Chapter 80: Human Nature
Zhang Guanyi was not mistaken, although Zhang Ping was a bandit, he still had a trace of his blood as a Chinese, and he did not beg for mercy and surrender in such a desperate situation.
On a dirt slope about 500 meters behind the determined team, a ghost soldier had just probed to observe the situation behind the dirt slope when a steel crossbow arrow hit him in the throat.
The devil fell to the ground without even snorting, his hands on his neck and twitching, unable to even fire a warning shot.
Li Hongguang moved the mechanism, reset the crossbow string, pressed a crossbow arrow, turned his head and whispered to Ye Jian:
"Camp Commander Ye, do you see it? Liu Cheng made this thing himself, whether it is power or accuracy, there is no problem, within thirty meters, the error is no more than a finger wide. ”
Ye Jian looked at the crossbow in Li Hongguang's hand, nodded and said:
"It's true, don't look at Liu Cheng's age, but when it comes to commanding wars and training troops, I'm ashamed, I just didn't expect him to be able to make his own weapons."
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, got up and climbed over the dirt slope, and quietly approached the determined team in the woods.
Panxi, Eagle's Beak Cliff.
When Liu Cheng and Jin Shihao's team arrived here, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.
Finally arrived at the bandit cottage that had long been abandoned, Liu Cheng immediately asked people to bandage the wounds of the wounded, light a fire to cook, and let the soldiers have a good rest first.
After Jin Shihao settled his people, he walked straight to Liu Cheng's side, and said with a cold face:
"Thank you this time, after a while, you can leave with your people, we people are used to it on our own, and we won't need your help in the future."
Liu Cheng didn't say a word, slowly stood up, beckoned to Jin Shihao, and motioned for him to follow him outside the house.
Jin Shihao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Say whatever you have to say here, I have nothing to say behind my brothers' back."
Liu Cheng stopped, turned around suddenly, and punched Jin Shihao in the face, knocking him directly to the ground.
Jin Shihao's men were all stunned, and immediately picked up their guns after reacting.
Liu Cheng's people were not slow to react, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Jin Shihao got up from the ground and raised his hand to pull out the gun in his waist, but was kicked in the wrist by Liu Cheng, followed by another punch, knocking him down again.
Liu Cheng didn't continue to chase and fight, turned his head and yelled at his own people:
"What? Put your guns down! ”
Tian Liuwa glanced at him with some concern, and then motioned for his people to put down the gun.
Liu Cheng took two steps forward, looked at Jin Shihao and the others, and said loudly:
"What? Now you have the ability? Dare to take a gun? What the fuck were you doing when you just went to war?! ”
Those people looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads with a little weakness.
Jin Shihao couldn't get up this time, so he simply sat on the ground and pointed at Liu Cheng's nose and said loudly:
"You dare to hit me? Why are you hitting me? Although we are nominally the second brigade of the guerrillas, what have you done to us? What about grain? We haven't had a full meal in these days! ”
Liu Cheng looked down at him, and the expression on his face gradually became hideous.
Jin Shihao met Liu Cheng's gaze and looked at him fearlessly.
Liu Cheng squatted down in front of him and said word by word:
"Regardless of you? Tell me, who gave me these guns they pointed at me? Who gave you this padded jacket you were wearing?! No food, do we have fucking food? Which team didn't eat the last meal and didn't eat the next meal?! ”
Jin Shihao didn't speak, just looked at Liu Cheng with his neck stalked.
Liu Cheng glared angrily at Jin Shihao's face full of resentment, and continued:
"After you led the team here, you basically cut off the connection with the headquarters soon after, acted in a disorderly manner, and passively carried out the orders of your superiors, you said to yourself, what should I do with you?"
Jin Shihao stood up, knocked off the soil on his body, and said with an indifferent face:
"Dispose of me? What do you do with me? Go back and tell Zhang Guanyi that from today onwards, we will stop doing it! If we don't follow you, we will fight devils like you! ”
Liu Cheng smiled when he heard this, but everyone present saw the desolation behind that smile.
He turned around, looked at the men who were still holding guns at him, and said in a calm voice:
"That's what you all think?"
Those people looked at each other, and some slowly put down their guns and lowered their heads guiltily.
Liu Cheng turned his head to Tian Liuwa and said:
"Tie him up and take him back for the commissar to deal with."
Tian Liuwa had already wanted to do it, and immediately rushed over when she heard the words.
Jin Shihao was just about to resist, Tian Liuwa raised his hand and punched him in the stomach, and Jin Shihao's body suddenly arched like a prawn.
A few of his people wanted to come over to help, but they were all stopped by the people around them.
After a while, Liu Cheng walked up to Jin Shihao, who was tied up, and said solemnly:
"Being a soldier and fighting is not a child's house, if everyone is like you, then I'm afraid this team will have broken up a long time ago. I don't want to say anything to you now, if you have anything to say, go and tell the commissar. ”
After speaking, Liu Chengcheng turned around and walked out of the house, standing alone in the courtyard looking up at the starry sky, and did not move for a long time.
After such a wretched battle, Liu Cheng felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Indeed, in the hearts of people like Jin Shihao, what he said would only make him feel unreasonable, and even think that the party system was unreasonable.
Liu Cheng did not have the slightest sense of looking down on the peasants, but their thinking was indeed too backward and too egotistical.
The first thing that a soldier should do is absolute obedience.
Without strict discipline as the foundation, once a war starts, unexpected changes will occur at any time.
Tactical skills can be trained, and combat consciousness can be cultivated, but ideological education is not Liu Cheng's strong point.
In his previous life, he had always been a little reluctant to do ideological work, and once felt that fighting a war was the most important thing.
It wasn't until he got older that he began to get in touch with the Internet, and he often saw that there were always some people above who complained that the Red Party of the year would only do ideological work for people, and shouted slogans at every turn, but when he started a war, he would only run all over the mountain.
At this time, he really realized why ideological work was so important at that time.
At that time, most of the people who were willing to join the guerrillas were poor people, and they were forced by devils to resist when they had no way out.
That is, in their hearts, there is no such words as "state", "revolution", "truth" and so on.
If we do not strengthen ideological education for them and transform their thinking step by step, they will inevitably make mistakes when they encounter some things.
And once there is a mistake, the damage caused is only blood and lives, and there is no way to make up for it!
