The rebirth of the Republic of China

There is no time in wartime, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yihua seemed to have forgotten the gaffe that night, and Liu Sheng tacitly did not mention it again. As the war approached, the throbbing of that hug was gradually buried in the deepest part of his heart .

After the Yellow River was bombed, Lu Yihua did not remain depressed for a long time. On the second day after he returned to Wuhan, a new letter of appointment was issued: Lu Yihua, the commander of the 71st Army, continued to be a lieutenant general in the army and deployed to defend Wuhan.

This is a big battle, both the enemy and us have invested a lot of troops, and many things in this life have changed. If he doesn't go all out, the outcome of the battle in Wuhan is really unknown.Lu Yihua looked down at his palm, he suddenly felt that he might be able to live a more exciting life in this life, this life is not a repeat of the previous life.

"...The military seat has never believed in fate."

When Liu Sheng came to the war room with the materials, Lu Yihua walked back and forth excitedly, and looked at the other staff officers in the war room, all of them were also very excited.Lu Yihua saw Liu Sheng coming in at a glance, took the information in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's good that Zheng Ze came here, let's take a look at this map."

Liu Sheng walked over and looked down. The map was the place where the 71st Army deployed its defenses——Shihe. They had discussed the terrain of Shihe several times before. place.But since Lu Yihua let him watch it now, it means that they found a way while he was out.

This topographical map has been turned over by Lu Yihua no less than a hundred times in the past two months, and it is full of markings in various colors. Liu Sheng analyzed it one by one according to Lu Yihua's drawing habits in his memory, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked up and said: " The military seat said, Ye Jiaji?"

Lu Yihua seemed to have expected that he would be able to guess it, and immediately said with a smile: "The one who knows me is right. That's right, it's the Ye Family Collection!"

The atmosphere in the war room was very relaxed at this moment, and the Chief of Staff of the Military Headquarters simply did his old job, took a pen and lightly traced a fan shape near Yejiaji, and said: "When Adjutant Liu went out for a while, , The commanders of the divisions who went to scout the terrain came back, and they found this place." The man tapped the map to the chief of staff, "Fujin Mountain is fan-shaped and close to Yejiaji, and it is located on the south wing of the road."

Liu Sheng stretched out his fingers to touch the fan, and pondered: "The terrain is really good, overlooking from a high place, the enemy must attack!"

Seeing their seriousness, Lu Yihua clapped his hands to attract their attention, and said with a smile: "This time, I was given such a favorable terrain. I thought I had fought all kinds of battles since the beginning of the war, but this is the right time, place and people. It’s really the first time I’ve encountered a whole battle.”

Hearing this, everyone in the combat room laughed, and Lu Yihua waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

"Order the 36th Division to be on the left and the 88th Division to be on the right. Immediately rush to Fujin Mountain to deploy defenses!"

"Order the 61st Division to defend Gushi in the north, tell Zhong Song, nail it there firmly, and you can't retreat even a single step!"

Liu Sheng wrote down what Lu Yihua said, and then asked, "Where is the 87th Division?"

"The 87th Division is on standby in case of accidents." After assigning the task, Lu Yihua smiled, "As long as we can guard for ten or eight days, the No. 12 Division's Dizhou Military Headquarters will not be able to go back .”

Afterwards, Lu Yihua took Liu Sheng and rushed to the Corps Headquarters in the mall in person. Commander-in-Chief Sun, who commanded the battle, was there. Without his order, Lu Yihua's deployment just now was actually considered an unauthorized action.

The process of explaining went smoothly. It is inevitable that Lu Yihua's one army could not withstand the two divisions of Dongjiuer Palace. After thinking about it, Commander-in-Chief Sun sent another 2 troops to move eastward, and set up a defense line behind Lu Yihua's 71st Army, ready to support at any time Fu Jinshan defended the army, and transferred the Sichuan army into the mall to fill the vacant troops, and urgently built fortifications.

After that, he also issued orders to the two armies trapped in the enemy's rear near Huoshan and Lu'an to turn westward as much as possible, and strive to be incorporated into the corps in the mall.If there is no possibility of returning, we will try our best to attack the enemy's rear reserve team and logistics supplies to attract the Japanese army to return to help, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield of the mall.

On September [-], the battle finally started.

Since the command post of the [-]th Army was located in the same village as his, after discussing with the Commander of the [-]th Army, Lu Yihua simply found a larger yard and merged the two headquarters into one to facilitate the exchange of information.

In the combat room of the 71st Army Headquarters, Lu Yihua was discussing the war with the staff around him while listening to the battle report from the front line.The atmosphere in the courtyard serving as the headquarters was tense, the sound of artillery fire echoed in the air from time to time, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Although they had already made preparations by taking advantage of the terrain, nothing was certain on the battlefield.After two lifetimes of fighting, Lu Yihua understood the enemy's fighting power very well. Once they had 10 people surrounded by 2 people and they almost ran away, which shows how strong the enemy's fighting power is.

Lu Yihua stared at the map, listened to the suggestions of the staff around him, adjusted the layout in his mind from time to time, and then spoke out his ideas and gave orders.The battle has been going on for seven days, and Lu Yihua, who only sleeps for three hours a day, has red eyes and is supported entirely by instant coffee.

It was the middle of the night at this time, and although the battle situation on the front line was tense, it was still stable. The staff officers who had stayed with Lu Yihua for a few days had already been kicked out to rest by him, and he was the only one in the combat room at this moment.When Liu Sheng came in with supper, what he saw was Lu Yihua's haggard face and greasy hair.

Liu Sheng picked up the jacket next to him and put it on him: "The military seat should be put on."

"No need." Lu Yihua blocked his arm: "It's too hot here in Wuhan, my body is so sticky, and I don't know how much soil I got on it. It's even more uncomfortable with clothes on."

Liu Sheng heard that the general's jacket was put back on the back of the chair beside him. Seeing Lu Yihua's eyes were fixed on the map, he walked over and asked, "The 36th Division has been fighting for seven days, right?"

Lu Yihua paused when he heard the words, and responded in a low voice: "Well, it's been seven days."

The 36th Division is Lu Yihua's first unit, and now he puts it in the place where the enemy's attack is the strongest because he understands the combat effectiveness of the 36th Division, but this is his family property after all, and his feelings are extraordinary. Listening to the casualties reported below, he On the surface, it is calm, but it is false to say that it does not feel distressed.

Liu Sheng naturally understood Lu Yihua's thoughts. After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "The battle situation is like this. Should we send the 87th Division up for a while? The 36th Division faced the two enemy brigades directly. The casualties were too heavy. No one would say What."

Lu Yihua frowned upon hearing this, and said coldly, "The 87th Division cannot move!"

Liu Sheng's heart trembled, and he realized the meaning of what he said just now, and stepped back angrily.How could he have forgotten Lu Yihua's professional ethics? No matter how much he cared about the 36th Division according to his personality, it was impossible for him to change troops.

The imposing guns and guns rang in my ears, and the occasional fighter jets roaring through the sky made people nervous.

After going through the deployment again in his mind, Lu Yihua suddenly realized that it was too quiet around him, and when he raised his head, he saw Liu Sheng standing aside respectfully.

Thinking of the conversation just now, Lu Yihua knowingly asked, "Zhengzheng, what's wrong?" Before Liu Sheng could answer, he stood up and walked to the only square wooden table in the room, looking at the midnight snacks on it. , smiled and praised: "Not bad, there is still something to eat at this time."

He didn't care about anything else, washed his hands casually in the basin, picked up a towel and wiped his face, sat down at the wooden table, reached out and took a steamed bun from the plate, and began to fill his stomach with two plates of pickles.

Lu Yihua came from a big family and was doted on by his parents. Although he was not rich in clothes and clothes, he was very particular about food and clothing. However, this was all before joining the army.

Back in Whampoa, it was okay to say that although the school had insufficient funds and even the teachers didn’t have good food, the old man of the Lu family couldn’t help feeling sorry for his son. He sent a lot of money to Lu Yihua, even near Guangzhou. A small villa was built on Changzhou Island, and a capable housekeeper was sent to take care of Lu Yihua's daily life.

The real hard days only started after the Anti-Japanese War. He lacked food and slept a lot. Lu Yihua completely got rid of his affliction of wealth. He simplified everything from eating to using. Now he is so hungry that he can eat porridge and pickles. It's delicious.

Swallowing a mouthful of cold porridge, Lu Yihua asked Liu Sheng to sit down while picking up some vegetables: "Don't just watch, sit down and eat something, you don't know when the next meal will be."

Liu Sheng walked over and sat down, but didn't move his chopsticks, he just said, "I'm not hungry yet, I ate in the afternoon."

Lu Yihua nodded, took another bite of the steamed bun and ate it, then smiled and said, "Are you angry?"

"I don't dare to be humble." Liu Sheng panicked, and quickly explained, "I didn't think carefully just now, and it is really not worth the loss to let the 88th Division go up."

Lu Yihua glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Forget it, don't speak in a nonchalant manner. You also feel sorry for the 36th Division, after all, it is my old army."

"Junzuo, do you really intend to only guard for ten days this time?" Liu Sheng asked after thinking for a while, "If you only plan to guard for ten days, you don't need to bother the 36th Division like this?"

Without rushing to answer, Lu Yihua chewed and drank the last mouthful of porridge, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Zheng Zheng, how long has it been since you called me Jing'an?"

Liu Sheng was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Lu Yihua. At this time, Lu Yihua put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up and walked to the conference table, and began to think about the map on the table. If Liu Sheng hadn't listened carefully, he would almost have thought that the question just now is an illusion.

Liu Sheng said, "It's been seven years."

"It's been seven years." Lu Yihua said with emotion, "At that time you said you would join the army with me, and you never called me Jingan after that."

Liu Sheng didn't know how to answer.

Back then, after Lu Yihua rescued him, he had to rush back to the troops stationed in Guangzhou, so he naturally followed, but Lu Yihua didn't let him join the army, but chose a school for him in Guangzhou, allowing him to continue his university studies It was not until graduation that he agreed to join the army under his firm persuasion.

Lu Yihua didn't like him at the beginning, Liu Sheng understood this, maybe he didn't understand it at the beginning, but after going through so many ups and downs, he saw clearly that Lu Yihua didn't think he was suitable for the army.

Liu Sheng also admitted this point. His character at the time was somewhat similar to that of Zhao Rui now. He had received higher education and liked to criticize the current situation and discuss political affairs.

If it wasn't for that time, when he suddenly found out that he had unusual feelings for this man, he probably wouldn't have joined the Kuomintang.

War will change a person's thinking to the greatest extent. After seeing a lot, he slowly discards the innocence of his youth and transforms into a real soldier. He can't say whether this transformation is good or bad, but he likes it very much. , which proves that he is getting closer to Lu Yihua.

It's just that he has changed after all, and he will miss the vigorous young man in his heart, so the first time he saw Zhao Rui, he had the most urgent expectations for him, which is strange, but he really hoped that Zhao Rui Rui can keep doing this forever.

And he changed his name to Lu Yi Huajun, just to hide the little thoughts in his heart.

At first it was because of fear, but later it was because he knew Lu Yihua too well, he didn't want to change his role from Lu Yihua's most trustworthy brother to a dispensable lover by his side, that's all.

Lu Yihua watched Liu Sheng fall into silence, and stopped teasing him, but after sitting down, without warning, he held Liu Sheng who was standing beside him, and rubbed his thumb maliciously in the palm of his hand. At the same time, God looked up at him and smiled and said, "I'll call Jing'an back in the future. I haven't heard it for so many years, so I'm thinking about it."
