The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2188 The Lonely Warrior

"Do you think the person in front is Shang Zhen?" An officer was looking forward with a telescope in his hand.

With the telescope, it was clear to see. The man in front was riding a donkey with two bags on it.

"Battalion commander, you have a telescope in your hand and you ask me?" The soldier with the officer said dissatisfiedly.

The officer chuckled and didn't mind his soldiers talking to him like that.

At this time, a soldier beside him said, "Captain, there are people coming from behind. They seem to be Zhao Tieying's men."

The officer turned around and looked. Wasn't it true? There were indeed people coming from behind, and there were more people than them. There were only six of them in total, while there were more than twenty people coming later.

"Don't let them chase him, the man in front is ours." The battalion commander said calmly.

At this time, the people behind had already arrived because they were running over.

"Captain Hao!" An officer who rushed over said to the battalion commander.

"This little bastard Shang Zhen has alarmed so many people. I guess everyone in the division is looking for him?" Battalion Commander Hao said with a smile.

The company commander smiled and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Even though he was from Zhao Tieying's regiment, it was not something a company commander like him could say to call Shang Zhen a little bastard. Moreover, he and Battalion Commander Hao were not from the same regiment.

"There is a man riding a donkey ahead. Let's go and take a look. Captain Wang, you guys should look somewhere else." Battalion Commander Hao continued.

The company commander couldn't help but hesitate after hearing what Captain Hao said.

Earlier in the town, he saw a skinny beggar walking into an alley.

But when he asked his soldiers to go and check, the soldier said that the man had jumped into a yard, and they didn't find him.

They searched in this direction and found a gap in the wall, then chased out. But who would have thought that they would meet Captain Hao here again.

Seeing Captain Hao holding a telescope in his hand, the company commander began to wonder.

He is just a company commander, Shang Zhen is the battalion commander, and Battalion Commander Hao is also a battalion commander, so their personal relationships must be better than his.

Now Captain Hao won’t let me go to the front to see. Is there something going on?

But the problem is that the company commander knows that although Battalion Commander Hao is named Hao, he has a bad temper. After all, he is the battalion commander, so it is better not to provoke him if possible.

But at this moment, they suddenly heard the donkey in front of them making "Wooah" and "Wooah" sounds. The donkey had actually stopped, and the person on the donkey had also got off, and it seemed that he was feeding the donkey with grass.

"Then please trouble Captain Hao to go and take a look. We will look somewhere else." The company commander said hurriedly.

Although the company commander couldn't see the face of the man riding the donkey in front of him, he could imagine that the man must have seen them. The man didn't run away but started feeding them hay. He thought that the man was not Shang Zhen's.

"We are all brothers, why should we be polite?" Captain Hao said this in a heroic manner.

The company commander left, and Captain Hao walked forward calmly. At this time, the donkey in front was still bleating "Woo-ah" and "Woo-ah".

The soldiers following him also felt strange. The battalion commander had already said, if Shang Zhen wasn't in front, why were they still moving forward?

But just when they walked to the donkey of the man in front and took a closer look at the man, although the man was dressed in rags, like a beggar, although the man was very thin, like a bamboo pole, and his face looked almost unrecognizable when viewed from the side, but who else could that man be except Shang Zhen?

"What happened to you? Why are you in such a miserable situation?" At this time, Captain Hao spoke.

After Captain Hao said this, the soldiers under his command understood that their battalion commander must have used the telescope to identify that it was Shang Zhen, so he did not let the company commander of the 586th Regiment come over.

"What are you moaning about? I've brought you food, just eat it all!" Shang Zhen, who was teasing the donkey with fodder, said without raising his head.

"Hey, what you said is not right. Who are you talking about?" Captain Hao said angrily.

"This is not your defense zone. You came all the way to see me off. What can I say about you? And you're in such a miserable state? You're lucky enough to be alive." Shang Zhen raised his head and said this after hearing what Captain Hao said.

Who could that battalion commander be? There was only one battalion commander with the surname Hao in the 113th Division, and that was Hao Dali. It cannot be said that Hao Dali and Shang Zhen had the best personal relationship in the 113th Division, but they had the best relationship among officers of the same rank.

"Everyone in the division is looking for you. Why don't you run away when you can?" Hao Dali asked.

"Why should I run? I haven't done anything wrong." Shang Zhen disagreed, but then he explained, "I wanted to leave, but it wouldn't leave."

It was undoubtedly the donkey he was talking about.

Fortunately, the donkey stopped braying and started eating the hay that Shang Zhen threw in front of him.

"Then where are you going next? To find the people in your camp?" Hao Dali asked again.

"Go find my wife." Shang Zhen replied.

At this time, he saw that the donkey was no longer in a bad mood, so he adjusted the saddle on the donkey and was ready to leave.

"Do you have any money in your pocket?" asked Hao Dali.

Shang Zhen shook his head.

Hao Dali took out a bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Shang Zhen's hand.

The bag was heavy, filled with cash.

"Take off your clothes and give them to Captain Shang..." At this time, Hao Dali ordered another soldier under his command.

The soldier was his subordinate who was responsible for gathering intelligence. He usually wore casual clothes and was about the same height as Shang Zhen.

The soldiers would naturally not neglect the battalion commander's order, so they began to take off their clothes.

"I'll just wear this. Don't change. It's winter." Shang Zhen felt sorry for the soldier as he saw him start to take off his clothes.

But before Hao Dali could speak, the soldier smiled and said, "I'm not as good at fighting as Captain Shang, but Captain Shang can wear my clothes. I can brag about it for the rest of my life."

When the soldier said this, Shang Zhen couldn't help but look at him, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Shang Zhen didn't hesitate and started to take off his clothes.

As he took off his clothes, the faces of those who were looking at him changed.

Shang Zhen is too thin now.

In the impression of all of them, it’s not that Shang Zhen is very heavy, but the impression he gives them is that Shang Zhen is undoubtedly capable, even tough.

But what about Shang Zhen now?

He has lost a lot of weight, his calves are almost as thin as a strong man's arm, and Shang Zhen's ribs can be counted on one hand!

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the scar left on Shang Zhen’s right chest. It is dark red and has an obvious sunken shape.

As for the scar, even though it was on the right chest instead of the left, they all found it hard to imagine how Shang Zhen could have survived such a serious injury!

"It is said that even if you don't die, you will still be skinned alive. What you did is not just skinning off, it's simply digging a hole in your chest!" Hao Dali couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you talking about?" Shang Zhen heard the sadness in Hao Dali's tone and said calmly, "As long as we survive, we have to keep fighting the Japanese!"

Shang Zhen rode his donkey slowly away into the distance, and in the eyes of Hao Dali and the others, all that was left was Shang Zhen's lonely figure going away.

"Alas, why can't our Northeast Army retain its people? It makes me feel bad to see Captain Shang leaving alone." A soldier sighed in a low voice, and he also felt unfair for Shang Zhen in his heart.

Hao Dali was also speechless. He reached out and took out a cigarette, and the soldier next to him hurriedly lit it for him. At this time, one of his soldiers said another word.

The sentence was very simple, consisting of only three words, but it left an indelible mark in the hearts of all of Hao Dali and his companions. Those three words were "lone hero".
