Just after Shang Zhen and the others led the mob to annihilate the skeleton team, the entire New 7th Brigade retreated again and did not fight the Japanese troops attacking from the flank.
The reason here is that Badaolouzi has been occupied by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army set up heavy machine guns and mortars on the high ground where Badaolouzi was located, and conducted complete fire suppression on the Chinese army trying to recapture Badaolouzi.
Since Badaolou is the commanding height of the right wing of Nantianmen, you can see the surrounding situation from a high position.
The Japanese army used flags as commands from the commanding heights. Wherever the Chinese army appeared, the Japanese army's heavy firepower greeted them.
As a result, it is not only impossible for the Chinese army to recapture Badaolouzi.
Badaolouzi is the flanking position of Nantianmen, and the place guarded by the New 7th Brigade is the flanking position of the flanking position.
Now that Badaolou has been occupied and there is no dangerous terrain on this flank, the New 7th Brigade has no great significance here. The order given to the New 7th Brigade from above is to move with the camera.
The so-called camera moves, translated into common people's vernacular, means just do whatever you like.
So the New 7th Brigade finally withdrew, but only to a place called 421 Highland a few miles behind.
At this point, the brigade commander Liu Chengyi also breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been asked to lead such a ragtag group to resist the Japanese army, he would have been prepared to die in the line of duty.
And Shang Zhen and the others finally proved with their actions that these people were not deserters. Not only were they not deserters, they were also a team that was particularly capable of fighting!
This is exactly what Qian Chuan'er said when the three soldiers lied and said they were deserters. Shang Zhen and the others have probably killed more Japanese soldiers than the entire New 7th Brigade.
What Shang Zhen and the others didn't know was that Hou Kanshan stuffed the plaster flag with a skull on it into the Japanese soldier's mouth.
Just over a month later, a local newspaper in Japan published a piece of news, "Skeleton Team Resurrected". Ironically, it was this newspaper that first published "Skeleton Team Climbs the Great Wall."
How could Shang Zhen and the others know that they had actually done something that would bring glory to the face of the entire Northeast Army.
As long as the brigade commander Liu Chengyi gave them freedom again and stopped treating them as deserters, they would be satisfied.
What made Shang Zhen and the others particularly happy was that all their weapons were returned, including Shang Zhen's 20-ring box cannon and his telescope.
Everyone is safe and sound, and they also have their favorite weapons. For a soldier, is there anything happier than this?
Perhaps because Shang Zhen and the others were different, Liu Chengyi did not organize them into any army, but only let them temporarily follow a company, which finally gave them a place to eat. Shang Zhen and the others were "crooked" "Melon Split Date" can finally enjoy the shade under the big tree.
The company commander named Hu was very polite to Shang Zhen and the others, and did not let Shang Zhen and the others call him company commander. He just called himself Big Old Hu.
Since the rules were relaxed, Shang Zhen, who finally had some free time, took everyone to take a bath in the civilized water bubble.
It's April now, and the weather has turned warm. Although it's still a little early to take a bath and the water is still very cold, Shang Zhen and the others really don't care about it anymore.
Why do veterans like to smoke? A very important reason is that battle-hardened veterans often wander among corpses, and no one can stand the suffocating smell of corpses!
People who live in peace can hardly imagine what corpse odor smells like.
But if someone is from the country and happens to throw a dead pig next to your vegetable garden, then just smell that smell in the summer. The smell will be as ubiquitous as the air and make you gag.
But the dead pig also attracts countless mung bean flies.
Human beings don't like it, but some creatures like it. You can say that this world is so wonderful, or you can say that this world is so cruel. All living things have their own laws for survival.
And being a dead human being is no different than being a dead animal.
When a person is among hundreds of rotting corpses, what it will smell like is not imaginable but rather unimaginable. It is the smell of hell!
As a veteran, Mr. Wang once said this. He said that if a person interacts with such dead bodies too much and is smoked for a long time, there will always be a stench on his body that cannot be removed.
This sounded so disgusting, and this was one of the reasons why Shang Zhen took them to take a shower.
"Go, go, wash off the smell of broomsticks on your body. From now on, you will be heroes and no longer broomsticks!" The old man said jokingly when Shang Zhen said he wanted to take a shower.
Shang Zhen and the others proved with their actions that they were not deserters.
And in the battle to eliminate the skeleton team, Wang Qingfeng, who almost got into trouble, was also in trouble now.
Of course, even if he is unlucky, he will never be unlucky. Who said his brother-in-law is a brigade commander?
Wang Qingfeng's behavior made his brother-in-law angry again.
Just after they left the front line, gossip came from the brigade. This time Liu Chengyi didn't even let Wang Qingfeng take care of the logistics, but made him a cook in the logistics department who didn't have to take care of anything!
What is a cook in the army? That is equivalent to a cook among ordinary people.
When Shang Zhen and others were talking about Wang Qingfeng, they imagined that Wang Qingfeng was wearing a greasy apron and waving a shovel in his hand, cooking for others in front of the 12-print cauldron like stirring pig food, and they had a kind of feeling. A feeling of schadenfreude.
In fact, they didn't want to do anything to Wang Qingfeng.
Little guys like them could be court-martialed if they made a mistake like that.
But for the brigade commander's brother-in-law, being a cook wielding a shovel to cook a big pot of rice is already the biggest punishment.
"Look! Am I still numb?" In the bubbles, Shang Zhen, who was streaked with blood, hit his body with water, with a proud smile on his face.
The water was still very cold, and his skin had been turned red by the water, giving him goosebumps, but he was still rubbing it, as if to rub away the corpse smell that Mr. Wang had said about his body.
Hearing what Shang Zhen said, Wang Laomao and the others, who were also taking a shower, looked at Shang Zhen and smiled.
"It's not a hemp anymore. You are a green onion now. When you turn into a big winter melon, you will be even more powerful!" Little Dustpan said with a smile.
Yes, Shang Zhen has become a lot stronger.
Although he can't compare with a strong man like Erhanzi Hu Zhuzi, he already has muscles on his body, and even has six-pack abs on his abdomen.
"Six pieces of meat, which one of you has it?" Shang Zhen was very lively now that there was no war. He no longer had to worry about everyone's life and death.
"Does six yuan make you awesome? Look at me!" Qiu Bo, who was squatting in the water, stood up. Only then did everyone see that when Qiu Bo tried hard, he saw that there were eight yuan on his lower abdomen ( Meat)!
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, we still need to work hard!" Chen Hanwen said next to him.
When Chen Hanwen said this, Qian Chuan'er laughed and said: "Our family is half a scholar, and now we are almost half a scholar after learning from the scholar!"
Everyone laughed again.
Banla Xiucai refers to Chen Hanwen, and Xiucai of course refers to Chu Tian.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and we still need to work hard. This sentence was first said by Chu Tian, and he also explained the origin of this sentence.
When Chen Hanwen quoted this sentence, he undoubtedly meant that Shang Zhen's six yuan was missing a little, and when he could practice eight yuan again.
"Okay, hurry up and wash up. Chutian will come over later." Shang Zhen said again.
Chu Tian became the only person in the bath who was not present. At this time, he was sitting on the top of the mountain with two officers.
One of the two officers was Da Lao Hu, and the other Chu Tian also knew him. He was a staff officer in the brigade named Li.
"Everyone is taking a shower, why don't you get down? Is it because you are a student soldier and you are afraid of stripping naked?" The elder Hu winked at Chutian narrowly.
"No, they are all grown men. What's so scary about being naked?" Chu Tian said with a smile.
"Then why?" Big Old Hu asked.
"Shang Zhen said that a sentry must be left. Maybe they are used to making their own decisions and lack a sense of security!" Chu Tian replied.
"How do you explain this?" Staff Officer Li asked.
"You know, as I told you just now, I joined them later. They fought all the way from Beida Camp to here. It can also be said that they escaped here.
They don't believe in others, they only believe in themselves. They want to control their own destiny! "Chu Tian explained.
"You're kidding, how can you control your own destiny in this world?" Staff Officer Li retorted, "Just like when a soldier fights a war, you must make the will of your commander your own.
You are just a dog under the command of the superior, and you will bite whomever you are told to bite.
You are like a gun in the hands of the superior, you can hit whoever you are told to hit! "
Staff Officer Li was also a student, so he and Chu Tian could still chat together.
"You're right." Chu Tian replied after thinking deeply, but then added, "Maybe they think they can control their own destiny. That's why they are not very obedient!"
Shang Zhen and the others were still bathing in the water. Naturally, they had no idea what Chu Tian and the two officers were talking about.
Maybe Chu Tian was born as an intellectual, and he still felt that he was different from people like Shang Zhen after all.
"Everyone who can fight has personality, but it's also about management. This is the army. If they don't obey, they will suffer in the future!" Finally, Staff Officer Li concluded, while Chu Tian remained silent.
And amidst the laughter of Shang Zhen and the others in Shuipaozi and the silence of Chu Tian, suddenly the rumble of artillery came from the north, and a new round of Japanese attack began again.
