Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1703 Expedition
After taking the oath, an order was issued to "return to the camp to pack up and have dinner immediately".Tian Liang returned to the company, and was about to tell the cooking team to have dinner quickly.

Because it was about to leave, the cooking team cooked all the good things left in the company kitchen, and the food was comparable to Chinese New Year.A large plate of grilled sausages, braised chicken nuggets, braised pork slices with cabbage... Serve them up, the quantity is enough, you can eat as much as you want.

Today's rice is also changed, not brown rice, but real white rice.Steaming.

The cooking squad leader is an old soldier who stayed in the left-behind team because he was too old. While cooking for everyone, he said seriously: "Brothers! Eat hard, you must be full. Waiting for the sea, I don’t know what to do. It's time to eat such a delicious meal!" Tian Liang saw that his eye circles were red when he was talking, and he didn't feel a little worried.

Seeing the unnatural expressions of the soldiers in the company, Tian Liang was about to say something when the cooking squad leader took out a bottle of rum and poured some for everyone.The cooking squad leader is a native of Shandong. He picked up the wine bowl and said in Newspeak with a strong accent: "Brothers are about to send troops to see the battle. I won't talk about the scene, just say a few auspicious words." As he spoke, he lifted the bowl, "I wish you all a successful start, success soon, long life, and princes forever!"

Tian Liang raised his glass: "For the Senate and the people, for victory! Cheers!"

All the officers and soldiers of the company toasted together and shouted: "For the Senate and the people, for victory—cheers!"

Finally when it was time to set off, the gate of the Ma Niao base opened, and the flag bearer was the first to walk out holding the newly awarded eagle flag of the South China Army. The red eagle flag fluttered in the sun, and the silver double-headed eagle sat on it. , with ornate golden sash and black and white ribbons hanging from the flagpole.

Under the Eagle Banner, Xi Asia is in full military uniform, riding out on a horse. Behind him is a cavalry guard composed of former Japanese horse warriors. Behind him, accompanied by the sound of drums and flutes, are companies one after another: infantry, artillery, engineers, and baggage. Soldiers...horseshoes, wheels rolling.

In the field next to the base, beside the canal, the farmers who were working straightened up, looking at a completely new look. The army with a well-groomed appearance came out of the base, one team after another seemed to be endless.From the slogans resounding through the sky, they already knew that the troops were going to march.This will see the troops come out, leave the farm work in their hands, and rush to the roadbed one after another.

The family members of the officers and soldiers whose homes are nearby had already received the news that the troops were about to depart, and waited by the roadside, hoping to see their relatives. Now that the troops came out, they ran to the side of the road one after another, Anxiously distinguishing the soldiers who walked past.

Tian Liang was walking under the banner of his company. He saw the family of Lin Fu, the new commander of the 10th Battalion: parents, wife and three children, the youngest one was still in his arms, waiting on the side of the road. , pulled Lin Fu not knowing what he was talking about.Although Battalion Commander Lin turned his face and showed an indifferent expression, but he kept stroking the children's heads, Tian Liang suddenly couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Fortunately, I am unencumbered and relaxed.he thought so.

"You guys have to come back safely, and I will burn incense for you every day when you go back..." An old woman who was often taken care of by the army finally climbed onto the embankment and said loudly.

"Goodbye folks, wait for us to come back!" A soldier said loudly.

"Big army! Go away!" The old farmer burst into tears!Neighbors are in tears!The villagers were all in tears!Men, women, old and young all shed tears of reluctance.

I don't know which company sang "Farewell to Relatives", and wrote the lyrics with the score of "Farewell to Slavic Women".

The senate calls to fight,

The soldiers left their homes and boarded the ship, and this song accompanied them to go to war.

The holy four years sing it to defend Chengmai,
Sheng Ba Nian sang it into Guangzhou,

Comrades stand up, united as one, have gone through wind and rain and hardships for many years.

Comrades march forward bravely, we rise up for the motherland and join the holy war
Comrades march forward bravely, we rise up for the motherland and join the holy war
The waves of rice in the fields are rolling, and the motherland is making great strides forward.

Defeat that enemy, praise the old people's home, and defend happiness and peace

Defeat that enemy, praise the old people's home, and defend happiness and peace

The singing became louder and louder, straight to Xiaohan.Under the blue sky, the blue-gray army is like a giant python, extending from Ma Niao all the way to Bopu.

Bopu Port is ready for the troops to go out, and there are many sails on the pier. In order to ensure the safety of transportation, all the troops transported this time use T800-class large sailing ships, and the Galen ships captured from the Spaniards were also used.The flat-deck barge of the Great Whale, which was seldom dispatched due to lack of fuel, was also cleaned up and used as a ship for carrying horses and artillery.

Stuff and artillery had been loaded onto the ship, lashed securely with ropes.The sailors waited on deck.What a beautiful day today.

The streets of Bopu, starting from a place far away from the town, are crowded with family members of soldiers and civilians who are seeing off the troops on both sides of the street.The streets of Bopu are decorated with lights and festoons, and banners and flags are hung one after another.Groups of students wearing uniforms and holding small paper flags of the Morning Star flag waved and cheered.

One side, two sides, three sides... Dozens, hundreds of military flags are flying.

These flags vary in style and pattern.There is the blue morning star national flag, the gear, wheat ears, iron fist and Fubo army flag, the army battalion flag embroidered with various patterns, and the ribbons marked with military exploits and medals, and the personal flag of the veteran... all kinds of them are in the clear sky. fluttering in the air.

Under the banner, soldiers marching in three columns accompanied by military songs, wearing brand-new five-style military uniforms, carrying backpacks and weapons, led by the officers, marched neatly along the street to the pier.

The four infantry battalions of the army: the 1st, 8th, 9th and 10th battalions, the logistics and direct units of the South China Army Command, corps and brigade, marched here from Fort Maniao.Here they will board the ship and head north to their first destination: Hong Kong.

Flags, ribbons, cheers, amidst the din, Tian Liang walked with the rhythm of the singing with his head held high, enjoying the warm eyes and cheers from both sides of the street.He felt a little dizzy, when did he receive such an honor.He just felt that his whole body was full of strength.

At this time, he saw an officer striding forward in the team ahead, and he should be a company commander or something based on his military rank.Next to him was a beautifully dressed naturalized woman who was also desperately walking to keep up with his footsteps.She is the wife of an officer, she is here to see her husband off.Looking at her figure that has been marching with the troops without leaving, I can't help being moved by how much she misses her husband.

You must come back alive, or you will fail your wife!He said silently.

In Dongmen City, one hour after the troops left the barracks, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate, Wang Luobin, wore a five-style army uniform without a military rank, and took an open carriage to the Dongmen City Gymnasium for a meeting.This place was temporarily used as a meeting place, and not only gathered most of the elders in Lingao, but also members of the councils of various counties in Hainan were called to attend.

The carriage was surrounded by 36 well-dressed cavalry, and the leading standard-bearers held the flag of the Venus, the chairman of the Senate, and the personal flag of Wang Luobin.The queue trotted down the avenue.Along the way, every household hangs the national flag.The streets and alleys are full of excited crowds, with laughter and shout signs intermingled, and bursts of cheers are coming towards the queue,

Wang Luobin's carriage came to a freight yard near the pier, which had been cleared out as a place for the expedition ceremony, and a huge colorful gate was erected in the center of the venue.A temporary rostrum was set up next to the door.When the carriage stopped under the rostrum and Wang Luobin got out of the car and waved to the crowd, there was a sudden burst of slogans "Long live the Senate" from the crowd, and then all the people shouted "Long live", countless small flags It waved desperately like a sea tide.

He boarded the rostrum, the main officials of the Senate had already arrived, Wang Luobin exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and waited for the troops led by Xi Yazhou to arrive.

The flags of the South China Army moved from far to near, and the queue came to the stage and stopped.Xi Yazhou rode a horse to the rostrum, got off his horse, pulled down the hem of his military uniform, and strode onto the stage holding his command saber.When he came to Wang Luobin, he stood at attention and saluted with a "snap", and reported loudly word by word:
"Fubo Army! Commander of the South China Army! Major General! Xi Yaya! Report to you: request permission to go!"

Wang Luobin said loudly: "Let's go!"

Xi Yazhou turned around and stepped off the stage, got on his horse, and lifted the reins.At this time, Wang Luobin took a big horn and blew the marching horn.

Woo--

The deep trumpets echoed over Bopu.

"The head of the chairman personally handles the number!"

The news, like waves rolling across the sea, spread to the crowd in an instant.

"To seize the world!"

Everyone has passed this sentence in their hearts.

"Let's go!" Xi Yazhou raised the whip in his hand.

The troops began to pass the rostrum to be inspected. At this time, the "Fubo Army Generals and Soldiers Departure Song" came out from the loudspeaker.

The whole country mobilizes swordsmen, let's go out together,

Look at how majestic the flag is flying.

Where are these people coming from?
The ends of the earth count Qiongzhou.

Soldiers and civilians must be united.
Save the country and play the vanguard.

The whole country responded to this proposition.

Now crossing the strait,
to wipe out the enemy,

Now crossing the strait,
To wipe out the enemy.

Can lead elite soldiers,
Mighty and incomparable,
The red flag is our leader, the Senate.

Restoring Bianliang City,
Go down to Youyan Land again.

Suppress the bandits and enjoy peace,
Suppress the bandits and enjoy peace.

Qi Qi went out to fight against the Eastern captives,
Give me back the good rivers and mountains of China.

Kill the Tartar soldiers and go to the Kanto together
The people cheer for our soldiers
The masses of workers and peasants must be liberated

The Chinese revolution must succeed

The masses of workers and peasants must be liberated

The Chinese revolution must succeed

At first it was the singing of the choir in the loudspeaker, and then all the troops and the farewell crowd also sang along. The singing became louder and louder, like thunder, echoing in the southeast sky.
