The doctor operated on Lei Zhen three times, and removed twenty-seven grenade fragments from him, two Baishi submachine gun warheads, and a branch about two inches long, which pierced into his body at some point, and in this case, after only lying on the bed for two weeks, Lei Zhen was able to get up from the bed with his own strength, and after two months, as soon as the bandages on his body were removed, Lei Zhen had already begun to formulate his own physical recovery training plan. And listed it as a jaw-dropping training schedule and pasted it to his bedside.

From the day the plan was made, whether it was windy or rainy, thunder and hail, Lei Zhen got up on time at five o'clock in the morning every day. As he was recovering from a serious injury, he was sternly warned by the doctor, and then he got up at five o'clock in the morning every day, rain or shine, to go around the village where they lived, and to run a five-kilometer trail run.

Lei Zhen went home at six o'clock, swept away the nutritious and delicious breakfast carefully prepared by Sun Shangxiang and them, and then walked to a canvas belt five meters long and hung on the tree, grabbed such a soft thing, and climbed up and down three hundred times with the strength of his own hands.

After the strength of his hands was exhausted, he practiced the frog jump for 500 meters, and when his legs were also weak, Lei Zhen ran to the "barbed wire" position made of bamboo and hemp rope, and climbed back and forth 300 times.

At half past nine in the morning, Lei Zhen had to carry 300 stone locks, do 200 pull-ups, 500 push-ups, 300 sit-ups, 300 15-kilogram dumbbell lifts, and 300 side lifts.

After this series of training, it should be 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is time for lunch. But absolutely no one wants to have lunch with Lei Zhen, because the place where Lei Zhen lunches is a mud pit that he carefully prepares, whether it is the color, smell or touch, it will never make people feel happy!

Lying in such a foul smell, people are twenty or thirty meters away, and the Adam's apple can't help but surge up and down, and after eating lunch, Lei Zhen even has a way to simply make up a nap in such a mud pit that is slippery around and does not leave a hand.

Lei Zhen soaked in the mud pit in the most comfortable position, slept in a daze, felt flies and mosquitoes constantly swirling on his face, and simply scooped up a handful of mud from his side, wiped them directly on his face, and relied on such a layer of facial "armor" to completely block the trouble caused by flies and mosquitoes. Seeing that Lei Zhen was covered in mud, and there was a smug smile on his face that could really be called miserable, and all the onlookers felt a chill in their hearts.

At 1:30 p.m., when the sun was at its hottest, without any external force, Lei Zhen would open his eyes on time, drag his body of mud to get up, and stand directly under the sun, holding a 1.5-meter-long wooden stick with both hands and three green bricks hanging from the front end, and receiving up to two hours of anti-exposure physical training in a standing shooting posture.

No one knows what it was like for Lei Zhen to be covered in mud and let the sun shine for two hours at noon until the mud on his body was dried little by little and turned into a hard shell that clinged to his skin, making himself look like a terracotta warrior.

Of course, absolutely no one wants to know!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lei Zhen would train himself in hard qigong.

A professional soldier can only make the most violent counterattack against the enemy in the shortest time after being heavily injured on the battlefield by getting used to bearing various attacks.

First, he asked someone to use a "sand stick" more than one meter long and filled with yellow sand, about the thickness of an egg, to whip his body hard; Then ask someone to stand three meters away and throw a shot put ball weighing about two kilograms at any part of your body except your head.

And at this time, the ghost talent who was repeatedly asked by Lei Zhen to be reluctant to make it difficult had to hold an exam paper containing mathematics, geography, geometry, military, physics and other subjects, and constantly asked Lei Zhen questions.

After dinner at six o'clock, Lei Zhen would continue to run five kilometers of trail running, and if he didn't pass the exam, he would add an additional three kilometers.

After doing this series of training, the sky has already darkened, and Lei Zhen's body is of course hot and dirty, so he will go to the small river outside the village to take a bath, and by the way, he will come to the five-kilometer swimming training at night. Lei Zhen has not forgotten until now that he, an authentic mountain boy, couldn't even swim, so in order to protect Yang Huimin, he could only hold a stone and "walk" across the Suzhou River. Lei Zhen didn't mention it to anyone, and he almost suffocated to death in that river at that time!

Every five days, Lei Zhen will increase his training volume by a grade, and every five days, Lei Zhen will carry out a cross-country training of 30 kilograms and 50 kilometers, and the distance and weight of cross-country long-distance running are also increasing with the increase of regular training. Until he can do one hundred and ten push-ups per minute, carry a weight of thirty kilograms, can complete a five-kilometer cross-country run in twenty-two minutes, throw a model grenade a thousand times, and can exceed the sixty-meter mark each time.

Looking at that man is like a machine that doesn't know how to get tired, more like a humanoid monster that can break the limits of physiology, repeating the amazing training that is enough to make an ordinary person tired every day, letting the wounds on his body burst again and again, allowing himself to faint on the training ground again and again because of physical exhaustion, and everyone is silent.

Until one morning, when Lei Zhen walked out of his room with his heavy backpack on his back as usual, against the starry sky, Luo Sanpao, Rabbit, and Sun Shangxiang ...... Except for Uncle Jiu, who was over forty years old and no longer had the vigorous energy to accompany their young madness, everyone stood quietly in front of Lei Zhen's door, and each of them had changed into rubber-soled shoes that were most suitable for long-distance running, and each of them was carrying a backpack full of weight-bearing sandbags like Lei Zhen.

Looking at these brothers standing in front of him, his eyes naturally fell on the heavy backpacks behind them, and Lei Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you crazy?" ”

Everyone was nodding vigorously, if they weren't crazy, how could they be like Lei Zhen, desperately abusing themselves? If she hadn't gone crazy, how could a girl like Sun Shangxiang, who was strong but still retained her surname Aimeitian, prepare a mud pit like Lei Zhen for herself overnight?

When Lei Zhen ran on the mountain road that was still hidden in a dark and hazy place, listening to the series of powerful footsteps behind him, listening to the even breathing of those brothers who had lived and died with him on the battlefield and unknowingly, they already had a closer connection than blood, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction and security suddenly surrounded Lei Zhen.

Taking a deep breath of the autumn breeze with the chill, looking at the sky above his head that was about to usher in dawn, but it was becoming more and more dark, an irrepressible impulse rose from the bottom of his heart, like a wolf in the lonely survival in the mountains, has been accustomed to a person to face danger, facing the challenge of Lei Zhen, until this time, he finally dared to believe that he had found a like-minded partner, who would never leave until death. Lei Zhen raised his head and suddenly let out a wild howl of extreme happiness: "Then let's go crazy together!" Crazy to the end, crazy to death, crazy to his grandmother's desolate land, the moon is gone, crazy to death and never give up! ”

Everyone who followed closely behind Lei Zhen shouted loudly: "Okay! ”

Uncle Nine stood at the entrance of the village, smiling at these sweaty children, smiling at each of them, those eyes suddenly glowed and brightened, he really knew why these children were so happy.

Time, in the sweat of this group of young people, in the neat footsteps of them breaking through the darkness before dawn, slipped quietly little by little. Only these young children were left, and the smiles of more and more tacit understanding were left.

That night, when the autumn glow sprinkled between the heavens and the earth, and the breeze brought a gentle refreshment, Uncle Nine woke up, and even the time for Lei Zhen to recuperate, they had already been in this little-known but as long as Ling Weicheng's mother and son were in distress, they could rush to the southern water town within an hour, and enjoyed five months of the most precious peaceful years in the troubled times.

Five months, it's really a snap of a finger.

Xie Jinyuan has been dead for five months, and the Chinese people have held a huge memorial for this national hero, but time is undoubtedly the best painkiller, quietly treating everyone. Looking back suddenly, the death of Xie Jinyuan, a hero of the world, is just a small splash for the entire nation.

At this time, how many Chinese people know that in this world, there is still a woman like Ling Weicheng, with Xie Jinyuan's blood, surrounded by the halo of the hero's family, for himself, Ling Weicheng's mother and son have lost the value of use, and their task of protecting Ling Weicheng's mother and son, at this time, seems to be able to rely on a paragraph.

…… When Lei Zhen returned to their temporary home with a group of friends who were sweating profusely and could barely drag their bodies, they sniffed and their eyes fell on the dining table together. As usual, Uncle Nine had prepared a delicious meal for them, but the slight difference was that Uncle Nine did not sit at the table today, waiting for them with a faint smile on his face.

In the position where Uncle Jiu is used to sitting every day, there is a copy of "Central News", and on the newspaper, there is also a letter with the words "Lei Zhen personally enlightened" written on it.

Looking at everything in front of him, the first thought that came to Lei Zhen's heart was...... Uncle Nine is gone! When he opened the letter, Uncle Jiu's voice with a strong oppressive force in forbearance seemed to ring in Lei Zhen's ears again.

"Lei Zhen, as the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, I'm leaving.

Needless to say, you know, I appeared in the middle of your group of young people, saying that it was good to help you, and that it was bad was to spy on you. Although you are Xie Jinyuan's apprentice, you are too young after all, so young that we don't feel at ease, and we don't dare to entrust the best next generation in the gang to you.

These children are of course excellent, and in fact, to be recognized as a thorn, they must have talents and advantages that far surpass their peers in order to be recognized and accepted by their surroundings. However, it is also because these children are too good, too distinctive, so strong that they don't know how to cooperate with others, let alone how to integrate into a team. They are like a group of people who want to lean together and snuggle up to each other for warmth in winter, but they always inadvertently sting each other and hurting each other, so they can only keep their distance and shiver in the cold.

Lei Zhen, if the combat skills and command skills you displayed on the way to escort Ling Weicheng's mother and son have impressed me, a half-old man, then you have led everyone in this village by example and made them willingly accept your training, which is enough to win my respect. When I look at you, let the children take turns to climb to the big tree five or six meters above the ground, tie their hands and lie backwards, and then they will be caught by their companions who are already standing under the tree with both hands...... At that time, my heart was shocked and shocked! Only an old man like me can understand that their hands are tied, the whole person is lying backwards, and they have lost any ability to struggle or protect themselves, and all they have left is to believe in their companions! You are teaching these children in your own way, making them slowly become tacit and making them look more and more like an army.

At this time, I can really leave with a smile, these children follow you, I can rest assured! In my heart, I have a hunch that they can make a greater achievement and break out of a broader sky by following you! Originally, I wanted to say goodbye to you in person, but I thought that since I was worried about you, I slowly eliminated it in the acquaintance of each other. So I am only left with appreciation and recognition, should I also quietly disappear and use this way to express a kind of recognition for you?

And I'm really old, so old that I don't like to see parting anymore, and I don't want to look at the young faces of those children, and I can't help but think in my heart, who else can live to reappear in front of me. So, let's smile in each other's hearts, raise our hands, and bless each other.

By the way, Zhang Cheng's ashes will be brought back by me and handed over to his father. I will tell the fifth brother in person that his son is a hero, a hero who died on the battlefield in the face of a strong enemy, even if he shed the last drop of blood on his body, he did not fall, let alone be ashamed! has such a hero's son, even if the fifth brother cries, he will have a smile in his tears. ”

Uncle Nine's letter, which was written for three pages, was finally finished, Lei Zhen really didn't know that under Uncle Nine's serious face, there was such a delicate heart hidden.

And at this time, with a casual smile on his face at first, he grabbed the ghost talent who casually picked up the report and read it, but his hands were trembling slightly.

"Division...... Father! ”

The ghost wanted to tell Lei Zhen what was written in the newspaper and what was happening outside while they were living in isolation, but when he opened his mouth, this eight-faced guy realized that even his voice was trembling.

And Luo Sanpao, who was sitting next to the ghost, turned his head halfway, and read the newspaper with the ghost, he was already crazy. He just looked at the newspaper stupidly, reading every word and sentence on it stupidly, and stupidly let two thin tears pass across his face, and a big, proud, happy and sad smile rose from his face.

"Attack, attack, we're finally going to take the initiative! If the enemy pushes us to take a step forward, we will take a step back, and we will not resist until we are forced to the ground by others. If we don't actively prepare for war, don't fight to the death-for-tat, and face an enemy who is already stronger than us and more ruthless than us, can we not lose? We have lost one war after another, we have lost one city after another, we have lost without shame to see the Jiangdong fathers, and we have already become historical sinners if we lost! But now...... We're finally going to take the initiative! Not a counterattack, but an offense! Offensive! Offensive! Did you all hear clearly, it's an attack, a big attack led by us!! ”

Luo Sanpao's voice was also trembling, this man who was already in his thirties and had already been in the sea, and he was used to seeing life and death with his own eyes, at this time he looked really crying and laughing, and he was really hanging himself on a horse. But he could at least read the headline on the front page of the newspaper in the loudest voice: "If you have to go on an expedition to a foreign land, you will be rewarded for the boy's will." It was rumored in the army that he was about to go on an expedition abroad, and General Dai Anlan was overjoyed and thirsty for talent! ”

Go on an expedition abroad!

These words are really like the brightest lightning in the dark night, slashing through everyone's heart.

It is now the autumn of 1941, and in order to establish the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," the military is intensively strengthening its naval strength and actively planning an attack on the South Pacific region, and a world war with the Pacific Ocean as the stage is on the verge of breaking out.

By this time, it was no longer an enemy of China, and Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Burma were all facing the storm before the outbreak of the war. Myanmar, which borders China's Yunnan province, is on the periphery of China's southwestern defense line, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway built through Myanmar is the only land passage for China to receive material support from the United States-led countries. It is through the main artery of the Diandian Highway that 36,000 tons of war materials are continuously transported to China every month, which strongly supports China's war of resistance. So that China can drag down 80 percent of its army strength on its own land.

If they wanted to defeat China in a short period of time, force the Kuomintang political axe to submit, and thus draw out the forces they had already invested in the South Pacific theater, they would have to occupy Burma and cut off the Diandian Highway, the main artery to aid China!

In order to defend the Diandian Highway, the 200th Division of the National Revolutionary Army led by General Dai Anlan was transferred to the Anshun and Qujing areas of Guizhou Province at the beginning of 41 years.

By this time, it had already been widely rumored in the army that General Dai Anlan would lead 200 divisions into Burma as the vanguard force, and by joining forces with the British [***] team stationed in Burma, they would repel the possible invasion of the army and ensure the smooth flow of the Dian Road.

If...... What is written in the newspapers is true.

If...... The National Revolutionary Army will really go on an expedition to a foreign land and take the initiative to attack a strong enemy who has invaded our territory.

So...... This is the first exotic expedition in China's modern history full of humiliation! This is the most powerful attack that the [***] team has taken the initiative to make in the face of step-by-step pressing, arrogance and arrogance!

How can soldiers who have not experienced this humiliating era, who have not tasted the weakness and concessions again and again, and who have broken the hearts and feelings of the people, understand the huge difference between these two words?

Uncle Nine even used a pencil to draw a heavy circle on the last word of the news slogan "It is rumored in the army that he is about to go abroad for an expedition, General Dai Anlan is overjoyed and eager to seek talents". Probably because of this newspaper that was just printed two days ago, Uncle Nine made up his mind to quietly retire, right?

"Thunder Quake!" Luo Sanpao's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted violently: "If I remember correctly, your master, Regiment Leader Xie Jinyuan, should have given you a letter of recommendation to General Dai Anlan, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Luo Sanpao stared at the man in front of him who was more than ten years younger than himself, but his expression was faintly like a general, more calm and powerful like a mountain, he took a deep breath, until his whole person barely regained his composure again, until his breathing was no longer so rapid, until he was sober enough to think and persuade others, he said word by word: "Lei Zhen, if you can lead me to catch up with this war, Luo Sanpao's life...... Take it! ”
