Chapter 7: Here Comes the Devil (Part II)
It was dawn, but the sun didn't come out today, so the sky above Yuguan City was gray, but because there was snow everywhere outside the city, the light was not particularly dim.
Yuguan City is awake!
Last night's shelling made the city of Yuguan restless all night, although the shelling of the devils later stopped, but the people who had palpitations were all able to fall asleep, and they did not know when a shell would fall on the roof overhead.
After surviving the night in panic, it was finally dawn, and people went out of their homes one after another, looking for news everywhere. They don't know what's going on, and their hearts are really unsure.
The news came quickly, it turned out to be the devil's chariot fired a cannon outside Xicheng, and now the chariot is still parked there and has not left.
As soon as they heard the news, the people immediately exploded:
"Doesn't the Northeast Army have troops in the city, why didn't we see them shooting, is it that we pay for food and feed a bunch of waste?"
"That is, there are their troops on the western city wall, can they just watch the devils scourge us."
"What kind of bullshit troops, I think it's just a bunch of bandits, and they have a great ability to bully the common people."
…………
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Yuguan County, and there were voices condemning the Northeast Army everywhere.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company of the 626th Regiment naturally heard it, and they felt that their faces were hot, and they wanted to put their heads in the crotch of their pants, and ran back to the barracks with their heads down.
As a soldier, it is the greatest shame to not be able to protect the people, and the soldiers of the third company felt that their lungs were about to explode, and they stared at them one by one.
Jiao Xuefei even locked himself in the house, didn't eat a mouthful of food, and several platoon commanders under his command went in to persuade him, but they all ran out scolded.
Jiao Xuefei now feels that he is really too wretched.
Last night, because of the order from above, he could only watch the devils fire so many cannons into the city, turning many places in the city into rubble, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Just this morning, when he led his team back to the camp, he passed by the pancake shop where he often went for breakfast, only to find that it was in ruins, and only after asking passers-by did he learn that the old man who opened the pancake shop and his granddaughter Orchid had died in the shelling last night.
"Orchid, only eight years old, so young a child is also-" In the room, Jiao Xuefei beat his head hard, hating that he couldn't protect these defenseless people, and hating himself for wearing this military uniform on his body in vain.
Am I still a soldier?
Jiao Xuefei blamed himself deeply.
In fact, not only is he blaming himself, but those fighters are also blaming himself, they are the same as Jiao Xuefei thinks.
Ding Xingyuan sat on the kang in the room, holding the formal rifle in his arms, carefully wiping it, his face was very gloomy, as if he had a deep anger in his heart.
Yang Shanzi sat beside him, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, and was smoking it, and the room was full of smoke.
There were twelve people in the house, and now everyone else was sitting or lying on their own beds, but no one spoke.
Yang Shanzi knew that Ding Xingyuan's family died at the hands of the devil, so he had an uncommon hatred with the devil, and the reason why he joined the army was to kill the devil to take revenge.
But now, the devil is in front of him, but he can't shoot a shot, and that sense of grievance makes him go crazy.
If he hadn't tried his best to control it, he would have been fighting with the devil's chariot a long time ago.
The room was so quiet that even a single pin could be heard, and the heavy breathing of twelve people echoed.
With a click, Ding Xingyuan put the wiped bolt back on the rifle, then stood up from the kang and walked towards the door of the house.
Yang Shanzi and the other ten people were all shocked, he hurriedly jumped down and grabbed Ding Xingyuan, "Old Ding, what are you doing?" ”
"Little devil of dog days, I'm not done with them." Ding Xingyuan's eyes were bloody, and his eyes were filled with a thick murderous aura.
He remembered that his old father fell in a pool of blood under the devil's bayonet, remembered that the child who had just reached the full moon was jumped high with a bayonet by the devil and then fell on a stone, and remembered his wife who was spoiled by the devil and used a bayonet to open her belly!
Anger rose in his chest, and Ding Xingyuan felt that if he didn't let it out, he would be burned alive. He pushed Yang Shanzi away and opened the door with a bang.
"Company commander!"
The people in the room were all stunned, and so was Ding Xingyuan, who saw Jiao Xuefei standing outside the door, looking at himself.
"Ding Xingyuan, what are you going to do?" Jiao Xuefei opened his mouth, and his voice was surprisingly calm.
Ding Xingyuan bit his lip, and then said, "Company commander, I'm going to find the devil for revenge." ”
"You're alone?" Jiao Xuefei stepped into the threshold and looked around at the people in the room, "How many devils can you kill?" ”
"It's enough to kill one, and I'll earn money by killing two." Ding Xingyuan said fiercely, and it could be seen that he had made up his mind.
"Ding Xingyuan, if you believe that I Jiao Xuefei has always been a person, if you believe in these brothers who have lived and died together, you will stay, and the blood debt with the devil must be settled with them in the future." Jiao Xuefei took a deep breath, then looked at Ding Xingyuan, and said slowly, "Of course, if you think I'm lying to you, then you can leave now." As he spoke, he pointed his finger out of the door and made way for the door.
Ding Xingyuan stood there, as if hesitating, and just when everyone thought that he could change his mind, he gritted his teeth and flew a military salute towards Jiao Xue, turned around and rushed out of the room, "Company commander, I, Ding Xingyuan, can't stand it." ”
"Lao Ding!"
"Xingyuan!"
Yang Shanzi and the others chased to the door of the house, but Ding Xingyuan had already run out of the courtyard gate and could not see anyone.
"Company commander, why did you let Ding Xingyuan go?" Everyone looked at Jiao Xuefei together, not knowing why he didn't stop Ding Xingyuan.
Jiao Xuefei watched Ding Xingyuan leave, and said secretly in his heart, "Good boy, I have the energy I had back then." ”
Looking back at the group of soldiers around him, Jiao Xuefei shouted, "What do you see, go back to sleep for me, are you still afraid that there will be no war, let you fight enough in the future." With that, he turned and walked out of the door, slamming it shut.
Several people in the room all looked at each other, not knowing why the company commander was so irritable to them, but he was so tolerant of Ding Xingyuan just now.
However, they didn't dare to ask Jiao Xuefei, otherwise he would definitely be scolded with his temper, and maybe he would be kicked.
Since the company commander said that there was a battle, everyone was lying down, and as for whether they could fall asleep, no one knew, perhaps only themselves.
