Chapter 107 Sacrifice and Faith

The Shandong soldier who spoke back to Lu Yuan was named Xu Changlu. After he was separated from several Paizetong troops, he rescued a dozen injured national soldiers while wandering around in the city. Perhaps Xu Changlu and the others had already crossed the river from Xiaguan Wharf to Jiangbei. "Let's go, take us over there to have a look." Hearing the other party say that there are more than a dozen injured national army soldiers ahead, before Lu Yuan can speak, Liu Baotian hastily dragged Xu Changlu towards the street corner ahead go.

Liu Baotian's actions seemed reckless, but they were actually for Lu Yuan's safety. If Xu Changlu and the others cheated, Lu Yuan, who was blocked by himself and Yu Dapeng, might still have the possibility of escape.At first, Lu Yuan didn't know Liu Baotian's intentions, so after walking for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly found that Yu Dapeng was squeezed in front of him. Only then did he understand Liu Baotian's intentions. The only thing is to protect yourself.

Lu Yuan was very moved, but he never showed any defense against Xu Changlu and the others, because on his full-view map, there were no red dots representing the Japanese army around here.Walking along the street to the front corner, under the leadership of Xu Changlu, the crowd turned to an alley on the side of the street, and entered a yard from an inconspicuous sandwich wall. Lu Yuan and others finally saw Xu Changlu The dozen or so national army wounded soldiers mentioned.

In the small courtyard, more than a dozen wounded soldiers of the national army were lying or sitting in disorder. Arms wrapped in gauze, Lu Yuan looked around subconsciously, but did not see the ambulance in this small yard.Judging from their military uniforms and helmet styles, these wounded soldiers were indeed from the national army, but they did not belong to the same unit. From Lu Yuan's rough look, these wounded soldiers came from at least four or five different units.

Compared with the indifference in the eyes of these wounded soldiers, although they are tired, embarrassed, covered with blood stains, and some of their military uniforms have a few holes, they still try their best to maintain Looking at his military appearance, in Lu Yuan's view, these details are all the embodiment of the quality of soldiers. "Company Commander Xie, this is Platoon Leader Liu of the tax police corps. They have been beating devils in the city." Xu Changlu and Liu Baotian brought them to one of the wounded. Only then did Lu Yuan finally realize that the arm and thigh were all wrapped up. Gauze's wounded soldier was actually a captain officer.

"We have a lot of people here. The three here and I are from the 88th Division. The two over there are brothers from the Sichuan Army. The four of Xu Changlu and the others are from the 74th Army. Others are brothers from the original city defense force." Xie Kunwu With the help of the soldiers beside him, he sat up straight, took the cigarette handed by Liu Baotian, took a big drag greedily, and then handed the cigarette to a wounded soldier beside him.A cigarette was passed around in the hands of several people, and only the butt was left. Liu Baotian chuckled, and directly stuffed half a pack of cigarettes into Xu Changlu's hand.

"How's the situation in the city?" Xie Kunwu asked Liu Baotian in a low voice. After being sent into this courtyard by Xu Changlu and the others, Xie Kunwu's understanding of the situation in the city could only be judged from the sound of guns and artillery in the city.Knowing that Liu Baotian and the others had been fighting in the city, Xie Kunwu was anxious to know the latest situation in the city, especially the current situation of the 88th Division.

The other people in the yard obviously had the same thoughts as Xie Kunwu, and they all cast their eyes on Liu Baotian, "The situation in the city is very bad. We have been clearing out the Japanese troops entering the city all day long. In fact, all The gates of the city have been breached by the Japanese army, but the Japanese army has not used large-scale troops in the city yet, but tomorrow, the Japanese army may make a big move." Liu Baotian's voice was calm and dry, but Xie Kunwu and the others heard it differently.

"The only thing that is beneficial to us right now is that most of the national troops who have withdrawn from the battle have been sent across the river along with the civilians in the city." Liu Baotian smiled a little lonely, looking around at Xie Kunwu and the others. "There should be many national troops scattered in the city like us, and Yijiangmen is likely to be controlled by the Japanese army now. Therefore, we have no way to retreat. We are alone, the last national army in the city." Liu Baotian's words made Xie Kunwu and the others silent. Many people's eyes had steam, but they had no regrets in their hearts. If they were given another chance to choose, they would choose to stay and continue to fight the Japanese army.

"Changlu, if you can still move, follow Platoon Leader Liu and the others. If you follow them, you can continue to fight the little devils. If you stay in this yard, you will only become a trapped beast in the end." Xie Kunwu called Xu Changlu to himself By his side, resisting the pain in his body, he took out the shell gun under his body and handed it to Xu Changlu. "Take this gun and help me kill a few more little devils. Don't sacrifice lightly if it's not a last resort."

Xie Kunwu's actions seemed to wake up the wounded soldiers in the yard. Everyone took out their last ammunition and handed them to Xu Changlu and the others, pinning their last hopes on them. "Maybe it doesn't need to be like this. I can find a safe place for you to recuperate." Lu Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suggested at the right time, and Xie Kunwu then turned his attention to Lu Yuan.

"Little brother, there's no need. Even if we cripples recover from our wounds, we probably won't be able to go to the battlefield. Instead of surviving, it's better to die vigorously. When you leave later, just leave us a few grenades." Xie Kunwu had obviously made up his mind to pay attention. When he said this, Lu Yuan noticed that none of the other wounded soldiers expressed any objection.Liu Baotian turned around and looked at Lu Yuan, not knowing how to answer Xie Kunwu's words, but Lu Yuan suddenly fell silent at this moment.

Xie Kunwu and the others obviously had the will to die, and Lu Yuan knew that even if he tried his best to persuade them, there was probably no way to make Xie Kunwu and the others change their decision.For a real soldier, sometimes life is more terrifying than death. It is better to die on the battlefield than to live in a wimpy way. The glory of a soldier comes not only from his achievements, but also from his sacrifice.After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan nodded to Liu Baotian and said, "Leave the grenade for them."

Liu Baotian and Xie Kunwu were surprised at the same time. Liu Baotian was surprised that Lu Yuan would agree to Xie Kunwu's request, while Xie Kunwu was surprised that Liu Baotian, an officer of the national army, would obey the orders of a civilian boy. "I said, leave the grenade for them. They are all real soldiers. This may be the only way to fulfill their wish." Seeing that Liu Baotian didn't understand what he meant, Lu Yuan could only repeat his order.

According to Lu Yuan's order, Liu Baotian left seven or eight of the grenades seized from the Japanese army to Xie Kunwu and the others. "Thank you very much. Thank you for someone who can understand our wish. Since there is no hope of crossing the river, it is better to die in this city of Nanjing." Xie Kunwu who took over the grenade was very calm. A pack of cigarettes was found from the person and left to Xie Kunwu and the others.

"Death is not terrible. What is terrible is losing the persistence in your heart. Don't be afraid that you will not be accompanied when you go on the road. I will send many Japanese to accompany you. I hope that you will still be iron-blooded soldiers on the battlefield. , don’t lose the name and pride of our Chinese soldiers.” Lu Yuan bent down and helped Xie Kunwu light the cigarette in his mouth with his own hands, then stood at attention with a solemn expression, and respected Xie Kunwu and others A military salute.

Liu Baotian and the others also stood at attention and stood behind Lu Yuan to salute Xie Kunwu and the others. At this moment, whether it was the wounded soldiers like Xie Kunwu, or Liu Baotian and the others, there was a look of solemnity and pride on their faces. color.Under Xie Kunwu's persuasion, Lu Yuan and the others turned around and left the courtyard. They had already walked a long way out of the alley, and Xu Changlu turned his head to look behind him from time to time.

"Okay, we are now eight people again, let's talk about something that everyone is interested in." Lu Yuan stopped suddenly, pulled out the dagger from his waist and squatted down on the spot. "We have actually been going around in this area all day today. Four days ago, a group of national army stragglers and I ambushed the Japanese army in the area north of here. We ambushed the Japanese army several times in this area, some The weapons, ammunition and supplies that cannot be taken away are temporarily hidden in this area, and we will turn around to go there now, and at the same time, we can replenish some ammunition and supplies by the way.”

Lu Yuan's words finally made Liu Baotian and others happy. The lack of ammunition is the biggest difficulty they are facing now. Once the problem of ammunition is solved, they will be able to deal with the Japanese army in the city for a long time again.The team continued on the road, but Lu Yuan fell from the front to the end of the team, and Xu Changlu walked beside Lu Yuan. "I know you want to take Company Commander Xie and the others to leave together, but you have to know that they were all injured, and not lightly injured. If you can take them, let alone fighting the Japanese army in the city, I'm afraid you won't even be able to complete a normal march .”

Lu Yuan's words changed Xu Changlu's eyes. Seeing that Xu Changlu still kept silent, Lu Yuan had no choice but to continue, "If I were you, I would respect the choice of Company Commander Xie and the others, because that is the only way for Company Commander Xie and the others to maintain the pride of their soldiers. .If I were you, I would kill more Japanese soldiers in the next battle. Only in this way is the best way for you to prove yourself to Company Commander Xie.”

Lu Yuan's words finally made Xu Changlu's expression return to normal. Hearing Xu Changlu thank him awkwardly, Lu Yuan smiled and speeded up, returning to the vanguard position from the tail of the team.In fact, in this battle, there are not a few soldiers like Xie Kunwu who showed their ambitions through death. For them, death is really the last way and means they use to maintain the pride of their soldiers.
