Chapter Twenty-Three: Heroes (Part II)
Battalion Commander Qiu Qilou silently walked in front of Ma Lan, looking at the dried blood on Ma Lan's face, now that the blood has dried up and shrunk, her face must be as uncomfortable as wearing a rubber mask that is too tight, right?
Qiu Qilou shouted softly: "Ma Lan! ”
Ma Lan still sat there in a daze, as if there was nothing left in her body that was left with the instinct and urge to kill, and nothing else.
Qiu Qilou took a deep breath, and he suddenly shouted, "Stand up!" ”
"Whoa......
With the order of the battalion commander Qiu Qilou, under the absolute impossibility of it, Ma Lan really ...... from among a pile of guns and bullet casings Jump up!
"Salute!"
Qiu Qilou shouted violently, his right hand slashed towards the brim of his hat, and almost at the same time, Ma Lan's right hand was also unconscious, making a standard military salute to the commander in front of him.
Qiu Qilou took the cabbage and pork stuffed bun in the old lady's hand, handed it to Ma Lan, and shouted: "Eat!" ”
After receiving the order, Ma Lan bowed her head and ate without saying a word, and in a blink of an eye, the cabbage and pork stuffed bun disappeared from her hand. The old aunt standing beside Qiu Qilou showed a look of joy in her eyes, as long as she can still eat, this girl can still be saved!
The old lady quickly opened an aluminum box for rice, poured out a bowl of soup from it, handed it to Qiu Qilou, and made a gesture of "please drink her" to Ma Lan.
An aluminum bowl was delivered to Ma Lan, and Qiu Qilou's order was still as simple and effective: "Drink!" ”
The thick, hot soup poured into Ma Lan's mouth, fragrant, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness, as soon as it rushed into the stomach, it raised a warm heat, this turned out to be a bowl of ginseng soup that had been stewed for an unknown amount of time.
When the first sip of ginseng soup was drunk into the stomach, Ma Lan's movements slowed down significantly, she drank slowly, slowly savoring the warmth and bitter and sweet taste in this soup, and slowly tasting the taste of being alive.
After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, a trace of blood appeared on Ma Lan's pale face, and her dull eyes finally became a little angry because of this bowl of ginseng soup.
Looking at the scarred Ma Lan, looking at the second-class Iron Cross that the German special forces instructor put on her chest, Qiu Qilou At this time, he really wanted to slap Ma Lan a few times, to teach this bastard who acted without obeying orders and completely wiped out the entire company; But looking at Ma Lan, who was standing there lonely, still proudly puffing up her chest, and looking at the blood-stained and even more murderous emperor-given saber in her hand, Qiu Qilou wanted to hold Ma Lan into his arms even more, and use his warm and generous chest to smooth the coldness on Ma Lan's body little by little.
But Qiu Qilou couldn't do anything, he was silent for a long time before he slowly said a sentence: "Retreat, your task is complete!" ”
"Retreat?"
Hearing this absolutely unexpected order, looking at the dozen or so fully armed soldiers behind Qiu Qilou, Ma Lan tried to open her eyes wide, her eyes were patrolling around, and she asked stupidly, "Are our reinforcements coming?" So which unit should I transfer my position to?! ”
"There will be no more reinforcements, and there will be no need to send troops to garrison here!"
Facing Ma Lan's sluggish and childlike eyes, Qiu Qilou turned his head sideways, at this time, he really couldn't bear to look at Ma Lan again, and then face her.
Qiu Qilou's eyes raised a strange fluctuation, and he said softly: "Four days ago, the 3rd, 13th, and 101st divisions of the Yue Army were concentrated, and with the support of bombers and heavy artillery, launched a continuous onslaught on our 21st Group Army, breaking through the defenders' positions between Miaohang and Chenjiahang, and capturing Miaohang and Dachang. The hundreds of thousands of central troops on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek were under attack, and they had already received orders to abandon the North Station and Jiangwan positions and move strategically to the south bank of the Suzhou Creek. ”
Strategic shift?!
The transfer of hundreds of thousands of Central Army, the abandonment of the North Station and Jiangwan positions...... Putting aside all the literal meanings, putting aside the flashy rhetoric and disguise, to put it bluntly, after fighting bloodily with the Yue army for nearly three months and paying the price of more than 200,000 brothers, the Chinese [***] team was still defeated!
It was a complete defeat, a fiasco!
With the withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of central troops from the battlefield in the north of the box, they have lost at least one-third of the territorial control of the beautiful city of Shanghai! With the loss of the battlefield in the north of the box, the army can already form an encirclement of the whole of Shanghai, and they have completely failed in this great battle that has invested millions of troops!
Ma Lan stood there in a daze, she was trying to digest the information that Qiu Qilou brought her, and suddenly a crazy smile rose from Ma Lan's face, and suddenly she burst into tears again, and suddenly her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Hahaha......"
Crazy laughter suddenly tore through the battlefield that had been silent for several hours, and Ma Lan stretched out her hand to point to the land soaked in the blood of her brothers, and pointed to the brother who still retained their heroic appearance and was worthy of the soldier's vocation, and she laughed wildly.
It was only at this time that Ma Lan knew why they were able to hold this position for four days after losing two-thirds of their troops on the first day!
It was only at this time that Ma Lan knew why such a company of theirs was guarding this axis battlefield without reinforcements and logistical supplies for four days; It was only at this time that Ma Lan knew why this axis position seemed to have been completely forgotten, and let their group of soldiers who thought they were guarding here become real outcasts!
It turned out that this axis battlefield, this defensive line that must not be lost, lost its real strategic significance four days ago, and became an insignificant piece of chicken ribs in the entire grand strategy!
If she was not leading a soldier from the special service battalion of the Central Military Academy's teaching corps, if she didn't have a good boss like Qiu Qilou, who would care about the life and death of such a small company as they were in this kind of general battle where millions of troops were invested and tens of thousands of people died every day?
At this time, Ma Lan remembered that she used a machine gun to force back the company commander on this mortal battlefield, thought of his desperate and crazy face, and thought of the tears that drifted in the wind.
Malan remembered his brother who had been flesh and blood four days ago, able to speak loudly, and able to laugh loudly. When the country needed the army, she led her brothers and rushed to the forefront of the battlefield without hesitation.
But it wasn't until this time that she knew that what they had tried to defend was already a "strategic place" that no longer had much meaning, and it turned out that their self-defeating army, which had stupidly given up safely withdrawing from the battlefield and rushed to the forefront of the battlefield, had become the most pathetic and pitiful abandoned pawns who could only fend for themselves! What's the point of them desperately sticking to an abandoned battlefield like this?!
"Bang!"
At this time, Ma Lan could no longer support her overly heavy body, and she involuntarily weakened her knees and fell heavily on the ground. Ma Lan, a soldier who was bleeding and sweating on the battlefield but did not shed a single tear, finally couldn't help crying loudly.
"It's me, it's me who brought my brothers into this battlefield, I thought we would die as we deserved; Even if it is death, it can be heavier than Mount Tai, and death has its own value, but ......"
Malan reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and she threw out the dirt containing too much shrapnel and blood in her hand with all her might, and she hissed and cried, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Brothers, I'm sorry for you! How am I so stupid, how am I so stupid......"
Qiu Qilou walked to Ma Lan's side, and he looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground with complicated eyes. Since she entered the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy, no matter what she faced, she didn't bend her waist, she didn't cry, she just used her own strength to break out of her own world in a world where the strong are respected!
But now she is crying, she is crying hoarsely, she is crying for her brother, she is crying for the beautiful city of Shanghai, she is crying for the 250,000 brothers who have been sleeping in this land, she is crying for the more unpredictable future of China!
Reaching out and gently stroking Ma Lan's shoulder, Qiu Qilou said softly: "Ma Lan, do you really think that what you are doing is a stupid and stupid thing?" Listen, prick up your ears and listen, they are cheering for you! ”
"Hero! Hero! Hero! Hero! Hero ......"
Behind Ma Lan, those Shanghai citizens who risked their lives to deliver food to the battlefield were cheering at Ma Lan, when Ma Lan slowly turned his head with tears on his face, facing this female soldier who had shed blood and sweat on the battlefield but had not shed a single tear, and in the face of this big girl who was crying desperately and crying sadly, the stormy applause suddenly rang out.
There were fanatical cheers everywhere, as if the Chinese [***] team had won the final victory in this battle to defend the homeland and expel the invaders from their homeland. In their eyes, Ma Lan and the soldiers she led are a group of heroes who walk on the road of triumph and accept the cheers of all the people!
"Yes, what you led the whole company to defend with your life is indeed a position that has lost strategic significance."
Qiu Qilou looked at the Shanghai citizens who were standing on the position in front of him, but straightened his body, roared loudly, shouted hard, and almost slapped their hands, and said softly: "But if you look carefully, you listen carefully, you have proved yourself with your own practical actions, and you have won real respect." Ma Lan, I thank you for winning the hearts and minds of the people that we have lost for our army in the long decade due to constant retreat and continuous forbearance! If I have to make an evaluation of this battle that you decided on your own, it is that there are merits and faults, and the merits outweigh the faults! ”
