"Baby, do you really want to go?" Seeing Sai Hongfu packing her bags, Xu Rui couldn't help but persuade her, "Your pregnancy reaction is so strong, I think it's better not to go?"
Ever since Sai Hongfu became pregnant, Xu Rui has been so precious to her.
Even the title was changed. She no longer called her Sai Hongfu Xiaobai, but started calling her baby in a very disgusting way.
While helping Sai Hongfu pack her bags, Xiao Taohong also advised: "Sister, my uncle is right, you vomit as soon as you eat, you vomit as soon as you eat, you have no strength all over your body, you feel tired even walking in the aisle, where are you?"
If you can do it, the army can fight. Just listen to my uncle and don't go to Wanma Crossing."
Sai Hongfu shook his head and said: "Silly girl, what's the point of my sister not going? I have to go."
Sai Hongfu's family knows about her family affairs. She is now the de facto leader's wife of the Independent Group. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her. If she doesn't go, others will definitely stir up trouble behind her back.
"Why do you have to go?" Xiao Taohong immediately puffed up her cheeks and said, "Let's see who dares to gossip."
"You are in charge of heaven and earth, but you can also control other people's mouths?" Sai Hong gave Xiao Taohong a white look and said angrily.
"I, I, I..." Xiao Taohong immediately became anxious and said angrily, "If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will ask my uncle to punish him."
"Yes, I will punish him." Xu Rui helped, "Whoever dares to stab me, I will put him in solitary confinement."
Upon hearing this, Sai Hongfu immediately gave Xu Rui a hard look, and Xu Rui quickly slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Prenatal education, I used foul language again."
After saying that, Xu Rui came close to Sai Hongfu again, gently rubbed Sai Hongfu's belly that had not yet swollen, and said: "I'm sorry, little baby, daddy said something bad again, palm mouth."
Seeing Xu Rui slap her mouth against her belly, Sai Hongfu could not help but smile sweetly at the corner of her mouth. Seeing Xiao Taohong on the side, Baozi also showed a satisfied smile on her face. This pretty maid was flirting with Sai Hong.
As a sister, to her, what Sai Hongfu has is what she has, there is no difference.
After the warmth and sweetness, it was time to leave. As the leader's wife, she especially had to set an example.
Sai Hongfu then packed his luggage. In fact, there was nothing to pack, just a bow, a few changes of clothes, and some cosmetics. Women are women, and they never forget to dress up beautifully, but then again
Speaking of which, a naturally beautiful woman like Sai Hongfu is equally beautiful even without dressing up.
Almost at the same time, Erya was also silently packing Han Feng's luggage.
While cleaning up, tears fell from Erya's face.
Aunt Han walked in with breakfast and saw Erya crying, so she hurriedly came over to persuade her: "Girl, don't cry. Be good, you can take care of yourself now. Don't cry."
Elderly people are still a bit superstitious. They think that if a woman cries all the time during pregnancy, the child will have a miserable life because it is soaked in tears. How can it not be miserable?
Erya quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks, but she couldn't stop sobbing.
Seeing Erya sobbing silently, Han Feng couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Since Erya became pregnant, he had never been with her properly. He often heard the team leader say that pregnant women are the most fragile and the most vulnerable.
She needs a man to accompany her, but he really can't spare the time to accompany her. If you add all the money together, it might not last more than three whole days.
At that moment, Han Feng said: "Erya, after this battle is over, I will definitely ask for leave from the captain and stay at home with you until our little baby is born, okay?"
Erya sobbed and said, "You say that every time, but every time you say it, it doesn't count."
"It's true this time." Han Feng said, "I will definitely keep my word this time. I will."
"Really?" Erya asked with hope.
"Really." Han Feng responded seriously.
Only then did Erya burst into laughter, and while packing Han Feng's luggage, she began to long for Han Feng's scene at home. To be honest, Erya's request was not excessive at all, and was even very humble, but for a military wife
In fact, even such a humble request cannot be met.
When Han Feng packed his bags and walked out of the small courtyard, "Blood-stained Style" was playing on the radio in the courtyard.
With the arrival of a large number of educated young people, various tasks in the base area began to be carried out rapidly, including battlefield literary and artistic propaganda work, the last Feicheng defense battle, and the poem "Blood-stained Style" that Xu Rui read on the battlefield radio
", has been adapted into a song by students from the Propaganda Department.
Every time the troops went out for war, Liang Yixiao, the director of the Propaganda Department, would sing this song on the radio.
Liang Yixiao's voice is very beautiful, making this already touching song even more touching.
Listening to the singing coming from the radio, and thinking about the sad eyes of his old mother and his beloved wife when he left the house just now, Han Feng's nose sore for no reason, and he shed two lines of male tears.
At that moment, Han Feng also started humming softly.
Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back.
Do you understand? Do you understand?
Maybe I fall down and never get up again.
Do you still want to look forward to it forever?
If so, don't be sad.
The flying military flag bears our blood-stained demeanor.
Maybe my eyes can no longer be opened.
Can you understand my silent feelings?
Maybe I will sleep forever and never wake up again.
Do you believe that I turned into a mountain?
If so, don't be sad.
In the soil of our motherland, there is our sincere love.
Until he disappeared at the end of the road, Han Feng did not look back at his old mother and beloved wife.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Erya rubbed her bulging belly and said quietly: "Baby, when you grow up, you will also be a soldier. Be a good soldier like your father and be a man who stands upright."
"Yes, become a soldier." Aunt Han continued, "Then fight the Japanese."
(Dividing line)
When Xu Rui arrived at the independent regiment's station, the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Engineer Battalion and eight reserve battalions, a total of 12 battalions of more than 6,000 people, had all been assembled.
Under the dark night, more than 6,000 officers and soldiers were seen standing in silence on the playground.
Although the night was dark, Xu Rui could still clearly see the strict queue on the playground through the light of the camp and street lights. Xu Rui had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the engineer battalion and the ten reserve battalions may not be very good, but
However, the formation is still well-drilled. Looking at it, whether looking vertically, horizontally or diagonally, it is almost a straight line.
It has been nearly two months since the expansion of the Independent Regiment. However, the battalions have been stationed separately and trained separately before. They have never gathered together. Tonight, the twelve battalions gathered together. This is the first time since the expansion of the Independent Regiment.
Such a large-scale gathering made Xu Rui a little excited after watching the battle.
In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck, and in the blink of an eye, his troops had expanded to tens of thousands of people!
According to the establishment of the National Revolutionary Army, he, Xu, is now a proper division commander, and he is also a Category A division organized in the third brigade and nine regiments. He is the same as the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. Of course, in name, he is still a division commander.
The commander of a regiment, to paraphrase the head of the military department, even if he expands the army to a hundred battalions, he will still be the commander of the regiment.
Tonight is not a formal expedition, but just a movement of defense, so Xu Rui does not plan to do any pre-war mobilization. He just said a few words briefly and announced the departure. Each battalion immediately set off one by one according to the predetermined order.
, Xu Rui and the team directly under the regiment and the Langya Squadron finally set off.
Until the last moment before departure, Leng Tiefeng was still thinking about David.
"Old Xu, when did David call last time and say when he would be back?" Leng Tiefeng asked.
Xu Rui said: "I have forgotten the specific date, but I remember it was the end of July."
"It's over, this kid probably doesn't plan to come back." Leng Tiefeng said cheerfully, "What am I saying? You shouldn't have brought him the one hundred taels of gold last time. This kid must have brought him
Returned to the United States with gold."
David went to Shanghai in early May and took away 30 taels of gold as purchasing funds before leaving.
They had been there for more than two months, and just when Xu Rui was wondering if David had run away with the gold, David finally consigned a batch of weapons and equipment back from Shanghai, a total of 30 Mauser 98k carbines, with four
times the scope, it was considered an excellent sniper rifle at the time.
This batch of equipment was transported back to Dameishan District through the underground transportation line. Because it had to pass through the territory of the four detachments, Gao Hanting deducted ten pieces of equipment.
Afterwards, David sent a telegram asking Xu Rui to transport another batch of gold.
Because the 30 taels of gold that Xu Rui gave David before was gone after he purchased 30 Mauser 98k carbines. If he wanted to purchase a Gatling machine gun, he would have to send more money.
On the underground transportation line that Xu Rui passed by, a guy brought 300 taels of gold to David!
According to the price of gold at that time, 300 taels of gold was equivalent to ten thousand US dollars, which was a huge sum of money.
As for the use of this batch of gold, Xu Rui asked David to not only purchase 30 Gatling machine guns, but also hire an additional engineer who knows how to make steel. As long as David can find an engineer who knows how to make steel, he will purchase 30 Gatling guns.
The remaining money after the machine gun was all his reward.
Xu Rui plans to build a steelmaking plant in the Dameishan base area.
It is said that money can make things work. Xu Rui's move immediately boosted David's motivation. The American quickly sent a telegram back saying that he had found an engineer who knew how to make steel. Was he an American?
A top student who graduated from MIT asked for a monthly salary of US$100.
A monthly salary of US$100 was definitely a high salary at the time.
However, Xu Rui didn't think twice and agreed immediately, and asked David to advance 3 taels from the 100 taels of gold, which was regarded as a deposit for the American engineer. Then within two days, David sent another telegram
, saying that the American had agreed, and that the two of them had already set off to return to Damei Mountain, and would arrive with the equipment around the end of July.
But it was already early August, and David was still nowhere to be seen.
