You must know that 1942 was the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War. People across the country were enveloped in pessimism. The puppet government headed by Wang Jingwei even shouted the slogan of saving the country through curves. Some national army generals who had lost confidence in the Anti-Japanese War defected one after another.
defeated the Wang Puppet Government.
Therefore, when the news of Taiyuan's recapture came out, the whole country was in a state of excitement. Countless people took to the streets to celebrate this great victory. Even Chongqing sent telegrams of commendation to Yan Xishan, Gao Hongming and the Eighth Route Army.
Not only that, they even sent an unprecedented bonus of 500,000 yuan to the World War II zone. For Chairman Chiang who was always stingy, this was like the sun rising in the west. This shows the significance of recovering Taiyuan for the national war of resistance.
Facing Gao Hongming's question, Chi Yaohui hesitated for a while and shook his head helplessly: "Sir, unless our Liantai militia is willing to fully support the Jinsui Army, then it is possible to deter the Japanese army's ambitions again, but in this case...
…”
Chi Yaohui did not continue, but Gao Hongming already understood what he meant.
As the founder of the Liantai Militia, Gao Hongming naturally has very high control over the Liantai Militia. It can be said that he keeps his word.
But of course there are also disadvantages that come with it, that is, although Gao Hongming, as the founder, in the Liantai Militia, he always speaks the truth, but it also caused a phenomenon, that is, no one in the entire Liantai Militia except him can mobilize all the Liantai Militia.
resource.
Just as Chi Yaohui feared, the Liantai Militia wanted to mobilize all its forces to cooperate with the Jinsui Army. Unless Gao Hongming was present, no one else had this right.
After thinking for a while, Gao Hongming pinched his nose helplessly and said, "Lao Chi, it seems that I have to go back early. Can you handle it alone?"
Chi Yaohui thought for a while, "Tuanzu, to be honest, I dare not promise you anything. I can only say that I will do my best to let more brothers go home safely."
With a sigh, Gao Hongming patted his shoulder: "I know, after I leave, the burden will fall entirely on you. But you don't have to worry, next month I will transfer Xiao Zhankui's second battalion to rotate, so that you
There is also someone who can help you share the pressure."
"This is best." Chi Yaohui nodded. Xiao Zhankui was a calm person and was neither impatient nor impatient. It would be much easier if he was around.
He then asked: "Tuanzuo, when do you plan to go back?"
Gao Hongming thought for a while: "Don't worry, it won't be so fast. Even if we want to leave, we have to wait until we capture Turulu Mountain."

The light breeze blew on the sea, and a slightly fishy smell of sea kept pouring into Li Sanpao's nostrils, which made him feel uncomfortable after living in the mountains since childhood.
At this time, Li Sanpao was sitting on a chair on the deck. He held a carving knife in his hand and kept dancing against a piece of wood as thick as a flashlight, and pieces of wood chips kept falling.
After several days of treatment, the injury on Li Sanpao's back has begun to improve. His attending doctor said that as long as he rests for another half month, his wound should heal.
Although the life in Yangshang is quiet, it is also extremely boring.
Li Sanpao, who was very still and restless, asked someone to bring his carving knife and some wood, and then started to practice his old profession.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Li Sanpao was a carver before he joined the army, and his craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors. Out of boredom, he returned to his old career.
"Li, you have been blowing the wind on the deck for three hours. Have you forgotten the doctor's orders? Long-term blowing is not conducive to the healing of your wounds, and it is very likely to cause you to catch a cold. You will not forget
Alright?"
Following the sound, a slim figure wearing a white nurse uniform walked next to him.
Li Sanpao raised his head, and his eyes first circled around the opponent's towering mountain peaks, and finally stopped at the opponent's beautiful oval face.
"Miss Lynette, I'm really sorry. I was so absorbed in doing it that I forgot about time. Don't worry, I'll get down right away."
The woman's keen sixth sense made Linette's bright eyes "As long as you know, I will help you pack your things, and then we will go down."
After that, he quickly helped Li Sanpao pack away the carving knives and wood carvings on the table. When she accidentally saw the unfinished wood carvings on the table, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
.
"What you are carving is..."
Li Sanpao couldn't help but feel slightly hot when he saw the target in Linette's hand. The target was carved into a woman, with long wavy hair, a bumpy figure and a half-carved cheek.
Although it has not yet been completed, due to Li Sanpao's good craftsmanship, he can already distinguish the character's appearance. Linette immediately recognized that this wood carving was solemnly carving her.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Lynette. I will disembark and return to the army in two days. I have been taking care of you these days, so I just want to give you a gift. After much thought, I don't know what to give.
So I carved this wood carving in your likeness. I originally planned to give it to you before I left, but I didn’t expect that you discovered it in advance. I’m really sorry that I made this wood carving in your likeness without your permission.
"
Linette looked at the half-finished wood carving in her hand, her handsome face not concealing her love for the wood carving at all.
She chuckled and said, "You don't have to apologize. Although I don't know much about wood carving, I can see that your craftsmanship is really great. If this is the gift you want to give me, I will be very happy to accept it."
Western women are like this. They never hide their preferences. Now Linette feels that the hand-made wood carving looks more and more like her, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
"Li, do you really want to give this to me?"
"Of course, do you still have any doubts about this? But now the wood carving is only half completed, and I have to trouble you to wait for two days.
But please don’t worry, I will definitely deliver it to you before I get off the ship.”
"That's great. To express my gratitude to you, I will push you around the boat. Of course, the time can only be limited to ten minutes."
Linette pushed Li Sanpao's wheelchair slowly on the deck while talking, and the two of them chatted while bathing in the evening breeze and looking at the sunset.
During the chat, Linette was very curious about Li Sanpao's past and kept asking.
Li Sanpao also answered patiently one by one. Gradually, the two of them found that they could chat very well. From time to time, crisp laughter could be heard on the deck, which also attracted many curious eyes from around them.
It wasn't until Li Sanpao returned to the ward that he was surprised to find that he had a feeling of unfinished business.
