Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 3: Never Give Up (640 votes)
Li Song finally left, very unwillingly.
Shu Tongwen greeted Wang Yulan, and then asked the black blind man: "Old Hei, what's the matter with you?" β
Without waiting for the black blind man to speak, Cao Jiao hurriedly said: "Awen, Brother Heizi, they all let those people on the dock who carry big bags to beat, these people are too ruthless, what do you think Brother Heizi and they have all been beaten into?" This matter is not over, we have to teach these people a lesson, lest they think that our national army is afraid of them. β
Dragons have reverse scales, and people also have bottom lines, don't look at Cao Jiao's usual delicate and weak, like a small grass on the side of the road to step on, but once she touches her bottom line, she will also be mad, and she will also become a tigress, and the black blind man is Cao Jiao's bottom line, Cao Jiao just can't see the black blind being bullied by others.
Shu Tongwen didn't pick up Cao Jiao's stubble, what can I do if this matter is not over? Bring the brothers and copy the guys to make all those bitter hahas abrupt? Obviously not, besides, you really can't blame people for this, it was they who forcibly broke into other people's territory and robbed other people's livelihoods, and they were forced to resist only when they were in a hurry.
Sighing, Shu Tongwen said to the black blind man: "Old Hei, don't go tomorrow." β
The black blind man hummed, and said with a sad face: "But Awen, if you don't go to the dock to carry a big bag, just the little rotten rice issued by the quartermaster department will not be enough to eat."
Shu Tongwen sighed: "From today onwards, the little rotten rice in the Quartermaster Department is gone. β
"Huh?" The black blind man was dumbfounded, and everyone realized that Shu Tongwen had come back empty-handed.
Li Mu, Ergua, and Cao Jiao's eyes dimmed in an instant, but the eyes of the No. 100 rout soldiers sitting against the wall showed a look of despair, the black blind people couldn't go to the dock to carry big bags, and the quartermaster department had cut off the only bit of rations, and these wounded who had lost their ability to work really had only one way to die.
Without medicine, they can still stay up, hoping that the wound will heal itself.
However, without food rations, they didn't even have a chance to survive.
A wounded man grabbed his rifle with trembling hands, then pulled the bolt and loaded it, and before the other wounded could react, he had already put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and the back of the wounded's head suddenly burst with a gunshot, and a poignant blood flower had bloomed on the lime-brushed wall behind him.
The wounded nearby looked gloomy, but Shu Tongwen was so angry that he was about to explode.
There is a way that ants are still greedy for life, let alone human beings who are the spirits of all things?
If this wounded man had not been desperate to the core, if he had not been extremely disappointed in the Nationalist Government, how could he have put his heart into ending his life? You must know that his injuries are not serious, but the scalding of the bullet casings caused an infection, even if he is given medicine now, he can heal quickly, and he can set foot on the battlefield again.
All it takes is a vial of sulfonamide powder, and he can set foot on the battlefield again
This is a veteran of a hundred battles, a true hero, who has now committed suicide in despair
weishenmeοΌ Weishenme Shu Tongwen shouted frantically in his heart, the warehouse of the quartermaster department was full of medicines, including a lot of sulfonamide powder, Shu Tongwen asked the quartermaster many times, but the quartermaster just didn't give it, and he didn't give it at all because Shu Tongwen didn't invite him to Zuixianlou to drink, so Shu Tongwen didn't give him money
The sound of pulling the bolt of the gun continued to sound, and several wounded people pushed the bullet to load at the same time, stuffed the muzzle of the gun into their mouths, or pressed it against their chins, and many of the wounded were struggling violently, but their hands were clearly stretched out to the rifles resting beside them.
"Stop, stop it all" Shu Tongwen was full of heart and gall, and rushed into the main hall of the Guan Temple with a loud roar.
"Don't mess around, don't mess around" Shu Tongwen waved his hands again and again, yelling, "Although the work of carrying a big bag can't be done, and the quartermaster department has cut off our rations, but as long as I Shu Tongwen is here, this day will not collapse, please give me a few days, I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out."
"Awen, you are a student baby, what can you do?"
"We are also a burden to the 19th Brigade when we are alive, so it is better to die in the net."
"Awen, Lao Hei, thank you for taking care of me during this time, I, Peng Song, am not a person who knows how to repay my kindness, but your kindness can only be repaid in the next life."
The wounded soldiers who pulled the trigger all looked miserable, and many of them were already in tears.
The black blind man, Li Mu, and Ergua all clenched their fists, only hating themselves for not having the ability, Wang Yulan and Cao Jiao had already cried into tears, and Gu Yaqin, who had always been indifferent as frost, also wiped her tears, people's hearts are flesh and blood, watching their comrades-in-arms choose to commit suicide because of despair, how many can not be moved?
More wounded raised their rifles, and the tragedy was instantaneous.
Shu Tongwen could only pull out the box cannon, open the nose, and then put the muzzle of the gun against his temple, and shouted: "Whoever dares to shoot, I will shoot and I will die with you."
"Arwen, why are you doing this?" The veteran named Peng Song said miserably, "You have already paid too much for us. β
"I promised the captain, as long as I Shu Tongwen still has a breath, I will never leave anyone behind, and our nineteenth brigade will never abandon their brothers" Shu Tongwen gritted his teeth and roared angrily, "You want to die, I can only die with you, so that when I get to Lord Yama, I will have the face to explain to the captain." β
Many of the wounded soldiers sobbed softly, why did they want to die?
"Brothers, believe me, please believe me" Shu Tongwen also shed tears and said emotionally, "The captain often tells us that we must not give up lightly until the moment of Zuihou, on the battlefield, even in the face of thousands of Japanese soldiers, even in the face of aircraft, tanks and artillery, even if we fight to the death of Zuihou, we have not given up, at the moment it is only a little difficulty, are you going to give up?" β
After a pause, Shu Tongwen said sharply: "Don't forget that you are soldiers of the 19th Brigade, have you forgotten the precepts of our 19th Brigade?" Never abandon, never give up, the captain told me that since the day our 19th Brigade was born, we have never abandoned our brothers, let alone cowards who give up easily, do you want to be cowards? β
Facing Shu Tongwen's roar, the wounded soldiers howled and cried, but they could no longer pull the trigger.
Shu Tongwen hurriedly asked the black blind man, Li Mu, and Ergua to collect the rifles of these wounded soldiers, and from today onwards, the guns must be kept in a unified manner, and these wounded soldiers can no longer easily touch the guns, and then appease the emotions of the wounded soldiers, Shu Tongwen ordered a meal, and Cao Jiao and Gu Yaqin sent bowls of haode gruel to the wounded soldiers
Half a large vat of porridge seems to be a lot, but if more than 100 people divide it evenly, it is only a little bit.
Li Musan drank it all in two clicks, and then stretched out his tongue to lick and eat the only two grains of rice left at the bottom of the bowl, Shu Tongwen sighed, walked over and poured the remaining half of the bowl of porridge into Li Mu's bowl, and then walked into the side courtyard of Guan Temple alone, when Wang Yulan followed into the side courtyard, Shu Tongwen just fetched half a bucket of water from the well and was drinking.
"Awen, what can you do with just drinking water?" Wang Yulan said distressedly, "And on a cold day, you will get sick if you drink cold water." β
Shu Tongwen put down the bucket and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm young, I have strong firepower, and I can bear it." After saying that, the person staggered.
Wang Yulan sighed, took out a stack of fiat currency from her satchel and handed it to Shu Tongwen, and said, "Awen, you take this money, I can help you, that's all." β
Shu Tongwen looked at the stack of fiat currency in Wang Yulan's hand, all of which were denominations of ten yuan, not to mention five or six hundred yuan, which was definitely a huge amount of money half a year ago, but now the fiat currency has been seriously depreciated, and ten fiat currencies are not worth as much as a piece of ocean, and many small traders do not accept fiat currency at all, and it is useless to take it.
"Dr. Wang, what do you mean by that?" Shu Tongwen's expression turned cold.
"I, I, want to take Zihan to Hankou." Wang Yulan hesitated slightly, then told her intention, she went home during this time she threatened with a hunger strike, Wang Chonghui had to make concessions, and agreed that Wang Yulan and Li Zihan would continue to interact, but Li Zihan must leave the 19th Brigade and enter the military training department.
Shu Tongwen asked, "Did you tell Zihan about this?" β
"Nope." Wang Yulan shook her head and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that he will be angry when he finds out, so I want to hide it from him first, and only tell him that I went to the big hospital in Hankou to treat his injuries." β
"Okay, then you can take him away." Shu Tongwen only struggled a little and then compromised, he really wanted to maintain the integrity of the 19th Brigade, because he had promised Xu 19 before breaking through, but Li Zihan's infection was very serious, and if he dragged it on, he was afraid that he would not be able to save his legs, and he might starve to death if he stayed here
Looking at Shu Tongwen's gloomy expression, Wang Yulan suddenly felt inexplicably guilty, and immediately sent the stack of fiat coins in her hand forward, and said, "Awen, you should accept this money." β
"It's okay, just treat it as if I borrowed it, and I'll pay you back when I get paid." Shu Tongwen finally took over the stack of fiat currency, no matter what, now is not the time to be angry, the world has the biggest belly, as long as he can fill his stomach with more than 100 brothers, let alone suffer such a little grievance, even if he is allowed to die, he will have no regrets
Shu Tongwen had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, and asked Wang Yulan: "Doctor Wang, can you take a few more brothers to Hankou?" You know that Peng Song, Xiaodao, and Xiaofeng have very serious infections in their wounds, and if they don't operate and clear the sores in time, I'm afraid their lives won't be saved......"
Shu Tongwen's words broke halfway through, because he saw the look of embarrassment on Wang Yulan's face.
Wang Yulan is indeed very embarrassed, for Li Zihan she almost broke off the father-daughter relationship with her father, if the seriously injured of the 19th Brigade are brought to Hankou Hospital, her father will definitely be furious, and I am afraid that what she has promised will be repented, not to mention that her family is not a rich family, and she can't afford the treatment of so many wounded.
Shu Tongwen showed a hint of self-deprecation on his face and said, "Then don't bother Dr. Wang." β
