(Demon Shao: Today is still two chapters, the second chapter, distributed at three o'clock in the afternoon, thank you for your votes, I hope to continue to support the demon Shao.)

The major nodded slightly, and made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, and the metal box, which they had carefully carried over, and which was obviously not light, was opened, and the major bent down and took something out of the box, and there was a "bang", "bang" sound from the box. Seeing that the major seemed to be about to hand over something to himself, Ma Lan subconsciously stretched out his hand.

A stack of hard, heavy things was handed to Ma Lan's hand, and Ma Lan looked down and saw a stack of silver rounds, shining a little bit in the moonlight. What this major handed to Ma Lan turned out to be a full ten silver dollars!

Several soldiers brought by the major, led by a lieutenant, had already touched the position and handed out silver dollars according to the heads. Ma Lan, the company commander, received ten oceans, and the surviving Tie Bi under her command, as a platoon commander, received five oceans, and the others, whether they were squad leaders or ordinary soldiers, received two oceans.

"Hold on well, and I'll come back tomorrow to give you a bounty."

Listening to the major's kind encouragement, casually fiddling with the ten silver yuan in his hand, making a light "clanging" sound, the corners of Ma Lan's mouth couldn't help but raise a bitter smile with a little helplessness. At present, in addition to the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy, even some units affiliated with the Central Military Academy can only receive half of their salaries, and this is quite a pleasure to pay for their lives on the battlefield. But...... The life of the eldest lady of the Ma family is not something that can be bought for just ten oceans, right?

They fought fiercely for a day, and the supply team they were looking forward to brought them was a silver dollar that was cold and cold, and could not be eaten or loaded into the enemy's chest with a machine gun. The whole company has already lost two-thirds of its soldiers, and there is no weapons and ammunition left, Ma Lan really can't imagine what they will use to defend tomorrow!

The major didn't need to ask to know Ma Lan's situation, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "You also know our current situation, the supply line is constantly bombed by my own planes, hundreds of thousands of troops have been invested, the battle line has been stretched for so long, and it has been fought for so long, and the top is almost unbearable." There is a shortage of food, ammunition and medicine everywhere, but we are also clever women who have no rice to cook! Some of the troops who first entered Shanghai now have no place to change their shoes when they are worn out, and the soldiers can only go barefoot or simply peel them from the feet of the dead, and the commanders of those troops can only send people to take these silver dollars to the city or even outside the city to collect food from the hands of the common people. Ten people were sent out, but often only three or four came back in the end, and the others did not know whether they ran away as deserters, or were caught or killed by themselves......"

Malan knew that the major was telling the truth, and in the space of two months, she had gone all over the world single-handedly, and she had already seen with her own eyes many things that she had not seen before, and could not even imagine.

Until now, the front-line troops have not been able to get food, no ammunition, no medicine, no clothing supplies, and even if they have raised food today, for the sake of tomorrow, in order to persist on the battlefield, they only dare to give the soldiers a rice ball without oil and salt at every meal.

It was the wounded soldiers who could not be lifted off the line of fire, let alone treated. Not to mention the battlefield first-aid equipment, the troops on the firing line now do not even have the most basic medical alcohol. The lightly wounded soldier was better, put the salt in the water to turn it off, and then used this salt water to clean the wound, although the pain made the whole body tremble and sweat like rain, but finally saved a life.

But those soldiers who were seriously wounded could only lie in the trenches in despair, quietly feeling the bullets or shrapnel that burrowed into their bodies, causing the wounds to slowly become infected. In the evening, the two sides finally died down, and there was no more heavy artillery fire, and the painful groans of the wounded soldiers continued to float over the entire position. I don't know how many wounded soldiers, unable to bear the pain of despair, grabbed their rifles and pulled the trigger on themselves.

The worst of all were the seriously wounded who had no power to even grab their weapons and kill themselves, and even Malan herself couldn't remember how many words she had heard when she passed through those positions at night......

"Please, help me, give me a shot!"

In the face of the brothers who used to get along day and night, in the face of these comrades-in-arms who fought side by side on the battlefield but are now seriously injured and dying, and can only let out a helpless wail like small animals, even if they are iron-blooded soldiers, how many people can be ruthless and raise the weapons in their hands?!

Carrying the heavy stack of silver dollars in his hand, Malan finally put them back into the major's hand.

"It's useless for me to take the money, if I can, when the war of resistance is won, use them to build a monument for us."

At this time, Ma Lan smiled, she stared at the distant Chinese land that had been occupied by the Japanese army, her eyes shining in the darkness, as if she had seen the future tomorrow through the layers of historical fog. She said softly: "This monument does not need to be built very high, as long as our descendants, when passing by it, know that in this city called Shanghai, in order to protect the family and defend the country, there was such a tragic battle, hundreds of thousands of brothers have been killed; This monument does not need to be built very gorgeously, as long as there is a place where those brothers who lie under the nine springs, when they occasionally reopen their eyes, can be clearly sure that their blood, their sweat, their tears, have not been shed in vain, they have left an eternal page in history, and they will also fall into a long sleep again with a smile; The words on this monument do not need to be written much, only four words are enough. I only hope that our descendants, when they see this monument, will remember it firmly...... Don't forget the national shame! ”

The major, who was constantly at the forefront of the war, had long been accustomed to life and death, and thought that he had learned to ignore everything, his body involuntarily shook violently. With his eyes of disbelief, he looked at the female soldier in front of him who had too many thoughts, too many dreams, and too much pride and hope. At this time, she was like the goddess Athena who gathered war and wisdom, and her whole body exuded a beauty that was brilliant to the limit of the universe.

At this time, he looked at this female soldier in his eyes, in addition to respect, he was still respectful!

"If you build a monument, count me in."

Tie Bi didn't know when, he had already walked to their side, and he stretched out his big hand and put his five silver dollars into the palm of the major's hand.

The bonuses sent out were returned to the Major's hands piece by piece, and in the end the Major had to use two hands to hold these heavy silver dollars. At this time, the Major's hands trembled slightly because he could not bear such a heavy weight, he inhaled softly, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone on this battlefield, and after a long, long time, he said softly: "Good! ”
