Big Chen Yunfa and Mao Mao, the two who got the best rating in the running assessment, are newcomers, but they are also the favorites in the eyes of the officers. Regardless of anything else, in terms of the competition of will alone, these two have
They have the potential to become the best soldiers. However, these two people seemed to be determined and refused to be recruited by anyone. Even Zhao Ergou and Liu Dazhu, whom they were most familiar with, were rejected by them.
Liu Lang did not hesitate, so he asked these two newcomers in everyone's eyes to follow him for the time being and become his orderlies.
In the blink of an eye, the two newcomers became the companions of Lord Tuanzao, and almost killed hundreds of soldiers. If they had known it was so simple, they would have kicked all the enthusiastic officers into the ditch. Idiots
Everyone knows that if you can stay with the regiment for a period of time, you will become a company commander at least once you go down.
But none of them expected that the highest official title these two men would hold throughout their lives was just the title of instructor, even if the word "general" was added in front of it. But if they were to talk about their other title called "Impermanence",
Even after the war, Japan's expression changed when talking about them.
In Liu Lang's time and space, there were statistics on the most famous snipers during the entire World War II and even the seventy years after. The famous "White Death" Finn Simon Haiya used a Finnish-made Mosin Nagant sniper rifle.
He won the first place with his astonishing record of killing 542 Soviet soldiers in just four months.
But in this time and space, because of the intrusion of a little butterfly like Liu Lang, the "White Death" could only be ranked second. Those who took his place were the two super newcomers around Liu Lang.
Four months after the war broke out, the duo killed enough Japanese soldiers to fill half a train. They were hailed as the most murderous soldiers on record. In the Japanese army's battle reports, the two men came and went without a trace.
The Chinese soldier who almost never missed his shot was given the code name "Impermanence", which is the name of a deity who specifically harvests the souls of living people in ancient Chinese ghost stories.
Liu Lang never expected that it was precisely because of the emergence of the troops he led that the birth of special forces in various countries was born in advance, especially in Japan, which was the hardest hit.
The first British special forces unit known as the "Gormands" was still two years away.
Of course, these are all things for later.
In the early summer of 1932, the duo "Impermanence" formed a country boy who was stunned by his superior's tracking skills, and the other was just an ordinary soldier with strong muscles and a strong will. And their commander
, now he is just a small colonel leading 1,200 unarmed soldiers.
Walking into the simple courtyard, the first thing Liu Lang saw was the anger and helplessness on Chi Dakui's face.
After listening to Chi Dakui's angry story, Liu Lang understood why the bald man who originally belonged to Huayin in Weinan ended up in Tongguan, more than a hundred miles away.
It turns out that this is all related to the northern drought that started in 1928.
This was originally just a story about a traditional Chinese farm family.
He couldn't even remember the original name of the big bald head, because he had a big bald head that didn't grow much hair since he was a child. The name Shi Datou almost ran through his thirty-two years of life. Shi Xiaoshuan was Shi Datou's younger brother.
Because his mother died early and his father had to support the family, Shi Xiaoshuan, who was more than ten years younger than his brother, had been raised by Shi Datou since he was a child. The two brothers had a very deep relationship.
Sixteen-year-old Shi Xiaoshuan, who had gone to school and was not afraid of tigers, left home alone to explore the world. Shi Datou, who was already in his twenties, had to stay in his hometown to support his father.
Unexpectedly, a catastrophic disaster 4 years ago changed everything. This catastrophic disaster swept through eight provinces in northern China in the 17th year of the Republic of China. What stayed in Liu Lang's memory most was the shocking number - 13 million.
, that is a figure that is almost one-third of the military and civilian casualties during the Anti-Japanese War. In Shaanxi alone, with a population of only 13 million, during the three years of famine, more than 3 million people died of starvation, died of epidemics, and more than 6 million were displaced.
, the two together account for 70% of the province’s population.
Liu Lang always thought that those might just be numbers compiled by the Nationalist government in order to obtain international relief supplies, but through Shi Datou's personal description, Liu Lang knew what kind of tragedy would happen to the people of a country when its political power is corrupted.
It was precisely because the Feng Yuxiang system and Gansu Liu Yufen were busy waging war with warlords in several northern provinces at that time that the rescue did not really begin until 1929, but it was already too late, and not many people could survive the food shortage for more than half a year.
Shi Datou was one of the 6 million displaced people. After burying his father who died of starvation, Shi Datou embarked on the road to find his relatives. As a result, he walked to Tongguan and almost starved to death when he was killed by an old couple in Tongguan.
In gratitude for the life-saving grace, Shi Datou stayed. While helping the old and frail old couple run a small business, he also inquired about the news about his younger brother. Unexpectedly, since the old couple passed away one after another, Shi Datou was preparing to set off again.
News came from the newspapers that his younger brother died heroically as an anti-Japanese hero. Chi Dakui, who had always refused to believe it, did not officially confirm the news until today, which made him extremely sad.
Chi Dakui, a Shaanxi native, although his parents died young, but who has no old friends? Hearing such a tragedy in his hometown once again, how could Chi Dakui not be inexplicably sad and angry? At this moment, he and Shi Datou, a fellow Shaanxi fellow, hugged each other's heads.
Crying bitterly is already considered extremely restrained.
This is the power of the country. Without strong national power, even if there is no external invasion, natural disasters can drag the people into the abyss of pain. Looking back on the unprecedented earthquake that I experienced in the past, if there is no strong national power,
National strength, probably, the number of casualties reported in the press will be doubled.
But at this time Liu Lang could only silently pat Shi Datou on the shoulder to express comfort, "Datou, I heard that your steamed buns are very good. This is my first time in Shaanxi. How about inviting me to try it?"
"How's that? How can I treat Xiao Shuan's commander to eat this?" Shi Datou, whose mood had gradually stabilized, shook his head repeatedly.
"What? Are you afraid that I won't have money to pay the bill? Don't worry, the Major Ji next to me is a rich woman, and I won't miss you." Liu Lang joked, learning a Shaanxi dialect with a smile.
"Huh, did you think of me when you were eating steamed buns? You have to pay for it yourself. I know you have money in your pocket." Ji Yanxue angrily rolled her eyes that could be seen by several men.
Silly girl! You know that if you said this seventy years later, the man would instantly turn into a wolf! Liu Lang was almost teased by an innocent girl, and his hormones secreted rapidly, in front of so many outsiders.
Fortunately, people in this era do not have the Internet and are very simple.
"How about that? What about that? Let's go, let's treat the officers to some of the white flour steamed buns we made." Shi Datou blushed and waved his hand, holding his brother's urn in his arms and walked out the door first, heading to his own small house on the street.
