The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1801 Language is an art

"Who knocked the horse down? Raise your hands." Hou Kanshan shouted loudly in the woods.

After Hou Kanshan said this, the machine gunners who were originally grinning there raised their hands despite their exaggerated expressions, and did not forget to look at their companions.

"Oh, very good! How many horses did you knock down? How many carts did you knock down? Hey, Liu Hengtai, why didn't you raise your hand? You didn't hit any one?" Hou Kanshan first praised and then asked.

"I——" The man named Liu Hengtai hesitated to speak. He was a man with a bad tongue.

"Brother Hou, he hit the Japanese's horse, but he didn't knock the horse down. It seems that the horse was injured and furred!" Liu Hengtai's ammunition man said hurriedly.

"Then you are even more powerful! You injured the horse, and the horse ran again and threw a few Japanese devils to death. Both the man and the horse were killed!" Hou Kanshan, a veteran, praised.

When Hou Kanshan said this, some of the other machine gunners started laughing, although they were grinning.

Liu Hengtai, who has always been very honest and taciturn, also laughed.

  Hou Kanshan's words made this honest man feel very proud!

"Raise your hands if you have knocked down two horses and knocked over the carriage." Hou Kanshan said again.

"Me!" Hu Lielie raised his hand, "Not only did I knock the carriage down, I also gave the Japanese on the carriage a short burst of fire!"

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense about this!" Someone was unhappy when Hu Lie said this. It was another machine gunner in their company named Shi Laosi.

Shi Laosi is serious about everything. Everyone knows that Shi Laosi and Hu Lielie don't get along. According to Hu Lielie's evaluation of Shi Laosi, he is like a smelly and hard shit in the toilet!

"Just because you didn't hit him doesn't mean I didn't hit him, and I was the last one to retreat!" Hu Lielie retorted.

"I can prove it! Lao Hu was indeed the last one to retreat." The ammunition handler, who was also talking nonsense, also testified for him.

Except for the machine gunners, the ammunition handlers that Chu Tian brought with him were all capable of running and fighting, because they were afraid that if they ran too slowly, their own people would suffer casualties.

Since it is a temporary pairing, there is naturally no false testimony involved.

When Shi Laosi saw that his attack on Hu Lielie failed, he argued: "Why are you the last one to retreat? The last one to retreat was the company commander! Were you just covering him from behind?"

"Who was providing cover from behind? I wasn't providing any cover. I was the last one to retreat from the machine gunner!" Hu Lielie got angry when he saw that Shi Laosi was still attacking him, so he started to defend himself.

"Even if you provide cover, you won't get any credit! The company commander has already said that our goal this time is to knock down the Japanese carriage and try to avoid any casualties.

If you were to die in the back while providing cover, you would be disobeying orders!" Shi Laosi fully demonstrated what it means to be two-faced.

"Hey, Teacher Shi, you Wang--" Hu Lielie was so anxious that he was about to start cursing.

"Enough! Enough! What are you talking about? Let's talk business!" Hou Kanshan interrupted the nonsense and said, "Count how many carriages we have knocked down? How many carriages can the Japanese still use?"

What Hou Kanshan said must be effective.

Northeastern people have a saying: "If your butt isn't hanging long, your fart won't make any noise."

This "长" refers to the "长" after squad leader, platoon leader and company commander.

It is true that there is no "长" hanging behind Hou Kanshan's butt, but that doesn't mean that his words are not effective.

The reason why he doesn't have a boss hanging behind him is that he doesn't want to be one!

If we talk about commanding battles and being brave in combat, he is fully qualified. That is because the three company commanders have to consult him before fighting, so he has prestige among the soldiers. Seeing that Hou Kanshan was unhappy, the machine gunners stopped arguing and continued to talk about hitting the horse carriages. The result of Hou Kanshan's statistics was just as Chu Tian said before the battle, about 16 or 17 horses were hit.

But the problem is that most of the carriages that the Japanese army brought this time were horse-drawn carts, which means that most of them were pulled by three horses together. Even if you knocked down a group of them, the remaining two horses would pull the cart.

Therefore, if they wanted to delay the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, they had to find a way to kill the remaining horses pulling the carts. This would slow down the Japanese army's marching speed. Even if the Japanese army reached Shuiquan Town and grabbed the food, they would not be able to take it back.

"I say, Shi Lao Si, you two should stop talking nonsense. If you are really capable, let's see who can knock down more Japanese horses next time.

Many of our Northeast Army brothers, whether you know them or not, have died fighting the Japanese. You should think more about avenging your brothers. It's annoying to keep talking nonsense like a woman!" Hou Kanshan stood up and said this before going to find Chu Tian.

Many years have passed since the tragedy of Hou Kanshan’s wife and children. Perhaps it was the passage of time and what Leng Xiaozhi said that played a role, as Hou Kanshan now talks more than before.

Not to mention the role of time, the dead are gone, and the living must always consider the living.

After Leng Xiaozhi reunited with Shang Zhen and other old men, Leng Xiaozhi, who was good at ideological work, advised Hou Kanshan, "Brother Hou, when you are free, please help Shang Zhen more. What can he do alone? Doesn't he still rely on the help of his brothers?"

Let's not talk about Shang Zhen, let's talk about you old men, how many of you are there? To fight the Japanese, we still need all the soldiers.

It has to be said that Leng Xiaozhi is really good at talking now.

Then Leng Xiaozhi repeated this idea to all the soldiers, saying that to fight the Japanese, we cannot rely solely on soldiers like you, and we cannot take a purely military approach.

You must have good discipline and unite all those who can be united, such as friendly forces and ordinary people.

  The more people we unite, the more strength we will have, and we will definitely be able to drive the Japanese devils back to Japan!

Leng Xiaozhi explained the lofty Anti-Japanese United Front in such a simple way that these words touched the hearts of all the soldiers. According to later generations, these words went straight to the depths of their souls!

It is said that working together as a man and a woman is less tiring, which is naturally true. Sometimes, what Leng Xiaozhi said is more effective than what Shang Zhen said.

Northeastern men are very manly and always have a bit of male chauvinism.

The soldiers thought, if a delicate woman like Leng Xiaozhi followed the Eighth Route Army, which only had a few broken guns, and fought against the Japanese devils and refused to surrender, then what were these rough men in the Northeast Army lacking?

People grow in life, and so do warriors.

Hou Kanshan is not a stupid person, or rather a very smart person.

If he was a stupid man, could he have found a female student to be his wife?

Retiring to the countryside to live with his wife and children has always been Wang Laomao's ideal.

  Wang Laomao was in his fifties when he finally achieved his goal, but Hou Kanshan did it shortly after the September 18 Incident. If it had not been for his later experience, he would definitely be a winner in life!

Comparing the two, do you think Hou Kanshan is smart?

Because of this, Hou Kanshan, who was familiar with the psychology of soldiers, did not say who was right or wrong between Hu Lielie and Shi Laosi in such a small matter, but compared them with those officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who died. The implication was that you are still alive, and others have died for you, so why are you talking nonsense here? If you have the energy, go and use it on the Japanese devils!

With just a few simple words, he made Hu Lielie and Shi Laosi feel ashamed of themselves and shifted their emotions to hatred towards the Japanese army. This was much smarter than arguing over trivial matters!

So Hou Kanshan went to Chu Tian to discuss how to fight the next battle, while Hu Lielie and Shi Laosi glared at each other and said nothing more.

However, both of them were thinking silently about how to defeat the Japanese next time to make themselves look good and how to make the enemy lose face so as to embarrass the other party!
