In his opinion, what kind of official position can't be obtained by such a master in the army who is like a god? And what kind of high-ranking military officer would not quickly promise a high-ranking official and a generous salary to win him over? Unless that person is a fool.
(At this time, the principal, who was studying a map of the Great Wall in the Military Commission office in Nanjing, sneezed several times.)
Zhou Wen also solemnly returned the military salute. No amount of respect could be overstated for such a sentimental and righteous anti-Japanese martyr.
"Brother Lei was a soldier?"
Zhou Wen waved his hand to signal Lei Dahai to relax.
Lei Dahai was a little at a loss and said: "I don't deserve to be called like this, sir. I have served in the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army before."
"An officer?"
"He is a company commander." Lei Dahai was a little ashamed of the Northeastern Army's performance during the September 18th Incident and did not want to talk too much about his Northeastern Army history.
Zhou Wen didn't bother, and nodded his head: "Being able to hold the position of company commander in an elite unit like the 7th Brigade shows that Brother Lei is a capable person."
Lei Dahai thought of the people who fled all over the mountains and fields on the night of the September 18th Incident, and he felt even more ashamed. He kept saying: "How can the 7th Brigade be said to be elite? And I am a courageous and incompetent person who will only follow everyone."
He ran away together without even firing a shot."
Having said this, he may be recalling the shame and frustration of fleeing without a fight that night. He recalled that because of the non-resistance of his army, his relatives and fellow villagers were massacred by the little devils. Lei Dahai has been doing this for several years.
The strong man who rarely sheds tears, his eye circles became red again.
"No, although the 7th Brigade lost Fengtian without firing a single shot, what does it have to do with you junior officers? What does it have to do with those ordinary soldiers who were ordered to retreat by the superiors and didn't even have time to get their weapons?"
"The ones who are really courageous and have no eggs are the senior officers of the Northeast Army, that Young Master Zhang..."
Zhou Wen stopped talking when he said this. What's the point of talking about it now.
Now it is time for the tough man in front of me not to live in the shadow of the past, but to stand up with his head held high.
He immediately changed his words and said: "Besides, didn't you pick up a gun and resist bravely? I don't want to say how many battles you have participated in and how many little devils you have killed in the past few years, but today in front of me, in order to protect the village, you
The villagers and people have given up hope of survival, are worried about our safety, and dare to return to help in the face of death. This is the true nature of a hero."
When Zhou Wen said this, he said very sincerely: "To be honest, Brother Lei, this is the first time I have seen you and your brother, who dare to face death twice for strangers in one day.
Heroes, I really admire you, you are well-deserved heroes."
"So, you can hold your heads high in front of anyone. When the government and the army of the Republic of China did not dare to do anything, you were without any support and faced hardships with poor weapons, insufficient food and clothing, and no warmth.
Under certain conditions, I dare to fight against the little devils who are armed to the teeth, and dare to face the threat of death again and again."
"My brothers and I would be proud to know you."
"You have done your best. You don't owe anyone, including us who accidentally saved you. On the contrary, the government of the Republic of China owes you, and this country owes you."
This was Zhou Wen's first heartfelt appreciation and praise for a person. His past life memories told him the difficult conditions under which these heroes fought tenaciously against the Japanese invaders, and at the same time how many sacrifices and hardships they made.
.
Under the pressure of the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression, in a difficult environment with no logistical supplies at all, on the vast snowy plains and in the mountains, these true backbones of the Chinese nation, these good sons and daughters of China born from the black and white landscapes, actually competed with the Japanese army.
Hundreds of thousands of the most elite Kwantung Army fought bravely for a full 10 years.
In the past, he only learned about the feats and stories of these heroes from books and movies and TV series.
Those are just words and film and television plots modified with artistic techniques. They may be touching, but they are not profound.
But today, he witnessed with his own eyes the quality and sentiment of these elite warriors, and how unhesitating they were in the face of death.
Lei Dahai was completely touched by Zhou Wen's sincere words, which deeply touched the grief, anger and grievances he had felt in his heart for many years.
In the Northeast and in Rehe, they threw their heads and blood and fought bravely against the Japanese invaders. However, they never received recognition and support from the National Government. Even the news that they had achieved a series of achievements against Japan in the Northeast was not recognized by the government.
-The top government officials deliberately concealed it in order to cover up their own incompetence and fear of Japan, not to mention newspaper reports and propaganda.
As a result, they have almost become a group forgotten by the Chinese people. Most Chinese people do not know that there are countless good Chinese sons and daughters on the land of Northeast China, in the black and white mountains and rivers, still bravely resisting the Japanese invasion, and are still fighting against the inhumane
The robbers demonstrate the unyieldingness and strength of the Chinese nation.
Even in the telegram sent by the Peking Military Commission to recruit them, there was not a single word about their past achievements. It was as if they were recruiting a group of outlaws who were robbing their homes and homes, calling on them to join the National Army as long as they wanted to resist Japan.
Just like not joining the National Army means not resisting Japan, just like these heroes of the Volunteer Army who have fought against the Japanese invaders for several years are not resisting Japan.
In fact, if Lei Dahai and the others were not really desperate and running out of ammunition and food, they would not have thought of defecting to the National Army.
Because they have long been disillusioned and disappointed with the National Government.
And now, their savior, a colonel of the National Army, a great master who has shown combat power and achievements far beyond their knowledge in front of them, understands them so well, praises and admires them so sincerely, you
How can you not be moved by Lei Dahai?
At this moment, this northeastern man who had fought tenaciously against the Japanese invaders for several years and never lost his will and strength was choked up and his tears were already flowing down like a river.
At this moment, he only felt that his years of grievance and resentment had been vented, and the spirits of his lost brothers and comrades in heaven had been soothed.
So, this Northeastern man, who was nearly 180 centimeters tall, squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands and burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances, injustices, pains and sorrows he and his group had suffered.
.
Xiao Qi, who was next to her, was already crying like a child.
Zhou Wen stopped Xu Dacheng, who wanted to come forward to comfort him, and wanted them to have a good cry, cry out all the negative things in their hearts, and throw them out from the bottom of their hearts.
