"The pillar of the country! You are truly heroic!"
"Sir, you and the other officers and men should be careful. We are waiting for your triumphant return on the east bank!"
"Take care, heroes of the Sichuan Army!"
…
Liao Mingyu, who was halfway up the mountain, heard the shouts from the crowd behind him and couldn't help but look back.
I saw a few people in the crowd who valued love and justice, with tears streaming down their faces, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Liao Mingyu and the others.
When the legionnaires heard the heroic words from the common people, they couldn't help but be filled with emotion. They all smiled and felt proud. Their efforts have not been disappointed!
There was a time when I was just one of the deserters. No one loved them, no one thought about them, and no one even knew of their existence.
Now, they have finally received the recognition and respect they deserve. The soldiers were excited to hear the blessings and encouragement from the people. Only now did they realize how proud they were to defend their home and country. It was a warm feeling from the bottom of their hearts, and they would not hesitate to die in battle!
Especially the group of soldiers who had just grabbed the rafts from the people on the shore lowered their heads in shame.
Liao Mingyu said nothing. He stood in a military posture and gave a standard military salute to the people on the shore.
All Sichuan Army soldiers immediately raised their hands and saluted the people!
Soldiers, you should always be ready to protect your home and country!
At this time, Major Ayi, who was in charge of the atmosphere team, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, let's sing a military song to thank the people for their wishes for us!"
"The flag is fluttering, the horse is dancing, get ready!"
"The flag is fluttering, the horse is fluttering, good man, good man, good man serves the country today. Get up quickly and don't be an old and sick man, unite quickly and don't be dissatisfied."
Stand up quickly and don’t act like an old and sick man; unite quickly and don’t be dissatisfied..."
The soldiers of the Sichuan Legion couldn't help but sing along with Ayi's tone-deaf voice. Everyone raised their voices, and the rich and passionate song "The Flag is Flying" echoed across the land.
Among the crowd, Long Wenwen looked gloomy. He looked at the soldiers singing loudly, and his eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc.
White towel? Long Wenwen felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and a chill filled every pore on his body.
He looked at the crowd again, without disturbing anyone, turned around and ducked into the woods...
After a while, Liao Mingyu also noticed something strange. He was not sure for a moment. Just when he was about to call Long Wenwen, he looked around and found that he was missing. Wasn't this guy still in the team just now?
"Commander! Have you seen the Dragon Vice Regiment?"
"Huh? No, he was just behind you."
Meng Fan looked around in confusion, but did not find Long Wenwen.
What is this guy doing?
Liao Mingyu frowned. He looked at the team of more than a thousand soldiers. The soldiers were carrying guns and singing military songs. It seemed that everyone was no different. But there was an uneasy feeling in his heart.
"Tuanzu, look, there is death!"
Meng Fanglia pointed to the jungle not far behind the team. At this time, Long Wenwen was leaning against the big tree and raised his head in their direction.
"Let's go! Go and have a look."
Liao Mingyu quickly walked over there with Meng Fanglia.
"My deputy dragon, what are you doing? Why are you running into the woods for nothing? We are all a group of gentlemen. We don't have to run so far if it's convenient."
Meng Fanlai started "spraying pesticides" before he even got close. However, Long Wenwen changed his usual style of bickering with him and said with a gloomy face:
"Keep your voice down and follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the woods. Liao Mingyu and the other two also realized that something was wrong. She followed him forward in silence.
They walked thirty or forty meters in the woods and saw a Sichuan Army soldier lying on the ground with a bayonet stuck in his chest. He was obviously dead.
"What's going on?" Liao Mingyu frowned and asked Long Wenwen.
"This bayonet belongs to him. When we were singing the military song just now, I noticed that this guy opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. I squinted my eyes and observed him for a long time, and he also noticed me. The look he looked at me was definitely not... What a Chinese soldier should look like."
"So I ran into the woods alone, and sure enough this guy followed me. He wanted to kill me and silence me!"
After saying that, Long Wenwen took off the soldier's pants, revealing the white flowers inside, like a diaper crotch cloth.
Japanese!
Liao Mingyu was slightly shocked. Sure enough, there was a little Japanese spy in his team!
This Japanese man was wearing the military uniform and helmet of the expeditionary force, and he looked similar to Asians. At first glance, he looked basically the same as a soldier of the Sichuan Legion. The only difference was the white towel around his neck.
"I just noticed that there are several soldiers wearing white towels around their necks in the team. Although they all sing along with everyone, their expressions are wary and there is no excitement like others." Liao Mingyu said to Long Wenwen.
"Here, there are actually so many little Japs and spies in the team!?"
Meng Fan was shocked.
The Sichuan Legion came all the way and absorbed so many defeated troops on the way. At this time, it was impossible to verify their identities one by one. It was really easy to hide a few scouts and spies among more than a thousand people. things.
"Hmph, I'm annoyed. Go and find all our brothers who went on the expedition first, and be quiet and don't make any noise."
"Remember, it must be someone you know and trust!" Liao Mingyu told Meng Fanglia.
Nowadays, the only ones who can prove their identity are a group of people who set off from Zenda and fought together at the airport. The others may have infiltrated into the Japs' scouts.
If these spies are not dealt with cleanly, when they get to Nantianmen, it will be the most fatal loophole!
…
After a while, Meng Fanxiao came over with a group of people, mostly veterans from the assault platoon. They were confused and didn't know what the leader was calling them to do.
"Captain, why are you doing this?"
"Why is one of our people dead here?"
"Our man, look at what he is wearing. Isn't that a little devil's crotch cloth?"
Everyone was talking to each other, and it was noisy.
"Everyone be quiet. This man on the ground is a Japs spy. He was discovered and killed by the Dragon Vice Regiment. There are many little Japs sneaking into our team. You are all brothers who followed me, Liao Mingyu, to fight all the way here. I can only trust you now. "
"Go back later and take aim at the soldiers wearing white towels around their necks. Find those who can't even open their mouths and make no sound. Everyone, stop shooting and use knives. Let me pull the bolt as a sign. Let's do it together!"
Liao Mingyu stood up, pulled the gun bolt with a snap, and looked at everyone seriously.
"Remember, each person has a white towel, keep an eye on me!"
