my bright sword career

Chapter 76 Leaked News
Accompanied by the low and solemn lights-off signal, the six soldiers standing beside the coffin simultaneously raised the flags covering the coffin with their white-gloved hands, and then gently closed the flags along the center line. The soldiers followed the standard In the step of folding the flag, stand on both sides of the coffin with six hands crossed, and gently dismantle the flag into a triangular shape.

The flag folded into a triangle was folded by the leader's arms and hugged on his chest, and he walked slowly towards a skinny old man and a young woman holding a child standing beside him.

The white-haired old man had a dark complexion, and his old wrinkled face looked at the corporal's lips moving towards him, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

The corporal stood still in front of him, and said slowly in a low tone: "This flag is dedicated to you in the name of a grateful country and the Liantai County militia! It is used to thank your son for his honor and loyalty to the country." And honorable service, I would like to use this flag to express the gratitude of the whole country and the Liantai militia to him."

The corporal in a straight uniform held the flag and bent over the old father.

His voice trembled a little, as if he remembered Pao Ze who had fought bloody battles with him at Qixia Pass a few days ago, so that his hands holding the flag trembled a little.

The old man stretched out his hands tremblingly, caressing the flag made of silk and satin, as if seeing his son's simple and honest smile, he could no longer hold back his tears.

And behind him, the infant child suddenly burst into tears, so that the mother, who was holding back her tears, also burst into tears.

This farewell method Gao Hongming refers to the method of Laomei’s later generations. Even though Laomei is not good in every way, he has done a good job in this aspect. This method is very effective in gathering the will and sense of honor of the army.

This time, more than 260 soldiers and officers of the Liantai militia died in the battle. Gao Hongming sent someone to ask the opinions of their families in advance. Most of them agreed to bury their relatives in this cemetery. The ancestral grave.

For the latter, Gao Hongming did not insist, and specially invited the family members to send these martyrs on their last journey.

Sun Chu, who saw this kind of funeral for the first time, and the officers of the Jinsui Army were both shocked and somewhat envious after seeing this scene.

A colonel following Sun Chulai watched silently all the time, and suddenly said: "If I die in the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future, and my brothers can hold such a funeral for me, then I will die without regret."

Everyone was silent... To be honest, isn't such a funeral just what a soldier with ideals and ambitions dreams of?

But looking at China today, it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to have such a funeral.

The funeral lasted for half a day, and it was already noon when it ended.

Gao Hongming invited Sun Chu and a group of people to his Gao family's old house, and set up a banquet in the front yard to entertain him.

After the food and wine were served, Sun Chuxian held up his wine glass and said to Gao Hongming: "Hong Ming, I would like to say a few words before the banquet. I came here this time as entrusted by Chief Yan to apologize to you on his behalf. .

The reason why your regiment was attacked by the Japanese army this time was because Tan Xiwen, the head of the 648th regiment who was stationed at Qixia Pass, accepted a bribe of 3000 yuan from the Japanese and led the 648th regiment out of Qixia Pass under the pretext of a military exercise. Sneak in.

Chief Yan was furious when he learned of this, and ordered me to arrest Tan Xiwen, who was executed by shooting the day before yesterday.

Of course, we also know that just shooting Tan Xiwen can't make up for your loss, so Chief Yan said, you can ask for anything, as long as it doesn't violate the principle and is not beyond his ability, he will agree to you. "

The surrounding military officers who followed Sun Chu heard this and showed envy in their eyes. As we all know, big bosses usually never make promises easily, but as long as they promise, they will definitely do it.

Like Gao Hongming, whenever he just said that I want to be promoted, the teacher dare not say that, a major general and brigade commander will definitely not be able to run away.

It's just that Gao Hongming's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, and he shook his head lightly: "Thank you for the kindness of Officer Yan and Officer Sun, since the head of the regiment surnamed Tan has obeyed the law, this matter is over.

If I have to make a request, I haven't made up my mind yet, or I can ask Officer Yan after I want it, do you think it's okay? "

Sun Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, then remember this matter first, and tell Chief Yan when you have made up your mind. Chief Yan also said that as long as he is still in charge of Shanxi for a day, That promise remains valid."

"Okay...Then I will trouble Officer Sun to thank Officer Yan for me...Come on, let me toast you."

"Okay, do it!"

Sun Chu drank the wine in the glass in a very face-saving manner.

After the meal, Gao Hongming invited Sun Chu to his study.

After the two sat down, Qin Xiulian personally made a pot of tea for them.

Sun Chu looked at Qin Xiulian for a while and then sighed: "I have heard that brother Gao married a virtuous and virtuous wife who lives in an IKEA house and manages Gao's family in Nuo Da in an orderly manner. Seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

Qin Xiulian pursed her lips and smiled: "Officer Sun, I'm overwhelmed. You are Chief Yan's confidant and favorite general, and your colleague is also the deputy commander of the Sixth Army. It can be said that you are a high-ranking officer. Our family Hong Ming still has a lot to rely on you."

"You are wrong." Sun Chu laughed and shook his head: "Brother Gao once again severely damaged the third regiment of the Japanese Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade at Qixia Pass two days ago, and killed its new commander. .

In just two months, he had lost two consecutive captains of the third regiment. This record is unique in the whole country. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero of the War of Resistance. "

Hearing how Sun Chu praised her, Qin Xiulian was overjoyed, happier than she was being praised.

But the good education she received since she was a child enabled her to maintain a good manner. She smiled slightly, "Mr. Sun, talk to Hong Ming slowly, and I'll go out first."

"Walk slowly!"

After Qin Xiulian left and closed the door, Sun Chu praised: "Brother Gao, you married a good wife."

"Sir, I'm honored." Although Gao Hongming was happy in his heart, he was still humble.

After chatting for a few more words, Sun Chu finally asked: "Brother Gao, besides the matter of Qixia Pass, I have one more thing I want to ask you this time."

Gao Hongming said: "Sir, please tell me."

Sun Chu slowly suppressed the smile on his face: "Brother Gao, I heard that you have been very close to the Eighth Route Army during this time, and you have given them a lot of things, is that so?"

Hearing this, Gao Hongming was startled. His first reaction was that someone from Li Yunlong had leaked the news.

But then he immediately figured it out, it should have been leaked from within himself.

　Khan, it has been changed!
