"We have withdrawn. I wonder what the outcome will be like?" Chen Hanwen said worriedly as he watched the officers and soldiers withdrawing from the front.
"What kind of outcome can we achieve? We will both be destroyed!" Chu Tian sighed.
"What?" Chen Hanwen was surprised. He didn't understand why Chutian would use the phrase "both jade and stone" at this time.
"Didn't you watch? There were very few people who came back, and they were obviously disabled." Chu Tian said, looking at the officers and soldiers who could not be said to have abandoned their armor, but who also seemed to have low morale.
"Can't I see that I'm disabled?" Chen Hanwen expressed dissatisfaction with Chu Tian's answer.
"Don't you see? Those who came back are all able to walk. Do you see any of them being carried?" Chu Tian asked again.
Chu Tian's words expressed the commonality of the officers and soldiers who had withdrawn. Although many officers and soldiers were holding rifles or hanging their arms, there was no doubt that at least they had the ability to act independently.
These people are all lightly injured, but what about the seriously injured? The severely wounded must have stayed on the position, or they would have stayed on the position forever.
Chen Hanwen firmly did not believe that those seriously wounded soldiers surrendered to the Japanese army.
"Why can't we get a stretcher team or something to carry the wounded back?" Chen Hanwen asked angrily.
"There are people who can carry the wounded who have already gone to the battlefield, and they are still serving as a stretcher team?" Chu Tian said disapprovingly.
"Think about those seriously injured people, but they are all fellows from the Northeast. From the September 18th war to the present, they have ended up with such a dead end without a burial place. They can only return their souls to their hometown." Chen Hanwen sighed. , his half-literate temperament came back again.
But no matter what, what Chen Hanwen said was true. For a moment, he and the soldiers in the guard company around Chutian fell silent.
Yes, all the soldiers in the guard company are from the Northeast. They have no choice but to return to their hometown without a burial place. Chen Hanwen's truth suddenly turned into Sun Wukong's golden cudgel that can turn into an embroidery needle. In the blink of an eye, It turned into countless tiny embroidery needles, but it pricked the heart of every soldier present!
After a while, a soldier suddenly asked: "You think, we are also resisting the Japanese. Although we are going back to our hometown, aren't we also protecting the people here? Why can't the local people use it?" Can we carry our wounded down on stretchers?"
It makes sense for him to ask this. Although the local people did not show up in the current battle, they still encountered local people and students who helped out in other battles.
Now that the soldier brought up this topic, several soldiers cursed angrily: "These heartless people!"
They were undoubtedly criticizing the local people.
But it was only after a while that a soldier said in a very low voice: "Captain Liu once said that it is impossible for the common people to help us with the way our national army is fighting. If we want the common people to help us, then We are not us, we are—"
What are we? Needless to say? No one is asking the answer to this question anymore.
Because the answer is very clear. If the common people can always help them, then they are not the troops of the Chinese Kuomintang, they are the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party of China!
The Northeastern Army and the Communist Party of China have a historical relationship. This has already started since the Xi'an Incident. In fact, many of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Northeastern Army were from the other camp in the civil war.
For example, the soldier just mentioned Captain Liu. How could he mention the Communist Party if he didn't have another secret identity?
It's just that this kind of thing can be expected or unspeakable, but no one will take the initiative to say it.
"What are we? We have to be the sons and grandsons of the common people?" Some soldiers were unhappy, "I am fighting for my life in front, at least to protect the lives of the common people. I have never killed the common people, so they can't come to save them. Wounded?"
"You can't say that." Chu Tian spoke at this time, "Then let's not say who it is. Even if we didn't rob, we never requisitioned the people's things? We never beat or scolded the people?"
After all, Chu Tian was born as a progressive student. He must have more people-friendly ideas than ordinary Northeastern officers and soldiers. Moreover, Shang Zhen and his group have always been under the control of Shang Zhen. Although there are times when he harasses and harms the people, it is a matter of right and wrong. There is absolutely no bad thing about it.
That’s why Chu Tian would make such reflections
"Fuck, I could lose my life at any time. What's wrong with eating some of his food and drinking some of his food?" The soldier became even more unhappy when he heard Chu Tian speak for the common people.
"I think what this brother said is wrong. We fight for the common people, and the common people save the wounded for us. That's two good things and one good thing.
Then we all have to compete. Let's say I blocked the gun for you. You can eat and drink what you want. Even if I am a bachelor, you have to give me a wife.
People say that when you are fighting the Japanese, you are not looking at me, but you are just looking at you and causing harm to us. How can the military-civilian relationship be good if they are so competitive? "Chu Tian still disagreed with the soldier's statement.
But when he wanted to say something more, he was interrupted by Qiu Bo: "What are you talking about? Take care of the immediate situation first. I don't know whether I can survive or whether I can protect Brigadier Zhou Quan!"
Qiu Bo has always been steady, and he is here to make peace with others.
But making peace with Xini is also a technical job. If the reconciliation doesn't go well, it's very likely that you won't be able to please both sides!
So Qiu Bo asked whether he could protect the brigade commander Liu Chengyi. When he said this, the soldier became silent, and Chu Tian also became silent.
In fact, this kind of debate has been concluded in later generations, that is, the dispute between the pure military line and the anti-Japanese united front, which is better and worse, has already been answered.
But now the Northeastern Army is included in the national army. Can you propose an anti-Japanese united front? Of course not! If you mentioned it, you would be suspected of being red.
Of course, mentioning the National Army now may not do anything to you, but who can guarantee that if these words reach the top brass of the National Army or are heard by the military commander, they will not hold grudges? So how could Qiu Bo let Chu Tian continue talking?
At this time, Mr. Wang was still with Shang Zhen, and Mr. Wang was talking again, but Shang Zhen was still lowering his head and sharpening the tip of the bullet.
"I also want to find a place to take your little Aunt Wang to retire. This is really great. I have to bear the Japanese attack for a while. I guess my old bones must be thrown here.
Poor Aunt Wang, she has it in her belly, but it hasn’t bulged yet! "Old hat Wang sighed while holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the officers and soldiers who were retreating from the front.
Seeing that Shang Zhen remained silent after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Shang Zhen.
Um? This time Shang Zhen has changed, at least he is no longer grinding bullets. It seems that Shang Zhen was still shocked by the news that he, Ju Hongxia, was pregnant.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wang became proud, but he smiled and said: "You little bastards, behind my back, you say that my old tree cannot bloom new flowers, and that even if I plow the tree and bloom the begonias, it will be in vain. Don't think that I don't." Know!"
"I never said that." Shang Zhen objected. This must be clarified. Shang Zhen still knew that elders and younger ones were in order, and he still respected Mr. Wang.
"I didn't say anything about you!" Mr. Wang said angrily, but then he became sad again, "But this time it's good, I'm just serving as cannon fodder for others. What a nice plate of day lily, it's cold!
If this war breaks out, my miserable child may not have a father, and I don’t know how many of us will be left. I can’t brag with you little brats anymore. "
"Are you bragging? What are you bragging about?" Shang Zhen raised his head and looked at Mr. Wang curiously.
"If all of our people can survive, I will pull all of our people in front of your Aunt Wang, and I will point at your Aunt Wang's big belly and say, you bastards, take a look and peel them off. Take a look with your eyes, do you know what's in your little Aunt Wang's belly? That's my seed, my Old Man Wang's seed!" Old Man Wang was already lost in his own reverie.
Shang Zhen looked at Mr. Wang's bluffing look and wanted to laugh but held back.
But then Mr. Wang said: "When the time comes, Mr. Shang, get a gun and keep an eye on me!"
"Why?" Shang Zhen was even more curious. Didn't you, Mr. Wang, just say that you have a daughter and brag in front of everyone? Then why do you need me to use a gun to fight?
"I can guess it all!" Mr. Wang's voice rose, "If I pointed at your little Aunt Wang's belly and said, look, this is my seed, if they say weird things, for example , who can prove it? For example, that’s not necessarily the case! Then you can kill that bitch with one shot!”
With a "poof" sound, Shang Zhen couldn't hold it in any longer, and he laughed directly.
Don't tell me, it's entirely possible for Mr. Wang to imagine this. Although the soldiers couldn't say it in front of Mr. Wang, there must be such whispers behind his back!
