Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 24 Fight back a few more Americans for me!
Saying that, Qianli straightened up:

"The Seventh Interlude Company, all of them—"

Around the station, the soldiers of the Seventh Company had already carved into their bones their sensitivity to the company commander and orders.

in all directions.Some were standing, some were carrying, some were fighting like Yu Congrong, some were squatting down to rest like Lei Gong, needless to say, all of them subconsciously tensed up and stood upright.

"salute!"

His voice was like a sword, like a bayonet, resounding through the rumbling station.

Snapped!
Rows of arms and hands raised.

Xu Qing is not the fastest one, but she is the most careful one.

He can see.Some of them were still jumping and breathing hard at the last moment, some were in a hurry to pick up the cotton clothes, some were still climbing on the material container to count the ammunition, and some were sighing while struggling to bite the "People's Liberation Army" logo on their chest... ...and when they heard the order, they all silently stopped their movements, and performed their most upright and standard military salutes to these enthusiastic and honest people.

They are unsmiling, because the military salute must be solemn enough.But the continuous gratitude could not be hidden in the eyes.

The straight right forearm was bent into the shape of a flag in the few rays of sunlight that were seen above the station.

This ceremony was longer than the previous ones, and it lasted several seconds.

"Libi--"

clap clap clap!
"it is good!"

Almost at the same time as the soldiers put down their hands, applause, cheers, and cheers resounded on one platform of this narrow and small station.

Someone in the crowd shouted:

"Oh my god, Comrade Company Commander! You don't need to thank us, we all volunteered! I am a family member of a martyr, my man died outside in the war, and there is no relic left, only me and my six-month-old child are left I... I don't blame him. He said that he never regrets being a soldier or doing things for this country in his life, because there are thousands of people behind him to protect... I don't understand these things, but I understand that it is you who wear The military uniform protects us, protects us all, we must not forget our kindness! In my eyes, you are like him, the People’s Liberation Army who can support the sky, good men who can stand up to the sky-you must take good care of yourself, You have to come back alive!"

Xu Qing recognized it—it was the female hygienist who took off her padded coat and hit him.

She looked small in the crowd, but her voice was high-pitched and loud.There is excitement, strength, and lingering nostalgia on the cold and flushed face, but there is no sadness.

"No! I can help too. I think you are all great guys. You haven't married yet, right? When you come back in spring tomorrow, let your sister-in-law match you up--introduce your daughter-in-law! We are from the Northeast girl's family. It’s all over now, big guys, don’t you think so?”

The crowd laughed: "Yes!"

"And me! Hey... don't laugh, I'm not a big girl in the Northeast. I'm from Shenyang, and I want to fight too! But I'm crippled, so I can only do logistics work. They can't say that it's me on the battlefield I don’t think so! You must take my share and beat a few more Americans back!”

A cook raised his fist and said loudly.

"We're right. If we hadn't passed our age, Gaga would have gone up!" It was an aunt who was waving a woolen scarf, and threw it into the car after speaking.

"Add me..."

That's a station dispatcher trying to get up.But the legs are gone.

"Me too, me too! When I grow up, I will go to fight to protect everyone..."

In the crowd, children who didn't know the family also jumped up enthusiastically, raising their hands high.

They have the most sincere smiles on their faces, simple, enthusiastic, and warm like the sun.

Hearing these bold and unrestrained blessings and encouragement, from young to old, Qilian's group of young men with an average age of [-] to [-] were all red-faced and didn't know what to do.

Qianli: "Thank you, thank you, thank you all..."

Mei Sheng also hurriedly said: "We will definitely come back, and then send the padded clothes home! Everyone has taken off their clothes, go back quickly, don't freeze!"

Seeing a few villagers who were shivering from the cold, the soldiers were deeply moved and couldn't bear it, so they picked up the cotton-padded clothes on the ground and wanted to put them on.Unexpectedly, those people ran away directly.

The fighters still want to send.The big guys waved their hands again and again:
"No! No! We have hands and feet, and we can walk by ourselves. Hurry up and do your work!"

"Let's go. Let's go, fight well boys!"

Saying hello, a group of people left in a hurry, all of them came and went quickly, their hands were so strong that the soldiers dared not pull any more.Had to stop.

Qianli stood at the front and watched them quietly, as if he wanted to engrave everyone in his heart.

Xu Qing was even more numb with awe, it was the first time he had seen such a scene, so sincere, so heartbroken, from scalp to toe to soul trembling slightly.

He finally understood that there is a saying in later generations that "a man must be a soldier in his life".Because...almost everyone will give you their sincerity and give you incomparable trust.

Everyone present was very touched, but they didn't salute or bow, they all stood silently and paid attention.

The crowd walked away, passing the end of the countless boxes on the platform, and soon disappeared, only the deputy station master remained in place.

He chuckled: "Take it all! Everyone is kind. We have lived here for a long time, and we know how cold it is on the other side of the river. You can wear it for war."

"I'll do it." Qianli came back to his senses, seeing him take out a pack of matches to light a cigarette, he hurriedly leaned over, snatched the deputy station master's match, and skillfully stroked it twice, sparks burst out.Keep out the wind, give me some points.

"Station Master, what kind of cigarettes are you smoking? Are they delicious? We all pack our own cigarettes. Unfortunately, the army doesn't allow them. After so many days, the train is almost suffocating, let alone Huoxiner..." Qianli asked. road.

The deputy station master smiled and said: "The one from Fengtian, Qiaomeiyan, have you heard of it? I only have two packs!"

"Hehe, I really haven't smoked it." Qianli said, and suddenly whispered, "... I thank you on behalf of all the brothers."

"What? Didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?" The deputy station master picked his ears.

Qianli laughed: "It's nothing. Say you are deaf!"

The deputy station master also smiled: "Yes, I also feel that my body is not as good as before - all the corners are frozen!"

Xu Qing read a sentence: "I don't know if I really didn't hear it, or I didn't hear it..."

The deputy station master looked at Xu Qing who was standing next to Qianli, and felt that the two looked alike: "This is?"

"My brother. The third child in the family!" Qianli smiled happily.

"Your brother? I almost thought it was your son! He came to fight at such a young age?" The deputy station master stopped smoking, took a serious look, and said, "Sure!"

After a pause, he added: "...very kind."

With the cigarette butt pinned to his mouth, he stretched out his only arm, as if trying to take off the military overcoat he was wearing.

Qianli stopped: "Don't. Your hands...can't be frozen..."

The deputy station chief raised his eyebrows: "Let go!"

Thousands of miles refused, and the two stalemate.He took it off.

"Okay!" Seeing him like this, Qianli had no choice but to say, "You are a veteran, I can't say no, then I will help you. Wanli, come here..."

"No need. Let go, I'll do it myself..." The deputy station master's face turned red instantly, and his hands became stronger.

He has only one hand, although his strength is great, it cannot be stronger than Wu Qianli, who is almost invincible in fighting.But Qianli backed down, he stopped his hand slowly, and backed away silently.

The deputy station master didn't ask for any help, and slowly took off his military overcoat with one hand in a skillful, weird posture.

"Look. I said it's okay, I still need help from others?"

He shook off the military overcoat and put it on Xu Qing: "I've been wearing this for two years. I'm crippled and can't fight anymore, but my heart is still there and I'm young enough. You know how to fight when you're so young. You must live well and fight well. Go to the battlefield-remember to fight a few more American devils for me!"

Qianlihou: "Do you remember?"

Xu Qing stood up straight: "Remember!"

He watched the man grin, showing a row of white teeth.

The deputy station master also laughed, and couldn't help shivering after laughing, so he said: "This place is too cold. I'm leaving, work hard!"

Turn around and go back.Qianli wanted to help him.

He waved his hands straight:

"No need! Leave me alone! Don't keep following me, old man! And...you don't need to thank me. Fight your battle well, don't—just die!"

Qianli stopped and understood...he just heard it.

Xu Qing stood where he was, looking at the tall, long back of the deputy station master walking back silently:
He was smoking a cigarette with one hand, and the other sleeve was empty in mid-air. He was bleak, lonely, staggering, and extremely powerful, with the dignity of a veteran.

The deputy station master was from the Northeast, tall and tall, and his military overcoat was so long that it almost reached below his knees.But very warm.

Xu Qing touched the soft surface with complicated emotions.Until now, he still didn't know the name of the deputy station chief, but this kind stranger had unconsciously settled in his heart.
