Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 983 Excellence is Original Sin!

4 Month 15 Day!
Linfen, a major city in Jin Province!

The temporary station of the Second Theater Command of China.

Luo Wanjian, as a sergeant squad leader of the 19th Brigade of the 68th Division of the 210th Army of the Jinsui Army, is on duty at the city gate today.

To put it bluntly, during this war, the city gate guards were responsible for checking the bags of people entering and leaving the city gates and looking for suspicious persons.

The Japanese army is aggressively increasing its troops to the last big city in Jin Province, and spies are flying all over the sky. Linfen, where the headquarters of the Second Theater Command is located, is already under martial law. Two of the four city gates are closed, leaving only the city facing Shaanxi The two city gates in the province are still open for people to enter and exit normally.

Luo Wanjian was not a recruit, he had been in the army for four or five years and he was only a first-class soldier. As a result, a battle to defend the original city was fought. Three squad leaders and two squad officers were killed in his original infantry squad. He had been in the army for four years. Half of the soldiers turned out to be the oldest in the infantry squad, not to mention the fire line was promoted to squad leader, and the rank was also promoted to sergeant.

But at that time, Luo Wanjian was not happy at all, but more fearful. There were only four people left in an infantry squad, so this squad leader was basically equated with death!At that time, he especially hated the crappy name his father had given him. Judging from the ending, it seemed like a thousand arrows were fired, it was a thousand arrows piercing the heart!

The Japanese are throwing bombs from the sky and bombarding them underground, so they don't leave any way for people to survive!

A miracle happened like this. On the second day after being promoted to squad leader, the army began to retreat. Then the original city was lost, Jinbei was lost, Jinxi was also lost, Jindong and Jinnan were almost gone, everyone Just stay in this small area in the southeast of Shanxi and linger on.

The province of Jin is almost gone, and there are less than 30 soldiers left in the powerful Jinsui army with a strength of 10. But for Luo Wanjian personally, the official has also been promoted and his life has been saved. up.The army sergeant who survived by chance was basically desperate for the battlefield. His greatest wish at the moment was not whether he could defend the last piece of land in his hometown, but when he could continue to retreat to Shaanxi Province. At any rate, there is still a natural moat of the Yellow River.

Perhaps, this is also the truest thought of the vast majority of the tens of thousands of Jinsui troops with low morale. They have completely lost confidence in their "King of Jin Province".

Therefore, Luo Wanjian was not very concerned about the bustling people coming in and out of the city gate. If the Japanese spies want to come, let them come!Anyway, this Linfen city will be lost sooner or later.

The squad leader was like this. The infantry squad soldiers under his command naturally followed suit. They lined up lazily and lined up at the gate of the city with their guns in hand.

Luo Wanjian knew that it was because these guys gambled all night in the barracks yesterday. Anyway, the guy who won the money gave him a piece of silver ocean in the morning as a gift. As the squad leader, he naturally turned a blind eye Close one eye.

The people passing by the city gate are naturally accustomed to this phenomenon. They don't care about the mental state of the soldiers guarding the city gate, as long as they don't make trouble for them. Worrying, but so what?There is no way to solve the problem, only one day at a time.

This should be the current state of life in which the Chinese soldiers and civilians in Linfen City are almost numb.

The battlefield is lost, the city is lost, morale is low, and the people are numb.
At the entrance of the city gate, a big man in a long jacket and top hat frowned as he watched this scene.

Xu squinted his eyes, as if Luo Wanjian, who was wandering in the sky, saw the frown of this big man from the corner of his eye.There is no way, this big man dressed as an ordinary businessman is at least 1 meters tall, which makes it difficult for him, as the captain of the city gate guard, not to notice.

However, judging from his life experience, this big man should have nothing to do with the Japanese, especially when he frowned after seeing the numbness of the soldiers and civilians, Luo Wanjian's intuition told him that this is definitely a man with enough Chinese people with a sense of justice.

Because, looking at the state of the soldiers under him, even he himself disliked it, let alone other people.

However, he is just a small squad leader, what can he change?He took the whip and whipped the soldiers who had just put down their hoes for a few days, so he could win this must-lose battle?Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't want to be like his predecessors, who don't even have a straw mat after death, so just dig a shallow pit and bury him.

Moreover, seeing that the big man is accompanied by two attendants and a big dog, Luo Wanjian can basically judge this man's net worth, not to mention rich and powerful, at least he is a middle-class man, at least he is not a small sergeant squad leader like him Can be provoked.

If you dislike it, let him dislike it!Anyway, he won't lose a piece of meat if he dislikes it. Luo Wanjian quickly glanced at other places from the corner of his eye. As long as he and his infantry squad successfully complete the day's duty, he and his infantry squad will have one night and one day. The silver dollar he collected in the morning was enough for him to sleep all night in Xiaofang's small house with red lanterns.

Thinking of Xiaofang's not-so-slender but plump waist that could twist wildly, Luo Wanjian felt that it was the greatest joy in the world.

However, when Luo Wanjian glanced towards the city gate from the corner of his eyes, and a guy with a sharp-billed monkey cheek like a tuberculosis man in a military uniform with a pistol hanging from his waist appeared in his corner of the eye, Luo Wanjian, the squad leader of the sergeant, slammed The ground trembled.

It's not because this guy is the lieutenant and deputy of his infantry company, the biggest officer on duty at the city gate today, and the boss of his immediate boss, but because something seems to be going wrong.

In a large city where the headquarters of the theater is located, how could it be possible that only one infantry squad is on duty at the gate of the city, where nearly [-] people pass through every day?

There are light machine guns on both sides of the entire city gate, and there are also machine gun fortifications above the city gate. In addition to an infantry squad under Luo Wanjian standing on both sides of the city gate with live ammunition, there is also a fully armed infantry squad inside the fortifications inside and outside the city gate. , There is even an infantry company on standby in the barracks not far from the city gate. No matter how bad a heavily armed infantry platoon is, it can still be done by firing warning shots!
And once there is gunfire, they can all rush to the city gate within 3 minutes, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of infantry divisions of the 68th Division in Linfen City.

Of course, this is nothing. The three lines of defense deployed in the mountains outside Linfen City have a total of 15 troops, and that is the main force to defend Linfen City.

If you want to make troubles in Linfen City, even if they are as powerful as the Japanese, don't have this sweet dream without an infantry regiment, otherwise Luo Wanjian and his gang guarding the city gate will not be so lax.

However, this lieutenant company deputy whose surname is Lao Dao Shiren and gave him the nickname "Finding Death" is an uneasy master. Relying on his sister as the brigade commander's foreign room, he took the initiative to apply for the captain of the squadron on duty at the city gate. Errands.

This janitor job looks very ordinary, but only those who are well-versed in it know that it is lucrative, because it is wartime, and many scarce materials are under wartime control, and private sales are not allowed, such as cigarettes, salt, sugar, Medicines, etc., but these are also urgently needed items for many people. It is said that the price on the underground black market has increased by ten times the highest, and there are huge profits, so some people will take risks.

Going up and bribing the guards at the city gates has become their standard equipment, "Finding dead" Didn't you spend that night in a hotel or a brothel these days?

That's it, this guy is not satisfied, I have to walk around the city gate from time to time, not for anything else, just to take advantage of a few big girls and little daughter-in-law's faces, so that the big guys can shake the city The prestige of the squadron leader on duty.

It's not a big evil, but it's disgusting. Even the soldiers of the Jinsui Army who are lazily coping with errands on duty at the city gate don't look down on their own officer.

But he was surrounded by a major general and brigade commander, not to mention that they couldn't do anything about him, even the battalion and regimental commanders above turned a blind eye.

"Don't make trouble for me!" Luo Wanjian murmured silently in his heart, while bowing his waist and planning to give this man a military salute.

That guy came here to enjoy this feeling!
But what to be afraid of.

"You, come here!" The sharp-faced, monkey-cheeked man looked at the tall and frowning man standing at the entrance of the city gate, and waved his hands in displeasure.

Of course Lao Daoshi was upset, he had seen a lot of good-looking people, but he was handsome but dressed in plain clothes but still expressed dissatisfaction with people he couldn't provoke, this was the problem.

Of course, Lauderstone knew what kind of guys he was leading, but the veterans in the brigade that defended the original city lost [-]% to [-]%, and then there were waves of defeats. But the recruits who have only been two months old can stand at the door with their guns in their hands. What's the matter, they are expected to go to the front line!

If so, Lauderstone, who became a lieutenant after jumping two ranks from a small squad leader in the duty squad, was the first to turn around and run away.

But these cowards are his people, looking down on them means looking down on him, especially being looked down upon by an ordinary guy, the most annoying thing is that this ordinary guy has a good life, smaller than him at 1.65 and thinner like a monkey The face is much stronger.

To put it bluntly, in front of mediocre people, excellence itself is the original sin.

"Sir, what should we do?" Peng Chong, the commander of the guard company who was following Tang Dao, his expression tightened, and he asked in a low voice.

Tang Dao came to Fen this time, of course he would not come quietly, it was reported through the 22nd Army Headquarters and the Second Theater Command, so Tang Dao will personally report to the theater commander about the two wars in Jindong as an excuse.

Although the First Battle of Licheng and the First Battle of Xiangtangpu were both led by the 921 Division, the [-]th Group Army is currently under the jurisdiction of the Second Theater. The general commander who won the battle also has face. A colonel of the army, and a subordinate of the Sichuan Army Group, is far away from a general of the level of the commander of the theater, but the reputation of the Four Elements Regiment is not small, and it is obvious that he came here with the intention of flattering the chief. Smart, how can you not think of it?
Within two days, the theater command replied and agreed.

Tang Dao is also considered a heavy general now, and he also has the task of purchasing supplies and exchanging money. Naturally, he will not take two or three soldiers to Linfen as before, but Tang Dao doesn't want to make too much fanfare. The Japanese spies in the city knew this, so they left all the accompanying troops in a small town ten miles away, and they only took Xia Dayu and Peng Chong, plus a hammer, military uniforms and some identification documents with them. After entering the city to find a place to stay, I will change to the theater headquarters, and then make an appointment to visit that mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of the city, something went wrong just because he frowned at the loose mentality of the guards at the gate.

"Wait and see!" Tang Dao patted and couldn't help but want to reach out to touch Xia Dayu's shoulder at his waist, his expression unchanged. "It's just a clown, why be nervous!"

"Just the few of you! Hurry up and come here!" Lao Deshi raised his hands behind his back and roared coldly.

The surrounding crowd quickly dispersed to the side, leaving Tang Dao three people and one dog at the gate of the city.

Tang Dao took the lead, followed by Peng Chong and Xia Dayu, while Hammer was still curious about the group of people who were looking at them with pity.

Hammer, now he is a real military dog.

Its life is not basking in the sun. When the whole regiment is training, it also runs on the training ground with more than 20 kilograms of stones on its back, and when it goes to the battlefield, it will also wear a Tang knife around its neck. Specially asked Mr. Xiao He to customize a collar with sharp steel thorns for it, and a vest with thin steel plates on the chest and abdomen, an absolute warrior.

As long as it feels murderous, it will immediately issue a low-pitched warning, and once Tang Dao issues a combat command, it will immediately enter the combat state.

Of course, it is obviously not the battlefield it is already familiar with.

There was no murderous intent, but there was a kind of gaze that made Hammer very strange.

It was used to being with those powerful humans, and it couldn't understand why the group of weak humans around it looked at it with such pity.

In the hammer world, including the group of humans with weapons that can kill dogs, if there is a war, it can kill at least several people.

Rabbits can also show mercy to wolves, which is hard to understand with Hammer's current IQ.

"What are you guys doing in this city?" Lao Deshi raised his head to look at Tang Dao, whose head was half bigger than himself, and asked with a cold face.

"Boss, do some small business!" Tang Dao replied sincerely with his head lowered.

"Doing business, and taking care of a dog? It's definitely not a serious business." Lao Deshi looked at Hammer, who was following him shaking his head, and gave Tang Dao a characterization with a cold snort.

Hammer: Why am I not serious?
"Open the suitcase and let me have a look?" Lauderstone ordered coldly.

The people on the side lowered their heads and sighed, this young man from a seemingly good family background is going to be unlucky.

Since 'Finding Death' came to this city gate for a month, no one knows that he has black hands, people with no background have fallen into his hands, at least half of his property has been lost, and he wants to sue, the brigade commander My brother-in-law is the highest defense officer in the East City. Those who are sensible think that they are unlucky and can keep themselves safe. Those who are not sensible are put in sacks and beaten to death in the middle of the night. Personally, no one cares about it.

"What? Is this a guilty conscience?" Lao Deshi obviously enjoyed the quietness of this order, patted the shell gun case on his waist, and protested.

By the way, his eyes flicked to Luo Wanjian's side, signaling him to bring his soldiers, put on his gun and pull the bolt, etc., to help him boost his momentum.

This is an old routine. In the past, Luo Wanjian, the sergeant squad leader, would probably cooperate, and would basically give a few silver dollars to the brothers afterwards to let them drink.

But this time, looking at the young man's tall and straight back, and thinking about the tough face he saw earlier, the army sergeant felt a sense of fear for some reason.

Unexpectedly, the army sergeant slightly waved his hand behind his back, signaling to the soldiers behind him not to act rashly.

Luo Wanjian is a veteran himself, and he usually takes care of the soldiers in the class. Even if he violates military discipline like gambling and drinking, he turns a blind eye to him. The soldiers in the class are convinced by him, seeing him quietly giving orders , and do as he wishes.

As for the saying 'fishing to death', if he didn't have a younger sister who was the brigade commander's wife, who would talk to him!
This is probably the most correct thing Luo Wanjian has done since he grew up.

Seeing that the soldiers in front of the city gate didn't do what he wanted, a wave of anger welled up in 'Catching Death', but before he got angry, his eyes suddenly straightened.

Peng Chong, the commander of the guard company, would have listened to a junior lieutenant. In his suitcase, there was a gift that Tang Tuanzuo wanted to give to the commander of the theater. How could he show it to others like this?
But Tang Dao smiled lightly and motioned him to open it for the owner to take a look at.

The half-opened suitcase was sent to Lao Deshi by Peng Chong, and there were ten large golden croakers in it.

Large yellow croakers are not small yellow croakers. One is ten taels, and ten is 100 taels. If it is exchanged for the ocean, it will cost nearly 2 taels.

Not to mention the little people like "caught to death", even his "brother-in-law" who is expensive as the brigade commander, probably doesn't have many chances to walk around with 2 oceans in cash!If the eyeballs of the dead are not straight, it is a ghost.

Staring at the suitcase for a long time, he swallowed his saliva and tried to move his eyes away when he was "fishing to death". His eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth and looked at the big rucksack on Xia Dayu's back, "Take that as well Open it, let Grandpa take a look."

"Boss, I can't show you that." Tang Dao shook his head. "To put it mildly, your level is not high enough!"

"Bold, you are the squadron leader on guard at the city gate. You are responsible for guarding the security of the city gate. Even if the commander of the war zone passes by me, you have to show your ID card. How old are you? How dare you say that I am not high enough." Lao De Tang Dao's words sounded a little bit embarrassing to Shi Bei, and he suddenly became angry, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled the shell gun out of the gun case and pointed it at Tang Dao.

"Master, I'll see for sure today, do you believe it or not?"

Seeing that this man drew his gun and pointed it at Tang Dao, the hammer, who was originally harmless to humans and animals like a country dog, suddenly became unhappy, and turned his lips, revealing his white teeth. As long as Tang Dao gave a password, it would bite Bite off that guy's wrist.

The atmosphere at the gate of the city suddenly became quiet and almost frozen.

Luo Wanjian was also a little at a loss, he probably didn't expect that young man to be so tyrannical, and even blatantly said that the level of "fishing to death" was not enough.

The squadron leader pulled out his gun. Will his subordinate go up or not?The sergeant's head was buzzing.

Then, he seemed to see the young man turning around and smiling at him, and then said lightly: "Since your baby is so curious, let your baby take a look, I hope you don't regret it."

The army sergeant didn't feel relieved by this, on the contrary, his hair stood on end. He noticed that the young man's wording was no longer a boss, but your son, which is what the superiors in the north call the inferiors.

PS: Chapter 980 was deleted by a river crab, and I haven't found out why. After these two days of revisions, I will find an editor to unblock it.

By the way, ask for a leave of absence for tomorrow. Tomorrow, students will organize online exams. Fengyue will also be grading and correcting papers. It will probably take a whole day to be busy. After tomorrow, Fengyue will have a holiday. I will ask for leave again, even if it is New Year's Eve or the first day of the new year, I will guarantee an update.
