When Gu Annan saw his expression, he immediately knew the current embarrassing situation of the materials, and now there are still three days before receiving the next wave of grain distributed to Yingdong, and there are many people who can survive these three days, but there are also many people who may not be able to survive.

The corpses on the ground were splashed with muddy water, and the other survivors all knelt in the rain and none of them stood up, they stared at Gu Annan and the soldiers behind him, letting the rain lap on their faces.

Gu Annan's chest rose and fell, his eyes kept falling on those corpses, and the air seemed to be somewhat frozen.

In this frozen air, the rain is invading the ground with impunity. Gu Annan's ears could no longer hear everyone's pleading, he only felt that there was a blood surging in his heart.

The next moment, he turned and shouted to the other soldiers behind him.

"Line up, grab your weapons, and follow me to Dongtan."

The crowd kneeling on the ground boiled, and Gu Annan's garrison finally began to act as they hoped, although everyone didn't know what they were going to set off for, but there was an inexplicable hope that suddenly filled the hearts of these people.

If you move, you will do something.

Gu Annan's troops moved, and the people kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, watching these soldiers leave in the rain, their eyes staring in the direction of Dongtan for a long time, until the figure in the distance disappeared at the end of the road.

"Company Commander Gu?" The officer guarding the Dongtan base camp is named Ling Shidong, who is at the same level as Gu Annan, and the two are quite familiar with each other.

"I need to borrow a batch of military rations," Gu Annan said straight to the point, Yingdong had already starved to death because of the food run out, and he didn't have time to be polite to Ling Shidong now.

"Is there an appointment from above?" Ling Shidong paused for a moment, but he didn't expect Gu Annan to come for food.

"No, the situation is urgent, and the government doesn't know the situation in Yingdong at the moment," Gu Annan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard that Ling Shidong was looking for him to be appointed, this set of procedures for applying for an appointment takes a lot of time not to say, and it is still a problem whether to give this appointment from above.

"Yingdongguang has already starved to death of five people today," Gu Annan stared at Ling Shidong's eyes and said word by word, "I have to bring the food back today, Yingdong's next batch of supplies will not be distributed until three days later, and the people there can't wait for three days." ”

"Soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory, and the order given to me from above is to stay here to protect logistics materials," Ling Shidong saw that Gu Annan's attitude was very tough, and he was unwilling to back down, and he was not a direct officer of Yingdong, so he couldn't empathize with the situation there like Gu Annan.

"You're right, it's the duty of the soldiers to defend the land, but what is the purpose of the soldiers to defend the land?" Gu Annan saw that Ling Shidong did not give an inch, and the situation seemed to be about to go on like this, and the surrounding soldiers were all watching here, watching the two captains compete against each other.

"The purpose of the soldiers guarding the land is to calm the people, it is to calm the people," Gu Annan shouted sharply, "Now that the people are going to starve to death, are you guarding the land waiting to bury them?" ”

"Without the order from above, I ......," Ling Shidong seemed to be a little shaken under Gu Annan's loud drink, but the kind of soul-deep education after joining the army still made him insist on blocking the door.

"You're stubborn, you're welcome," Gu Anan interrupted him and waved to the soldiers behind him, "Take people down." ”

The soldiers who followed Gu Annan had just come from Yingdong, and everyone knew very well how bad the situation there was. On the way here, Gu Annan told them his plans.

Gu Annan knew that the probability of persuading Ling Shidong was very small, so he was also ready to come hard.

The soldiers guarding Dongtan raised their guns one after another, but none of them had any intention of shooting their robes, and everyone reacted instinctively to the crisis.

Ling Shidong had already been taken down by Gu Annan, and after his weapon was dropped, the person looked at Gu Annan with a serious face.

"Brother, you are violating military law, and the consequences are very serious." Although Ling Shidong understood Gu Annan's behavior, out of concern for his comrades, he had to warn Gu Annan.

"If you bring people back now, I'll help you suppress this matter, as if it hadn't happened," Ling Shidong continued, knowing that Gu Annan's actions could be severely punished, or even shot.

"Count me begging you, let those brothers behind the door put down their weapons," Gu Anan took Ling Shidong's kindness down, but his determination to bring food back to save people was very strong, "You and I have both stayed on the front line, and there will generally be more materials transported over, and a few less carts will not have much impact on the war, at most the speed of action may be slightly slowed down." But these truckloads of supplies are different for Yingdong, it can live many people's lives. ”

"Have you figured it out?" Ling Shidong stared at Gu Anan and asked.

Gu Annan nodded, his gaze very firm.

"Put your guns down, brothers," Ling Shidong shouted back to the soldiers on his side behind him, "our muzzles are not for our own people. ”

"Everything is urgent, and all the consequences will be borne by me, Gu Annan," Gu Annan shouted loudly to the surroundings.

Several truckloads of life-saving supplies were transported back to Yingdong, and the dark clouds hanging over the people's heads finally dissipated, just when Gu Annan was just relieved, the government leaders in Hengsha were furious because of his illegal invasion of the camp and forcibly transported military rations.

"Gu Annan, is it because of his military merits that he began to swell?"

"Wait for Hengsha to take it down, and then settle accounts with him."

"Is there no military law in the eyes of this person?"

On the day of the liberation of Hengsha Island, many officers and soldiers who participated in this operation were commended and received medals, but Gu Annan was stripped of his rank of captain and taken to Hengsha to be dealt with by military law.

Zhu Guosheng, Gu Annan's former veteran leader in the military region, had the rank of colonel, and he was very surprised when he first learned the news that Gu Annan had led people to forcibly break into Dongtan, because he knew Gu Annan's character and knew that this subordinate lieutenant was not a reckless person.

After guessing that the government would settle accounts with him because of this, Zhu Guosheng found someone to investigate the situation at that time and gave feedback to the municipal party committee. Later, he ran in many ways, and only then did he save Gu Annan.

After seven days of confinement, Gu Annan was demoted from the former second lieutenant to the captain of the security brigade, and has been in this position until now. And then the battles on Changxing Island and other areas of Chongming Island were all related to him, and this idle and not idle position seemed to accompany him until the end of his military career.

After the incident of forcibly breaking into Dongtan, Gu Annan's career was basically over, and there were even voices in the municipal party committee that wanted to shoot him, but fortunately, in the end, he was saved. He knew that this was the result of Zhu Guosheng's efforts behind the scenes, and he was also very grateful to this leader and his predecessors. Zhu Guosheng's nephews and nieces opened a store in Yingdong, and he did his best to take care of them.

In the eyes of many people, Gu Annan lost a lot of things because of Yingdong's seizure of grain, and even his good future, which was originally favored and envied by many people, was ruined. There are people who feel sorry for him, and there are even more people who watch his jokes, but Gu Annan has always been calm and doesn't care much.

In his opinion, the most important thing for a soldier is the mission on his shoulders, not his personal gains and losses. His grandfather had educated him this before, and his father had educated him the same way. Gu Annan once thought that if he had a child in the future, he would also pass on this idea.

The sudden occurrence of the disaster made the world unrecognizable, and Gu Annan's mind was much lighter when facing personal problems.

"If the enemy is not destroyed, how can it be home?" Now he has no enthusiasm to throw away for the country, but people are trapped here, and they can only watch the time slowly wear off their fighting spirit.

When dealing with the "Seven Star Gang", Gu Annan had the idea of completely extinguishing them more than once, but those big mistakes did not make small mistakes, and they were as sticky as dog skin plasters.

Of course, the main reason is that these compatriots who did business in Yingdong later were too cowardly, and under the influence of self-interest, they still retreated step by step with Gu Annan, a big backer, forcing Gu Annan to find no suitable agent available in front of the stage.

Gu Annan has a background in the government and the army, and it is impossible for him to roll up his sleeves and go to the "Seven Star Gang" to fight in this ring, but the businessmen are reluctant to come out, which makes Gu Annan's work in Yingdong very passive.

When Xi Yongliang persuaded him to calm down, Gu Anan also calmed down, "I can only think about it in the long run." ”

Gu Annan sighed, "If there is no external force, Yingdong may become a stagnant water because of the gradual gain of power from the people of Bagan. Of course, this backwater is for us, and for those of Bagan, this is a paradise from now on. ”

"Unwillingly," Gu Annan's face showed a look of helplessness, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's not as good as before, I don't have the capital to lose again." ”

Xi Yongliang knew what Gu Annan meant by capital, and a few months ago, the commander's move to Dongtan to grab military rations made him lose his military position, military merits, and future in the army. He saved many people, but those people are now scattered to other places in Chongming District, and not many of the people who settled in Yingdong later accepted his affection.

Zhu Guosheng also paid a lot of price in the process of helping Gu Annan run, except for Gu Annan being removed from his military rank, only seven days of confinement was already the limit of what he could operate.

As a soldier, he is more rational, on the one hand, he values Gu Annan's ability, and on the other hand, he also feels that Gu Annan should not become a victim. And in this incident, he saw Gu Annan's courage and knew that this subordinate was both brave and promising, and dared to act.

However, if Gu Annan wants to return to the front line, he still needs to wait for the right time and his own unremitting efforts. Zhu Guosheng said a lot to Gu Annan at the beginning, which is also the reason why Gu Anan did not dare to act aggressively against the "Seven Star Gang" in Yingdong.

Gu Annan has left a lot of stains on the government's side because of the Dongtan incident, because no one in this system will like disobedient people, and for those guys who have the courage to act without permission, everyone's opinion is almost unanimous, that is, to kick him out of the team.

The matter of robbing the military rations is undoubtedly a slap in the face to them, and these people's eyes will not take their eyes off Gu Annan's body for a long time, as long as he is a little wrong, someone may stand up and attack him in the next moment.
