The dark mountain forest represents fear for most people, but for Liu Lang, who has survived in the Shennongjia primeval forest for two months with only a dagger, he is either a fish in water or walking on flat ground.
The deserters who had never entered the jungle hurriedly trampled on the grass roots and broken trees to indicate the direction of pursuit like beacons, and their fat bodies were like a flexible fat monkey walking through the forest.
Throughout the night, the senior leaders of the Independent Group looked at each other anxiously and speechlessly.
The whole night, the mountains were eerily silent. They even expected the sound of gunshots, which would at least prove that Liu Lang, who had never returned, was still in the mountains.
Waiting with unknown results is the scariest thing, no matter who you are.
Early in the morning, all the soldiers were gathered. Yu Xiancheng discussed with Chi Dakui and Liang Wenzhong that Liu Lang must be brought back even at the risk of deserters, otherwise the regiment leader would be gone and the regiment would have to be independent.
There is one for birds.
Yu Xiancheng and Liang Wenzhong didn't even notice that Liu Lang had become the backbone of the new army of the Independent Regiment subtly. Even they automatically made Liu Lang the chief officer. Liu Lang hadn't led them to fight yet.
He had gone through battles and had not yet won a victory, but he had already conquered two arrogant generals with his unique military temperament.
The familiar fat group was nowhere to be seen, most of the officers had tense faces, and the tense atmosphere naturally spread to the soldiers who were standing neatly.
Could it be that the rumors of deserters were true? There was a commotion among the soldiers.
Suddenly, several sharp whistles were heard in the distance, and Yu Xiancheng's face changed. The warning from the secret whistle arranged 400 feet outside the camp was loud but not urgent. It was obvious that there was no enemy. Could it be that Fatty Tuanzuo was back?
Soon, Yu Xiancheng's suspicion was confirmed, and a whistle with a few streaks of black ash on his face rushed over: "Reporting to the commander, the regiment is back, and he has brought a dozen brothers with him."
Tuan Zuo came back. The soldiers who were a little restless instantly became quiet. Although the fat man Tuan Zuo's orders were almost cruel and unhuman, there were people who complained about him and people who didn't like him, but they definitely didn't hate him.
It is said that the eyes of the masses are sharp. Whether it is a selection test or a nightlong march with light equipment, the fat man never gives an order and then sits in the car to watch the big soldiers perform. Liu Lang is always with them.
, and led them to complete their seemingly impossible mission.
They marched 150 miles for seven hours all night, breaking the domestic military field training record. Although the division commander's face was not very good, the soldiers still remembered the words of the division's top commander, Commander Huang: You have created
You have set a record for the longest field training since the founding of the Republic of China. The entire Second Division is proud of you.
Although they once fought side by side with the Fifth Army as comrades, the soldiers were deeply hurt by the arrogant vision of the Fifth Army as the Central Army. Now, it is Liu Lang who leads them to gain the respect from the Central Army.
This kind of respect from friendly forces even exceeds the praise of their national heroes by the people across the country to some extent. It is the pride that a soldier should be proud of.
And all of this was accomplished by Fatty Tuanzuo with them.
Although the great truths he said felt far away from me, and the little Japanese devils were nothing special, relying on planes, cannons and warships to compete with the big guys, I still vaguely felt that what he said was right.
The Japanese have already occupied the three northeastern provinces, and now they are reaching out to Shanghai. If they are allowed to occupy Shanghai again, will they still want there? Will the land left by their ancestors also be occupied by them? Will their children and grandchildren also be occupied?
Will you speak Chinese or Japanese then?
The principle of defending the country and the nation is too unfamiliar, but it does not mean that the illiterate soldiers do not understand what kind of situation their families will face after the alien invasion.
Liu Lang used his actions to explain to them the meaning of being a soldier and the pride of a soldier. Everyone believed that Fatty Tuanzuo would lead them to victory, no matter who they faced.
Including deserters.
The morning sun rose, and the May sunshine was very bright. A group of dejected soldiers carrying guns walked out of the woods, followed by Liu Lang, who had a rare and stern look on his face.
The whole army was silent.
During the camping period, anyone who leaves the camp without the order of the superior is considered a deserter.
And this time, there were actually more than a dozen people escaping.
Many people know the leading second lieutenant with a bruised nose and swollen face. He was a former second lieutenant platoon leader of the Third Regiment of the 19th Route Army. His name was Zhou Shiyu. Because he was a bit dull and taciturn, he only recruited a prime minister during the last reorganization of the station.
Sixteen familiar soldiers were among the five lieutenants who did not recruit enough people and were demoted to sergeants.
Thinking that leading his subordinates to desert this time had nothing to do with being demoted that time, the soldiers who knew him all sighed slightly. Everyone knew very well that the deserters might still be alive, but the consequences for him as a commander who led the deserters
What is it, there is no other way out except to rectify the Fa on the spot.
Zhou Shiyu walked to the middle of the field with his head lowered and his face was ashen. He didn't dare to look at the angry or confused eyes of his former colleagues. He knew that he was dead this time.
Ever since he was demoted by Liu Lang last time, Zhou Shiyu had been holding back a fire in his heart. Liu Lang was just fooling around like this. How big an official he is is related to his ability to command and fight, and how many people he can deceive.
What does it have to do with it? According to what he said, isn't the whole regiment a liar officer? Originally, in the 19th Route Army, because he could not please his superiors and was not promoted, he was interested in joining the Independent Regiment. Who knew that the Independent Regiment came?
The commander is even more unreliable.
It’s just that he is unreliable in selecting and employing people. He doesn’t regard his brothers as human beings at all. Marching 150 miles overnight is already very cruel. Now he has to march 500 miles on a mountain road in six days. Such a commander
It’s okay if you don’t follow.
After discussing with the brothers who had the same idea, we decided to take advantage of the difficulty of searching in the mountains to escape overnight, and then go to the old army, the 19th Route Army. As for the equipment that the brothers brought, it should be regarded as the hard work of the brothers during this period.
No expense. However, in order to show that he and Liu Lang did not owe each other, Zhou Shiyu put all of the present day that Liu Lang rewarded him in the camp, and the sixteen brothers only took half of it as travel expenses.
.
The most critical reason why he chose this time to escape was that two of his sixteen brothers were on duty at exactly those two hours. From leaving the camp late at night to the time when the brothers gathered together to escape into the mountains, everything was perfect, waiting only for the day.
As soon as the light came on, he walked out of the mountains and returned to Hanzhong, and then returned to Shanghai to find his old army.
However, the moment Fatty Tuanzuo jumped from the tree like a ghost and kicked himself several meters away, Zhou Shiyu knew that he and his brothers were finished. With Fatty Tuanzuo's ability, he had every chance to escape in the dark
The lieutenant general killed himself and others one by one, even if there were seventeen of them, it would be useless. His shooting technique of knocking off the tip of a sparrow's wing with four shots was absolutely terrifying.
He was able to accurately track the area ten miles away in the deep mountains and old forests. If Liu Lang hadn't come out of the blue, Zhou Shiyu would have really couldn't believe that there were such tyrannical soldiers in the world.
Zhou Shiyu and his soldiers gave up resistance immediately and followed the silent Liu Lang in the direction of the camp in frustration.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Lang didn't say a word or even give directions. It wasn't until the sky dimmed that the frustrated deserters found their way back to the camp and rushed back to the camp as the sun rose.
Now, the only thing they can do is wait for the judge's decision.
