"You stupid monkey, whether we can get reinforcements depends entirely on you. Everyone else is fighting to the death in the front, but I'm going to get you a good job. If you mess up this time, just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" Wang Laomao was scolding Hou Kanshan again.
"Platoon leader, I promise to complete the mission. If I fail to complete the mission, I will come to see you with my head!" Hou Kanshan showed unprecedented gratitude to Wang Laomao. He also straightened his chest and saluted Wang Laomao in a proper manner.
"Get the hell out of here. What use do I have for your brain? Do you think I can use it as a chamber pot?" Wang Laomao said angrily.
Hou Kanshan had long understood Wang Laomao's character.
Wang Laomao's personality is such that the closer he is to someone, the more rude he becomes when he speaks to them. This is just like a certain legendary warlord. Whoever he takes a fancy to will be scolded and sometimes even beaten, but he will give you a promotion the next day!
But then again, it's impossible for Hou Kanshan not to be grateful to Wang Laomao.
After Shang Zhen, Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou discussed it, they decided to stay and continue fighting the Japanese army, and gave the good job of going to Suizhou to seek reinforcements to Hou Kanshan!
In the current situation, we have to go find reinforcements and tell them that Captain Liu's regiment has been surrounded by the Japanese army in Ningyuan. Although running errands will be tiring, it is definitely a good job. After all, others are facing life and death!
"Platoon leader, why do you all want to stay here? There are only fourteen of us in total, so why don't we all go back to report the news? Or why don't you take Xiucai and I back to deliver the letter? If they want to die, let them go, why are they dragging you along?" In the morning light, Hou Kanshan secretly glanced at Shang Zhen and the others not far away and whispered.
"Get the hell out of here, you bastard! You may be shameless, but I still have some!" Wang Laomao cursed, then said, "Go quickly and come back soon!" and turned around.
"Platoon leader, wait a minute." Hou Kanshan shouted. When Wang Laomao turned around, Hou Kanshan stuffed half a box of cigarettes into Wang Laomao's hand again.
Wang Laomao snorted, but didn't say anything this time after taking half a pack of cigarettes. Hou Kanshan also turned around and ran away with a rifle in his hand and a sheathed Japanese command knife hanging on his waist.
Everyone looks down on Hou Kanshan, but Wang Laomao looks up to Hou Kanshan. How can we tell whether there is a bond between these two people?
When others cleaned up the battlefield, they were looking for weapons and ammunition, but Hou Kanshan was looking for cigarettes, candies and other things that the Japanese soldiers carried with them, and the Japanese army's command knife was also one of his trophies.
Perhaps in the subconscious of Wang Laomao, the grassroots commander, he is not short of people to fight, but what he lacks is someone like Hou Kanshan who can serve him well.
But precisely because of this, no soldier who can fight can compare with Hou Kanshan.
Yesterday, when they were discussing who would finally decide to stay, Shang Zhen told Hou Kanshan to go back and report the news!
Shang Zhen didn't say it clearly, but anyone who was good at fighting and not afraid of death would be angry when seeing Hou Kanshan.
When Wang Laomao ran back to the crowd, Shang Zhen took the lead and walked east without saying a word, and the others followed him. As they walked east, the others followed him.
To the east is Ningyuan City. From yesterday afternoon when Shang Zhen and his men completely got rid of the Japanese army to this morning, no one from that regiment showed up. There is no doubt that that regiment must have been surrounded by the Japanese army.
Because of this, Shang Zhen, Wang Laomao, Lao Huotou and the other three really discussed for a long time about the future of the fourteen cannon fodder who escaped from Ningyuan City.
This time, Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou had the same opinion. They didn't say it explicitly but they reached a tacit understanding.
If you, Zhang Xiancai, are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Who would have thought that we, the cannon fodder, would escape? Your group was surrounded by the Japanese army!
It's good enough that we run back to tell you the news. Why should we go to save you?
Besides, it's impossible for the ten of us to rescue you!
Shang Zhen said that he had no intention of rescuing the regiment, and he knew that his men did not have the ability to do so, but they could harass the Japanese army on the periphery.
The reason Shang Zhen did this was that he wanted to avenge his third brother Li Fushun. After all, killing as many Japanese soldiers as possible is a good thing!
When Shang Zhen said he wanted to avenge Li Fushun, neither Old Huo nor Laomao Wang could say anything.
What's more, Shang Zhen also said that I was just playing a supporting role, one to avenge my third brother and the other to practice my own skills.
No matter how Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou tried to persuade him, it was useless. Shang Zhen didn't say much and his voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm. In the end, Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou, the two old thieves, had no other choice but to say, "If you want to stay, then stay!"
But when Shang Zhen and the others said that they wanted to stay and kill a few more Japanese soldiers, the rest of the people looked at each other for a while, and then Hu Zhuzi expressed his intention to follow, simply because those who were surrounded were from their regiment, and he had no reason not to follow.
Then Qian Chuan'er and Erhanzi also expressed their desire to follow.
These are the three of them. After these three people, Qiu Bo also expressed his intention to follow. Once Qiu Bo followed, the other people in their group also expressed their intention to follow.
Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou ultimately ignored the passion in the hearts of the young people. In the end, except for the two of them and Hou Kanshan who did not express their opinions, the rest of the people were about to follow Shang Zhen!
At this point, Wang Laomao and Lao Huotou were at their wit's end. Well, let's all attack together!
Shang Zhen did not expect such a situation to occur, but he understood that it was he who suggested staying to fight the Japanese soldiers. At this time, he could not say that you don’t have to go and I will save him.
In fact, besides the two reasons he cited, Shang Zhen wanted to stay and kill a few more Japanese soldiers for an even more important reason.
But he really didn't want to see those innocent civilians being killed by the Japanese army again!
I don’t know why, but Shang Zhen always thinks of gazes these days. Yes, gazes, those gazes are both in reality and in dreams.
One was the contemptuous look in the old man's eyes as he scanned the hillside while protecting his wife.
If the old man had really cursed out loud at that time, saying something like "You cowards, you watched ordinary people die at the hands of Japanese soldiers", he might have felt better.
But the old man didn't curse, and then he turned around to protect his wife. In the end, the old couple both died under the guns of the Japanese army!
The other look he remembered was the look of the young woman in the dream, who was begging him to save her child, and the "whoosh, whoosh" sound of the child's breath as the flame of life was about to die.
Logically speaking, the old couple were dead, and the death of the woman and the child was just a dream. The former had nothing to do with him, and the latter was just a dream. In terms of closeness, how could the two be compared with his third brother Li Fushun who died in front of him?
But, for some reason, Shang Zhen just couldn't forget that look, despair, contempt, resentment, begging, helplessness, sorrow, and blame. Shang Zhen couldn't explain it, but that look always made him feel like he was being pricked up by a thorn in his back!
Shang Zhen thought, perhaps, his third brother Li Fushun was a soldier, and as a soldier, dying fighting the Japanese was his duty, so he was not very sad.
Sometimes, for a soldier, death may not be the most important thing. Peace of mind is the most important thing!
Therefore, Shang Zhen felt that the old man could die to protect his sweetheart, and the young mother was still thinking about her child after her death.
If you have a gun in your hand but do nothing, you are not a soldier! You must do something for the people, otherwise, you are a coward!
