A quarter of an hour later, when the seven leaders of the New Fourth Army rushed to Dameishan Airport, they found that except for a dozen guards, not even a ghost was seen at the airport, not to mention Xu Rui and the others.
Even Song Guoning and a dozen of his pilots were nowhere to be seen, and they were nowhere to be found.
Feeling puzzled, Chief No. 2 called a security guard from the airport to him and asked: "Who, didn't they say that Captain Xu Rui and Captain Leng Tiefeng are back?"
The guard stood at attention and saluted and then replied: "Report, I'm back."
Chief No. 1 also asked: "I heard they came back by plane?"
The guard nodded and replied: "Report to the chief, he came back by plane."
"Where's the plane?" Chief No. 3 asked, "Why don't you see the plane?"
The guard pointed to the hangar in front and said, "The plane has entered the hangar."
Chief No. 5 ran to the hangar in three steps and opened the door. The chiefs immediately saw that there was indeed a large transport aircraft in the originally empty hangar.
Leader No. 6 was immediately overjoyed and said, "Hey, he's a big guy!"
Leader No. 7 also smiled and said: "I really like this Captain Xu who I have never met before. Every time he goes out, he always seems to be able to bring some good things home."
The No. 2 leader didn't say any more nonsense and asked the guard: "Where are they?"
The guard pointed to the army compound and said, "They have gone home."
The No. 2 commander waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the army compound."
…
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Songhu Independent Regiment.
Now, it seems inappropriate to continue to use the Songhu Independent Regiment's organization. After all, Shanghai has been lost, and the troops have withdrawn to the Dameishan base area. It is no longer appropriate to continue to use the original organization. The New Fourth Army's military headquarters also intends to make Songhu independent.
The regiment was reorganized into a force directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Headquarters, and was designated as the Teaching Corps.
But until now, there has been no action.
The head of the military department is waiting for the final news from Xu Rui.
Although six of the leaders from No. 1 to No. 7 all agreed that Xu Rui's hope of returning alive from Japan was very slim, they rashly reorganized the Songhu Independent Regiment before any definite news came back, and
Arranging a new team leader to take over Xu Rui's position is not very suitable after all.
Apart from anything else, what if Xu Rui really comes back alive?
Therefore, the matter of adapting the Songhu Independent Group was delayed.
The head of the military department is waiting for news from Xu Rui, while the officers and soldiers of the Songhu Independent Regiment are looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that Xu Rui and the others can come back as soon as possible, especially Xiao Yanyue and Jiang Nan.
Every time I go there I have to go outside the Shaqiaogang Fortress, and then I wait for two hours at Shaqiaogang, which is almost like a Wangfu Stone.
At noon that day, Jiang Nan and Xiao Yanyue came to the sand bridge pier again.
"Are you here?" Xiao Yanyue, who was one step ahead, nodded slightly to Jiangnan.
Jiang Nan smiled back, and then stood beside Xiao Yanyue in a tacit understanding.
Speaking of which, Jiangnan and Xiao Yanyue are old acquaintances. When Xu Rui led the remnants of the temporary 79th Division to break out from Wuxi and fight near Nantong, Jiangnan and Xiao Yanyue had worked together for a while, but at that time Jiangnan
His public identity was that of a Kuomintang military reunification agent, for which the two of them had some unpleasant quarrels.
But now, the same encounter has quickly brought the two closer together.
After waiting for a moment, Xiao Yanyue suddenly sighed softly and said sadly: "I don't know, what are those two heartless people doing now? Do they really plan to stay in Japan and never come back?"
As time went by, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng never received any news. Wang Husheng had even used the secret radio station with Shun Nakamura, but in the end there was still no response. This made Xiao Yanyue no longer worried.
, Could it be that Xu Rui and the others have really sacrificed their lives for the country?
"No." Jiang Nan's tone sounded very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the baby in his belly, but the belief in his words was very firm, "I believe they will come back."
"I hope so." Xiao Yanyue smiled bitterly. When she turned her eyes, she noticed Jiang Nan's hands caressing her slightly bulging belly. She asked curiously, "Jiang Nan, your belly is getting bigger again. When is the due date?"
"It's still early." Speaking of the baby in his belly, Jiang Nan immediately showed a happy smile on his face and said softly, "The due date is in the first month of the month. I believe that by that time, his father will have already come back.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear female voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Sister Jiangnan, Sister Yanzi..."
Jiang Nan and Xiao Yanyue looked back after hearing the sound, only to see Hua Niu running towards them. Hua Niu used to be a Langya. Later, after the Langya reorganized, Hua Niu was transferred out of the Langya brigade and became a regiment member.
The guards at the headquarters are mainly responsible for protecting the female cadres at the regiment headquarters, such as Liu Mei and Jiang Nan. It would be inappropriate to send a male team member to protect them.
Soon, Hua Niu arrived in front of Jiang Nan and Xiao Yanyue, and said anxiously: "Sister Jiangnan, Sister Yanzi, go back quickly, you go back quickly!"
Seeing Hua Niu being so anxious, Jiang Nan and Xiao Yanyue felt a sudden shock in their hearts.
Especially Jiang Nan was even more anxious and asked: "Hua Niu, what happened to the regiment headquarters?"
"It's not the regiment headquarters, it's the army compound." Hua Niu said anxiously, "You guys should go back to the army compound quickly!"
"The army compound?" Xiao Yanyue's beauty was pale now. The people living in the army compound were all family members. She immediately grabbed Hua Niu's big hand and asked, "Hua Niu, what happened to someone's family?
"
"Whose family is in trouble?" Hua Niu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Nothing happened."
"Nothing happened, why are you so anxious?" Xiao Yanyue said angrily, "It scared me to death."
Over there, Jiang Nan asked softly: "Hua Niu, tell me quickly, what's going on over there in the army compound?"
"It's nothing." Hua Niu scratched her head and whispered, "It's the captain and Captain Leng who are back."
Xiao Yanyue snorted and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a regiment commander who has returned? There are so many regiment commanders living in the army compound. Isn't that strange? And what about Captain Leng..."
But at this point, Xiao Yanyue's voice suddenly got stuck.
Since the headquarters of the New Fourth Army moved to the Dameishan base area, many regiment-level cadres have moved into the army compound, and there are also many actual regiment leaders, so Jiangnan didn't bother to care which regiment leader returned home, but the captain named Leng
There seems to be only one, and he happens to be her husband, Xiao Yanyue. Could it be that...
Xiao Yanyue's beautiful eyes lit up instantly and she asked urgently: "Hua Niu, you mean..."
Before Xiao Yanyue could finish speaking, Hua Niu nodded vigorously and said loudly: "Well, they are the group leader and Captain Leng!"
"Tiefeng, it's Tiefeng!" Xiao Yanyue screamed, turned around and ran back. Before Xiao Yanyue, Jiang Nan had already run further ahead.
You can't tell she's still pregnant.
It was not too far from Shaqiao Pier to the army compound. A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yanyue and Jiang Nan returned to the army compound.
After entering the army compound, Xiao Yanyue went straight to her home, while Jiang Nan went straight to Xu Rui's house inside. Although she was not the hostess here, and she might not have the chance to become the hostess here in the future, this did not mean
What prevents Jiangnan from feeling close to this place is that Xu Rui lives here and this is her lover's home.
Still dozens of meters away, Jiang Nan saw people crowding around the Xu family courtyard, and the courtyard was even buzzing with people.
In the crowd outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Nan saw many acquaintances, most of whom were battalion and company officers of the Songhu Independent Regiment. When they saw Jiang Nan running over, panting, they immediately began to collectively boo.
Then, the crowd outside the courtyard gate dispersed to both sides.
Then, Jiang Nan saw a figure walking out of the gate.
It's Xu Rui, it's Xu Rui, it's really Xu Rui! In an instant, Jiang Nan's tears fell.
Although Jiang Nan seemed full of confidence in Xu Rui in front of everyone and firmly believed that Xu Rui would come back, this was just her belief after all. As a materialist, Jiang Nan knew very well in her heart that Xu Rui's chance of surviving from Japan was absolutely slim.
It would not be more than one in ten thousand. In fact, she was mentally prepared to lose Xu Rui.
But now, Xu Rui is really back alive and unscathed!
Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Rui walked slowly to Jiang Nan, and then handed the fruit in his arms to Liu Mei.
Then, Xu Rui stretched out his arms and hugged Jiang Nan hard. He hugged Jiang Nan so hard that Jiang Nan almost suffocated, but Jiang Nan didn't care. She would rather die like this to Xu Rui.
In her arms, the only thing she was afraid of was that this was just a dream, and when she woke up from the dream, everything would disappear.
But all this was so real, she even heard Xu Rui's pounding heartbeat.
At that moment, Jiang Nan asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Arui, is this true? Isn't this a dream?"
"This is real, this is not a dream, I'm back!" Xu Rui hugged Jiang Nan tightly, feeling so distressed that he almost suffocated. After losing two lovers in a row, he absolutely did not want to lose the last lover again, even if he was iron-clad.
Even the King of Soldiers could not bear such a blow and pain.
At this time, the surrounding cadres of the Songhu Independent Regiment and the Langya team members began to make noises and instigated Xu Rui to kiss him.
How could Xu Rui disappoint his die-hard subordinates? He immediately held Jiang Nan's pretty face with both hands, raised it slightly, then bent his head and kissed her hard. Jiang Nan was a little restrained at first. After all, it was under the watchful eye.
, but soon, she began to get lost in Xu Rui's fiery enthusiasm, Ding Xiang revealed her secret, and began to cater to her enthusiastically.
Several leaders of the New Fourth Army happened to see this passionate scene as they filed over.
The No. 2 leader was stunned for a moment, and then started to applaud. The other leaders responded and also clapped, and then more people joined in the applause. After a while, warm applause broke out.
