…
"Ma Tadong. Enjoy the cherry blossoms in Beijing!"
More than 50,000 soldiers of the Northeast Army repeated Ye Anran's words.
The momentum was overwhelming and earth-shattering.
Ma Jinshan was full of enthusiasm and he was the first to applaud.
He gave a thumbs up to Ye Anran with great admiration.
He can also do the same in managing soldiers and fighting wars.
It's just that it's not the same as Ye Anran.
Ye Anran stood in front of everyone.
The soldiers' eyes suddenly turned murderous.
Such cohesion surprised Ma Jinshan.
He has led troops for so long.
This is the first time I’ve seen this happen!
Xie Ke, who was standing aside, looked at the more than 50,000 brothers in front of him.
ecstatic!
What is this called?
This is called military spirit! !
The soul of an army! !
Xie Ke has read many military works from Chinese and Western countries.
In Erwin Rommel's "Infantry Attack," he saw the beginnings of trench warfare during World War I.
I also saw the military spirit mentioned by Western soldiers.
He always thought that the so-called military spirit was just an illusion created by Rommel.
Until just now.
From the moment Ye Anran stood in front of the Northeast Iron Army.
He fully understood the meaning of military spirit! !
…
Ye Anran finished speaking.
Xie Ke made the final summary.
Chief of Staff Xie is professional when it comes to inspiring military morale.
This also made Shu Beidou and Liu Jingjing strengthen their determination to stay in Hecheng and develop.
About ten minutes passed.
The Northeast Army was disbanded on the spot.
Except for combat duty troops, all others will have one or two days off.
Those new recruits who were recruited into the army at the beginning of the year.
I was away from my parents for several months.
Never sent a penny home.
Some soldiers even passed through the house three times without entering.
Just because they have a combat mission.
Ma Jinshan stood quietly in the military camp, watching the disappearing figures of the troops.
At this moment, the stone pressing on his heart was finally removed.
…
twilight.
Provincial Government Banquet Hall.
Ma Jinshan held the wine jar and poured a large bowl for Ye Anran.
Ye Anran wanted to stand up.
The elder brother pressed his shoulders.
"Third brother."
"Today, it's just me, the second child, and Chief of Staff Xie."
"This bowl of wine is for you, brother."
"Brother, big brother, thank you."
All the words from the bottom of my heart are in the wine.
Look at the large clear bowl of wine floating with pearl-like hops.
Ye Anran never picked up the bowl of wine.
He turned sideways and looked at his elder brother.
"Do you have to be polite?"
"Brother, big brother, I really mean it!!"
"If you hadn't raised the money and paid the military salary, the brothers might not even have gotten a dollar during the Chinese New Year."
"You have helped us a lot, can't we thank you?"
…
Xie Ke sat aside, crossing his legs and watching the show with a smile.
Ma Jinhai stood behind Xie Ke, watching the excitement with great interest...
They knew Big Brother was serious.
But there is really no need to be polite to brothers who are like brothers.
Ye Anran pointed to the sculpture of Guan Gong behind the screen in the banquet hall.
"Brother, you are like this..."
"Let's go to the Second Master Guan and put aside all ties with him. I'll drink this wine."
"You are so polite to your brother."
"Can I walk?"
…
Xie Ke applauded, "An Ran, you guys put aside the relationship of being the boss and take me with you. I want to be the boss of you! Haha!"
Ma Jinhai said quickly: "What, we have never been polite to you."
"Don't take me with you..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two of them looked gloating.
Ma Jinshan was really angry.
"Mom, you're so polite. There's something wrong with being so polite!"
"Forget it if you don't want to drink this wine, I'll drink it myself!"
Ma Jinshan said that he was about to take away the large bowl of wine in front of Ye Anran.
Ye Anran pressed down Ma Jinshan's arm, moved his mouth forward and took a sip!
Cool!
Good wine!
Ma Jinshan looked confused.
But my heart was full of emotion.
He refilled Ye Anran's wine, "Second brother, stop standing there stupidly and drink!!"
"drink wine!"
…
This night.
No one bothers.
The four brothers drank very happily.
Along the way, they went through hardships.
I have gone through a sad road and parted ways with countless brothers.
Just to expel the Tartars and strengthen our country!
The next day!
Ye Anran changed into a clean military uniform.
He went out and stood downstairs of the provincial government office.
In front of them, an infantry regiment with all German equipment was assembled.
Ma Jinhai put on his style buckle as he went out.
He came to Ye Anran and stood at attention and saluted.
Ye Anran liked this about her second brother. When it was time to be serious, he was more serious than anyone else.
In private, he can make more trouble than anyone else.
The two of them left the courtyard of the provincial government.
Zhang Tianhai trotted up to Ye Anran, stood at attention, and saluted.
"Reporting to the division commander, all the officers and soldiers of the Baiyang Regiment have assembled. Please give instructions."
"Set off!"
"yes!"
Zhang Tianhai returned to the team and shouted the slogan: "Look forward, walk together!"
More than 2,000 people walked away and headed towards a place that none of them knew!
The tallest soldier, holding a red flag with the three characters Baiyang Regiment written on it, walked at the front of the team.
This line.
Ye Anran came to fulfill a brother's wish.
Fifty meters east of Dongxing Hospital.
In the courtyard of a bungalow with only two rooms.
An old man wearing blue linen clothes was sitting on a stone bench.
The old man was threading his needle and thread, knitting a blue sweater.
The sweater is almost finished.
She moved skillfully, using two knitting needles as long as chopsticks to move back and forth around the neckline.
Following the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.
The old man's hand suddenly stopped in the air.
The Baiyang Regiment, consisting of 2,000 people, stopped in front of the two huts.
at this moment.
The more than 2,000 soldiers of the Baiyang Regiment felt extremely heavy.
It’s true that they are born with beards, but they are all people with parents.
When Zhang Tianhai's people entered Hecheng, the first thing they heard was the heroic songs of Baiyang Group and Ge Changsheng Group!
Simple wooden door.
It seemed to be Ye Anran's last line of defense before his mentality collapsed.
He remembered Bai Yang's instructions before his death.
Ask him to send military pay to his 70-year-old mother every month.
Don't tell your mother about his sacrifice.
Ye Anran can't do that...
For a mother who has worked so hard to raise her son, that's not fair! !
The wooden door creaked open.
The old man's waist was stooped, and she, with her little feet bound, stood in the middle of the hall, as if a gust of wind could blow the old man down.
The old man raised his head and stared at Ye Anran and Ma Jinhai for a long time.
"Is it Vice Chairman Ye?"
"Auntie, I'm Xiaoye."
The old man nodded slightly, and she looked away, looking for the shadow of her son Bai Yang.
Yes!
There were hundreds or thousands of people standing in front of her.
But no one was her son, Bai Yang.
The old man's hand trembled involuntarily.
Her weather-beaten face was filled with concern and expectation for her child.
She paused at the door for a full half minute.
"Vice Chairman Ye, it's winter, I knitted a sweater for my child..."
"Please, please help me carry the child..."
