Chapter 274 Big Surprise
The decisive battle is scheduled for four in the morning.
At three o'clock in the morning, the kitchen staff started cooking.
Feng Qi, Zhong Jialing, Cheng Yaoyao, and Fubao all put on their military uniforms, gathered in Luo Jiu's tent, and had breakfast together.
Zhong Jialing looked at Luo Jiu's solemn expression and said anxiously, "I've never seen you so heavy before. Are we really going to die?"
Luo Jiu smiled, "No."
Zhong Jialing asked hurriedly: "You have another trick, right?"
Luo Jiu replied: "No."
"Then how can you be sure that we won't die?"
Luo Jiu pointed at the plate of pickles in front of him and said, "You've heard of the last supper, but have you heard of the last breakfast?"
Zhong Jialing shook her head, and Luo Jiu smiled and said, "That's it."
Cheng Yaoyao smiled helplessly, "At this time, you still have the mind to tell jokes."
Luo Jiu asked back: "Why not laugh? Tan Sitong once said, I laugh at the sky with my sword in hand, and my loyalty will remain in Kunlun. Even death should be accompanied by laughter, but remember, enter the space in times of crisis."
She said 'you' instead of 'we'. Cheng Yaoyao keenly noticed the subtle difference and grabbed her hand, "What do you mean? Aren't you going into the space with us?"
Feng Qi suddenly reacted, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? I just said that if we encounter the worst situation, if the army is defeated and all the soldiers are killed, I still hope that you can survive, but I can't."
"Why?" Feng Qi asked puzzledly.
Luo Jiu sighed, "I didn't understand it before, but tell me, why didn't Xiang Yu want to cross the Yangtze River?"
Feng Qi said angrily: "I don't know, I don't know him, but I know you, and I won't let you die."
Luo Jiu's eyes were red as he said with emotion: "These soldiers, under the name of rebels, followed me here with the determination to die.
If we really lose the war, I can't watch them die while I live. I can't get over it.
What am I then? A man who can only speak with passion and ambition, and provoke others into a bloody battle?
You are my true confidants and you will definitely understand me.
Either we win this battle, or I will perish here along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. You don’t need to persuade me.”
At this time, Zhu Jiumei said outside the camp: "Report to the division commander, the aircraft inspection is complete."
Luo Jiu stood up and went outside the camp. The three of them looked at each other helplessly. Feng Qi glanced at Fu Bao who was showing off his steamed buns. "You still want to eat?"
Fu Bao said aggrievedly: "What are you worried about? At the critical moment, I can knock Second Mom out and bring her to the space, right?"
Cheng Yaoyao said: "That's useless. What we need to do is to win the battle."
Fu Bao nodded, "I will definitely win. I have never lost. Besides, we still have Liu Zi."
Cheng Yaoyao sighed, "I don't know how many troops Liuzi can bring."
Fu Bao said innocently: "Don't worry, even if he can't bring anyone, he will come by himself."
The three of them smiled helplessly, and suddenly heard a commotion outside. They hurried out and heard the reconnaissance company commander excitedly say, "Reinforcements are coming!"
A group of generals hurriedly climbed up to the observation post and saw flickering torches faintly visible at the mountain pass. As the target got closer, the torches became more and more numerous, almost illuminating half of the hillside.
Zhong Jialing quietly took out the night vision goggles and soon caught up with the cavalry who were rushing at full speed to provide support.
There was a military flag on the horse with a huge "Zhang" character written on it.
Zhong Jialing turned around and mouthed to Luo Jiu, "It's Liuzi."
Luo Jiu nodded, and the reinforcements soon arrived. Liuzi, dressed in a military uniform with a black mink coat on the outside, dismounted in front of the camp. He took a few quick steps, glanced at everyone, and stopped in front of Luo Jiu.
Lu You hurriedly asked, "Isn't this the young marshal? Where did you hide before? Why...why are you here?"
Liuzi smiled and took out the words he had prepared earlier, "I was hiding in the mountains before, and heard that the war had started outside again. We are here to join the battle on behalf of the Northeast Army."
"Great! Great!" Lu Youhe looked at Luo Jiu excitedly, "Commander Luo, this is such a huge surprise."
Luo Jiu nodded slightly, "How many troops did the young commander bring?"
Liuzi said, "Not many. They are all my old subordinates. They are the garrison troops of the eight nearby counties. There are 10,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry, a total of more than 80,000 people."
Comrade Quansheng nodded repeatedly, "Okay, we are about to start the war, if you have any requests, just let us know."
The generals beside him looked at Liuzi, who pleaded for everyone, "In this battle, our Northeast Army wants to be at the forefront."
Comrade Quansheng looked at Luo Jiu, and Luo Jiu said, "Okay, you guys line up behind the tank company. After the bombing is over, we'll formally attack."
Luo Jiu looked at his watch and said, "Air Force, get ready."
The Air Force Special Operations Division has now received additional personnel. Previously there were only a few of them. Since Zhu Jiumei learned how to fly a plane, she felt that it was not that difficult, so she volunteered to train a group of pilots.
Luo Jiu asked her to gather people by herself. She went to the troops and made a round, and found more than fifty female soldiers.
Luo Jiu was stunned and asked Zhong Jialing and the others, "Did you give any special instructions?"
The three of them shook their heads. Later, she asked Zhu Jiumei privately why all the students selected were women?
Zhu Jiumei said strangely, "I see you are all women. Aren't we women more talented at flying airplanes?"
Luo Jiu smiled and actually realized a truth. The effect of role models is indeed subtle and the stereotype is well formed.
For this flight mission, Zhu Jiumei divided the pilots into three teams. When everyone walked over, they heard her giving a clear and concise instruction, "Team one, follow me first. If Team one fails, Team two will follow. If Team two fails, Team three will follow. If all of them fail, don't worry about what happens next. There will definitely be people burning paper for us."
Zhong Jialing stepped forward wearing a helmet and said, "This is your first time to carry out a bombing mission. I, the Dean of Academic Affairs, will accompany you."
Zhu Jiumei looked at her worriedly, "Director Zhong, this..."
Zhong Jialing said: "Why are you so sad? Everyone should be happy. Captain Zhu said the worst case scenario. The best case scenario is that we successfully complete the mission, come back alive, and wait to be commended.
We are carrying out a glorious mission, let's all laugh, isn't there a saying? "I will laugh at the sky with my sword in hand..."
Everyone looked at her, but Zhong Jialing suddenly couldn't think of the next sentence. She secretly complained in her heart that she was not a cultured person and couldn't come up with such a bold statement. She changed her tone and said casually: "So we should smile more."
Zhong Jialing turned and walked towards the plane. The three people couldn't help but call her, "Jialing."
Zhong Jialing turned her head and looked at everyone who seemed to have a lot to say. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still strong. Besides, I'm still here with my sword drawn towards the sky. Let's go."
Feng Qi looked at Luo Jiu in confusion: "What does she mean?"
Luo Jiu: "It's meaningless. I learned a word and used it randomly."
She turned around and ordered the soldiers, "Everyone quickly reach the designated positions and prepare for battle."
Everyone quickly dispersed. Luo Jiu pulled Comrade Quan Sheng aside and said, "I don't know what Lao Jiang will do. It's not safe for you to stay in the rear, nor in the front. Stay in the middle of the army.
If we lose the war, we must keep the flame of revolution alive. You should go north, go abroad, and wait for the right time to come back."
Comrade Quansheng refused and said, "No, don't you still have warships? Most of the Japanese troops are here now. If we lose the battle in the Northeast, I will lead a small team to their homeland and exchange with them."
The ultimate one-for-one exchange? Luo Jiu hadn't thought of this.
As the two were talking, Tian Siyu suddenly ran out of the tent and said, "Master, President Jiang is calling and needs you to answer the phone in person."
Luo Jiu picked up the phone, only to hear the other party say helplessly: "Can we discuss the deal again?"
