Chapter 4 Four

The result is predictable.It was inevitable that Lao Gu could not find the head of the regiment when he went back to the General Temple;If the failure of the search for the third regiment this time made Lao Gu realize something, or if he was disappointed and lost confidence because of the successive failures in the search, then maybe many things would not happen later, but Lao Gu is what it is He didn't realize it, and he still vowed to find the head of the regiment even if he searched all over China. Based on the general situation at the time, Lao Gu judged that when thousands of troops marched south to welcome the liberation of the whole of China, it was impossible for the three regiments to stand still, and the greatest possibility was to cross the Yangtze River with the large army.Lao Gu felt that his only choice now was to stay in the battalion commander's unit in order to find an opportunity to get in touch with the third regiment.Before Lao Gu went to the battalion commander, the battalion commander had already talked to Lao Gu first.

The battalion commander looked at Lao Gu for a while, but didn't speak. Lao Gu felt a little embarrassed.Lao Gu said, tell me what's going on, I'm guilty! The battalion commander then said, it seems that you will leave sooner or later, your heart is with Santuan, not with us. Lao Gu said honestly, yes, my heart is in Santuan. The battalion commander said, I can tell, you didn't lie to me, you are indeed from the third regiment.If you plan to stay with me for a long time, I can ask the chief for instructions, and I can also arrange a platoon leader for you. Lao Gu still said honestly, don't, I will leave sooner or later, and I can't do well if you get a platoon leader.

The battalion commander sighed, then I have to wrong you to continue to be your groom. Lao Gu said, just the groom, the groom is very good. Therefore, Lao Gu continued to stay in the battalion commander's army as a groom. In fact, what Lao Gu said was against his will. According to Lao Gu's bloody spirit, what he longed for was charging and fighting on the battlefield.How could he be willing to be a groom in the battalion commander's army! But Lao Gu knew very well that once he became the platoon leader of the battalion commander's army, he might never find his third regiment, never find him head of the team.

A few days later, Lao Gu went all the way south with the battalion commander's troops, crossed the Yangtze River, and hit Fujian in one go, driving Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan.By the end of May 1950, the People's Liberation Army had wiped out all Kuomintang troops in mainland China.But Lao Gu still hasn't found his third regiment and its leader. At that moment, Lao Gu became very depressed and extremely depressed, wishing to scold his father and mother loudly. Lao Gu was completely and utterly disappointed. Lao Gu really couldn't think of whether to continue looking for the team leader next, or to go home and live with the child bride-in-law.According to the arrangement of the superiors, the battalion commander's troops were divided into two halves, one half stayed to participate in local construction, and the other half remained in the troops to prepare to go to the northeast to participate in the suppression of bandits.Lao Gu was just left behind.Lao Gu felt a little nervous.Lao Gu wondered if the group leader and the others would also go to the Northeast, if that was the case, he could not stay.Otherwise, he might lose an opportunity and never find the leader again.

At this time, Lao Ge got a piece of news unexpectedly. It was a fellow from Laogu who told him the news. In 1938, Lao Xiang and Lao Gu went from their hometown in Central Fujian to South Shandong to support the War of Resistance. At that time, the two were in the same column, Lao Gu was in the third regiment, and Lao Xiang was in the fifth regiment. Bai and Bai never saw each other again. The fellow told Lao Gu that after the Third Regiment took part in the cross-river operation, they went north to participate in the suppression of bandits in the Northeast after reaching Fuzhou. Lao Gu's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he held on to the fellow.Lao Gu said, is your news true or false? The fellow said, of course it is true.

Lao Gu was so excited that he punched the fellow hard.He immediately ran to the battalion commander, and asked the battalion commander to take him to the northeast no matter what he said. The battalion commander didn’t take it seriously. The battalion commander said, I didn’t pour cold water on you. Even if you go to the northeast, what should you do if you can’t find the regiment leader? Don't go all over China to find it. Lao Gu said stubbornly, just take me to the northeast, I don't believe that the head of the group will fly to the sky, and I will not be able to find him. The battalion commander said, in my opinion, you should go home, you can't look for it anymore, it's time for you to start a family and start a business.

Lao Gu said, I can't even find the regimental commander, what kind of family am I? Anyway, battalion commander, you have to take me to the northeast.Lao Gu told the battalion commander that unless he was killed, he would climb to the northeast with the battalion commander's troops even if he climbed. The battalion commander sighed. The battalion commander felt that there was really nothing he could do about Lao Gu. Really decided to go to the Northeast, Lao Gu became homesick instead.Home is right in front of him! The love of his hometown made his heart so hot that he couldn't stop.
