Shang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Wu Keyong's words.
In his mind, the scene on the night of September 18th could not help but appear.
The sound of the Japanese army's artillery, the shining bayonets of the invaders in the dark night, the screams of the unarmed Northeastern officers and soldiers in the barracks, the rain of bricks that his second company inflicted on the Japanese army, and the first weapon he had captured since he became a soldier. A trophy - a bayonet.
But that night, what orders were given from above? Since Shang Zhen had many contacts with the top management of the Northeast Army, he now knew that the original words of the order on September 18th were "No resistance, no movement, put the gun in the library, hold on and die, everyone will be successful." , Sacrifice for the country”
When Shang Zhen recalled this sentence, Wu Keyong also said: "The order that day was 'No resistance, no movement, put the gun in the library, hold on and die, everyone will be benevolent and sacrifice for the country.' .
I memorized this sentence several times before I could remember it all. Why should I remember this sentence? What do you think? "After saying this, Wu Keyong's eyes swept over everyone's face.
When everyone saw Wu Keyong's eyes, their hearts froze. Under the bright candlelight, Wu Keyong's eyes actually gave them the illusion of blood red!
"Ha!" Unexpectedly, Wu Keyong laughed, but that smile was a sneer, a mocking smile, and an angry smile! "Put your damn swords and guns in storage, don't move, don't resist, sacrifice for the country! These are all fucking nonsense! This is a shame for our Northeastern Army!"
Wu Ke's voice had already risen when he said this, and his hoarse voice echoed in the room.
"When I heard this sentence, I thought, if I had the opportunity to fight with the Japs, why wouldn't I resist?
Think of our people who died because they were not allowed to resist.
Think about the guns we have in our hands now.
Think about what happened when we passed through Xi'an and braved the disapproval of the world, so that we finally had the opportunity to confront the Japanese invaders.
So what reason do we have for not completing our tasks? "
Having said this, Wu Keyong looked at his subordinates again.
There was only dominance in his eyes, no pleading, only orders without discussion!
So under Wu Keyong's gaze, an officer suddenly stood up and replied loudly: "The general is not afraid of death, and his subordinates will follow suit!"
At this time, many officers who were originally sitting at the table suddenly stood up, raised their chests and raised their heads and said in unison: "The general is not afraid of death, and his subordinates will follow suit!"
Shang Zhen was completely shocked.
Yes, it used to be that people were not allowed to resist when they had guns. Now that they have guns, why not resist?
The general is not afraid of death, and the soldiers will follow suit with death. This is the real army!
Now that the matter had been decided, the meeting ended and the officers walked out of the house.
If it is impossible to hold another meeting here, they will eventually retreat at midnight, but who knows how many of the participating officers will be left by that time.
Shang Zhen, standing in the corner, sighed again.
He was first shocked by the attitude of the entire Northeastern Army united in killing the enemy, but due to his temperament and temperament, he was rarely impulsive, so he immediately calmed down.
At this time, an eternal famous saying jumped out of his mind. This ancient famous saying is called "One general's success will cause thousands of bones to dry up."
Right? But then Shang Zhen rejected his idea, because it is not true that one general's achievements and tens of thousands of bones were withered on Wu Keyong.
Shang Zhen led his own people to participate in the battle during the day. As a small team like them, they only participated in local battles. Naturally, it was impossible to know the overall situation. However, after attending the meeting, he realized that now only the 67th Army was left. There are more than a thousand people!
That was a team of 25,000 to 6,000 people, but now there is less than a fraction left, which makes Shang Zhen feel extremely shocked.
But even in this situation, Wu Keyong insisted on blocking
Now the troops are still fighting in the streets with the Japanese army. The Sixty-seventh Army is desperately blocking the Japanese army and preventing the Japanese army from intercepting the retreating Chinese army. But why don't the Japanese army not want to attack desperately and try to cut off and surround the Chinese army?
So if we really persist until midnight, how many people will be left among the more than a thousand people?
In addition to the more than 1,000 people, the more than 20,000 people were the casualties of the 67th Army, that is, the ten thousand bones were withered.
However, it is inappropriate to use "one general succeeds" to describe Wu Keyong, just because Wu Keyong went into battle with his own gun many times, and even drove all his own guards arranged by Chang En, the commander of the 108th Division, onto the battlefield.
In fact, it is inappropriate to describe the many soldiers of the Northeast Army who have sacrificed their lives for the country.
Sense of shame and then courage.
The current Northeastern Army, at least the current 67th Army, is an army that knows shame and seeks to avenge shame. However, they want to use their own actions to wash away the shame brought to them by September 18th.
It can be seen that Wu Keyong was definitely not for the success of a general, he was indeed for the reputation of the Northeast Army!
Only then did Shang Zhen realize that Wu Keyong's position in the army and his authority among subordinate officers and soldiers were unshakable.
Shang Zhen had something in mind, and at this moment he noticed Chang En, the commander of the 108th Division, looked at him, and then gestured to him with his eyes.
Shang Zhen saw Chang En walking out, so he followed him out.
"Boy, I asked you to protect our commander, where did you go during the day?" After exiting the first door of the military headquarters, Chang En stood in the door and said to Shang Zhen.
"It's not that I don't want to obey your orders, Commander, but the Army Commander really won't let you follow!" Shang Zhen, who had already expected it, said aggrievedly.
"That won't work, then you have to follow him!" Chang En said decisively, but after thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself: "His bad temper, you can't help it if you always hang around him."
Chang En thought for a moment before saying, "Let's do this. You stay away from the army and protect them in secret. I'll say hello to the guards."
Faced with Chang En's statement, what could Shang Zhen say? That was all he could do.
Twenty minutes later, Mr. Wang was already with Shang Zhen, and he lit another cigarette.
Not far away, someone was shouting loudly: "Hey! I haven't had enough of playing in front yet!" The person who spoke was Hu Zhuzhu.
It is wrong to say that we beat the Japanese devils and we do not hate the Japanese devils, but it is also wrong to say that people like them are not exhausted, and only people like Hu Zhuzi can say this.
"Shut your mouth. From now on we are performing the task of protecting the commander, and we cannot let the commander find out!" Qiu Bo solemnly warned from the side, so Hu Zhuzi shut his mouth.
Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao undoubtedly saw this scene, but neither of them said a word.
Wang Laomao took a deep breath from the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and then asked Shang Zhen in a low voice: "Then why do you continue to fight? I don't believe that none of the officers objected!"
"I'll fight you too," Shang Zhen replied.
"Why?" Mr. Wang asked.
So Shang Zhen recounted the meeting to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang fell silent.
Wang Laomao and Shang Zhen were both witnesses of September 18th.
. It should be said that they were lucky at that time. The officers had the will to resist, and Shang Zhen came up with a way to pick up bricks from the kang, and they successfully broke out from the Japanese bayonets.
Otherwise, wouldn't they really be waiting to die?
And just as Army Commander Wu Ke said, now that he has a gun in his hand, he is allowed to fight the Japanese, so why not fight? Why should we fear death?
