What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

In April 1945, in order to occupy Hunan Zhijiang Airport and keep the Hunan-Guizhou Railway (Changsha-Nanning) and the Guangdong-Han Railway (Guangzhou-Wuchang) unimpeded, the Japanese army divided into four groups to attack the western part of Hunan Province.This was the last major battle between the national army and the Japanese army, which was later known as the "Battle of Xiangxi".At that time, although the Chinese knew about the Japanese battle plan, they could only mobilize troops for defense under the condition of insufficient strength.He Yingqin, commander-in-chief of the army, commanded the third and fourth front armies, and the tenth army to carry out defensive operations; in addition, the Sino-US joint air force also provided strong air support to the national army.

At the beginning of May, Yu Xiaoqing's military department received an order to be transferred to Hunan as a reserve team for the Xiangxi battle.And Hunan is the hometown of our big iron and blood. After receiving this order, he couldn't help feeling fierce and full of ambition.Yes, it would be such an honor and pride to defeat the Japanese army and regain the lost ground in front of the elders in my hometown!I'm afraid it can be compared with Yue Fei Yue's grandfather.

When this order was received, in fact, Yu Xiaoqing's troops had not yet been fully replenished with personnel and supplies.But our Young Master Yu won't be scruples about these things. He has issued an order requiring the entire army to set off on the date appointed by Shangfeng, and no one should delay or violate it.There are only a few days left for them to prepare.

During those few days, I kept receiving reports from the veterinarian, saying that the chief of military supplies had brought letters home, asking Jasmine to pack her bags as soon as possible and prepare to go to Hunan with the army.He wanted to send the two of them back to his hometown in Hunan to live with his eldest wife.

Hearing this news, I couldn't help being confused. If Jasmine really took Bao'er away from Zenda, would I also follow like a dragon?Of course, I won't really leave my brothers behind like Mi Long, but once I lose Jasmine and Bao'er, the pain and loss are simply unimaginable to me.

The day before the troops were about to leave, I came to the small courtyard of Jasmine's house nervously.I thought in my heart, even if it was just to take a last look at Jasmine and Bao'er, I had to come.This may be the last time, and I don't want to pass up the chance to see them one last time.

It was past noon, and it was late spring afternoon.As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard the sound of conversation coming from the room.It seems that today is really unlucky, the old man of her family happens to be at home.

"Why haven't you packed everything yet? I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Didn't I tell you two days ago?" The voice of the quartermaster came out.

"I don't want to leave, I'll just stay in Zenda and not go anywhere." This was Jasmine's gentle yet firm voice.

"I'm afraid you can't decide this matter. After our army is transferred to Hunan this time, I'm afraid we won't come to Yunnan again. Of course you have to go with me. I will send someone to take you back to my hometown on the way. There is a house at home, and my parents are there, the eldest, and her two sons, the family lives together, so I can concentrate on taking care of it." The quartermaster said.

"If you want to go, go, I won't go to Hunan, and I won't live with your eldest wife." After Jasmine finished speaking, she didn't go to see him, picked up the unfinished work in the sewing basket, and buried herself in it. Started sewing.

"My aunt, now is not the time to be angry. If you don't go back to your hometown with me, how will you live alone in Zenda? I'm afraid that within two months after I left, you can't even pay the rent here! I am For your sake, not to mention you still have Bao'er, how do you support you two?"

"I can support Bao'er and myself." Jasmine just replied lightly, and continued to be busy with her needlework.

I saw that old man pacing restlessly in the room, thinking of words, and suddenly said loudly: "I know what you are thinking in your heart! You are no longer willing to live with me now. In fact, I have already Knowing whose son Bao'er is, I just didn't say it all the time. I didn't bother with you all this time, just because I was still waiting for you to change your mind, but I didn't expect you..." He didn't finish speaking, but suddenly He patted the table.

Bao'er, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, was awakened by the sound, and burst into tears.

This really made me both sad and helpless, both depressed and crazy.I can only restrain and endure as much as possible, and continue watching.

Jasmine put down the needle and thread in her hand, gently hugged Bao'er, patted him softly, and coaxed him without any excuses or words.I only saw the tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, and I couldn't help but feel pain piercing my heart and lungs.

Seeing Bao'er who was crying and seeing Jasmine's heartbroken expression, the quartermaster lowered his voice: "Back then, when you asked me for the anti-aircraft artillery," he heard him mention the "anti-aircraft artillery" , I have to listen more attentively.

"At that time, I thought you wanted to get some pocket money for rouge and gouache on the black market. It happened that Curry had such a small cannon that was about to be scrapped, so I approved a note for you. Later, you pestered me again and said I didn’t care if I went to the confidential room to see the most confidential map of the West Bank. I will try my best to satisfy you. Even if Master Yu found out that a map was missing afterwards, yes When I was furious, I didn’t blame you even though I couldn’t tell you the pain. Later, I found out that the cannon and the map had gone to Captain Long. I just pretended not to know and never mentioned it to you. thing……"

"Jasmine, you should forget about him. I will treat Bao'er as my own son and raise him well. I only hope that I can spend the rest of my life with you. I don't think about anything else, and I don't care .You should know that I really like you!!" Hearing this, my heart was also sore.

I saw Jasmine holding Bao'er in one hand, quickly wiped the corner of her eyes with the other hand, and said quietly: "I don't want to mention these things again, and I don't want me and Bao'er to be your burden. We just Staying in Zenda, there is my mother’s grave here, we can survive on our own.” She looked up at him, and then said: “When this battle is over, you can go back to your hometown. There There are people who are waiting for you to go back and live with you. You go, don’t worry about me. I know how good you are to me, but I really can’t leave Zenda.”

"Not only is there your mother's grave here, I'm afraid it's also because of his grave. You have been going to his grave all the time. Although I fought in the front line, the news has already reached my ears. No matter, no matter what , I won't mention these anymore. I'm leaving, you can do it yourself!" After speaking, he smiled wryly and walked out of the room sadly.

When he passed by me, my heart moved, thinking that he was still a man, worthy of being my comrade, worthy of being a Chinese soldier.

Under Jasmine's comfort, Bao'er fell asleep again, and the room returned to tranquility.Standing in this quiet courtyard in the afternoon, I was both happy and worried.The joy is that Jasmine stayed in Zenda, and she can live according to her own will without wronging herself in the future; the worry is how she will live, or in other words, how will she survive?

On the way back to Jiqipo, I was still thinking about what the quartermaster said.I never thought much about the origins of the anti-war artillery and the map, I just made a request to Jasmine and waited for the result.I never thought about the consequences my actions would bring to Jasmine, I was just trying to achieve my goal by any means.In the past, I really never paid attention to her, nor did I think about her.

I have thought about many people and worried about many people.He thinks he is thoughtful and can take care of many people; he thinks he is selfless and fearless, and has never sought his own personal gain.However, now I realize that I am so selfish and ruthless only when I treat Jasmine.What I owe her is no longer a promise, I owe her a lifetime of happiness.

……

Contemplating the past and standing in the setting sun, it was only normal at that time.
