The speeding truck gradually left Guanghuamen behind. Suri did not look back, but just turned his gaze to the rearview mirror.
Looking at the city wall fading away, Su Rui didn't know if he would have the chance to see the cheerful Captain Luo in the future, nor did he know how many soldiers in his regiment would survive. This feeling made him very sad.
depressed.
"Is this what war feels like?"
Suri didn't dare to think too much about the fate of the heroic soldiers behind him. He just stepped on the accelerator hard, and the truck was speeding over the bumpy ground, making the few soldiers behind the carriage unable to even stand.
When the car drove about two kilometers away from the church, Suri suddenly saw a group of ragged soldiers standing motionless on the street, just staring blankly ahead, letting the truck drive towards him.
"squeak......."
Suri stepped on the brakes tightly to avoid hitting the soldier in front.
Looking at the soldiers who were less than one meter away from the front of the car, Suri became furious. He leaned out and cursed: "Assholes, what's wrong with you, you're looking for death!"
These soldiers remained silent and still stood there, looking at him blankly.
Now Suri's weapon became even bigger. He opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Wang Dezi who was standing beside him.
Wang Dezi grabbed Su Rui and said solemnly: "Sir, something doesn't seem right. If you want to get off the car, you have to let the big guy behind you get ready."
Su Rui was also worried that something might happen to the soldiers in front of him, and agreed with Wang Dezi: "Then it's done, you can arrange it!"
Wang Dezi nodded, then stuck his head out of the car window and made a warning gesture to Wu Dali behind him.
Wu Dali and Wang Dezi have worked together for several years and know each other well. As soon as they saw Wang Dezi's gesture, the big man immediately pulled the safety of the machine gun originally installed on the roof of the car to prevent a panic. The other three or four people
The soldiers also loaded their rifles.
Seeing that Wu Dali and the others were ready, Wang Dezi nodded to Su Rui and said, "Sir, you can go down now, but you have to be careful."
Although Su Rui was a little scared, she still comforted him and said: "Well, don't worry, I'm sorry they don't dare to shoot at the commander."
After saying that, Su Rui tightened the armed belt around his waist, unbuttoned the gun holster hanging around his waist, touched the cold gun handle, then opened the car door and walked out. He walked slowly to the leader
The soldier in front of him frowned and asked: "Which unit are you from? Why are you blocking the road? Can you afford to delay the urgent military affairs on the summit?"
Su Rui blurted out this sentence without thinking. After finishing speaking, Su Rui felt that he seemed to be quite familiar with this sentence. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this was not a line he had often seen in TV movies before.
Why did he say it so smoothly?
However, the words that were often used by some people to ridicule the national army seemed to be quite effective. The leader was wearing what could only be barely seen as a gray military uniform, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and holding a
A soldier holding an old sleeve that had probably been polished.
He walked up to Su Rui and saluted: "Sir, Li Yifeng, captain of the 865th Regiment of the 145th Division, 433rd Brigade of the 21st Sichuan Army, has met sir!"
Looking at the dark and thin man in front of him, Su Rui frowned and said, "You are from the 145th Division? Are you still the captain and company commander? Why did you stop the military vehicle here?"
A blush flashed across Li Yifeng's dark and thin face: "Sir, we are from the 145th Division and have just retreated from Xuancheng County Cross Shop."
"The 145th Division, Xuancheng County Cross Shop..."
Su Rui frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered a person and asked in surprise: "Are you subordinates of Chief Rao Guohua?"
Li Yifeng said with great joy: "This officer has a good memory. Our division commander is none other than Commander Rao Guohua. Sir, do you recognize our division commander Rao?"
Su Rui shook his head and said: "I don't know your officers, but I have heard that your officers were loyal to the country and died a worthy death. I deeply admire you."
After saying that, Su Rui sighed and looked at these soldiers with a much kinder look.
After hearing the Sichuan Army company commander introduce himself, Su Rui remembered that they were all subordinates of that general.
Rao Guohua (December 7, 1894 - December 1, 1937), named Jueqing and courtesy name Bichen, was a native of Zhangjiaba, Dongxiang, Ziyang County, Sichuan (later Baotai Town, Yanjiang District).
General Rao Guohua was ordered to stop the Japanese army in Guangde on December 1. However, due to the sparse troops, he was surrounded by the Japanese army at Cross Shop. The Japanese army sent troops to persuade them to surrender. However, General Rao Guohua would rather die than surrender, and warned the left and right: "Do it until you win."
If you win, you will live, if you fail, you will die, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. We must remember the oath we made at that time, and we must never bow down and show weakness in front of the enemy and embarrass the Chinese people."
General Rao Guohua also wrote a suicide note to Liu Xiang that night, saying: "Liu Ruzhai did not obey the command, resulting in the defeat of the army. He had no choice but to die in order to repay the kindness of his father-in-law and his father-in-law in Sichuan." At about 2 o'clock in the morning on December 1, 1937,
, Rao Guohua died for his country at Cross Pu in Xuancheng County, fulfilling his oath to "defend the homeland as his own duty."
After recalling this general who would rather die than surrender, Su Rui's face became much better when he faced the remnants of the soldiers. He said to the interested parties in a gentle voice: "Since you are Commander Rao's subordinates, you are anti-Japanese heroes. As for the good men, I
I always admire you, Captain Li, why did you stop our military vehicle? Just say it, and I will never refuse as long as I can help."
Unexpectedly, Li Yifeng burst into tears after listening to Su Rui's words, and then he knelt down and cried loudly: "Sir, please save us brothers from the 14th and 5th Division, we are already very happy.
Go down!"
Su Rui was stunned by Li Yifeng's sudden attack. He quickly helped Li Yifeng up and said repeatedly: "How do you say this? If you have anything to say, please say it!"
With Su Rui's kind words and consolation, Li Yifeng finally told the story. It turned out that after General Rao Guohua died in the battle, the more than a thousand remnants of the 145th Division who suffered heavy losses suddenly became motherless children.
.
After the remnants of their troops retreated into Nanjing City, no one came to take care of them. Not to mention the ammunition supply, there was no one to take care of their daily meals. In the end, these dissatisfied remnants of the 145th Division went to the commander's office.
In desperation, the officers of the Chief's Department just gave them a few boxes of ammunition to send them away, but when they opened it, they found that what was inside turned out to be...
"Sir, look at it, the officers in the department don't treat us as human beings, they just use these rags to fool us!"
Li Yifeng cried and opened several boxes of ammunition boxes behind him. When Su Rui took a look, he immediately felt the blood in his head rushing upwards. It turned out that the boxes contained some wooden bullets for training. Not to mention such bullets.
We are on the battlefield. Even if we kill chickens, we can’t kill them!
After seeing this, Su Rui was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot, and she said angrily: "It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
Seeing Su Rui's angry look, Li Yifeng said miserably: "Sir, we Sichuan students are not afraid of death. When we left Sichuan, our families had already set up memorial tablets for us, but brothers don't want to die so cowardly. Take a look, we are wearing
Yes, with all the equipment used like this, can brothers still go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Su Rui slowly looked over and saw that each of the soldiers he saw was in a daze, their eyes were lifeless, their clothes were so tattered that they were worse than beggars, and the weapons in their hands were almost as rotten as fire sticks.
Sighing heavily, Su Rui patted Li Yifeng on the shoulder and comforted him: "Lianyuan Commander, what are your plans?"
Li Yifeng shook his head sadly, "Brothers, we have been without food for two days. If we were not forced to do so, we would not have the courage to stop your military vehicle. There is really no other way, so...
....That's it..." At this point, Li Yifeng couldn't continue.
Su Rui interrupted him, "You don't need to say it. You are all heroes of the Anti-Japanese War. Since I have seen this matter, I can't ignore it. Let's do this. You can follow me for the time being. As long as you have something to eat from me,
We will never let our brothers go hungry! By the way, how many more of you are there?"
When Li Yifeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, is it true? We still have more than two hundred and sixty people, all of whom are men who can go into battle to kill the enemy. Don't worry, as long as you give each of us two for each meal
Momo, if brothers can sell their lives to you, there will be nothing wrong with them going into battle to kill the enemy!"
What good soldiers, their requirements are so low, but the current authorities can't even meet them. Su Rui's eyes turned red again, and he suppressed the sadness in his heart and said with a smile: "Of course,
When have I, Su Rui, ever told lies! Okay, let the weak brothers get in the car, and I will take you to our station."
Li Yifeng was overjoyed and immediately waved back and said: "Brothers, this officer is willing to take us in. Wang Dashan, you take the injured brothers to the car. The others follow the officer's car. We have steamed buns."
have eaten!"
Soon, more than a dozen injured and weak soldiers were helped into the car, and then the car, driven by Su Rui, slowly drove towards the church...
