The Japanese army thought that China was divided among the heroes and the warlords were fighting each other, like a plate of scattered sand, and arrogantly formulated the rhetoric of destroying China in three months, but as everyone knows, their all-out invasion has angered the local armies in various places, and it is also this battle that the Chinese nation has truly realized a comprehensive united front, and they have put aside their grievances with each other and jointly resisted Japan.

The next day, when the weather was still hazy, the soldiers who were sleeping soundly were awakened by the sound of a rapid whistle.

After a month of hard training, the fighters basically achieved muscle memory at the sound of sounds, and then the murmur of huhula was heard everywhere. When the scholars, Xu Yu, Old Man Wang, and the monkey opened their eyes, they saw Xia Yuan standing at the door neatly dressed.

"The big one is also very fast."

Old man Wang's name for Xia Yuan remains the same, the key is that Xia Yuan never cares about these, and everyone is basically a big man.

"Old man Wang, you are old and useless, and you haven't drunk monkeys last night." Xu was dressed in a slippery manner, while laughing at yesterday's interesting things.

"If you can't drink it, you can't drink it." Old man Wang was happy, and when the battle was imminent, the nervousness in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Squad leader, Old Man Wang may have drunk, don't underestimate him, he pretended to be a mile last night, and he has to look at the big one more than drinking." The monkey laughed, and got dressed faster than others, and a carp stood up, and just lifted his pants, he had a headache, and the feeling of the world spinning came, and he fell to the ground.

"Oops, who knocked me last night." The monkey rubbed his head and couldn't help but say.

Everyone laughed at him.

The scholar was as silent as ever, he had drunk a lot yesterday, and he vomited everywhere on the ground. But now is not the time to think about this, put on clothes, carry empty guns on their backs, and follow in the footsteps of everyone to the playground where the Ninth Company often meets.

As soon as the sky was bright, there were already a lot of people gathered, the ninth company was lined up very fast, the commander on the platform gave them plenty of time, the assembly lasted for ten minutes, and then began to lecture, it can be regarded as a pre-war mobilization, around the Japanese devils began to invade Shanghai, it will not be long before it will be fought, the whole country, regardless of men, women and children, will be caught in the flames of war, no war today, the nation is in danger.

"That's a strange thing." The scholar's eyes were bright, as if a flame was burning.

"What's a good point, it's for you to die." Standing in the crowd, the old man Wang took out a piece of meat from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach, but he didn't know where to find a branch, and put it on his yellowed teeth and picked it up.

"Big one, is this the mile?" The monkey raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yuan, who had not spoken beside him, and asked.

"See what you guys understand." Xia Yuan didn't say much.

Scholars have been educated and know the truth that 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'. Wang Huzi is an authentic farmer, in order to survive had to fight with the landlord, and was sent here as a strong man, his idea is that 'people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed' style.

Throughout the War of Resistance Against Japan, some people choose to die standing up, some people choose to live on their knees, and the name of standing and dying will remain in history, the people will always remember them, and the stench of kneeling life will last for 10,000 years, and the people will always spit on them, there is nothing to say, if you are not in that era, you will never realize their greatness and cowardice in that era.

Even in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there were many people who fled. In the first battle that Xia Yuan participated in, Changjin Lake, Commander Song of the Ninth Corps personally shot a battalion commander who was a deserter, but even so, there were still many people who were frightened by the difficult conditions and chose to retreat.

Old man Wang glanced at the scholar and said, "We are just rough people, we don't even know a word, we are not as knowledgeable as you, if it weren't for the squad leader and the big man, we would have run away a long time ago." ”

Old man Wang looked very disdainful, he was right, Xia Yuan and Xu Yu looked at him more closely, especially Xia Yuan, even if he got up lightly in the middle of the night, he could see Xia Yuan's open eyes, Xia Yuan stared too closely, so that Old Man Wang couldn't find a chance.

Old man Wang didn't say anything, but his heart was full of complaints.

Xia Yuan naturally knew that Old Man Wang was careful, he didn't say anything, and quietly waited for the commander of the recruit battalion to finish speaking. Then a group of carriages and trucks came, which was to take them to the train station, and then they had to travel for more than half a month to reach the front line, and now, half a month has passed since the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu.

The bootcamp was filled with ox carts and horse-drawn carts, and a squad was huddled together as a villager drove the wagons to the train station.

"We haven't fired a bullet yet." The monkey sat in the carriage with a gun in his hand, and couldn't help but ask, "Squad leader, when will we be able to fire bullets?" ”

"Bullets, it's early, I guess it won't be issued to you until the front line." Xu Yu was looking at the scenery around him, and when he heard the sound of a monkey, he couldn't help but look back.

"Old man Wang, we can fire bullets when we get to the front line." The monkey said with some delight.

"Aren't you afraid?" Old man Wang said.

"What are you afraid of, don't be afraid, we have guns."

The monkey grabbed the gun in his hand and couldn't put it down.

Old man Wang sneered, "You have a gun, so don't the Japanese devils have guns?" ”

"Then I don't care, I can kill the Japanese devil with a gun." The monkeys are not afraid of the sky or the earth, and their temperament is the most active in their class.

"Born optimist." The scholar was a little emotional, and really embarked on the trip, and the previous blood blew with the wind, and disappeared, leaving only nervous emotions.

Xia Yuan sat in the car, without saying a word, recalling the details of the Battle of Songhu in his mind, with the successful landing of the Japanese army, the brutal battles of Luodian, Baoshan, and Liuhe are about to kick off, and they should be able to arrive at Luodian before the end of the battle to reinforce the Central Army holding Luodian.

"Big one, what do you want?"

Since Xia Yuan became the deputy squad leader, he did not rely on his power to suppress them, but as before, he was not used to calling him the deputy squad leader, everyone still called him big, Old Man Wang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, the wind blew, the cigarette butt was bright and burned quickly, he never guessed Xia Yuan's thoughts.

Ever since the big man got better, he has become more and more unable to see through him, as if he has changed into a different person.

Seeing that the big man was silent, Old Man Wang said with emotion: "People's heads are good, and they are still the same as before." You've got your head right, I don't know a few of us. ”

Xia Yuan shook his head, he recalled that the Sichuan army was abolished, the Gui army was destroyed, and the Central Army was basically defeated.

In this battle, there is a high probability that their squad will be wiped out.

"I'm thinking about this fight."

"What is there to think about here, do you want to fight, you fight me, I fight yours." Old man Wang said nonchalantly.

"Are you planning to take advantage of this battle to escape?" Xia Yuan suddenly asked coldly.

Old Man Wang's relaxed expression suddenly disappeared, his face changed slightly, and he quickly recovered: "How is it possible?" When you get to the front line, where is there any reason to escape. ”

"I can't say, if you run away, I won't say anything, just don't run away in my nose." Xia Yuan has experienced all kinds of battles, and his attitude towards deserters is zero tolerance.

My regiment commander, in my regiment, died and died, and said that one can sweep away ten, and ten can sweep away a hundred, if the old man Wang runs away on the battlefield, and he turns around and flees, the recruits who are already afraid will collapse, like a plate of scattered sand.

And if no one escapes, they stay in position, and no recruits will run away even if they are afraid.

Everyone looked at Xia Yuan and Old Man Wang.

Old man Wang smoked quietly, squinting his eyes, unable to see what he was thinking.

The big man's complexion is always calm, unlike them, after more than a month of training, the big man is not only not as sallow as them, but his body is getting stronger and stronger, the muscles on his arms are bulging, he can't see it in his military uniform, and when he takes off his military uniform, he can see the sturdy body, which is completely different from the thin stripes of the scholar.

Old man Wang is a fine person, and the big man is sharp and introverted.

The carriage swayed from side to side, the wheels creaking, from the dawn until the sun hung above them, and they stopped in an open field, where a number of troops had gathered and were walking in the direction of the railway station.

Company Commander Du waved his hand and led them through the streets and alleys with the flow of people, the soldiers looked left and right, looking at everything around them, suddenly, there was a commotion in front, everyone couldn't help but look forward curiously, but there were too many people in front of them, and they couldn't see it.

When they got to the front, everyone found that the residents of the town were wearing plain clothes, standing on the side of the street, at the mouth of the alley, with the old man leading the right, the women were holding baskets, the baskets were filled with eggs, and the steamed buns were vigorously put into the arms of the national army brothers, the all-out war of resistance broke out, the Songhu War began, this difficult and protracted battle shocked China and foreign countries, this was a patriotic war, and these national army brothers who went out were fighting to defend their homeland, and they tried their best to put their delicious things into the arms of the national army brothers.

The scholar stuffed a few eggs and steamed buns in his arms, and the monkey happily grabbed the apples and ate them in a big gulp, he had never eaten such a delicious apple, and the old man Wang looked at the steamed buns and eggs in his hands with some silence, and his mood was inexplicable.

He just wanted to be a deserter.

More and more food and fruit were stuffed into his arms, until they couldn't fit anymore.

Everyone is an authentic farmer, half of his life has been bullied by the landlord and bullies, living a life of not enough to eat, not warm to wear, where have I seen such a scene, where have I received such care, for a time everyone is like a walking corpse, moving with the flow of people in a daze, not only them, these new barracks of the national army brothers are the same as them, they are frightened, shocked, and warmed.

The old man Wang puffed out the cigarette butt, and the monkey straightened his waist.

An inexplicable emotion spread over the new barracks, and at this moment they finally understood what the commander of the new barracks said before mobilization: "What are we fighting for, for the land of China, for thousands of people, for the lights of thousands of homes." ”

The team was surprisingly quiet, with only a noisy crowd with smiles on their faces, food in their hands, and shoved into their arms.

As he walked, a soldier from the next company fell to his knees with a thud and shouted loudly: "Today I am out of the Yu realm, and I swear that there will be as many Japanese devils as there are to protect my Chinese safety!" ”

His head slammed into the ground, and he slammed into everyone's hearts.

It was almost time to arrive at the station, the battalion commander of the recruit battalion ordered the soldiers to put down the fruits, carry only a small number of eggs and steamed buns, and then the team was fully assembled and waited quietly for the arrival of the train in the open space of the railway station.

Some of the recruits were a little dissatisfied, why do you have bullets and grenades, and we can only carry one gun on our backs, or an empty one.

The veterans sneered at the recruits with mockery in their eyes, and some mocked them: "A bunch of cannon fodder." ”

Immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the recruit soldiers, and several tall recruits angrily reprimanded: "Who are you scolding cannon fodder!" ”

The veteran replied to them mercilessly: "What about you, a bunch of cannon fodder!" ”

Just as the barracks and the veteran phalanx were in tension, the voice of the herald arrived: "All board!" All board! ”

The recruits glanced at the veterans with anger in their eyes, and the veterans walked away with a haughty stride.

"Why are these people like this!"

Someone said unconvinced.

"Why? Just because you are too weak, the first time you go to the battlefield, what is not cannon fodder, daily training is to improve your chances of surviving on the battlefield, if you don't train well to the battlefield, you die without even killing a Japanese devil, what are you not cannon fodder? If you don't want to be cannon fodder, you can, then use the guns in your hands to kill the Japanese devils, it's worth dying. ”

The commander of the recruit battalion responded to them loudly, suppressing the dissatisfaction of many recruits.

"Special mother, this is not to treat us as human beings, why do they have bullets and don't give us bullets, this is obviously to send us to the battlefield to block the guns." Old man Wang felt unbalanced, his voice was not small, but it was not loud, only the soldiers around him could hear it.

"Yes, just give us a gun, don't give anything else, just let us go to the battlefield, even if we are recruits, but we have to shoot bullets on the battlefield."

"Even if we are asked to kill the Japanese devils, we have to be given bullets."

Old man Wang's words immediately resonated with some people, how can anyone go to the battlefield without firing bullets, isn't this too bullying.

"Old man Wang, don't talk nonsense! When we get to our destination, they'll give us bullets. Xu Yu's face changed slightly, this guy is trying to provoke.

"Squad leader, you are facing them, we are all desperate on the battlefield, since we are fighting with the Japanese devils, we have to give bullets, or do they not give us bullets, because they are afraid that we will shoot them."

Old man Wang had an inexplicable look on his face.
