Chapter 418: The Death of the Veteran
"Da-da Bang Bang Bang... The bamboo board knocked out the words in his heart, and called out to the big dad and aunt......"
An unkempt and dirty man named Hanako was half-lying on the stone slab on the side of the road, knocking on the bamboo board, looking closely at the pants on one of his legs were empty, and his thighs were almost broken.
His body was tattered, his hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, he hadn't showered for many days, and he still smelled a foul smell.
It's just that he is very skilled in his work, and he sings allegro while beating to the rhythm.
"Damn, where did you call Hanako? Running Lao Tzu came here to ask for food, his guts are quite fat. ”
The company commander led his subordinates to push away the crowd and scolded and walked to the back, just about to raise his foot to teach this unknown Hanako a lesson, but he saw the identity tag printed on the opponent's chest.
It's something that only exists on military uniforms, and although it's in tatters, you can vaguely tell that Hanako is definitely wearing the standard military uniform of the expeditionary force.
"Yo, it's still a sergeant, what? Just retired from the front, squad leader? The company commander sneered with a smile, although he was still a comrade-in-arms in name, but his eyes were full of disdain.
Several of the surrounding soldiers also began to taunt unscrupulously.
"I wonder if it's going to be a mud-legged person who picks up other people's clothes and pretends to be a soldier, cheating and drinking here."
"Hmph, it can't be a deserter, otherwise how can you ask for food on the street here? Or arrest him and interrogate him! ”
"Haha..."
……
In the face of other people's ridicule and insults, Hanako didn't say anything, and continued to beat the bamboo board and sing:
"I grew up on the edge of the Xiangjiang River, and I killed the enemy on the front line of the Nu River, and I also went to fight Songshan, and I also went to bomb the enemy fort..."
"I am not afraid to fight hard for the country and the people, and I am not afraid. I just want to go home victorious, and still plow the fields and grow pumpkins..."
"The Longling front line is tightly killed, flowers are hung in front of the two armies, the field hospital saws off the leg, and it is difficult to go home with one foot left, so I come to beg along the street, when the soldiers are crippled and called flowers, and the leftover soup is given half a bowl, and the ghost has to protect the country... Protect the country! ”
A low rhyme allegro attracted the attention of most of the people present, and even the few soldiers who were still laughing just now were silent, listening carefully to what he sang couldn't help but make people feel sad, as if they could feel the cruelty of the battlefield and the helplessness in their hearts.
Maybe... This Hanako has really experienced a lot of things...
"Fuck, did I let you sing!?"
The company commander's expression gradually became hideous, and the reaction of his subordinates made him feel very shameless, and he was narrow-minded, whether it was true or not, he would not allow others to steal the limelight in front of him, not to mention that he was a cripple with a broken leg.
Without waiting for Hanako to speak, the company commander slapped the other party on the head and scolded angrily: "Hurry up and get away, don't pretend to be with Lao Tzu here, if it weren't for the sake of your kid who has fought, I have to punish you!" ”
Hanako lowered his head, pretended to be indifferent and smiled, but his slightly trembling hands holding the bamboo board explained his uncalm heart at the moment.
Once upon a time, he was also a soldier of the expeditionary force who fought hard with the Japanese with a steel gun in his hand, but at this time, he was alone with the scolding and insults of his compatriots, but no one could stand up for him.
Beep! Beep!
Struggling to get up from the ground, just as Hanako was about to turn and leave, the convoy coming from the west road caught everyone's attention.
"Company commander, over there... Looks like a big official? The soldier cautioned.
At a glance, there are eight ten-wheeled army trucks in front and behind, full of heavily armed soldiers, and several jeeps in the middle, and the large-caliber heavy machine guns on the front of the cars are terrifying, and this team is not simple at first glance.
The convoy quickly stopped in front of the checkpoint, and a tall lieutenant colonel officer jumped out of the car and strode forward.
"Which is the commander here?"
Dong Dao's eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, and that bloody murderous aura was definitely not something ordinary people could have, and he swept his gaze, and the soldiers on the checkpoint forgot to salute for a while.
"Yes, yes, here!"
The company commander didn't say a word and hurriedly greeted him, nodding and greeting while saluting: "I've seen the chief, that... Where the duties of the lowly duties lie, I take the liberty of asking the number and intention of the unit where your unit belongs. ”
Dong Dao glanced at him lightly, he didn't talk nonsense with his upright personality, and said straight to the point: "We are the third division of the 88th Army's honor, this is to go to Chanda to have important military affairs, don't inquire about the rest, hurry up and move the barricades." ”
The company commander was shocked, although the 88th Army had not heard much of it, but the name of the honorary third division was like thunder, all the way from Chanda to Songshan, attacking Longling, Zhanmang City... In the end, the Japanese army lost its armor in northern Burma, and this famous army became a legend in almost the entire western Yunnan.
As he spoke, he quietly glanced behind Dong Dao, I was obedient... It's amazing, there is still a lieutenant general and a colonel sitting in the car, or is it really a big man.
"Oh, lowly and clumsy, I really don't know Taishan, please hurry, please hurry. Someone's coming! Hurry up and clear the barricades for the sir! ”
This guy's ability to steer the rudder when he sees the wind is called a perfect fire, and he is just arrogant and domineering.
As the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, although he looked down on this guy groveling, Dong Dao still didn't dwell too much, turned around and prepared to greet the convoy to continue to set off.
"Wait!"
Liao Mingyu suddenly snorted coldly, opened the door and got out of the car and walked over slowly.
The company commander chuckled in his heart, sweat soaked his back instantly, he knew very well that he had done those unclean things, if this big guy blamed it, it would be a calf.
"Long... Sir, hehe... What do you command? ”
Unexpectedly, Liao Mingyu didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the lame flower.
"Little brother, which unit are you from?"
"Huh?"
Hanako was very surprised, and looked at the other party in surprise, never thinking that someone would be interested in his cripple, and was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.
Liao Mingyu frowned, tried his best to keep his attitude calm, and asked, "Don't be afraid, tell me which unit you are?" What happened? ”
Hanako was very excited, and hurriedly propped up the branch that he used as a crutch, tried to stand up straight, raised his right hand, and replied loudly with his head held high:
"It's the Officer! The seventh company and four platoons of the 332nd Regiment of the 53rd Army, Sergeant Li Changsheng reports to you. I... As for the impostor in this gar... There were too many wounded in the field hospital of the army, and I got separated from them when I was transferred, so I ended up in this field. ”
Liao Mingyu sighed slightly, Li Changsheng's Hunan accent reminded him of the non-spicy smile of the hippie smile all day long. Although they are in tattered clothes and embarrassed, they can still maintain a smiling face and be optimistic, as if they don't want to defeat them in any difficulty.
In fact, you don't need to ask to guess that the soldier with a disabled thigh in front of him must be an abandoned son who was discarded by the army as a burden.
And the reason why Li Changsheng didn't tell the truth was because he didn't want others to know the fact that he was abandoned by his companions.
