Yan Jun smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang, please come back."
"Please tell the concession authorities that I will only negotiate with their representatives. If they are sincere, they will send at least one director to Sihang Warehouse to talk to us. You should stop coming here. It is useless."
"Okay, then I won't tell you. After all, you are just a patriotic overseas Chinese who returned to the country to join the war."
Zhang Baiting seemed to have made a certain determination, and then turned to Wu Jie and the other two and said, "If you still consider yourself to be officers and soldiers of the 88th Division, come with me now, right away."
After saying that, Zhang Baiting turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Wu Jie and the other three remained motionless.
It was embarrassing now. Zhang Baiting could either stay or leave.
Chen Shunong said angrily: "Okay, you guys really dare to disobey me?"
Zhang Baiting also said word for word: "Soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders!"
"Then I won't be a soldier!" Zhu Shengzhong took off his hat and threw it heavily on the ground, saying angrily, "Without the military uniform, I can still resist the Japanese and fight against the Japanese!"
"Zhu Shengzhong, do you want to be a deserter?"
A murderous intent flashed across Zhang Baiting's eyes.
Escape from battle, disobey orders on the battlefield, and be killed without mercy!
"Deserter? Ha." Zhu Shengzhong sneered in response, and then took off his khaki military uniform with a swipe.
Yan Yan and several motley army veterans present subconsciously looked over and saw that Zhu Shengzhong's back, chest and even both arms were full of hideous bullet holes.
"This was at Yan's house. The bullet pierced my left arm. I couldn't fire with one arm. I just threw grenades to repel three Japanese attacks."
"This is in Zhuyuandun. I am lucky. The bullet passed between the two ribs and did not hurt any vital parts."
"These were in Nanxiang. A Japanese artillery shell landed less than three meters away from me. Shangguan and a few brothers dug me out of the crater. I no longer looked like a human being!"
"This was in Jiading. I had just recovered from my injury when I caught up with the Japanese and attacked Jiading. More than forty brothers in a platoon were killed in the battle. I was the only one left in the entire forward position gasping for air. I was shot six times in my legs. But I didn’t retreat, I was stunned to repel six charges from the little Japs with a Maxim!”
"And this, this, these are all left behind by the Japanese!"
"Zhang Shenzuo, you say I'm a deserter? Am I a fucking deserter?"
"Have you ever seen a deserter like me? Are there any deserters like me?"
By the end of the sentence, Zhu Shengzhong's voice and look were fierce and his eyes were about to burst.
Facing Zhu Shengzhong's soul torture, Zhang Baiting could only remain silent.
If even Zhu Shengzhong was a deserter, then there would be no one in the national army who was not a deserter.
Chen Shunong turned to Yang Deyu: "Platoon Leader Yang, what about you? Do you also want to resist orders on the battlefield?"
Yang Deyu didn't say much, and took off his military uniform, revealing scars all over his body. Moreover, the scars on his body were more terrifying than Zhu Shengzhong's, because Zhu Shengzhong's scars were individual, while Yang Deyu's scars were all over the body. , covering almost the entire back, chest and abdomen, without even an inch of good meat.
"It was also the 128th Anti-Japanese War in the 21st year of the Republic of China."
"Our company was ordered to garrison the Xinglong Flour Mill at Baziqiao."
"During the exchange of fire, the stock of flour was thrown into the air."
"As soon as a Japanese artillery shell fell, the whole factory exploded."
"To this day, whenever I close my eyes, the sky is filled with flames."
"There are also images of brothers running, struggling, twitching and screaming in the flames."
"There are more than a hundred brothers in the whole company, and there are more than a hundred lives. I am the only one who survives."
"I didn't feel anything at the time. I just felt burning pain all over my body. But I could still move, so I continued to fight the Japanese with a rifle and a box of grenades. When reinforcements arrived, there was still smoke coming from my back."
"Later, Dr. Tang told me that the meat on my back was fucking cooked."
Yang Deyu's tone was very calm, but the story he told was extremely horrifying.
Yan Yan sighed softly and said: "The survival rate for such a large-area burn is extremely low. Not only is the wound infected, but mainly because very few people can withstand the pain, and they will basically die of pain."
The motley veterans present all cast admiring glances at Yang Deyu.
Yan Jun turned his gaze to Zhang Baiting again and said sternly: "Chief of Staff Zhang, the national army has so many good soldiers and so many soldiers who are not afraid of death. Why do they keep losing again and again? You are really ashamed of these veterans and their sacrifice." You shed blood and sacrifice, you senior generals are all sinners, you are the sinners of the Chinese nation!"
Zhang Baiting looked sad, and he really felt guilty towards Yang Deyu.
In other words, he felt guilty for veterans like Yang Deyu.
Just say that the veterans of the company who died with Yang Deyu at Baziqiao did not receive even half of their pension.
Yang Deyu used his pitiful military salary to help the orphans of his comrades, but he did not help even a little bit.
"Come on, we are not afraid of death, let alone deserters." Yang Deyu stared at Zhang Baiting and said, "But we don't want to be imprisoned by the foreigners in the Riverside Building and become useless prisoners of war. We just want to stay on the battlefield and continue to fight the Japanese." , Such a request is not too much, right? Not too much, right? Om?"
Zhang Baiting's throat was choked and he could not speak for a while.
Chen Shunong said angrily: "Isn't this too much? This is disobedience and lack of military discipline!"
After roaring twice, Chen Shunong turned his attention to Wu Jie and said, "You are a battalion clerk and have also gone to college. You know the military regulations and doctrines of the national army better. Do you think these two are going too far?"
"Special Commissioner, I also want to stay." Wu Jie's tone was calm but extremely determined.
"You also want to stay?" Chen Shunong pointed at Wu Jie and asked with a stunned expression, "So you also want to be a deserter? You also want to disobey? You also want to rebel?"
"We just want to resist Japan and fight the Japanese!" Wu Jie said.
"But don't forget your identities!" Chen Shunong said, "You are soldiers, soldiers of the 88th Division. As soldiers, you must obey the orders of your commander. Now that the commander has asked you to evacuate the Sixing Warehouse, you must evacuate the Sixing Warehouse unconditionally. , refusing to evacuate is disobedience and rebellion, and according to military regulations, military law should be executed!"
"Commissioner Chen, let me correct you." Yan Yan decisively interrupted Chen Shulong's roar, "Yang Deyu, Wu Jie, Zhu Shengzhong and the more than 50 officers and soldiers staying here have separated from the 88th Division."
It is inevitable to leave the 88th Division, but in fact Yan Yan did not want to leave so early.
At least he didn't want to break away from the 88th Division's battle order until he rescued the lone battalion.
The reason is also very simple. It is not conducive for the more than 300 soldiers of the Lone Army Battalion to integrate into their midst.
However, both Chen Shunong and Zhang Baiting played the card of disobedience on the battlefield, so the plan could only be advanced.
As a soldier, Yan Yan knows very well that military orders are like mountains, and obedience is the soul of the army!
No matter you are the National Army, the Eighth Route Army or the People's Liberation Army, you must not get used to the problem of disobedience on the battlefield.
Therefore, being strict will never let Yang Deyu, Wu Jie and Zhu Shengzhong develop the habit of disobedience.
Not wanting Yang Deyu and the others to disobey orders, and not wanting them to obey the orders of Zhang Baiting, the chief of staff, there was only one way left - to break away from the 88th Division's order of battle.
"What? Already separated from the 88th Division?"
Zhang Baiting and Chen Shunong were stunned for a moment, they really didn't expect this.
Yang Deyu, Wu Jie and Zhu Shengzhong were also stunned when they heard this.
I said, Lao Yan, why didn’t you tell us about such a big event in advance?
But soon, the three of them felt relieved again. Is there any other choice now?
If you do not break away from the 88th Division, you must obey orders, and you will inevitably be disarmed and imprisoned by the merchant group of all nations. You will inevitably be handed over to the Japanese in the future, and you will eventually be tortured to death.
If you refuse to obey Zhang Baiting's order, you must break away from the 88th Division.
Although there is a high probability that he will die in battle in the end, at least he can die on the battlefield in a dignified manner, and he can kill a few more Japs before dying, which can be regarded as living up to his khaki cloth.
"Yes, they have broken away from the 88th Army."
"Now the three of them are officers of the Songhu Independent Regiment."
"Others have also become officers and soldiers of the Songhu Independent Regiment."
"What, the Songhu Independent Group?" Zhang Baiting and Chen Shunong were stunned again.
Wu Jie, Yang Deyu, Zhu Shengzhong and a few other veterans of the motley army also looked at each other.
Good guy, in the blink of an eye, you even have the unit number? This is too fast.
