Rise From Eight Hundred

The 23 Japanese soldiers who came to wreak havoc in Xiaozhuang Village, including a wolfhound, did not escape, and all died in Xiaozhuang Village.

But Xiaozhuang Village did not suffer a good fate. Among the ten people hit by Japanese bullets, six died on the spot, and four were seriously injured. In addition, eight people were stabbed by bayonets, two were seriously injured, and seven or eight were slightly injured in the desperate fight with the Japanese.

Fortunately, the guard platoon brought first aid kits, which at least stopped the bleeding of the six seriously injured villagers.

But even so, plus the three people in the family of the old village chief who died earlier, Xiaozhuang Village died 17 people, almost one in each family.

There was crying on the rice field, especially the girl who killed the Japanese infantry squad leader with a bayonet in the end. After killing her enemy, she rushed to the two old men and the middle-aged man and cried heartbreakingly.

After asking, Lao Hei found out that they were her grandparents and father. No wonder she risked her life to stand with several big men and surround the Japanese soldiers holding samurai swords, and finally killed the Japanese in front of the great talent without fear.

The deep hatred made this originally simple and kind girl forget her fear.

War does not believe in tears.

This is still a battlefield. Crying alone cannot solve the aftermath problem. The dead are dead, but the living must live tenaciously.

This is a Japanese infantry squad. They disappeared for no reason. The Japanese army will certainly organize more people to search. The guard platoon can pat their butts and leave, but Xiaozhuang Village cannot. Once the Japanese army finds this place, everyone may not escape the fate of being slaughtered.

Lao Hei found a few people who can speak in the village and told them the situation. After listening, several people were silent. They summoned a dozen strong men to discuss it a little and found Lao Hei again.

"Boss, we have thought about it. All of us, young and old, are fleeing to the south, but the Japanese killed 17 people in our village. We can't just let this blood feud go. Most of the men, women and children in our village have practiced martial arts since childhood, and they are still strong. Some young people want to follow you to kill the devils. Do you think it's okay?" said a strong man in his forties.

"It's okay, but there are still many old people and children. If there are no young people to take care of them." Lao Hei looked at the old people and women who were still crying beside the bodies of the villagers, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Then please rest assured, bosses, if the young people go to fight the devils, we will help them take care of their families. We in Xiaozhuang Village are all relatives to each other. Now after this disaster, we are even more like a family. If a family has something to do, we will never let the family of the one who fights the devils drink porridge." Seeing that Lao Hei was moved, the middle-aged man immediately promised.

"Okay, how many people want to join the army, go to that little kid's communication soldier to sign up, and I will arrange someone to take them to chase our large army later." Seeing this situation, Lao Hei no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

In fact, the issue of recruiting new soldiers had been raised by the company commanders long before the independent battalion was ready to withdraw to Jiangbei.

In the mountainous areas of southern Anhui, after several consecutive battles, except for the 7th and 9th companies that retained their numbers, the other infantry companies suffered losses. It was the most desired thing for every infantry company commander to quickly replenish new soldiers and complete the organization.

The reason is very simple. No one knows when this war will end. Only a complete organization can ensure the strongest combat effectiveness. Moreover, the sooner new soldiers are added, the more they can quickly improve their combat effectiveness by bringing old soldiers with new ones. If they wait until they enter the battlefield to train, the new soldiers will basically be cannon fodder, and they may even drag down their comrades.

It’s just that the war situation deteriorated faster than everyone imagined, and Tang Dao, the backbone of the independent battalion, was in a coma, so the matter of recruiting new soldiers was delayed.

The villagers of Xiaozhuang Village proved their bloodiness with blood and the bodies of Japanese soldiers. Hatred can make them firm enough. They are excellent materials for soldiers. Lao Hei will certainly not miss them. He even secretly targeted several strong and sharp-eyed young people to supplement his guard platoon. Whoever recruits soldiers will have the priority to choose. This is an unwritten rule in the army.

There were more young villagers who signed up for the army on the spot than Lao Hei had imagined. There were 18 people, all between 18 and 26 years old, including 17 men and a big girl, who was the woman named Zhuang Damei who killed her enemy with her own hands.

Originally, Lao Hei wanted to refuse, but the woman not only insisted on it herself, but her mother also expressed support. Thinking that there was a shortage of female nurses in the army, Lao Hei finally accepted this brave enough female soldier.

Zhuang Damei's mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties, stood in front of the three corpses and cried with tears on her face, but did not stop her son and daughter from making the choice.

Looking at the pair of children kneeling beside her husband's body, the middle-aged woman touched her son's head reluctantly, wiped the tears from her daughter's face gently, looked at Lao Hei and several soldiers standing upright beside her with tearful eyes, and bowed deeply to them respectfully.

Lao Hei and the soldiers of the guard platoon were tough guys who had experienced the tragic war. They had seen the death of countless comrades and thought they could face everything calmly. Even if there were corpses everywhere, their emotions did not fluctuate much.

But they were wrong. When the mother bowed deeply to them, tears flashed uncontrollably in their eyes.

This was undoubtedly a strong and distressing woman. When the Japanese army killed her father-in-law and husband, she used all her strength to hold her children. She simply hoped that they could live, rather than the meaningless death of the whole family.

But when there was hope for revenge, one son and one daughter chose to join the army, and from then on they would be thousands of miles away from her, and they would never see each other again. The originally happy family, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband were all dead, and she would be alone, perhaps for the rest of her life.

Gu Zang

But she let go.

The mother didn't say anything, but Lao Hei and the soldiers understood that she hoped that these brothers could take care of them, that's all.

"Return the salute!" Lao Hei roared.

All the soldiers present saluted solemnly to this strong woman.

Even Niu Er, who was looking at this place through the scope from a distance, moved his right hand on the trigger to his eyebrows, although he was crawling.

Perhaps Niu Er also remembered his mother! He dreamed of his mother the night before yesterday. He wore a neat military uniform and saluted his mother in a standard military salute. His mother smiled like a dazzling azalea.

At this time, Fang Shiheng, who had always had a wooden expression, finally burst into tears.

When the proud son of heaven saw the woman who was fighting hard to kill the Japanese soldiers and was covered in blood, he suddenly felt disgusted for no reason. There was disgust that women should not be so cruel, and jealousy that women were stronger than him, a man. It was an extremely complex and intertwined dark emotion that could not be expressed.

But when the woman knelt in front of her mother to join the army to avenge her father, and her mother bowed deeply to the soldiers leading the team, the so-called bottom line in his heart that he had read countless sage books was severely impacted by this scene.

He was not as good as these villagers who could not read a single word, far from it.

His so-called death was just a self-touching based on the stories in the books he had read, and when the cruel death was in front of him, he was terrified and confused.

On the contrary, the villagers' thinking was much simpler and more straightforward than him, a scholar who had read sage books for more than ten years. If you kill my relatives, then I will kill you, even if it means risking my own life.

Sons and daughters are like this, so are wives and parents!

In the war to overthrow the country, the so-called mercy and humanity are the reasons for the enemy to continue to kill wantonly.

The weak can only be eaten by the strong.

"Brother, it's not too late to understand now! Just studying is useless, and you have to dare to kill the little devils to be a hero." An old soldier grinned and patted Fang Shiheng, who was crying, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth because he had not brushed his teeth for a long time.

Although Lao Hei disdained Fang Shiheng who was hesitant to kill the enemy, in fact, in order to prevent this young man from doing something irrational, he still sent an old soldier squad leader to watch him nearby.

In the past, Fang Shiheng would naturally stay away from such a guy who didn't even pay attention to personal hygiene, not to mention being taught by him like a teacher, but at this moment, he just nodded fiercely.

Fight against the Japanese pirates, just like this!

Perhaps it was not just Fang Shiheng. When the other nine students were called to help carry the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, their faces turned pale due to the bloody bodies.

At least four or five people vomited on the spot, some were worse than Fang Shiheng.

It was not until this time that they remembered the half-smile on the face of Captain Tang when he ordered them to send 10 people to participate in the battle.

Nothing else, just saying: Everyone can talk nonsense, go to the battlefield to see the real thing, then come and tell me.

This is the real thing!

Lao Hei was more ruthless than Tang Dao, and the task of carrying 23 Japanese bodies was all given to 10 student soldiers.

However, their performance was better than Lao Hei expected. After vomiting, under the leadership of Fang Shiheng, who was most touched, the 10 students wrapped their mouths and noses with towels and completed the task of carrying 23 bodies.

That was not just to train them. After the battle of Xiaozhuang Village, there were many things to deal with later.

Excluding the 18 young men who joined the army, there are still more than 60 people, young and old, in Xiaozhuang Village. More than 60 people cannot just walk away.
