Chapter One Hundred and Forty-fifth The Old Ones Visit
"Where is it?"
…
"Team leader! There is an acquaintance outside the regiment headquarters. Would you like to meet him?"
As soon as Xiaozui finished speaking, Meng Fanle's report came from outside the door. She was so frightened that she immediately stood up from the stool and tidied her clothes with some guilt.
Looking at her shy look, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't do anything so nervous. This girl is too thin-skinned.
"Smile, smile, smile! You know how to laugh." Xiao Zui rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Come in."
Meng Fangli pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw the two people in the room, he immediately understood and said jokingly: "Oh, my sister-in-law is here too. You see, I really came at the wrong time."
"You guys get busy first, I'm going back to the hospital." Xiao Zui blushed and started to walk out after saying that.
When passing by Meng Fanglia, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but stop and ask: "Um...Brother Meng, you told me last time that you seemed to have met my brother. Where is he now? I heard
Those who were said to be able to come back from the expeditionary force have all come back, but those who cannot come back have already..."
"Uh... didn't I say what I said? It was a long time ago when I met your brother. At that time, the regiment leader didn't come to Zenda. Later, the army was dispersed... Didn't we still have a group of people from the expeditionary force with us?
Did General Sun go to India together? I guess he is there."
Meng Fan was so embarrassed that he tried to comfort Xiao Zui with a pretense that even he didn't believe. He blamed himself for being a bitch, why did he tell her this at that time.
"Well, if you have any news, please tell me. Thank you."
After hearing Meng Fanglia's explanation, Xiao Zui nodded doubtfully. Although even she herself felt that Meng Fangliao's words were too ridiculous, she was more willing to believe that what he said was true.
Sometimes people are like this, they would rather believe in illusory things than face the cruel reality.
After Xiaozui left, Meng Fanxiao finally took a breath, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw Liao Mingyu's murderous eyes.
"Tuan Tuan, please don't look at me like that. She had to ask me last time, so I just said it casually. Who knew she was still thinking about it?" Meng Fan was extremely aggrieved.
"Usually when she asked me this question, I told her in a roundabout way that her brother is probably gone. How about you go and tell her this?"
Liao Mingyu was furious. There were more than 100,000 people in the expeditionary force, and tens of thousands of them were killed and missing. Where could they find people? Logically speaking, if Xiaozui's brother was still alive, he would definitely return to Zenda.
After all, his sister is here, but she hasn't come back yet, which can only mean one thing.
"Actually, I may have actually met his brother. You don't know, regimental commander, but my former company commander's surname was Chen. I can't remember his name, but I know he is from Sichuan." Meng Fangliao said as if it was serious.
.
The company commander he was talking about, Liao Mingyu, also knew that it was the battle before his leg was injured. He faced a Japanese Type 95 light tank. Due to the lack of heavy weapons, the entire company suffered casualties, and the company commander was also hit by incendiary bombs.
Burnt to black charcoal, he even burned people's bodies in order to light a bomb, and finally managed to survive by pretending to be dead.
It would be a coincidence if it really was Xiaozui's brother, but what's the point of talking about it after he's already dead.
"Forget it, don't mention this matter again. I'll find an opportunity to have a good talk with her."
Liao Mingyu put aside the thoughts in his mind and waved his hands, not wanting to get too entangled in this matter. Then he asked Meng Fanxiao: "Who did you just say is coming?"
"You guys remember that Mr. Fang, the one who bought our arms?" Meng Fanlian replied.
"Fang Jingyao? Is he here?" Liao Mingyu asked. He was deeply impressed by this heroic Mr. Fang.
"It's his hook-nosed entourage who came and said he had something important to report to you." Meng Fanlian said.
Liao Mingyu frowned. Could it be that something happened? "Let him come in."
…
Outside the station, the hook-nosed man was walking back and forth anxiously waiting. He didn't know what happened to make this gloomy and calm man confused.
"Hey, our team leader wants you to come in." At this time, Ding Xiaoer ran out and greeted the hooked nose.
"Okay! Thank you, little brother."
The hook-nosed man took out a few silver coins from his pocket and quietly handed them into Ding Xiaoer's hand. After following his husband for so many years in the world, he still knew this rule.
"What are you doing? This is... no, no, no, no, I can't have it."
After Ding Xiaoer saw clearly what was in his hand, he was so frightened that he turned pale and threw it back to Hook Nose like a hot potato.
Eh? Too little? Hook-nosed looked confused, thinking that he didn't appreciate it if he didn't give enough, so he took out two more pieces from his pocket and tried to hand them over.
"Uncle, please spare me. Our Sichuan regiment doesn't like this. If the regiment leader finds out, he won't beat me to death."
Ding Xiaoer quickly declined with a grimace. Liao Mingyu had already issued the Ten Military Rules and Eight Points of Attention. He was determined not to allow this kind of behavior, and the military discipline was also quite strict on weekdays.
The disciplinary inspection team patrols every day to catch soldiers who do not comply with discipline. At first, those veterans who behaved badly were dealt with miserably by them. Who dares to make mistakes now? If they are discovered, it will cost them twenty army sticks.
There is actually Qiu Ba who doesn't like money? This surprised the soldiers of the Sichuan Legion. However, business was important and he didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly followed Ding Xiaoer inside.
The two people in the room had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Liao Mingyu, they immediately stepped forward with a hooked nose and said hello: "I've met Commander Liao!"
"No need to be polite, brother, please sit down and talk. Waiter, give me a cup of tea," Liao Mingyu said with a smile.
"Sir Liao, just call me Agui...I'm here...to ask for your help. Something happened to my husband. I beg you, sir, to save him."
After seeing Liao Mingyu, Agui looked a little anxious and didn't bother to sit down and quickly tell him the purpose of coming here.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly. What happened to Mr. Fang?" Liao Mingyu asked quickly.
"After our last farewell, we returned to Malaysia. With your batch of equipment, the situation of the Self-Rescue Army was slightly better, but the Japanese immediately launched a new round of encirclement and suppression against us."
"My husband was worried and went to the southern front line in person. But this time Yamashita Fengwen was ruthless and mobilized a large number of troops from the front line to chase and intercept us. They marched very fast on bicycles, and our large troops suffered heavy losses because they had no time to move.
On the way back, my husband was also hit by a stray bullet."
Speaking of this, Agui showed a remorseful expression, and he blamed himself very much for failing to protect Fang Jingyao.
"How is Mr. Fang doing now? And where is your team now?"
