The heavens start from Changjin Lake

The Japanese army thought that China was separatist and the warlords were fighting like a mess, and arrogantly formulated the statement of destroying China in three months. Little did they know that their full-scale invasion angered local armies everywhere. After a battle, they put aside their grievances and fought against Japan together.

The next day, when the weather was still hazy, the soldiers who were sleeping soundly were awakened by a rush of whistles.

After a month of hard training, the soldiers basically achieved the muscle memory of hearing the sound, and then there was a murmur of huh-la-la everywhere.When the scholar, Xu Liu, old man Wang, and the monkey opened their eyes, they saw Xia Yuan standing at the door fully dressed.

"The big one is too fast."

The old man Wang's address for Xia Yuan remains unchanged, the key is that Xia Yuan never cares about these things, and everyone basically calls them big and big.

"Old man Wang, you are old and useless, and you haven't even had a monkey drink last night." Xu slipped on his clothes, making fun of yesterday's funny things.

"If you can't drink it, then you can't drink it." Old man Wang said cheerfully. With the battle imminent, the nervousness in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Squad leader, old man Wang may have been drinking. Don't underestimate him. Last night he was pretending. Compared with drinking, you have to look at the big guy." The monkey laughed, dressing faster than others, and a carp stood up. , as soon as he pulled up his pants, he felt a splitting headache and a feeling of dizziness, and he fell to the ground with a thump.

"Hey, who beat me with a sap last night." Monkey rubbed his head and said involuntarily.

Everyone laughed at him for a while.

The scholar remained silent as usual. He also drank a lot yesterday and vomited all over the ground.But now is not the time to think about these things. Put on your clothes, carry the empty gun on your back, and follow the footsteps of everyone to the place where the Ninth Company often gathers on the playground.

It was just dawn, and many people had already assembled. The Ninth Company lined up very quickly. The chief on the stage gave them enough time. The assembly time lasted for a full 10 minutes. The devils have started to invade Shanghai, and they will come back in a short time. The whole country, men, women and children, will be caught in the flames of war. If there is no war today, the nation will be in danger.

"It's so strange." The scholar's eyes were bright, as if a flame was burning.

"Well said, I want you to kill yourself." Standing in the crowd, old man Wang took out a piece of meat from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach. A tree branch, pick and choose on the yellowed teeth.

"Big one, is this Lier?" Monkey raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yuan who had been silent by his side, and asked.

"It depends on how you understand it." Xia Yuan didn't say much.

Scholars have been educated and know the truth of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".Wang Huzi is an out-and-out farmer. In order to survive, he had to fight against the landlord and was sent here as a strong man.

Throughout the War of Resistance Against Japan, some people chose to die standing up, and some chose to live on their knees. The name of dying standing up will be left in history, and the people will always remember them. You will never realize their greatness and cowardice in that era.

Even in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many people fled.In the first battle Xia Yuan participated in, Changjin Lake, Commander Song of the Ninth Corps personally shot and killed a battalion commander who had become a deserter, but even so, there were still many people who were frightened by the difficult conditions and chose to retreat .

Old man Wang glanced at the scholar and said, "We're just a rough guy, we don't even know a single word, we're not as knowledgeable as you, if it wasn't for the monitor and the big guy, we would have run away long ago."

Old man Wang looked very disdainful, and he was right. Xia Yuan and Xu Liu watched him closely, especially Xia Yuan. Even if he got up lightly in the middle of the night, he could still see Xia Yuan's opened eyes. , Xia Yuan stared too closely, so old man Wang couldn't find a chance.

Old man Wang didn't say anything, but his heart was full of complaints.

Xia Yuan was naturally aware of old man Wang's careful thinking, he didn't say anything, and waited quietly for the new battalion commander to finish his training.Then a group of carriages and trucks came over to pick them up and send them to the train station. Then they would have to travel for more than half a month to reach the front line. Now, half a month has passed since the Battle of Songhu broke out.

The new barracks were filled with ox carts and horse-drawn carts, one class squeezed together, and a villager drove the horse-drawn cart to the train station.

"We haven't fired the bullets yet." The monkey sat on the carriage holding the gun, and couldn't help asking: "Squad leader, when can we fire the bullets?"

"Bullets, it's early, I guess they won't be sent to you until the front line." Xu Liu was looking at the surrounding scenery, and when he heard the monkey's voice, he couldn't help but look back.

"Old man Wang, we can fire bullets when we get to the front line." The monkey said happily.

"Are you not afraid?" Old Man Wang said.

"What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid. We have guns."

The monkey grabbed the gun in his hand and couldn't put it down.

Old man Wang sneered, "You have a gun, so the Japanese devils don't have guns?"

"Then I don't care. If you have a gun, you can kill the Japanese devils." The monkey is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and his temper is the most active in his class.

"Natural optimist." The scholar felt a little emotional, and really embarked on the journey. The previous enthusiasm was blown by the wind, and nothing remained, leaving only nervousness.

Xia Yuan sat in the car without saying a word, recalling the details of the Battle of Songhu in his mind. With the successful landing of the Japanese army, the cruel battles at Luodian, Baoshan, and Liuhe were about to kick off. They should be able to fight Arrive at Luodian before the end to reinforce the Central Army that is sticking to Luodian.

"Big one, what are you thinking about?"

Since Xia Yuan became the deputy squad leader, he didn't rely on his power to suppress them. Instead, he was not used to being called the deputy squad leader, and everyone still called him big. Old man Wang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. As soon as he blew, the cigarette butt was bright and burning quickly, and he still couldn't figure out Xia Yuan's mind.

Since the big head got better, I can't see through him more and more, it's like a different person.

Seeing that the big man didn't make a sound, old man Wang said with emotion: "My head is healed, and it's still the same as before. Your head is healed, what's the matter, you don't know us anymore."

Xia Yuan shook his head. He recalled that the Sichuan Army was defeated, the Guangxi Army was destroyed, and the Central Army was basically defeated. Thinking about it carefully, this flesh and blood mill was not only a flesh and blood mill for the national army, but also for the Japanese army. A flesh mill.

In this battle, there is a high probability that their squad will be wiped out.

"I'm thinking about this battle."

"There's no reason to think about it. Do you want to fight? If you hit me, I'll hit you." Old man Wang said nonchalantly.

"Are you planning to take advantage of this battle to escape?" Xia Yuan asked suddenly.

Old man Wang's relaxed expression suddenly disappeared, his face changed slightly, and he quickly recovered: "How is it possible? There is no reason to escape when we reach the front line."

"You can't tell. If you run away, I won't say anything. Just don't run away before my eyes." Xia Yuan has experienced all kinds of battles, and has zero tolerance for deserters.

My regiment leader, my regiment, died, died, said a word, one can sweep away ten, and ten can sweep away a hundred. If old man Wang escapes on the battlefield, he turns around and flees, he is already afraid The new recruits will crumble like a pan of loose sand.

And if no one escapes, they all stay on the ground. No matter how scared the recruits are, they will not escape.

Everyone looked at Xia Yuan and old man Wang.

Old man Wang was smoking quietly, squinting his eyes, unable to see what he was thinking.

The big man's complexion is always calm. Unlike them, after more than a month of training, the big man is not as sallow as them, but his body is getting stronger and stronger, and the muscles on his arms are bulging. Before long, after taking off the military uniform, you can see the strong body, which is completely different from the scholar's thin body.

Old man Wang is a fine individual, while the big one is sharp and restrained.

The carriage swayed left and right, and the wheels made creaking sounds. From the dawn of day to the sun hanging above their heads, they stopped in an open space. There were already many troops gathered here, and they were walking towards the train station. .

Commander Du waved his hand and led them through the streets and alleys with the flow of people. The soldiers looked left and right, looking at everything around them. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front, and everyone couldn't help being curious Look forward, but there are too many people in front of you, and you can't see it all the time.

When they got to the front, everyone found that the townspeople were wearing plain clothes, standing on the side of the street, at the corner of the alley, with their elders on their right, women holding baskets with eggs in them, steamed buns kept pouring into the arms of the Guojun brothers. , the full-scale war of resistance broke out, and the Songhu War started. This difficult and protracted battle shocked China and the world. The delicious food was put into the arms of the brothers in the national army.

The scholar stuffed a few eggs and steamed buns in his arms, while the monkey happily grabbed the apple and ate it. He had never eaten such a delicious apple. Old man Wang looked at the steamed buns and eggs in his hands in silence, feeling Inexplicable.

He just wants to be a deserter.

More and more food and fruits were stuffed into his arms until he couldn't hold them anymore.

Everyone is a real farmer, who has been bullied by landlords and bullies for half his life, living a life without enough food and clothing. Where has he seen such a scene, and where has he received such care? Silently moving with the flow of people, not only them, but also the national army brothers in these new barracks were like them, they were frightened, shocked, and warmed.

Old man Wang pinched off the cigarette butt, and the monkey straightened his back.

An inexplicable emotion spread over the recruit battalion. At this moment, they finally understood what the recruit battalion commander said before mobilization: "What are we fighting for? For the land of China, for tens of thousands of people, and for the lights of thousands of families."

The team was surprisingly quiet, only the noisy crowd, with smiles on their faces, holding food in their hands, stuffing it into their arms.

As he was walking, a soldier from the company next door fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted loudly: "Today I am leaving Yujie, and I swear how many Japanese devils I will take to protect China!"

His head hit the ground heavily, and hit everyone's hearts hard.

It was almost time to arrive at the station, and the battalion commander of the recruit battalion ordered the soldiers to put down the fruits and only carry a few eggs and steamed buns. Then the team packed up and waited quietly for the train to arrive in the empty field of the station. They fired bullets, but the soldiers of the new barracks had already noticed that on the phalanx of the veterans, they were all wrapped with bullet bags, including the hand grenade bags around their waists, which were filled with grenades and circled around their bodies.

Some recruits were a little dissatisfied, why do you have bullets and grenades, we can only carry a gun on our backs, or empty guns.

Those veterans looked at the recruits with a sneer, with mocking eyes, and some laughed at them: "A bunch of cannon fodder."

Immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the recruits and soldiers, several tall and burly recruits scolded angrily: "Who are you calling cannon fodder!"

The veteran responded mercilessly: "What about you, a bunch of cannon fodder!"

Just when the new barracks and the veteran phalanx were at war, the voice of the orderly came: "Everyone aboard! Everyone aboard!"

The recruits looked at the veterans with anger in their eyes, while the veterans strode away proudly.

"Why are these people like this!"

Someone said unconvinced.

"Why? Just because you are too weak. It's the first time you go to the battlefield. It's not cannon fodder. The daily training is to improve your chances of surviving on the battlefield. If you didn't train well on the battlefield, you didn't even kill a single Japanese devil. If you die, you will die. What are you not cannon fodder? If you don’t want to be cannon fodder, you can, then use the guns in your hands to kill the Japanese devils fiercely, and death is worth it.”

The battalion commander of the recruit battalion responded to them very loudly, suppressing the dissatisfaction of many recruits.

"Damn it, they don't treat us as human beings. Why don't they give us bullets if they have bullets? This is obviously to send us to the battlefield to block guns." Old man Wang felt unbalanced, and his voice was uneven. Small, but not too big, only the soldiers around can hear it.

"Yeah, just give us a gun, and nothing else, let us go to the battlefield. Even if we are recruits, we have to fire bullets on the battlefield."

"Even if we are asked to kill the Japanese devils, we must be given bullets."

Old man Wang's words immediately resonated with some people. There is no one who goes to the battlefield without firing bullets. Isn't this too bullying?

"Old man Wang, don't talk nonsense! When we reach our destination, we will be shot." Xu Liu's face changed slightly, this guy was trying to provoke.

"Squad leader, you are facing them. We all fought desperately on the battlefield. Since we are fighting the Japanese devils, we must give us bullets. Or they don't give us bullets because they are afraid that we will shoot them with guns."

Old man Wang had an inexplicable look on his face.
