PS: The second update is here. Today, can you let Feng Yue take a break? Feng Yue quickly goes to code.
............
But this time the Great Wall tour came unexpectedly slowly.
until afternoon.
The Great Wall Regiment finally met twenty miles outside the city and went to Luo Wenyu to pick up Chi Dakui and others from Cheng Yuanshan and Zhou Shiyu.
Although Liu Dazhu is still stationed at Qinglong Mountain with a company, the officers and soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment, including Qi Guangyuan, from top to bottom, unanimously believe that this is also the glory of the nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers of the original Independent Regiment. Without them, this battle would not have been possible.
Brilliant, they must come.
The only regret is that the fat commander went to "recuperate from injury", otherwise the two thousand officers and soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment would definitely throw the fat commander who weighed 200 kilograms in front of the cheering people.
Others throw flowers, they throw fat people, it's very harmonious!
Nearly a hundred wounded soldiers and hundreds of Chi Dakui officers and soldiers, assisted by dozens of large vehicles from the Northern Military Commission, caught up with the main force of the first and second battalions of the Great Wall Regiment. Most of the Great Wall Regiment, totaling more than 2,000 people, participated in the grand entry into the city arranged by the Northern Military Commission.
ceremony.
It has to be said that in order to satisfy the people, the Northern Military Commission also took great pains.
All officers and soldiers put on the brand-new national army uniforms allocated overnight by the Northern Military Commission. First, the Great Wall Regiment was originally composed of two regiments of the 29th Army and an independent regiment of the Second Division of the Central Army. The military uniforms of the two armies are slightly different.
There is a difference, it looks too disorganized; the second reason is that after the war, whether it was an officer or a soldier, the uniforms were not only torn but also dirty. For future generations, it would represent the dirty and chaotic blind flow. Why enter the city? It is typical to enter a detention center.
All the people.
Not only did all the officers and soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment get a new set of military uniforms for free, but all of them had unwashed hair and unshaven beards. The careful Northern Military Commission also prepared them. Amid the chaos, the Northern Military Commission tried their best to transport the military uniforms.
The barber has a lot of work.
The people in Chengde on the other side also tried their best to help. Not only the barbers who were skilled in shaving heads participated, hundreds of bonfires were soon lit in the open air, and basins of hot water were brought over by countless people.
Washing the faces of soldiers whose faces have not been washed for more than ten days.
Later, it was said that in order to allow two thousand officers and soldiers to wash their faces, the ditch, which was not full of water, was almost completely scooped out, and the land where the sewage was poured out grew far more abundant grass in the coming years than other places.
Okay! How clean can you expect thousands of men who haven't taken off their clothes to sleep and haven't washed their faces for dozens of days?
A well-dressed man who longs for the scent of fragrance will never know what a battlefield is like. The only smell that can be found there, besides gunpowder and smoke, is blood.
Of course, this is not a battlefield, but a celebration ground. Two thousand grown men who killed the Japanese invaders without even blinking washed their faces cleanly with the help of Chengde aunts and ladies.
Wearing new clothes, neat and tidy, all the officers and soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment, full of energy and energy, finally arrived outside Peiping City as the sun set.
A huge crowd of civilians, led by staff sent by the government, walked into the simple barracks temporarily arranged by the Northern Military Commission outside the city.
The entry ceremony of the Great Wall Group officially started.
Deshengmen is the city gate selected by the Northern Military Commission for the Great Wall Regiment to enter the city for the ceremony. It was also the city gate chosen by General He against all the opinions of the Great Wall Regiment, and the meaning is naturally in it.
Even Liu Lang, who learned about it afterward, had to accept Admiral He's advice. You know, according to the bald man's wishes, the main thing should be to welcome the people who returned home after the evacuation, and the victory ceremony of the Great Wall Regiment's entry into the city should be the main thing.
Auxiliary. However, General He chose this city gate, and the Great Wall Regiment enjoyed the endless glory of returning from victory even before they entered.
When the majestic Great Wall Regiment, carrying guns, machine guns, cannons and brothers who had not recovered from serious injuries, walked into the gate of Peiping City, they appeared in front of the people along the street who were waiting eagerly with various slogans in their hands.
The whole of Peiping fell into a sea of joy.
The soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment were overwhelmed with the eggs, pancakes and various snacks they couldn't name, which were enthusiastically stuffed by the old ladies and aunts.
Ling Hong, who wore the rank of lieutenant and was very energetic and handsome, was even led by the enthusiastic people to drink several mouthfuls of hot soup and eat several mouthfuls of hot and chewy meat.
That taste was quite satisfying for Ling Hong, who was born in the south. He quietly asked Zhao Ergou, the artillery company commander beside him who was happily drinking soup and eating meat, looking like he was still unsatisfied. Only then did Ling Hong know what he had just eaten.
The thing is called gourd head.
It sounds like a very elegant snack name, but after listening to Zhao Ergou's somewhat intoxicated talk about the ingredients and methods of gourd head, Lieutenant Ling's face couldn't help but turn a little green.
It’s not that pig intestines don’t exist in the south, on the contrary, there are quite a lot of them.
However, due to the difference in temperature between the north and the south, the snack called "Gourd Head" in northern China is mainly made of pig intestines. The fat in the large intestines is not removed. The thick fat is delicious when eaten. That is, the taste
Son!
Non-southern people won't be able to smell it. Anyway, you only need to know what the large intestine contains.
...
It can be said that walking through the long street, the officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the 29th Army have never enjoyed such glory.
Holding the worthless but warm food that the common people kept pushing in, all the soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment seemed to understand a little bit what the fat man of the regiment once said when he put the two armies together:
Soldiers, we must use our lives to protect those we need to protect.
Those aunts and ladies who stuffed them with warm eggs and food, those people who yelled the name of the Great Wall Group at the top of their lungs, those children who sat on their father's head and waved their young hands and smiled. Are they worth protecting?
?
It's worth it. Everyone gave themselves a positive answer at the first time.
They clearly saw that many of those aunts and ladies were dishonest, but they still stuffed the soldiers' arms with food that could fill their stomachs without hesitation.
They can contribute their precious things without hesitation.
As a soldier, how can you begrudge your own preciousness? Even life.
Being welcomed by nearly 100,000 people is an honor and a responsibility.
If the Great Wall Regiment that just beat the Japanese to the ground is the crape myrtle sword used by the sword god in Master Jin’s novel before he was lonely and defeated in middle age, with cold light and unrivaled sharpness, then, those who walked through the ten-mile street
The soldiers of the Great Wall Regiment used the same big sword that Dugu Qiubai used after forty years. The heavy sword has no sharp edge but is indestructible.
This journey is a journey of tempering people's hearts. Understanding one's mission is the most essential transformation of a warrior.
But the climax of glory does not come from Ten Mile Long Street.
But when the Great Wall Regiment walked through the welcoming crowd, what came towards them were the wounded soldiers who were leaning on crutches and still standing upright, and their former colleagues who were still smiling brightly while being carried on stretchers.
"Tiedan, you damn person is still alive!"
"Daniu, you're not dead!"
"Wow, platoon leader, it's great that you are alive!"
.......
2,000 soldiers and nearly 3,000 wounded soldiers who had been sent back to Peking in advance to recuperate hugged each other, laughed, and enjoyed the joy of reunion.
Reunion with their comrades is undoubtedly the happiest thing for them at the moment, even happier than the moment of enjoying endless glory.
Smiling and laughing, but also crying.
Like a face made of steel, hot tears flowed freely.
It's impossible for them not to cry. The three groups total nearly 8,000 people. Now, there are less than 5,000 people who can stand here or lie here.
There are three thousand people, and I can no longer laugh or cry with them.
I wonder if they can hear the cheers and cries of the people in heaven.
Yes, when I saw thousands of soldiers hugging each other like this, laughing and laughing, they suddenly cried. One hundred thousand people all had tears in their eyes.
How could they not understand: all victories are obtained by the loss of countless lives.
