Others may escape, but they are definitely not us; other troops may retreat, but they will never be our 29th Army Military Training Corps

Chapter 5 Unexpected Error

I remember seeing such a historical event in modern times: in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang army arranged nearly 30,000 troops to defend the troops in Nanyuan, Nandamen, Peking (now Beijing), including two regular troops and a military training regiment. These two regular troops included an infantry division and a cavalry division, while the military training regiment was a student soldier who had just been recruited, with a large number of only five or six thousand people.

Some people may wonder how the student soldiers who have not been trained appeared on the front-line battlefield, but this was a very normal thing at that time, because the custom of the National Army was to arrange new recruits to the front-line training. I don’t know if this was done to speed up the training or for other reasons. In short, this student army that had just entered the battlefield was facing the Japanese attack directly on the battlefield.

According to common sense, the student soldiers had no training and no combat experience, so the burden of guarding Nanyuan should naturally fall on the shoulders of the two regular troops, but what everyone could not imagine was... The bombing of the Japanese army's planes and cannons scared away the two regular troops. They did not even notify the military training regiment when they retreated!

If the student soldiers of the military training regiment were all blown away by Japanese planes and cannons like regular troops, that would be fine! But the problem lies in the fact that most of these student soldiers volunteered to go to the battlefield with the belief of dying for their own country, and a regretful scene occurred... Thousands of student soldiers did not know that friendly troops had withdrawn, and fought with the well-trained and several times the number of Japanese troops in Nanyuan alone. In the end, they were inevitably surrounded in Nanyuan and wiped out the entire army. Among the people who died were Tong Linge, who was also the leader of the Nanyuan Military Training regiment...

The reason why I remember his name so clearly is that he was the first general to fall in the War of Resistance Against Japan!

"Sir!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "You... no, are our regiment commanders Tong Linge?"

Platoon leader Chi did not answer positively, but looked at me unexpectedly and asked, "How do you know him?"

"Well! I heard from others..." I found an excuse to make excuses, and at the same time, my heart couldn't help but sink. Now things are clear. The troops I am in are this military training group that is about to be wiped out!

What can I do? I couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts. As the saying goes, there are eggs left after the collapse of the nest. If the military training team is wiped out, how can I save my life under the Japanese bayonet?

"Sir!" Thinking of this, I immediately stopped the platoon leader Chi who was about to leave and said, "Do you think... something seems to be wrong?"

"What else can I have?" Platoon Commander Chi responded impatiently: "I said, you kid, it's enough to fight the Japanese by yourself. I still want to think about this and that problem..."

"Sir!" I interrupted Platoon Leader Chi and said, "Do you think... the little Japanese artillery fire kept greeting us? Did you say that there was no other place for our troops?"

"Huh..." Hearing the words, platoon leader of the Chi couldn't help but gasp. After a long time, he nodded with a serious expression and said, "After you say this, something is really wrong. You are here to guard me, I'll react to the situation!"

"Yes!" I nodded and responded, and at the same time, I thought to myself that I could not hear any sound of cannons. When the Japanese were shooting, I just thought about how to save my life and how could I take care of other things.

Everyone says there are two types of sharpshooters, one refers to wherever you hit, and the other refers to wherever you hit. Obviously, I belong to the second type.

After a while, I saw the platoon leader coming back with a worried look on his face. I hurriedly came up and asked.

Platoon Commander Chi shook his head and replied: "The situation is not clear yet, and the phone can't be reached. The company commander has already reacted to the regiment commander! His grandma, these guys are not..."

Platoon Commander Chi stopped talking about it, but his face became very ugly. Seeing this, I felt a little relieved. Platoon Commander Chi is a veteran, so he certainly knew what kind of qualities of friendly troops. Judging from his current attitude, he probably guessed that friendly troops had retreated without reporting. The reason why he didn't say it was because the facts were not determined and that it would affect the morale of the entire army.

Now all I can do is wait. I poked my head out with guilt and looked in the direction of the Japanese army. It was terrible. Except for the fact that some unrescued wounded people in the positions of the two armies, they could hardly hear any sound.

But I know that this is a sign of the coming storm. The reason why Japan has not attacked at this time is probably because we are already in the encirclement. At this time, they are just waiting to mobilize their troops to launch a fatal blow to us!

I shyly retracted my head and leaned on the trench weakly, dazed. Until now, I can't believe that all this is true. Look at the blood and corpses nearby, look at the fully armed national army beside me, and then look at the rifle loaded with bullets in my hands... All this is like a dream, but it is so real...

Let's be at peace after coming. It took a long time before I sighed: Even if this is a dream, I don't want to be the dead soul of the little Japanese gun, right? So the wisest thing now is to adapt to all this as soon as possible and do your best to save your life!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to the rifle in my hand. Actually, I am not unfamiliar with this kind of gun, because I have seen its figure on movies and TV many times. It is full of 1 meter and weighs seven or eight pounds. However, I still can't call its name until now. I fumbled for a while before I saw the word "Zhongzheng" on it. Only then did I realize that this is the official rifle in the anti-Japanese famous gun...

"Platform Commander Chi!" Just as I was fiddling with the rifle in my hand, Company Commander Xu frowned and waved to Platoon Chi to signal him to go over, so I knew that something must have been wrong.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard the soldiers around me whispering:

"Have you heard of it? The 9th and 132nd Cavalry Divisions on our left and right wings have long been withdrawn!"

"What? Impossible! They are regular soldiers, with more than 20,000 troops coming... This battle has just begun..."

"What's impossible? All the correspondents we sent out said!"

"That's right, I heard it with my own ears. Correspondent Wang Dacheng said that in the military headquarters, there was not even a bird's feather except for a disheveled wounded soldier!"

"How could they retreat without saying a word?"

"That's right, they retreat first and leave us as a shield to kill us later. I won't do it!"

"Yes! I won't do it!"

...

The discussion grew louder and louder, and the news spread in the army like a plague. After a while, all the soldiers were furious, and some even took off their military uniforms and threw their rifles on the ground and shouted that they wanted to go home to farm...

Only then did I realize that I had done something bad inadvertently, why was I so stupid? These student soldiers were fighting against the Japanese with all their passion. If they didn’t know that more than 20,000 regular troops on both wings had fled, it would be fine. Once they knew, it would have hit their morale to a great extent?

This is not enough! Seeing this, I couldn't help but think. If the situation continues like this, then our army will be dispersed before the Japanese come to attack us. My life will be...

"Brothers!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wave my hand to shout at the angry warriors: "Brothers, have you all forgotten why you came here?"

When I shouted like this, the soldiers immediately became much less.

As soon as I saw that there was a chance, I continued to shout while the iron was hot: "That's right! There are indeed many people in our team who are afraid of life and death and only seek to protect themselves, but why don't you think about it? It is because our country has these people that Japan is a small and small country that is a powerful country in our Chinese land. Do you also want to be part of them?"

The soldiers couldn't help but stop the movements in their hands, looking at me and I see that no one is talking to you.

I knew they were fighting for thought, so I continued to shout to them, "Today you can leave or escape, but brothers, think about your fellow villagers, think about your relatives who died tragically under the Japanese bayonet, and think about the country groaning under the iron hooves of little Japan. Do you feel worthy of them? Do you feel worthy of yourself?

"Brothers!" Finally, I waved my hand and shouted to them almost madly: "Who are we? We are Chinese soldiers, we are the 29th Army Military Training Group! Others may escape, but they are definitely not us; other troops may retreat, but they will never be our 29th Army Military Training Group! I would rather fight for the dead ghost than be a slave to the country!"

"I would rather fight a dead ghost than a slave to a devastated country!"

...

"There are enemies but no one, and I am invincible!"

"There are enemies but no one, and I am invincible!"

...

Seeing the soldiers shouting slogans with me over and over again, I knew I had succeeded.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh, student soldiers are student soldiers, and they are so easily bewitched...
