As a witness to the September 18th Incident, although Zhang Lianjie's camp did not "die bravely, everyone became a benevolent person, and sacrificed for the country", he also suffered dozens of casualties because he did not fire back.
However, as a small person, although they also have the trouble of being cannon fodder, they have the advantage of being a small person, that is, they only need to obey the orders from above, and those things that they cannot catch up on naturally have nothing to do with them.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and Zhang Lianjie's battalion was already stationed near Jinzhou along with the main force.
Little people like Wang Laomao, Li Fushun, and Shang Zhen knew very little about the development of the entire situation after September 18th. They did not know that the Japanese army had occupied three provinces in the three northeastern provinces in just one week after September 18th. More than ten cities.
At noon that day, Shang Zhen, who was in charge of serving as a sentry, was standing guard with a gun.
The rifle he used was called the Liao 13 Type 79 rifle, but it was manufactured by the Northeast Army's arsenal.
To say that the Northeast Army was originally named Fengjun, the industrial base is the strongest in China today.
Not only can their arsenal make rifles, Shang Zhen heard that they can also make aircraft and tanks!
Shang Zhen had seen airplanes in the sky, with four "wings" on each side. He had also seen tanks from a distance, with wheels underneath and tracks on the outside.
As for the reason, it is naturally because his home is near Dongdaying.
But whether it was flying or running on the ground that day, it had nothing to do with him as a new recruit. He now had an urgent desire to practice marksmanship.
His desire came from two sources. One was that he felt the crisis of survival after breaking out that night, and the other was because he returned home.
That night he himself was left behind and broke out from the Japanese army.
Seeing that he could come back, Li Fushun was naturally happy.
But just when Shang Zhen was eating the half-rolled steamed bun that Li Fushun gave him, he let out an "ah" sound.
Li Fushun asked him what was wrong, and Shang Zhen said, I feel like my hands are sticky.
Ma Erhuzi, who was on the side, hurriedly opened the match to check, and only then did they realize that Shang Zhen's body was already spattered with blood, and the bayonet handle in his hand was also stained with blood.
Li Fushun quickly asked Shang Zhen what was going on, and Shang Zhen gave a rough summary of what he had experienced.
Only then did Li Fushun know that Shang Zhen had encountered the Japanese army, and he had actually rushed out of the enemy's formation!
Li Fushun and Ma Erhuzi naturally praised Shang Zhen's behavior, but this experience deeply stimulated Shang Zhen.
At that time, he was also forced by the Japanese army. He had to fight out or be captured without mercy. As a result of the struggle between the two, he finally became a brave man.
But becoming a brave man at that time does not mean that he will not be afraid afterwards. If he hesitated even a little bit at that time, he might really not be able to break out!
Shang Zhen was stunned when he saw the blood on his hands. If he remembered correctly, when he was eating steamed buns just now, he swallowed the sticky stuff directly into his stomach.
Although I am very tired, it is because my body has always been relatively weak, but my body does not hurt.
If there is no pain on your body, it means that you are not injured, so do you still need to ask whose blood it belongs to? And just now, I actually swallowed the blood of the Japanese soldiers directly into my stomach. How could this not be disgusting?
From this, she thought of the situation when the soldier was killed when he broke out from the Beida camp. The ancients who were killed by firearms appeared in his mind, so he was about to vomit out.
Just when Li Fushun was about to comfort Shang Shi and Shang Zhen, he suddenly held back.
At that time, the match in Ma Erhuzi's hand had been extinguished. The so-called match was just like the matchstick in the hand of the little match girl in the Danish fairy tale. How long could it last?
Due to the darkness, even Li Fushun didn't know that when Shang Zhen was trying hard to overcome vomiting, he stretched out his hand to push back the steamed bun that had vomited from his throat to his mouth!
Perhaps, one afternoon, a boy who was taking a nap felt some kind of change in his body.
Perhaps, after a lot of hard work, a certain girl met her legendary mother's sister.
This is a process that must be experienced in life's growth. It is the awakening of the human body.
However, when Shang Zhen reached out and covered his mouth to prevent him from spitting out the food that filled him with energy, it also represented an awakening for him, an awakening as a warrior!
That night, just when Shang Zhen overcame the urge to vomit and was about to follow Li Fushun to catch up with the large army, Li Fushun suddenly said, "Why don't you go back and see your mother?" We may not know when we can come back once we go.
This place was not far from Shang Zhen's home. From where they were at that time, it was the only way to go east, so Li Fushun was confident that he would pass by here as long as Shang Zhen came back.
When Li Fushun, Shang Zhen, and Ma Erhuzi arrived home, it was already dawn. Before they even entered the house, they heard Shang Zhen's mother panting.
Shang Zhen's mother suffers from asthma, which is called "Jian" among the people in the Northeast. That refers to the buzzing sound made in the respiratory system when a person suffers from asthma.
When Shang Zhen called the door and entered the house, he saw his mother, who was struggling to breathe, and his elder brother and sister-in-law, who were at a loss what to do.
When the old lady saw Shang Zhen and Li Fushun coming back, her flushed face, which was already coughing under the light, turned even redder.
When she knew that Shang Zhen and Li Fushun might go to far away places, it took a lot of effort to say a few words.
She said, my mother will definitely not be able to survive this winter, and you will have no mother in the future. You two should live well and think about finding a wife for yourself.
Li Fushun comforted his mother, while Shang Zhen remained silent.
But they were worried about the troops leaving, so they and Ma Erhuzi just drank some water and ate some solid food at home, and then hurriedly left home again.
People are often like this. When they have a mother, they will talk back to their mother and disapprove of her. But when they feel that they are going to lose their mother, they feel that they have become the most pitiable child in the world.
The moment he left home, Shang Zhen realized for the first time how strong his sense of belonging to home was.
Only a mother can have a family. If a mother loses a home, she will be gone. Even the brothers are not that good!
Shang Zhen decided to live well. He would try his best to survive this war, and then give himself a daughter-in-law to fulfill his mother's wish!
Because of this, Shang Zhen is eager to improve his fighting skills, so these days, whether on the road or when he is staying, he practices his aim.
With Shang Zhen's physique, if he held a rifle for a long time, his arms would naturally become stiff.
But if you want to be a true warrior, don’t you need to be ruthless with yourself?
Shang Zhen still remembers Ma Erhu's surprise when he said he had killed Japanese soldiers, but what impressed him most was what his third brother, Li Fushun, said.
That night Li Fushun said that no matter how good a soldier is in fighting, he is still an ordinary person, but he is just ruthless to himself and not afraid of death at critical moments. If our waiter has this ruthlessness, he will definitely become a good soldier in the future!
But that’s what Li Fushun said.
Although Shang Zhen also felt the passionate feeling when he killed the enemy, it was as if something was awakening in his blood. Of course he also wanted to be a good soldier, but he cared more about his own life.
How to save his little life, as his mother said, and have a daughter-in-law in the future, this is what he really thinks.
In any case, whether it is to save one's life or to become a good soldier, it requires real ability.
Both Li Fushun and Ma Erhuzi had taught him how to load bullets into the rifle and how to aim and shoot. He had also practiced many times.
But the problem is that so far he has not missed a single shot!
