Sitting like a Dragon Boat Festival boss, being served by a group of officers.
Some of them are battalion commanders, some are regiment commanders, and some are even brigade commanders.
However, what makes these officers have to lower their noble heads? Is it their identity as Dragon Boat Festival commissioners?
No, because it has nothing to do with them?
What they want are soldiers. At this time, all the soldiers in the shelter are from the Dragon Boat Festival. If they want to get people out of the shelter, they can only rely on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Otherwise, they would have been waiting here for hours. What on earth were they waiting for?
Brigadier Zhang of the 162nd Brigade bowed and said humbly: "Special Commissioner? You see, our brigade has indeed suffered a lot of casualties. I don't want too many, just give me a hundred people."
The commander of the 31st Brigade also said like a shrimp: "Commissioner, our brigade has also suffered a lot of casualties. The three regiments are now less than half. You are so noble. Can you give us some more soldiers?"
"Special correspondent!"
"Special Commissioner,..."
When the other officers saw that the two brigade commanders were beginning to ask for people, they also nodded and bowed with smiles on their faces, just like a bunch of big peonies blooming in spring.
But Dragon Boat Festival does not accept this trick. Everyone is being taken away by others, so how can he fight this battle?
When the Dragon Boat Festival stood up, all the officers in the circle retreated to both sides.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Everyone, I can understand your mood. But I will take away all the people in the shelter."
"Hello? Commissioner? You are wrong. You actually represent the chairman of the committee. You should think about the brothers present. If there is some way, can we wait for you here and say such soft words?"
The bearded regiment commander became angry at that time. Although he did not have the highest military rank among all the people present, he was the most angry. Hearing that the Dragon Boat Festival was not going to give people to anyone, I had been holding back my anger, and suddenly burst out.
.
At the same time, Brigadier Zhang from the 162nd Brigade and Brigadier Sun from the 31st Brigade also looked at the Dragon Boat Festival with dissatisfaction, looking like they wanted to eat people.
But at this time, Duanwu didn't take it seriously, but raised his tone and said: "I said, I can understand the mood of the brothers. But I need people. And there are many people.
What we are doing is a military secret. I cannot tell everyone here. But I can only say that I am not taking these people to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to fight for the Japanese.
Maybe tomorrow, all of them will be gone, and neither will I. So I hope brothers don’t blame me.”
Having said this, Duanwu motioned to Captain Wang to lead the way.
But at this moment, Brigadier Zhang of the 162nd Brigade asked: "Commissioner, your words are very touching, but I have some doubts. As far as I know, the 88th Division has already gone to the Xicheng line. And I didn't listen.
Did you say that the 88th Division has an independent regiment?"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of it either."
Brigadier Sun from the 31st Brigade also echoed.
Duan Wu turned around and smiled slightly: "If you know who fought in the battle at Sihang Warehouse, you will know who I am."
After that, Duanwu and Captain Zhang left without looking back. Only a group of officers were left, shocked in the living room.
It has been a long time since the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. Both the Central Army and the local army have heard about it.
Because of the battle at Sihang Warehouse, the momentum of the Chinese soldiers was demonstrated and the integrity of the Chinese people was demonstrated. It is said that nearly 5,000 Japanese soldiers died under the Sihang Warehouse, and the corpses of the Japanese were piled up into a hill.
Although they have been unable to confirm this, they say it is being spread among the military. And the announcement from the summit also said so.
Of course, if it were ordinary people, they might not be able to believe it. But Dragon Boat Festival was sitting among them just now.
This person is calm, calm, wise and decisive.
And especially the strong smell of blood on his body, even the smell of cigarette smoke in the room couldn't cover it up.
This is an iron-blooded soldier who has actually been on the battlefield. Although he is still young, some people were even dissatisfied just now. But at this time, they were all speechless and full of admiration in their hearts.
And this is the effect that Dragon Boat Festival wants. It neither gives people nor creates any problems with these people.
Because they are all local armies, they have always been at odds with the direct lineage of the 88th Division.
The reason is very simple. Because good things must naturally be reserved for direct descendants. So once the military headquarters issues an order to defend, the most important thing the local army thinks about is the chairman who wants to kill someone again.
Therefore, the establishment of numerous factions was the fundamental reason why the war against Japan was unfavorable.
But both Duanwu's words and his actions left these local troops speechless.
"Come on, let's follow and take a look. In case this special commissioner can't suppress those **, we can also help."
At this moment, Brigadier Zhang suddenly said.
Everyone thought it was reasonable. Although they didn't know why Duanwu came, but from Duanwu's words, it should be a very important matter. Otherwise, even if he was a special commissioner, he would sell some face to the local army. But Duanwu is a soldier.
Even if you don't give in, this goes against common sense.
They are all officers, not all fools. If they don't have this kind of judgment, they are not worthy of being officers.
What's more, the mention of Sihang Warehouse during the Dragon Boat Festival made everyone present admire him.
Sihang Warehouse, at least among them, no one can do it after being put to death.
Because everyone knows that Sihang Warehouse is a place of death, the Palace of Hell, and the eighteenth level of hell. No one can survive the siege of the Japanese army.
But Duanwu did it, he created a miracle and a myth for them.
They admire such a soldier, even if he is still young.
So at this most critical moment, they wanted to do their best and then quietly watch what miracles that young man would create.
So, the group of people followed Duanwu and Captain Wang to the shelter.
The shelter was very lively at this time. It was already ten o'clock at night, and no one was sleeping yet. Some of them were gambling dice, some were chatting, and some were still drinking.
Perhaps this is why the shop owners near the shelter are reluctant to leave!
These big soldiers, when they have money in their hands, they either gamble or drink. I'm afraid all the money is sent to them.
At this time, Captain Zhang shouted loudly: "Get up, everyone, the special commissioner is here."
Several Sichuan soldiers looked back and continued to push their Pai Gow. Others did not even look at the Dragon Boat Festival.
Perhaps, they have seen too much of this kind of drama where superior officers come to select people. And Dragon Boat Festival is just a little higher than their military rank.
"Four four, leopard, hahaha, I win, I win."
A Sichuan soldier was gambling on dice, and when he rolled four, he cheered loudly.
But what he won was not money, just a handful of peanuts for drinking.
Bang!
At this moment, a foot suddenly knocked the table over. The table flipped three times in mid-air, fell to the ground and fell apart.
The huge crashing sound of wood and the crunching sound of the dice falling to the ground made every broken soldier present look towards the place where the sound came from.
Some of them were drunk, some were stunned, some were indifferent, and some showed disdain. Then they laughed together.
Perhaps they have seen too much of this scene. Many of the officers who came here have bad tempers. What does it mean to kick over a table? There are many who will kick them.
And unlike those ordinary soldiers, the people here will fight back.
The Sichuan soldier who threw the leopard stepped forward with his face raised, looked at Duanwu and said, "Sir, you knocked over my table, should you compensate me?"
Brigadier Zhang, who was not far away, saw this and was about to step forward. He was afraid that Dragon Boat Festival was too young and would not be able to control the scene.
But at this moment, Brigadier Sun on the side stopped him and said: "Brigadier Zhang, don't you want to see what this special commissioner is capable of?"
"What do you mean? Oh!..."
Brigadier Zhang smiled because he understood. Brigadier Sun meant to see what the special commissioner would do when encountering such a thing.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, without saying anything, Duanwu suddenly kicked out and hit the opponent's stomach.
Bang!
This kick directly kicked the Sichuan Army, who was about 1.7 meters tall, more than three meters away. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up while holding his stomach.
A Sichuan soldier next to Duanwu raised a long chair and wanted to take action, but Duanwu just glanced sideways and killed him instantly. The Sichuan soldier thought for a while and put down the bench again.
People who are ruthless and don't talk much are the most terrifying people.
Perhaps the Sichuan troops here are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of how they will die.
What's more, Dragon Boat Festival's body and eyes exuded such an awe-inspiring and upright spirit.
However, just when everyone was shocked, the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival rang out again.
"I've seen a lot of Sichuan troops, but I've never seen such a bad Sichuan army. In my regiment, there was a Sichuan Army brother. He was captured by the Japanese. The Japanese wanted to kill him and the people.
My brother from the Sichuan Army shouted to the Japanese without fear: If you want to kill me, kill me. Little Japanese, what kind of hero do you think you are when you attack defenseless people?
I think this is the Sichuan Army. Such talents deserve to be called the Sichuan Army.
Along the way, I fought my way out of the enemy's heartland, and all I heard was the Sichuan army's bravery in battle. They were not afraid of death, and they fought one after another.
But what are you doing? Are you hiding in this comfort zone, living in a dream? Do you still have the nerve to say that you are the Sichuan Army?
Are you worthy of those brothers who died on the battlefield for the honor of the Sichuan Army?"
The roar of the Dragon Boat Festival made most of the Sichuan troops in the camp lower their heads in shame. Some even let out sobs.
They felt wronged. They thought of the brothers who froze to death because they had no cotton-padded clothes. They thought of the brothers who had no choice but to use their chests to block enemy bullets because they had no ammunition.
They thought about every little thing and everything.
Finally, a Sichuan Army officer with the rank of major battalion commander broke out. He shouted at Duanwu: "We are not afraid of death, but we don't want to die so worthless. We have no weapons. We have no winter clothes. We are cannon fodder on the battlefield.
,do you understand?"
At this moment, all the Sichuan soldiers raised their heads, and their clear tears were extremely eye-catching at this moment, reflected in the dim light.
Duanwu looked at the group of Sichuan Army brothers with tears streaming down their faces and nodded.
Then he jumped up to a table and shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers of the Sichuan Army, I have made you suffer. But today, I want to tell you that you will not be cannon fodder. You will be my eighty-eight
The elite of the division's independent regiment.
The weapons are the best for you, and the military uniforms are the warmest for you. There are cotton shoes, canned food, and compressed biscuits from the regular army.
I can give you anything, but you only need to agree to one request of mine, which is to kill the Japanese and avenge those Sichuan Army brothers who sacrificed their lives!"
"Are you telling the truth?"
The Sichuan Army battalion commander tried to ask with trembling lips.
"Really, the weapons and equipment will be delivered soon. If you see the things, it will be the same if you follow me..."
"well!"
"Revenge, revenge!..."
Before the Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, all the Sichuan troops present cheered.
Brigadier Zhang, who was standing in the distance, said speechlessly: "Grandma, the direct line is the direct line, right? We are rich and powerful. If I had so many weapons and equipment, I would have taken people away long ago."
Brigadier Sun also said: "Yes, the last time I came here, I said that each of them would be given a Hanyang-made weapon with ten rounds of ammunition. These Sichuan troops were too few. What the hell, I said more at that time. Nowadays, weapons
Ammunition was so scarce that he actually had a gun for everyone and delivered it in no time.”
"It's true that comparing people to each other is more difficult than comparing goods to goods!"
"That's right, that's right!"
···············
A dozen officers coughed and sighed at the side. But at this moment, Brigadier Sun suddenly laughed and said: "These Sichuan troops took advantage of petty gains and left with the special commissioner. But where are some old **? These people,
But I won’t eat soft or hard food.”
"Yes, yes, yes, we still have a chance."
Brigadier Zhang echoed from the side, and everyone else seemed to see hope. Although they really didn't want these old soldiers and veterans, they had no choice but to lack soldiers. Now as long as they are individuals, they
If you can carry a gun and fight, you are a good person and a useful person.
Of course, Duanwu also knew that the defeated troops of the Sichuan army only amounted to more than 700 people, and there were still nearly 200 dead.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were deserters, but these old bastards insisted that they retreated because the troops were scattered.
The shelter said they would be sent back to their original troops, but they were either sick or sick. Anyway, everyone was sick. Some were even so sick that they couldn't walk.
We can't let two people carry them back to the battlefield, right?
Therefore, what Dragon Boat Festival said to the Sichuan Army was of no use to them. These old bastards, in the roar of the Sichuan Army, were still making sarcastic remarks. They said that these Sichuan Army were just scared of poverty and deceived them into working for their lives for a small profit.
When the time comes, they will be the ones who die, but the credit goes to those officers.
Of course, little did they know that the Sichuan army was not that stupid. There were two reasons why they decided to go with the Dragon Boat Festival uncharacteristically.
The first reason is that the Dragon Boat Festival has met all their conditions. These Sichuan Army brothers just don’t want to go to war like beggars. They need good weapons, they need winter cotton clothes, and a pair of warm waterproof shoes
shoe.
But the most important thing is that they need to eat, they are very hungry. Otherwise, the Sichuan soldier who won the dice would not have fallen out with the Dragon Boat Festival commissioner just because of a handful of peanuts.
The second is the bloody smell on the Dragon Boat Festival. Most people will feel sick when they smell this smell. But for these Sichuan Army brothers, it is a living sign that they have been bloody on the battlefield.
They don't want to follow those officers who are well-dressed or even spotless. Because such officers don't go to the battlefield at all. And recruiting them is just treating them as cannon fodder and throwing them on the battlefield to add a star to their shoulders.
That’s all.
They didn't want to die meaninglessly, so when the officers chose them, they also chose their commanders.
Their brothers all died under the gunfire and tanks of the Japs. When they came, there might have been thousands or tens of thousands of them.
But now, they may be the only ones alive.
When they go back, how do they explain it to their fellow villagers in their hometown?
When they left Sichuan, they said: They would fight the Japanese invaders to the bitter end and vowed not to return home until the Japanese invaders were defeated.
So how can they return home in this situation?
They don't want to become meaningless cannon fodder without being able to return home.
They are extremely entangled in their hearts and don't know where they should go.
But at this moment, the Dragon Boat Festival came. With the roar of his soldiers, he once again called their souls back! . . .
