Chapter 462: The Dilemma of Loyalty and Filial Piety
As the sun sets, the trenches suddenly calm down! All that was left was dozens of soldiers who were standing guard. Under the arrangement of the commander of the Third Regiment, Guo Chuanmin, the sentry was released ten miles away, and more than twenty soldiers were lying on the trenches.
All the soldiers appeared in the brigade headquarters, gathered a row of cooks, and cooked broth outside the brigade gate with a iron pot, seven or eight stacked steamers, steamed white rice, and a large oil pan, frying fragrant peanuts, and one filter bucket and one filter bucket of peanuts were taken out of the oil pan, put them in a large pot, and sprinkled with salt layer by layer.
All the soldiers surrounded them in circles, stretched their necks and swallowed.
There were six large eight-immortal tables in the brigade headquarters, and one large eight-immortal table was placed with long benches in all directions! All the lieutenants and school officials sat together, and the most one long bench was on three officers.
The school officials sat with Guo Xiaowu and sat in the lobby of the brigade department.
Lin Qiuxia opened a small kitchen, and he cooked himself and asked several cooks to help! There were dishes sitting one by one, but they were all home-cooked side dishes.
There are steamed fried sweet potato flour meatballs, green onion with tofu, green peppers with bean sprouts, fried peanuts in a large plate, fried shelled original peanuts, cold radish, stir-fried radish, and more than a dozen home-cooked side dishes. The only meat dish is the famous white-cut chicken in the south. The person who made this dish was a wounded soldier left by the former 74th Army.
There are also steamed rice and white flour steamed buns.
Because their brigade commander stepped into the ranks of generals, and the remaining soldiers were banned from the Iron Blood Brigade. This banquet directly emptied the eighth floor of the Iron Blood Brigade. After eating this meal, there was at most one day's food, and there was only some food that could be used as dry food, corn, corn, and some lowest wheat bran and bran. Again, dried sweet potatoes were dried.
So the problem facing Guo Xiaowu was very urgent. At his signal, he got enough white wine and put it out. Just looking at the wine and food, Iron Blood Farm is now rich.
Zhang Aiguo looked at the plates of dishes in front of him, and looked at two jars of white wine! His brows were frowning and he never stretched out. He bought these wines, and the money he used was exchanged for Guo Xiaowu and the only remaining goldfish, including these dishes.
As long as Zhang Aiguo knows Guo Xiaowu’s difficulties, he can do nothing.
Although the soldiers do not need military pay now, just to fight a war! But there is no word of funding, and I can’t be poor anymore, but no one can help. These things need to be taken by Brother Wu.
That night, the fifth brother gave himself a secret! If the generals gave him such face, let it go! If he didn't find the richest one to grab, he also set his sights on the Japanese army three hundred miles away.
Zhang Aiguo could guess that the guards in Nanjing are now all the same people as the voyages, and help will definitely help! But it may not meet Guo Xiaowu's requirements, and it is very likely that they will be the Japanese army.
In Lin Qiuxia, the general's wife in the eyes of the soldiers, brought the last dish to the table and opened the wine jar to pour wine into the bowl of each officer, they were flattered and stood attentively to salute, looking intimidating. This was an honor they had never received since they joined the army.
Just this action made this iron-blooded brigade, which was formed by remnants, more cohesive and made all officers feel more belonging. They felt different warmth. This warmth was not something they could enjoy. Their general treated them like brothers, so how could they not be moved?
Before they wanted to join the army, they went to their elder brother's house! When they were drinking with their elder brother, their sister-in-law would always pour a bowl of wine for themselves. The so-called elder sister-in-law is like a mother! She feels very kind.
When Zhang Aiguo got up and called his sister-in-law, the officers' eyes were wet! Looking at the general's wife dressed in ordinary women's outfits, they also wanted to call him sister-in-law. Since they joined the army, they have not experienced this kind of care for many years. The "sister-in-law" sounds like a thorn in their throats.
When Lin Qiuxia finally poured the wine for Guo Xiaowu, she finally said, "Brother, eat well and drink well. If there is not enough food, I will add it."
Just in this sentence, many officers' eyes slid down their tears, and they all endured their emotions. Even if their bodies trembled slightly in the suppression of their emotions, they did not make any sound because they were men! This long-lost family affection can only be buried in their hearts.
It's fiery.
Lin Qiuxia, wearing an apron, walked out with a kind smile.
Guo Xiaowu stood up, raised his wine bowl and said in a deep voice: "The army is our home! We are all brothers of life and death, and the Iron Blood Brigade is our home. Do you know why we would use the word "Iron Blood"?
Because we come from different places, we crawled out of the bones on the cruel battlefield, and behind us are thousands of brothers who died in battle, and as long as we can call it the word "iron blood", you and I have the blood of the dead brothers.
Now, let us raise the wine! Give the first bowl of wine to our brothers, do it!”
The officers' eyes were red and tears kept rolling down! Many of them were on the battlefield, and their brothers blocked bullets for them. When the bomb exploded, they were there today and they stood alive today.
"Dry!"
The officers roared in unison, their voices were sad and sad! They raised the wine bowl high with their brigade commander, raised it above their heads, and then turned around together, facing the direction of Shanghai, and spilled the wine in the bowl to the ground.
The wine is clear, but when this clear wine drips to the ground, it reflects the cruel battlefield, the fierce sound of cannons, the sound of tanks, the buzzing of bombers, and the roar of light and heavy machine guns...
"A general's success has been done, and his bones are woven, and his horse is wrapped in a corpse is also miserable! He is in dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, and died in a foreign land, and he drove away Japanese slaves without hesitation. The war is burning for the ages, and the sound of cannons is rumbling and he never admits defeat... I am still there when I am dead! I hold the gun and fight again.
Brothers! Pour the wine."
Guo Xiaowu sighed to the sky, grabbed the wine jar and poured the wine bowl, and raised it high: "The second cup is not respectful to the sky, respect your parents! If you die in battle, forgive your unfilial piety, do it!"
Guo Xiaowu fell down, and the officers knelt down immediately, and under Guo Xiaowu's leadership, the drinks fell to the ground! He kowtowed three times at Zhengtang.
The officers could no longer help crying, and they called their parents in their hearts! Recalling their white-haired and old-fashioned parents, their hearts were stirred up, and tears rolled down their faces.
Guo Xiaowu trembled his lips, gritted his teeth, and stood up. He filled the third glass of wine. At this moment, they watched the brothers get up one by one, pour their wine, and the sound of wine entering the bowl sounded.
"Brothers, this third cup of wine to myself! I am still alive now, I am still able to fight the Japanese, I am willing to do this for the sake of the people of the country, without any resentment in life and without regrets in death." Guo Xiaowu's voice calmed down.
"No resentment in life, no regrets in death!" The brothers said in a deep voice.
"Damn!" Guo Xiaowu said proudly.
"Do it!" The officers responded in unison, and expressed their passion that they were an iron-clad man.
