After the meeting, Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin got on their shoulder bags and were about to leave, but were stopped by Zhang Wanhe.
"Hey!" Zhang Wanhe walked quickly to the shoulder bag and said, "I said, Lao Li, the small meeting hasn't started yet after the general meeting!"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he replied: "Old Zhang, please don't interrupt me. I'm in a hurry to go back and assign tasks!"
Zhang Wanhe replied: "The tasks you assigned are important, but isn't it important that we equip ourselves with such equipment?"
As he spoke, Zhang Wanhe winked at Li Yunlong and quietly nodded to Su Xin, who was standing under the eaves and looking silently at this side.
Then Li Yunlong understood what kind of medicine Zhang Wanhe was selling in the gourd. He sat on the side of the bag and said to Wang Xuexin: "Go back quickly!"
"Yes!" Wang Xuexin responded and ran quickly towards Su Xin.
At this time, Su Xin couldn't care less about other people's opinions. She quickly took out a pair of wool gloves from her bag and handed them over, with a bit of worry on her face: "Here, I knit them for you. Wear them and see if they fit!"
Wang Xuexin responded, took the gloves and put them on. They were neither too big nor too small, and they felt warm from his fingers to his heart.
"Is there going to be a war again?" Su Xin asked anxiously: "You have to take care of yourself on the battlefield..."
Before he finished speaking, he was unexpectedly pulled into his arms by Wang Xuexin.
At that moment, Su Xin's mind was buzzing with chaos, like a wooden man who didn't know what to do.
Although Wang Xuexin's action was not excessive, it was still a bit abrupt in this era and with so many people watching.
In fact, even Wang Xuexin didn't know why he did this.
Looking back on this moment afterwards, Wang Xuexin felt that maybe it was because of the tight time, or maybe the pair of gloves, plus a part of the mentality of going to the battlefield...
No one can be sure about the battlefield. Even if Wang Xuexin has been on the battlefield for a long time and is still a battalion commander, there is no guarantee that he will come back alive.
When facing Su Xin, a thought flashed in Wang Xuexin's mind: "Will this be the last time he sees Su Xin?"
Perhaps it was this thought that made Wang Xuexin hug her into his arms on impulse.
Wang Xuexin thought there would be booing around him, but what was strange was...the commanders and soldiers walking around him seemed to be doing what they were supposed to do without seeing it.
After a while, Wang Xuexin said, "Take care of yourself," then turned around, jumped on his shoulder bag, and galloped away without looking back.
This was the first time that Wang Xuexin had the desire to stay. He almost wanted to ask Li Yunlong for a few days off.
Wang Xuexin believed that if he did this, Li Yunlong would be able to grant the leave.
Because Wang Xuexin has not had a holiday in nearly a year since he came to this world... This is secondly. The army in this era basically has no "holiday" to speak of, because most people regard the army as their home. Even if there is a holiday, they can still
Where?
The point is that Wang Xuexin has made so many achievements, so exchanging these achievements for a few days of vacation is not too much, right?
But Wang Xuexin knew that he couldn't do this.
If I take leave, what will happen to the tank company in the army?
What to do with the mountain company?
What to do with the independent regiment’s battle plan?
If Wang Xuexin was just an ordinary soldier in the army, asking for a few days' leave might not have much impact, but Wang Xuexin has a pivotal position in the independent regiment. If he asked for leave, it would probably directly affect the morale of the army...
On the flying shoulder, Wang Xuexin's tears flowed freely against the wind, and he cursed over and over again in his heart: "This damn war, damn devils, why do you want to invade other countries when you are living so well in your own country? What if?
They know that they will eventually fail and that doing so will only harm others and themselves. Will they still choose war? If the results are directly told to them, will this war be ended?"
But of course, this is just Wang Xuexin's extravagant hope.
Humans are a very strange animal. Sometimes they seem very smart, but sometimes they are completely irrational and have to fight to the death.
Li Yunlong didn't speak from the beginning to the end. He just patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder when he got off the car and comforted: "Fifth Battalion Commander, let's let go and fight the Japanese! Don't worry, this wife can't escape. After driving the Japanese out of the house, I, Li Yunlong,
I will make the decision for you, and we will marry Factory Director Su in a glorious manner!"
"Thank you, leader!" Wang Xuexin replied.
Li Yunlong said it very seriously, and Wang Xuexin could see that he was not joking, but made a promise to Wang Xuexin.
As soon as Wang Xuexin returned to the battalion headquarters, he received two pieces of information.
One was sent by Sun Erwei Na.
"King!" Sun Erwei sent up a telegram translated into Chinese and said angrily: "The troops withdrew before the sun set, and they withdrew without notifying the Chinese army or Stilwell! It's unimaginable.
These cowards actually arrogantly asked for equipment and supplies as if they were victors before the war, and when the gunfire started, they ignored their allies and ran faster than a rabbit! Go to hell!"
Wang Xuexin had known for a long time that this would be the result. He was not surprised when he heard the information. He just asked: "Has General Stilwell sent out the 'gift' given to the Japanese?"
"Sent it out!" Sun Erwei nodded: "But I haven't received the results yet!"
Just as he was talking, Sun Erwei's communications soldier sent a telegram. Sun Erwei looked at the phone and clenched his fist with joy: "That's great, Wang! We just received the intelligence that at least one of the Japanese soldiers in the brigade was injured for 'unknown reasons'.
Food poisoning! This delayed the Japanese pursuit, and the Chinese army successfully jumped out of the encirclement through this gap!"
Wang Xuexin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This could be regarded as his doing his best to help the powerful Chinese Expeditionary Force.
However, the road ahead is still full of difficulties, and whether they can successfully pass it depends on themselves.
Another piece of information was reported by Chen Songyong.
"Battal Commander!" Chen Songyong said: "The mountain company found some suspicious traces during field survival training..."
This immediately aroused Wang Xuexin's alarm and asked: "Who discovered it?"
"Deputy company commander Zhang Li!" Chen Songyong replied.
Zhang Li is a cat calf, and his long-term hunting life has made him good at tracking and observing. If he becomes suspicious... then there is probably something wrong.
Wang Xuexin took the telegram, read it, and then ordered: "Let Mao Duzi come to the camp headquarters, right away!"
"yes!"
It took more than an hour for Mao Duzi to appear in front of Wang Xuexin out of breath... The training was basically a little far away from the camp headquarters, so more than an hour was considered fast.
"What's going on?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"Report to the battalion commander!" Mao Duzi replied breathlessly: "The other party... deliberately covered up the traces, and there were... traces of bayonets and engineer shovels."
Then Wang Xuexin understood why Mao Duzi was suspicious.
The Eighth Route Army troops had no need to cover their tracks.
And the bayonet and engineer shovel...this determines that they are a troop.
