Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Facing the chairman's indifference, Jiang Haoran shook his head helplessly and smiled. He knew that the honeymoon period between himself and the chairman might be over in this way, and it is really unpredictable what will happen next, but one thing Jiang Haoran can be sure of. How dissatisfied the chairman was with himself, during this period of time, the chairman did not dare to touch him, because without him in the Burmese battlefield, no one could take on the burden.Moreover, even if the chairman has this idea, the Americans will not agree.

After entering the headquarters, everyone sat down one by one. When Jiang Haoran first came back, he sat in the third row behind Chen Chen, but now he is reduced to the last row. Although the contrast between the front and the back is great, Jiang Haoran really doesn’t care about these things. .

The chairman of the committee delivered a passionate speech on the stage, and highly appraised and affirmed the Wuhan battle. Yu Jishi took the lead in winning the Wuhan camp and won the first victory, followed by Bai Chongxi who defeated Xinyang and successfully sealed the battle. The enemy's retreat ranks second, followed by Yang Sen, Chen Qian, and all the troops participating in the war. Finally, the chairman of the general committee said, "The No. 40 Army is also good." Let's just take it easy. The officers and soldiers of other units have been rewarded and promoted. But the chairman selectively "forgot" the No.40 Army.

The next step is to delineate the defense area. Yu Jishi's No.19 Army is stationed in Wuhan, and Yang Sen's No.20 Seventh Army is stationed in the east of Poyang Lake, including Hukou, Pengze, and Shitai. Of course, Huangshan and Jingdezhen still belongs to the No. 40 Army's defense zone. With this arrangement, it is not difficult to see that the Chairman is trying to separate the No. 40 Army from the New Fourth Army.

To the north of the Yangtze River, the first war zone is located in Fuyang, Zhumadian, Nanyang and the Yellow River, which is the first line of defense.The fifth war zone is on the front lines of Jinzhai, Xinyang, and Xiangyang, which is the second line of defense.

As for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the chairman did not mention a single word, but everyone understood that the line from Lu'an to the Yangtze River was given to them, and the entire Dabie Mountain area became their defense area, and the Yan'an troops were considered to have established a foothold on the border between Hubei, Henan and Anhui. , They also moved from the war behind enemy lines to the forefront of the war of resistance.

After the meeting was over, Yu Jishi and Yang Sen stopped Jiang Haoran and took him to a small teahouse outside. As soon as he entered, both of them felt wronged for Jiang Haoran, and Yang Sen angrily scolded the chairman of the committee for not distinguishing between right and wrong.

Those who can get close to Jiang Haoran at this time, of course, sincerely regard Jiang Haoran as a good friend. Although Yu Jishi is the nephew of the chairman, he has always been the most important person in the eyes of the chairman, but in this matter, he I also think that the chairman is making a fuss over a molehill.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for an ace army like Yu Jishi to become comrades-in-arms in the trenches with a miscellaneous army like Yang Sen. It can be said that Jiang Haoran became the bond between them. Of course, in this battle, the two troops The cooperation is also impeccable, and the relationship is naturally closer.

Regarding this, Jiang Haoran behaved very calmly, only saying that what is clear is clear and what is turbid is turbid, right or wrong, time will eventually prove everything.

In the following time, the three chatted about the battle, analyzed the situation on the battlefield, and looked forward to the future. The atmosphere was very warm and harmonious.

The military committee had arrangements for lunch, and the afternoon was a press conference. Jiang Haoran was not interested in attending such an occasion, so he asked Yu Jishi to ask the chairman for a leave of absence, and asked Yu Jishi to borrow a jeep before getting up and leaving, saying that he still had some in the afternoon. Personal matters need to be taken care of.

When the three of them left the teahouse, Jiang Haoran bid farewell to the two of them again, raised his legs and walked a few steps before turning back, telling the two of them that what they lack in the future, Liu He will take care of them at Base 331, except for aircraft and tanks, other guns, ammunition, and artillery Drugs or something, just ask.

Yu Jishi was still calm, the Central Army's direct line troops were relatively generous, but Yang Sen was grinning so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. The Sichuan Army lacked everything. With Jiang Haoran's words, his life would be much better in the future .

Half an hour later, Jiang Haoran personally drove an American-style jeep, carrying Leng Rushuang, Mei Xiang, Mei Xin, and Xiaodao, and drove along the streets of Wuhan at lightning speed.

Jiang Haoran has not forgotten the agreement with Chi Liuqi, so he would rather not attend the press conference, but also take time to visit his old man. In the evening, he has to return to Base 331. After all, he has been out for such a long time. It has been more than half a year now, and it is time to go home and have a look.

As soon as the jeep drove into the alley in the direction of Chi's house, Jiang Haoran noticed a ghost-calling banner floating above the Chi's compound from a long distance away, and his heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that he was already late.

The car stopped at the gate of Chi's house. Zhuang Dashuan seemed to have known that Jiang Haoran was coming, and had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When he saw Jiang Haoran coming, he hurried forward and said, "Master, you are here!"

Looking at Zhuang Dashuan, who was dressed in white and wearing sackcloth, Jiang Haoran was silent for several seconds before murmuring: "I'm late?"

"The shopkeeper left seven days ago. His body is already failing. He held his breath and couldn't swallow it. He just closed his eyes until the national army entered the city. The old man told him before his death that you can't be buried until you arrive." Zhuang Dashuan helped Jiang Haoran open the car door and bowed.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Haoran walked straight in without saying a word, the courtyard was not full of guests as imagined, not even the sound of gongs, drums and suona, it was very deserted.

The mourning hall is set in the main hall, with elegiac couplets hanging high, and sacrificial curtains hanging on both sides. There are many wreaths and quilts in the hall, but it is not like ordinary people, with names and surnames that belong to a certain person.

On the mahogany funeral table, there are flowers, the lotus lamp is lit, two red candles are weeping, and the portrait of Chi Liuqi is placed in the center.

"Uncle Chi, Haoran is late!"

Jiang Haoran knelt down with a bang, and then kowtowed three times, his forehead was already red when he got up.

It doesn't matter how much relationship Jiang Haoran and Chi Liuqi have, but Jiang Haoran respects him more. Chi Liuqi was born as an eunuch, so he has no children, and naturally he has no wife. An eunuch who was tortured by the Qing Dynasty , His mind was not distorted by this, and he still devoted himself to the torrent of the War of Resistance with righteousness and enthusiasm. I am still thinking about the recovery of Wuhan. This kind of national sentiment is not much more than that of the front-line combatants, and it makes some party and state officials who are eating vegetarian meals ashamed.

In Jiang Haoran's eyes, Chi Liuqi is a hero, an unsung hero.

After kowtowing, Jiang Haoran looked at Chi Liuqi's portrait and burst into tears, still unable to kneel.

Someone came to kowtow to show their filial piety, and family members who were close relatives had to return the gift. Chi Liuqi had no children, so the task of returning the gift fell on his granddaughter Chi Xiaocui. Jiang Haoran choked with sobs and said: "Uncle Jiang, Grandpa received such courtesy from you, Izumi Youzhi should rest in peace, Grandpa has no regrets in leaving, and we don't have to be too sad for his old man."
