Chapter 864 Hu Bin's Guilt
864
When Hu Bin saw Zhenguo coming in, he handed him a letter saying it was written by Li Wanru, so Hu Bin took it.
"Brother Bin, I really want to go to the front line with you!" Zhenguo stood there and said, looking at Hu Bin.
"Go and close the door." Hu Bin said to Zhenguo, and Hu Bin put Li Wanru's letter in his hand first.
"Hey!" Zhenguo heard Hu Bin say this, and knew that he must have something else to say to him, and he would go over and close the door immediately.
"There were many people outside just now, and I can't say some things, but I tell you, you really can't go to the army, do you know? The future is not a world of soldiers. We soldiers will only think of us when the country is in danger, and most of the time, they are unknown.
If you go to the army, I dare say you will regret it because you can’t learn anything in the army, but in the local area, you can truly learn something and develop for a long time. Maybe in a few years, the country will not be fighting, and I may have to come out of the army.
You said, when you came out with me at that time, what advantages could you have? Now you go to a small town to manage the affairs and develop the economy, education, and people's livelihood of the town. In a few years, you may be able to manage a county. How great is this?
In fact, it is really difficult to manage a place, not as simple as you think, especially now that the country is very poor, the people are even poorer. It is very difficult to develop the economy in a place. However, you have one advantage, what is the advantage? It is that there is a commander to support you, and I can also help you come up with ideas. As long as you are really good to the people, the people will definitely support you.
In the army, you are really not suitable. It’s not that I don’t take you. I can see the heads of your development in the army. At most, you can’t be promoted to the brigade commander. At least before the age of 50, you can’t be promoted to the division commander. If you have worked as a brigade commander for more than 20 years, will you do it?" Hu Bin asked at Zhenguo.
"Why did it for more than 20 years?" Zhenguo stared at Hu Bin with wide eyes.
"Because you have no experience in commanding a war, now you are just a soldier and a little adviser. What do you know? The commanders who command big battles and the regiment commanders are older than you. Do they want to be promoted to commanders?
They have made more contributions than you, why should you go? Do you think about it yourself? There is no advantage in going to the army, but you have absolute advantage in going to the place, do you know?" Hu Bin looked at Hu Bin in a low voice and said.
"You, you didn't say that on purpose to go to the front line, right?" Zhenguo was still a little suspicious of Hu Bin's motive.
"You know, if you came back three years ago and I took you with you, then I definitely hope you will develop in the army. Look at Li Qinwei and Zhang Fan and others, they all have a lot of credit. They are going to go up. Except for Li Qinwei, Huang Wenjin is already a division-level cadre, and others will soon be able to become a division-level cadre.
But you came too late, do you know? It’s not suitable to be in the army. You should go to the place, I really didn’t cheat you, and if you go to the place, I will help you.” Hu Bin said to Zhenguo.
"Then, then you must help me!" Zhenguo said to Hu Bin.
"No, if you don't understand anything, just write me. I'll give you an idea." Hu Bin nodded and said.
"Okay, Brother Bin, please read your sister-in-law's letter first. She misses you very much and is worried about you. Now she is also in the communications department of the arsenal. She is very happy to see the telegram you sent back occasionally!" Zhenguo stood up and said to Hu Bin.
"Hey, see, this is the sorrow of being a soldier, especially as a soldier in a war era. He is not qualified to say love!" Hu Bin looked at Zhenguo and said in a sigh.
"Hehe, I'm leaving!" Zhenguo heard this, laughed, opened the door and left.
After he closed the door, Hu Bin opened the envelope and took out the letter paper. A familiar smell came over, making Hu Bin unable to help but think of the beautiful memories of his date with Li Wanru.
After opening the letter, Hu Bin saw the familiar words and couldn't help but smile on his face. Hu Bin read the letter for almost half an hour. The letter was not long, just a few hundred words, but after Hu Bin finished reading it, he became dazed.
"Hey!" After a long time, Hu Bin sighed, stood up, and prepared to go to bed.
The next morning, after Hu Bin got up, he asked Mo She to find him clothes for ordinary soldiers, and then went to the commander's side with Mo She and others.
After that, Hu Bin sat behind the truck and followed the commander's guards to the airport. When he arrived at the airport, it was already 7:30 in the morning. Hu Bin's station was in the middle of the rows of guards in front. Mo Shooting them beside him. Hu Bin stood there with a gun in his arms, standing straight.
At this time, the commander and the others were waiting on the tarmac. They had just received a telegram and the transport plane would come soon. Although Wuhan is very cold now, all the soldiers here, including the people, were staring at the sky. Many people in Hubei knew that a large number of ashes would be sent back today, and the people nearby rushed over to send out the soldiers who died in foreign countries.
"Here, the plane is here!" Soon, many people saw a large number of planes coming from the southwest, and the tower also contacted the plane, which was a plane that transported the ashes of soldiers.
Almost half an hour later, the first transport plane began to descend, and then more transport planes descended and glided towards the apron. When they reached the designated location, they stopped, and then the planes opened the rear hatch door!
"Salute!" Li Tianxing shouted loudly beside the commander.
Hu Bin stood there, raised his gun and saluted the martyrs.
At this time, the commander and the deputy commander walked forward, and the soldiers in the plane came out with boxes of urns and placed them on the table that had been prepared.
The commander walked over and took the military flag from Yan'an from the staff behind, covering the urns. More and more planes landed. After landing, the officers at the airport, as long as they were division-level cadres, had to go over and cover each urn with the military flag. If they were party members, they would also cover the party flag, and then let other soldiers put them on the cars that had been prepared long ago.
The plane escorted by the commander-in-chief landed the last. As the commander-in-chief in Yan'an, he had to see all the souls of the martyrs return to their hometown before he could get down.
"Report to the commander, bring all the heroes of the martyrs of the Expeditionary Force back. Please instruct!" The commander-in-chief came to the commander and raised his hand to salute.
"Thank you for your hard work!" said the commander after raising his hand and returning the gift. Then the commander walked to a small platform in front, where the commander was going to give a speech to welcome the soldiers back.
And below, there are many journalists, both at home and abroad.
"Salute all teammates!" The commander stood there and shouted loudly. At this time, Hu Bin and the others raised their guns again, and the Chinese reporters all bowed to the rows of vehicles filled with martyrs' ashes.
Almost a minute later, the commander shouted again: "After the ceremony!", Hu Bin and the others were holding weapons normally, and the reporters also stood up.
"Soldiers, comrades, friends, our Chinese Expeditionary Force set out in April this year. It has been 9 months since then. During this period, our Chinese Expeditionary Force fought bravely abroad, not only lifting the threat from the southwest direction of our country, but also attacking the Japanese invaders entrenched in Southeast Asia.
Under the command of Commander Hu Bin, the soldiers of our Northern Expeditionary Force killed more than 300,000 Japanese troops and captured more than 400,000 prisoners at the cost of more than 130,000 casualties. This is the credit of our Northern Expeditionary Force, the credit of our Chinese Expeditionary Force, the credit of our national anti-Japanese team, and the credit of our Chinese people. Soldiers, comrades, friends, today..." the commander said on the small platform.
Hu Bin was staring at the vehicles, feeling very guilty. He had to go over to cover the military flags of these soldiers, but now he is not. He is a patient to the outside world and cannot appear in such an occasion. Hu Bin felt very guilty when he looked at the vehicles.
Mo She next to him noticed Hu Bin staring at the other side, and sighed in his heart. He knew that this was a huge regret for Hu Bin. It was a loss and a regret for Hu Bin.
The commander talked about it for about 10 minutes, and then ordered the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers to be sent to the Martyrs' Cemetery. Yan'an decided to build a martyrs' Cemetery on several barren mountains northeast of Jingmen. However, in the past few days, the ashes of those martyrs must be placed in several houses in the Martyrs' Cemetery to mourn the families of the martyrs.
Hu Bin stood there, watching the vehicles drive out of the airport.
"Brother Bin, we are leaving!" Mo She reminded Hu Bin. Hu Bin nodded and began to retreat with the entire guard force. When he arrived at the command center, Hu Bin left the army.
Until 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Bin called Mo She and his own guards, and his own guards, with white wine and worship items, drove towards the Martyrs Cemetery. Hu Bin went there and entered the room with his own guards, standing there to salute those who took off their hats.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, I can't put military flags on you personally!" Hu Bin murmured.
"Brother Bin!" Mo She shouted from the side.
Hu Bin closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Buy some money for the brothers. Brothers have just returned and may not have money to spend. Then let's have a few more drinks with the brothers!"
