Chapter 33: Knocking

When Chen Yunfeng woke up and lay on the kang before the rooster crowed, a small army of 40 people was quietly approaching this small mountain village, and fortunately Zhao Zhi specially marked Tang Lei on the map, otherwise they really couldn't find this village. This place is too remote, and there are ditches and bumps everywhere, and several times Tang Lei and they were blocked by those deep ditches, and they had to go back and find their way again.

"I'm tired, next time I have such a mission, I won't come to kill me"

"That's it, Tang Tou, when we go back, you go to Mr. and tell me, is it time to give the brothers a vacation, a few brothers with families are a little bit of a daughter-in-law" The hippie smiling old sheepskin looked at Tang Lei with a look of hope, these guys said that they were tired, but looking at their looks, it would not be a problem to walk dozens of miles.

"Old Bark, I think you want a woman" It seems that the excuse of Old Bark was seen through, and several mercenaries around laughed and scolded. Sun Jin, who was also sitting on the stone resting, shook his head slightly, these subordinates of Zhao Zhi are good at everything, but on the issue of women, they are too different from their Eighth Route Army. Whether it is the Jewish Legion or the mercenary army, as long as it is not strong, it does not affect their mission, Zhao Zhi never forbids them to find women, even if they take the money to visit the kiln, Zhao Zhi just didn't see it.

"What? You don't look down on these brothers of mine? Sun Jin's shaking of his head was disdainful of being looked at by Tang Lei, like Zhao Zhi, Tang Lei is also very protective. Because he knows that whether he can survive on the battlefield depends not only on the weapons in his hands, but also on these brothers around him, without them, he can't do anything alone.

Sun Jin, who was caught in the bag, shook his head a little embarrassedly, "No, I just don't dare to agree with some of Mr. Zhao's tolerance for you, such as women"

Sun Jin also wanted to tell Tang Lei some about the military regulations of the Eighth Route Army and their ideas for the country and the people, but Tang Lei didn't want to listen to it at all, in his opinion, although his own husband did not belong to any party camp, but his own husband also fought the Japanese, not to mention who killed more Japanese compared with the Eighth Route Army, at least Tang Lei thought that it was very pleasant to fight with his own husband. And the brothers in the mercenary unit will not look down on themselves because they have been prisoners of the Japanese army, the internal review of ***, Tang Lei also heard some from Zhang Lan, he really can't think of what it would be like if he was locked up in a small black room by his own people.

"Mr. said that if you kill too many people on the battlefield, there will be a distorted character in people's hearts, and after a long time, there will be problems with people's spirits, and proper relaxation will be a good way to alleviate this psychology, besides, my brothers go out to find women, they never use force, they are all voluntary, this is called fair trade" Tang Lei looked at Sun Jin with some pity, don't even think about finding women in the troops of the Eighth Route Army, I heard that those female students who went to Yan'an from the occupied area have long been married home by senior cadres of ***, I'm afraid that a low-level officer like Sun Jin hasn't even touched the hand of a female student, right?

Sun Jin couldn't refute Tang Lei's words, people were just relaying Zhao Zhi's words, although Tang Lei could only express a general meaning, but Sun Jin had already understood. Sun Jin joined the Eighth Route Army at the beginning, only because the village was slaughtered by the Japanese army, he wanted to avenge the villagers, and he only got his first gun after joining the army for half a year, and the bullets were only 5 rounds. Just these 5 bullets allowed Sun Jin to survive two battles, the provocation in Tang Lei's words, Sun Jin didn't hear it, to be honest, Zhao Zhi's benefits to his subordinates are indeed good, and Sun Jin is indeed a little jealous.

"Lao Sun, don't think my brother and I speak ugly, your Eighth Route Army has its own way of fighting devils, but like your style of play, when will you be able to take Little Japan out of China?" Tang Lei's next words made Sun Jin speechless, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army has always said that the Nationalist Government is passive in the War of Resistance, but they themselves are still only nesting in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei, and more places in China are still in the hands of the Japanese army. As the Japanese army's plan to clear and suppress began to be implemented, not only did the guerrillas in the enemy-occupied areas have a hard time, but even the base areas were attacked by the Japanese army from time to time.

"Our husband said that the Japanese occupied China not only to kill people, but their purpose was to plunder, to plunder more resources from China and send them back to Japan to make guns and artillery. They can build guns, but Japan's population is too small, and if we kill one, they will have one less, so there is no need for your Eighth Route Army to treat prisoners or anything at all, and killing them directly can save food and manpower, the Japanese will only respect the strong, as long as you are stronger than them, they will bow to you, otherwise everything will be in vain, and when they heal their injuries and eat their stomachs, they will still come to beat you again" Looking at Sun Jin, who bowed his head and was silent, Tang Lei did not forget to add, "This is the difference between your Eighth Route Army and our thunder, We never take prisoners"

In fact, Tang Lei didn't tell Sun Jin the truth, Zhao Zhi now has a lot of Japanese prisoners, and most of them are Japanese officers, and the highest military rank is Shao Zuo. Of course, these captured Japanese officers did not surrender on their own initiative, after learning about Zhao Zhi's achievements and Yu Dazhi's methods of interrogating the prisoners, coupled with Zhao Zhi's promise to send them back to Japan after the war, these guys chose to stay and teach the mercenaries to learn Japanese and the battlefield tactics of the Japanese army. For this reason, Zhao Zhi organized these Japanese who served him into an independent detachment, which was called the foreign army - dark night.

Seeing that Sun Jin shook his head as if he didn't agree with what he just said, Tang Lei continued, "Don't take prisoners, you can reduce the manpower consumed because of the prisoners, don't take prisoners, there is no need to consume the food and medicine that is supplied to them, these saved food and medicine can save more of their own people, don't take prisoners, to a certain extent, it will make the opponent desperately resist, but to a greater extent, make them afraid of us as enemies, you must know that when the battle is going on, fear is contagious, Then their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced"

Tang Lei's argument about prisoners, Sun Jin really heard it for the first time, there are not a few people in the Eighth Route Army who are disgusted with the preferential treatment of prisoners, they don't understand why they take the scarce medicine to treat those wounded Japanese soldiers, and they don't understand why they take the food saved by the common people to feed those captured Japanese soldiers. But the military regulations of the Eighth Route Army include obedience to their superiors, even if they don't understand it, they still do it, but Tang Lei's argument is the first time Sun Jin has heard it.

"Do you think I'm wrong?" Tang Lei took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Sun Jin, and then continued, "You turn your head and look at these brothers of mine, they are all brothers who were born and died with my husband, you can say that we are fighting for profit, but we are indeed fighting the Japanese." Each of our brothers can top the Japanese several, if not more. In my eyes, the fate of the Japanese is death, and burying their bodies on our Chinese soil is already merciful, and I will never take care of any bullshit captives with supplies that should belong to my brothers"

Tang Lei, who has always spoken very little, doesn't know what's going on today, Balabala and Sun Jin are talking endlessly, but looking at Sun Jin's changing face, Tang Lei's words still have a certain effect, at least Sun Jin listened. This also can't complain about Tang Lei, after learning that Zhang Lan was isolated by their own people under house arrest when he returned to Luoyan Mountain, Tang Lei no longer believed in the people of the Eighth Route Army, this time if it wasn't for Zhao Zhiqiang stuffing Sun Jin into the team as a liaison, he wouldn't want to deal with him at all.

"Old Sun, don't think I'm talking too much, telling you this, I treat you as my own person, and I don't hesitate to say it at all" Tang Lei pretended to be intimate and bumped Sun Jin on the shoulder, but when he turned his head, the smile on his face was gone. Warn Sun Jin, this is Tang Lei's true intention when he said these things, if Sun Jin wants to continue to stay in Zhangwu County, he must learn to abide by the rules of Thunder, if he can't do it, it is best to choose to leave.

Before the departure of this mission, Zhao Zhi chatted with Tang Lei alone for a long time, and their understanding of Yuncheng Airport came from the intelligence of the military commander, but it was a pity that when the Eighth Route Army sent the information, it did not send the injured military commander intelligence officer together. Therefore, Zhao Zhi only made a rough estimate of the strength of the airport according to the remarks on the plan, and the actual situation still needs Tang Lei and them to make on-the-spot observations. A squad of 40 men had to destroy an airfield and face thousands of enemy pursuits, and even if you count the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, the situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, beating Sun Jin at the right time has become something that Tang Lei must do, he doesn't want Sun Jin, who has the advantage in numbers, to give orders to himself after joining up with the guerrillas, telling his brothers some big truths, and even engaging in the Eighth Route Army's preferential treatment of prisoners. This is behind enemy lines, the slightest carelessness will cause the team to die here and die on the battlefield, which is nothing to Tang Lei, he is just worried that he will be shocked and ruin his husband's entire plan.

Sun Jin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he just glanced at Tang Lei and didn't say anything, Tang Lei's words were a little vague, but Sun Jin had already heard the hidden meaning. When he left the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Sun Jin did receive an order from Yan'an, asking him to use the opportunity to promote the policy of *** among the mercenaries, and see if he could try to get more information about Zhao Zhi from the mercenaries. Tang Lei's words today sounded the alarm for him, Lei Ting's regulations on treating mercenaries and the military regulations of the Eighth Route Army themselves contradict each other, Sun Jin does not think that just some big reasons can attract these uncontrolled mercenaries to join the revolution.
