Chapter 56 Hell on Earth

But on the battlefield where flesh and blood are everywhere, human life seems so fragile and unpredictable. In one second, he is a complete person, but in the next second, he may be blown into pieces by a cannonball. This pair of human beings

The psychological endurance is an extremely huge impact. If an untrained person directly enters such a cruel war scene, his spirit will often be close to the edge of collapse.

Human beings have a natural tendency to be "superstitious" about things that they are unable to grasp but are closely related to themselves. On the battlefield, even the life that is most important to mankind is in a state of extreme uncertainty. This situation

Nowadays, "battlefield superstitions" are emerging one after another. In the final analysis, these so-called "battlefield superstitions" mean that soldiers are extremely insecure about their lives and hope to improve their survival with the help of these mysterious-sounding "superstitions"

Rate.

For example, a very popular "superstition" on the battlefield is "changing clothes".

What does it mean? When changing clothes, you can't change all the clothes, but change them one by one - a pair of socks today and a top tomorrow. Because only the soldiers who died in battle can wear new clothes or

Clean clothes. Therefore, "alive" officers and soldiers are very taboo about changing all their clothes at once. According to the memory of Mr. Zhou Mingdao, who once served as a major general translator in the New First Army, a platoon leader was killed because of an encounter.

It rained heavily and all his clothes were wet. The platoon leader probably didn't care much about the superstition of "changing clothes", so he changed all his clothes at once.

However, the company commander attaches great importance to this "superstition", so in order to prevent this "curse" of "changing clothes" from being fulfilled on the platoon leader, he handed over the combat tasks that originally belonged to the platoon leader to other platoons.

Commander. In fact, everyone understands the good intentions of the company commander.

However, due to the fierce fighting, the platoon leader also participated in the battle the next day. However, during that battle, the other platoon leaders were fine, but the platoon leader who "changed clothes" was killed.

Afterwards, the company commander shook his head repeatedly and lamented: "He shouldn't have changed all his clothes at once."

According to the so-called modern scientific theory, we will certainly feel that there is no inevitable connection between changing clothes and death in battle. However, the subtle and wonderful correlations of many things in the world may not be fully explained by modern science.

Just like Chen Yinke said that traditional Chinese medicine is "impossible to explain, but it has testable effects" - that is, if you use modern Western science, sometimes you can't explain traditional Chinese medicine, but according to these "unreasonable" theories of traditional Chinese medicine, you can't explain it.

It can indeed cure many diseases.

I met a blind doctor who was good at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Diseases that could not be cured in many big hospitals could be cured by him.

What’s even more amazing is that most of the medicines used by this blind doctor are common foods in our daily lives, such as mung beans, red beans, raisins, etc.

The most amazing thing is that no matter what kind of disease you have, the "drugs" used are probably the same. The only thing that changes is the number of mung beans, red beans, etc. For example, for Zhang San's disease, he used 21 mung beans.

21 raisins, but for Li Si's illness, he was given 20 mung beans and 20 raisins. Besides, he didn't care about the size of the mung beans, etc., he only cared about the number.

From the point of view of modern science, this makes no sense at all, but according to the Chinese culture of Xiangmao, it is a very profound knowledge.

I only want to give this example to illustrate that although the correlation between many things is relatively absurd according to the current scientific theory, this phenomenon cannot be completely rashly denied.

If we really had to go to the battlefield, I think most of us would be wary of this superstition of "changing clothes."

In the Japanese army, various "battlefield superstitions" are also popular. For example, Japanese soldiers are accustomed to wearing an amulet called "Thousand People's Sewing" - they take a piece of cloth and let a thousand women passing by each time wear it.

A person can get one stitch. It is said that if you carry this "thousand stitches" with you, you can avoid bullets."

When my cousin heard Wang Zhengkui mention the word "blind doctor", his eyes lit up. He quickly asked tentatively: "Then this 'blind doctor' is a strange person, he actually has such ability."

Wang Zhengkui suddenly felt very emotional and murmured: "Yes, in fact, he is indeed a strange man. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive now. I would have died decades ago."

My cousin lost no time and quickly asked: "Then what kind of 'strange' method does this 'strange man' have?"

Wang Zhengkui seemed to be immersed in memories, his eyes were bright: "I think he is more powerful than the legendary Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. I have never met anyone in my life, ranging from emperors and generals to merchants and lackeys.

I have met Mr. Chiang Kai-shek many times, but I don’t think any of them can be called a ‘wonderful man’, except this blind man.”

The cousin found that Wang Zhengkui didn't seem to be too taboo about talking about the blind man, so he summoned up the courage to ask directly: "In our county annals, there are several books about the strange things about the blind man, and the blind men recorded in these books seem to

They are all the same person, but the time span is more than three hundred years, so this is very strange in itself, and the deeds of the blind man you came into contact with are all recorded in detail in the book."

After hearing this, Wang Zhengkui opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Is it true? How could anyone know so clearly? I have never mentioned it to anyone. Please tell me what happened about the blind man recorded in the book."

The cousin then told how the blind man disguised himself as a doctor, how he planned to kill Sakata, and how he killed all the Japanese mountaineers who bloodbathed Wang Zhengkui's village.

Wang Zhengkui was dumbfounded and couldn't help but admire him. After his cousin finished speaking for a long time, he calmed down and sighed and said: "I have never heard of this paragraph before, and I didn't expect that he did all this.

Yes, it is said in ancient books that 'ten thousand enemies are the enemy', so he may have this ability."

Seeing that Wang Zhengkui was not at all uneasy about talking about the blind man, his cousin gave up his previous worries. He carefully asked Wang Zhengkui: "You are the only person who has had close contact with the blind man. You came down from the blind man to assassinate Sakata."

Did you never see each other again after that?"

Wang Zhengkui did not answer in a hurry, but just lifted up the trousers of his left leg, revealing a palm-sized, strange scar on his calf - this scar was like a honeycomb, that is, there were secret numb spots on the flesh.

My cousin Kong couldn't imagine what kind of injury could cause such a scar.

Then, Wang Zhengkui did not answer his cousin's question directly, but told about his experience in Yeren Mountain during the Anti-Japanese War: "Yeren Mountain is called "Hukang Valley" in Burmese, which means "the place where the devil lives."

.

There were 40,000 troops entering Savage Mountain, but only 8,000 troops came out. In other words, only 1 out of 5 troops came out.

That place was simply scarier than hell.

One of my adjutants fell ill and fell behind. He rested under a big tree for the night and turned into a pile of bones the next day - eaten by ants. Even the ants are so ferocious in Savage Valley.

Leeches, mosquitoes, various poisonous insects, malaria, dengue fever, scarlet fever, and diarrhea are all huge threats to human life, and there is no food to eat. It was the rainy season at that time, and the raindrops were as big as small eggs, and they could fall on the ground in a few minutes.

How to sleep with only one or two feet? The swamp on the ground is sometimes waist deep, and every step you take will cost you a lot.

There was a division commander who was injured and lying on a stretcher, and he evacuated to Savage Mountain with the troops. Due to the harsh self-heating environment, the wound worsened, and he was ultimately unable to leave Savage Mountain. This division commander had a driver who had been with him for many years. This time the division commander came out to fight.

He did not take Wang Peiqing with him, but left him at home to take care of his family. One night, the driver behind him seemed to be half asleep and had a strange dream: he dreamed that the division commander was wearing a neat military uniform and walked into

One was in a temple on the mountain, then he opened the temple door, looked at it for a while, and then closed the door solemnly.

Shortly after Wang waited for his driver, he received a telegram that the division commander had been killed in action. Later, a staff officer who was with the division commander at the time confirmed that the division commander died in a temple on a mountain.

There was also a military commander who contracted dengue fever and was unconscious on a stretcher for two days and nights. In order to carry him, more than 20 young soldiers sacrificed their precious lives. One of them also included the commander of his guard battalion.

I saw such information in a book - more than twenty years later, a group of guerrillas from the Kachin Gang in Myanmar entered the Savage Mountain to fight guerrillas. When they entered a cave with the entrance covered by vines, they were shocked.

Stunned: It is full of bones! This is when Du Yuming passed through the Savage Mountain, a certain group of soldiers came to this cave to take shelter or rest, because the caves in the Savage Mountain generally have miasma, and these soldiers were too tired and weak.

, so that they died collectively in this cave. Those are our brothers who fought side by side.

I remember a company commander named Wang Fang. He had a very good relationship with an orderly under his command. The orderly had an injured foot and could not walk. Wang Bofang was reluctant to leave him behind, so he carried him all the way. But when he came to a place with very steep terrain,

At the bottom of the hillside, everyone had to pull a rope to climb up. Wang Bofang faced an extremely difficult decision:

It is no longer possible to carry this wounded soldier on his back. He can only keep this wounded soldier here. This is the end of his life. But look at this young wounded soldier, his eyes are full of the desire to live.

Besides, we can get out of Savage Mountain soon.

what to do?

The officer behind saw Wang Fang and the others hesitating, so he quickly came over to see what was going on. When the officer understood the situation, he made a prompt decision and quietly gave an order in Wang Bofang's ear.
