"This is a cannon!" said Mr. Wang.
"The Japs from the Gubeikou direction have started attacking again!" Shang Zhen said.
"Do you think the Japs' cannon can blow up our Great Wall?" Chen Hanwen asked.
"How is it possible? It's impossible for everything to collapse. The sky can be blown to pieces." Hou Kanshan said.
"Is it like your chipped teeth?" Xiao Dustpan took Hou Kanshan's words again.
After Hou Kanshan came back and everyone discovered that his temperament had changed, his gaping teeth became the object of ridicule.
This time the little dustpan made fun of Hou Kanshan's gaping teeth, and a few people laughed again.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen stopped him and said: "Don't be so heartless, the friendly troops are eating Japanese artillery shells at the front!"
As soon as Shang Zhen said this, everyone stopped laughing.
Yes, although they won a small victory this time and everyone armed themselves again, they took advantage of it.
Just like those people at the checkpoint of the 25th Division who helped them fight the Japanese invaders just now, why should they defend their position?
"You shouldn't laugh!" Chu Tian also spoke at this time.
Just the same words score what kind of people say.
Last time, Chu Tian was speechless by Shang Zhen in the debate about whether he should defend the frontline and return to the construction. But this time he had a ready-made weapon, and Shang Zhen was fine with it. You said how others treated him? See you or not.
So when Chu Tian said this, others curled their lips.
But the problem is that if Chen Hanwen among Shang Zhen and others is a half-hearted scholar, Chu Tian is a real scholar.
The so-called book business is angry. If you have something to say, you have to say it. Chu Tiancai doesn't care what Shang Zhen and others think.
"This Great Wall was built by our Han ancestors, and it was originally used to guard against barbarians from the north.
The Hu people are nomadic people. They always use their cavalry to run to our Han areas, burning, killing and looting, just like the Japanese today. "Chu Tian began to speak.
Qian Chuan'er originally wanted to interrupt Chu Tian, but he shut up as soon as Chu Tian mentioned the Japanese.
Hu Zhuzi was about to open his mouth but was stopped by Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen also wanted to hear what the Great Wall was about. It turned out that he only knew a little bit about it. Since Chu Tian mentioned the Japanese devils, he also wanted to hear it.
"Since the Great Wall was built to protect against the barbarians in the north, it was also the Guanshan built by our ancestors to protect the outside world.
You see, the Great Wall has walls, beacon towers, and fortresses. We then send out garrison troops. If barbarians attack, the soldiers at the checkpoints will light beacon smoke.
When our large army sees beacon smoke rising in front, they will come over for reinforcements.
With the Great Wall blocking the way, even though the Hu people had very good horses, they could not make it across. "Chu Tian began to talk about the Great Wall.
Chu Tian also understood now that the educational level of his group of soldiers was really not very high, so what he said was relatively detailed, although it was common sense to those who were educated.
"What is beacon smoke?" Hu Zhuzhu asked without understanding.
"Why are you so stupid? You're just a lit firewood pile! Go on, pretty boy." At this time, surprisingly, Mr. Wang also spoke.
Even though Wang Lao Mao is usually very nagging and old, this does not prevent him from also wanting to know something about the Great Wall.
Moreover, Mr. Wang is already over 40 years old. He will never look down on Chu Tian just because someone said that Chu Tian didn't say anything about Shang Zhen.
Mr. Wang has never read a book, but he also knows the importance of reading. For example, Chen Hanwen once used the sentence "I cry in a lonely tomb thousands of miles away" to make his mind wander all over the place, causing him to think about his woman for half the night. .
"So this Great Wall symbolizes that we Chinese are guarding our own land. It cannot be said that it is the largest mountain pass for Chinese people, but it is also the longest mountain pass for us Chinese people. Therefore, it is absolutely nothing to say that the Great Wall was blown down by the Japanese devils. Funny thing!" Chen Hanwen explained again.
Chen Hanwen's words were easy to understand, and Hu Zhuzhu nodded this time, so how could others not understand?
"Then, then you said that the Great Wall protects China, then why are our four northeastern provinces outside the Great Wall?" At this time, Meng Laowai asked.
"When the Great Wall was being built, China's territory was not so big. It was only later that China became so big.
As for our four northeastern provinces, there were still very few people inhabiting them at that time.
How could there be so many people from the Northeast? Today's Northeastern people all came from Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places to travel to Guandong. "Chu Tian explained again.
Of course Shang Zhen and the others knew this.
Take the Northeastern Army as an example. No matter how you look at it, they say they are from the Northeastern Army. When we talk, we chatter and you chatter, and our mouths taste like dirt, but suddenly they say "mine" with a Shandong accent and a Henan accent. There is nothing surprising about those who say, "I'll beat you to death, my grandson." These are all immigrants.
"No one knows whether we can hold the Great Wall, but even if we can't hold it, we can't say it's unlucky." Chu Tian concluded.
This time Shang Zhen and the others nodded.
Shang Zhen and others, that is, Shang Zhen and Chen Hanwen, do not use bad words. However, although others use a lot of bad words, it cannot be said that they do not respect knowledge and culture, because they are reasonable.
And this is the difference between being literate and being uneducated.
A great man once said that the power of war lies among the people. In other words, the power of the common people is the greatest, but nowadays the common people in China are really illiterate, and the illiteracy rate is almost 90%.
But from another perspective, uneducated people are easily influenced by literate people.
Talking about the past life, during the Qing Dynasty, a Chinese suddenly invented a kind of God-worshipping religion.
But did he really worship God? Maybe, thank you, but I was actually the one who pulled up a group of peasants and eventually formed a huge peasant uprising called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Speaking of future generations, look at those who sell this medicine or that medicine and deceive old men and women. Isn’t that because old men and women cannot keep up with the needs of the times and their culture has not been updated?
Well, anyway, Chutian did make Shang Zhen and the others understand the importance of the Great Wall through his own explanation.
But at this time, when they listened to the faint sound of the invaders' artillery and looked at the Great Wall winding in the mountains, their eyes became different.
Since the September 18th Incident, Shang Zhen and his group have traveled southward and have lost all the mountains in the northeast. Now they have finally reached the foot of the Great Wall. Will they also lose the mountains left by their ancestors this time?
There is no doubt that everyone has ancestors, and Shang Zhen also has them.
Shang Zhen thought that maybe his ancestors had also participated in building the Great Wall, which was unknown.
My ancestors could use the Great Wall to block the barbarians who were armed and iron horses, but what could people like me rely on to block the Japanese invaders? Should we use our flesh and blood?
Hearing the faint sound of cannons in the distance, Shang Zhen and the others set out on their way home again.
This time they came out to get weapons, and they have successfully completed it. Although a small group of Japanese troops came earlier, they should only be waiting for the Japanese troops. Even if a large Japanese army comes to the mountain again, the sentries of the 25th Division will fire warning shots. , so they walked back in no hurry.
But amid the faint sound of cannons in the distance, Shang Zhen and the others suddenly stopped in their tracks, because at this time they heard an explosion that was louder than the sound of cannons in the distance.
Everyone turned around together and looked to their right front. And then they saw black smoke rising from there.
It was shelled!
Others didn't know it, but Shang Zhen knew it. That was the flanking position of the 25th Division. Oh no, it seemed like the Japanese army really planned to come through this mountain pass!
