"Oops. It hurts me, me. Stop it. The middle-aged man and several deserters shouted loudly. If they had known that this was the outcome, they would never have run away. Because it's too cruel for them.

The Republican Army's punishment for deserters was extremely severe, and if they did not need some people, they could be executed outright. Of course. For deserters, Shangwu's execution orders were extremely cautious, and the final execution power rested with the War Department.

Although they could not be executed, the necessary punishment was still available, and each of them would be given forty strokes of the baton.

"Oops, I, I'm not a deserter anymore." The middle-aged man shouted loudly. It's a pity that the baton won't stop because of his crying, and the swift baton still falls on his north, on the ass.

"Oops." The other party shouted loudly.

"Damn, you still know that it hurts, how do you not know that it hurts when you are a deserter. Now I know how to beg for mercy. Deserve. A sergeant angrily struck him with a baton.

All the soldiers around watched the scene, some of the new recruits, and many more homeless people who joined in. This is what happens to deserters.

"Fuck." The sergeant scolded fiercely as he hit.

"Tell you, your kid's life is still big, but you have been beaten with forty military sticks, if you dare to run with more people on the battlefield, you will die. Beating you up is a bargain for you. The sergeant gave him a few blows, and after twenty blows, he was knocked unconscious. However, the punishment will continue. Everyone listened to the wailing, and it was very scary.

Niu Wazi bowed his head and was silent, he didn't dare to look, although he was not a deserter, but he didn't rush up with many people, in the words of the veteran, it was urine. This is a status that simply cannot be spoken. Niu Wazi felt that why didn't she get herself up at that time, it was good to run to the front. Although they don't have to be beaten, the soldiers who pee can't raise their heads at all.

"It's okay, next time." Ersheng comforted him like this. The second life had his own weapon, and he was given a spear. His ringhead knife was turned in. He can't get that kind of weapon in size or strength, because the ring-headed knife requires a lot of flexibility, and a person like him obviously can't do it.

Ersheng still hasn't killed anyone, but he's not afraid of the dead. The point is, there are a lot of recruits coming in the back, and they are all excited because they have eaten enough. But when they saw such a scene, they knew what they had to do. Ersheng felt that he had the appearance of a veteran. Although he was very young, he knew at that time that as long as he continued to work hard, he would definitely become a veteran, he had his own goals, he wanted to become a firearms man, at least without charging, holding the firearm steadily, aiming, and he could get such a point.

However, this requires some combat experience, and he still lacks some, as long as he works hard, he will definitely become an excellent soldier.

Niu Wazi was assigned to the cooking class and went to do chores. Because their commander thinks that he is an unqualified soldier, it is difficult to continue to stay in his original post, after all, such a situation will cost them too much, too many such and such situations. The situation of the guerrillas was very cruel, and it was a very severe test for them to survive with little supplies.

Hedong, in the classroom of an elementary school. The faint light sometimes makes it difficult for the people below to see what is written on the blackboard above, but the people below are quietly studying.

The dog baby held her own small stone slab and took a small chalk to copy the words on the blackboard stroke by stroke. He was the hardest working student in the school, and he could already know 200 words. That's a great thing, and it's not just that. But the dog baby thinks that the best thing about himself is that he can write his own name. Although the writing is not very good, being able to write your name means that you don't have to press your fingerprint in the future. That feeling, very high.

Shanwa is the stupidest one in the school, and she can't write her name until now, or she can only write half of it, and the so-called half is that two people can't recognize what the word is. But Shanwa has one good thing, that is, his memory is super good, but all he remembers are some stories. Thing.

They have some current affairs education classes every day, mainly about things in the newspapers, sometimes about the stories of battle heroes, and some about things that happened during the management of the Republican Army, such as the division of fields, the concentration of fields, how to farm, how to harvest, food, treatment in factories, work, and so on. Of course, there are also some novels and stories, which are the things that Shanwa is most willing to hear, and when he hears such things, his eyebrows flutter. A lot of people have this opinion.

But most people listen to it as a story. But the dog baby thinks that people should live with a purpose, and at least they should do something.

Therefore, he felt that he had to learn 2,000 words first, and then become a bookkeeper and earn more, instead of relying on strength to eat. Shanwa didn't think much about it, he said that he wanted to be a soldier, and being a soldier could not only have food to eat, but also land, in addition, if he won the war, he could get a medal, which was a very glorious thing.

He thinks that those people in uniform are very good. The dog baby didn't know what Shanwa was thinking, but he knew that there was no such opportunity if he didn't study. He wanted to seize such an opportunity. Such an opportunity is too difficult. After coming here, they realized what kind of situation was here.

Hedong, the front line of the separate infantry division. Zhou Cang took the binoculars to check the situation on the front line. The armies on the other side seem to be constantly learning, they are constantly strengthening the fortifications, the Republican army has barbed wire on this side, and all kinds of obstacles will be created on the other side, and the Republican army will build three lines of defense, and they will build at least five lines of defense.

As long as the republican army has new tricks, the other side will learn, and then continue to improve, as long as they can suppress, they will do everything, the two armies are like rats, constantly big holes, they even do some unexpected things, for example, both sides shouted to the other side to surrender, and even when it came to the meal, both sides deliberately held fans to float the fragrance of their own food.

The Republican Army is holding out the dumpling soup, which tastes great. Especially lamb bone broth. Add chopped shallots, the taste is fragrant.

The other side seems to smell it too, but they eat everything like poop. Of course. The other party will also occasionally bring out something nice, such as roasting a whole lamb. They will not hesitate to stand on it, nibbling on a leg of lamb. It's best if you can take a sip of wine.

And the Republican Army, on the other hand, will not hesitate to take out the wine. Even if you don't drink it, it will make the other party hungry.

However, there were no deserters from both soldiers, and the state army was strictly disciplined. Catching is an extremely severe punishment. And the Republican Army doesn't look down on the conditions of the state army. for they don't even have land of their own.

Both sides shouted insults in the trenches as if they were at home, or said something about themselves.

Of course. The two sides are like brothers, and sometimes they will have awkward quarrels, for example, when the food on the opposite side is not comparable, they will pour out their feces and disgust them. Or jumping out to and pee. And the Republican Army will scare them with a few intimidating hits. Make them embarrassed, for example, urinating in their crotch. Cause even greater ridicule.

"Sir, if we continue like this, we will lose our fighting spirit, which is very detrimental to us, and we must break this deadlock as soon as possible." A staff officer said.

"I know that too, but how can such a thing be broken?" Zhou Cang asked.

"This." The staff officer did not know how to proceed.

Their staff officers had also deduced, for example, that an attack might be much more advantageous with a large number of artillery bombardments, but in doing so, the amount of ammunition consumed was staggering, and the attack might not have been very effective, because the trenches blocked most of the attack. This made their firepower advantage not play very well, which was a huge disadvantage, and Zhou Cang opposed it.

If they make a detour, their forces cannot be insufficient, not only that, but they lack the necessary mobile forces, after all, their artillery cannot be pushed by people, and once they make a detour, the combined state army with mobile forces will pose a great threat. So, the roundabout operation was abandoned.

If it is advanced in parallel, too much firepower will be expended. This is a huge challenge for them. Zhou Cang was very embarrassed by this, because he really couldn't find a good way to deal with it.

The two sides were at a stalemate, which attracted too many, too many Republican troops. Similarly, there is a lot of pressure on the cantonal side. It is difficult for the two sides to deal with such a stalemate.

"We don't have a good way to do it at the moment, many of them are too expensive, and the higher authorities will not agree to them, and there are no cavalry units that should have been assigned to us. This limits our mobility, and it is very troublesome to fight. Zhou Cang said. The thing that changed the current situation was that it took a lot of courage for them to fight deeper, and going deep meant giving up some of their firepower, ensuring the soldier's ability to assault, and their mobility, which in that case was too stressful. It could even lead to the annihilation of troops that have penetrated deep into the enemy. Zhou Cang felt that it was very dangerous, and the odds of winning were not great. Otherwise, he would have done it a long time ago. It's too hard for them.
