Rise From Eight Hundred

February 18, 1939, the Lunar New Year's Eve!

The Sihang Regiment's headquarters was decorated with lights and colorful decorations!

Not only was it to celebrate the New Year, but also 22 couples in the Sihang Regiment were going to hold a collective wedding. The highest military rank was Tang Tuanzuo, and the lowest was the young sergeant Tu Yunsheng.

Tu Yunsheng ran into his love after his leg was blown off and was sent to the medical company. Although the plot was very old-fashioned, because he was a special meritorious person, the medical company specially arranged a full-time nurse to take care of Tu Yunsheng. After returning to the Sihang Regiment's headquarters, there was even a separate ward.

The young man was originally optimistic and cheerful. Even though he lost a leg, he never became depressed. Instead, he told jokes to comfort the nurse when she couldn't help crying when she saw the cruel wound while cleaning his wound. Under the halo of the combat hero, the young man's advantages would naturally be magnified, and the two young hearts quickly came together.

Although Tu Yunsheng's military service and rank did not meet the marriage conditions stipulated by the Sihang Regiment, the recipient of the Special Medal of Merit had an exception, and Tu Yunsheng used it without hesitation, so he also caught the last train of the collective wedding, less than half a day earlier than the last battalion commander Leng who proposed marriage.

The wedding scene used the viewing platform for awarding military medals, with all the newlyweds on the stage and the guests sitting below.

This scene was even bigger than the awarding of military medals. Not only were all the officers and soldiers of the Sihang Regiment present, but also the invited military dependents and militia and people's representatives from all the natural villages in Dakouzidong Town, and the important guests who had been invited by Tang Tuanzuo half a month ago.

The officers and soldiers of the 80th Army, the 38th Army, and the 104th Division of the 22nd Army arrived three days in advance, and people like Dong, the commander of the 101st Division of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, Cun, the deputy commander of the 12th Division of the Fifth Army, and Hu, the brigade commander of the 28th Division stationed in Tongguan, all arrived in Dakouzidong Town yesterday afternoon.

If the guards brought by these guests are included, there are at least 18,000 people standing in the field and on the sidelines.

This time, the regimental-level cadres can't sit in the front row. It's not that there are too many generals, but because the grooms are all soldiers, their parents and relatives are out of town and can't come, but there are several brides from wealthy families who came to chase their fiancés, and their parents and relatives are all in Dakouzidong Town, not to mention that there are also Madam Tan Tai who heard that her beloved daughter was getting married and came across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Most of the first row was reserved for the bride's parents and several division commanders, and even Brigadier General Cheng pulled Brigadier General Kong to the second row.

"The first row is a pit. Tang Dao is the best at making money. Isn't this going to take advantage of the wedding to collect gifts? As a result, my goodness, I didn't know until I came here that he not only got married himself, but also got a bunch of people married. Later, he will lead these newlyweds off the stage and salute them one by one. Who can bear sitting in the first row?" Brigade General Cheng whispered in Brigade General Kong's ear.

"Then do we have to take both officers away?" Brigade Commander Kong took a breath and looked at Liu and Zhao who were sitting steadily.

Others may not know, but he knows that his army commander's pockets are much cleaner than his face.

As the commander of the 46th Independent Brigade, he knows best how badly the 38th Army fought this time. 2,000 soldiers of his 46th Independent Brigade died in battle and more than 1,000 were seriously injured. The military expenses and rewards brought by the special envoy were not enough to pay the pensions.

All the major generals of the 38th Army did not receive military pay in order to leave more money for the pensions of the officers and soldiers who died in battle.

When he faced letters from his family asking for money, he could only borrow 20 dollars from his adjutant and send it back home.

The 38th Army, which was rewarded for military merit, was like this, not to mention the 921st Division, which had more mouths to feed. Didn't you see that the uniform of the lieutenant general was still covered with two large patches!

This is also what Brigade Commander Kong admires the most about the 80th Group Army. The unity of officers and soldiers is something that only they can achieve in the whole country.

Although the Four-Line Regiment is not bad, the people in the Four-Line Regiment are all strong and sturdy, and they are considered to be the typical example of getting rich together.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be a worry in vain.

While the wedding scene is still being prepared, Xia Dayu led a group of people to prepare bags with red envelopes for several division commanders and several brides' parents.

With the current wealth of the Four-Line Regiment, how could these officers and elders spend money to send off the newcomers? The Four-Line Regiment only wants a tradition, and it is auspicious, but it will not make the people participating in the wedding feel distressed.

After all, even a big family like the Tantai family, in such a chaotic world, is doing its best for the survival of the clan.

"Oh my god, if I had known this, my brother and I should have been thick-skinned and sat in the first row. We can get a little back from this anyway." Brigade Commander Cheng regretted and slapped his thigh.

Brigade Commander Kong

The butt moved to the side involuntarily, which actually exposed his true inner thoughts.

In order to become the world's number one brigade, he, as a brigade commander, really has a lot to learn, such as someone with a face as thick as a tank armor.

Brigade Commander Kong probably doesn't know that after being in contact with a certain regiment commander for a long time, if the face is a little thin, the heart is probably already full of holes. Brigade Commander Cheng is purely forced to evolve.

The wedding has not officially started yet, but the joyful atmosphere on and off the stage has reached a fever pitch.

"Dear elders and superiors, dear brothers and sisters, please invite the grooms of my Four-Line Regiment to come on stage. Let's applaud and cheer. If that battalion doesn't work hard, the whole battalion will wash the dishes for everyone later." Deputy Regiment Commander Lei, as the host of this wedding, stood in front of the microphone and shouted hard.

This person seems to be different from the usually resolute and decisive Deputy Commander Lei, but obviously, many people don't know their deputy commander very well.

When he was young, Lei Xiong was also a handsome guy, but with the increasing responsibilities on his shoulders, coupled with the fact that a certain commander of the regiment was getting more and more self-indulgent and often went off track, forcing the second-in-command of the Four-Line Regiment to become more and more stable.

But now, what's the problem with being a little wild? This day is a happy day.

There were about 30 soldiers in the audience, led by Pang Dahai, the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion. When they heard Deputy Commander Lei's roar on the stage, Pang Dahai waved his chubby hand, and some people played drums, some played gongs, some played suona, and even some played erhu.

Among these musicians, the lowest rank was second lieutenant, and the highest rank was company commander like Zhao Daqiang. Seeing the usually dull-looking company commander Zhao Da waving his drumsticks and beating the drums, the people who knew them almost laughed to death.

This strange combination of company and platoon leaders' "symphony" has already made the atmosphere of the whole venue feel that way.

That was all the musical instruments that the Four Lines Troupe could find in the past half month. Originally, they planned to let the group of proud children under Teacher Xiao He be the musicians.

But although they have been trained in the Four Lines Troupe for a year, they still have some arrogance in their bones. Faced with their requests for flutes, saxophones, and at worst an accordion, Teacher Xiao He even asked the troupe to get a piano. In response, Tang Tuanzuo could only roll his eyes at them.

If you can't do something exquisite, can't you do something rough? Tang Tuanzuo was determined to do it to the end. He directly collected a bunch of "rustic" musical instruments from the villages and towns, and added a group of rough men who were used to holding guns and cannons.

The effect of rehearsing for half a month was actually similar to that of not rehearsing, but you have to say, the atmosphere was full of problems.

Madam Tan Tai was stunned. The collective wedding had already subverted the imagination of the housewives of the big family, but what the hell were these "monsters and ghosts" playing in front of her?

If she didn't know that this was a wedding, Madam Tan Tai would think that this was somewhat similar to the makeshift troupe that played music and sang to send people off in the countryside.

However, there was one thing that Madam Tan Tai was sure of, that is, the joyful atmosphere that permeated the sky at the scene was something that could not be achieved at home no matter how grandly prepared it was.

That's right, at this time, who cares about whether the tune is right or not, the main thing is to have fun.

The cheers from the audience were deafening, and even the mature and steady Liu and Zhao teachers laughed.

With cheers, the first to appear were the grooms. Led by Tang Tuanzuo himself, the grooms all wore brand new military uniforms, a small red flower with their names on their chests, and long leather boots on their feet.

Tang Tuanzuo, who was 1.8 meters tall, looked so handsome in this outfit. Even Erya, who had a gloomy look in the audience, couldn't help but smile and applauded and cheered with her comrades around.

"Grooms, please invite your newlywed wives to come out!" Deputy Regimental Commander Lei's voice resounded throughout the venue again.

"Turn around, please invite your wife!" Tang Dao's voice sounded on the stage.

The grooms immediately turned around and stood at attention!

The long leather boots turned and paused in unison on the stage, like thunder!

No need to rehearse, this is the quality of the army of the Four Lines Regiment, which is fully reflected in just a small queue of these grooms.

The brides wearing red veils came out one after another!

This time, the soldiers, who accounted for more than half of the brides, did not wear military uniforms, but all wore the same red thin cotton cheongsam, showing their youthful and slender figures. The waistcoats made of snow-white rabbit fur covered their shoulders, and they wore small leather boots with snow-white rabbit fur edges.

The most novel thing is that everyone also holds a number card in their hands!

Both beautiful and warm, and taking into account both tradition and modernity, this is the requirement of Tang Tuanzuo for the bride's clothing. The top students of the Fine Arts Department of Jinling University who are responsible for the design of the bride's clothing almost scratched their heads.

The husband hopes that his bride will be extremely beautiful and brilliant on this day, but he can't scream his wife in this cold weather.

In the end, this Chinese-style base design was unanimously approved by the grooms!

Then, the soldiers who felt sorry for their wives ushered in their ultimate test.

They finally knew the role of the number card.

"Can't tell which wife is which? That's easy. Just decide for yourself. If you make a mistake, you should do 50 push-ups at your wife's feet and then say loudly: Wife, I was wrong. I will remember this clearly in the future." Lei Xiong announced with a face full of sarcasm.

There was laughter and whistles from the audience.

The grooms, led by Tang Tuanzuo, had to choose their wives based on the bride's figure and write down the bride's number.

For the soldiers who have extremely strict observation requirements, this was not a difficult thing, but this is just what you think.

The soldiers of this era are not like the young men and women of the future, who know the figures of their wives and husbands before they get married.

Many people don't even kiss, and even hold hands occasionally.

What's worse is that most of the brides are nurses or technicians in military factories. They are either wearing white coats or military uniforms. No matter how meticulous the soldiers are in observation, how can you choose a scenery that you have never seen?

Fortunately, in addition to the graceful figure, there are also height and fatness.

Tang Tuanzuo and Leng Feng wrote down their wives' ranking numbers almost at the same time. Needless to say, Tang Dao, the scumbag, was quite familiar with the scenery as a soul from the future, which made him invincible in this game.

But Leng Dayingzhang was able to make such a quick selection, and Tang Tuanzuo was shocked. I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that Leng Feng, a wooden man, would take the initiative so early?

Facing Tang Tuanzuo's ambiguous and almost shameless eyes, Leng Feng's cool face couldn't help but twitch, and he could only explain to Tang Tuanzuo in a low voice: "Qingru is naturally fatter than others! That's why I dare to be so sure."

Women who have given birth are naturally plumper than young women. Leng Feng doesn't understand women's hearts, but when he went to deliver supplies to Sanxiao in the hot summer, he accidentally saw some of his wife's plumpness inadvertently exposed in a single layer of clothes. Although it was a glimpse, it was deeply engraved in his mind and never forgotten.

With this memory point, coupled with amazing observation, if he still can't identify his wife at this moment, it would be an insult to Captain Leng's IQ.

"I understand! I understand! It seems that you came back very late last night!" Commander Tang laughed so obscenely.

"I accompanied the three children to set off fireworks" Leng Feng had the urge to ignore his commander.

I am a father, and I have three children, unlike you!

After all, they are about to become husband and wife. In order to prevent their husbands from really recognizing the wrong person, the brides really showed their magical powers. Some pretended to cough lightly because of a cold, and some used their hands to quietly make gestures that only their husbands understood, which made the confused soldiers determine their targets one after another.

As a supervisor, Lei Xiong naturally saw these small movements and pretended not to see them. Being able to match the secret code at this time is also the tacit understanding of the newlyweds, right?

There are always unlucky people!

For example, Cai Yongguan, the Sleeping Dragon, scratched his head for a while, and finally chose a number with Tu Yunsheng, the Phoenix.

"Okay, since the groom has been selected, it's the bride's turn. All grooms immediately shuffle the order. Yes, put the regiment commander and the battalion commander Leng in the most unlikely position, and then stretch out your hands. The brides are only allowed to touch the back of their hands to determine who is their groom." Lei Xiong made things difficult for the grooms and then posed another difficult question to the brides.

This difficulty is not ordinary high. It is certain that newlyweds have held hands, but have you felt the temperature of the palm and the roughness of the back of the hand?

Moreover, the hands of these soldiers who have fought bloody battles with the Japanese for more than a year, which one is not rough and black? They are almost the same.

"Brothers, what if the groom cheats?" Wang Xiaoqiang, the cheerleader below, shouted with a tin horn.

"Then it's our turn!" The square team of the 772nd Regiment Guard Company below shouted in unison.

"Sisters, what if the bride cheats?" A female platoon leader of the medical company's square array also rang out with a shrill voice.

"It's our turn!" The female nurses responded in unison.

After shouting, some shy female nurses laughed first.

Erya, the deputy company commander, also smiled lightly, but her eyes were a little sparkling. She also wanted to shout out loud like those girls!

However, she didn't have the courage. Until now, she didn't even have the courage to restore her female body.

Even though Tan Tai Mingyue had mentioned it to her implicitly.

However, she felt that she was already very happy to stand by his side as a comrade and brother.

The laughter off the field spread all over the field.

No one expected that a collective wedding would be so happy.

"In the future! If there are officers of marriageable age in our army who want to get married, we will also follow this process. How happy everyone is!" The usually serious Liu Division Commander whispered happily to the white-haired general.

"Yes! Yes, yes!" The white-haired general answered in Liu Division Commander's hometown dialect.

Hearing the noise from below, the brides and grooms were still a little nervous, especially the grooms, who stood in a very orderly manner, not breathing, fearing that they would be accused of cheating by the covetous Lei Tuanfu.

Tang Tuanzuo, who was pulled to the end of the team and was the last one standing, looked relaxed. He believed in Tan Tai Mingyue just as Tan Tai Mingyue, who did not move, believed in him.

The brides wearing red veils stretched out their hands and slid across the backs of the grooms' hands. Some stopped directly, some continued to move forward, and some stopped and hesitated before moving forward

Until all the brides stopped one meter in front of the grooms they chose.

"If the bride and groom are sure, the groom will hang the number he wrote before on his chest and pick the veil!" Lei Xiong said loudly.

"Wait, wait, this is not right!" Cai Yongguan, the sleeping dragon, sweated on his forehead.

The person standing in front of him seemed to be his wife who worked in the Propaganda Department of the Political Department, but the number he wrote did not match the number in the bride's hand!

Other things can be wrong, but picking the veil must not be wrong.

"I have to wait here too! Ouch! No need to wait, my wife is right, I was wrong." Tu Yunsheng screamed.

The fierce nurse wife of the most powerful squad leader of the Four Lines Group couldn't bear her husband's stupidity, so she stretched out her hand and pinched the guy's ribs.

Just by looking at this little hand that can accurately pinch the pain point without looking, Tu Yunsheng can be sure that the person in front of him is his wife.

Tang Dao gently lifted the red veil of the woman opposite with his hand, and what greeted him was the curved eyebrows of Tan Tai Mingyue!

Tang Dao was a little dazed for a while.

Even though there were a lot of people around him, in Tang Dao's eyes, there was only this woman.

From this moment on, she is his wife! He is her husband!

The two will be one forever, never leaving each other!

Many newlyweds present were like this, staring at their lovers.

And Leng Feng's newlywed wife had tears in her eyes, with a lot of bitterness in her tears, and even more expectations for future happiness!

Leng Feng's lips moved slightly. At this moment, he finally let go of the painful past and decided to do his best to make the woman in front of him happy until the day he died.

Women's keen intuition made them all choose the right husbands, even if it was just with that pair of rough hands.

But in the tenderness, the only two who chose the wrong wife, Wolong and Fengchu, immediately worked hard to do push-ups in front of their newlywed wives.

Even Tu Yunsheng, who threw away his crutches, was no exception!

If they don't even work hard on this prescribed posture, they are afraid that they won't need this posture at night.

"Oh my god, no wonder Cai Yongguan was able to kill eight Japanese soldiers in a row, he has so much strength! I'm afraid he's used up all of it now and won't have enough strength tonight." Li Jiujin laughed like a goose.
