Chapter 17

During the Chinese New Year this year, three of our friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time finally got together.Perhaps just like the truce between Britain and Germany at Christmas, the Japanese army miraculously did not come to harass us as the year approached. I held up my glass and said, "This is really a miracle."

Chen Jingyu didn't give me any face, dragged me to sit on the chair and said with a sneer: "They want to hold back a big move."

Since the autumn of the 29th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army has harassed the area in northern Hunan with small-scale operations. As winter gradually entered, the Japanese army’s operations became more and more frequent, and we broke out several small-scale conflicts.

As soon as Chen Jingyu finished speaking, the table fell silent, Wu Yingtang frowned and said worriedly: "They probably will attack Changsha soon."

"The first time you ran away in embarrassment, don't you give up?"

Chen Jingyu glanced at me, and said with a sarcastic smile: "If they don't conquer the whole of China, how would they know to give up this idea, and they won't be afraid to die if they have a big appetite."

Wu Yingtang gave me a dish with chopsticks, and asked Chen Jingyu casually: "But I heard that we will be transferred to Shupu for training after the end of the year?"

"The staff department only got an order saying that before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the chairman of the committee will come over for a military parade." Chen Jingyu picked a few large pieces of meat from her bowl and gave them to me: "You are well-informed?"

Wu Yingtang laughed a few times: "After all, I have a lot of contacts. I heard from the brothers of the third division. His source of information is Master Zhou."

"The Zhili troops in the war zone, with German equipment, are the chairman's favorite." Chen Jingyu said indifferently: "It's not impossible to pull them to the rear to preserve their strength."

Wu Yingtang looked at her strangely: "Don't you know that after training, we will go to Burma to fight?"

"The international roads in the Southwest are dangerous. The British are used to living a dignified and luxurious life in the colonies. The devils surrendered as soon as they attacked, thinking that those inhuman things would really abide by the "Geneva Convention." A bunch of idiots, in the end, we have to rely on us Clean up the mess." Chen Jingyu sneered: "The national government is trying to draw Britain and the United States into its allies, and it has to guard the rear transportation line. At this time, it is best to help the British to pacify Burma."

I didn't know what they were talking about. I tugged on Chen Jingyu's sleeve to ask her to give me an explanation, but Chen Jingyu just gave me another chopstick and didn't answer me.No matter how stupid I am, I can still understand that what they are talking about now is news from their own homes, and the level of confidentiality is beyond their knowledge.

Wu Yingtang took a sip of wine from his glass. Our division prohibits alcohol on weekdays, and only during the few days of Chinese New Year can we drink it during idle work. "The Expeditionary Force Program of the Ministry of National Defense has a majestic name."

"We need a victory to inspire people. After all, we have lost so badly in the past hundred years." Chen Jingyu poured wine for Wu Yingtang, "Just don't say a few words when drinking, how can you, a school official, judge these things."

"Fairness will be judged by future generations!"

"Then there must be descendants. If the country is subjugated, where will the descendants come from? It's just a bunch of bereaved dogs."

Wu Yingtang fell silent, and hiccupped, "Forget it, what are you talking about. We just obey orders."

Chen Jingyu also poured the wine himself, raised the glass and asked, "Have a drink?"

Wu Yingtang got up halfway, "I just thought about the toast." The three of us touched each other, and he said, "Congratulations on our successful survival and another year of living."

I drank half of the glass and wanted to touch Chen Jingyu again. When I turned around, I saw that she was holding the wine glass and looking at me, her eyes sparkled, and her lips were full of deliciousness after drinking.I clinked glasses with her and heard her ask, "What about you? What blessings do you want to give me?"

I thought about it and said, "May you be able to stand in the post-war hall."

She smiled, drank the wine in the glass, her eyes were as bright as washing: "You too, wishing to receive the light in the courtyard to shine everywhere."

Years later, our army went to Yuanling and Taoyuan to prepare for the military parade before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. When Wu Yingtang found out about this, he was so childish that he went to the staff headquarters to find Chen Jingyu himself. Come out and throw it to Wu Yingtang: "The information is good."

I covered my belly and laughed, put my arms around Chen Jingyu's shoulder and said, "Wu Yingtang is very self-restraining for not throwing white gloves at you."

Chen Jingyu let out a short laugh from his throat, which was more mocking: "He can also be childish."

During the training period, we expanded our weapons a lot. The commander of the army ordered a batch of Czech light machine guns. The pre-[-]th division was a German division formed by Commander Fang. The non-commissioned officers had a high level of education. There are a lot to come.

But I didn't have the right to touch it. Chen Jingyu forbade me to touch it. She said I was wasting bullets.

I snorted: "Logistics quartermasters also have human rights!"

She laughed, and pulled out the saber at her waist to please me: "Let me teach you melee combat."

I followed her from the beginning to the end of the training, and she told me on the last day: "If one day you use it, it means that you have run out of ammunition and food, and you are the only one around you you can rely on."

I was eager to try: "I will kill more Japanese with this saber."

She shook her head, and suddenly reached out to caress my neck, her fingertips stroking my skin, and I got goosebumps all over: "What are you doing!"

"Your carotid artery is here." She said, "I just want to tell you that if you make a hard cut here, you will die faster, and Japanese military doctors can't save you."

So I say I hate her and she keeps teasing me.

The Japanese army attacked Changsha for the second time in the early autumn of this year. Our original plan was to go directly to Burma after the military parade. In Chen Jingyu's words, it was to implement the "expeditionary army plan". Instead of coming to Changsha, our army will gather directly at Hengshan to control Changsha and Zhuzhou.

However, on the eve of the meeting, our army received an order from the theater headquarters to send the whole army to build fortifications along the line from Gaoqiao to Fulinpu.The Pre-tenth Division deployed defenses in Jinjing, north of Changsha. Later, it was heard that Xue Yue planned to drag the front line from Imai to the east-west line of Yuehan Road, so he transferred the Pre-Tenth Division to Imai for reinforcements.

Our division was transported by vehicle to Tianxin in the northwest of Zhuzhou. After getting off the vehicle, we took the mode of rapid march. Unfortunately, it was still raining and the road was muddy. I was better off. I basically went into battle lightly. I also had raincoats and didn’t need any guns and supplies. I carried it on my back, but most of the whole division was armed with guns and live ammunition, and the rainproof equipment was not enough. Their whole bodies were soaked and dried by body temperature. Many soldiers dozed off while walking.

Our division was stationed in a village along the river in the northwest of Jinjing. Chen Jingyu and I shared a separate courtyard, and the staff headquarters was also located here.The division headquarters is in the yard next door, and I set up the radio station there. If one day the defense line of the division headquarters is breached, the radio station can only be used to send suicide notes.

That night, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep after finishing the radio. I felt someone beside me in a daze. My collar rubbed against the back of my neck a few times. In the past, I vaguely heard someone say in my ear: "Hey, take off your coat before going to sleep."

The voice was soft, and Chen Jingyu's face flashed in my mind, but I was so sleepy, my eyes seemed to be stuck with glue, and I couldn't open them.

I heard her laugh softly again: "Sleeping like a piggy, the piggy raised in the cooking class is better than you."

I kicked my legs to protest, and Chen Jingyu said, "Huh? Isn't it Little Piggy?" I mumbled, "Of course not." But even if it was a murmur, the voice must be muffled in her throat, and of course she couldn't hear it. clear.

Chen Jingyu said: "Then please ask your honorable Miss Lu to raise your arm, and I will help you take off your coat." As I said that, I felt a shadow covering the dim candlelight in front of my eyes, and she was untying my coat. Buttons.

I stretched my arms, and she helped me take down my sleeves. I don't know what happened afterwards, and I fell asleep for a while.

The reason why I wrote this battle in such detail is that I can remember every word Chen Jingyu said, as well as the details of the soil embryo house I lived in, and even remember that the burning candle was Chen Jingyu’s from the drawer. half found in .The reason is that this was the last battle I experienced in Changsha, and it was also the last time I saw Xiao Huo.

While I was in a daze of sleep, I suddenly heard a gunshot outside, and when I listened carefully, I heard a knock on the door. I knew it wasn’t a dream, and I was so frightened that I turned over and found Browning who had been loaded under the pillow and pointed at the door. , In the dark, I saw a black shadow under the moonlight slowly touching the door.

I knew that in the next second Chen Jingyu would quickly open the goal and put the dagger on the opponent's neck, and I also cooperated with her to cover her calmly.

Chen Jingyu put his hand on the door latch, and I held my breath and began to calculate the distance and angle. At this moment, I heard a voice outside the already quiet door: "Sir, it's me, Xiao Huo."

I let out a long sigh of relief, and was so angry that I wanted to scold him, did I want to scare people to death in the middle of the night!But a thought flashed in his mind, Xiao Huo was not a naughty boy, there must be something wrong with the front line when he came in the middle of the night.

Chen Jingyu opened the door, the saber in his hand hadn't been put down, and Xiao Huo's face was slightly reflected outside, with an anxious expression: "Sir, the devils are sneaking into the Northwest Front Battalion, the commander told you two to go there quickly!"

As soon as I heard this, I hurried to the ground. At this time, I saw Chen Jingyu's clothes were neat and neat, and the military uniform was on her body. I don't know if she didn't sleep all night or if she didn't take it off when she slept and just shrank all night.My coat was taken off by Chen Jingyu while I was sleeping. The military situation was urgent, so I grabbed the military cap with one hand, and Chen Jingyu took the coat and threw it to me. She put the hat on and ran out in a hurry.

When I arrived at the division headquarters, I saw the senior officers sitting in a group for an emergency meeting. Chen Jingyu was also inside. I looked at her and ran to the radio station. I made room and I asked, "How's the front line?"

"Can't get in touch, the devil cavalry attacked, and the front line is already in chaos."

I asked him for a front-line code, which was sent 10 minutes ago. It may be that he called for rescue in a panic, and there were a lot of garbled characters in the text.I got a headache just by looking at it. Plaintext and encrypted text are mixed with garbled codes. It’s really a panic, and it’s hard for them to solve it within 10 minutes.

I regenerated the power again and added only two layers of encryption. I was also afraid that if the front line was broken or the Japanese army hijacked our code, I used the simplest Caesar code at the end to add a double fence and then encrypted it with our army’s secret code. The content is very Simple, just my name: "LUAN".

This is a little trick I played. After I was transferred to the division headquarters, I met my colleagues. They gave me a piece of paper with garbled characters on the first page. I glanced at Chen Jingyu, and she stood smiling in the crowd. Looking at me, I couldn't help it, so I asked them for a piece of paper to start the calculation, and finally read it several times, and said incredulously: "Welcome to Changsha?"

The crowd was quiet, and one person said: "This is a password we wrote to test newcomers. We know that you are a password expert from Chongqing. The division commander and army commander even Commander Xue value you. But you must have real talents." OK, so I wrote this set of passwords."

The ciphertext they gave me at that time was the Caesar cipher plus two fences, and finally encrypted with our army's encryption system.

The author has something to say: All the information about the Battle of Changsha comes from Baidu and "Battle of Hunan"
