When Su Rui and others walked down the city wall, the sky had darkened, and Zhang Lingfu rarely accompanied him down the position. When Su Rui walked down the city wall, he discovered that there were rows of soldiers standing in front of them, with as many as five or six soldiers.
Hundreds of people, but most of these soldiers were empty, and only a few of them had weapons in their hands.
Zhang Lingfu pointed at these soldiers and said to Su Rui: "Brother Su, these are the broken troops I have collected these days. Many of them even lost their weapons when they ran down. I was the one who stopped them. Originally, I wanted to
They were all shot according to the "Revolutionary Soldiers' Evening Law", but later I still couldn't bear it, so I kept them. Now I'm giving them to you, and I hope you can take them to kill the enemy!"
Suri looked at these ragged soldiers and nodded: "I will, unless they want to die in the hands of the Japanese."
At this point, the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
Zhang Lingfu said with a smile: "Brother Su, I take back what I said today. You are indeed a man. Once the Japanese are defeated, I will treat you to a drink at the best restaurant in Nanjing!"
Su Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, but what could he say? He couldn't say directly, "Brother Zhang, the city of Nanjing is about to be lost. Let's make an appointment somewhere else." If he really
That being said, Zhang Lingfu probably had to fall out with him, but he was still very happy to be recognized by Zhang Lingfu, a soldier who always had high standards.
Su Rui pondered for a while and then said cautiously: "Sir Zhang, since you call me brother, can I call you big brother?"
Zhang Lingfu said boldly: "Of course. Judging from today's situation, I can see that I am a man. I, Zhang Lingfu, can't see it wrong with my eyes."
Su Rui nodded and asked: "Brother Zhang, you are a veteran soldier. In your opinion, can Nanjing City be defended?"
When Zhang Lingfu heard this, his face suddenly became heavy. He gave a wry smile and fell silent. Although he was arrogant, he would never tell lies. Nanjing has always been a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. At present, the morale of the military in Nanjing is at a high level.
There was no ammunition, and there was a severe shortage of ammunition. Facing the fierce attack of five elite Japanese divisions, it was already shaky. It would only be a matter of time before it fell. Zhang Lingfu also understood that this could not be hidden from anyone who wanted to do it.
He could only sigh: "Well, the national situation is difficult, but this is a national war. What else can our soldiers do except to die for justice?"
"No, Brother Zhang, you are wrong!"
Su Rui said sternly: "Resistance to Japan is not something that happens overnight. You must remain useful so that you can continue to fight against the Japanese until they are completely driven out of our territory. I hope you can remember that if Nanjing cannot be defended, don't be reluctant to fight.
, it’s not too late to make plans after breaking through.”
Zhang Lingfu looked at Su Rui with a complicated expression and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Su, if you were my subordinate, just by what you said just now, I could shoot you for shaking the morale of the army, but what you said was another big sentence.
Tell the truth! Oh, let’s just see it!” After saying that, Zhang Lingfu turned around, a lonely look flashed across his face.
Seeing Zhang Lingfu's lonely expression, Su Rui knew that he was feeling very sad, but she didn't know how to comfort him. She sighed softly and waved her hand, then asked the soldiers to carry the dead and injured soldiers into the car.
The ragged soldier trotted behind him, and the car quickly disappeared into the night...
An hour later, Su Rui and the others returned to the church. Su Rui did not lead them directly into the church, but stopped on a slightly wider street. Su Rui ordered Li Yifeng to gather them all.
"Everyone has gathered together. The commander is going to give you a lecture!"
"Stand still damn well, you... you... I'm talking about you, why are you lingering? I'm talking about you!"
Li Yifeng held an MP38 submachine gun and led dozens of soldiers from the Second Company to maintain order. It took a long time before these soldiers were gathered together.
Seeing the soldiers standing crookedly and looking weak, Su Rui couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. Was he going to rely on these loose and defeated soldiers to break through the encirclement?
But Su Rui also knew that even if he was disappointed in his heart, he couldn't show it at this time, otherwise these people would really be hopeless.
He slowly walked up to these soldiers and said: "You are all deserters who escaped from the front line. Originally, according to military discipline, you were all going to be shot, but I took you away from Commander Zhang.
"
At this point, Su Rui's eyes became sharp. He looked directly at the defeated soldiers and said: "I have no other intention. I just don't want you to die in vain. Even if you want to die, you must die on the battlefield of killing the Japanese."
Instead of being shot by the war team or the military police, in which case you will not be able to see your ancestors after your death! So, you don’t need to thank me, because I just postponed your death!
Now, if any of you are willing to follow me to kill the Japanese, please take a step forward. I, Mr. Su, will fight to death with him. If you don't want to, just go. I will never stop you for even a step, but I want to
Let me explain in advance that the only passage through Yijiangmen has been blocked by our Thirty-sixth Division. Who dares to retreat even half a step? The guns in the hands of the brothers of the Thirty-sixth Division do not recognize people. You...you have to think carefully!"
Listening to Su Rui's words, Li Yifeng and the soldiers of the Second Company beside him couldn't help but feel a little funny. This Commander Su loved to scare people when he spoke. I heard that many brothers from the First Company were coaxed onto his pirate ship by him in this way. Now he
The old tricks are repeated again.
After Su Rui finished speaking, there was still deathly silence in front of him. Everyone looked at Su Rui silently without saying a word.
However, Suri had become much more courageous in the past two days. Being stared at by so many people made his heart beat faster for a while. However, after a while, no one in the team came forward. This also made Suri
My heart gradually became cold.
"Why, no one wants to kill the Japanese with me?"
Su Rui's company gradually became colder. He shook his head in disappointment and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that I was wrong. It turns out that I saved a group of cowards. Also, how could a group of people who abandoned their positions and their brothers dare to fight with the Japanese?"
What about fighting?"
"Sir, don't look at people through the cracks in the door - look at them!"
A gong-like sound rang out in the crowd. As he spoke, an officer with the rank of lieutenant came out. He walked up to Suri and said loudly: "Sir, it's not that we are unwilling to fight the Japanese."
, but our original commanders either died in battle or fled. We people had neither ammunition nor food, and we didn’t want to be stupid, so we ran away. Do you think we are willing to be deserters and be shot?
If the chief gives us enough food and gives us weapons, let’s see how we beat those little devils to death!”
"Um!"
Su Rui looked up at the lieutenant in front of him. This lieutenant was burly. Although he was not very tall, Su Rui could see that this soldier's frame was much larger than that of ordinary people, and his strength was also
It must not be small.
After looking at the soldier carefully, Su Rui asked seriously: "State your name, place of origin and original unit to which you belong!"
The second lieutenant puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Sir, Lieutenant Wu Chengfeng, platoon leader of the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 04th Regiment of the 112th Brigade of the 88th Division, is reporting to you that I am from Chibi, Hubei!"
"Lieutenant?"
Su Rui looked at the officer who claimed to be a lieutenant and platoon leader with great interest and said: "Oh? Did I hear you right? You are a lieutenant and you are just a platoon leader? Are you too incompetent, or is your original commander blind?
Eye, can you talk to me?"
"I……"
Wu Chengfeng blushed and was choked by Su Rui and was speechless.
At this time, one of the soldiers on the side stood up to defend Wu Chengfeng. He said loudly: "Sir, this cannot be blamed on Platoon Leader Wu. Platoon Leader Wu is our old commander. It doesn't matter if it's not Platoon Leader Wu. And
Because of that naughty Yang Mazi who was secretly stumbling upon him, and because the superior officers were jealous of others, Platoon Commander Wu had already become the battalion commander, not to mention the platoon commander!"
"Um!"
Su Rui responded noncommittally and continued the previous topic, "Okay, time is running out, so stop talking nonsense. If anyone is willing to fight the Japanese with me, Mr. Su, come forward. If you don't want to, I won't force you.
Wherever you fall in love, whether you live or die is your own business, start deciding now!"
The surroundings became silent again, but at this time Su Rui discovered that many people among the defeated soldiers kept secretly looking at Wu Chengfeng. This discovery made Su Rui's interest in Wu Chengfeng greatly increase.
"It seems that Wu Chengfeng is quite prestigious among the soldiers."
Just as Su Rui was secretly speculating, Wu Chengfeng finally stood up and said loudly: "Sir, if you can promise to give us enough food and give us weapons, then we will follow you, even if we fight with the Japanese.
I admit it too!"
"Yes, sir, as long as you can let us have enough to eat, we will follow you!" The soldiers around him shouted in unison.
After listening to the words of these defeated soldiers, Su Rui did not feel the slightest bit of relief, but some were just sad. The requirements of these soldiers were as simple as that. They just wanted to have enough to eat and a weapon that could kill the enemy. But even though
Such a simple request is often not met.
Su Rui took a long breath and said loudly: "Okay, I promise you, as long as you follow me and have my food, I will never let you go hungry! As for weapons..."
Speaking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but said proudly: "As long as you can carry it, you can have as much as you want!"
