The rebirth of the Republic of China

When Liu Sheng came out of the shower, Lu Yihua was leaning on the bed and smoking.His eyes narrowed slightly, with a cigarette in one hand resting on the head of the bed, and a thin document in the other.

After drying his hair, Liu Sheng walked over and pulled the cigarette butt out of Lu Yihua's hand. Lu Yihua was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the cigarette was almost gone before he was paying attention.Throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray and pressing it out, Liu Sheng asked while drinking a glass of water, "What is so important, why are you so absent-minded?"

Lu Yihua didn't answer, and handed him the document in his hand: "Look at this."

Liu Sheng took it in doubt, and found that it was a combat guide, and now his doubts deepened.Now the military training in western Yunnan is going well, and the work of the training regiment is also going very smoothly, except that Nujiang still makes trouble after a while, so life can be regarded as peaceful.He opened the document and stopped after turning two pages: "This plan—"

"It was the outline of the plan for the joint counterattack back then." Lu Yihua explained.

Liu Sheng paused slightly, as if thinking of something bad, but soon he covered up this expression, put down the document, and asked, "Isn't this something that happened in August? How do you think that today is the same time?" Did you find it out?" As he spoke, he suddenly realized, "Is it about counterattacking Burma..."

Looking at him, Lu Yihua closed his eyes slightly, then he suddenly smiled and threw another document to Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng caught it subconsciously, and before he read it, he could almost guess what was written on it.However, even though he had already guessed something, Liu Sheng was still in a daze when he saw it with his own eyes.

——Deploy the joint Anglo-American counterattack against Myanmar combat plan.

The detailed division of labor in this plan was promulgated by the Military Order a few months ago, and now only one army officer has a copy.Liu Sheng held it in his hand and watched it carefully, Lu Yihua didn't bother, just lit a cigarette and sat thinking about things.

This proposal came in a timely manner, and Lu Yihua actually couldn't wait. In his previous life, he had almost the same experience as Hu Shoushan. He fell into the quagmire of "preparing for the civil war" in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War. Regarding the "final victory", although it cannot be said that he He made no contribution at all, but achieved very little, but even so, he still got the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. If he hadn't been caught by mistake in Xinjiang, he might have survived until the end to be buried with the "party state".

Lu Yihua was a little dazed. In the last few years of his life, he was able to lead the Kunming army after getting rid of Hu Shoushan, and then embarked on a path different from his previous life. Would he be able to fulfill his life's wish and make sacrifices for that rare victory? a contribution?It can also be regarded as making up for past life regrets.

Once this kind of thought came into being, it would be difficult to erase it. Lu Yihua found that the preparations he made before were completely useless.The idea of ​​"since the war will be won in the end, he just waited to finish his mission and leave safely" suddenly disappeared.He is still not reconciled, just like being reborn that year.

However, Lu Yihua was worried in his heart. Judging from his past experience, as long as he turned to a decisive place for the event, history would inevitably repair it.And these repairs are the reason for his reassurance, but also the source of his worry.

He was assured that the motherland would not fail, but worried that he would not be able to go to the battlefield like in his previous life.

This feeling……

He wanted to contribute, but couldn't do it.

"Commander... Commander?"

"...What?" Lu Yihua suddenly recovered.

Xiang Junci looked at Lu Yihua, who was obviously distracted, in surprise, and asked with a frown, "Is Jing An uncomfortable?"

"It's fine." Lu Yihua rubbed his forehead, "Maybe it's because he hasn't had a good rest these two days."

"How about taking a break? Anyway, there is no rush now, we still have time, you..."

"It's really nothing." Lu Yihua pinched the corners of his eyes, looked up at the worried person, and said with a smile, "Let's have a meeting, everyone has something to do now, it's not easy to get together, we can't delay for a long time because of my trivial matter .”

Lu Yihua didn't agree to take a break, and Xiang Junci had no choice but to open his mouth but still didn't speak out the words of persuasion.

Lu Yihua was obviously out of spirit these days, Xiang Junci looked at Liu Sheng who was sitting on the side, Liu Sheng felt his gaze turned away, he was puzzled for a moment and then understood what he meant, but he just shook his head and didn't think much of it. What an obvious sign.

"The Japanese army has nine divisions that are our main combat targets, namely the five divisions in western Yunnan, and the four divisions stationed in Thailand and Vietnam." Lu Yihua managed to suppress the irritability in his heart, and listened to this calmly. A combat staff officer who came down from Chongqing analyzed the situation. After he finished speaking, he pointed a drawing ruler in his hand to a corner of the topographic map hanging in the center of the opposite wall, and made a mark with a pen before continuing, "From these positions, it can be seen that the nine divisions of the enemy army have the possibility of harassing Yunnan and invading India. Therefore, the main task of the Allied forces and our army now is to strengthen the preparations for the war on the Indian border and prepare for future cooperation between the two armies." Restoring Myanmar and doing the preliminary work."

This combat staff officer was sent from Chongqing. As for why he was sent, Lu Yihua didn't understand at all. This staff officer Jiang meant that he was useless to him.In his headquarters, there is no shortage of combat staff officers, many of whom he dug from other places, as well as talented students who returned from Germany back then.

Therefore, Lu Yihua inevitably thought a little more about the person Chongqing sent him.

——Maybe there is something wrong with Chongqing, so we should put a trustworthy confidant on his side?

Lu Yihua was noncommittal, he was doing well, so there was no need to be afraid of these things.However, he did have a bad feeling these two days.What worries him is that there are already problems within the national army. He doesn't want to believe that he will be reprimanded for some trumped-up charges.

Lu Yihua felt that he had never done anything doubtful. He was always cautious in doing things. Even when he let Zhao Rui leave, he had made full preparations. Besides, except for a few close people, no one knew about Zhao Rui's relationship with him. Relationship.As for Zhao Rui, this is not something worthy of praise for him, and it is impossible for him to publicize it everywhere.

At most, he could also say that he had been the confidential secretary of the current No. 11 Army Commander.

And that doesn't matter at all.Nowadays, there are many low-level officers in the national army who have turned to the Communist Party. Which army does not have it?It doesn't make sense to just pull out this one thing from him.

Moreover, according to intelligence, Zhao Rui has not yet achieved a dreadful position in the Communist Party.

However, Lu Yihua thought about all aspects, but he never thought that everything in the world is rarely perfect. Since it is done by human beings, there is a chance that this matter will be discovered by others.At the end of this meeting, Staff Officer Jiang walked up to Lu Yihua, extended his hand to say hello, and said, "General Lu's headquarters is full of talented people. The plan in my heart can be revealed without explaining a word from the humble staff." Out of [-]%, it is really eye-opening."

Lu Yihua nodded calmly: "Staff Jiang is also a young talent."

He is really a young talent. Lu Yihua glanced at the eyebrows of this Staff Officer Jiang. He was in an important position in his early 20s. There was a sense of confidence and pride in the eyebrows and eyes, which brought out a kind of dignity. .

Staff Officer Jiang smiled, his gaze softened a bit, his eyes filled with excitement from being praised by his seniors, and he said, "General Lu is absurdly praised." After speaking, he changed his voice and said, "General Lu, before I came to Dali, The Chongqing side has made clear instructions on this operation, and I can’t disclose it now, but.”

Staff Officer Jiang paused, then raised his eyes to look at Lu Yihua.

Lu Yihua sat quietly in his seat, without saying a word, waiting for him to continue.

Sure enough, Staff Officer Jiang just paused for a moment, and then continued: "Things here in Dali may be a little rushed. If you are free in a few days, when you pass by my humble home, can you help me bring something?"

The room suddenly fell silent, Lu Yihua sat still, but Liu Sheng, who was packing up the files, stopped.

At this time, there were only the three of them in the war room. Liu Sheng subconsciously looked at the door, but luckily the door was closed.Standing on the same spot, Liu Sheng unconsciously flicked the materials in his hands. Taking advantage of the time when the two of them were silent, he turned his head and nodded to Staff Officer Jiang who was looking at him at some point, and then said to Lu Yihua: "Jing An, I'll go out and watch first."

Lu Yihua glanced at him and shook his head: "It's okay, what should you do and continue."

Staff Officer Jiang watched all this with a slight smile, Lu Yihua finally raised his eyes at this moment, there seemed to be no emotion in his bright black eyes.This gaze looked calm, but it was very compelling. No matter how capable Staff Officer Jiang was, he was only in his early 20s, and soon he could not hold on under Lu Yihua's gaze.However, just when he couldn't help it, Lu Yihua who had been silent all this time spoke up.

"Where is your home?"

Staff Officer Jiang was taken aback, and quickly said, "In Hunan."

After speaking, Staff Jiang had time to look at Lu Yihua again.I saw that the young general put away the compelling gaze just now, and sat quietly in the chair with a cup of tea.The scene was so peaceful that he was a little uncomfortable.

Lu Yihua smiled: "If I don't delay my schedule, I will go there."

This is the meaning of seeing off guests, and Staff Officer Jiang was sent to the door by Liu Sheng.Until he heard the sound of closing the door, Staff Officer Jiang still couldn't react. It's true that he came here today for selfish reasons, but he also sent a message for Lu Yihua. Pass it out.

As for Lu Yihua, after hearing his words, this person didn't even seem to have any emotional fluctuations.You know, even he, who had nothing to do with it, was shocked for a while when he heard the news.

Looking thoughtfully at the closed door, Staff Officer Jiang laughed to himself and walked away.

Even if he disclosed the information to the person concerned, this matter has nothing to do with him.and--

He thought, if Lu Yihua could receive his kindness, maybe he could have room to play in this battle?

From the day he came here, he knew that no matter how big his connections in Chongqing were, this was Dali, where the headquarters of the No.11 Army was located.And those people who are really leading the army are Lu Yihua's confidantes. For a newcomer like him, who has no combat experience at all, it's good to have a good face. He doesn't want to use what he knows to affect the victory on the battlefield. burden.

And now, it's an opportunity.Besides, for young people in their 20s like him, there are more young men who worship Lu Yihua.Now this man in his thirties was already well-known in China ten years ago. Even as a junior who admires him, he feels the need to remind him.

Whatever is worthy of his own principles of doing things is fine. Although he is not sympathetic, he still insists on this point.

However, the atmosphere in the combat room where Staff Officer Jiang left was not good. Lu Yihua was still sitting quietly. Outsiders seemed to be thinking, but Liu Sheng knew that he was in a daze.Thinking of what Staff Officer Jiang said just now, Liu Sheng frowned slightly.After putting away the documents, Liu Sheng asked, "Why, are you thinking about what Staff Officer Jiang said?"

After moving his slightly stiff neck, Lu Yihua sighed: "I haven't felt very well these days, always thinking that something will happen. This year he said this can be regarded as giving me a definite news." After a while, Lu Yihua laughed at himself, "I still thought that I was thinking too much, and I also talked about the possibility of these things happening, but I still feel uncomfortable when it comes to the end."

Liu Sheng was silent, he didn't know what to say.There is no reason for these things at all. The things he has access to over the years have become more and more confidential. It can be said that as long as Lu Yihua can know at this stage, he will pass through his hands.Because of this, Liu Sheng also learned more about some black inside stories.

Today, the national army has long since lost the determination of the former prime minister when he first established the revolutionary army, and all aspects have long been damaged to the root.

"I'm always hesitating. Now that Staff Jiang has said this, I can make up my mind."

"What?" Lu Yihua's words were a bit sudden, and Liu Sheng didn't react for a moment.

Lu Yihua smiled: "This Staff Officer Jiang said this in order to gain some capital for the future. My style of conduct can be regarded as strictly prohibited. Just like this, isn't my 11th Army also a majority of my cronies? But, go It's better to stay here than other people, get a piece of news for me, in exchange for gaining a foothold inside the No.[-] Army, this person is not stupid." Speaking of this, Lu Yihua looked a little weird, and finally couldn't hold back his smile, "It's just that I didn't Thinking that this Staff Officer Jiang would actually use this method to inform me that he really passed through Hunan when going to Chongqing."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yihua stopped laughing.Gradually, Liu Sheng's emotions, which had been relieved just now, tensed again, and he unconsciously raised his mind.Lu Yihua said: "If you need to go to Chongqing this time, you can stay here."

Liu Sheng's heart moved, but he didn't speak, just looked at Lu Yihua quietly.

Lu Yihua's complexion softened, but his tone was unquestionable: "Regularly, I'm not sure about going to Chongqing this time. According to the opinion of Staff Officer Jiang just now, it's definitely not a good thing for Chongqing to ask me to go. Otherwise, even if he can't gain a foothold in the Eleventh Army, He wouldn't turn to me either. If he wasn't afraid that after something happened, those of us would anger him, what would he be afraid of as a staff officer who came down from his body? If he doesn't act like a domineering person, it means that he is self-cultivated."

Liu Sheng still didn't speak.This was his rare resistance, and Lu Yihua's explanation could not convince him.

It's for his own good, but it's not for his own good either.Liu Sheng has always had a deep understanding of himself. He sees many things very clearly, and his eyes are almost never covered by fog. He often looks into his heart, and he understands what he wants.

"I'll go with you." After finishing speaking, Liu Sheng stopped talking.

Lu Yihua also sat quietly until night fell outside the window.Lu Yihua sighed, and said a little tiredly when facing him for the first time: "Regular, you stay here. After I go to Chongqing, there will always be someone to help me contact me. I can't trust others."

Liu Sheng still stared at him and did not speak, only to hear Lu Yihua continue: "Although it is dangerous for me to go to Chongqing this time, there is no danger of my life. My people are there, the principal..." The voice seemed to struggle for a while, and then with Before that, they said one after another, "The principal shouldn't do anything to me, at most he would be imprisoned." At this point, Lu Yihua stared at Liu Sheng closely, "You are different. If you go over, I can't guarantee your life at all. It's safe, and if I want to leave, you know the background of the people around me best, and you can help me when the time comes."

It wasn't until he heard the last sentence that Liu Sheng lost his composure. It was as if a hurricane was blowing in his eyes, sweeping up strong emotions, but he couldn't explain clearly.Lu Yihua waited for his reply, but it took Liu Sheng a long time to recover his voice. He seemed to ask incredulously, "...Leave?"

If you ask Liu Sheng what kind of person Lu Yihua looks like to him, Liu Sheng's first reaction would be to say that this is a soldier, an out-and-out soldier.Almost all the qualities of a soldier can be reflected in him, so military orders are his only code of conduct.Such a person, now that the war is so fierce, told him that he would disobey orders and leave the country because of political persecution, and his first reaction was to disbelieve the past, but Liu Sheng felt a sour feeling in his heart.

The ruling party can't even keep their defenders...

No matter how uncomfortable it is, this is his motherland after all.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng's emotions showed on his face, a smile appeared in Lu Yihua's eyes, and the slightly depressed atmosphere suddenly improved a lot.He looked at Liu Sheng who was several seats away from him across the long conference table, and after thinking for a while, he walked over and stood behind Liu Sheng, half-bent and wrapped his arms around Liu Sheng's shoulders to kiss his heart.

Liu Sheng sat without moving. He didn't turn his head to look at Lu Yihua until Lu Yihua stopped moving.

Lu Yihua's face was very calm at this time, and under the indoor light, it looked softer than before.Seeing that he was also looking over, Liu Sheng slightly avoided his gaze, and then said, "I'll stay."

The corners of Lu Yihua's lips curled up, and he naturally exerted force on Liu Sheng's shoulder, causing him to turn around, bowed his head and kissed him.
