The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Talking about defending the country does not resonate with these people. What is the country and the family? In the eyes of these soldiers of the national army, there is no measure. They live at the bottom and do not have any concept of the country. What, in their eyes, there is no country, only home, but war, oppression, exploitation, let their home also die.

There is no country at all, and the only home is gradually lost. They are left with a group of soulless soldiers who live in the present only for pleasure.

Going to the battlefield to die is just a series of cold numbers to the superiors. They can have as many such numbers as they want. The most important thing in China is people.

Talking about the country with them is worse than talking about a meal of noodles stewed with pork and cabbage.

Company Commander Xu glanced at Xia Yuan unexpectedly, with some appreciation in his eyes.

Unlike Company Commander Xu, Company Commander Cao's expression suddenly became embarrassing. He and Cao Jiayao had been fighting openly and secretly for not a day or two. The battle between the two was basically a draw. The battalion commander would not look at the two soldiers in the battalion. The company commander has been fighting all the time, and it is the same now. The two hold their own opinions. As long as they insist on it, these people are soldiers who escaped from the battlefield, and Cao Jiayao has nothing to do with him.

Who would have thought that there would be an accident at a critical moment? He never imagined that Xia Yuan could say such thoughtful words, which even aroused the sympathy and resonance of the other soldiers around him. After he finished speaking, he immediately fell down. downwind.

The soldiers around looked at him with something wrong.

Company Commander Cao held back for a while, but before he could speak, Company Commander Xu laughed: "Well said! Hahahaha! They're all on the battlefield, how can they be deserters, not to mention that they retreated with the retreating troops this morning. Feng gave the order to retreat, Lao Cao, what is going on with you, you are used to being arrogant on weekdays, in front of so many people, you want to mutilate the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield? Isn't that bad?"

"You spit out blood!"

Company Commander Cao held back for a long time, blushing and thick neck.

"That's all right, all right, don't deal with what you have, return the weapons and equipment to others, you still owe a few guns, you want to go to the battlefield and seize them yourself." Company Commander Xu stood here, even if Company Commander Cao There is no way to deal with these soldiers, not to mention that he is now at a disadvantage.

I could only crush my teeth, swallowed it, glanced at the pig's head, and said, "Go and get all their equipment."

"Company Commander!" Zhu Tou said angrily, wanting to struggle.

"Go!" Company Commander Cao glared at this guy. The situation is going to be a big one right now, which is definitely not good for him. It is best to deal with it calmly, return the things to the guys in the new barracks in front of him, and deal with them later when there is an opportunity.

There are officers passing by on horseback, and the guards around these officers are among the people who surround them.If he really wanted to use the gun, he would not be able to keep his position as company commander.

Two crooked handles, some machine gun ammunition, one rifle, five bullet clips, some grenades, seven military water jugs, eight bayonet handles. The pile of things on the ground stunned the surrounding soldiers, as well as Company Commander Xu. .

His lips murmured for a long time. If it is a few guns, it is actually okay. The Japanese devils have a lot of rifles on the battlefield. If you kill the little Japanese devils, you can pick up their weapons and equipment from the corpses of the Japanese devils. Their company Many people picked up the rifles of the Japanese devils. The Japanese devils had long bayonets, long rifles, and high accuracy.

The few Yu soldiers who came from Yudi in front of them only had three spears to survive.

I never expected that it turned out to be two crooked handles and a lot of machine gun bullets. There were five bullet clips used by the Japanese devils to load rifle bullets. I don’t know how many rifle bullets were loaded in them. There are also military canteens, bayonets and so on.

Company Commander Xu asked: "How many Japanese devils have you eliminated?"

Xia Yuan said, "Sir, we wiped out a platoon of Japanese devils."

A row!

Xia Yuan's words immediately caused quite a stir.

"Bragging, just five of them, can wipe out a platoon of Japanese devils?"

"It's really like killing chickens to beat the Japanese devils. How can we wipe out the Japanese devils so easily."

The soldiers around obviously didn't believe what Xia Yuan said. A group of recruits, who went to the battlefield for the first time, fired their first shots on the battlefield. They could win more with less and wipe out a platoon of Japanese devils. Who would believe it.

But there are two crooked handles in front of him, and it has to be believed.

In fact, they also seized the grenadiers of the Japanese devils and a lot of shells, assisted a company that attacked the Japanese army to occupy the house, and wiped out about one squad of Japanese devils, but the company commander of that company and the company commander Cao in front of him With a ghostly look, he couldn't walk when he saw the good equipment, and he killed Xu Liu.

Xia Yuan shot and killed the company commander mercilessly, so naturally he couldn't tell the story.

Company Commander Xu pondered, and said: "If you trust me and follow me with your weapons and equipment, I will help you find your company. In addition, I will not interfere with your private affairs."

Xia Yuan and Zhao platoon leader looked at each other, nodded and said: "Sir, we trust you."

"Let's go." Company Commander Xu patted Xia Yuan and Platoon Commander Zhao on the shoulders, regardless of whether what they said was true or not, he followed his company, and everything became clear when he arrived on the battlefield.

Xia Yuan glanced at Platoon Leader Zhao, and picked up his own things on the ground. Platoon Leader Zhao cursed, "Get over here, take your things, go, you bastard, you're lucky this time, but you have to give Be careful, old man, don't let old man catch you."

Niu Hai was taken aback for a while, and the play that had been acting for a long time ended like this?Feeling a little uncomfortable.

He picked up the weapons and equipment on the ground, and the three left with their things on their backs.

All three of them left, and the gathered crowd dispersed. Only Company Commander Cao stared at the backs of Xia Yuan and the three of them with gloomy eyes, and turned his head to look around.

"Company commander, they are missing two people." Zhu Tou noticed something, stepped forward and said.

"I know, they are missing two people, what about those two people? Ask other people in the company." Company Commander Cao looked back and said.

"Yes!"

Zhu Tou came and went in a hurry, and came back soon, with an embarrassing expression: "Company Commander, some soldiers have seen those two people, and they have gone back."

"gone back?"

Pig head explained: "Just go to the place where they followed."

Company Commander Cao was stunned for a moment and asked, "After you went back, you never came back?"

"I haven't come back, I haven't seen you." Pig head shook his head.

Company Commander Cao is a smart man, he immediately thought of something, and cursed: "Well, well, that's the way it is, and you actually want to set me up!"

Zhu Tou asked confusedly: "Company commander, are they going to set you up? What kind of set?"

Zhu Tou obviously didn't react, Company Commander Cao is a fine person, he saw clearly, reacted, and said: "The one who was beaten was injured before, pretending to be beaten, let us mistakenly think that the injury on his body was caused by that recruit The platoon leader shot it out. As for the two soldiers who left, they took the gold jewelry in the platoon leader’s mouth and hid it. When I went to the ditch, they would take me to find the gold jewelry. Take the opportunity to ambush."

"Damn! These people are so mean!" Zhu Tou scolded: "Company Commander, what are we going to do?"

"You can't let them go so easily, find a chance, and kill them!"

"it is good!"

The scholar and Zheng Dayong returned to the team, and were called back by Niu Hai. There was no gold jewelry, it was just bait. The two of them were indeed in ambush, at the place where they rested last night.No one thought that there would be an accident in the middle.

Xia Yuan didn't prepare any contingency plans either, relying entirely on improvisation.

"Can you trust Company Commander Xu?"

Platoon Leader Zhao didn't have much affection for the officers of the Central Army. He met two officers one after another. One officer killed Xu Liu. When he was about to kill the scholar and Niu Hai, Xia Yuan shot in time. Otherwise, the scholar and Niu Hai would be killed. It's hard to say what the fate is.

The No.2 officer I met was Company Commander Cao. He was also a guy who ate people and didn't spit out his bones. He took away all the weapons and equipment on their bodies. Wearing the raincoat of the Japanese devils and walking on the road, that is called a deserter.

On the contrary, it is better if there are weapons and equipment.

"I've observed his behavior before, and it seems to be quite sincere. I don't make a decision for the time being. I will follow up first. I will let Niu Hai call the scholar and Zheng Dayong over later."

Xia Yuan thought for a while, but couldn't make up his mind for the time being. The situation in the Songhu battlefield was quite complicated. In the middle and late stages, there were too many defeated soldiers. Among the fleeing soldiers, they came from different provinces. There were too many and too complicated. , his mission is to complete the Battle of Songhu, once he leaves, the mission may fail.

No matter how Platoon Leader Zhao and the others choose, Xia Yuan will definitely stay on the Songhu battlefield and wait for the end of the Songhu battle.

Platoon leader Zhao couldn't make a choice. After thinking for a moment, he decided to believe what Xia Yuan said. After a night of fighting, Xia Yuan's combat effectiveness impressed him, and he belonged to the same type of scholar.

"I believe you."

"What are you muttering behind?" Company Commander Xu stood on a broken earth wall and looked back at Xia Yuan and Platoon Commander Zhao.

"Sir, where is Eighth Company?"

The Eighth Company is the company of Company Commander Xu, and it belongs to the [-]st Regiment. Xia Yuan looked around, but he didn't see a company here. Instead, he saw a lot of broken soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. Sitting on the ground, distraught, the military uniforms on their bodies were scratched by bullets, as if they were rolling in the mud, their bodies were dirty, the rain soaked their military uniforms and stuck to their bodies, and many soldiers were wrapped in bandages. Soaked in blood, drenched in heavy rain.

Decadent, messy, and lifeless.

When Xu Lianchang pointed to the company in front of him and told Xia Yuan that it was their Eighth Company, the five of them were a little dazed. They couldn't connect the disgraced and dirty soldiers in front of them with the Eighth Company of the Central Army.

"Why don't you talk, doesn't it look like it?" Xu Lianchang smiled, his smiling face was covered with gunpowder smoke and mud, the drizzle was like mist on his face, his expression revealed a trace of sadness, sitting He didn't care about the mud under his buttocks on the broken earth wall. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and squeezed them. The rainwater had already soaked the cigarettes, and the cigarettes were already rotten when he took them out.

He stuffed it into his pocket in disappointment, but didn't throw it away.

"Whoa, it's still usable."

Seeing that the five people were silent, Company Commander Xu said to himself: "I brought out the Eighth Company by myself. I treat it like my own child. I have never beaten or scolded every soldier in the company. Because when I get to the battlefield, I have to hand over my back to them, hey, tell me, am I a good company commander?"

The five people didn't understand what Company Commander Xu said, and they didn't know why the company commander in front of him wanted to tell them these things.

Zheng Dayong said: "You are a good company commander."

Company Commander Xu murmured: "Okay? I pushed them to the battlefield to fight the little Japanese devils. There are more than 100 people in the Eighth Company, and there are only thirty or so people left, and half of them are wounded."

Zheng Dayong was stunned for a while, he had nothing to say, he could no longer define good or bad.He was kind to the soldiers because Company Commander Xu didn’t beat and scold the soldiers of the Eighth Company. The scholar thought of the situation in which their company was beaten and scolded during the previous training. Everyone knows that you will not be beaten and scolded if you are obedient, but other The beatings in the company were very miserable. You were beaten on the buttocks with a stick as thick as your arm. After the beating, you couldn't get up at all the next day, and you were dragged to training.

Whipping with a whip is common.

Compared with them, Company Commander Xu is already a good company commander.

"Have you ever read?" Company Commander Xu asked the scholar again.

"Yes, I studied in a private school." The scholar didn't reveal too much, and he would lose his words if he said too much.

"Tell me, I am good or bad, and scholars are the best at distinguishing right from wrong." Company Commander Xu seemed to want to make a clear distinction.

The scholar looked at Xia Yuan, hesitating.

"Scholars are also so goofy." Company Commander Xu was a little dissatisfied.

"Sir, it's actually very simple to define your good or bad, you just need to look at it from your starting point."

At the critical moment, Xia Yuan stepped forward.

"Point of departure?"

"Why don't you beat or scold the soldiers?"

"They are all miserable people who have lost their homes. They will die when they go to the battlefield. Staying in the barracks may be the only place where they feel safe."

"Why do you let soldiers go to the battlefield to fight devils?"

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Although the superiors did not give orders to the eighth company, I volunteered to volunteer. I didn't expect that the cruelty of the war was beyond imagination. In one company, these people were the only ones who died."

Company Commander Xu looked a little distressed. He blamed himself for what he had done. If he hadn't volunteered and went to the battalion to ask for a fight, maybe the Eighth Company would have been fine.

No possibility, Xia Yuan knew that if the Eighth Company is not going up now, it will definitely go up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Whether the Eighth Company will be able to come back is still a question. At least at night when the Japanese army’s combat power is reduced, more than 30 of them can come back alive. It has been very difficult.

"You are a good company commander."
