It has already entered early autumn in the Qinling Mountains, and it is a bit cool, especially in the dark late night.
Liu Lang, dressed in military uniform, stood alone by the window of the regiment headquarters, silently looking out the window, hard-hearted and not looking back at Ji Yanxue's lonely back as he left with tears in his eyes.
Yes, this was the first time the two had a quarrel since they met. The content of the quarrel was nothing more than tomorrow's expedition. Just in the afternoon, Ji Yanxue, who was originally appointed by Liu Lang as the director of the independent regiment's field hospital, was suddenly
Liu Xiang was ordered by telegram to be appointed director of the political training office of the independent regiment base garrison camp.
She was excluded from the army that was about to go out tomorrow.
Although Liu Lang was shocked, he carried out the military order from Shangfeng without hesitation. However, Lieutenant Colonel Ji was furious. After negotiating with Liu Lang to no avail, he directly called the 2nd Theater Headquarters. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang this time
But he was extremely determined, and without even giving Ji Yanxue any reason, he blocked Lieutenant Colonel Ji's full of grievances with the words "Military orders are like mountains".
Although she was worried about Liu Lang, Lieutenant Colonel Ji finally accepted the military order. However, she had just found Liu Lang, and instead of continuing to pester him about the expedition, she wanted to marry Liu Lang today. She didn't want any glory or wealth.
As long as Liu Lang becomes her husband before setting off tomorrow, she will become her wife.
Liu Lang was very moved. He was used to seeing life and death parting like him, and he burst into tears because he knew what this meant. It meant that this woman was not only willing to hand over her life to you, she was even willing to hand over her own future.
It is in the palm of your hand that every woman cherishes the most. She already loves you to the core of her heart.
But, can Liu Lang agree? He can't agree. Although he knows very well that Ji Yanxue was suddenly appointed by Liu Xiang as the director of the political training department of the independent regiment base garrison camp because his parents went to Chengdu and found Liu Xiang.
The most prominent cousin begged him to keep this daughter-in-law.
The two old men could not stop their sons from rushing to the anti-Japanese battlefield where life and death were uncertain, but the daughter-in-law of the Liu family and the only daughter of the Ji family could not get married anymore. At least they left a thought for the two families. Liu Xiang could not refuse, first
This military order was issued almost arbitrarily without any discussion with the independent regiment.
Moved by love, but even more because of love, Liu Lang could not agree to Ji Yanxue's request for a hasty marriage before the expedition. Without offspring, and without herself, this beautiful woman might live a lonely life. She was only 23 years old.
In the future, when she has just graduated from college, she will have the opportunity to choose happiness again.
Therefore, Liu Lang refused without mercy. Ji Yanxue, who was in anger, did not use the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" on Liu Lang that they occasionally used when they were in love and rough fights as before. She remained silent for a long time and faced Liu Lang.
Lang Jueqing's back, with tears on his face, left in despair.
Liu Lang hardened his heart and did not send her away. He did not even look back. He was afraid that he would agree. Really, when Ji Yanxue turned around and left in loneliness, he wanted to turn around and hold her hand and tell her
She: "I am willing to marry you, and I want to stay with you for the rest of my life. No matter if I am poor or rich, no matter whether I am healthy or sick, no matter whether I am young or old."
However, the coming cruel war forced him to return to his role as a warrior, and he never looked back.
Outside the window, the night was like ink, Liu Lang gradually regained his composure and tried to pull himself out of the confusion of his children's love. He was still a commander who was about to lead an army of 3,000, 1,000 strong men, a total of more than 4,000 people, and he had other things to consider.
a lot of.
There were gentle footsteps behind me.
Liu Lang didn't even look back, and ordered loudly: "As of yesterday, the Independent Regiment has entered wartime. According to wartime regulations, no non-combatants are allowed to enter the headquarters before accepting military orders. Yan Qiguan will go to the Military Law Office on his own.
Receive punishment."
"Yes" came the loud reply from Lieutenant Yan Qiguan, who had been promoted to guard platoon leader, twenty meters away.
Without smelling the familiar body fragrance, Liu Lang's sensitive hearing had already told him who the visitor was. If it hadn't been for her, Yan Qiguan would not have dared to disobey the military order and let her walk into the regiment headquarters without notifying him.
The previous quarrel between him and Ji Yanxue prevented Zhang Ruhao, the regiment deputy and political commissar secretly, from coming in. At this time, he was probably doing work for Ji Yanxue, who was already a probationary party member like Liu Lang. This time
Over the past year and a half, more than ten lieutenants and school officers of the independent regiment have gradually accepted the Red Party to be developed as probationary members.
"Liu, you're leaving tomorrow, do you just don't want to see me?" came the voice of Youyuan in Chinese.
Liu Lang sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and said: "Laura, you and I belong to two different worlds. It is God's blessing that we can meet and become friends. However, I will lead the army tomorrow and I don't know when I will return.
Why see you again only to increase your sadness."
"Liu, I understand your determination to protect our country. From the moment my camera captured those seven female soldiers, I already understood your determination and the determination of your warriors to fight for their country and nation.
.But, I don’t understand why you must die? Aren’t you Chinese the most taboo about the word “death”? Why do you have to talk about the unlucky word “death” before setting off for an expedition? You know, I don’t
I hope you die, I want you to live well." Laura's eyes as beautiful as the ocean were filled with tears.
As a Westerner who has great respect for life, she can understand Liu Lang's patriotism and Liu Lang's determination to fight for the nation against the invaders, but she doesn't understand why Liu Lang disrespects life so much.
Before going to war, one must talk about death, and even rejecting marriage was because he was determined to die on the battlefield.
Liu Lang looked at the little foreign girl who had a straightforward personality but had tears in her eyes. His heart finally softened. He pointed to a crude flag with black characters on a white background and said, "You are an expert on ancient Chinese culture. On this
You should recognize the characters!"
There was a big word "death" written in the middle of the white cloth flag. The little foreign girl's eyes widened. This turned out to be a flag with the word "death". In her understanding of the Chinese people who advocate auspiciousness, it was definitely unlucky.
It is unlucky, but this "death" flag is hanging on the wall of the independent regiment headquarters.
"The national crisis is at hand, and the Japanese invaders are ferocious. Every man has his share in the rise and fall of a country. I wanted to serve, but I have passed the age. Fortunately, I have a son, so I volunteered voluntarily. Give me a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe the blood when you are injured, and wrap yourself up after death. Go forward bravely, don't
Forgot your duty!" Liu Lang said with tears in his eyes. "This is what Wang Zhecheng, a farmer from Qushan Town, Bei'an County, Sichuan Province, rushed to the military camp to give to his son Wang Jiantang the day before yesterday. Although you and I have not yet become parents, we cannot
He understands his parents’ feelings, but as a son, he also understands his parents’ intentions towards their children.
It is hard for me to imagine how the white-haired old man wrote this banner with the word "death" with great enthusiasm. It is also hard to imagine that the white-haired old man's vicissitudes of life held the pen and wrote "wipe the injury when it hurts".
"Blood, wrapped around me after death" trembling. I only know that when I was a child, my arm was bruised and bleeding, and I was still grinning, but my old man's lips were only trembling with distress. However, when China is facing a national crisis,
, the white-haired old father sent his son to the battlefield, but he wrote such a flag.
Yes, it is unlucky. However, this represents the determination of millions of Chinese people. In order for our nation to continue to survive on this fertile soil, what does it matter even if all the young people of our generation die in battle? For the sake of the magnificence of the motherland
For the sake of our parents, wives and children, and for the sake of future generations, we, the Independent League, Sichuan people, and people of our country would rather die standing than live on our knees.
The soldiers under my command can die, and so can I, Liu Lang. My life, at this time, does not belong to myself, to you and Yan Xue, nor to my parents, but to me, the great rivers and mountains of China, to this country.
A nation that has thrived on a piece of land for thousands of years. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. At this time, Liu Lang could only be loyal.
I say this, Laura, do you understand?"
Laura didn’t speak for a long time, just staring at Liu Lang.
For a long time, there were no tears in her big, beautiful eyes like the ocean, because the tears had quietly flowed all over her face.
"Liu, you are a real man, but you are not a good lover." Although her face was full of tears, Laura did not cry, but her face was firm. "But Laura will wait for you in Sichuan, waiting for you
With the news of your warriors' victory and triumph, uncle, aunt, me and Ji will go visit you."
.......
Liu Lang feels a little sore. Isn't it appropriate for you two to go together? What do you want me to think?
"By the way, Liu has already gone to Shanghai. Where you are about to go, you must pay attention to protect her safety." The words left by the little foreign girl before leaving made Liu Lang dumbfounded.
Why am I still thinking about all this when I have already talked about it to death...
PS: Today is Father’s Day. Father’s love is like a mountain. I wish all the fathers in the world good health. I also write this chapter to commemorate the ordinary and great fathers who sent their children to the battlefield 80 years ago and leaned on the railing to look back, but never had their children return.
