The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"According to the wartime discipline, all deserters will be shot." Zhao Wenbin's words were still cold and emotionless.

The company commander, Wang Huzi, was lying weakly on a pile of hay, squinting his eyes and resting his mind, waiting for the meal. When he heard the word "shooting", he opened his eyes immediately.

He turned his head to look sideways. Aren't those captured deserters the brothers assigned to his company? His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly got up.

"Damn it, when did I treat you badly and want to be a deserter!" The company commander Wang Huzi rushed over angrily, kicking and cursing at the disgraced deserters.

These brothers all broke through with him in the hail of bullets. They were brothers who could block each other's bullets on the battlefield, but now they want to sneak away and become deserters. This way they can prevent Wang Huzi from getting angry, so they kick hard.

Seeing Wang Huzi yelling and kicking at these brothers, the people around hurriedly pulled him away. If the beating continued like this, he might really die.

"A bunch of bastards, I'll embarrass myself!" Wang Huzi cursed angrily when he was pulled away.

These brothers who were captured also knew the shame of being a deserter. No matter how much Wang Huzi beat and scolded, they always bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Battalion Commander, these are the cowards of my company. I support shooting them. Leave them to me. I will shoot them myself!"

As Wang Huzi said, he waved to his brothers in the company, and they came to grab these deserters and were about to go to the nearby bamboo forest.

Zhao Wenbin reminded coldly: "Commander Wang, don't be selfish."

"No—" Wang Huzi grabbed the pistol and led the captured brothers towards the bamboo forest without looking back. Soon there were several gunshots from there.

Wang Huzi soon came back cursing. Although Yang Ling knew what was going on, he didn't pierce it. They were all brothers who rolled over on the battlefield. It's so easy to get rid of it there. Just let it go, Yang Ling I didn't plan to pursue it. They were all bloody men who had beaten devils. They were lucky to be able to go home alive.

"Wang Huzi, gather the brothers, I have something to say."

Yang Ling also knew that if the brothers' ideological problems were not resolved, they might not be able to reach Chuzhou, and the hearts of the hundreds of brothers who had gathered together would be scattered.

More than 300 rout soldiers from various units and more than 100 brothers from their guerrilla battalion gathered quickly. They were dressed in tattered military uniforms and looked haggard. They were not so much an army as a group of beggars.

Yang Ling tightened his armed belt and walked to a high place, his eyes swept over these dusty and blood-stained brothers one by one, with a heavy heart.

They also used to go to the battlefield with great arrogance, and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on the battlefield where there were mountains of corpses, but because of the incompetence of the chief, they were abandoned. Get confused and become disheartened.

But Yang Ling knew that the war was far from over, and the Chinese nation was still suffering. These veterans had not yet laid down their armor and returned to the field. They had to take up arms and continue to fight against the Japanese invaders until they were driven out of China!

"Brothers!" Yang Ling took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, these brothers raised their heads subconsciously.

Yang Ling continued to say loudly: "Stand up your chests!"

Text Chapter 324 Abnormal Prosperity

The bitter cold wind was blowing, and Yang Ling's roar echoed in the ears of the brothers along with the cold wind, sonorous and powerful. ???

More than 400 brothers subconsciously stood up, but their faces covered with dust and blood were still sluggish, as if they had lost their souls.

"Nanjing City is broken, we lost the battle, are you afraid?!"

"Could we be so vulnerable? We have rolled over the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in Shanghai. We have never seen such a big storm. Why are we becoming soft now and want to be deserters?"

Yang Ling's voice was very penetrating, with doubts and questions that every brother could hear clearly.

These brothers were silent for a long time. After this series of bloody battles, countless brothers died, but now they are all lost in Nanjing, and the chief ran away, and they were also disheartened.

Seeing that the brothers were silent, Yang Ling added: "All of you can speak boldly, whatever you want to say."

"Sir, we're not afraid. We've lost everything. Sir, we've lost our country. What's the use of fighting? Why don't we go home and farm?" As soon as Yang Ling's words fell, a bold brother opened his mouth.

Yang Ling sneered, and asked back: "Who said that if we are all lost, the country will perish?"

Yang Ling paused and continued: "It's true that we lost Nanjing! But we still have [-] million compatriots, millions of troops, and thousands of cities behind us! This city The gain or loss of a place is nothing, the war is not over today, as long as we continue to fight, what we lost today will be regained in the future! We will not surrender!"

"Sir, what if the higher ups surrender?" Someone asked a sharp question.

With the fall of Nanjing, it was a major blow to the people of the country, especially the escape of the chiefs, which made many brothers lose confidence in the government, fearing that they would be intimidated by the powerful Japanese army and choose to surrender.

"I don't know where you heard this news, but as far as I know, the government will not surrender! The defeat in Nanjing is only temporary, and we will soon have new reinforcements coming. , Brother troops are still fighting bloody battles, as long as our army is still resisting, the government has no reason to surrender!"

"Sir, can we still defeat the devils?"

Yang Ling said firmly: "Yes! As long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the devils! Until we drive them out of China!"

Yang Ling's words were firm and powerful, rekindling hope in the hearts of many brothers. The defeat in Nanjing was not the end, nor was the war.

Yang Ling's tone also softened, and he said earnestly: "Brothers, if we soldiers give up resistance, then we will really become slaves of the country. By then, this will be the territory of the devils. Don't worry about yours." Are parents, wives and children living in fear? That devil is so cruel."

These brothers have all seen the ferocity of the devils. Wherever they went, there was almost no human or animal left. Those villages and towns were burned to ruins. Thinking that their hometown might become like this, they clenched their fists. This is absolutely not allowed.

"Brothers, cheer up, take up arms and continue to fight the little devil to the end! Otherwise, the blood of our dead brothers will be shed in vain!"

Yang Ling's words had an inspiring effect. The blood of serving the country in the brothers' bones boiled again, and they raised their arms and shouted bloody battle to the end!Yang Ling was very satisfied with his listless look.

"Now I order to eat! We can fight devils only when we are full!" Seeing that the morale of the brothers had recovered, Yang Ling stopped talking.

Although Yang Ling's speech didn't have a long speech, it also made it clear to the brothers how important it is. If you really become a subjugated slave, what will happen to you in that day? For your family, for your hometown, you must continue to fight .

"Is it true that the higher ups won't surrender?" Zhang Hongying handed Yang Ling a piece of roasted sweet potato, sat down next to him, and asked worriedly.

The purpose of the Japanese army's capture of Nanjing was to force the national government to submit by force. Now that Nanjing is lost and China's elite has been lost, it is no wonder that Zhang Hongying and the others are worried.

Yang Ling patted her on the shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "Do you believe me?"

Zhang Hongying nodded: "I believe in you."

"That's right, the government will not surrender. Although Nanjing is lost, there is still Wuhan, Chongqing, and thousands of brothers who are defending our country..."

As Generalissimo Chiang said in his speech, when the war begins, there will be no distinction between north and south, and no distinction between people, old or young. Everyone has the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war. Sharp, will also fall into the quagmire.

Now the National Revolutionary Army is fighting bloody battles in the front, and many areas that have not been affected by the war are still enjoying themselves. Many Chinese people will never know how to be afraid unless they have a knife on their necks.

But now the government's front-line army has lost all its elite troops, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have bloodied the battlefield. It can be predicted that in the not-too-distant future, a large number of land and cities in Central China, North China, and South China will fall into the hands of the Japanese army. Facing the brutal Japanese army Only those who have nothing to do with themselves will know how naive and terrible their fantasies were.

The spy agencies of the Japanese army are active in China. They advocated that this war was a personal conflict between them and Chairman Jiang. It had nothing to do with the army or the people, which paralyzed many people. poke...

Yang Ling and the others did not stop too much along the way. They carried a large number of wounded and finally arrived at Chuzhou City after four days and four nights of marching.

Chuzhou was the warning area of ​​Hu Zongnan's First Army. Entering Chuzhou, Yang Ling and his hundreds of brothers were temporarily out of danger.

The whole city of Chuzhou was in a mess. Refugees, old and young could be seen everywhere. Carriages full of parcels blocked the roads. Dirty begging children shuttled and begged among the crowds. The excrement of mules and horses filled the air. There was a foul stench.

Those rout soldiers who broke out from the city of Nanjing roamed the streets in twos and threes. Many of them carried dirty guns, but most of them were empty-handed. It was not known whether the guns were lost or sold for food.

At least Yang Ling saw four or five people dressed as ordinary people happy to exchange various weapons from the soldiers.

Those peddlers surrounded these soldiers and sold all kinds of food and drink, as if they regarded these soldiers as their big customers.

These soldiers who broke out fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on the battlefield for many days, and more or less captured some rare gadgets, which were all cheaper than those peddlers at this moment.
