flank and stepped onslaught, the Japanese army was effectively delayed and inflicted great losses on the Japanese army. Because of the small number of men, the flank and rear attacks of the two platoons did their best, however, the Japanese still had nearly 200 men stumbling to the front of the position. Fortunately, the two-hour delay gave Yang Hanlie a little time to prepare, dig some crude trenches, and set up a few machine gun positions. Yang Hanlie, who was lying in front of the temporary position, holding a Mauser M712, stared at the Japanese army who were getting closer and closer, he knew that life and death were on the front line, or he would become the first son to die on the battlefield in the Anti-Japanese War.

With Yang Hanlie's blow, the Mauser M712 in his hand was flat in front of him, and with a snap of his fingers, twenty bullets fanned out. More than 20 German-made MP28* sounded at the same time, and a rain of bullets suddenly fell on the position. The Japanese army was temporarily suppressed. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese made several more charges, all of which were pinned down by a rain of bullets. Just as the MP28* bullets ran out, reinforcements from the military headquarters, quartermasters, guards, and staff officers finally caught up. Yang Hanlie snatched a Hanyang-made rifle from them, rushed out of the trench with a tiger roar, and rushed towards the Japanese army, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

The Japanese army saw that the other side was coming for reinforcements, and most of them had been injured, and there were only 100 people who could fight, and if they stayed any longer, there would be no good fruit to eat, so they left their comrades who were killed and wounded and quickly withdrew.

Yang Hanlie was sure that his life was saved this time!

The two reviewed the battle of Shadow Pearl Mountain on the train, discussed the gains and losses, affirmed the success, and reviewed the mistakes. Mo Di nodded secretly, Yang Hanlie, wise and brave, given time, he must be a general.

Talking about the topics of interest, time flies, and before I know it, I have arrived at Pingxiang Station.
