The sun sets!

The sunset in the sky is bright red, and the light red light scatters on the mountains of Taihang Mountains!

The valley was not very spacious, but it was covered with soldiers wearing gray uniforms.

There was no quiet and peaceful. While chatting with the comrades beside them, the soldiers waved to the comrades whom they knew were not far away. Some soldiers even rushed over to shake hands with their comrades, hugging each other and laughing happily. The atmosphere was so strong that it was too strong.

The mature and sergeant squad leader smiled and dispersed the Japanese cigarettes that the officials in their pockets had just been separated to their young comrades without any pain, while most of them smoked the pipe pot they often smoked.

The second lieutenant, lieutenant and other officers who sat with the soldiers did not look so serious as usual, and instead, they met old comrades passing by, and gave them a warm hug without hesitation.

Because this is the celebration banquet of the 683rd Brigade, which belongs to the winners' rights and to the nights of these soldiers after bloody battles, laughter and hug are essential ingredients.

Even though the celebration banquet was a bit simple, there were no tables, chairs, benches, or even dishes, there were no clean Japanese steel helmets in front of everyone. The steel helmets on the lined steel helmets were temporarily removed, which was the bowls they were going to eat today, and they would also have their own new equipment from tonight.

In the two battles of Shentouling and Beiganling, more than 3,300 Japanese steel helmets were seized. The commander of the Four Lines Regiment was generous and knew that the entire brigade of the 683rd Brigade had almost no steel helmets, so he left all the seized Japanese steel helmets to the 683rd Brigade and the 769th Regiment. Not only that, he even took out 1,200 bulbs from the helmets they seized from Licheng and sent them over. The total number of steel helmets that the entire 683rd Brigade could be allocated soared to 5,500.

Brigade Commander Cheng gave the 769th Regiment, one of the first achievements in this battle, a share of 1,500 heads, and left 4,000 heads for his three infantry regiments, which was basically enough to equip all the front-line infantry.

I heard that the reason why Commander Tang took the initiative to give the 1,200 steel helmets to the 683rd Brigade is also a small episode. The 3,300 steel helmets to be distributed to the four infantry regiments participating in the battle this time is naturally not enough. According to the opinions of the commanders of the brigade department of the 683rd Brigade, the steel helmets were distributed to the infantry on the front line. All officers above the platoon leader and above, and the auxiliary troops are not equipped.

This kind of thinking is actually very common in the Eighty Army. When many battalions and regiment-level commanders cannot break the battle, they often wave their hands: Follow me! It is precisely this kind of thinking that the officers and soldiers of the Eighty Army are the first to be united in the Chinese military sequence.

But Tang Dao knew that this was also a double-edged sword, and the cohesion between officers and soldiers had greatly increased, but the casualties rate of officers also increased.

Not to mention the distance, just talk about the current regiment battalion commanders of the 683rd Brigade, who are currently the backbone of the regiments, could have become the pillars of the future Chinese army like their comrades, but unfortunately, they died early on the battlefield.

Especially the young leader of the 772nd Regiment, who had not met Tang Dao, was accidentally sacrificed because he was hit by a stray bullet in his head! If he had a helmet, the stray bullet would most likely not take away his young life.

The Four Army Corps came from Songhu all the way, killing thousands of Japanese invaders. The Battle of Jinkeng and Bihe wiped out the Japanese army in the two infantry regiments. The helmet was already a hand. If it weren't for the "Hammer" dog's head, the "Hammer" might become the first dog in China to wear a helmet.

Therefore, Tang Dao made a quick decision and took out 1,200 steel helmets from the seizure from Licheng. The only request was that as long as the officers and soldiers of the 683rd Brigade were on the front line of the battlefield, whether they were the brigade commander, regiment commander, or battalion commander, they must wear steel helmets, and asked Brigade Commander Cheng to write this into the 683rd Brigade military regulations. Those who do not wear steel helmets will be punished with demerits.

Otherwise, the four teams will have the right to take back the batch of steel helmets.

As a friendly army, he has achieved this. What else can Commander Cheng say? Naturally, he can only agree. He has never liked to use the privileges of the chief even specially approved a steel helmet for himself and several other chief officials of the brigade department.

Of course, although this batch of steel helmets were first distributed to all regiments and battalions as the first batch of distributed spoils, the Japanese army's iconic five-pointed star is still on the steel helmets. During this period, it will be recycled as a company unit for new colors.

I heard that the leader Tang suggested that not only the color should be painted into a new matte dark green, but the camouflage net wrapped in the lining and the steel helmet should also be re-customized. A smaller grid will be used, and the material will be tougher, and it can be disassembled into ropes at critical moments.

The most familiar routine of inserting branches into the body for disguise is the Eighty Army. However, the original cloth military cap can basically prevent mosquitoes except for the military equipment. Unexpectedly, the Tang Tuan was so varied and had so many tricks with a steel helmet.

OK! Even the bowl of the celebration banquet with a steel helmet was actually the result of Tang Tuanzhang's casual comment. Otherwise, even if the 683 Brigade and the 683 Brigade brigade had a great power, they would not be able to make so many bowls.

As for chopsticks, it is too simple. The most inexpensive thing in the mountains is trees and bamboo. If you break two branches a little roughly, you can make it similar in length and thickness. If you use a bayonet to cut off the bark, you can just use a bayonet to transform it.

The bowls and chopsticks are basically prepared by the officers and soldiers. The brigade department responsible for the celebration banquet only needs to provide food and drink.

The officers and soldiers probably still had concerns about those core things before, but since each person carried at least 30 kilograms of food, they have no such concern.

I heard that the teacher leader is coming, at this level, how can I say it is white flour bun and broth?

It was a big victory and I was in a good mood. When I thought of the fact that there were white flour buns and meat, it was a good thing I hadn't eaten in nearly half a year. You said, how could the atmosphere not be warm!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When the sun is about to fall, it is about to show a little edge. When the sky is already dark, all the soldiers who have entered the venue are lit up the bonfire they have already built!

Around the small mountain village of the 683 Brigade station, the bonfires are lit up one after another. If someone stands on the top of the mountain at this time, he will see such a strange scene: he is about to fall into the dim mountain, and suddenly it seems to come alive. Until the end, the mountains are shining everywhere, like stars in the sky!

The original words recorded in my diary by Dan Tai reporter who happened to look back at this moment: This oldest mountain and river in China is right in front of me, lit up by the stars! The laughter of young soldiers kept coming from my ears. At that moment, I was even more firmly convinced that the darkness that the brutal invaders shrouded me in China will eventually be torn apart by these outstanding and brave young people with the light of their lives!

My country and nation, and my compatriots, will sooner or later laugh like these fearless young soldiers in the sky, under the stars!

This is just the prelude!

"This scene is so beautiful!" Tan Tai Mingyue said softly to Tang Dao standing beside her.

Tang Dao, who also looked back at all, seemed to have stars flashing in his eyes, and his tone was respectful: "They are the cutest people of this era!"

He quietly reached out his hand and grabbed Dan Tai Mingyue's hand and gently snatched it, "So too! Thank you!"

Dan Tai Mingyue's face suddenly turned red.

It’s not that there are a group of senior officers headed by Brigade Commander Cheng around, but Tang Dao has never expressed his emotions to her solemnly. Her intuition tells her that this does not involve any relationship between men and women, but is an emotion between comrades.

Maybe not so sweet, but extremely sincere!

"That's what I should do. Captain Cheng, you and all the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line are the most worthy of people's gratitude!" Dan Tai Mingyue responded in a low voice.

Dan Tai Mingyue didn’t understand Tang Dao this time.

Perhaps, before Tang Dao continues to keep his secret, no one in this world will understand his mood at this moment.

Dan Tai Mingyue is undoubtedly emotional. When she wrote this passage, she was more of a hope for the future.

For the Chinese military and civilians at this time, they were actually more confused and fearful!

It has been a full-scale war with the Japanese invaders for half a year, but in this six months, the northern battlefield has been completely defeated and the entire North China has fallen; the important area of ​​Jin Province, which connects the northwest, has fallen most of the area. The Battle of Songhu, which has invested 700,000 elite troops in the country, has failed; the capital Jinling has fallen; the Battle of Xuzhou, which has been invested in heavy troops, is in a stalemate...

From top to bottom, countless Chinese people face this dilemma and will involuntarily think of a question: Can we really win this war?

You can't win! Whether it is national strength or military strength, both China and Japan are completely out of the same level at this time, and more and more Chinese people clearly realize this.

Therefore, not only many people in the Japanese-occupied area chose to bow their heads, but also many people who claim to be elites in the cities under the control of their own army chose to take the initiative to lean towards the Japanese.

For this reason, some people have also thought of an excuse for themselves to be "extremely great": for the continuation of the Chinese nation!

In response to this, the Tang sword standing with Dan Tai Mingyue, who also stared back at the mountains, only gave it eight words: Shameless! Don’t have the green lotus!

Looking at the mountains lit by the bonfire, Dan Tai Mingyue had a beautiful hope, but Tang Dao stared at the mountain in front of him had only respect in his heart.

Yes, except for respect, no other words can express his emotions at this time.

As a little butterfly from the future, Tang Dao knew where the wheel of history would go. All his efforts and struggles were because he knew the ending of history, and China would win! But what about these soldiers behind him, around him and even in the distance, who had already heard the sound of horse hooves?

They are in the darkness, don't know!

Will they hesitate and hesitate when facing failures, facing failures again and again, and facing enemies that are so powerful that they are almost impossible to defeat?

Of course, this is an inherent emotion in human nature.

But they chose to persevere, and they chose to persevere without looking back even if they knew that the biggest possibility of such unrealistic persistence was to make them pay the price of their lives.

These brave people, of course, deserve respect and eternal memory of their descendants.

Tang Dao said thank you in lieu of the men and women who can enjoy their youth under the peaceful blue sky.

But how many people will be willing to spread their youth and enjoy their future moments, remembering these ordinary people who have been far away from their times but have exchanged their future for their future?

Tang Dao doesn't know.

But he can at least represent himself. He also believes that there are many people in this world who are ungrateful and have many hearts and slaughter, but there will definitely be no lack of people like him.

If there is darkness, there will be light. This is the twin sons that the Creator has long been born!

"I said Brother Tang, it's okay for the wife to talk about love in front of us bachelors, but it's too much to think that we bachelors are like air, it's too much!" Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who was beside Tang Dao, pulled the corner of Tang Dao's clothes, and snatched into the distance while teasing Tang Dao softly.

The teasing is fake, and it is the real reminder that Tang Dao and Dan Tai Mingyue with a blushing face are the real ones.

What did their large group of senior officers stand at Yamaguchi? It was nothing more than to welcome the two leaders!

Not to mention the strict hierarchy in the army, the two leaders met Tang Dao for the first time. If they came, they saw Tang Dao holding the beautiful girl's hand, even if they knew it was his fiancée, they would feel a little unhappy! This is the army, not a banquet at home.

"Hehe, just talk about the well-educated word for Brother Xiaoqiang, you are a wise couple. You will be the guest of honor at the wedding of Dantai and I. I will present the invitations myself! But remember to prepare the gifts early." Tang Dao replied with a smile when he knew this kindness.

Tang Dao is thick-skinned and does not take his colleagues seriously. Dan Tai Mingyue is not good, and her face is red and she takes the initiative to stay away from this guy.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded from afar.

The ignition light also lit up at the corner of the mountain road hundreds of meters away.

"Chiefs are here!" The voice of Commander Cheng, who was standing in front of the queue, rang out.

All the officers stood up straight and remained calm.

But for a moment, a team of cavalrymen with torches appeared in sight and stopped dozens of meters away.

The two knights left the home team and moved forward until they stopped the horses more than ten meters away from the officers, and scattered the stirrups and took off the horses.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked towards everyone.

"stand at attention!"

"Salute!" Commander Cheng took the lead in setting an example.

At least a group of soldiers who were regiment-level cadres were followed immediately.

"You Cheng Houzi, you're so big. Why are you afraid that there are too many big cars coming from the Division's logistics battalion? You use this trick to block the mouths of the division commander and we can't speak, right? Then I can tell you that the division commander is thin and easy to talk, but with me here, you can't make a move." The short soldier replied to the military salute, while holding a strong Sichuan voice and scolding the brigade commander Cheng who was walking towards him quickly.

"That leader really thought it was too simple for me. This is just the first trick. I have white flour buns and good wine behind me!" Captain Cheng shook hands with the two of them and responded with a smile.

"There are also white flour buns and good wine? No! You, Houzi, were telegramming you told me that you had big fat meat!" The tall soldier who had always been serious asked "curiously".

"This... the leader, you don't bring it and eat it, which is not in line with our army's tradition." Captain Cheng's face turned bitter.

"Look at your stingy Bala! Comrades, don't imitate your brigade commander!" The short soldier was very good at brigade commander Cheng, but the subject changed. "But why did the division commander just eat your trick? As soon as he received your telegram, he pulled me away! Good guy, I ran seventy or eighty miles a day! Today I will eat Cheng Houzi's big fat meat."

"Haha!" The officers couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

These regiment-level cadres under the 921st Division were considered old acquaintances with these two. Needless to say, they met and salute and shook hands. Tang Dao originally wanted to stand at the end, but after several deputy brigade-level cadres shook hands with the two leaders, Commander Cheng took the two directly to Tang Dao.

"Hello, Chief!" Tang Dao stood up straight, stood up straight, and greeted a standard military salute.

"This is..." Captain Cheng instinctively wanted to introduce it.
