Tang Cheng originally thought that Station Commander Mao's statement about going to lead troops to fight was just a joke, but he didn't expect that a week later, Station Commander Mao suddenly wanted to treat him to a drink. Looking at Station Commander Mao in front of him, who was wearing a military uniform and had a solemn expression, Tang Cheng
Cheng knew that he had guessed wrong. This guy was really going to the battlefield. "Brother Tang, I know you have always looked down on me." After the two sat down, Station Commander Mao's first words shocked Tang Cheng.
to jump up.
"Sit down first and listen to what I have to say." As if he was satisfied with Tang Cheng's reaction, Station Commander Mao burst out laughing. "I know you are capable, and I can see that you people have fought hard battles.
, but people with some ability always look down on those who are worse than them. Guys like me who are hiding behind and waiting to die are not the kind of people you look down on." Tang Cheng was completely dumbfounded. What was the man named Mao doing today?
, and as soon as he came up, he reduced himself to a kind of people who were just waiting to die.
He grabbed the wine glass on the table and signaled to Tang Cheng. Before Tang Cheng could reach out and grab the wine glass, Station Master Mao had already downed his first glass of wine. Xu noticed that Tang Cheng looked at him with a somewhat confused look.
Weird, stationmaster Mao, who was pouring wine into the cup, smiled and said, "I'm not sick or stupid. You don't have to look at me like this. I just want to go to the front line to fight the Japanese. As long as I can go to the front to fight the Japanese, that's it."
It doesn't matter if I lose ten years of my life. Compared with those brothers who died on the front line, I can already be considered lucky."
Webmaster Mao, who has always been gentle and bright, has such a side. This is something Tang Cheng never expected. He doesn't think it is the result of Webmaster Mao's own perception. This guy must have suffered something to make such a decision.
Exciting results. "You know, the 58th Army won the battle on the front line, a great victory." After a few glasses of wine, Station Commander Mao's face had turned red, and he began to be confused and slurred when he spoke. Tangcheng
It took a lot of effort to hear clearly what he was saying.
"After winning the battle, we can have an explanation to the superiors. At least the Ministry of Military Affairs will not choke our necks when it allocates supplies to our 58th Army. But do you know? Do you know?" Station Commander Mao suddenly stood up.
His eyes widened and he shouted, "But do you know how many brothers we have died? The Paoze who had gathered together for a drink not long ago is gone, gone. I heard that some regiments have less than a company of brothers left alive."
, and there are only a dozen brothers left in one battalion, which may not even have enough manpower for a platoon."
Tangcheng was stunned by the news brought by Stationmaster Mao. Stationmaster Mao, who was shouting hoarsely, had tears and snot all over his face. He hugged the wine bottle on the table and burst into tears. Tangcheng and the others were in the 58th Army.
Now that I have settled down in the shelter, I only heard that the 58th Army went to Fengxin on the day I woke up. Later, I didn’t pay attention to the news about the 58th Army. Suddenly I heard Station Commander Mao say that the 58th Army had won a great victory. Tang
Tang Cheng was originally very happy, but after hearing what Station Master Mao said later, Tang Cheng was completely confused.
A regiment with more than a thousand men was beaten down to less than one company. It can be imagined that the battle situation was tragic at that time. Whether in Nanjing or Mengcheng, Tangcheng had experienced the painful loss of their robes, especially Liu Yangang's.
He died in the battle in Mengcheng, so Tangcheng could understand Station Commander Mao's mood at this moment. "Although I, Mao Zicheng, am not a good man who serves the country and the people, I also know the truth of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. I will not drive out the little devil."
, we Chinese will never want to live a comfortable life."
After half a bottle of wine, Webmaster Mao, who had always spoken impeccably, smelled of alcohol. Fortunately, this was Webmaster Mao's office, and Tang Cheng was not afraid that anyone would hear the conversation between the two of them. "I think you are still the same.
It's better to leave your soldiers under the command of others. The battlefield is not what you imagine. People will always die in battles. The danger of the battlefield is also beyond your imagination. I have seen too many casualties since I left Shanghai.
, I have experienced what you just said, and there are worse things than what you said."
Tang Cheng really wanted to persuade Webmaster Mao not to act brave for a moment, but Webmaster Mao, who was already drunk, thought that Tang Cheng still looked down on him. "I knew it, I knew you still looked down on me, you always thought I was just a
I'm just waiting to die. I don't believe it. I'm going to go to the front and fight a few victorious battles to show you people. I, Mao Zicheng, can also lead troops to fight. I, Mao Zicheng, am not afraid of death."
Station Commander Mao, who was drunk, repeated those few words over and over. Tang Cheng couldn't help but frown. It was not a good thing to be on the battlefield in such a state. Once a mistake was made, it would probably put the entire company into danger. But
No matter how Tang Cheng tried to persuade him, Webmaster Mao refused to let go of those few words. He kept clamoring to prove himself to Tang Cheng. "Webmaster Mao, whether you are afraid of death or not is not just something you say with your mouth. I have seen many
You screamed loudly, but later on, when the overwhelming shells came, those guys all turned into idiots."
"But I'm different." Mao Zicheng suddenly burst out and swept the wine bottles and dishes on the table to the ground. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Cheng's collar tightly and said word by word, "The battle of Chongyang, the two of us.
A brother died there. Three days ago, the youngest of our four brothers also died in Fengxin. There are no cowards in our Mao family. All three of my brothers have died on the battlefield, so I went to the front line to prepare
Life remains there."
It felt bad to be grabbed by the collar. If it was normal, Tang Cheng would have turned against Mao Zicheng and pulled out a gun. But facing Mao Zicheng, whose eyes were red, Tang Cheng could not do such a move. Unexpectedly
This guy is still a loyal man, and three of his four brothers have already died. No wonder Tang Cheng always felt that it was weird for a major like Mao Zicheng to act as the head of the shelter. It turned out that the 58th Army saw that their two brothers had already sacrificed their lives for the country.
I'm taking care of Mao Zicheng to save my face.
"You have to think carefully. The dangers on the battlefield are beyond your imagination. The soldiers under your command may still listen to you now, but if you can't bring them victory, if you can't lead them to survive on the battlefield,
Come down, these guys may shoot you in the back. Soldiers are very practical. All they want is to have a full stomach and survive on the battlefield. If you can't do these two things, I advise you to do it as soon as possible.
Give up the idea of going to the battlefield. If you go, it will only cost you your life, and it will also cost the lives of the soldiers under your command."
Seeing that Station Commander Mao didn't seem to understand what he was saying, Tang Cheng immediately slowed down and said slowly, "The battlefield is changing rapidly. The orders issued by your commander one moment may not be applicable the next moment. At this time, you
What you need to do is to lead the people around you to survive. Only by saving your life can you better kill the little Japanese. If you blindly cater to the commander's intention, you will inevitably use the lives of your soldiers to pave the way and pave a road that belongs to you.
Your Qingyun Dao, I just don’t know if you can do that.”
This time, Mao Zicheng was dumbfounded. He had never known that there were so many details on the battlefield. He had never even heard of what Tang Cheng just said. "I didn't tell you that I was from the 88th Division.
Humans, right? The 88th Division can be regarded as the direct line of the National Army, but what about the direct line? When we were in Nanjing, we were used as cannon fodder by the teaching regiment. After a few battles, our second company was only
There are three people who survived. Although we also killed many little Japs, no one remembers us. So, you have to remember that from the moment you go to the battlefield, you cannot regard yourself as a living person."
"If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must first treat yourself as a dead person. Only in this way can you have the courage to fight to the death with the little devils. The Japanese army also has human heart and flesh, and they are not just three-headed and six-armed. They are hit by bullets.
You will feel pain and death, and you will scream and panic. Since I can't persuade you, I can only wish you good luck on the battlefield and don't let others use you as cannon fodder. The end will be miserable, really.
"Mao Zicheng had made up his mind, and Tang Cheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he said goodbye and left. After walking far away, he looked back and saw that the lights were still on in Mao Zicheng's office.
Mao Zicheng left, taking with him more than a hundred defeated soldiers who had recovered their ability to move. He left quietly. Except for the two sentries at the shelter, no one knew that Mao Zicheng and the others left the shelter in the middle of the night.
Suddenly there were more than a hundred people missing from the shelter. The noisy shelter that had been bustling all day suddenly calmed down. Tang Cheng, who was lying in the yard basking in the sun every day, was fine. It was just Liu Shitou and the others who couldn't sit still and felt a little restless.
I always ask when Tangcheng will leave here.
"I'm afraid it will take another two months for your injury to be fully recovered. Now, let alone a big car, you can't even ride a truck. It will be very troublesome if the wound opens." Mu Lianshan would ask for help every few days.
Tang Cheng took the pulse and checked the recovery of the wound. With his diagnosis, Liu Shitou and others no longer pestered Tang Cheng to ask when to leave. Without Mao Zicheng, the shelter was without a stationmaster. Tang Cheng originally thought that this shelter
It would be closed soon. Unexpectedly, on the third day after Mao Zicheng left, wounded soldiers from the 58th Army were brought to the shelter one after another from the front line.
"Company Commander Tang, we meet again." Tang Cheng, who was squinting in the sun, looked at Huang Chengzhong who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise. Didn't this guy already become the company commander? And the troops of the 58th Army should be here by now.
Fengxin is the right one, but why did this guy come to Liuyang? Perhaps sensing Tang Cheng's doubts, Huang Chengzhong replied with a smile, "I am not a deserter, I am a serious wounded soldier who has been withdrawn to rest in the rear."
Only then did Tang Cheng notice that there was something wrong with Huang Chengzhong's body. The sleeve on his right arm was actually empty. "I'm pretty good, but I'm just missing an arm. None of the brothers who followed me survived. The ones in front were shot.
It's so miserable, and so many people died." Huang Chengzhong waved his empty sleeves nonchalantly, "It's not bad, I traded one arm for the position of the director of the shelter, you think I am
