Next, the Japanese soldiers who made Hu Biao and others feel terrified did not appear again.
Perhaps, they were still watching them in secret, but they could no longer tell that they were coming, simply because they had already joined the main force.
Their remaining company of about thirty people joined up with the two companies of their own battalion, and their battalion joined up with other troops.
The Northeast Army wanted to kill Zhang Xuecheng, the biggest traitor at the moment, so of course they couldn't just rely on Zhang Lianjie's battalion.
According to intelligence, Zhang Xuecheng had nearly 5,000 men under his command. Although they suffered heavy casualties during the attack on Jinzhou City, it was not something that Zhang Lianjie and his battalion could capture.
Now the two regiments of the Northeast Army plus Zhang Lianjie's battalion are facing off against the puppet army of Zhang Xuecheng. Although there have been some small battles between the enemy and us in the past few days, no major battles have broken out.
The Northeast Army, which wants to defeat Zhang Xuecheng's troops, is still waiting for reinforcements. It is said that there will be armored vehicles to help this time.
Since Zhang Xuecheng's troops hadn't made any major moves, everyone speculated that the puppet army was also waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese, such as planes, artillery, and armored vehicles.
Zhang Lianjie's battalion was not the main force in this anti-espionage operation. They were only responsible for operations such as peripheral surveillance.
Battalion Commander Zhang Lianjie definitely didn't want to wipe out his Second Company, also known as the Hu Biao Company, so he would not assign the task to them.
As a result, the Hu Biao Company, which now has only about thirty people left, looks even more like a bystander!
In the afternoon, the warm autumn sun shone, and the leaves of many trees had begun to turn yellow. Veterans like Hou Kanshan would lie or sit in the woods, looking at the leaves and the blue sky.
"The country is ruined, but the mountains and rivers remain; the city is overgrown with weeds in autumn.
"The flowers shed tears when they feel the time, and the birds frighten their hearts when they are separated." Chen Hanwen, a half-baked scholar, fell ill and began to recite ancient poems again.
"Scholar, what the hell are you carrying on your back?" Hou Kanshan asked lazily while leaning against a tree.
"Spring, no, "Autumn View"! It is the masterpiece of Mr. Du Zimei!" Chen Hanwen replied.
Compared with other people in the company, Chen Hanwen is a scholar, but what he knows is limited.
Bearing the brunt of the national hatred, he thought for a long time and first remembered a line from Lu Shaoyou: "Iron horses and soldiers on the river came into my dreams."
But he only came up with this one sentence, and he had already returned the rest to the private school teacher who taught him.
In desperation, he changed Mr. Du Zimei's "Spring Thoughts" into "Autumn Thoughts", and he thought that no one in their company would know what was going on.
"Oh?" Hou Kanshan, who was almost bored, became interested when he heard Chen Hanwen answer him.
Just when Chen Hanwen wanted to recite the next line of poetry, Hou Kanshan pondered in a serious tone: "Du Zimei——
Oh, who is Du Zimei?"
Just as Chen Hanwen was about to answer, Hou Kanshan said, "I really don't know Du Zimei. Which company is he from? I've definitely never played Pai Gow with him!"
Chen Hanwen was really irritated by him, and could only say something like what people in Northeast China often say: "Get lost!"
Hou Kanshan burst into laughter.
As the saying goes, those who watch the fun are not afraid of trouble. The old soldiers next to them also laughed, including Platoon Leader Wang Laomao and another Platoon Leader Li Fushun.
Chen Hanwen is a little pedantic, but he is a veteran and not that pedantic.
Chen Hanwen had no way to deal with these "**" but he also knew to ignore them. Playing by himself was the best counterattack against them.
So he looked up at the distant sky and sighed, "I hate the sight of birds flying away, it's early autumn, and there's not even a single wild goose in the sky?"
However, just as he finished his exclamation, Hou Kanshan interrupted and asked, "What is Guihong? A turtle and falling red?"
Hou Kanshan's words were indeed nonsensical, but this time they really pissed off Chen Hanwen.
But it was another veteran who spoke first. He knew what the plaything belonged to, so the other person replied, "Don't talk nonsense, you stupid monkey! Guihong is a wild goose!"
"Oh—" Hou Kanshan said solemnly after a long tone, "What the hell, there are no wild geese in the sky. They have been scared away by the constant bombardment!
If we can catch a few and eat them, it will also help strengthen our kidneys!"
With a roar of laughter, the soldiers all burst into laughter, while other veterans were still praising Hou Kanshan's invention, muttering, "Guihong strengthens the kidneys, Guihong strengthens the kidneys, it really needs to strengthen the kidneys!"
"Cooking the piano and cooking the crane, what a ruin!" Chen Hanwen, whose face was already red with anger at Hou Kanshan, thought that he should not be angry, because if he got angry he would be fooled by Hou Kanshan again.
So, he said something coldly and contemptuously and ignored everyone and started to show off his writing again.
"Oh, he's crazy." A soldier sighed.
The so-called demonic disorder superficially means that a person is possessed by a demon, but in fact it has almost the same meaning as being a fool.
The soldiers laughed again at Chen Hanwen's expression, but Hou Kanshan glanced at the other side of the woods and said, "There's another one with a demonic disorder over there! Alas, poor kid!"
At the other end of the woods, there was a man holding a rifle, constantly lying down, raising the gun, aiming, then getting up, lying down again, raising the gun again, and aiming again. It was Shang Zhen.
But after Hou Kanshan said this, no one responded and no one laughed.
Hou Kanshan was surprised when he felt a hit on the back of his head. When he turned around angrily, he saw Li Fushun's elongated face.
There are only so many of them left.
The foundation of the Northeast Army is actually the Huzi, not to mention that there is only one platoon left in their company. When there is no fighting, the company commander Hu Biao does not put on airs, so in the past few days, the officers in their company have no appearance of officers and the soldiers have no appearance of soldiers.
What's more, the new platoon leader Li Fushun was in the same platoon with Hou Kanshan before he became the platoon leader.
Hou Kanshan then boldly said, "Don't think you're awesome just because you have six men under you calling you platoon leader. I'm not from your platoon!"
"Oh, it seems to be true!" Li Fushun laughed when he heard Hou Kanshan say that.
Just when Li Fushun smiled, Hou Kanshan felt a little uneasy.
However, who is the one who is talking about the cooked duck but still trying to be stubborn?
"That's right!" Hou Kanshan said with his neck stiffened.
"Yesterday," Li Fushun said to himself, "The company commander gave me three more people, but I refused them.
I said I just wanted one person, and the company commander said you can pick any one you want.
"So, who should I choose? I think I know who I'm going to choose!" Li Fushun smiled sinisterly.
"Ah?" Hou Kanshan, who had been stubborn, was immediately dumbfounded.
He glanced at Hu Biao, who was lying in the woods with two leaves covering his eyes.
Hu Biao didn't move, and seemed to be asleep.
But the problem is that no one objects!
If you don’t object, that means you agree!
Hou Kanshan was scared. He immediately put on a cheeky smile and said, "Platoon Leader Li, you are a big man and don't bear grudges. I was wrong, hehe."
"Don't call me platoon leader, follow the rules of the road." Li Fushun said with a smile.
"Master, I was wrong!" Hou Kanshan became completely obedient.
"That's more like it. If you dare to say anything bad about my brother again, I will beat the shit out of you! Humph!" Li Fushun reached out and gently patted Hou Kanshan's face.
"Okay, sir!" Hou Kanshan immediately became servile. His character made people suspicious. If he left the team and was caught by the Japanese, he would definitely become a traitor!
"Why am I so disgusted with you now?" Seeing Hou Kanshan's expression, Wang Laomao also became angry.
"I don't want this little monkey Li Fushun anymore. I'll put him in the queue for you!" said Wang Laomao.
"Really?" Li Fushun smiled, but Hou Kanshan was about to cry.
Meanwhile, Shang Zhen, who was completely oblivious to all this, continued to lie down at the other end of the woods, set up his gun, aim, and get up. He then lay down again, set up his gun again, aim again, and get up again...
