Chapter 417 Chapter 416: Old Classmate (2)

There is no banquet in the world.

A group army reunion banquet ended in a mess.

Everyone is a little crooked.

There used to be many rooms in the temple for monks and pilgrims to sleep in, but half of them were destroyed by Japanese military planes during the bombing. It is impossible for all the front-line commanders and fighters who came from afar to sleep in the newly built air-raid shelter in the temple. Well, so I specially coordinated in advance a guest building with a neat appearance and an air-raid shelter below it not far from the temple, and they were specially settled in it.

Coming out of the temple gate, Li Chong shook his dizzy head, and suddenly heard a shout: "Li Chong! Old classmate!"

This shout made everyone who went out look up.

Li Chong looked up and saw a jeep parked at the intersection of the temple gate, and beside the jeep stood a young officer in the uniform of the Central Army. Li Chong recognized it after just one glance.

"Li Yinqing, why are you here!"

The two clapped their hands together.

Li Yinqing put Li Chong's shoulders on his shoulders, "Haha, it's a long story, I saw the 27th Army's convoy entering the city at the gate of the city today, and I knew you must have come, old classmate."

Right now, Li Chong didn't return to the specially coordinated accommodation with his colleagues, but got into Li Yinqing's jeep.

Li Yinqing is already very familiar with the streets and alleys of Changsha City. At night, Changsha City is under control, and all the people walking on the road are patrolling soldiers in military uniform.When it got dark, those who were still loitering on the road would be caught and shut down by these patrolling soldiers. Of course, these patrolling soldiers would not stop Li Yinqing who was driving a jeep, but would say hello.

Obviously, Li Yinqing has become a familiar face in Changsha City.

The jeep was very flexible in walking around the streets, and Li Yinqing was in charge of the helm, and then stopped in front of a building with a combination of antique and western style.

"Hey! This thick blue brick wall is surrounded on all sides, and the courtyard is three feet long. Once the gate is closed, as long as no shells fall from the courtyard, it is safe. My old family, it is amazing to have such a house in Changsha City ah!"

Li Chong followed Li Yinqing through the gate, stood in the courtyard, sighed while looking at the night sky above the courtyard.

The door of the inner room opened, and an old man came out, followed by two servant girls.

"Young master, you are back. Who is this regiment leader?"

Li Yinqing put his arm around Li Chong's shoulder and said, "Uncle Gu, this is the upper bunk of our military academy, the commander of the main force of the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions with great military exploits, and also my old family member Li Chong."

"Oh, so it's the young master's classmate, please come in, please come in."

In the living room of the back room, oil lamps and candles were lit.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Yinqing said, "Uncle Gu, ask someone to clean up a guest room."

After a while, the servants in this house thoughtfully brought tea to sober up.

"Old classmate, I have a lot of rooms here, and I can sleep in any one I want. Even now, the whole of Changsha is basically without electricity, and it is useless to install electric lights."

Li Chong took a sip of the sober tea, "Yes, you can still live in such a pleasant way in Changsha City. I knew you were a big dog in school, but now I see that you are better than that. People can settle down wherever they go. place."

"It all depends on the purchase of the family. This house was also the property of the family long ago. Just now, the family sent me to Changsha with Uncle Gu."

"I'd like to ask you, aren't you from the Fifth War Zone? Why did you come to Changsha?"

"Hey, I don't want to lie on the merits of my elders and follow the steps, but when I came to Changsha, my uncle told me to build the city wall. Anyway, I also came from the teaching team, and I didn't study civil engineering! "

Li Yinqing sighed helplessly.

"Look at you, my old classmate. It's only been nine months since you graduated from the military academy. You've grown from a major battalion commander to a colonel commander. As soon as you joined the army, you participated in the Battle of Nanchang, and now you've become the undisputed leader of the main regiment. , the speed of promotion is enviable."

Hearing Li Yinqing's tone, Li Chong smiled, "Look at your tone, it's quite sour, isn't that what you're carrying on your collar the rank of colonel?"

Li Yinqing spread his hands, "What I want is to be like you, to use my true talents and learning, and command thousands of troops to mount horses and kill the enemy."

Li Chong rubbed his chin, "Find a position in your job. Since you have such a background, why think about other things, and you can't change anything. Besides, on the battlefield, bullets will not bend because of your background. I The regiment leader was promoted in the Battle of Coffin Mountain. At that time, the regiment I was in rushed up, and in the end only two platoons retreated. As the battalion commander, I survived, so I became the regiment commander.”

Li Yinqing understood what Li Chong said, there were no promotions for no reason at the front line, every promotion meant blood paving the way, and it was a kind of happiness that he could be promoted step by step without having to experience death himself.

Speaking of death, Li Yinqing remembered one thing.

"I'm telling you something, you probably don't know about it," Li Yinqing said with a heavy tone, turning the cup in his hand, "Yu Zhenzhong, the No. Yu Zhenzhong was killed in Sui County, Hao Zhixiu was killed in Zaoyang."

Li Chong was stunned for a moment. He lost contact with each other after he came out of the military academy. He didn't expect that when he heard the news again, two of them had already ascended to heaven.

This is brutal war.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became silent.

Under night control, Changsha City was quiet.

Although the rumors of a war are getting tighter, after all, there is no war yet, and there are still many large and small households living in Changsha City.

The small households have no idea where to go when they leave Changsha because they dragged their families along, so they can only live in Changsha city day by day. Under the haze of war, the Changsha Chamber of Commerce is on the verge of collapse.

Among them, a group of large households successfully transformed and started businesses related to war materials. Through their channels, they continuously transported cotton yarn, grain and other materials to Changsha City.

The leader of these big households is now Tao Qian, the chairman of the Changsha Chamber of Commerce and the largest wealthy businessman in Changsha City.

Lin Yuan and Lin Wanru, father and daughter who arrived in Changsha by plane from Chongqing, stayed at Tao Qian's home in the north of the city as guests.

After Lin Yuan came to Changsha, he visited the officials of the logistics support department in the war zone non-stop, and Lin Wanru, who had three chapters with his father, was confined to this well-decorated bungalow, which happened to be the same as Tao Qian's beloved daughter, Tao Qian. Ning Ning has a companion.

Before the Japanese set foot on the land of China, the two presidents kept in touch with each other from time to time, and the two girls were also familiar with each other since childhood.

In a well-furnished room on the second floor of the bungalow, Lin Wanru was lying on the big bed, with her chin propped on her hands, her calves dangling, her eyes staring blankly at the flower arrangement on the dressing table, and she said weakly, "Boring, good boring!"
