After washing, the whistle sounded. The brothers at the entrance of the Little Red Mansion and on the playground were unfamiliar with this long-lost whistle, and seemed to be very surprised, and they all stood there and looked around. Lin Qiming was very angry and asked Fei Xingyuan to shout. Fei Xingyuan shouted, his voice dry and hoarse, and asked all the brothers to gather and listen to Camp Commander Lin's lecture. Many of the brothers did not know until this time that the battalion commander and battalion deputy had returned, and they chattered and gathered in the middle of the playground.

Lin Qiming strode to the front of the queue, looked at the broken pocket watch in his hand, and then looked at the brothers in front of him, and said sharply:

"Twelve minutes! The whole assembly process is 12 minutes! Do you say it yourself, is this still like a contingent of the National Revolutionary Army?! On the battlefield, these twelve minutes could cause the annihilation of our entire army! ”

The brethren were silent. Lin Qiming stood in front of him, and all the rules in the military were naturally remembered. They all know Camp Commander Lin's temper, and they are all afraid of Camp Chief Lin's flint-like face.

"As I said, as long as the war does not end, as long as we are still wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army, we are soldiers! A soldier on the battlefield, a soldier in this military barracks! But look, who the fuck are you still like soldiers?! ”

It is true that he is not like a soldier, since he was the battalion commander and the battalion deputy to the 12th military battalion, he has not been able to do the drill for a month, and the flag has not been raised, and he has thought of running for his own life, and he sees himself as a prisoner.

"People dare to bully us like this, dare to arrest people at every turn, and search at every turn, just because we are a mess of scattered sand! Just because we don't look like soldiers! Deputy Xie Jinyuan and a group of brothers from the 524th Regiment are also in the military camp, they have backbone, discipline, and are not discouraged by the desperate situation for the country and the nation, who dares to touch them?! It's not the enemy who defeats us, it's us! ”

Everyone understands what the battalion commander said, but it's hard to do. Didn't Company Commander Tu also want to organize the brothers? But as soon as Lu Xiping ran away whimsically, the brothers forgot everything and followed the girl.

"I know that before I returned to the Ninth Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Bradik told me about the escape. The lieutenant colonel transferred me and Deputy Fei Ying back to the Ninth Battalion in order for us to assist them in preventing possible escapes, but I and Deputy Fei Ying both refused, and it was not our responsibility. The responsibility of me and Deputy Fei Battalion is to be responsible to all the brothers in the 3rd Battalion of the 1776th Regiment and to the country and nation for which we are fighting! Let me repeat again, we are now spending the sun and moon on the realm of Western devils, and each of us not only represents himself, but also represents the country, the national army and our Chinese nation! We were not caught here by force by Western devils, but we entered the concession on the orders of our government and Shangfeng! Therefore, I oppose any irresponsible escape schemes! If we want to go out, we must go out in the name of the third battalion of the 1776th Regiment of the National Army, and we must go out in a collective formation......"

The brothers were surprised, and they all stared at Camp Commander Lin with wide eyes. Everyone didn't expect that Camp Commander Lin would also oppose escaping.

Niu Kangnian, who was standing in the front row, shouted:

"To put it lightly, who told you to line up and drive out?"

The lecture was interrupted.

Lin Qiming looked at Niu Kangnian coldly for a long time, and ordered:

"Get out of the line!"

Niu Kang walked forward nonchalantly and almost walked in front of Lin Qiming.

"Stand upright!"

Niu Kangnian stood still, tilted his head, and squinted at Lin Qiming.

Lin Qiming opened his bow left and right, slapped Niu Kangnian twice, and after the shot, he ordered:

"Turn backwards and run into the line!"

Niu Kangnian kicked and dragged back into the queue, a pair of bulging eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Lin Qiming ignored Niu Kangnian anymore and continued his lecture:

"We are not prisoners of the Concession authorities, and no third country in the Concession has the right to arbitrarily dispose of our comrades, our brothers! Company Commander Tu Guoqiang, Company Deputy Bai Kequn, and two other brothers in our battalion who were arrested, I and Deputy Fei Ying have made solemn representations to Lieutenant Colonel Bradick, and Lieutenant Colonel Bradick has promised to negotiate with the Central Arrest House to release them back as soon as possible. However, each of us brethren must also remember that our government has not waged war against any third country in the concession, and that we and the third country represented by the camp administration should try to avoid armed conflict......"

Niu Kangnian roared again:

"Are you the battalion commander or the battalion commander of the Western devils?"

Lin Qiming interrupted the lecture again and shot his gaze at Niu Kangnian.

Niu Kangnian was not afraid at all, and without letting Lin Qiming give an order, he strode out of the queue, "eat and pull", tore off his military coat, and beat his chest with his fist and said:

"You fight again! If you want a gun, shoot the here! ”

Lin Qiming didn't fight, but only asked lightly:

"You're still not a soldier of our army? Are there any rules? When the chief speaks, can he mess around like this? ”

Niu Kangnian laughed, and vented presumptuously while laughing:

"Where are there soldiers in this pigsty?! It's all pigs! I'm a pig, you're a pig, we're all pigs! No matter the Oriental devils, Western devils, you can kill us when you want! If you don't run away from dogs, you should run away! Whoever dares to stand in the way of the masters, the men will learn from Company Commander Lu and fight for a dog's day! What a country, a nation, coax ghosts! Whoever wants to represent the country, the nation, and whoever represents it, you only represent yourself......"

Lin Qiming couldn't listen to it anymore, his face was blue, and he ordered Fei Xingyuan, the battalion deputy beside him:

"Send someone to take him up!"

Fei Xingyuan hesitated, looked at Lin Qiming, and then looked at Niu Kangnian, and first made a peacemaker:

"Old Niu, don't make trouble! Get in the ranks! Battalion Commander Lin is right, soldiers must have the rules of soldiers, and the commander is not happy to interject like this when he speaks! I'll talk about it after I have something to do! ”

Niu Kangnian even scolded Fei Xingyuan:

"How old the are you? Take care of Lao Tzu too?! Lao Tzu said, Lao Tzu only represents himself, and from now on, there will be no more chiefs! Escape and survive, it is my life! Die in this stinky pigsty, Lao Tzu also deserves it! Nothing to do with your dicks! ”

Fei Xingyuan trembled with anger, waved his hand to the queue, and several brothers standing in the front row ran over, twisted Niu Kangnian with three strikes, and then looked up at the battalion commander and battalion deputy, waiting for further orders.

Lin Qiming said:

"Shut up in the room of the Little Red Mansion first!"

The brothers took Niu Kangnian away.

Niu Kangnian was twisted by the brothers, and he struggled to turn his head and scolded Lin Qiming and Fei Xingyuan, and scolded all the swear words.

Lin Qiming just didn't hear it, calmed down his emotions, and continued what he said just now:

"Because we are the national army and represent the country, we can't help but think about the country. At the same time, I, Lin Qiming, also believe that the state will also be responsible for us, and will finally solve the problem of the 30,000 brothers in the concession through diplomatic channels. I have a basis for saying that the government will be responsible, for example, the monthly subsistence allowance of our 30,000 brothers is paid by the government to the concession management authorities on time through Mayor Yu Hongjun! The central government and the government have never forgotten us. The Chinese people, especially the people of Shanghai, have not forgotten us. Compatriots from all walks of life in Shanghai are still collecting donations for us to this day. ”

Lin Qiming was excited, and tears were covered in his eyes:

"Brethren, we are not isolated, we have a great nation behind us, a great nation; We must believe that the final victory belongs to us! Take 10,000 steps back, even if all the negotiations of the government have failed, we can't get out of the military camp, and when the Anti-Japanese War is won, we will definitely be able to line up to open this isolated island! By then, the brethren will be heroes of the nation and the nation! Later people will say, we are not a bad seed! We have shouldered the heavy national disaster of this era! Remember, it's our shoulders! ”

The brethren were also excited, clapping loudly, and in the midst of the applause, some whimpered and sobbed.

Lin Qiming also said:

"Compared to the building of Shou Tak Xin Company; The situation here should be said to be much better, at least there is no shelling and strafing by devils. In Dexin Company, the brothers are not afraid of death, and they are all willing to be loyal to the country with someone in my forest, and today the brothers in the ninth battalion are not willing to be loyal to the country together with the commander of this battalion?! I don't believe that's going to happen! I know my brethren! ”

Another touching round of applause.

"Even Niu Kangnian, I think he is a good brother! At DXN Building, how well he played! It was with the battalion commander who was the last to withdraw from the building. By then, he was wounded, and in the arm, I remember. He is so foolish today, he must have harbored some kind of blind fire, and the battalion commander will not blame him. But, as I said, we are soldiers, and this kind of thing can't happen again! From today onwards, everything must return to normal, and it must be normal to go to exercise, raise the flag spiritually, and learn culture! Remember, we're not prisoners, we're soldiers! The third battalion of the 1776 regiment is still there, and the commander of this battalion is still there! ”

At the end of the lecture, Fei Xingyuan shouted the command, asking all the brothers to stand upright, turn to the left, face the east, and face the spiritual national flag.

It is a gloomy spring day, and the sun that cannot see the reality of the wheel is also the spirit. The clouds in the eastern sky were low and thick, like ploughed fields, and the furrows could be seen clearly. The furrow converges in the far sky, a glorious glow.

He ordered the music to be played, the flag was hoisted, and then, standing upright, facing the glow of the east, solemnly put his five fingers together, slowly raised them above his head, and slowly approached the brim of his worn military hat. The brothers held their heads high and saluted to the east.

He felt that the military music was ringing, the national flag was rising, and his life had entered a glorious realm with the sound of the military music and the raising of the national flag.

That's nice. It's all good. He returned to the brethren of the 9th Chinese Military Battalion. He was able to confidently lead his brothers to assure his loyalty to the country and the nation. Like Xie Jinyuan, the deputy of the 524th Regiment, he will turn the military battalion into a special battlefield for tempering the personality and will of the brothers, so that the banner of national indomitability will always flutter on this special battlefield.

Military music is ringing, and the national flag is being raised.

Two lines of clear tears unconsciously flowed onto his face, and dew slowly rolled like dewdrops......
