Age of Rebirth

When Mei Ling said these words, he felt somewhat uneasy. When he was on the phone with his eldest sister Mei Ting in Dingbian, he learned that he was going to lead a team to participate in the war on Hainan Island. In addition to tirelessly telling him, he must pay attention to himself. Apart from safety, I didn't say anything else, and said repeatedly that my body and condition are very good, and my brother should not worry about it.

In Meiling's memory, her eldest sister is by no means such a trivial person. Even as a new student of Dingbian Military Academy, she rushed to the Shanxi battlefield. When she participated in the battle for the first time, her eldest sister just told herself, "Be brave." , be careful," and the big sister's words now subverted the image of the big sister in Meiling's mind.

The more this happened, the more sad Meiling felt. When he was in contact with his parents, he also knew that his brother-in-law and second sister hadn't returned home for a long time, and the eldest sister stayed in Dingbian alone. They are all there, but for the lack of love, although Meiling has no emotional experience, she can also feel the mood of the eldest sister.

He wanted to say to the eldest sister, "You don't have anything to say, do you want me to bring it to your brother-in-law?" But Mei Ling swallowed the words that were already on his lips. He knew the eldest sister's character, she was not a timid and indecisive person People, if you want to bring some words to yourself, don't ask yourself, the eldest sister will definitely say, because of this, Mei Ling's heart is getting more and more uncomfortable.

Today, on the Hainan Island battlefield, I met Tang Qiuli unexpectedly. I couldn't hold back the words in my heart anymore. I couldn't help pouring out, complaining and complaining for my eldest sister. After I finished speaking, I regretted it. Brother-in-law is The commander-in-chief who commands thousands of troops is preoccupied with important national affairs. How can he be like ordinary people and stay by Eldest Sister's side all day long? [

Mei Ling's words made Tang Qiuli feel dark.It has been more than a year since Dingbian left, and the pace of the battle has been hurried, and there has never been a stop.The longest time I spent with Mei Ting was in North China. Since I moved to Jiangnan and Burma, I haven't seen each other for a few days. Among the women around me, Mei Ting is in Dingbian.Mei Xue was in Kunming, only Liu Xinlan was by her side, as for Xiaoling, she had disappeared forever and became a permanent pain in memory.

As for Mei Ting, she paid the most for herself, was injured twice, and walked on the verge of life and death twice.Now that she has her own child, she should have been with her more, but there are many things.Involuntarily, they all say that daughters in troubled times are more true, but they don't know that daughters in troubled times are more bitter. The flames of war, the battlefield of life and death, less gathering and more separation, the rest is the care and longing in memory.

In the private seat of the tea house, the atmosphere was somewhat sad and depressing, Mei Ling looked at her brother-in-law's dejected expression.Feeling extremely uneasy, Tang Qiuli was about to explain something, but Tang Qiuli smiled, put aside the love for children in his heart, and gently waved towards Meiling, stopping what he was about to say.Moreover, he knew what Mei Ling was going to say, explaining it would make him feel even more guilty.

Looking at Mei Ling who was avoiding his gaze, Tang Qiuli's smile became warmer and he said, "Mei Ling, I know how you feel, so we have an agreement that after the battle of Hainan Island, we will Go back to Dingbian with you, and when passing through Kunming, take your second sister and..." He stopped talking, originally, he wanted to talk about Liu Xinlan, but in front of Meiling Not to mention that it is more appropriate, not because I feel uneasy, but because I feel that it is unnecessary.

Although Mei Ling is a boy, he has never been in love, but it doesn't mean he is ignorant of the world, has no experience in life, is no longer a young man, and has a vague understanding of the relationship between men and women. Brother-in-law didn't say any more , he probably guessed a little bit, the beautiful second lieutenant and female staff officer next to brother-in-law must have an unusual relationship with brother-in-law.

Yes, it's the eyes, the way you look at your brother-in-law. How should I put it, it's like how the elder sister and the second sister look at their brother-in-law. Should you tell the elder sister and the second sister about this matter?For some reason, Mei Ling felt a little bit jealous and angry, as well as uneasy. Mei Ling raised her head and met Tang Qiuli's clear eyes like a pool of autumn water.

Meiling's mind was instantly blurred by such gazes, and all the complex emotions were swept away. He smiled self-consciously to hide his emotional fluctuations, and Tang Qiuli sighed. Can not understand Meiling's thoughts, said leisurely: "Meiling, there are some things, you will understand in the future, only after experiencing it, you will understand better."

Mei Ling smiled, and cleverly changed the topic, instead of entangled in this legally stated question, he asked about the situation on the battlefield in Hainan Island. Two professional soldiers talked about the war, and they had endless common topics, while Mei Ling Tang Qiuli was impressed by his understanding of war and his personal experience of the battlefield environment.

He found that he didn't have much left to teach Meiling. After several years of fighting, his brother-in-law had grown into a qualified mid-level commander. Although he had a lot of ideas, he was a little stagnant, but he had a lot of ideas. With my own unique insights, Meiling will grow up quickly over time.

With an encouraging smile, Tang Qiuli looked at Mei Ling, who was talking eloquently in front of her, and felt very relieved. Mei Ling, who was encouraged, took this as a rare learning opportunity. Her brother-in-law is a contemporary A master of military affairs, the god of the enemy army who is invincible in all battles, just draws out a battle example, which is the textbook of the Advanced Command Department of the Military Academy.

Taking advantage of Meiling drinking tea, Tang Qiuli asked: "Meiling, I remember that your major in the military academy was the senior staff major. How about this? After the Hainan Island campaign, I will give you Deputy Commander Liu and Dean Jiang, go to a business transfer letter and work at the staff office of the division headquarters, where the stage will be wider and more suitable for you to display your strengths, what do you think?"

This is a very tempting opportunity. Working in the highest command organization not only has a high starting point, but also has a fast chance of promotion. When it is released again, the position will definitely be promoted. It is also different from the level of mastering the battle. Relatively speaking, the amount of information obtained will be very different. It is definitely beneficial to the growth of a mid-level commander.

In fact, what Tang Qiuli likes is Meiling's down-to-earth work style, practical experience, and his professionalism. If you want to talk about selfishness, there is still a little bit. Put it by your side and take care of him at all times. Father-in-law and mother-in-law For such a son, if an accident happens on the battlefield, and a white-haired man sends a black-haired man, how can I feel so painful in such a painful situation?

Mei Ling was obviously moved, weighing the pros and cons silently, struggling for a while, a resolute expression appeared on the young face, and with a simple and honest smile, he said to Tang Qiuli: "Brother-in-law, thank you for your kindness, let me think about it, or Train in the grassroots units for a few more years to increase practical combat experience, not to mention, my ambition is not only to be a good staff officer, but also to lead troops, and when I think I can help you, I will naturally find you!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and did not persuade him any further. Meiling had his own ideals and goals. As his supreme officer and brother-in-law, there was no reason to deprive him of the right to realize his ideals. On the contrary, he admired Meiling's ambition. In the teahouse, after talking for almost an afternoon, Meiling declined Tang Qiuli's car to take him back, and hurried back to the camp.

Liu Xinlan, who had been waiting outside, greeted her with a smile, and said, "I have talked with Mei Ling for so long, and I don't know how to take him back by car." Holding her in his arms, from Liu Xinlan's smile, he sensitively sensed the little anxiety in this girl's heart.

A few days later, troops dispatched from various field regiments of the Independent Division arrived in Hainan Island one after another. More than 30 troops entered Hainan Island one after another. Several major ports, troop carriers, and thousands of trucks came and went every day. The transport convoy was formed to send the soldiers to the designated combat area. For so many independent division troops entering Hainan Island, the local people felt anxious and expectant.

It has been a few years, since the Japanese invaded and occupied Hainan Island, the impression of the Chinese army has been blurred in the minds of the local people. Life under the Japanese rule is not easy, and there are endless donations and taxes , There are endless laborers, the Japanese can't wait to squeeze the last drop of blood from every Chinese on Hainan Island.

The Chinese army has come, and they are wearing uniforms different from those of the Central Army. What will they do to the common people?After a few days, the strict discipline of this army did not commit any crimes to the common people, which made the locals feel refreshed. Gradually, they began to contact the army without fear. [

Tang Qiuli, who was busy all day long, naturally did not know the thoughts of ordinary people. After all the troops arrived, he immediately held a military meeting attended by officers above the regiment level of the participating troops. At the meeting, Tang Qiuli deployed Hainan Island For the combat tasks in the second phase of the campaign, the troops were divided into three groups: left, middle and right.

On the left, start from Lingao, on the middle, from Tunchang, and on the right, start from Qionghai. The three armies marched together, from north to south, forming an impenetrable wall. , Gradually compress the Japanese army and continue to retreat southward. The gap between the various troops must not be greater than one kilometer, and that troop is not allowed to advance rashly.

Finally, Tang Qiuli said to the officers in a stern tone: "I hope that your commanders at all levels will never underestimate the enemy because of our strength. Everyone knows that this is the last battle on the Indochina Peninsula battlefield, so don't save it!" The idea of ​​grabbing credit, we dispatched so many troops is to train troops and exercise the combat capabilities of each unit under the conditions of the island. If that unit finds the Japanese army, it will fight hard, and I will disqualify this unit from participating in the war! Remember, we Adopting an iron wall encirclement tactic."

The teacher's words made these brigade commanders who had the idea of ​​killing the little devils in the final battle with great fun, feel cold for a while. Tang Qiuli looked at the uglier faces of the officers and said with a smile: "However, in the battle Before launching, I want to commend one person in particular!"
