Regardless of that era or country, there were initially barriers between urban soldiers and rural soldiers.
Differences in life experience, culture, education, etc. are destined to take enough time for them to gain each other's recognition.
What's more, Gu Xishui comes from the high-ranking Yulin Army, and Lu Sanjiang comes from a factional army marginalized by the top brass.
Although the two of them were in the same army, after fighting this battle, if they died, they would naturally report to the Lord of Hell together, and they might even become friends on the way to hell; if they lived, they would most likely go to their respective superiors.
The guys parted ways.
There is more than a 90% chance that the infantry sergeant from the city and the cavalry sergeant from the countryside will never meet again in this life.
This is not just because of the cruelty of war, but perhaps more because of two different worlds.
But Gu Xishui's anxious eyes made Lu Sanjiang's heart shake. He looked very much like an old squad leader, taking him as a new soldier to look for his comrades in the wind and snow who were responsible for searching for the enemy.
At that time, he was looking at the road ahead like this, urging himself to go faster and faster for fear of falling off the horse.
"Hey, Xiaobai, are your friends over there?" Lu Sanjiang turned around and asked.
Gu Xishui was stunned, who is Xiaobai?
"Oh, no, it must be a pretty boy, asking you! Are there any friends of yours over there? Aren't you from the Sixing Battalion! How come you are so familiar with our 67th Army?" Lu Sanjiang pretended to be careless while controlling the speed of his horse.
asked.
The laughter of several cavalrymen could be heard nearby.
Although it was an urgent rush to rescue their comrades, this did not prevent them from listening to Squad Leader Lu teasing the elites of the Sixing Battalion.
For this unit from the Central Army with the title, "Little Boy" is quite an appropriate title.
Gong Shaoxun in front also heard the laughter coming from more than ten meters behind him. He frowned but said nothing.
Optimism is the nature of the Northeast Cavalry. No matter how difficult the environment is, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, and if the head falls off, it will only leave a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl.
So what if there are thousands of Japanese invaders ahead? We cry when our comrades die, but we still have to laugh when we should laugh.
This is also a kind of temperament, which is unique to the Northeast Cavalry.
It is precisely because of this temperament that the Northeastern cavalry was able to defeat the Japanese cavalry in the Jiangqiao Cavalry Battle a few years ago. It was also able to survive countless dangerous battlefields from North China to Southeast China, and it was able to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness even after constantly recruiting new troops.
.
Only then did Gu Xishui realize that the cavalry sergeant leading his pack horse was asking him.
Because he was born with a handsome face like a scholar, this is not the first time someone has teased him with this title.
However, the last time the guy called him that was more than a year ago, when the furious Gu Xishui beat him to a pig's head in a military challenge. Who in the 542nd Regiment of the 88th Division didn't know that there was a bad-tempered scholar in the regiment?
A superior soldier who has been in the army for two years can defeat a veteran who has been in the army for four or five years.
After this battle, no one called him that again.
But this time, Gu Xishui did not respond with anger to the cavalry sergeant whom he had fought side by side for a week but did not know much about.
Gu Xishui on horseback looked towards the gloomy night, listening attentively to the faint explosions in the night. He was silent for a moment and said: "Brother, I don't know if you have ever liked a girl! I like her very much.
That kind of thing, when you see her, especially when she smiles, you feel that the sky becomes brighter, and those flowers and plants that usually look inconspicuous are extremely beautiful.
Even if she gets angry and frowns very hard, you will feel how unfair the Creator is, why he put all the good things on her, even anger is so beautiful."
"Fuck!" Lu Sanjiang cursed in frustration.
What makes the cavalry sergeant from the countryside depressed is not that he has never met a girl he likes, but that Xiaobai talked a lot about it in a sophisticated manner, but he could only understand five or six points of what Teliang said.
What is Zhong Ling Yu Xiu? Is the girl called Zhong Ling or Yu Xiu? Why should we not place objects or balls? Didn’t I just call you a pretty boy? As for mocking us for being uneducated?
However, there is no place to express this kind of depression. How can Lu Sanjiang say that you will die if you speak plainly? Wouldn’t that expose his own shortcomings?
However, even though he was depressed, Lu Sanjiang still realized that the pretty-faced sergeant had a crush on a certain girl. His smile could make the sky light up, and even his anger was beautiful.
"Go on, we know that you like a girl." Lu Sanjiang's words were much gentler, and he added a comforting word at the end: "The girl is waiting for you in my hometown, right? We'll get started later.
You have to be more careful when the time comes. After we finish fighting the Japanese, you can go back and marry her. If you lose arms or legs, it would be unfair to the girl."
Gu Xishui didn't answer, and looked into the distance with gentle and sad eyes.
"Huh? That's not right! What I just asked you was whether there are any friends of yours in the two guard camps, and what does it have to do with the girl?" Lu Sanjiang turned around and happened to see this scene, and his heart twitched involuntarily, and finally found out what the two people were asking.
The answer seems to be a bit misleading.
"She's not in her hometown!" Gu Xishui shook his head slowly, looking into the distance with stars twinkling in his eyes. "She's there!"
"A female nurse from the 43rd Army?" Lu Sanjiang was stunned.
At this moment, Lu Sanjiang finally understood the eagerness of the pretty-faced sergeant.
The woman who made the man feel like it was dawn, was on the battlefield, on the dangerous battlefield.
He and she are men and women, but they are also warriors. They have their own missions and can only go to their own battlefields.
His battlefield is over, and now he has to rush to rescue his lover, that's it.
Therefore, although he had never ridden a horse, he fixed himself in the clumsiest way and asked himself to increase the horse's speed.
He was afraid that it would be too late.
Although Gu Xishui never said those three words, for some reason, Lu Sanjiang, who didn't know a few big characters, was so blessed to understand the thoughts of the pretty-faced sergeant.
It’s too late, how painful it is!
The kind of pain that comes from the bottom of your heart is so painful that every breath of air makes your heart feel like needles pricking your heart. Lu Sanjiang, who watched the veteran squad leader rushing toward the enemy plane, knew this very well.
He didn't even have time to say to his brother: Brother, you can't die, I haven't learned the combat skills you taught me yet! Didn't you say that you want to take me home, build a big house with our family, and let us be neighbors, and then ask my sister-in-law to help me?
Let’s talk about a daughter-in-law who will give birth to several babies, and your big fat boy will take her up the mountains to hunt rabbits and foxes, and then go down to the river to fish and catch shrimps! It’s still the same things we did when we were kids.
But, it’s too late!
There was no time to say a single word.
His brother stood helplessly in front of him, being shot through by crazy Japanese bullets. Until he breathed his last breath, his brother's eyes were still open, looking at the blue sky.
In the gray pupils, there was no reflection of the blue sky and white clouds.
The elder brother may also want to say something, and also want to explain to him and let him take care of the big fat boy.
But, it’s too late!
There was no time to say a single word.
Lu Sanjiang's heart aches every time he thinks about this matter.
His nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. The cavalry sergeant who didn't look back replied angrily: "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. Sit tight!"
The legs slightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse, which had already connected with the cavalry, waved its mane, snorted happily, exerted force on its four legs, increased the horse's speed by 20%, and pulled the pack horse forward at a gallop.
"Lv Sanjiang, what are you doing, you idiot? Don't throw me down." A cavalry officer who was marching at half a horse's speed was startled and yelled at Lu Sanjiang.
.
Maintaining this horse speed is the optimal horse speed calculated by the cavalry based on the actual situation after walking hundreds of meters. It can not only ensure that they can rush to the blocking position in front of them at the fastest speed, but also ensure that they will not hurt those who have never ridden a horse before.
The infantrymen were thrown off their pack horses.
Although the Japanese military pack horses have reins and are docile after special training, they are not equipped with saddles and stirrups. Even if the horse does not move, the person riding on it may slip off, let alone the horse running.
Moved.
"Speed is the price of a soldier! Don't you often say that speed is the life of our cavalry?" Lu Sanjiang replied distantly.
While choking the cavalry captain unable to reply, he quietly kicked the horse's belly to increase its speed.
The cavalry carried the infantry and moved forward at a speed that exceeded the five-kilometer cross-country speed of the future fully armed soldiers.
The cry of killing is vaguely identifiable!
