Chapter 18
Hankou Hospital.
More than 100 wounded soldiers from the 19th Brigade, including the artillery company commander Hu Jie, have been discharged from the hospital one after another. The engineer squad leader Li Zihan was finally discharged from the hospital. His wound was severely inflamed and shrapnel remained in his body. He underwent three surgeries and rested for more than two months before he finally recovered.
However, it was Wang Yulan who came to pick up Li Zihan and was discharged from the hospital.
During the hospitalization period, Xu Shijiu and the old brothers from the 19th Brigade occasionally came to the hospital to visit Li Zihan, but Wang Yulan was undoubtedly the one who came the most diligently. Miss Wang came almost every day. In just over two months, their relationship had heated up sharply, and now they were quite inseparable.
"Zihan, congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital." Wang Yulan smiled and gave her a bouquet of lilies.
Li Zihan took the lily, smiled at Wang Yulan again, and said, "Thank you."
"Zihan, I have a gift for you." Wang Yulan's beautiful eyes rolled, and then took out a letter of appointment from her handbag. Li Zihan took it and saw that it turned out to be a letter of appointment as a major staff officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs. She looked up and said Li Zihan's name was written on it. The signature was clearly the Military Commission of the Republic of China, and it was stamped.
Li Zihan was extremely surprised and asked, "Magnolia, what's going on?"
Wang Yulan pondered for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Zihan is like this. My father has some friendship with General He, the Minister of Military Affairs. My father told General He about your affairs. General He felt that with your cultural level, it would play a better role in the Ministry of Military Affairs, so he decided to transfer you to the Ministry of Military Affairs."
"Magnolia, please let me think about it first, okay?" Li Zihan was in a dilemma.
It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. They can be transferred to the Ministry of Military Affairs as a major staff officer, and can also be with his beloved woman. Of course, Li Zihan is willing from the bottom of his heart, but Li Zihan really cannot give up the brothers of the 19th Brigade. Although he has not been in the long run, he has completely integrated into this group.
What's more, the 19th Brigade saved Li Zihan's life twice.
The 19th Brigade’s instructing him to never give up, and never give up. Even at the most desperate time, the brothers of the 19th Brigade will never give up easily. Even at the most difficult time, the brothers of the 19th Brigade will never abandon their comrades. Could it be that Li Zihan wants to become the first deserter of the 19th Brigade?
Li Zihan really wanted to refuse this order of appointment, but when he saw Wang Yulan's beautiful eyes full of anticipation, he hesitated.
It is the most difficult to accept the kindness of the beauty. Wang Yulan is so kind to him. I don’t know how much effort he has made for his future. I just want to say that this letter of appointment was also something Wang Yulan asked for. Can he refuse her kindness?
Luojia Mountain, Wuhan University School of Literature.
Ye Ruxue walked to the girls' dormitory gracefully, and the Wuhan University students passing by nearby looked sideways. In front of the young and tender Wuhan University girls, Ye Ruxue, with wavy curly hair, big red windbreaker and soft boots on her, was so dazzling and outstanding that even girls would be attracted to her without realizing it.
Attracted by Ye Ruxue, a boy even bumped into the sycamore tree on the side of the road.
Ye Ruxue didn't notice it at all, and a faint layer of melancholy was always shrouded on her pretty face.
Ye Ruxue should be happy, because just two days ago, on April 8, the Kuomintang army achieved an unprecedented victory in Taierzhuang, defeating the main force of the 10th Division of the Japanese army, annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, and arrested thousands of Japanese prisoners of war. This was a great victory that the Kuomintang army had never achieved before after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.
At present, the whole of China is immersed in great joy
Ye Ruxue came to Wuhan on a US warship this time, and was also to change the way to Xuzhou. She interviewed General Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and made some unknown behind-the-scenes hidden stories about the Taierzhuang victory public. Most importantly, she made the difficulties faced by the national army public to obtain greater material assistance.
But after arriving in Wuhan, Ye Ruxue was extremely angry to find that celebrities and senior officials from all walks of life had no awareness of the destruction of the country or the nation. The soldiers in front were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders, but they were drunk and dreaming of death in the rear. The soldiers in front could not even eat, but they were in the dance hall and bar laughed.
The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the national destruction, and still sings the back garden across the river. But the senior officials of the National Government and the so-called celebrities are not even as good as the businesswoman. Tang Ying is the current businesswoman, right? But at least she knows how to do her best to raise military pay for the soldiers of the National Army. What about those celebrities and senior officials? Even the donation they want to peck at the mouth
With the country's decay so much, how could Ye Ruxue still be happy?
Ye Ruxue really wants to expose all the ugly behaviors of these celebrities and senior officials through her pen, but she cannot. Once she makes these shady statements public, the confidence of the military and civilians in the country will be severely frustrated. At that time, the entire country will suffer, and the entire nation will benefit from Japan.
However, when Ye Ruxue thought of the bloody battle on the front line and was sacrificing for the country and nation, shedding blood and sacrificing for the country and the nation, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken again. When the tall, handsome and cold figure appeared in front of her, Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes were once again confused, and tears came down like pearls with broken lines.
Yes, Ye Ruxue remembered Xu Shijiu again, the officer of the Security Corps.
In fact, in the past few months, Xu Shijiu often appeared in Ye Ruxue's sleep. He stood on the Fortress Mountain, constantly whispering flags toward the artillery on the other side, firing at me, firing at me, firing at me... Every time he woke up from his sleep, Ye Ruxue found that his pillow was wet and his cheeks were full of tears.
Yu Huanxing hurried downstairs, but found that her cousin was crying silently in front of a photo.
In Yu Huan's memory, her cousin Ye Ruxue is always optimistic and happy. Because of her family background, her uncle and aunt always spoil her and coax her. From childhood to adulthood, her cousin's face is always filled with smiles. She rarely feels unhappy. As for crying, she seems to have never been in memory.
Yu Huan couldn't help but feel curious. Whose photo was my cousin looking at? Who made her sad?
He quietly walked behind Ye Ruxue. Yu Huan found that the photo was an officer of the security team. In an instant, Yu Huan understood that he must be his cousin's sweetheart, and most of whom had already died in a certain battle. Yu Huan couldn't help but sigh. She had heard that the 58th Division was going to the front line of Xuzhou after the military parade in Huangpi, and Shu Tongwen was going to the battlefield again.
Ye Ruxue turned around and saw that it was Yu Huan, so she quickly wiped away her tears, but she didn't care about putting away the photo.
"Cousin, is he your sweetheart?" Yu Huan got closer and found that the person in the photo looked familiar and seemed to have seen him somewhere. He said immediately, "Cousin, I seem to have seen this person."
"What, have you seen him?" Ye Ruxue was stunned when she heard this and said, "Impossible."
Yu Huan took the photo from Ye Ruxue, looked at it carefully, and said with certainty: "I must have seen him."
"Xiaohuan, you must have made a mistake." Ye Ruxue shook her head and said sadly, "During the Battle of Shanghai, he had already died on the Fortress Mountain where the Taiwan Cannon Taiwan. I have only seen him twice, once across the Huangpu River..." Thinking of the scene at the end of Xu Shijiushi, Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
Yu Huan was unmoved and asked again: "Cousin, what's his name?"
Ye Ruxue took back the photo, carefully put the bag in her handbag, and said, "His name is Xu Shijiu."
"Xu Shijiu? Xu Shijiu..." Yu Huan pondered for a moment and suddenly shouted, "I remember it, it's him."
Ye Ruxue looked at Yu Huan in shock, but Yu Huan said excitedly: "It's him, Awen and the captain is Xu Shijiu."
"Xiaohuan, have you really seen him?" Ye Ruxue's voice trembled. On the Fortress Mountain that day, although she had seen the cannon fire destroy Xu Shijiu's figure, she went to Wusong to verify with her division commander Zhong Song, and the news she got was that more than 300 people guarding Fortress Mountain were killed and none of them survived, but there was still a miracle in this world.
In fact, Ye Ruxue went to Wusong early. If she went two days later, she would know that the Wusong security team guarding Fortress Mountain and the remnants of U Pei were not killed. In fact, one of them survived. This person was either someone else, Xu Shijiu.
Ye Ruxue was looking forward to a miracle, but she was afraid that she would be happy in the end. She immediately said with a trembling voice: "Xiaohuan, aren't you lying to my cousin, are you?"
"It must be him, it's him." Yu Huan said very confidently, "If you don't believe me, go to Shashi with me. Then you will be able to see him. You will know that I have not lie to you."
"Let's go, let's go to Shashi now." Ye Ruxue turned around and left.
"Hey, cousin, you've gone wrong. You have to go to Shashi here."
"Okay, here, here, hurry up." Ye Ruxue turned around and walked to the other side.
Yu Huan was so happy and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are not planning to walk to Shashi, right? It's more than 200 places, so why do you have to find a car?" After a pause, Yu Huan smiled hurriedly again, "Cousin, you are so anxious to see this 19th, can't you fall in love with him already?"
Ye Ruxue's pretty face turned slightly red, and Ye said, "Xiaohuan, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't talk nonsense." Yu Huan laughed, "Look at you, it's all written on your face."
"Where is it?" Ye Ruxue muttered in a low voice, but she was a little lacking in confidence after all.
In fact, even Ye Ruxue herself didn't know whether she had fallen in love with the security officer, but it was a fact that she dreamed of Xu Shijiu countless times and shed tears for Xu Shijiu.
