Chapter 120 The flag is fluttering, Ma Zheng Xiaoxiao
There is no time for you to think in a war.
Only after the battle is over do you have time to recall the brutality of the battlefield.
Only one of them died this time.
But this was also the first time Zhang Hong saw himself die.
As I said before, there will be no time on the battlefield to remember you or leave you any last words.
When the Fusang soldiers were killed, it was not Jia Xu who made the move.
In addition, it was just a stranger, and he couldn't feel anything if he was killed by a shot or a knife.
He even had no real feelings about time travel - he had never left the deserted village in the past half month since time travel.
So for him, it's more like an outing.
Those dead Fuso soldiers are just NPCs in the game.
But Huang Sancheng is different.
This was the first acquaintance of Jia Xu who died.
It's like he was playing a game before traveling through time.
In a game with a great plot, if a well-developed character dies, he will find it difficult to accept, and it’s no wonder.
Not to mention it's a real person now.
Huang Sancheng has ideals and his own flesh and blood.
He dreams about the beauty of his future life, and thinks about going back to find a girl he likes after the war to get married and live a happy life. He has an indecisive personality and is a good old man who doesn't lose his temper and has no airs.
But he is a human being.
A person with flesh and blood and emotions.
Then he died in front of Jia Xu.
It can even be said that Lao Huang was killed by Jia Xu.
Jia Xu is autistic.
Not one day later, Jashen came back with his troops.
When he heard about Lao Huang's death, he said nothing.
No sadness, no sadness.
No expression.
Jia Xu walked over and apologized.
He didn't run over and ask Jashen why he wasn't sad like in some TV dramas.
He just apologized.
But Jashen just looked at him coldly and slapped him.
"I'm not the one you should apologize to."
The children all cried. Jia Xu received the slap and said nothing.
Now if someone could beat him up, it would make him feel a lot better.
And the person who beat him was his grandfather.
But Jashen didn't take action again.
"I won't beat you. I'm a man, so I'll go to the battlefield to pay your debt."
On this day, Jia Xu enlisted in the army.
............
The real Jia Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Tsk, Brother Hong is doing it too. I have to give the protagonist my name and give it to Jia Shen's grandson... really do it."
"Cough...cough!"
I suddenly remembered a severe cough in the hospital bed next to me.
Jia Xu turned around and saw that his grandfather Jia Shen was crying and coughing.
Shocked, he quickly helped his grandfather sit up, then turned him sideways, picked up the spittoon and patted his back to make him cough up the phlegm.
After everything was done, he found that his grandfather's expression had returned to its previous numbness, and the light in his eyes that had appeared since watching TV had turned gray again.
When he panicked, he got up and was about to call the doctors and nurses and call his father.
But Jashen raised his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"I'm fine."
Jia Xu didn't believe it. The old man was not very clear-headed after being hospitalized. He didn't dare to be vague about this kind of thing.
"You go ahead, I'll take out the needle and go on a hunger strike."
"Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go! Grandpa, don't get excited!"
Jia Xu was scared.
This is really hard to bear!
Jashen looked at his grandson.
Except for his name, he is nothing like the "afterlife" on TV.
He's not bookish, he's not handsome, and he's a bit silly.
Facing his grandson who was obviously perfunctory, the old man sighed, "Actually, I have always been conscious. Before... I was just pretending."
"ah?!"
Jia Xu people were stupid.
What's going on?
Jashen lay back on the hospital bed that was tilted up at a 45-degree angle.
Of course he is awake.
The reason why I had been resisting treatment before was that I had already given up my mind to die.
When Zhang Hong came to see him, he pretended to be unconscious.
Or because I can’t face it...
I can't face that face that looks exactly the same as in the next life.
The words of apology come to my lips but I can't say them out, not because of face, but because I despise myself as a person.
But in the end, he still got Zhang Hong's apology by pretending to be confused.
Although...it's just to comfort myself.
What he said was actually a hint to Zhang Hong to remember to check if there was such a person among his ancestors when he went back.
It must have been found.
Then why does he want to watch this TV series?
I just want to know if future generations in the next life will forgive me after knowing the truth.
This was his lifelong knot.
But seeing this, he felt that maybe not.
The thing he regretted most was that he had left the task of being the queen to the next life out of selfish motives, while he had lived an ignoble existence for decades.
The second thing he regretted was that after Lao Huang died, he became so angry that he lost his mind and forced those who were not soldiers to join the army in the next life.
At that time, Hesheng didn't say anything and just silently agreed.
Presumably at that time, in the next life, the thought of returning his life to Lao Huang must have been in his mind.
if......
If I had really beaten him...
It's a pity that there is no if.
The grandfather and grandson have different thoughts, and this episode continues to air.
After joining the army, Jia Xu in the play officially entered the battlefield.
As the war continued, he gradually became taciturn.
The more and more Pao Ze sacrificed, the more he understood that the war was not a joke like the "March War" in the book.
But on the battlefield, there is not so much time to think about.
But he gradually understood Jia Shen's seriousness.
Especially one night when he got up to take a nap, he saw Jia Shen smoking silently and crying while looking at the military plaques of his fallen comrades.
He didn't go there, but he understood.
I understand why Jia Shen is so serious.
Because I have seen too many sacrifices.
He also understood why many of his comrades, including officers, were more fearless than him.
Are you not afraid of bullets?
Are you not afraid of bombs?
Do you really have no intention of flinching when faced with a tank's muzzle?
No.
Because they are abusing themselves.
Why, why are those who sacrificed so young? They are younger than us, but they sacrificed, but we are alive.
The young people who chatted, slept and dreamed about the future together in the past left forever without even leaving any last words.
Some even have no remains.
Why...why can't it be me who dies?
Jia Xu finally understood.
Why did my grandfather never mention the military medals he had received decades later? Why did he hide these military medals at the bottom of the cabinet until his death and never take them out for decades?
Because in their eyes, this is not a certificate to show off their merits.
These are comrades-in-arms, whom Pao Ze paid for with his blood and life.
These belong to those warriors who were once young and will always be young, not them.
Two months.
It has been two months since the war started, and more than two months have passed since Jia Xu crossed over.
With half-grown children and a large army, they finally drove the invaders to the other side of the river.
Then, it’s time to cross the river.
Jia Xu knew that this was also the last battle.
History books say that the last battle after crossing the river was to drive the Fuso invaders into the sea.
This battle will end the "March War".
China will also transform from defense to strategic offense.
Standing by the river, looking around at the young people with bright eyes.
Jia Xu felt peaceful inside.
Everyone is waiting for the order to cross the river.
At this moment, a political commissar raised his trumpet and started to cheer everyone——
"Soldiers! Brothers! I am Political Commissar Wang! Everyone listen to me! I want every one of you! Sing loudly this military song that we all can sing!"
When the noisy voice gradually quieted down, he cleared his throat and roared out a broken and off-key song with a broken gong-like voice:
"I don't see you, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, please wear a long tassel because of your weak crown!
Don’t you see, Ban Ding is far away, Jueyu Qingqi is urging Zhan Yun!”
Along with his broken and out-of-tune roar came from the speakers, and gradually, a chorus of singing roared out:
"A man should be in a dangerous career! How can he let a scholar's crown ruin his life! The country is in danger as if there are too many eggs! The competition between feathers and plumes will never stop!
Abandon my old pen! Keep my wartime pen! With one call of comrades, more than a hundred thousand people will sing war songs and join the army together! Clean up the dust and swear to sweep away the Japanese slaves without caring about themselves!"
Accompanied by the chorus of "the flag is fluttering, the horse is rustling".
A scene of soldiers marching across a bridge while singing in unison and holding their heads high.
This episode is over.
"The red flag is waving, crossing the river and the sea...the red flag is waving, crossing the river and the sea..."
I heard weak singing and tapping sounds in my ears.
Jia Xu wiped away his tears and turned around, only to see his grandfather half-squinting his eyes, beating time with his hands, and humming a song.
But the tune and lyrics he hummed were different from those on TV.
I looked at the subtitles.
It turns out that the lyricist of this song is Brother Hong, but not the composer.
This song is borrowed from a military song.
I glanced at my grandpa, whose skin was already saggy and wrinkled and covered with age spots. He nodded his chin and hummed the lyrics "Red flag waving, across the river and sea".
Maybe these are the real lyrics of the song?
Jia Xu finally couldn't hold it back and was still blinded by the wind.
ps: The TV series will end in the next chapter. I have already thought about what I want to make for the first movie. I will choose one of the two and write about it.
I'm famous and expert, so why am I still having chapters blocked?
