Chapter 345: The Crippled Team
In the village in the wind and snow, someone was crying, it was the rich landlord who had been driven out of his house, and yesterday they were happy and obedient to the imperial army.
Today, their homes have been requisitioned by the national army, and they have become homeless, or they have been convicted of traitors, and they don't even know where this army came from, because they haven't seen the national army for a long time since the devil came.
The soldiers, ragged and discouraged, appeared in groups of embarrassed groups, many of them still bandaged and covered with dried blood, and when they entered the village, they only cared about lighting all the stoves and fires.
Eat all the food you can turn up, and then huddle in the room with no one talking. Only a few heralds occasionally ran through the village, or occasionally heard some of the commanders shouting or reprimanding.
This embarrassed army, like a dark cloud, brought a lot of depression to this village that originally thought it was happy.
An officer, standing in a leeward corner, with a badge of dress that looked like a major, was shouting an order to a group of guards: "Patrol, the village must be patrolled!" Disturb the people and punish severely! Robber kill! β
"Staff Officer Yao, are we going to stop here?"
"If you don't stop, you can do it!"
This Yao staff officer had a very bad face, his eyes were bloodshot, and after the words fell, he turned around and left, entering the gate of the mansion not far away.
Strode through the courtyard, entered the hall, glanced at the remaining half cup of tea on the table, looked up and asked the guards standing by the door of the Tongli room, "Where is the regimental commander?" β
The guard bit his lip and did not speak.
Staff Officer Yao glanced at the door behind the guards, tore off the military hat on his head, slammed it on the table, picked up the half cup of herbal tea that he didn't know who drank leftover, drank it all, and then sat down helplessly at the table, untied the wind and discipline buckle under his neck, and was in a daze with dark clouds on his face.
After some time, the door opened, and the regiment leader walked out while buttoning his clothes, and saw Staff Officer Yao sitting in the hall.
"You're back...... By the way, as far as I know, the owner of this house is not a traitor, just a landlord. β
Staff Officer Yao smiled, smiling helplessly, with a hint of desolation: "Which of his female relatives told you this?" β
The head of the regiment didn't react, swayed to the table, sat down, held the table with one hand and sighed: "I can finally stop and rest." β
"Tuanza, I don't think we can stop, although the pursuit is gone, it doesn't mean that the devil won't come again, this place can't stay."
"Can't stay? If you can't stay here, where else can you go? β
"Not really...... Continue north, into the mountains, and transfer out through the area of the Eighth Road. β
Hearing this, the regiment commander stared at Staff Officer Yao for a while, and suddenly asked, "You destroyed the radio station, right?" β
Staff Officer Yao was silent for a short time and replied, "It's me." β
"Hehe, I suspect your surname now."
The head of the regiment seemed to be smiling, his eyes were complicated, and his tone was cold. Regarding Staff Officer Yao's speechlessness, he thought that his words had a deterrent effect and maintained the dignity of his regiment commander, but he did not realize that his extremely inappropriate sarcastic sarcasm completely chilled Staff Officer Yao's heart.
"I've been with you for many years, I'm for this team, and the radio can let the devils find out our traces......"
"That's what I said, joke, you see you take it seriously! As for the next step...... I think we'd better be cautious, it's necessary to have a meeting to study it, what do you say? β
What else can be said? Speechless! This straw bale leader is a loyal and good boy in the eyes of Shangfeng, and in order to carry out unrealistic orders, he was beaten off half of the regiment by the devil.
Now that the radio station is gone, I thought he could stop being a puppet and be down-to-earth, and after a month of hard work, he just took advantage of the opportunity of the devil to rest and get rid of the pursuit.
But he coveted temporary comfort and ignored the crisis. The so-called meeting and research, it's just that he doesn't have the courage to insist on the cold wind anymore, and the woman makes him soft!
Picking up the hat from the table and putting it back on, Staff Officer Yao stood up and sighed deeply: "Now...... The system is not complete, the team is very chaotic, this will ...... How to open? β
"That's what worries me! The top priority at the moment is to smooth out the ranks, let the brothers take a breath, and ensure that they do not lose the morale of the army, so that they can fight again! β
Staff Officer Yao turned around, went out with a calm face, walked through the courtyard, and just came out of the gate, he caught a glimpse of a soldier running towards him in a hurry, immediately stopped, and waited until he got close and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Report, come, two people are here!"
"Who?"
"He said, they're the Eight Ways!"
"What?"
At this moment, Lu Hang and Meng Rat were standing in the cold wind at the head of the village, looking at the groups of sloppy soldiers with gray faces walking past the village from time to time.
Although they are the same gray military uniforms, they are cleaner and neater, the only difference is that they do not have the blue sky and white sun emblem on their military caps, but the blue and white armbands, the words 'Eight Roads' are particularly clear.
No matter how strong the wind and cold were, he also stood straight, his chest was like a proud rooster, and his rifle was hung behind his shoulder without a bayonet.
Although he stood behind Lu Hang's side and looked solemnly, he actually despised those wandering spirits in his heart, because he firmly believed that he was the best soldier.
Lu Hang had no expression, just subconsciously pinched his frozen fingers, looking at the numb soldiers who walked in front of him one by one, his heart was actually not calm, because he came out of such a team, and he used to be one of the lonely ghosts, walking in the mud and cold like these numb spirits in front of him.
A major officer strode into the contemplative gaze of the army air, causing him to leap out of his mind and look at the comer. The pace was heavy and steady, giving people a superior sense of steadiness, and the uniform was also torn and stained, but he still wore it neatly.
The other party did not take the initiative to stretch out his hand, but coldly faced Lu Hang, who was also cold: "Who are you?" β
"Independent Regiment, Commander of the Special Operations Company, Army Aviation."
"I don't have much to say until I prove who you are."
"Let's talk about proof first."
The major officer turned to the guards and said, "Take them to the compound." β
It is not at all true to say that a camel is bigger than a horse.
Half of a regiment is gone, half of the regiment is also a regiment, and the head of the regiment is still the head of the regiment, not to mention that the people are still officially compiling the root and the seedlings!
In the hall of the mansion, there were five people; In the middle of the hall, there was a regimental leader, in his thirties, although he looked haggard, he was quite rich, the two buttons under the collar were not tied, and the military hat was held in his hand and fiddled.
On the left sat a battalion commander, with a stubbled beard and a fierce face, with a bandage on his forehead and no hat, looking like a fierce general.
On the right sat Staff Officer Yao, and behind the regiment commander stood a guard; It is said that he should be standing behind the adjutant, but unfortunately, the adjutant was unlucky, and he disappeared with the other half of the regiment.
In the middle of the hall, there was a Balu, of course he was Lu Hang.
After looking Lu Hang up and down three times, the regiment commander continued to fiddle with the hat in his hand and asked, "You said you are...... Independent regiment? β
"Yes."
"Hehe, I've heard of the new group, and I've also heard of the temporary group, your independent group...... What kind of group is it? β
This is not a question at all, it is just a mockery, talking about things with fame, which can't arouse Lu Hang's interest in refuting, he only replied lightly: "You can understand it however you want." β
The head of the regiment asked again: "...... How many troops do you have? β
"Four companies."
With a snort, even the battalion commander laughed this time: "Four companies? I'm really curious, how did you come to be this special operations company? Is it used for faΓ§ade? β
"Chosen."
