Chapter 484 Going Home for the Holidays (1)

Li Chong's answer made Chen Tinghe envious. It is undoubtedly a luxury for soldiers to go home for the Spring Festival after joining the army.

Having partnered with each other for almost a year, Chen Tinghe naturally knew some of Li Chong's background, and admired Li Chong's foresight to relocate his family from the coast to Chongqing in advance.

Fast forward 31 years to the last day of the year. On the night of the [-]st, Li Chong took out a thick diary in his room, pulled out a pen from the light, and prepared to summarize the whole year.

"On February 2rd, I came to the Temporary Brigade after finishing the Yougan class. It has been ten months, and the time has passed quickly."

"In this year, there was no great war, and the situation of the national war of resistance was stalemate. Although one of our generals was killed, the Japanese did not make much progress in the general situation; personally speaking, the Japanese have not attacked Changsha for a long time. , which made me live quite comfortably, I gained ten catties, and I can still accept the weight."

"Needless to say the welfare benefits of the direct line army, the military salary alone has saved a thousand silver dollars. There is not much money to spend in the army. Haha, being an official in the direct line of the Central Army is still a very profitable way."

"Tomorrow is a brand new year. I am looking forward to it. I can go back to celebrate the New Year this year. I left the Tongling Central Military Academy at the end of the 27th year of the Republic of China. It has been more than two years since I went home. The joy and anticipation in my heart cannot be written. "

"."

Putting down the pen, under the yellowed oil lamp, he closed the diary. Li Chong lay on the bed, gradually falling asleep.

Wake up to a brand new year.

Just as the officers on the ground outside Changsha were training their troops and preparing to look forward to the holiday that would start in the middle of this month, a piece of news spread from Maolin to the north and south of the river.

The "Sanxiang Daily" reported in a large and eloquent manner between the lines: ".The seven divisions of Gu Changguan's Department in the Third War Zone heroically successfully wiped out the Red Bandit Army Headquarters and its southern Anhui troops."

When Li Chong saw this report, the first reaction in his mind was that after the battle of Huangqiao, the Chairman who had been brooding over him really found a chance for revenge this time.

This kind of news is like a storm since the beginning of the year. The leaders of the Red Party sent a telegram to the whole country about the beginning and end of the incident. The soldiers at the grassroots level could not see it, but the officers who reached Li Chong's level could know it.

At the table, no one discussed this matter in depth.

From a military point of view, as far as the whole story announced by the Red Party is concerned, this is a shameless conspiracy. First, the New Fourth Army was moved, and they agreed to move the site. As a result, on the way to move the site, seven divisions Just stole it on the way of the New Fourth Army's migration.This kind of back-and-forth behavior made it difficult for even the officers of the Central Army to have the face to say it.

From a political point of view, this is obviously a political dispute. As a soldier, especially an officer under the Chongqing Chairman, it is taboo to play politics.

The army is cautious about this matter, but the outside world has already exploded.

Under the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing's move was not only untenable in terms of national justice, but also in terms of methods, it was extremely criticized by many people with lofty ideals.

Seeing that the public opinion was directly dumped on the side of the Red Party, the chairman of the committee specially held a press conference and announced the cancellation of the designation of the New Fourth Army because the New Fourth Army had "rebelled".

As soon as this statement came out, there was another uproar.

New Fourth Army mutiny?This statement is considered nonsense by the Japanese.

For a while, the newspapers of the Red Party and people with lofty ideals all printed the four bold characters of "Eternal Strange Injustice".

This incident alarmed the Americans on the other side of the ocean. The American representative stationed in Chongqing bluntly stated that there should be no friction between the two parties at this moment when they are working together to resist the Japanese.

Because of this incident, the newspapers have been full of turmoil since the beginning of the year.

However, this incident did not prevent the officers in Changsha City from taking a holiday for the Spring Festival. Given the geographical distance, the discord between the two parties since the beginning of the year did not affect the daily life of Changsha City.

On this day of the new year.

At the Changsha suburban airport, Li Chong and Li Yinqing got on the plane, each with a guard. Besides these four, there were more than ten passengers on the plane, all of whom were going to Chongqing.

Li Chong was wearing a brown-green coat over his military uniform and stepped onto the ladder, followed by guard He Maoping carrying a rattan box.

A moment later, the plane roared into the sky, heading straight into the sky.

In Chongqing City, there are still six days until New Year's Eve.

The stalls for writing couplets on the side of the street have been rolled out, with a table, a stack of red paper, a brush and a plate of ink, and for a little money, the couplet writers can write a few beautiful couplets.

No matter how many bombs Chongqing City has suffered in the past year, together with the smell of Laba porridge, the whole dilapidated city with vitality began to waft the smell of Chinese New Year.

At the foot of the Pearl Mountain, Chen Yueying was leading a big fish weighing more than eight catties, and Li Zhixin, who was following behind, was carrying a small fish in the tin bucket.

"Oh, Aunt Li, I bought such a big fish today."

Seeing the big fish with its tail trembling in Chen Yueying's hand, walking all the way from the foot of the mountain, the neighbors on both sides looked at it and said.To explain the Chinese New Year tomorrow, it is reasonable to buy such a large fish, but after all, there are still six days before the Chinese New Year.

Nowadays, prices in Chongqing city are skyrocketing. Even if Chongqing has abundant water systems and easy catches, such a large fish will cost ten yuan upwards.In fact, buying fish can be done by the servants of the family, but knowing that the eldest son is coming back, Chen Yueying still has to go to the fish stall to buy the freshest fish.

Chen Yueying smiled, and Chen Zhixin beside him said happily, "My elder brother is coming back today!"

"Ah! Terrible, the boss of the Li family is coming back!"

There was a tut-tsk sound in the air.

Compared with the old family who don't know what Li Chong is doing now, the family in Chongqing, including the neighbors around, know the identity of Li Chong. In the tenth army of the army, he was the deputy brigade commander.

In the Battle of Changsha, the prestige of the Tenth Army and the 74th Army was publicized throughout the country.

Invisibly, this identity is also a deterrent. Some other households may be harassed by gangsters, but around the Li family, no gangsters have ever come to the door, or even walked around.

"Uncle Liu, is the car fueled?"

Lin Wanru was wearing an indigo plaid coat, a woolen hat on her head, and a thick sky-blue scarf around her neck in the Lin family, which was tens of meters away from the Li family, ready to pick her up at the airport.

Caiyun, a maidservant standing aside, tugged at her lady's sleeve and reminded her, "Miss, the plane landed at five o'clock, and it's only two o'clock now."

Lin Wanru frowned, "Is it so slow?"

The maid Caiyun nodded, "Miss, go inside and wait. The plane lands at five o'clock, and we have time to go to the suburban airport at three o'clock. It's quite cold outside."
