In the face of war, whoever has the softest heart will die the fastest; Whoever has the softest means will lose the most.

The phrase "I would rather kill by mistake than let go" has been the motto of those in power since ancient times, but when that person said it, he was scolded through the ages.

But who has carefully experienced the helplessness behind this sentence?

Regardless of who said this sentence, let's just talk about the truth.

Whether it was in the feudal dynasty or in the 14-year-long War of Resistance Against Japan, if everything had to be investigated clearly and the evidence was conclusive before finding a way to deal with it, and then deciding whether to kill or stay, how many soldiers would die in vain?

Everyone has only one life, and there is no distinction between the most important and the most important, so why can some people use the banner of "disadvantaged" and play the sad card to win sympathy?

When Wang Jiantang in Anxian County, Sichuan Province abandoned his pen and joined Rong, his old father sent him a "death flag" from his hometown, telling him to "wipe blood when he is injured and wrap himself after death".

In times of peace, many people put words such as "helpless", "pain" and "struggle" on their lips all day long to show the unsatisfactory life.

But compared to the soldiers who died on the battlefield back then, they are a fart?!

There are too many keyboard warriors in today's society, clamoring all day long about "the injustice of heaven, the injustice of the country, and the injustice of society", and when they have time, they move their fingers and attack the revolutionary martyrs with the little poor ink in their stomachs.

said that this is too vegetable, that is too soft, if I was born in that era, it must be how it would be.

Every time I see this, I just want to say one thing to them:

No matter what era you live in, you are a piece of, and you don't even have the role of fertilizer when you go up to the ground, which is a waste of resources on the earth!

Murderers, hateful; Those who insult the martyrs should be killed!

In the Northeast at that time, it was very difficult to pull up a team; It is even more difficult to develop and grow the team.

There are a total of 11 armies in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, with nearly 40,000 people at the peak, which is a recorded figure.

However, according to the statistics of the Japanese puppet organs, from 1935 to 1940, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Wing fought more than 100,000 battles against Japan, annihilated more than 180,000 Japanese puppet troops, and contained hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

Such a result can be achieved by 40,000 people?

Not to mention the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, which lacks food and clothing, backward equipment, and scarce ammunition, even if it throws the elite 40,000 people of the fruit army in the northeast, it will definitely not be able to do it!

"At its peak, almost 40,000 people", this is not a statistic, but a monument!

This shows that in every battle, the casualties paid by the anti-Japanese troops in the northeast were much higher than those of the Japanese puppet army.

According to Japan's incomplete statistics after the war, more than 460,000 Chinese soldiers were killed in the northeast!

Such a casualty base led to the fact that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation had less than 40,000 people at its peak, and he didn't only have 40,000 people fighting against Japan!

Today's independent battalion can only barely be regarded as a "hard bone", but only for Nomura Toshio.

But in the eyes of the Japanese military department, there was no real threat at all.

If the Japanese side really wants to completely get rid of the independent battalion, it will be effortless.

There is not even an army, let alone positional warfare, as long as a few planes and a dozen cannons, and after an hour, Wudou Township and the independent battalion will all be gone.

The reason why Liu Cheng did not plan any major actions after occupying Wudou Township was that he did not want to attract the attention of the Japanese military department.

Because he knew very well in his heart that only by further strengthening the independent battalion, entering the Central Plains battlefield after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, and cooperating with many anti-Japanese teams, could the role of the independent battalion be brought into greater play.

And the impulsive and radical can only push this newly developed team to the cusp, and then completely die.

Tian Liuwa knew this very well in his heart, so he had to avoid fighting as much as possible, especially not letting the Japanese find out the deployment of Wudou Township.

Even if someone dies in vain, he must do it!

Xinjing, the residence of Arsa.

Sato Ling came to Arsa this time, in fact, for the chicken bowl cup.

The reason why Arsa brought the chicken bowl cup when he came to Xinjing was not because he could predict its value, but because he simply liked it.

Generally speaking, even if it is a prince, he may not be able to use this Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, but an imitation of the period of this dynasty.

Arsa had drunk this one when his father was still alive, and he was happy to drink it before a banquet, so he poured the cup he used to drink and gave it to Arsa, and this cup naturally could not be returned.

Now Arsa dares to offer such a price for this chicken bowl cup, in fact, it is only because it is an object of the Ming Dynasty, more than 400 years ago.

In Sato's eyes, everything in the mansion in Arsa is already in his pocket, even if it is a tile, he doesn't want to fall into the hands of others.

When he heard that Arsa wanted to sell one of his things to others, he immediately couldn't sit still.

He knew in his heart that the reason why Arsa wanted to sell to someone else was because the price he gave was too low.

And he didn't know exactly what it was, or who Artha wanted to sell it to.

If he knew that Arsa was trying to sell something to Finn, it wouldn't have been a Japanese ronin who came with him this time.

This time, Sato actually came to "remind" Arsa, to make him understand the current situation and the consequences of not "cooperating" with him.

With those two Japanese ronin, he wanted to deter and warn Arsa not to try to sell anything to anyone else.

In Sato's opinion, it was already a great gift that he could still pay to "buy" things from Arsa, and if it weren't for the puppet's face, he wouldn't need to take the money at all.

But he didn't expect that Liu Cheng would ruin his good deeds.

However, Sato did not have a grudge against Liu Cheng, the reason was that Liu Cheng said at the end, "Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others".

From this sentence, Sato Ling clearly realized a problem, that is, Liu Cheng was not a guard loyal to Arsa, but a temporary "bodyguard" hired by Arsa.

After sitting down, the two chatted a few words, and Sato Ling said straight to the point:

"Mr. Arsa, you and I must be very good friends, right?"

Arsa smiled and nodded:

"Of course, Mr. Sato is my best friend in Shinkyo, and if it weren't for your help all the time, I wouldn't have my current yard."

Although Sato Ling said kind words in his mouth, there was an expression of "it's good if you know" on his face:

"You're too polite, since you regard me as a good friend, then I have something to ask for, I wonder if you can agree?"

Arsa's heart moved, but his face did not show it at all:

"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"

Sato Ling waved his hand slightly:

"It's not that serious, but I've just seen the skills of your guards, and I wonder if you can lend them to me.

As you know, anti-Japanese forces have appeared in various places one after another, and although they have not yet been found in the new capital, there is still a certain risk after all, and I want to find a few skilled people to protect my safety. ”

When Arsa heard this, his face immediately showed embarrassment:

"Well...... Mr. Sato, I'm afraid you don't know that in our Qing Dynasty, the palace guard is an official position of the fourth grade......"

Sato knew that Arta didn't want to agree to him.

Zheng Sipin, if it was placed a few decades ago, before they were driven out of the Forbidden City, this official position was indeed not small.

Since coming to Xinjing, Sato has dealt with the old Manchu ministers and the so-called imperial nobles who dreamed of recovering the country, and has a certain understanding of their official ranks.

But now, not to mention the fourth grade, even if it is a first-rank officer, when you see the lowest-ranking Japanese second lieutenant, isn't it still a "Taijun" shouting?

In fact, according to Arsa's original idea, he wished that Liu Cheng and the three of them would hurry up and leave his mansion as soon as possible.

But just after watching Liu Cheng and Gao Yuan fight with those two Japanese ronins, he changed his mind a little.

Arsa's fear of the Japanese was real, and it was also true that he wanted to get rid of the Japanese control.

Liu Cheng and Gao Yuan's performance just now made him seem to see a glimmer of hope.

Sato Ling naturally found that Arsa was a little abnormal today, but he didn't break it directly, but changed the topic:

"Mr. Arta, I heard that you have something you want to sell recently?"

This seemingly ordinary sentence seemed to detonate a bomb in Arsa's heart.

He had never met Finn, and when he wanted to sell the chicken bowl cup in his hand to Finn, someone was in the middle of the conversation.

And this matter, not even a dozen or so subordinates in his house knew, so how did Sato know about it?

Arsa suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and even his expression froze.

From his reaction, Sato had already understood everything, and he didn't need any words at all.

A person like Arsa, who has almost zero mental endurance, wants to play tricks in front of the people he is afraid of, and he is completely looking for death.

It's like an animal in nature, without the ability to confuse natural enemies, it can only quietly wait for the species to perish.

In an environment where life is in danger at all times, whether it is foraging, drinking, resting and breeding, species that do not have the ability to protect themselves cannot survive at all.

Arsa is such a creature.

With just one sentence, Sato broke all his defenses, and even his body began to tremble slightly involuntarily, with only one thought in his heart:

"It's over, he knows everything!"
