The cold wind in winter feels a bit cold on my face!
The bonfire is very warm!
Tang Dao slowly opened his eyes!
He slept long enough that Tang Dao, whose pupils were adjusting to the warm light, didn't know what month or day it was now.
Turning his eyes slightly, he saw the profile sitting next to him with his head lowered and his chin in his hands, staring at the bonfire.
Tang Dao felt slightly relieved. The person in front of him was still there, and the military uniform was still the dark blue military uniform issued by the Northeast Army. Thinking about it, not too much time had passed.
However, he remembered that it was December 8th before he fell asleep. Now, has the city been broken? Tang Dao felt sad again in his heart!
The ending that has been foreseen but destined to be unchangeable may become the inner demon that Tang Dao can never get rid of, just like the words "I like you" that Gu Xishui never said when bidding farewell to Yao Meier.
I will always be brooding with you throughout my life.
Tang Dao exerted a little force, and the stretcher made of branches tied under him made a slight creaking sound, startling Tantai Mingyue who was looking at the bonfire in deep thought. He suddenly looked back and saw Tang Dao looking at him in the dim light of the fire.
His eyes were like morning stars, and he couldn't help but be filled with surprise, and whispered softly: "You're awake!"
A smile appeared on Tang Dao's face, "Yes, I have slept well!"
After saying that, he turned over and sat up. With a slight exertion, Tang Dao had never felt so good. His strength was connected to hundreds of meridians, as if every hair was under his control. At that moment, Tang Dao was even sure that
, even if his combat power has not reached the peak of his previous life, the distance is still extremely limited.
In a sense, this body that is completely controlled by him is far younger than in his previous life, and has more development potential. In time, he will become a more terrifying warrior than the "Tiger of the Border" a hundred years ago.
That comes from the intuition and confidence of a warrior!
This sleep actually brought such a big unexpected surprise, and all hidden dangers were removed. Tang Dao was very happy. He turned to look at Tantai Mingyue, but saw that Tantai Mingyue's eyes were full of tears, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Tight: “What time is it now?”
"Jinling has fallen!" Tantai Mingyue let out a mournful cry and threw herself into Tang Dao's arms.
Her arms were hugging her so tightly, but her tears were so gushing that Tang Dao could clearly feel the constant impact of the hot tears on his neck.
This may be the closest contact the two have had since they met and fell in love, but there is nothing charming about it.
A young man and woman hugging each other tightly, each fell into great sorrow!
Because that big city is the heart of the entire country, and there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians in it. Their life and death are in the hands of a group of beasts. The entire country has entered its darkest moment.
Tang Dao already knows the ending, but for Tantai Mingyue in this era, more sorrow and fear come from the unknown.
Moreover, she also has to bear pressure from the outside world.
Because news of the city's destruction came, the Japanese troops who rushed into the city began to loot the city, and the marching independent battalion began to divide into two groups.
One group believed that it was necessary to stick to the march route previously planned by Tang Dao and retreat to Xuzhou following the evacuation route of the 43rd Army, waiting for replenishment before fighting the Japanese again;
The other group, on the other hand, was so inflamed with rage caused by the cruel news that they almost lost their minds. They believed that the Independent Battalion, as the most elite force around Jinling, sat back and watched our Chinese soldiers and civilians being massacred by the Japanese invaders. This was a mistake for all China.
The shame of a soldier is that even if he retreats to save his life, he will eventually feel guilty for it for the rest of his life. With Tang Dao's determination in fighting the Japanese army before, if he wakes up, he will angrily denounce their escapeism.
The leading faction is led by several officers led by Lei Xiong, Li Jijin, Cheng Tietsou, and Pang Panghai. They are all the backbones of the independent battalion. However, the leading faction is not weak at all. The leader is the deputy battalion commander Guo Shouzhi.
Several Sichuan Army company commanders expressed support, and even the three main company commanders, Leng Feng, Qian Dazhu, and Zhao Daqiang, stood on their side.
The three hundred young students who were originally entrusted by Tantai Yunshu to protect him are firmly on the side of the main war faction.
Of course, everyone knows that this almost sharp opposition has nothing to do with the so-called mountain tops and factions.
"When the Japanese invaders enter the city, they will massacre both soldiers and civilians in our city!" This was the last message that Tantai Mingyue's colleagues in Jinling City sent to Tantai Mingyue through the newspaper's radio station.
.
The mid-level officers of the Independence Battalion went crazy.
At dusk that day, more than a dozen excited lieutenants led their subordinates, knelt down in the direction of Jinling City, cut their foreheads and cheeks with bayonets, and swore a blood oath. If they did not avenge this blood, they would not die well in this life.
.
The ancient blood oath of stabbing one's face for revenge only appeared among ethnic minorities in China during the cold weapon era. The Han people would never have made such a decisive oath easily if they were not heartbroken.
Pain, rage, rage, self-blame, and various complex and intertwined emotions seemed to make these elite troops lose their minds.
In fact, it's not just that.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion had not really realized what the real reason was that prompted them to do this.
That's because, under the leadership of Tang Dao, the Independent Battalion fought against the Japanese invaders continuously and developed a military spirit unique to the Independent Battalion. Although everyone has not yet realized it, it has actually sprouted in the hearts of every independent battalion soldier.
and grow.
The sense of honor of the military, the sense of responsibility of the Chinese Army, and the sense of mission to protect the homeland and the country have become what these soldiers strive to protect for the rest of their lives.
The city could be breached, but innocent civilians were massacred, completely irritating the independent battalion troops who were gradually moving away from the battlefield in accordance with military orders.
The soldiers of the Independence Battalion, who were driven mad by the blood feud, did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the Independence Battalion's second-in-command, Lei Xiong, for the first time.
Even Lei Xiong, who has always been decisive in killing, fell into hesitation. On the one hand, it was Tang Dao's strict order, and on the other hand, it was the unforgettable blood feud. As a soldier, where should he go?
Moreover, the main combatants headed by Guo Shouzhi were right. The retreat order was issued by Tang Dao before the Japanese army started massacring civilians. When he woke up and found that the people he was trying to protect were in such a situation, he
Will you regret it?
Lei Xiong couldn't be sure, but based on his understanding of Tang Dao, the possibility was greater than 99%. This was why the three main infantry company commanders, Leng Feng, Qian Dazhu, and Zhao Daqiang, stood up and advocated fighting the Japanese army.
main reason.
Because, they all believed that Tang Dao would do what they thought, and the revenge of the day would be avenged on the same day, and it would not be too late after ten years.
The upper echelons of the independent camp were divided into two factions, and all the pressure was concentrated on Tantai Mingyue, a weak woman. In a sense, she was not only the idol of the soldiers, but also represented part of Tang Dao's will, even if she had been trapped in
The sleeping Tang Dao will never wake up again, and she will also be the spiritual totem of the independent camp.
This is the responsibility that one must bear as the lover of Tang Dao, the supreme commander.
But she is not a soldier, so she cannot give answers to the officers of the two factions. She can only wait for Tang Dao to wake up, because she believes that Tang Dao will definitely wake up and point out the right direction for this entangled and capable army, whether it is
Retreat temporarily or choose to fight to the death.
In the past few days, she has never left Tang Dao's side.
Even Hammer was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and no longer as quiet as before. He stayed around Tang Dao every day until the entire army crossed the Yangtze River and entered the Laoshan Mountains in Pukou, and then entered the mountains at night to carry out his own hunting.
However, it never ate its prey again. Instead, it dragged the killed prey to the military camp. Maybe it also knew that fresh meat could provide enough energy for Tang Dao! Tantai Mingyue chopped the meat into fine pieces with a big knife.
Boil it in porridge, and feed Tang Dao meat porridge twice a day.
To supply Tang Dao with enough energy.
Otherwise, Tang Dao's body would have been unable to hold on long ago, but it was not like he could still have the wonderful feeling of completely controlling his body now.
Seeing Tang Dao really wake up at this moment, Tantai Mingyue, who was under great psychological pressure, naturally released her emotions suddenly. She couldn't help but threw herself into Tang Dao's arms and cried bitterly.
Feeling Tantai Mingyue's hot tears and her extremely sad mood, Tang Dao's heart felt like needle pricks. However, Tantai Mingyue could use tears to vent his inner pain, but Tang Dao could not.
Tang Dao finally felt keenly that Tantai Mingyue was surging and the pressure released by Peng Bai, and with a slight frown on his brows, he realized that he must have been arguing about how to march while he was unconscious.
Originally, with Lei Xiong's ability, there was no problem in subduing these warriors, but after the heart-wrenching news came out of Jinling City, it might not be possible.
However, Tang Dao was not in a hurry to do anything. Instead, he used his eyes to signal Erya, Xia Dayu, Lao Hei, Gu Xishui and others who were alarmed by Tantai Mingyue's cries to stay quiet and wait, waiting for Tantai Mingyue.
The tears gradually faded.
The soldiers chose to wait silently like Tang Dao, even though the commander's awakening made them impatient.
In the past two days, the two factions of the main march and the main retreat have been fighting fiercely. The entire independent battalion has stayed in this Laoshan mountain range for 36 hours.
Only Tang Dao can change this situation.
But the girl in front of me has done so much for this nation and him, and has experienced so many cruel sacrifices. She can only hold back her tears and record them in words. Now let her cry happily in a strong enough embrace.
