A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle of crossing the river evacuated nearly a thousand civilians, eliminated more than 700 Japanese soldiers, seized weapons and equipment of three squadrons, and suffered minimal casualties. It can be said to be a great victory.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng did not stay too long on the west bank of the Nujiang River, and returned to the east bank of the Nujiang River with some of the soldiers of the sharp knife company.

Xia Chen took the special operations platoon and the remaining soldiers of the sharp knife company to stay on the west bank of the Nujiang River to train soldiers in a guerrilla manner.

When Lu Cheng returned to the east bank, he learned from veterinarian Hao, Kang Ya and others that Meng Fanle had a falling out with his old father who was conservative.

In Heshun Town on the west bank, when Meng Fanle led people to find his father, he wanted to take his parents back to the east bank directly, but his father insisted on taking the more than 1,000 volumes of books from the old Meng family back to the east bank.

Meng Fanle was naturally very dissatisfied, thinking that he should not waste time for those books and put his brothers in danger. The father and son had a conflict because of this. Finally, under the persuasion of Kang Ya and others, Meng Fanle let more than 100 soldiers, each with a dozen books, leave together.

Afterwards, Meng Fanle led people to join the guard company. When fighting with the devils, four soldiers were carrying books and moving slowly, and were hit by the devils' bullets.

Fortunately, no one died, and two soldiers were slightly injured because of the obstruction of the books.

Meng Fanle blamed his father for this, but his father was very disgusted with his son's behavior of rebelling against Tiangang, and said that two unique books were damaged by bullets, etc.

This directly angered Meng Fanle. For the first time in his life, he rebelled against his father and even pointed a gun at his father's chest. The conflict between father and son further escalated.

In fact, Meng Fanle was a little embarrassed when he saw his father.

The old Meng family was originally a scholarly family. They had considerable assets in their home in Peking and had a collection of more than 10,000 books. Meng's father had studied abroad and learned mechanics. After returning to China, Meng's father was still a professor at a university in Peking.

When Nanjing fell, Meng's father went on a hunger strike for three days and showed his determination. Later, he often cursed traitors and traitors, believing that the country had been lost and those who served as soldiers and officials should die.

Meng Fanle thought that his father had a strong temperament and would not survive in this chaotic world. He was very likely dead.

But when he saw his father again, the father who always claimed to be patriotic and denounced traitors became a pseudo-chief of the devil in the occupied area.

This made Meng Fanle very embarrassed, and he even felt that he could not raise his head in front of his brothers.

Now, seeing this father who only knows how to study and guard books, Meng Fanle finally broke out, rebelled, and finally woke up.

Just like Long Wenjian said, this country cannot do without scholars, but empty talk will ruin the country.

Father Meng is such a representative feudal patriarch. He has obviously been exposed to Western learning and has already stepped out, but he insists on his previous style, asking his son to kneel down and pay his respects when he sees him, and asking his wife to obey him.

He always talks about patriotism, but in the end he has achieved nothing and can only hide in the house and be cynical.

After seeing his father, Meng Fanle finally began to wake up. His character and everything about him are inseparable from his original family.

Now, what really makes him feel the warmth of home are the comrades around him, the brothers, and the compatriots who eat from the same pot.

Perhaps it was because of his father's stimulation, perhaps because of some words from Long Wenjian, or perhaps because of this crossing of the river, Meng Fanle began to understand how to be a good soldier? How to be a good officer?

However, Lu Cheng did not let Meng Fanle think too much, and summoned Long Wenjian, Meng Fanle and others.

"Long Wenjian, Meng Fanle, I will assign you a new task now. You should immediately arrange all the affairs of the regiment, hand over the work and defense at hand, and then take this group of selected soldiers to the Ramgarh training camp for training."

The two were a little surprised when they heard it, and Long Wenjian was a little unbelievable: "Brigade Commander, such a good thing can still be my turn?"

"You are the head of my regiment and one of the most important subordinates. Why can't it be your turn? Moreover, I will give you a task. After arriving in Ramgarh, use your eloquence to attract more useful talents. When the training is over, bring it back to me, understand?"

"Understood!"

Meng Fanle looked at Lu Cheng: "Commander..."

"Meng Fanle, you don't need to say more. I don't want to care about your family's trivial matters. Xia Shouzhong and Long Wenjian are already regiment commanders, and you are still a battalion commander. The position of the regiment commander has been vacant for you. Do you know why? Because your soul has not been completely recovered. This time you go to the Ramgarh training camp, you must train well, and by the way, find your soul back, understand why you want to be a soldier, and how to be a good regiment commander!"

"Yes! Commander! I will live up to your trust!"

This batch of soldiers selected to go for training, also a company, will be divided into three batches, one platoon each time, and will go to the Ramgarh training camp with a transport plane.

The number of places in the Ramgarh training camp is limited, and the number of soldiers that can be transported by the transport plane every day is also limited. Some other army commanders and division commanders are trying their best to send some capable officers under their command to Ramgarh for training, and strive for as many places as possible.

However, Lu Cheng had directly established a relationship with the Allied Command. With Stilwell, the Allied Commander-in-Chief, as his backer, he could arrange his soldiers to go for training at any time.

Others only have dozens of quotas for a division or even an army. Lu Cheng's brigade has already confirmed the quota for two companies, and there will be more in the future.

Even Yu Xiaoqing, who is downstream, can only hide there in envy and jealousy.

Now, Lu Cheng, who is less than 24 years old, is already a brigade commander. Yu Xiaoqing, who is in his 30s, is still a regiment commander.

Lu Cheng had just sent off a group of soldiers who went to Ramgarh for training when he received a batch of supplies sent by Catherine, including 50,000 bullets for Browning light machine guns. 100,000 rounds of 7.62*63 bullets of the US Army, which are common to Springfield rifles, Garand rifles and Browning light machine guns.

In addition to bullets, there are also a batch of mortar shells and 300 Springfield rifles.

Catherine has already contacted the US arms dealers through family relationships and some relationships with the Allied Command, and is preparing to purchase arms for a long time.

At the same time, canned food, military uniforms and other supplies will continue to be delivered.

Of course, along with the supplies, there is also a letter full of longing.

Lu Cheng also immediately wrote a long letter, expressing his longing and praising Catherine. Various compliments formed a series of beautiful parallel sentences and metaphors, which filled more than 10 pages of letter paper, highly affirming everything Catherine did.

To use a phrase from later generations, the emotional value is directly maxed out.

Not long after Lu Cheng received this batch of supplies, two more Americans took a plane and came to the 42nd Brigade.

These two people are Arthur McLuhan, the US liaison officer who later joined the cannon fodder group and attacked Nantianmen with the cannon fodder group in the original play, and Alger Collins, the mechanic.

In fact, these two people finally became members of the cannon fodder group and were abandoned on the Nantianmen as cannon fodder...
