Liu Ruolan somewhat understood some of the problems that she couldn't figure out before.
Think about it, when Zhou Wen was in his last days, when his friend's life was in danger, he would resolutely turn around and fight the bandits with his bare hands, regardless of his own safety, to win a glimmer of hope for his friend.
At that time, Zhou Wen had no soldiers, no power, and no money. To put it bluntly, he was still an inexperienced young student, but he had already shown his loyalty, courage, and self-sacrifice.
When saving himself, he also faced a hail of bullets, as well as the deadly iron sheet falling from the sky, but this man still resolutely used his body to support himself with a sky of survival.
And if you think about it carefully, this person is also quite magnanimous in his dealings with others. The last time we had dinner, it was clear that Ruoxi was rude, deceiving others because they didn't understand, and spoke ill of people to their faces in English. However, this person didn't mind at all. Later, she was even more afraid of embarrassing herself and never mentioned it again.
Would such a person even hesitate to say a polite invitation when parting?
After she thought about her worries, she began to ask herself, if she were replaced by Zhou Wen, would she be willing to let her lover worry about her? Are you willing to let your lover be on tenterhooks every day and every night, fearing that he will receive bad news from the front line at some point?
She suddenly remembered a book she had read abroad, which explained the true love between men and women in this way: love is giving rather than taking, love is tolerance rather than jealousy, love is not possession but hope for the other person's happiness...
When Liu Ruolan thought of this, her bright eyes were instantly covered with mist. It turned out that he wanted the other person to be happy instead of worried and afraid!
This is what Zhou Wen thinks, she is sure.
This is love, true love, tolerant love, and love that makes you feel happy when you watch your lover live a carefree life.
It is also the love of a love idealist, and it is also the hazy love of a man's first love.
Liu Ruolan is now sure that this little man has never been in love.
He knew that he was going to the battlefield. He knew that he would not look back when facing the Japanese invasion. He knew that he might sacrifice himself. He knew that he could not let his lover be frightened, so...
In this way, all the previous things were figured out. He liked or loved me. At that time, he was like a peacock. Just when he was about to show bright and dazzling colors to himself, he knew it from somewhere. There will be news that war is coming soon. As a soldier, he knows that his responsibilities and ambitions cannot be retreated to the rear. He also knows the cruelty and tragedy of war.
He took advantage of the fact that before both parties had time, or were not ready to express their feelings to the other party, he resolutely left to face his own battle and fulfill his obligations as a soldier and a man.
After Liu Ruolan figured it out, she felt inexplicably relaxed and even more beautiful.
Sitting in the car, she slightly raised her fair and smooth chin, as if that hateful little man was right in front of her, and raised the corners of her beautiful mouth in an arc, like a proud peacock, whispering to herself: "I want to It’s not that easy to avoid this young lady.”
…
Zhou Wen, who was far away in Shanxi, sneezed a few times and wondered how a master of his level could develop symptoms after just a little bit of mountain wind.
Zhou Wen has no intention of thinking about his relationship with Liu Ruolan now. It's not that he has forgotten her, but that he has buried his longing for her and his love deeply in his heart.
The upcoming battle not only made his blood boil, but also made him feel a heavy responsibility.
For him, he is no longer the young scholar who vowed to lead dozens of brothers to find a way out when he left Wang Huzi. At that time, he only considered the safety of dozens of lives, but it also made him feel It’s stressful.
Now, there are tens of thousands of lives that depend on his thoughts.
It was he who carefully planned and planned, and led Zhao Changshu's model brigade to the front line. The purpose was simply to be able to kill the Japanese with complete freedom with the support of the mercenary group's strong backing that was trustworthy and powerful.
However, the problems of command, coordination, logistics, etc. for a force of tens of thousands of people are not comparable to those of the previous mercenary group of thousands of people.
What's more, although the senior Zhao Changshu trusts him unreservedly, can his more than 9,000 subordinates work together with the mercenary group? What if we are delayed on the battlefield? Whether General Shang Zheng of the 32nd Army has other thoughts and other issues are what Zhou Wen needs to face and solve now.
With great power comes great responsibility.
It's bullshit to Zhou Wen that he can't control soldiers. He doesn't want to be a famous general. He just wants to use all means and methods to kill as many Japanese devils as possible, and at the same time, he has to take his brothers and comrades with him. Come back together.
Moreover, the cruelty of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War was actually more brutal than the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. There were no concessions or protests from Western powers along the Great Wall. The Japanese army could unscrupulously use any heavy firepower and aircraft to attack the Chinese army in all directions, and might even use poison gas bombs. .
Therefore, Zhou Wen not only persuaded the commander-in-chief to equip the combat troops of the model brigade with German-made steel helmets, but also equipped them with gas masks. Fortunately, although the commander was a scumbag, he also knew that the Model Brigade was the force that would carry the future reform direction of the Jin Army, so he gave his full support for a rare occasion.
The Model Brigade can now be said to be the best-equipped unit in the country except for the mercenary regiment. However, Zhou Wen still dared not take it lightly and asked the mercenary regiment and the Model Brigade to conduct coordinated training many times. However, until now, company-level coordination has not been possible. All are somewhat unsatisfactory.
At this time, Zhou Wen, who was standing on a mountaintop watching the drill with a telescope, sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that there was still a long way to go to build the model brigade into a strong force that could advance, attack, and retreat.
The main reason is that although the Model Brigade has selected a large number of capable officers as much as possible, the overall quality of grassroots officers is still far behind that of the mercenary regiment. This is also an aspect in which the Chinese army is far behind the Japanese army in addition to equipment and training. . This status quo is very common in the domestic military and cannot be changed in a short time.
After the Model Brigade thoroughly understood the anti-slope tactics, it made great progress in tunnel defense.
Historically, the Jin Army was known for being good at defense. In fact, it was because the Jin Army was equipped with more automatic firearms. During the Central Plains War, the elite troops of the Jin Army were equipped with two Jin-made Thompson Charges per squad - gun.
And the current model brigade not only has five Jin-made Thompson submachine guns per squad, but also a Czech-made light machine gun, and the rifles are all semi-automatic rifles. This kind of automatic firepower configuration, regardless of the quality of the soldiers, is a head-on attack. A detachment of the Japanese army was no less willing to give in.
With this kind of firepower density and good use of anti-slope fortifications for defense, Zhou Wen is still confident that he can withstand the Japanese attack. Moreover, if the Japanese army still mistakenly thinks that the model brigade is the same as other Chinese armies, I believe that they will definitely be able to give the little devil a surprise.
