"Whoever shares blood with me today is my brother. If we are destined to die on the Yushan battlefield, then! I am willing to be with my brothers during the Dragon Boat Festival!"
The hoarse roar of the Dragon Boat Festival echoed on the Yushan battlefield for a long time.
At this moment, everyone was solemn, showing immense respect and admiration for the young officer in front of them. Because what this special commissioner sent away was not his relatives, but the soldiers he deceived on the battlefield.
From the short words of the Dragon Boat Festival, it was not difficult for them to imagine how a group of 79th Brigade who were greedy for life and fearful of death and wanted to escape were deceived by the special commissioner to come to Yushan.
No, this is not deception, but fulfillment. It was the Dragon Boat Festival that enabled the 79th Brigade to return to the rear like one person with their chests held high and their heads held high.
They admire and admire this kind of Dragon Boat Festival. Worshipful even. Because the man was still there, and he was wounded, and his wound was still bleeding.
But when the Japanese soldiers pressed on the border, he did not think of escaping but wanted to join them in the bloodbath.
The blood in their bodies burned again, because they had not encountered such a warm-blooded commander for a long time. His roar, his roar is like a magical piece of music that can dig their fighting will out of their bones.
I have to say that they were convinced and willing to follow such an officer and fight the Japanese invaders to the end.
If Yushan will be their last battlefield, then this place will be the grave of the little devil!
But at this moment, Duanwu raised the muzzle of his gun, pointed it at Zhao Shitou's head, and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
Zhao Shitou wiped his eyes, puffed up his chest and said, "Special Commissioner, I was wrong. I am willing to accept any punishment."
At the same time, the soldiers of the first mixed company lined up behind Zhao Shitou and said the same: "Special Commissioner, we were wrong, and we are willing to accept any punishment."
Duanwu said indifferently: "Do you know why you must be shot on the spot if you disobey orders on the battlefield?"
Zhao Shitou replied loudly: "Because military orders are like mountains."
Duanwu said: "It's wrong, not because of the words 'military orders are like mountains', but because you junior officers can never guess what the superior officer is thinking, what his combat ideas are, and what is the purpose of asking you to perform the mission." !
When superior officers command you, most of the time they won't tell you the purpose of the mission. Because if I tell you, the information will be leaked easily and the enemy will be aware of the commander's strategic intentions.
As a superior officer, he also knows this shortcoming, so some soldiers regard obedience as their bounden duty and obey absolute orders such as disobeying orders on the battlefield and rectifying the law on the spot.
This rule cannot be broken, because it is the iron law of the military! "
Duanwu's expression was still indifferent, and the bullet was already loaded into the barrel of the gun.
Seeing this, Zhong Jiushan quickly stood in front of Duanwu's gun: "Special Commissioner, listen to me. These are good soldiers. They disobeyed your order. They were wrong.
But now, with the enemy facing us, I hope they can die on the battlefield instead of being shot on the battlefield just because they disobeyed military orders!
Commissioner, I beg you. I can no longer be a division commander, I can be a soldier, but I hope you can let these brothers go. "
"Commissioner, let us brothers die on the battlefield! To defend, we will form a mixed company at the front. To charge, we will form a mixed company to rush to the front. I don't want to die so cowardly."
Zhao Shitou burst into tears again, and the other soldiers also begged at the same time: "Special Commissioner, please allow us to have a final battle with the Japanese invaders!"
"Regiment leader, in the face of a powerful enemy, shooting so many soldiers will be detrimental to the morale of our army, right?"
Xie Jinyuan was on the side to help persuade, and Zhu Shengzhong also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The group seat,..."
Bang!
Zhu Shengzhong was kicked aside by Duanwu and gave him a fierce look.
Zhu Shengzhong did not dare to speak, because in the final analysis, this incident was caused by him.
At this time, Duanwu put away his gun and said: "Since so many people are begging for you, I will be lenient. You said that you want to fight the Japanese army for the last time, and I will grant it to you. After this battle, if you are still alive, we are brothers. You. If you die, I will take credit for you.”
Hearing this, Zhong Jiushan was overjoyed, and Zhao Shitou stood at attention and saluted: "Please give the order to the special commissioner."
Duanwu nodded and said: "These straw men, I use them to deal with the Japanese plane bombing by the Japanese. In the battle of Yushan, the little Japanese suffered a big loss, and the plane bombing will happen sooner or later."
So I made two preparations. The first step was to dig communication trenches along both sides of the position into the woods. It was convenient for large troops to enter the jungle to avoid Japanese bombing.
The second hand, straw men, these straw men have the effect of confusing Japanese bombers. The Japanese bombers would mistake these straw men for the Chinese defenders and carry out large-scale bombing of the position. "
"Ah, that's it!"
At this moment Zhong Jiu Shan suddenly realized, and so did everyone else. They had never thought before that the straw man could be used in this way.
And thinking about how stupid they were before, they never thought of using straw men to replace real people to guard the position. Instead, they stayed in the position stupidly and were bombed by the Japs' planes.
This is wonderful, simply wonderful.
But at this moment, I didn't want to say Duanwu but said: "Don't be happy too early. I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Everyone was shocked!
Duanwu continued at this time: "They are all strawmen, and the Japanese will be suspicious. In such a huge position, and no one fights back against them, the little Japanese will soon find out that these Chinese soldiers on the position are all fake.
Therefore, I need a company to stay on the position and disperse it across all positions to borrow heavy machine guns, machine guns, and rifles to attack the Japanese aircraft.
Although such attacks are basically futile, someone still has to stay in position.
But originally, I planned to draw lots to decide, after all, this is a matter of narrow escape,..."
"Special Commissioner, my mixed company is willing to stay on the battlefield!"
Before Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, Zhao Shitou volunteered.
Duanwu looked at Zhao Shitou, nodded and said: "Very good, what I, Duanwu, said still stands. If the brothers come back alive and forget the past, we will still be brothers!"
"yes!"
Zhao Shitou responded loudly and saluted the Dragon Boat Festival. All the soldiers of the first mixed company saluted at the same time.
The Dragon Boat Festival returned the favor, then turned around and left without looking back.
He did not look at the figures of those soldiers again, because he felt that he seemed to be sorry for them. Because he lied to them again.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan caught up with him, because he looked at Duanwu with something wrong.
He walked side by side with Duanwu, but saw tears in the corners of Duanwu's eyes.
Xie Jinyuan said in confusion: "Tuanzuo, there is nothing wrong with your handling. What's wrong with you?"
Duanwu hugged Xie Jinyuan, patted him on the shoulder and said: "There are not many old people in the Independent Regiment."
At this time, Xie Jinyuan was stunned, and some things that he couldn't figure out before seemed to be figured out all at once.
When seeing Sun Bo'an off during the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Jinyuan reminded the group that this would cause problems. And when the Dragon Boat Festival was about to kill people, he asked the Dragon Boat Festival why, but he still didn't tell.
This is a bit unusual, because as Duanwu's deputy, Duanwu never hides his tactics from him. But this time, Duanwu didn't even tell him, the regimental deputy.
Everything is for this moment, Dragon Boat Festival needs to leave a death squad on the position. Whether these people are veterans or new recruits, it can be said that very few survive.
And if Dragon Boat Festival wants to give an order, this order must be given to the independent regiment. Otherwise, the soldiers of the 174th Division would say that the Dragon Boat Festival was asking them to die and preserve their own strength.
So who is going to die? Special Company 1 escorted the weapons and equipment away. The Special Second Company and the Special Third Company were newly recruited. Asking them to perform this task is no different from asking soldiers of the 174th Division to perform the task.
The same goes for the Third Battalion. Although they are the Sichuan Army, the Sichuan Army has been used as cannon fodder too many times. If the Sichuan army is allowed to die again, it will definitely affect the morale of the third battalion.
So if you want to leave a death squad, you can only choose from the first and second battalions. And one of the battalion commanders will be left behind. Either Sun Shiyu or Zhu Shengzhong.
But there are not many old men in the Independent Regiment. Apart from Xie Jinyuan, Zhu Shengzhong, Zhou Dabang and Sun Shiyu, there are currently less than twenty veterans of the Independent Regiment left in the entire Independent Regiment.
So this time Duanwu was selfish. He calculated against the 174th Division, allowing the soldiers to cause trouble, and then carried out fake shootings for disobeying military orders, but in fact he let them install large troops on the position to confuse the Japanese bombers.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan was silent. He finally understood why Tuan Zuo had such a painful expression.
He didn't say anything, he just followed Duanwu and watched him limping. The wound on his leg began to bleed again, but the man seemed unaware of it.
Is the Dragon Boat Festival exhausting?
No, he was tired. Looking at the soldiers and brothers falling in front of him, his heart felt like a knife.
But the war will continue, and whether it is today or tomorrow, familiar faces will still die one by one.
He would also tell lies of one kind or another to deceive the Japanese and those big-headed soldiers who knew nothing about it to die! ...
················
Buzz! Buzz!
Five minutes later, the Japanese plane arrived, but it was not a Japanese bomber but a Japanese reconnaissance plane.
The soldiers were a little panicked, and many thought it was a Japanese bomber coming.
Duanwu looked through the telescope, and at this moment Zhong Jiushan came in and asked for instructions: "Special Commissioner, the Japanese plane is coming, should we move?"
"No, this is a reconnaissance plane for the Japs. Let the Japs see it. He will leave after completing the reconnaissance. At that time, let the soldiers quickly enter the jungle along the communication trenches on both sides of the position and hide.
Remember, this time, I don’t want anyone to disobey my order, otherwise I will not give you another chance to intercede. "
This was the first time in Dragon Boat Festival that he spoke to Zhong Jiushan with such a serious look. Zhong Jiushan understood what was going on and assured Duanwu: "Commissioner, please rest assured, there will never be a next time."
"Very well, let's go!"
Dragon Boat Festival gave the order and Zhong Jiushan left. It seemed that the whole thing was moving forward as expected by Dragon Boat Festival.
I just don’t want to, right now. However, Major General Bo Tian received a secret message: There is a fraud in Yushan, and it must be dealt with quickly! ...
