Chapter 2349 Contrast
Shang Zhen ignored the female team members' chatter and directly ordered: "Pick up these guns in front of you, the Japanese will catch up soon."

After saying that, he turned and ran forward, changing his magazine as he ran.

He had just killed five Japanese soldiers who were besieging the female team members. The remaining Japanese soldiers fled into the mountains and forests when they saw that the situation was not right.

Shang Zhen had to bring these female team members back safely.

Now that he is back, it is natural that he is the last one to come.

Shang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Japanese army did not catch up with him. Only then did he feel the piercing pain in his left hand.

When he opened his palms, he saw that they were covered in blood, and he could also see a few tiny thorns on the palms of his hands, which were left by the stems of the prickly ash when he slipped down from the mountain.

Now, when he saw the stab wound on his left hand, he felt a burning pain on his back.

Yes, no one can see the back of his own head in this life, but Shang Zhen also knew that as he slid down from the hill, his back must have been rubbed!

Shang Zhen couldn't help but grin, but then he felt relieved. As long as he was still alive and had no broken bones, this minor injury wouldn't be a big deal!
"Oh, Captain, are you hurt?" A woman's voice sounded beside him. It was the third female team member who ran over and noticed his left hand that was covered in blood.

"They are just flesh wounds, nothing serious!" Shang Zhen replied, and then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I thought there were some Japanese soldiers killed by you over here, so you should pick up those guns as well." The third brother replied.

"We don't need those guns anymore. We already have one gun each. Who knows where those escaped Japanese soldiers are hiding?" Shang Zhen said.

The third brother said "Oh" and ran back.

At this time, of course, retreat is the most important thing. How much effort would it take to pick up a few guns and remove all the belt bullet boxes from the Japanese corpses? It only took a while for Shang Zhen and his men to retreat.

Ten minutes later, when they reached a safe place in the mountains and hid, Shang Zhen finally had time to ask how the female team members were doing when he was not there.

The female team members started talking again, but at this time, the youngest one said, "Even if that's what you said, how can the boss just listen to what one person says? Let me say it."

Xiao Laoqi gave a brief account of how they fired at the Japanese army, were chased by them, first got rid of them, then heard the sound of a box gun, and exposed themselves again.

"You are the one who made all the decisions?" Shang Zhen looked at Xiao Laoqi seriously with some surprise.

"More or less. She was the one who arranged both shootings anyway." The leader of the female team members replied.

"Everyone did a good job. Little Laoqi performed especially well!" Shang Zhen was not stingy with his praise.

When Shang Zhen said this, Xiao Laoqi's face suddenly turned red: "Everyone did a good job."

"But there are also disadvantages. You are just guarding a small hill. If I don't come back, you basically--" Shang Zhen didn't finish his words.

"We are not afraid!" the female team members answered in unison.

"When we saw our family members being killed by the Japanese devils, and we decided to follow you to fight the devils, our lives no longer belonged to ourselves." Little Laoqi was the first to express his opinion.

At this time, Shang Zhen looked at the ground, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Shang Zhen said, "When I'm not around, you need someone to take charge. From now on, Xiao Laoqi will be in charge."

"Can I do it?" Little Laoqi was not confident.

"If I say it's okay, it's okay. That's it. Don't think that being a small boss will do you any good. Just look at me and you will know." Shang Zhen said.

After Shang Zhen said this, not only Xiao Laoqi, but also the other team members all shut up. Yes, is it that easy to be a small leader? Just look at Shang Zhen's miserable appearance now.

The thorns on the stem of the hawthorn tree had not yet been pulled out of his palm, but his back was already covered in mud and blood. It was not clear how serious the injury was, but it was painful just to look at it!

All the female team members did not know what Shang Zhen was really thinking at this moment.

At this moment, Shang Zhen's heart was filled with emotion.

Some of the new recruits in the company he is leading now do not have a strong fighting spirit, and this is even more so for the veterans in the small company.

Shang Zhen dared to guarantee that no matter whether he was responsible for covering the retreat or luring the Japanese devils away, many soldiers might not come to support him at that time.

But these were female soldiers who were participating in a battle for the first time, so they went there bravely.

Although the combat skills of those veteran soldiers cannot be said to be very high, they are definitely stronger than the female soldiers in front of them.

But their minds were all focused on how to save their lives, rather than fighting the Japanese invaders to the end.

This is a fundamental difference!
Shang Zhen did not bring the female team members to pick up Xiao Boji and his own people. It is said that male and female soldiers are the same on the battlefield, but how can they really be the same?
If a male soldier was captured by the Japanese army, he would most likely be imprisoned somewhere by the Japanese army to do hard labor. However, if a female soldier was captured by the Japanese army, her fate could be imagined.

Given Shang Zhen's personality, it is impossible for him to let these female soldiers rescue the male soldiers who should be more powerful than them.

Now Shang Zhen could only listen to the sparse gunshots in the distance and judge the development of the situation, hoping that Xiao Baozi could bring his people to meet him smoothly, so as to finally escape the Japanese army's pursuit.

What Shang Zhen didn't know was that the thing that had puzzled him just now, that is, the issue of will to fight against the Japanese, was also being solved by Xiao Boji.

Xiao Boji, his company's men, and Qian Fenghusheng and others have temporarily escaped from the Japanese army's pursuit. At this time, he was scanning the row of soldiers standing in front of him.

There were ten soldiers in total, and each of them either had a droopy head or a shifty look in their eyes. In any case, they didn't dare to meet his gaze.

"Okay, you guys are great." Xiao Boji said while looking at the ten soldiers.

Anyone could tell that what Xiao Boji said was sarcasm, and the ten soldiers were only thinking about how Xiao Boji would punish them.

Xiao Boji brought less than a squad of people to support Hu Sheng, Qian Feng and others. In order to successfully get rid of the Japanese army, he let the remaining two platoons of people ambush as support.

When Xiao Boji and Shang Zhen's company ran over, the soldiers ambushing on the hill also opened fire on the Japanese army, and Xiao Boji and his men were able to retreat calmly.

But when all of them retreated, Xiao Boji noticed that these ten soldiers ran out from the woods behind the hill and rejoined their team.

Is there any need to ask what this means?
Regardless of whether these ten soldiers shot at the Japanese army when Xiao Boji and his men appeared, the ten soldiers ran away before Xiao Boji and his men were safe!

And this is the deserter!

None of the ten soldiers dared to look at Xiao Boji's face. Everyone knew that this was against military law. All they could think about now was how Xiao Boji would punish them.
It seemed that their company commander was really angry this time, because the guns of all ten of them had been confiscated.

Sure enough, the next thing Xiao Boji asked was, "Tell me, who of you ran away first?"

The ten soldiers still had their heads bowed or their eyes shifty, and they were absolutely unwilling to look up and meet Xiao Boji's eyes.

"I know what you bastards are planning. The law cannot hold everyone responsible, right?" Xiao Boji raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

The ten soldiers remained speechless, but in their hearts they had to admit that their company commander was right. That was what they thought in their hearts.

"Let me ask again, who ran away first?" Little dustpan asked again.

But what he waited for was still silence.

Xiao Boji didn't say anything, and his attitude was also silent.

But his silence is just not speaking, which does not mean that he is really silent.

"Company Commander, don't--" Lao Gu shouted from the side.

When the ten soldiers looked up, they saw that Xiao Boji had actually picked up the box gun.

Before they could react, the box gun in Xiao Boji's hand went off with a "bang".

The shot hit one of the soldiers right between the eyebrows, and the soldier fell down without even being able to utter a sound.

No matter those who had become deserters in front or those who followed Xiao Boji behind, no one had expected that Xiao Boji would be executed by military law at this moment!
"Let me say it again, who ran away first? I will give the informant a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins, otherwise none of you will survive!" Xiao Boji pointed the box gun in his hand at the second soldier.

Seeing that red marks had appeared in Xiao Boji's eyes, as if they were filled with blood, and the black muzzle of the gun clearly showed that it was not going to let these deserters go.

"Report, report to the company commander, it was Liu Wula who ran away first." Under the threat of Xiao Boji's gun, a soldier quickly reported the person who escaped first.

"Yes, it's Liu Wula!" The soldier next to him also hurriedly provided evidence.

None of them really expected that Xiao Boji could be so cruel and ruthless.

"I'm not the company commander!" The soldier named Liu Wula fell to his knees with a thud.

At this point, he had no choice but to kneel, because except for the dead one, seven of the remaining nine people pointed at him.

How can he be wrongly accused with this kind of evidence?

Xiao Boji raised his hand and the second shot rang out. Liu Wula no longer needed to scream. He tilted his head and fell to the ground.

"I'm charging at the front and you dare to desert. This will be the same fate for anyone who deserts again in the future!" Xiao Boji cursed angrily.

Then he put away his gun. At this time, all the people, no matter they were from their company or Shang Zhen's company, looked at Xiao Boji with different eyes!
A kind man cannot command an army. If he does not enforce military discipline, you really don’t know that the Horse King has three eyes!
