At the end of autumn, the sky in Taipei is as blue as the sea. The mountains in the distance are dyed in layers, and patches of gold are swaying on the treetops. It is dazzling, as if the tree is covered with gold. When the wind blows, patches of gold are dazzling. The leaves fall down, like colorful butterflies flying all over the sky, beautiful and gorgeous.
Although several months have passed since the Taiwan War, the traces left by the war have not completely disappeared. The smell of gunpowder smoke still passes through the streets, and the houses and roads destroyed by artillery fire are still vivid. However, the pace of rebuilding homes is orderly and orderly. In full swing.
In order to restore the city's appearance as soon as possible, Yu Xiaocheng ordered Taipei Mayor Lien Chaogang to set up a Taipei Reconstruction Command, and mobilized the public to form commandos, volunteer teams, rescue teams, and service teams. Each team and each force was active in every street in the city. Lane, and almost every night the open space in front of the governor's office is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a charity performance team is organized to hold disaster relief performances. Like a powerful magnetic field, people's generous donations are gathered together for urban reconstruction.
In view of the manpower shortage, Yu Xiaocheng also issued a special order, ordering the companies stationed in Taipei to take one day a week to participate in home reconstruction activities with the people in the city, even during the training period, and also had hundreds of faces made. Red flags filled the streets and alleys of Taipei. On the red flags were rusty eight characters written by him - "The army and the people are of one heart, and the fish and the water are deeply affectionate"!
Yu Xiaocheng knows very well that although the Red Label Army has achieved a great victory in Taiwan, if it really wants to establish a firm foothold in Taiwan, it must firmly unite the Taiwanese people under the banner of the Red Label Army and win the trust and trust of the Taiwanese people. Only with support can the Red Label Army maintain its strong vitality. Therefore, he even asked some homeless people in the city to be resettled in the military camps on the outskirts of the city. For this reason, he also ordered Lin Yonglian to send more than 50 female soldiers from the logistics department to take good care of these disaster-stricken people. life.
But what really worries Yu Xiaocheng is not the reconstruction of Taipei, but the liberation of the Penghu Islands.
If the Red Label Army wants to expand westward to the mainland, it must cross the Taiwan Strait, but the first hurdle it must cross is the Japanese army stationed on the Penghu Islands.
Penghu is the key to Taiwan. If the Japanese army wants to occupy Taiwan, they must first conquer Penghu. If the Red Label Army wants to expand to the mainland, they must also conquer Penghu first. Therefore, as soon as the war in Taiwan ends, fighting against Penghu becomes the top priority before Yu Xiaocheng, but The lack of ships and warships also prevented him from making up his mind to conquer the Penghu Islands. However, since Qiu Fengjia sent a telegram from the capital that the Qing government intended to recruit the Red Standard Army and provide all conveniences for the Japanese army to conquer the Penghu Islands, he knew that the time had come for the Penghu Battle. Mature.
The Governor's Yamen has changed its appearance and become the military combat command center of the Red Standard Army. However, the middle and senior officers of the Red Standard Army prefer to call it the "Supreme Command" because all major military decisions and orders are issued from the Sent here.
The headquarters meeting consists of the leader, the chief of the general staff, the deputy chief, the chief of the operations section, the general equipment director, the general logistics director, the general political director, the commanders of each corps, the commander-in-chief of the Guards, the deputy commander-in-chief, the director of military orders, and the military commander. Composed of division commanders, division commanders, regimental commanders, military intelligence chiefs, interior guard flag captains and the mayor of Taipei can attend the meeting, but have no right to speak.
Today is also the most attended meeting of the General Headquarters, because it has been several months since the war in Taiwan ended. Although everyone has devoted their energy to the reorganization and training of the troops, the lack of fighting for several months has left many people idle. In panic, a well-informed person learned from an acquaintance of the General Staff that the leader seemed to be preparing for a new battle. They couldn't help but gear up. As soon as they heard the order from the headquarters, everyone rushed to the scene as soon as possible. come over.
Early in the morning, there are people at the gate of the headquarters, and there are many people smiling and laughing. The few guys who usually make great achievements before the war are neither dissatisfied nor convinced by each other, and they often secretly compete with each other in private. After meeting each other for a while, they actually took the initiative to say hello, called each other brothers and sisters, and asked about warmth and well-being. They seemed to be very friendly and harmonious.
Thousands of troops had gathered outside Budai Port, and Xiao Nai, Lin Qingshu, and Yang Bin, who almost came to blows over the capture of Nogi Nogi, also met at the entrance of the command department at the same time. Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Yang Bin, the commander of the first division and Tainan Military Division who was the first to be expanded after the war in Taiwan, was the first to arrive. When he saw Xiao Nai and Lin Qingshu coming, he felt quite embarrassed. When he didn't know how to say hello, he had just Xiao Nai, who had been promoted to the commander of the Fourth Division, had already rushed over, put his arms around each other, and laughed loudly: "Master Yang is indeed Master Yang. He is unwilling to be second to none in anything he does. My little brother heard the call from the headquarters today. Ling, I have already rushed with dozens of lashes on horseback. I thought I could compete for the first place, but our master Yang still took the lead. I'm convinced, I'm convinced!" As he said, Pi He kept smiling and made gestures of surrendering.
Lin Qingshu was originally the captain of the second detachment of the Guards. After the Taiwan War, he was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Guards. He was subordinate to Li Zhongyi and was therefore fortunate.He was summoned to attend the meeting at the headquarters, so he arrived early. He happened to see Xiao Nai and Yang Bin holding hands in front of the headquarters, talking and laughing, so he couldn't help but hurried forward and pretended to be surprised: "Hoho hoho, who do I think it is? It turns out that it's two masters who have arrived. They came so early today, but they match your style on the battlefield. Cats are not as diligent as you when they smell fishy, ??brothers. It seems like I¡¯m going to feel bad about myself again this time!¡± Apparently he was still brooding over the war in Tainan, and his tone of voice couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit weird.
Yang Bin knew that Lin Qingshu was very unconvinced, because the second detachment of the Guards led by him also had a share of the credit for the victory over Tainan. But in the end, because Yang Bin was the commander-in-chief of the mixed formation of the Eastern Route Army, Lin Qingshu was under his command. Therefore, it was Yang Bin who was later promoted and awarded the medal. Although in the end Yu Xiaocheng promoted Lin Qingshu to deputy commander-in-chief of the Guards in order to strike a balance, but the military exploits he obtained became someone else's wedding dress, which made him very unwilling. Therefore, Yang Bin did not want to argue with him, but just laughed and said: "As long as you follow our leader, are you afraid that there will be no battles to fight and no military achievements to be made?"
"Master Yang said it well, as long as you follow our leader, everyone can fight and make military achievements! But you three are still too sissy. If I had rushed to Budai Port at that time, Nogi Nogi's head would have been taken away How can you let Lin Shaomao take advantage of you?" A burst of loud laughter suddenly came from behind the three of them, and everyone knew who was speaking without turning around. Except for Lin Shiming, Probably no one dares to speak like this anymore.
The three of them looked at each other, then laughed in unison, ignoring Lin Shiming, and stepped into the headquarters gate one after another. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lin Shiming couldn't help but said angrily: "This time, if any of you dare to take credit from our second division, I will Give him a good look!¡±
The high command's order was to hold a meeting at nine o'clock sharp, but before 8:50, everyone had arrived. Together with the staff staff who were busy working on the military maps and sand table, the newly renovated command hall was given to the commander. It was so crowded that latecomers were pushed to the door, and the whole hall was buzzing with people, as if a vegetable market had just opened for the morning market.
"Everyone, please be silent!" A beautiful figure appeared in front of the door of the command hall at some point. Seeing the noise and chaos in the room, he couldn't help but let out a clear shout. This shout seemed to be filled with huge magic power, and everyone stopped immediately. The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The person who stopped the noise in the hall was Yu Xiaocheng's personal guard, known as the Three Beauty Guards. Among the three sisters, Li Yumei is the sweetest. Although she is not very old, she is still in her cardamom years. She is beautiful and has a beautiful head. The black hair is shining like ink, and the two willow eyebrows are like crescent moon. In the faint light, it looks like a peacock about to open its tail, with its head held high, coupled with a straight and compact Prussian gray The military uniform made him look even more graceful and heroic. Everyone could not help but respect him and praise him secretly after just one glance.
"Here comes the leader!" Then she pushed the door open behind her, stood on one side of the door, and knocked her heels together with a crisp sound. She quickly raised her right hand from her chest, her forearm and palm in a straight line, and her five fingers were pressed together slightly. He put it to his temples and shouted loudly, "Salute, give the highest military salute to the leader!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people walked out from behind the door. The leader was Lin Shixiu, the captain who had just been reorganized from the Internal Security Department into the Internal Security Flag Team. His slender eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were wide. Like two pools of autumn water and frost, when she glanced at the middle and senior officers in the hall who held heavy troops, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. In just a few months, she was still young and cute in everyone's impression, but now she is It gives people a solemn and calm feeling.
Lin Shixiu was closely followed by Wu Xueli and Sun Xiaozhen, the three beauties. When they walked to the side of the door, banged their heels together and raised their hands in salute, an elegant and handsome figure appeared behind the door. Feng Dixing came out and stood in front of everyone.
Everyone in the hall stood at attention and saluted with a "swish" sound when they saw it. Many people were busy with the reorganization, restructuring and rigorous training of the troops. They had not seen the leader for several months. Suddenly, they saw many People's shoulders were shaking slightly with excitement, and some even had tears in their eyes. They shouted at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding: "Salute to the leader!"
Yu Xiaocheng glanced at everyone in the hall, smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to put down their hands, and said: "Everyone is here, and they are on time! Very good, Yonghua, arrange for everyone to sit down immediately, let's start the meeting now !¡±
When a young officer heard the order, he immediately saluted and said loudly: "Yes, my leader!" After saying that, he immediately arranged for the officers of the Adjutant's Office to guide the participants to their seats.
When everyone saw this young officer, they suddenly realized that due to the rapid expansion of the Red Label Army in just a few months, there was an extreme shortage of middle-level officers.Wu Yipeng, the adjutant chief who came here, was transferred to the First Battalion of the Third Regiment under the jurisdiction of Hu Dongning as the battalion commander and became the leader. The vacant division chief was filled by Tang Yonghua, the meeting secretary of the former Secretariat. Many people are also today. It was only after attending the meeting that we learned about the personnel changes. Everyone couldn't help but look at this young officer with admiration, because everyone envied this good job of being able to follow the leader closely and listen to the leader's orders.
Sitting down at the long conference table, Yu Xiaocheng's face sank, and he looked at everyone participating in the meeting majestically. Although the entire command hall was crowded with people, no one said anything, and even stopped breathing. It was as quiet as It looks like an empty auditorium.
Seeing all this, Liu Fuchen, who had been promoted from the mining director to the general political minister at the meeting, couldn't help but secretly marveled. Both the officers and soldiers present looked so young and energetic, eager to try, which made people feel a sharp and sharp sword. A vibrant sense of joy.
The Red Label Army is not only a young team, but also an army full of vigor and high morale. Anyone who participates in it can't help but be infected by this spirit, and feels extremely proud and honored to be a part of it.
The young leader pointed to the sand table placed on the table and said in a deep voice: "I have called you here today to tell you that the days of peace have become a thing of the past, the war has begun, and we, the athletes of the Red Label Army, will march to the battlefield again! He paused for a moment, then slowly swept his eyes over the people attending the meeting, and said word by word, "But this time, our battlefield is no longer a small Taiwan, but thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the vast and magnificent land of China!" The prelude to a new era has fallen, and the Red Label Army must become the brightest and most dazzling star in history!"
