The air was filled with the smell of blood, mixed with the pungent smell of gunpowder. The remaining soldiers were breathing heavily, and their dirty bodies were wet and sticky. Two consecutive fierce battles made them feel like they were rolling through a puddle of blood.
, turned into a bloody man.
On the bumpy streets, the corpses of disheveled Japanese soldiers were lying in a mess. Thick blood seeped out of their bodies and flowed to the ground, dyeing the brown soil dark red.
The Japanese cavalry squadron was completely wiped out, and not a single one of the more than 120 people escaped. Platoon leader Qin Shou led his men to rummage around among the corpses in a pool of blood, looking for valuable items.
He turned over a Japanese soldier who had been beaten into a hornet's nest. The wide-eyed and ferocious face of the Japanese soldier scared him so much that he trembled and sat down in a pool of blood behind him.
"Damn it, you're still scary even after you're dead!" Qin Shou got up angrily and kicked the Japanese soldier who was staring at the dead man a few times. The kicks made his feet wearing straw sandals painful.
His eyes fell on Guizibing's feet, he squatted down and pulled off Guizibing's leather shoes, put them on his own feet, and then sat down and dug into the pockets of Guizibing's trousers.
He took out a handful of blood-stained cloth strips from the Jaap Soldier's jacket pocket. He thought it was useless and was about to throw it away, but Yang Ling saw it and stopped him.
"Keep these badges. If you have the chance, take them back to their families as a reminder."
After Yang Ling reminded Qin Shou, he realized that the badges in his hands were the same as those on his chest. Although they were stained with blood, he could vaguely distinguish the military rank and name written on them.
In order to show their bravery, the Japanese soldiers like to tear off the badges of the Chinese soldiers they killed and keep them as souvenirs.
Each badge represents a brother of the National Revolutionary Army who was killed by the Japs. Seeing that he was holding such a large number of badges, they were obviously very light, but Qin Shou felt a little heavy, weighing down so much that he could not lift his hands.
He stood up and kicked the Japs' wide-open eyes several times, venting his anger. This damn Japs had killed so many of his brothers.
After venting his anger, he carefully stuffed these blood-stained badges into his pockets, preparing to send these badges to the homes of these dead brothers as relics in the future when the Japanese were beaten away.
Thinking of beating away the little Japs, Qin Shou lowered his head in frustration. He was being chased by the Japs every day. When will the end come? Can he really beat the Japs away? He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Although Yang Ling and the others arrived quickly and rescued the female health team members in time, they were so irritated by the fact that they were almost raped by the Japanese that they hugged each other and burst into tears, which made all the soldiers feel heavy.
Seeing the female health worker who was laughing and laughing not long ago turned into such a miserable appearance, every soldier's chest was burning with anger.
"Damn those little devils!" What happened to the female health workers made the soldiers' eyes turn red, they clenched their fists, and they wished they could kill the little devils now to avenge them.
Yang Ling ordered the soldiers to collect the bodies of his comrades and bury them at the entrance of the village. He summoned the temporarily appointed squad platoon leader to hold a brief meeting in a dilapidated house.
What happened to the health team made these originally numb and depressed squad leaders filled with righteous indignation. Everyone was simmering with anger and desperately wanted to find an outlet.
Yang Ling's eyes swept across the faces of the indignant squad leaders and he slowly said: "Everyone, the little Japs have chased us all the way and killed countless of our brothers. We can only run away if we can't fight them, but the Japs are no better than animals and they are even worse."
I, Yang Ling, am a man who has ruined so many sisters in our health team. I can't bear to swallow this. I am willing to give these beasts some lessons and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!"
What happened to the health team made Yang Ling no longer want to follow the crowd. He wanted to take the initiative to fight the Japanese. Although his personal power was very small, when everyone was retreating, someone had to stand up and fight, because he knew that there was always no way out.
By the time you retreat, it will be too late.
"I don't want to run away for a long time. How long will it take to run away? Company commander, just tell me what to do! If Liu Yidao frowns, I'm a son of a bitch!"
Liu Yidao was fighting the Japanese at Xifengkou of the Great Wall in the north, and now he went to Shanghai to fight the Japanese. The people around him had changed countless times, and he had a blood feud with the Japanese. He knew the cruelty of the Japanese, so he was the first to stand up and support Yang Ling.
"The devils are worse than beasts! What a good girl in the health team, we were almost ruined by the devils. If we keep running, the devils will hit our hometown sooner or later, and then our wives, children and parents will suffer. I won't leave. I'm willing to
Follow the company commander and you stay to fight the Japanese."
"Fight the Japanese! Avenge your dead brothers!" an angry squad leader yelled with his teeth creaking.
"Hit your ass, I told you not to get too hot in your head. That Japanese is not a rotten cabbage. He will beat you whenever he wants. Now we are the rotten cabbages. Let alone revenge. If we encounter more Japs, I'm afraid not a single one of us will be able to survive."
There is no need to fight with the Japanese to the death. I think it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Let’s take our time in the future.”
Platoon leader Qin Shou saw the agitated crowd and hurriedly spoke to cool them down.
"You're a fucking coward! You're a thing without eggs! If I don't have a brother as greedy as you, get out of here!"
Platoon leader Qin Shou's words immediately ignited the anger of platoon leader Liu Yidao. He pointed at Qin Shou's nose and cursed loudly.
"Liu Yidao, you're a fucking coward! Please keep your mouth clean." Qin Shou stood up angrily and pointed at Liu Yidao, tit for tat.
"All those officials have run away. What are we rotten garlics trying to do here? So many of my brothers are dead. I can't even find their whole bodies. They were blown into pieces by the Japanese. Today
Even if we all die here, do you think those officials will miss us? No! They are still popular and drink spicy food. I am not afraid of death, but I just don’t want to die for those officials. They all ran away.
, what does it mean if we stay behind?!"
Qin Shou's words immediately silenced the excited crowd. The war zone commanders ran faster than rabbits. The division commanders and army commanders also lost their troops and fled alone. If they could make a difference, hundreds of thousands of troops would be gone again.
Why did he get into chaos and be chased by the Japanese like a lost dog?
It's not that they are afraid of death, but they just can't figure it out. Now that the commander has run away, they still have the energy to fight the Japanese. They feel that fighting the Japanese for the commander is not worth it. The reason why they are defeated now is because their military morale has been shattered.
Although everyone was still angry at the Japanese, they felt even more panicked when they thought of the officers who abandoned them, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Yang Ling looked at the silent crowd and knocked on the table in front of him.
"I want to correct everyone's misconceptions. We are fighting the Japanese for this land, for this country, and to prevent more innocent people from being killed by the Japanese. We are not fighting for the escaped officers."
"We are soldiers, and it is our responsibility to defend our country. We are the last barrier of this country. If we all give up and run away, what happened to the health team will happen again in the future, and our wives, children, and children will not be able to escape.
, do you say you are willing to see this happen?!"
"Many officers ran away. They were afraid and became cowards! But we are not. We cannot just watch the devils tyrannizing unscrupulously on our land. We must pick up our guns and fight bravely to give the little devils a little.
Look at this, let them know that China will not perish! Know that there are still bloody men in China!"
Yang Ling's words were so resounding that everyone's breathing became rapid. They used to fight just to become officials and make a fortune. After the chief ran away, there was no hope of getting promoted and making a fortune.
After what Yang Ling said, they couldn't help but straighten up their backs. They were defending their homeland and fighting for this land. They couldn't help but look ashamed when they thought of their embarrassing escape before.
"The company commander is right. We are fighting a national war, not for officials. When being chased by the Japanese, there will always be no place to run. At that time, we will really become slaves of the subjugated country. We belong to men.
Just pick up the gun and fight the Japanese! Don’t run away!”
"Company commander, please lead us to fight the Japanese!"
