Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and grab the equipment. Are you waiting for me to help you clean it up? Are you waiting for the Japanese planes to come and blow up all the equipment?"

The leader had spoken, so the regiment commanders stopped being polite and quickly ordered their team members to grab the equipment, especially the cannons and machine guns. The personnel from several regiments gathered around a heavy cannon and started arguing.

Shadan looked at the excited crowd and felt speechless.

Looking at the members of their independent regiment, no one went to grab the equipment. They all thought the equipment was rubbish, troublesome and low-grade.

It’s not as good as the equipment in your hand.

At this moment, no one knew what moved Mingyue, who was standing aside, had tears in her eyes. She was proud of Shadan and the Independent Regiment.

I couldn't help but walk to his side and hold his hand tightly.

Shadan didn't notice this scene yet, but the commander next to him saw it but didn't dare to look at it any further.

The little girl in my family has a hot temper.

When she broke into the headquarters alone, she went straight to the commander for help. This was the second time the commander saw her anxious about a man.

The first time was of course the commander himself.

Mingyue might have been unable to help but express her thoughts, but to outsiders, it was clearly not the case.

Now, we see the two of them holding hands again, which clearly means something is going on.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, the commander quickly shifted his attention to the side.

Next, each group started to grab things. Ten groups grabbed things together, and the speed was really fast.

The political commissar of the independent regiment led personnel from other regiments to the place where a Japanese regiment died and asked them to continue looting.

As for the members of the independent regiment, they buried their fallen comrades with heavy hearts.

After witnessing what was happening before his eyes, the division commander was deeply moved and felt great admiration and appreciation for the bravery and fearlessness shown by the independent regiment.

He decided on the spot to add additional troops to the independent regiment and quickly issued an order to implement this as soon as possible.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the team leaders who had looted the most equipment and supplies lowered their heads one after another, as if there were good things under their feet waiting for them to discover. They buried their heads deep, hoping that the commander could not see them, and would do best if he could treat them as if they did not exist.

The division commander looked around and noticed that all the regiment leaders had their heads down. He knew in his heart that they were unwilling and all had their own little thoughts.

It is not advisable to stay here for long at this time. After all, the Japanese army is very likely to send planes to bomb us later. We must make a prompt decision and order a total retreat.

As for the issue of replenishing the independent regiment's troops, it can only be discussed later.

As for the ugly behavior of the regiment leaders just now, it made the division commander feel extremely helpless and even a little annoyed.

Several main regiment commanders standing by were so embarrassed that they dared not look directly at the division commander - they were so shameless when they were competing for other people's resources, but now they have become silent when they are needed to send troops to supplement the independent regiment!

How would Mingyue and Shadan view themselves in this case? It was really too embarrassing!

Alas! Thinking of this, the teacher couldn't help but sigh heavily...

The division commander turned his head and looked at the independent regiment that was burying their comrades, his heart filled with guilt.

"Brothers of the Independent Regiment, on behalf of everyone, I salute you!" said the division commander solemnly.

Shadan and Mingyue heard the sound and looked over.

"You are all great. You have made great contributions in this battle. I will apply to my superiors to credit you with great merits!" the division commander continued.

Mingyue and Shadan looked at each other and smiled with relief on their faces.

"But we must evacuate immediately. Japanese planes will be here soon. Everyone pack up your equipment and get ready to go!" the division commander ordered.

Soldiers from each regiment began to pack up and prepare to evacuate the battlefield.

Shadan looked at his dead comrades and secretly swore in his heart that he must avenge them.

"Brothers, let's go!" Shadan shouted and led the soldiers of the independent regiment, following the main force and leaving the battlefield.

On the way of retreat, the division commander was always thinking about how to replenish the independent regiment.

He knew that those regiment commanders would definitely not be willing to hand over their soldiers to the independent regiment.

After all, they all developed from nothing, so of course they understand the importance of soldiers.

However, the independent regiment did perform very well in this battle. If we don’t send them more troops, how can we be worthy of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives?

The commander decided to think of a solution after returning.

He was going to find the chief of staff and the political commissar to think of ways to get more troops for the independent regiment, or transfer some people from other troops.

No matter what, he must make the independent regiment strong and become a truly elite force.

At the same time, Shadan was also thinking about the future battle.

He knew that the next time he encountered the Japanese, they would be even more ferocious.

However, he was not afraid. He believed that as long as the brothers of the independent regiment were there, they would be able to defeat the enemy.

Mingyue followed Shadan silently, and she had her own little thoughts in her mind.

She was still immersed in the pain of Shadan and didn't feel at all that her behavior today was different from before.

I just want to snuggle up to that silly boy and give him comfort.

In this way, the team moved forward towards the distance with different thoughts in mind.

They don’t know how many difficulties and challenges are waiting for them ahead, but they are not afraid and move forward firmly.

But when they finally returned to Changping area, Shadan was soft-hearted and let those who were alive go home to reunite with their families, but what about the people who were not alive?

The result was that everyone knew about the tragic situation of the Independent Regiment.

Nearly half of the members of the independent regiment who were once high-spirited and energetic have been left on the battlefield forever, leaving only cold corpses.

In just a moment, the entire Changping area was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, as if even the air had become heavy.

Looking around, white mourning banners were hung in front of every household, and the originally bustling streets became deserted.

Every family is immersed in great grief, and cries of grief echo across the land.

Some families have lost their pillars, some have lost their children, and there are even young children who have lost their fathers and become fatherless... These tragic situations are unbearable to watch.

Basically, you can see a funeral being held in every two or three households. Filial sons and grandsons, wearing sackcloth clothes and white mourning clothes on their heads, escort the bodies of their relatives to the burial place with tears on their faces.

The people around were all moved to tears as they watched these scenes, their hearts filled with sadness and helplessness.

Such a tragic scene is so shocking that it makes people sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

Shadan was also deeply touched by the scene before him.

It has been a long time since I saw such a miserable scene. The worst time was when I was in the county brigade. At that time, he had not yet completely taken power and did not feel it deeply.

Now, half of the soldiers under his command were killed or wounded, and this was under the idea of ​​putting people first. Seeing the familiar people he had been with day and night gone, he felt heartbroken!

The division commander and several main regiment commanders couldn't help but shed a few tears when they saw this scene.

Every time a battle was fought, a death had to be reported, and this was the responsibility of the subordinates; I had never witnessed it with my own eyes.

In addition, the recruited players came from all over the country, so the feeling was not very real. But now they are seeing the children of ordinary people in the surrounding areas, and they are also heartbroken.

As the leader of these people, the division commander wanted to say something to the common people, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

In the end, I could only sigh and leave.

Each regiment and division commander has his own things to do, especially the division commander, who has to recommend credit to the independent regiment.

Return to the headquarters as soon as possible to discuss the brilliant achievements of the independent regiment.

However, just before leaving, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and visited each regiment commander one by one to find out whether he could leave some troops to reinforce the independent regiment.

Unfortunately, things went against our wishes and the responses we received were extremely disappointing.

All the group leaders hung their heads, looking like eggplants hit by frost, lifeless.

Faced with this situation, the division commander could not help but get angry and rebuked bitterly: "You took the equipment and robbed the equipment so naturally and without mercy, but now you are even reluctant to send troops to replenish the independent regiment! Are you just going to watch them get into trouble? I am really ashamed!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the regiment leaders and making them even more ashamed. But even so, no one was willing to stand up and express their willingness to provide additional troops for the understaffed independent regiment.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely solemn and dead silent.

"Ugh!"

Leaving behind a sigh, floating in the air.

All the regiment leaders are willing to come to support us even if they all die in battle.

I'm sorry, it's impossible to replenish the troops of their independent regiment.

After all, when each group recruits personnel, whether it is recruiting from the local surrounding areas or going through untold hardships to recruit suitable candidates, they have put in tremendous effort and hard work. How can they give up easily?

Some soldiers have even been with the team for a long time and have established deep friendships with each other. How could they just throw a team member to the independent regiment like discarding garbage?

Isn't it too rash and irresponsible to do so?

Nowadays, most people who choose to join the army do so because of the good reputation of the army.

Although the independent group performed well this time, it is by no means sufficient reason for them to gain recognition from other members of the public, and it is even more difficult for other team members to feel a sense of belonging.

In fact, these regiment commanders are in a difficult situation: if they just replenish the independent regiment with soldiers today, their own teams may face problems such as panic and demoralization tomorrow.

Because of this, after the teacher said a few words of comfort and saw that no one responded, he stopped talking.

Finally, Shadan and the political commissar sent everyone away and returned to Qinjia Village.

Shadan hid in the house alone, feeling sad about the autumn, while the political commissar tried to calm his team members.

After all, many team members were injured in this battle and some suffered from mental illnesses. This could not be taken lightly, so the political commissar had to talk to them one by one.
