Faced with the question, Sun Changhai opened his mouth but said nothing. Xu San was not here, so he really didn't dare to take the initiative.
After being promoted, this guy became arrogant and arrogant. Especially after he went to Dagushan with Xu San to "persuade" Chu Yunfei to surrender, he became even more complacent and told everyone he met how he was in Dagushan. The story of a verbal battle with a group of scholars on the mountain, and then retreating unscathed.
He said it a lot, spread it a lot, and he was Xu San's lackey, so in the end many people believed it.
In critical moments, the most fearful thing is that there is no person in charge or leader. This is the situation of these puppet troops in the cement factory now. It is a mess and no one comes out to say a word. And Sun Changhai, who they have the highest hopes for at the moment, is like a frightened quail. Trembling with fear. Looking at Sun Changhai, whose face was pale and his body was like chaff, many puppet soldiers already knew that Sun Changhai was just a boaster and a flatterer. As for fighting, he could only do it.
Sun Changhai's speechlessness and inaction caused the puppet troops to riot, and any resistance they originally had was evaporated by his cowardly performance. As a result, the situation gradually began to get out of control, and many puppet soldiers had begun to form gangs and prepare to run away with buckets.
Although Sun Changhai didn't say anything, he was not stupid. With many years of experience in the puppet army, he had already noticed that someone was about to run away.
It would be better if everyone ran together, but if the team dispersed, they would definitely be beaten to death on the way to break through.
He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.
There is some chaos on the school grounds again. The well-organized puppet troops have already formed their own team and are preparing to escape. Moreover, this team is still growing. If it weren’t for the leader who refuses to obey anyone, it is estimated that this team that broke through would have been defeated by now. Pull up.
With no one to suppress them, the school grounds became increasingly chaotic, and some people were already fighting because of anxiety.
Although there were only three or four people fighting, it was getting more and more violent.
"Bang!"
Just when the situation was getting a little out of control, a sudden gunshot silenced the noisy school grounds.
"Shut up, mom!"
After silence, a sharp, bright, and harsh voice appeared behind Sun Changhai.
Perhaps the sound was too harsh. After the sound appeared, many people subconsciously covered their ears and turned to look behind Sun Changhai.
Sun Changhai also covered his ears and saw a man and two women standing not far behind him.
The man is Thomas, the technical director of the cement plant, and the women are Xiaohong and Su Yuan.
Thomas was still wearing a dirty suit and holding a metal wine bottle in his hand. He looked extremely decadent. Although he was decadent, the puppet soldiers did not see fear on his face.
Xiao Hong was wearing a small suit and carrying a handful of small Brownings. She was dressed smartly and competently, without being angry or assertive, while Su Yuan was standing behind Xiao Hong, looking a little scared, like a little maid.
Many of the more than a hundred puppet soldiers knew Xiao Hong, so when Xiao Hong appeared, these people went out of their way to introduce him to others who didn't know him yet.
Mr. Xu’s concubine and apprentice.
After learning the identities of Xiao Hong and Su Yuan, the rioting team calmed down.
Xu San's prestige among the Fifth Battalion is quite high. In troubled times, a woman with breasts is a mother. These puppet soldiers all know that Xu San is the one who feeds them, and the presence of his women and apprentices here shows the truth. It's not as bad as I thought.
"Miss Xiaohong, where is the third master?" Someone who knew Xiaohong asked.
"Xu Jun is on his way. He will arrive before evening." Xiaohong answered the question with a loudspeaker.
The loudspeaker in her hand was still the one she used to shout in Dagushan. After taking it, she put it in Thomas's hand. The scene was a bit chaotic today, so she took it out for Xiaohong to use to shout.
Hearing that Xu San was still on the way, the puppet troops present were basically relieved, but some people still asked worriedly, "What if the Eighth Route Army attacks before the third master comes?"
Xiao Hong raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, are our Eighth Route Army so scary?
As long as you surrender obediently, we will treat the prisoners preferentially.
But these words cannot be said. Not only cannot they be said, but they also have to say words that echo their identity, "If you fight them, we will fight them back. Are the guns in your hands fire sticks? Don't forget, you are We rely on this cement factory to make a living. If this cement factory disappears, you may have to live a life of one meal and no next meal again. I ask, are you willing to live that kind of life?"
Xiaohong's demeanor was spot on, her words were very passionate, and her words spoke to their hearts.
As a result, the fear of the Eighth Route Army became much less intense, and the determination to keep one's job increased.
Seeing the puppet troops becoming calm, Xiaohong felt bitter and complained about why Xu San arranged for herself to learn English.
Just learn, why do you still happen to catch up with the Eighth Route Army's attack on the cement factory?
I am forced to put myself on the shelf to comfort these traitors and puppet soldiers.
Seeing the puppet troops who had stabilized their military morale, Xiaohong thought again, does her current behavior count as collaborating with the enemy?
It probably doesn't count. If it does, it's because of Xu San's instructions.
After the situation was stabilized, Sun Changhai also straightened his back and said with head held high, "I heard it all. The third master will come before evening. Before that, we must do what we should do."
"Platoon Commander Sun, then give the order."
"Okay! Now those who have worked as engineers should go back and get the guys immediately. Before the third master comes, we must repair the fortifications. As long as our fortifications are repaired well, even if the Eighth Route Army comes to join the regiment, they will not be able to break into the cement factory."
Sun Changhai's order still worked. Although his performance just now was very unbearable, his actual military rank was still there.
After seven or eight puppet soldiers with engineering backgrounds left the team, Sun Changhai gave the order again, "Zhao Ming, Hu Liang, and Feng Xiaobao go and count the weapons and ammunition for me."
"yes!"
The three people who were named immediately came out of the queue and came to Sun Changhai's side to stand by.
Sun Changhai had a straight face, thought for a while, and shouted to the team, "Dunzi, take the chef class and seize the time to prepare dry food. You can make as much as you can before dark. If there is a fight, I won't cook for you." time."
"Yes! Platoon commander!"
"Also! Prepare the dry food and show it to me! Don't let anyone steal it. We are surrounded and it is very difficult to get supplies, so the food must be uniformly rationed." Sun Changhai continued to give instructions.
"yes!"
At this point, Sun Changhai could think that everything had basically been arranged, and he was almost at the end of his rope. (End of chapter)
