The blood and the rising muddy water were mixed together, and this was just a long trench. Since it was not living water, the water could only slowly settle.
Hundreds of Northeastern officers and soldiers stood on the edge of the trench and looked at the blood-stained water.
Although there were corpses of Japanese invaders in the water, there were more corpses of Northeastern officers and soldiers.
Just because there are only a few Japanese troops who can rush to this trench, and a considerable number of Northeastern officers and soldiers guarding this trench have been killed by Japanese artillery fire.
Shang Zhen and the others were all silent, thinking that some of them were also killed in battle.
One is Wang Zhuang, and the other two soldiers were also selected by Shang Zhen and others from the 7th Brigade.
Shang Zhen turned around and glanced at his own people. Ma Erhuzi and Qiu Bo entered the water quietly, and the river water that had just settled became turbid again.
He always wanted to fish his brother out of the waist-deep ditch.
Soon, the bodies of Wang Zhuang and three other fallen soldiers were lying on the edge of the ditch.
"We have to bury them." Wang Laomao said, so everyone started looking for shovels next to the trench.
But at this moment, someone next to Shang Zhen and the others suddenly whispered: "There is no time. We have a new mission. We are going to chase the group of Japanese who just attacked. We must block this gap."
It was Lei Liang who spoke.
Lei Liang's tone of voice was low, just like Shang Zhen's mood at this time.
How many heroes are buried in foreign lands.
Has it become a luxury to build a tomb for heroes?
Lei Liang's words undoubtedly made most of Shang Zhen and his group unhappy.
Hu Zhuzhu almost blurted out, "We are not from your 76th Army. Do you still care about our own people?"
But before Hu Zhuzi could speak, Shang Zhen glanced at Hu Zhuzi.
Although Shang Zhen didn't know what Hu Zhuzi would say specifically, he knew that if Hu Zhuzi spoke at this time, he would definitely cause trouble, so he took the lead and said, "Then don't bury him."
As long as he doesn't collect the corpse of his brother, even Shang Zhen's words may not be effective. Shang Zhen also understands the mood of his group, and then he said: "The battlefield is our destination. I remember I said, if anywhere If I die one day, I don’t need to bury it, I will just rot in the ground.”
Shang Zhen's words immediately sealed Hu Zhuzi's mouth, so the others remained silent.
"Brothers, I'm really sorry, but think about it, if there are not 10,000 of our brothers who died in the battle, there might as well be 8,000. There's nothing we can do!" Lei Liang explained apologetically.
So everyone became more and more silent
"In these war-torn times, people's lives are like grass. Whoever dies is not a kid from the Northeast." At this time, someone whispered, it was Chu Tian.
No one like Shang Zhen looked at Chu Tian, but they knew in their hearts that this was the truth, but they felt uncomfortable!
"Where is the loess that doesn't bury people?" At this time, the oldest Wang Laomao sighed.
So after all, no one said anything.
"Captain Lei, let's go." Shang Zhen said.
Everyone then pursued the Japanese army in the direction of retreat.
It's just that at this time, someone was on the north side of the trench, and someone was on the south side of the trench. This was equivalent to a small river in the middle.
Then the water splashed again, and the soldiers from the south began to cross the trench.
"Why do these idiots come to harm us Chinese?" At this time, Xiao Dustpan suddenly cursed, and then he suddenly jumped down from the edge of the ditch on the south edge.
Normally, when a person jumps into a ditch, there will naturally be a "plop" sound.
But there was no dustpan, just because his jump landed his feet on the body of a Japanese soldier in the ditch.
then. Although the small dustpan fell into the ditch, he also used his own weight to forcefully smash the Japanese corpse into the water.
It's just that Xiao Dustpan's venting was just a small episode when they set off. In the end, everyone walked towards the north dripping wet.
The terrain here is open, but that doesn't mean there are no woods. Although the woods are not vast, they will eventually block people's sight. No one knows where the Japanese soldier has gone, but fortunately, he can trace the mud Shoe prints on the road.
However, during this march, another episode occurred.
Chen Hanwen looked back at the trenches that had gone away and said in a measured tone: "Your body will rot and turn into fertilizer to nourish the land of China.
You will ride on the wind above the Nine Nights and sympathize with the happiness, anger, joy and sorrow of the world.
All sins will end in this life, forgive those damn beasts! "
Chen Hanwen's sourness was rising again. No one could figure out why Chen Hanwen said such words at this time, so his fate of being beaten was doomed.
"Go away, you bastards. I know I won't let those little Japanese go free! Who can forgive them?" Ma Erhuzi cursed in a low voice.
Chen Hanwen's face turned red. He felt aggrieved because he called the Japanese devils beasts.
"Fuck, there's no one else who can say such a nice thing about burying a dead man under a plum tree.
I see you are so stupid when you are with a pretty boy! "Old Mao Wang also cursed.
Chu Tian glanced at Mr. Wang but didn't dare to talk back, thinking who did I offend again? Now pretty boy has become his nickname.
I don’t know what other provinces say about burying dead people under plum trees. At least this is the saying among Northeasterners.
Of course, it doesn’t necessarily mean that those buried are dead people, but that they are buried with the corpses of livestock, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, etc. After those corpses rot, they will turn into fertilizer, and the plums on the plum tree will grow again. Big and sweet.
Of course, everyone said so, but no one had ever seen anyone actually burying a dead person under the plum tree.
The reason why Mr. Wang said this was to challenge Chen Hanwen for what he said about making fertilizer.
Neither Shang Zhen nor Lei Liang, who were walking in front, noticed this episode during the march.
They were talking as they searched for places to hide in the distance.
"Alas." Shang Zhen suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Lei Liang asked.
The so-called carrying guns together and going to the countryside together are good brothers. War can quickly bring people closer to each other.
Of course, Shang Zhen and the others were not responsible for annihilating all the Japanese troops. Lei Liang and the others also contributed to their timely reinforcements.
"I just wonder why you always have to defend your position. It doesn't make sense to attack us like that." Shang Zhen explained.
"What can we do if we don't defend our position? There are hundreds of thousands of people behind us, and large troops are withdrawing from the battlefield." Lei Liang also seemed a little uninterested.
"But why do those hundreds of thousands of troops have to fight against the Japanese devils? Why don't we, China, as big as China, deal with the little devils and seize the opportunity to beat them to death?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"Then what you mean is that we shouldn't defend our position, so we won't lose more and more territory?" Lei Liang asked back.
"I think it is right to kill more little devils." Shang Zhen replied, "Our China is so big, no matter how many little devils there are, there are still a lot of little devils. If we have the opportunity to fight against the little devils and take advantage, then run away, so that the little devils will get better." The more deaths there are.”
"How can little people like us explain this kind of thing clearly?" Lei Liang shook his head.
He felt that what Shang Zhen said made sense, but he knew that in the chess game of the Sino-Japanese war, all of them were really just pawns, let alone soldiers like them. Is this also true?
When Shang Zhen was about to say something more, they suddenly heard gunfire from ahead.
