The rebirth of the Republic of China

When the 36th Division wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army, Lu Yihua had already made arrangements for Baoshan. Lin Wei’s staff team was still here, and Lu Yihua didn’t mind. There was no conflict of interest between them. It was not unreasonable for Lin Wei to sit in his current position .

"I came here when I was studying, and Baoshan was very prosperous at that time. Oh, it's there." Liu Sheng pointed in one direction, "Look, there is a street that runs through the city and it is very lively. We visited many places together."

What Liu Sheng said was about his trip to Yunnan in middle school. Lu Yihua knew about it, and when he heard him mention it, he looked in the direction he pointed, but Tao Jinchu said, "No wonder I think Zhengzheng knows more about this place than we do. Duo, so you have been here before?"

Surrounded by high mountains, Baoshan is a long flat dam. It is said that in ancient times Zhuge Wuhou passed by here during his southern expedition, and it is the site of Dianjiangtai and Zhugeying.The memory of many years ago is not very clear, but Liu Sheng knows that it will never be the desolate and miserable state it is now.

For a moment, the belief in Liu Sheng's heart was shaken for a moment. He thought it was unbelievable, but found that this kind of wavering really existed.

Lu Yihua once asked Liu Sheng when he was confused, and Liu Sheng told him at that time: The military seat does not believe in fate.

This was Lu Yihua's own idea, and Liu Sheng firmly believed in it. He may have been in awe of gods and Buddhas because of his family education in the past, but these awes disappeared long after his family was destroyed.The so-called national treasure, the biggest one stolen by Takeuchi Yuki is a graceful Buddha statue.

Mrs. Liu liked to worship Buddha when she was alive, and she even built a Buddhist hall at home. At that time, Liu Sheng had believed in Buddhism with her mother, while Liu Yu received Western education since she was a child. She believed that such behaviors were feudal superstitions. Quite disagree.

At that time, Liu Sheng was still young, and he was very angry with his sister's remarks. He thought that his sister did not respect his mother, but Mrs. Liu was not angry. She just said to her children: We must always maintain awe in our hearts. , or the justice of the world, or other beliefs, there must always be something that makes you awe-worthy.

Liu Sheng believes in Buddhism because he wants to accompany his mother to relieve loneliness, not because he believes in the words of gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. He heard his mother say so that time, but he began to feel that it made sense.After all, these are just sustenance.

After throwing away the gods and Buddhas, Liu Sheng's sustenance is the hatred of the country and the family.

Back then, he was able to abandon the Communist Party and join the Kuomintang because of Lu Yihua; but it was because of Lu Yihua that he gave up the easy life at hand, disregarding Lu Yihua's persuasion, and joined the army without hesitation.

He loves Lu Yihua, and their beliefs are so the same - keep the enemy out of the country, these words seem ethereal and unreal in peacetime, but in troubled times it is a dream settled in the heart.

Sometimes Liu Sheng feels lucky. From the beginning to the end, he and Lu Yihua walked on the same road: they are brothers, and they will never regret their necks;

Liu Sheng firmly believed in this, so he never doubted or felt uneasy. He might have been confused at first, but he could see it more clearly afterward. Perhaps even Lu Yihua himself didn't understand these things clearly, but Liu Sheng clearly knew that he had two paths.

It's not fair, sometimes Liu Sheng thinks this way, his other half has been trapped in the fog of emotion, but he is so lucid.But in life, the word "fairness" is nothing. Liu Sheng has long since ceased to be attached to these things. He only knows that no one is more suitable for Lu Yihua than him, and no one will love Lu Yihua more.

Tao Jinchu bent down to pick up a moment of shrapnel, and after taking a look at it, he turned his head and said, "At the beginning of the year, Baoshan was bombed by Japanese planes, and the houses in the city were destroyed—"

Lu Yihua had been paying attention to Tao Jinchu's words, and heard the sound in his ears. Before he raised his head, he heard Tao Jinchu's questioning voice, "Regular?" Looking at the pile of ruins, he was lost in thought. It seemed that he didn't hear Tao Jinchu's words at all.

Frowning, Lu Yihua took a few steps closer and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Regular?"

Liu Sheng was startled, turned his head to see Lu Yihua standing beside him, turned his gaze and saw Tao Jinchu also frowning at him, and realized that he was thinking too far: "After running away for a while, I remembered some things from the past. .”

Lu Yihua looked at his face, but didn't say anything in the end, but let Tao Jinchu continue the topic just now.

Baoshan City was bombed by planes on January [-] this year. In addition to the houses, the bustling streets in the city were also greatly damaged, especially one of the most bustling streets was almost completely burned down by incendiary bombs.

Lu Yihua looked at it with a glance, and there seemed to be no end to the mound of rubble, and there were many corpses that had not yet been buried.

After turning around, Lu Yihua was led to the southeast of the city again, where refugees who fled to Baoshan from Burma, Wanding, Mangshi, Longling and other places after the war gathered. These refugees built tents in the southeast of the city, some Those surrounded by a simple wall, or a family or a few friends live together, the situation is very bad.

Lu Yihua and his party were all wearing military uniforms. Although the car was parked far away, Liao Guoqing and the others followed nearby. The sharp-eyed refugees in the shed had already been looking this way.Seeing the situation, Liao Guoqing was a little worried, and stepped forward two steps: "Commander, here... there was an assassination in Kunming a few days ago, be careful."

"It's okay." Seeing that Liao Guoqing was still going ahead, Lu Yihua smiled, "Don't worry, if those people are still there, they will do sabotage as early as when we mobilize the vehicles to transport the army. The division may not arrive at Huitong Bridge in time, so how can we win?"

The battle of Huitong Bridge was very important. It was precisely because of the actions of the 36th Division that the battle situation improved. From the Japanese army's unilateral attack, it became a confrontation between the enemy and ourselves on both sides of the Nu River.Lu Yihua grasped the situation carefully. He understood that even if the Japanese army crossed the Nujiang River, it would not really endanger Chongqing, but at that time it would be the people who would suffer.

However, Lu Yihua sneered in his heart. After Lashio fell, some people in the party proposed to move the capital from Chongqing. What a joke!When Mr. Sun, the former prime minister, passed away, he warned his principal about the problem of war: "Foreign troubles live in Sichuan, and internal troubles live on the island."

Foreign troubles live in Sichuan, and internal troubles live in the island, which can be described as good words.

Lu Yihua let the murderous Liao Guoqing stay where he was, and walked to the shed with Liu Sheng, while Tao Jinchu went to watch by himself.Liao Guoqing was very nervous, observing the situation around him vigilantly.

A large number of refugees gathered here, and these refugees gathered together in a few or a dozen, and there was a sour smell in the air.Lu Yihua looked around, but fortunately there were no dead bodies. The weather was hot at this time, and the outbreak of the disease would be difficult to control.

Liu Sheng also noticed these situations, and he frowned and said, "No one cared about these things before? I think fortunately this area is still open, otherwise..."

Liu Sheng's worries were the same as Lu Yihua's. As a group army commander, Lu Yihua would not have enough time to resolve these matters.Yan Fang has sent back the news through the intelligence team that the Chongqing side underestimated the battle and may issue other orders.

And Lu Yihua didn't have much hope for the telegrams he sent before, he was rejected a lot, it seemed a little bit of a habit.

Lu Yihua and Liu Sheng wandered around between the sheds. They didn't take the initiative to speak, and the refugees didn't say anything, but they all looked this way curiously. Lu Yihua turned around and saw a little girl with braids lying behind a tree. Stretching his head to look at him, he smiled and waved at the little girl: "Little girl, come here."

Liu Sheng also looked over, the little girl was a little hesitant, her face was washed very clean, but her clothes were dirty and torn.Liu Sheng looked at himself, and sure enough, he saw several middle-aged men looking at the girl worriedly, and a middle-aged man being stopped by Liao Guoqing.

Liu Sheng understood a little bit, and after talking to Lu Yihua, he walked towards the middle-aged man who was embraced by Liao Guoqing.If you ignore the clothes, this middle-aged man is still very generous, Liu Sheng asked: "Sir, do you know that little girl?"

It seemed impolite for Liu Sheng to speak like this, but this is not a social occasion after all, he didn't care, the anxious middle-aged man naturally wouldn't ask for trouble, so he forced a smile on his face and said, "That's my youngest daughter, go back on the way Distressed, now penniless, I can only stay here first, and make the chief laugh."

"Going back to China?" Liu Sheng asked, "Is this gentleman an overseas Chinese from Myanmar?"

"Yes, there are many more here, all overseas Chinese from Myanmar. After the war started, many people rushed to the country, but, hey..." The man sighed and said, "Can you please take me to see my daughter, sir?"

Liu Sheng smiled and moved out of the way: "Go this way."

"Not a small part of these people are overseas Chinese. They returned from Myanmar after the war." Liu Sheng returned to Lu Yihua's side, and after he left the little girl, he said, "Before Long Kuiyuan was stationed on the border of Yunnan and Burma, and there were also people in the Baoshan area. His people, since the enemy came, this Long Kuiyuan ran away with his soldiers, and ransacked all the refugees he encountered along the way, these people probably met him."

Lu Yihua's face was gloomy. These refugees lost all their belongings. Some of them hadn't eaten for several days, some were sick, and most of them couldn't even find a place to eat and lodging, or even worse.

These things may have been missed due to the fierce battle on the front line, so Lu Yihua was not angry at the beginning, but when he heard that there were stragglers who were blackmailing and looting the refugees' finances every day, he had a bad face.

Most of these people are soldiers who have retreated from Burma. Due to the absence of military accommodation and lack of restrictions, they gather in groups of three or four, with lax discipline. When they have time, they go to the countryside to rob food, shoot guns at will, and make trouble. The people in the village were panicked.

This kind of thing made him feel embarrassed, and Lu Yihua's heart was very stuffy.
