Chapter 843: A Difficult Choice

"It's not special, it's just that they helped bring the food over, and we can't let General Du, a guest, wait in line!"

Zhao Yiyi glanced at Li Jian and said, this bastard really dares to say anything!

"What's not to do! He should be allowed to line up for dinner, so it's fair! ”

Li Jian muttered, and then the steaming meal was placed on the table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What else do you say? I didn't bring you into the room for breakfast! ”

Zhao Yiyi said angrily, and then thought that there were many outsiders here, and couldn't help but blush on his face.

"I'm sorry! Let General Du see the joke, our brigade commander is like this! ”

It's okay that she didn't explain, but after an explanation, the people from the Central Army looked at her with strange eyes, and then looked at Li Jian, but didn't say anything.

"What do you see? Let's eat! ”

Li Jian didn't know what these people were thinking, so he simply picked up the chopsticks and started eating, regardless of what guests invited first.

This Du Yuming didn't pay attention to it, but after a closer look, he found that the food of this independent brigade was really good!

Their Central Army had about three meals a day, and two of them were still thin, but their Eighth Route Army was a group of poor people, and they actually ate so well.

"What? Can't eat it?"

Li Jian put the big chicken leg into the bowl and asked, Zhao Yiyi next to him smiled a little bitterly, this guy really didn't let go of any benefits.

"No, but do the rest of your soldiers eat this too?"

Du Yuming hurriedly sandwiched the last chicken leg left on the plate, not because he liked to eat, but because he felt that his 10,000 oceans couldn't be spent in vain!

"Of course, every soldier of ours eats like this, how can we have the strength to train without eating, and how can we have combat effectiveness to fight devils if we can't keep up with training!"

Du Yuming looked at the dry rice in his bowl and couldn't help but ask a little strangely:

"Can you keep up with military spending like this? It's not that the Eighth Route Army is short of money! Eat so well that you'll be able to eat you soon! ”

If you look closely, you will see not only meat but also some soup, and if you look closely, you will see that there are oily flowers on the surface and bones inside.

That's a big supplement! No wonder the soldiers of the Independent Brigade all look ruddy, if ordinary people eat like this all day long, it is estimated that their stomachs will be eaten in a month or two!

"Then you're in time! These days, we are killing pigs, so there will be a little more meat, and there is not so much meat in the usual way. ”

Li Jian replied very casually, he is the boss, no matter how hard he is, he can't suffer these soldiers who are desperate with devils all day long.

"As for whether it will make us poor, this Du Junzuo doesn't have to worry, I'm not sitting on a mountain and eating empty, there must be some other ways! Otherwise, how can we feed these soldiers! ”

Li Jian ate about half of the dishes on the plate by himself like a storm, and those people in the Central Army were stunned for a while, and almost half of the dishes on the plate were missing.

But this meal was really good, after a meal, everyone was full, and finally Du Yuming pulled Li Jian aside and asked a little seriously:

"Brigade Commander Li, tell me honestly, do you have any good way to train soldiers, otherwise they wouldn't be so capable of fighting!"

The fact that the Independent Brigade can fight is not blown out, even if he Du Yuming has not seen it with his own eyes, but the actions of the devil are the best evidence.

"This one...... In fact, there are only a few points, you all came out of the military academy, you should know! ”

"Eat and drink well, have good weapons and equipment, and there is one more thing, and that is this ......"

Li Jian said and tapped his temples with his index finger, Du Yuming naturally knew what it was, and it was also what their Central Army lacked the most.

"After tonight, for the sake of both Chinese soldiers and fighting devils, I hope Brigade Commander Li can teach us more!"

Now Du Yuming began to believe what Da Lao Qi said, because he had just finished eating, he felt a little wrong, he didn't know what was going on, but after seeing those soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion preparing to attack, he was instantly frightened.

A group of soldiers who had been calm and lazy just now stood there with serious expressions, each with a rifle in their hands.

At this moment, if you want to make an analogy, that is, these people were in a state of a sharp blade hidden in the sheath, and now they are revealing their bright blades, which are cold and intimidating.

"Niu Xiaoliu, you little bastard, why don't you stay at home and come out?"

At this moment, Li Jian saw a somewhat thin-looking warrior and shouted scolding.

"I don't, this time the battalion commander said let me go!"

The little warrior stubbornly clenched the spear in his hand and replied.

"Hey, you little bastard still doesn't listen to Lao Tzu! I'll beat you to death......"

"Hey, Brigade Commander Li, it's not a good habit to beat and scold soldiers!"

Du Yuming grabbed Li Jian with some interest and said.

"Niu Xiaoliu! I have no objection to you joining the army, but this mission is dangerous, you are still young, can you come out with you in two years? ”

Li Jian said helplessly, but Niu Xiaoliu pouted and said:

"I don't, I've already passed the assessment of the Sharp Knife Battalion, why can't I go to the battlefield?"

"You ......"

"Brigadier Commander, just let him go, just follow me!"

At this moment, Xu Dayi also came over and said, he knew why Li Jian was unwilling to let Niu Xiaoliu go to the battlefield.

"Alright! Take care of him! ”

Li Jian could only compromise, and Xu Dayi immediately took Niu Xiaoliu away.

"Brigade Commander Li, I see that you are so nervous about this soldier, is there something wrong?"

Du Yuming asked a little strangely, Li Jian raised his head and looked at him, and then asked him rhetorically:

"Do you know how old that kid was just now?"

"It doesn't look like much! Twenty years old! ”

"Seventeen years old is still half a year away!"

Li Jian stretched out his hand and replied, this little guy is indeed too young, and there are some special reasons that make him not want Niu Xiaoliu to go to the dangerous battlefield.

"Is that because of this?"

Du Yuming asked a little puzzled, Li Jian pursed his lips, and then looked at Niu Xiaoliu and said reassuringly:

"You can also know this kid by name, the sixth in the family, four brothers and one sister in the front, and two younger sisters less than ten years old in the back, and the old lady in the family is sick in bed all the year round! I don't want his parents to have no old age! ”

"Doesn't he have four older brothers!"

Du Yuming said as a matter of course, can't the four elder brothers still be able to support the two old men!

"His four elder brothers were all soldiers under my command, and now there is only one left, and both legs have been blown off, and life is difficult!"

"There are still seven or eight children left behind by his brothers, as well as the elderly, and he is now the only breadwinner in the family, if he ......"

Speaking of this, Du Yuming understands, the emotional Niu Xiaoliu is now a lone seedling, if something happens, the whole family will lose their dependence!

"It's really hard to choose!"

Du Yuming sighed and said, as a soldier, you must have the determination to sacrifice your life for the country at any time, if it is because you can't let go of your family, then who will go to war?

But on the flip side, if a family loses its breadwinner, how will they survive next?

It's a tough choice, and it's a real headache.

But many times, they have to passively choose the former!
