The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2245 The Waiting by Mistaken Accident

As time went by, more than a month had passed since the independent brigade exchanged seven prisoners for 20,000 silver dollars from the Japanese army, and the news had spread throughout the northeastern part of Henan.

It was impossible not to spread the word. The people in the independent brigade were average at fighting, but no one was stupid. They just knew how to flatter themselves even though they had not done anything glorious. What's more, they had done such glorious things, so who wouldn't brag about it?

On this day, a soldier was watching the new recruits training from afar, and he started bragging again. Although it was common sense, he couldn't help but talk about it with relish.

"I say, let's stop bragging. Won't the Japanese devils come to take revenge on us?" Seeing his saliva flying all over the place because of his bluffing, one of his companions finally couldn't bear it anymore, because the saliva splashed on his face.

"If we don't brag, will they stop attacking us?" the braggart asked.

When the braggart asked this question, the non-bagger was speechless. Yes, if they didn't brag, would the Japanese devils let their independent brigade go?

"No matter what happens in the future, let's just brag for as long as we can. At least we are happy now when we brag!" the braggart said confidently.

"Why can't I stand your bragging? Hey, move your mouth away, don't blow it in my face." The non-boaster said unhappily, and then he pointed at the officers and soldiers who were training in the distance and said, "Why are you always bragging, as if you were the one who did it. The real culprit is over there!"

After "extorting" 20,000 silver dollars from the Japanese army last time, the fat brigade commander did urge his subordinates to train the soldiers well by taking Shang Zhen's recruit company as an example. But this piece of mud is just mud, how can it be propped up against the wall?

Less than two and a half days after the new experience began, the people below started to complain, but the fat brigade commander just said, "It's like trying to prop up a piece of rotten wood," and just let it go.

So, the only ones still training under the scorching sun are Shang Zhen’s recruit company.

"Look at Captain Shang. Everyone knows that this time it is mainly his credit. The early bird catches the worm!" The person who doesn't brag starts a new topic, trying to attack the braggart.

"Come on, forget it. What's the saying that the early bird catches the worm? The early worm gets caught by the bird, right?" the boaster retorted.

People who brag practice their talking skills every day, so people who don’t brag are naturally no match for them in a verbal battle and can only remain speechless again.

Shang Zhen naturally didn’t know that he had become the subject of other people’s gossip, but even if he knew he wouldn’t take it to heart. His only focus now was on training.

Train your body to its original shape so that you can walk more easily.

Train these recruits to be soldiers so that you can leave with peace of mind.

In the incident of redeeming prisoners for 20,000 oceans, of course Shang Zhen was the main contributor, but the fat brigade commander said nice things, saying that you are such good fighters and you risked your lives, so I have to reward you well.

Really, the fat brigade commander was very friendly. When Shang Zhen looked at his Buddha-like smiling face, the heart of this old soldier came to life a little. When he was wondering why the fat brigade commander would bleed a little, the fat brigade commander said, I will reward you with thirty Type 38 rifles!

Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then he acted very happy and loudly thanked the brigade commander for his kindness.

The fat brigade commander waved his hands and said repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"

What a harmonious and friendly scene this looks like among officers and soldiers!

But Shang Zhen was already complaining in his heart, this fat guy is so stingy!

You have to know that these thirty rifles are actually roughly the same as the ones seized by Shang Zhen and his men last time when they killed the devil. In fact, it is just that the spoils seized by Shang Zhen and his men are given back as prizes to him.

This was a matter of the sheep paying for the wool, and the fat brigade commander got a good deal! As for the 20,000 dollars the Japanese army paid to redeem the seven prisoners, Shang Zhen didn't even see a penny!

Fortunately, Shang Zhen is now a veteran with rich experience. He may not have experienced everything, but he has heard of it.

So what kind of officers are missing from the national army?

They are greedy for money, lustful and addicted to gambling. In their eyes, the army is just a tool for them to achieve the above goals. They don't want to surrender to the Japanese army, but they don't want to stop fighting the devils either. In fact, they are just trying to get by in order to achieve their own selfish interests.

No matter what, at least the thirty Type 38 rifles were returned to me, so I should be content.

But perhaps the fat brigade commander also knew that he was in the wrong, so he provided more food to the recruit company. Although it was still a variety of grains, it still gave Shang Zhen more confidence to intensify training.

Hard work pays off. Now the physical fitness of Shang Zhen and his soldiers is very different from that of more than a month ago.

Shang Zhen always took the lead in training, and the soldiers took him as a role model. But before the training, Shang Zhen was the thinnest one, so the soldiers had no excuse to avoid training.

Now they are no longer the skinny men in name only. It would be better to give me another month or two, Shang Zhen, who was in training, thought silently.

With Shang Zhen's smart brain, he could guess that the Japanese army would definitely retaliate against the Independent Brigade. It had been over a month, and the Japanese army hadn't come yet. He thought it was abnormal.

Forget it, never mind. As long as the Japanese army comes one day later, he can train for one more day. And when the Japanese army really comes, that will be the day he leaves the independent brigade.

Shang Zhen thought so in his mind and continued to train the soldiers of the recruit company day by day.

Since he was certain that the Japanese army would definitely retaliate given their character, he naturally tightened the training.

But he continued to train with his soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, two months passed, but the Japanese army still hadn't arrived!

Shang Zhen finally realized what was wrong.

That day he handed over the task of organizing the soldiers' training to Qian Feng and went to the brigade headquarters himself.

He had to ask, could it be that the Japanese were not coming? Why was he still waiting here like a silly wife waiting for her husband? If he got accurate information that the Japanese were really not coming, then he should leave.

Although he has no idea how to find his wife, Leng Xiaozhi, he would rather travel all over China to find her!

"Hey, isn't this our busy man?" Shang Zhen had not yet entered the brigade headquarters, but was seen by Captain Liu who happened to be coming out of the brigade headquarters.

Shang Zhen also laughed.

He was just looking for some news, and now the person is here.

"I just want to ask, what are the current movements of the Japanese devils? I always feel that with the character of the devils, they won't seek revenge after suffering a loss!" Shang Zhen asked.

Of course he wanted to know the answer, but he was thinking that he didn't know if Captain Liu's level could answer his question.

But Captain Liu's answer was beyond Shang Zhen's expectations. Captain Liu asked in surprise, "You don't even know about this?"

Captain Liu's question left Shang Zhen confused, so he had no choice but to listen.

"This matter is a bit complicated. You know the battle last year, the one in which the army commander was killed." Battalion Commander Liu asked, and Shang Zhen nodded.

"I also heard the brigade commander say this during the meeting: the Japs were attacking and we were defending.

But when our war zone commander saw that we could not defeat the Japanese devils, he withdrew our troops.

However, this retreat actually formed an encirclement around the Japanese devils.

So now the Japanese devils will not attack again, but have started to return. The message from Commander Wang said that the Japanese devils are going to take Commander Wang and his people away. "Captain Liu introduced.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that he had waited in vain. It was a waste of his time waiting!

Shang Zhen was a little stunned because the answer was so unexpected.

Captain Liu looked at Shang Zhen curiously. Of course, he didn't know what Shang Zhen was thinking, so he smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, kid? I see your soldiers are all fat, but why are you still as thin as a stick?"

Shang Zhen finally reacted and answered casually: "I was born thin."

Captain Liu laughed, but he didn't know that Shang Zhen had almost recovered during this period of time. However, Shang Zhen didn't want to become the focus of attention, so he deliberately found a large-sized military uniform to put on. Wouldn't that make him look thinner?

Since the Japanese are not coming anymore, I have to leave no matter what, Shang Zhen thought on the way back to the company.
