Chapter Seventy-Five: High-Ranking Officials and Refugees
On the dock, there was still a sea of people, with their necks stretched out, looking forward to the arrival of a new ship.
A group of people approached the wharf in the direction of the wharf in the midst of a sea of anxious and panicked refugees, forming a simple line of defense with horses and barbed wire, and officers and soldiers with loaded guns were on duty, not allowing anyone to approach.
Among the officers and soldiers, there was a group of people who were very different from the refugees, their men were dressed neatly, and the women were wearing gorgeous robes and shiny gemstone ornaments, looking at the poor refugees around them, their eyes were full of disgust and high-mindedness.
They don't look like they're fleeing, but they look like they're traveling with their families, and it's clear that they're the officials and their families who have been evacuated from the area.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, let my children get on the boat with you, please, please......"
"Sir, take us with you, you can't let us wait here for death......"
The refugees crowded outside the rejection, crying and pleading, but the officers and soldiers had cold eyes, but whenever anyone tried to squeeze in, they would wave the butts of their guns, and the richly dressed officials and ladies turned a deaf ear to these cries of pleading.
Either because they really don't care about themselves, or maybe they don't care about anyone at all, only themselves.
"Damn, why hasn't this ship arrived yet!"
A middle-aged man with a big belly raised his wrist to look at his watch, pacing back and forth anxiously and yelling.
"It's almost time, this is a special ship specially left for you by the government, there are a lot of people to pick up along the way, and there are too many refugees, so it's about a delay!"
Hong Shanyue, the commander of the garrison battalion, said with a smile on his face: "Commissioner Chen, please rest assured, as soon as the ship arrives, I will immediately escort you on board!" ”
"What do you care about those refugees? With so many refugees, how much can you take care of? ”
Commissioner Chen snorted coldly and said, "How much have we contributed to the party-state? And how much can these refugees contribute? Now that there are devils everywhere, do we want to be happy if those of us who insist on working in the back at great risk for the country and the people are killed by devils? ”
Hong Shanyue was scolded for his blood, and he could only swallow his anger, for him, these officials have to try their best to please, as long as they leave some impressions in front of these people, they may be of great help to their career in the future.
On the other side, Lu Yuan and his party also entered the dock, looking at this crowded scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - such a messy scene, encountering any devil, but it was a massacre with no chance to resist!
Although there is no trace of a large number of devils nearby, the penetration ability of the devil squad is absolutely unparalleled in the world, and from time to time there are people in the crowd who talk about the guns fired again in that direction, and the nearby place was slaughtered and so on, it seems that devils are everywhere.
There are a lot of false rumors about these remarks, but it is certain that there must be devils around the Fenglin Ferry.
Yang Zong led the way in front with a bump, and the three girls were protected in the middle to avoid being squeezed apart, and walked through the group of refugees with difficulty, heading towards the military defense area built on the side.
"You're here!"
As soon as he saw Yang Zongman and Niu Pimple, the company commander Xu Yun, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, hurriedly asked people to open the rejection horse and let them in, his eyes looked at the entire team, and finally fell on Lu Yuan, and he saluted: "If I guessed correctly, you are Lu Yuan, right?" This time, you have a fierce face for our Sichuan army! ”
"Brother Lu, you are famous now, even Chairman Jiang praised you in the military newspaper, calling on the whole army to learn from you, learn from our Sichuan army, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and defend the country!"
"That is, when I first came out of Sichuan, those turtles looked down on our Sichuan army, and they all called us a ragtag army, Sichuan rats, and now they all call us Sichuan tigers......"
A group of veteran soldiers also gathered around, shook hands with Lu Yuan with yellow teeth, handed over some cigarettes and eggs that they didn't know where they got them, and expressed their admiration.
"Soldiers usually practice and receive salaries, and go into battle to kill the enemy in wartime, it is all right, our entire 152 regiment is killing the enemy, no one has flinched, everyone is good, I just killed more!"
Because he can finally get rid of the drag of a few women, coupled with seeing the energetic appearance of these Sichuan soldiers, Lu Yuan is a little happy, sometimes, the cult of personality, or the sense of regional honor, can also be transformed into something similar to faith, and burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.
What those historians think of him is not clear, but he has always firmly believed that the Sichuan army in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with poor equipment, but repeatedly played a magnificent battle performance, and in the battle of Shanghai, the Sichuan army soldiers set an example for the later Sichuan army.
They used their blood and lives to prove to the people of Sichuan that the people of Sichuan are all good - every single one!
Lu Yuan saw this emotion in the eyes of the Sichuan army led by Xu Yun, he was belligerent, and they were eager to prove themselves with blood!
The cigarette was picked up by Yang Zongman, and all the eggs and other food were put into the small bag on the cow pimple's body, and Wang Ma Pole and the big dog bear were wiping saliva and shouting in a low voice: "Didn't you say that the whole meat was good?" Don't think about sending us away with these eggs and biscuits - we've killed so many devils, you know! ”
Lu Yuan's old face was flushed, and he was originally treated like a hero, but as soon as these two guys spoke, they forcibly turned the hero into a hungry ghost!
"Yes, there's meat, there's meat!"
A dry smile of the veteran smiled and invited them into the barracks, where a small pot was steaming.
At the foot of the room, Luo Youcai and the two recruits were wrapped in quilts and shivering, sneezing incessantly.
"Got a cold? This body is too weak, and now there are devils in many places, how can you fight devils like this? ”
The big bear said with a big grin, unceremoniously opened the lid of the pot, there was a large pot of hot rice, and a large pot of fish soup, but the fish in it was pitiful.
"Where's the meat?"
Wang Ma Pole looked disgusted, but his hand honestly and unceremoniously took a bowl of rice and drank soup, although he did not get the big fish and meat in hope, but these are also rare delicacies for them, not to mention hot!
Yang Zong's pimples were also eager to grab food from the bowl, and in the face of food, they never knew what politeness was.
"This fish is too small!"
The monkey spirit was complaining, and put a few small fish with meat and bones in a bowl, but he didn't eat them, and served them to Su Ya softly with a flattering face: "Drink fish soup to warm up your body, drink slowly, be careful of scalding!" ”
Lao Tzu jumped into the ice water on a cold day to touch the fish for you, why are you too embarrassed? We don't have to eat ourselves, okay?
Luo Youcai and the others were about to cry with grief and indignation, sneezing and sneezing all over the ground, and those veterans looked at the few people who were eating, and they couldn't stop swallowing their saliva.
"You guys should eat too, I don't know when we will have food on the boat!"
Lu Yuan said to the remaining two women that he also took a bowl and ate it violently, he was really hungry, and he also noticed the salivating appearance of those Sichuan troops under Xu Yun, but he could only pretend not to hear it, there was not much food here, and he could also see that the other party must have spent a lot of effort to prepare these foods, and it was impossible to make a second meal of such food.
