troubled times reckless

After these words fell, the entire mountain seemed to quiet down.

There was a commotion in the Japanese camp below, but there was still no movement.

I hid in the dark and prepared a sniper rifle long ago.

"Our Commander Liang said that you are just a coward who can't even protect the one you love. Come out and let our Commander Liang teach you what it means to be a man!"

Suddenly someone stood up, and I could see clearly that it was indeed Sakuma.But where he stood was a blind spot.I'm not entirely sure I can kill him.

I ordered left and right: "Take out the cloth from Haoyuan's mouth and shoot him in the leg."

"Yes."

When a bullet passed through Song Haoyuan's thigh, he was hanging and shaking his body, screaming.

The officer took a few steps forward with a gun in his hand. When everyone's attention was on him and Song Haoyuan, I lay down in the grass and aimed at the target. A bullet pierced through Sakuma's chest. .

His eyes were still looking at Song Haoyuan's direction, but he fell straight down.I looked back at Haoyuan again, only to see bright red blood pouring out of his mouth——Haoyuan was also shot in the chest, and his clothes were stained red...but I didn't shoot.

Since it's not me, then...

I can't help but smile wryly.

It turned out that when I was lying in the grass to attack Sakuma, Sakuma wanted to kill Haoyuan...

"Brothers, go ahead!"

According to the original plan, my troops swooped down the mountain with guns in hand, taking advantage of the confusion of the Japanese army.

Relying on the high-quality Japanese-style equipment, our charge was out of control, and the regular army had killed a bloody road, and the puppet army was even more insignificant.

On the mountain road, there were still two hundred miles left to break out of the occupied area. Looking back, I saw that the rest were in rags, a total of 56 officers, plus a battalion establishment.

A few skinny horses were running on the mountain road, their bodies covered in soot, but in the middle of the road in front of them, there was a man blocking him, holding a machete in his hand, followed by a group of brothers.

I thought, I must be dreaming, how many times I dreamed of hope, actually painted a fairy tale dream in reality.

His complexion is good, and his muscles have regained their cold and hard lines, but they are covered with the scars left by me once, and he looks hideous, which proves that he once belonged to me.

His original face was heroic with banditry, but now it is full of hostility and evil, dressed in black, like a Shura, and his eyes are no longer arrogant, but deep and bottomless.There is a horizontal scar on the straight bridge of the nose, created by me.

Stopping, I smiled in the dream, but my heart was a little ashamed...

I know, he likes my appearance, but my current appearance can't be called Fengshen and handsome, it's just a mess.

No matter what, I want to keep the best side in his eyes...

Suddenly, I understood the joy and regret that surged up when meeting the sweetheart of those girls who described being spoiled without makeup...

When I spoke in a deep and hoarse voice, I haven't had a drink of water for a long time: "Meet you again."

To me, he's even more charming.It's a pity that my current appearance is really not good. I feel ashamed to face such a high-spirited and shady him.

He rode over and I told the left and right not to shoot.He also drove his horse to the front.

He held a machete in his hand: "I always made me wait until this day."

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked.

The cold blade touched my throat, and I had prepared thousands of words to say to him, but the only thing I really said was: "I have always only had you in my heart. I like you, and I don't regret it at all...you Let's do it."

The heavy blow landed on my abdomen, blood spilled from my mouth, I fell off the horse, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment...

...There was a lot of noise around me, and I fell into a moment of darkness...

----

When I opened my eyes, it was dazzling sunlight. I turned my head with difficulty, but what I saw was a quaint wooden window. Outside the window, there were yellow leaves falling everywhere.Youfeng sneaked in gently, bringing coolness and gentleness.

At that moment, I didn't know where I was or who I was.

The sky reflects the golden light of the leaves, and the yellow and orange leaves are blown down by the autumn wind, spinning and dancing. I am deliriously reminded of a poem - "Leaving the heart and going to autumn, the flowers are empty and the smoke is flowing."

There is a soft and delicate bedding under the body, and the pillow exudes a pleasant fragrance.

Sighting back from the window, I scanned the room.

Shensi gradually came back...

I remember……

I……

It's like dreaming about my sweetheart...

There was a creaking door, and clanging footsteps approached. In the lying vision, I saw a person pushing the door in. Only the chest could be seen, and the steps were steady. The yellow-green military uniform showed the traces of time...

Heh, the color I haven't seen for a long time... Where is the Central Army...

It seems to have been reduced to a memory from a previous life.

I don't understand.

Time travels, and the scenes seem to overlap again, as if returning to the former battlefield.

And all the indulgences that happened when I returned to my hometown were like an absurd drama.

In that drama, no one can restrain me, no morals and military orders bind me, it is a free stage.

"Liang Hao!!" The visitor leaned over the bed to look at me, and said in a rough voice, "Haha, you really woke up."

He stuck his head in front of me, and I saw who was coming.

"It's me, Yue Weiren." He smiled carelessly.

I searched for my memory... This person was my partner during the Northern Expedition. At that time he was the commander of the regiment, and I was the chief of staff of the regiment headquarters. Later, he was promoted to the commander of the division during the battle. After being injured, he returned to Guangdong to recuperate, and I became Acting teacher...

"Yue...cough cough...Brother Yue..." I struggled to sit up.

Yue Weiren hurriedly helped me up and brought me a glass of water: "Come on, drink water first."

I swallowed it, my throat became clear, and my thoughts gradually cleared up.

Only then did he focus on him, only to see that Yue Weiren's face was still fleshy, he had put on a lot of blessings, his beard had grown around him, and he had a naturally old-looking face.

"Where is this?" I wiped the water stains around my mouth, "Why am I here?"

He smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about this..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a newspaper from behind and handed it in front of me: "You've been lying down for a long time, I'm here to surprise you!"

I picked it up suspiciously, and only then did I see clearly the headline on the front page of the newspaper, which took up almost the entire page: "The Anti-Japanese Warlord Liang Hao Destroyed the Tenth Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Greatly Boosting the Prestige of Our Chinese Army".

I was stunned for a moment, and I burst out angrily: "Suppress the fart, it will be difficult to escape, these people put gold on their faces all day long, whitewashing the peace!"

"Why do you still have such a bad temper!" Yue Weiren shook the newspaper in his hand: "This is not the Central Newspaper, it is run by the North China University itself."

I was taken aback, and took a closer look: "It's also...the above said to avoid conflicts, I still stay in the Northeast and don't implement the policy, so I won't be reported anyway."

"It's the national policy to fight against the outside world first..." Yue Weiren took the empty cup from my hand and put it on the table.

As a colleague, he was a rare soldier of integrity.From the beginning of the Northern Expedition, I have respected him from the bottom of my heart.I didn't realize it when we cooperated back then, but once he recuperated and left, I immediately became powerless.

During the siege, I didn’t get any support from the friendly army, the telegrams I sent didn’t respond, and I was blamed for the failure of the battle when I fell into an isolated city. After the bloody battle, I led my troops back, but I saw that the person who was supposed to meet me had a banquet in the city and took the third concubine , People who shouted the slogan "beat the old warlords" have already used their convenience in the army to make opium money.

I still remember breaking through and returning to the camp, when I first entered the city tower covered in blood, I rushed in, but I saw them laughing loudly and having fun in the gambling house, each holding Meijiao Niang and talking lewdly.

I was panting, my face was covered in black soot, my whole body was stiff and I couldn't speak.

"Mr. Liang, come back after changing your clothes, and see how you scare him?" One of them patted the trembling Miss Wu in his arms and laughed at me.

I struggled to make a sound: "Yu led his troops to attack the city, and six out of ten victims...you wait..."

They looked sympathetically but mockingly.

I was so ashamed and burned by the eyes around me that I was almost ashamed.Turning around and walking, but on the corridor, a slender hand grabbed the sleeve: "Ah Hao..."

She wears a golden bracelet on her hand, as if she just got off the gambling table. She is already a middle-aged woman, but she still has charm. Others say that I look almost exactly like her when I was young, but I am more masculine and mature. Heroic.

I looked at this woman with smeared red lips, who once gave birth to me, and now has become the wife of Party member Liang Zhiyuan.

I pulled my hand away: "Get out!"

When the team marched to Wuhan, everything was in chaos.

The Northern Expedition fought the Northern Expedition, and one faction attacked another.All the comrades in the trenches were killing each other.In their mouths, they all claimed that they were the real successors.

The killing and blood continued while shouting all kinds of doctrines.

At this time, Liang Zhiyuan went down the field.

And I was blamed for disobeying the military order, and I was dismissed from the post of division commander.

"Ah Hao, I will always recover, you can rest assured." At that time, Liang Zhiyuan said to me earnestly.

I sneered: "Are you looking for someone to give you money again? The compradors of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortia have made quite a few demands."

"It's all about the revolution."

I looked at him indifferently: "When I was young, you persuaded me to join the revolution, saying it was a trend. I believed your words, and I came. You told me that the most important thing for a revolutionary soldier is to be clean, and I believed your words again." , these years in the army, it can be considered to be done. But so what? Those who can make money, those who are ruthless, have become big bosses. You have to meet with the leased person tomorrow, do you think I don’t know? You I have both power and money, and I want to be a revolutionary soldier..."

"Ah Hao..."

"Looking at your face, I am self-disciplined, but after a long time, I am just a pawn of yours. Who do you think I am?"

After that, I resigned from the army and returned home.

After going around for so long, it turned out that I was the one who was naive.I'm the only one who wonders.

With my disappointment and remorse for wasted years, I got on the train to leave.

Some people are willing to follow me, or because of some old-fashioned thinking that one minister does not serve two kings, or admire my personality, or have nowhere to go, I took them in.

I wanted to go back to my hometown to make up for the past youth, but in the end, I still embarked on the road of resisting Japan.

Just when I was lost in memory, Yue Weiren patted the newspaper beside me and said, "Liang Hao, to be honest, during all these years in the military, I couldn't understand your style of conduct. I always felt like an old warlord, but Knowing about your anti-Japanese deeds this time, I can’t help feeling ashamed..."

I raised my dirty eyes and looked at him.

"Although you used to say what you did in the past, I didn't expect that you had your home country in your heart, and you had already prepared for it. When you returned home, you organized an anti-Japanese team. For this alone, I can't match you..."

"But you are too hard-hearted, extreme in thinking, decisive in your actions, and not very clever in your wrists..." Yue Weiren suddenly smiled as he spoke, "You have such a temper, if something goes wrong in the future, if you want help, remember to call Me." He patted my shoulder.

I was silent, and after a while, I asked again: "Where is this place?"

"This is my home. Didn't I tell you before that I'm from Peking."

I froze for a moment.

"The higher-ups have heard about your anti-Japanese actions. Let me come over to meet you."

"Oh." Some of them nodded in disbelief.

"By the way, the person who went to meet you was my newly recruited adjutant. At first, he was very resistant to the task, but I told you many of your previous heroic deeds. He was very surprised, and later he was willing. went."

I opened my eyes wide.

"Unexpectedly, I came from a bandit gang, but my consciousness is very high. I met him on the way back to Beiping. He knew that I had been in the army. He said that he had a team and wanted to participate in the Anti-Japanese War." Yue Weiren sighed: "Before, The above said that they would send me to Jiangxi to suppress the Red Army, and it was already done, but for some reason, they changed their order to let me come to support you. Hey, you said... The people are so poor and weak, and their neighbors are strong enough to invade the country, but the Red Bandits plot to disrupt the country , do they want the country to perish and then quickly? Really..."

With dry lips, I interrupted: "You...that...adjutant, can I meet..."

He was startled, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Oh... you said that... I thought you had already met, he came to tell me when you woke up. You are in a coma these days, he is old Sitting by the side and looking at you. I heard that you gave him all the food, grass, and luggage for the team he summoned."

Suddenly, an indescribable strong emotion welled up in my heart...

Yue Weiren suddenly turned his head and yelled outside: "Wang Quan'er! Come in for me!"
