Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 135

Depressedly stroking his captain's collar badge, Lei Xiong remained silent for a long time.

Under the almost frozen eyes of the major general and the anxious gaze of more than 200 colleagues, this famous tough guy of the 88th Division touched his captain's rank with tears in his eyes.

Yes, although he lowered his head, everyone, including the garrison troops in the concession who were waiting in line and not quite understanding what happened, could feel that the young Chinese lieutenant with a tough face was sad.

The garrison in the concession didn't understand, they didn't understand why the lieutenant who clearly resisted the orders of his superiors was so sad.

But the Chinese soldiers standing on the other side of the river vaguely understood.

The rank of captain he was stroking, no, to be precise, he is now a major.

That's what Lei Xiong spent nearly ten years earning from a big soldier.

Lei Xiong has never been to a military academy, and his promotion is much slower than that of military academy students. From private to sergeant to second lieutenant, lieutenant and captain, including the majors who have not been issued a military order from Shangfeng after the war the day before yesterday, all the majors who have not yet been issued a promotion. Desperate for it?
But Lei Xiong still chose to disobey the order, and blatantly disobeyed the order in front of the third person in the division.

Even a lieutenant colonel may not be able to keep his rank. He should be sad for his ten years of hard work!

It's just that they, after all, are not Lei Xiong himself, after all, they only vaguely understand.

In the dim light, Lei Xiong suddenly raised his head. The tough guy who had been shot in the arm and dug out the bullet with a bayonet and never frowned, his face was already full of tears.

"Lei Xiong, you've turned the world upside down, stop me." The lieutenant colonel, who hadn't spoken for a long time, twitched his eyes and hissed.

Based on what he knew about this titan under his command, he seemed to have an extremely bad premonition, which was worse than that he would rather disobey orders than abandon his soldiers as a 'strong man cut his wrist'.

"Regiment deputy, I'm really sorry, Lei Xiong can't be your soldier anymore." Lei Xiong gave the lieutenant colonel a deep look.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, tore off his captain's collar badge, held it in his hand, and shouted at the major general, "Sir, now that I'm not a soldier of the 88th Division, it's not considered a violation of the order!"

The major general's body trembled violently, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of the sky.

He knew all too well what this meant. This army captain, who was famous for his bravery, would rather give up the rank of major and even all the benefits he had already obtained in order to live and die with his soldiers.

Perhaps, from the moment he chose to disobey orders and refuse to live alone, these things are not so important to him anymore!
"Tang Dao, Lei Xiong is a bastard, you." The pale major general wanted to make the last effort, and turned his attention to Tang Dao and the other officers and soldiers standing upright: "And you, don't be stupid."

However, the next moment, the general, who wanted to make the last effort, couldn't say a word.

Under the gaze of more than [-] Chinese soldiers with tears in their eyes, the garrison in the concession was dumbfounded.

"Remove the collar badge!" Tang Dao roared softly.

The dozens of Chinese soldiers who could be seen in the field of vision were tall and straight, and solemnly took off their military ranks.

From lieutenant to second lieutenant to sergeant, and then to the most common private.

Their eyes were full of reluctance, but they were extremely determined.

The extremely contradictory pictures made all the Chinese soldiers present feel heartbroken.

Because they all know what that means.

That means, from this second, they are not the army recognized by the state, the soldiers recognized by the state, but a volunteer army composed of a group of ordinary people.

They will not have support and will not be treated.

Victory, no military exploits!
Die in battle, no pension!
If you lose the battle, you will be massacred at will!

Even, they will not be recognized, recognized by their own country, together with their insistence on not abandoning their comrades in battle.

"Officers, brothers, I'm sorry, Tang Dao can't be your robe anymore. Because the Japanese devils are still staring at this side, as soon as we get on the bridge, they will send out signal flares to carry out surveillance on the bridge deck. Blockade, brothers who leave cover will surely die.

Tang Dao made an oath that he would never leave his comrades-in-arms again. Therefore, since the Japanese want us to stay here, then my brothers and I will accompany them to fight to the death. If you want our lives, it depends on how much they spend. A dog's life in exchange. "Tang Dao's eyes were very different, and his passionate voice wafted over Suzhou Creek.

"Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, you two bastards are really good! I don't want to exchange your life for my life, do I? I respect your ancestors!" Yang Ruifu, who has always rarely expressed his personal opinions, showed Bloody, pointing at the opposite side and scolding.

"Brothers, take the guy and fight back with me, and tell those bastards that I don't care about them."

The major who was emotionally yelling and screaming was held tightly by the shoulder by the lieutenant colonel.

"Regiment deputy!" The major turned to look at his officer, his eyes full of pleading.

On the opposite side are all his soldiers.

Tang Dao and Lei Xiong could choose to stay and die together for their soldiers, so couldn't he, the battalion commander, not be able to?He can too.

"Rui Fu, you can't make it through." The lieutenant colonel sighed.

"Haha, Battalion Commander, you can scold vigorously, anyway, I will make you feel special." Lei Xiong responded with a long smile when he was scolded here. "During the holidays, remember to serve me a bowl of fatty meat. You know, I'm the rarest one."

"Li Jiujin, why are you still standing there, explode." Tang Dao's cold roar followed.

The Army Major looked towards the Suzhou River Bridge in disbelief.

A few soldiers who had been staying at the bridgehead in the direction of the warehouse had quietly placed a few explosive packets under the bridge at some point, and the long fuse was held in the hands of the veteran lying in the dark.

"Li Jiujin, you are so daring!" The Army Major's eyes were about to split.

But obviously, for a group of people who had already regarded death as home, the battalion commander's words were not easy to use.

There was no answer, the match was struck, and the sizzle of the fuse was heard.

In the dark, Li Jiujin took a few soldiers and ran away, ran to the waterway connecting the warehouse and the Suzhou River, jumped into the river and dived into the water.

"Brothers, goodbye!" Tang Dao saluted again, turned and left the window without any regrets.

"Return!" The lieutenant colonel ordered through gritted teeth.

Hundreds of Chinese soldiers, including major generals of the army, raised their right hands high and raised their eyebrows.

For this general, it was the first time in his life to salute a group of disobedient military orders, and it may be the only time in his life.

Because those people violated the military order not for survival, but for death!

As a soldier, why should he not express his respect to such soldiers?

All the western garrisons near the bank of the Suzhou River, under the reminder of Colonel James who came to their senses, fell to the ground in fright, or hid in field fortifications.

They don't understand why these Chinese are crazy. The ones on the other side blow up the bridge regardless of the river; the ones on this side are still standing stupidly, waiting for the air waves and gravel to come and smash them to death?

"The whole army retreats 20 meters, lie down!" The lieutenant colonel, who tried to keep calm in return, glanced contemptuously at the Western soldiers who had already been scared and lying on the ground, and ordered again.

Nearly [-] big men retreated and fell down according to the order.

I don't know how many people stuck their faces to the ground.

The huge power of the explosives can blow up the bridge, and the air waves can blow people tens of meters away. This is not the reason why these tough guys cover their faces with the ground.

Rather, they were afraid that they could no longer hold back the unscrupulous tears that began to flow on their faces, and be seen by those Westerners.

How can they not cry?

That is the only way out!When it explodes, it's gone.

They cannot pass, and their brothers cannot return.

The last goodbye Tang Dao said was never to see each other again.
