The War of Resistance

"Who still has something to eat?" someone asked in a low voice in the darkness.

But no one answered him.

"Who still has something to eat?" The man asked again without giving up.

This time someone replied: "I understand, are you hungry? Can you calm down for a while? Who doesn't want to eat what he has and keep it for you?"

"Whoever has the leftovers has nothing to eat, and you, the old pig, have nothing to eat, because you are just a pig and can eat more than me." Li Dabai muttered.

The person he called "Old Pig" was naturally Zhu Yuliang.

But this time Zhu Yuliang didn't answer Li Dabai's words. He was leaning on the slope with his rifle in his arms. He was also hungry, so he might as well save some energy.

Now in this darkness, it's not just the two of them, all the remaining sixty or so people from the original Hao Xiazi Company are here at this time.

They also ate something, but it was limited to the surplus food they brought with them, such as sweet potatoes or pancakes given to them by the common people.

It’s been another day of fighting and marching, and how can we possibly survive with only the little food we carry with us.

So some people are starving, and some people have already fallen asleep. According to their words, even if they die, they will still be asleep, but they will never wake up again. You won't be hungry when you're asleep, and you won't even know you're hungry when you're dead.

Just when someone was snoring, someone finally spoke in a low voice.

This time it was Lao Qiuzi who spoke: "I don't know if Shang Zhen can do it."

Of course, Lao Qiuzi's voice was also very low when he spoke, and it sounded like he was talking to himself.

However, at this time, behind Shang Zhen's back, he no longer called Shang Zhen a "Northeastern guy", which also reflected a change in Shang Zhen's status in his heart.

"Sir, it will definitely work." Someone answered.

Now those who still call Shang Zhen "sir" can only be new recruits.

If it were normal, if the recruits answered the conversation casually, they would definitely be scolded by the old man. I'm talking, what's the trouble with your grandson?

It's just that this time the old ball didn't train the new recruit who answered the question without permission. Instead, he said as if to comfort the new recruit and to comfort himself: "Well, I think it's okay, I think this kid can do it too. Besides, the big guy and the little guy can do it too." Won’t the thin guy still follow me?”

The big guy refers to the big old fool, and the skinny guy refers to Qingfeng Li.

As for Wang Xiaodan, he also went with him. Shang Zhen originally didn't plan to take Wang Xiaodan, but Wang Xiaodan, how should I say, in Northeastern dialect, he wanted to go with him. Shang Zhen also took him with him.

Shang Zhen took those three men to attack the Japanese army in Niuzhuang, but he didn't take anyone else with him!

According to what he told everyone, this was also the first time he accidentally killed one of his own. The incident started because of the three of them, Qingfeng Li, so naturally they had to be taken along with them in this sneak attack on the Japanese army.

Both recruits and veterans expressed their opposition to Shang Zhen's decision.

They followed Shang Zhen to fight the Japanese so far. Although their company had suffered more than half of their casualties, the Japanese casualties were undoubtedly greater. They could not tolerate Shang Zhen ignoring their existence, and they also wanted to fight the Japanese!

But Shang Zhen flatly rejected their request.

Shang Zhen said to them, you were not my soldiers in the first place. This time I accidentally killed one of our people, then I will seek revenge on the Japanese.

As for you, I give you a choice.

The four of us went to Niuzhuang to attack the Japanese. You just stay outside. Any one of you can wait outside.

If we don't come back alive, forget it. If we come back alive, whoever among you is here will be my soldier from now on, and whoever will discuss life and death with me in the future.

Your other option is that anyone can leave. I don't care whether you go to find the main force or become a deserter. I will not object.

When Shang Zhen said this, some veterans said again, we don't have to wait for you to come back alive, we will go with you to fight the Japanese now!

Such veterans are such as Ma Erpao, such as Lu Yifei, such as Lao Qiuzi, such as Zhu Yuliang.

But Shang Zhen still refused.

Shang Zhen added, "Don't rush to express your stance. Haven't you seen that there are more people who have not expressed their stance?"

It's not sweet to force a melon. I said, I'll leave you a choice. It's not bad to fight the Japanese tonight. Besides, we may not die if we go. I have been fighting Japanese for seven or eight years, and many Japanese have died. But I am still alive and kicking!

Having said this, Shang Zhen stopped talking and walked away with his three people.

Shang Zhen was so angry that he cursed in the team, scolding those who didn't express their opinions.

But Ma Erpao had to admit that what Shang Zhen said was right. He voluntarily followed Shang Zhen to fight the Japanese, but most people really didn't express their stance! Even though everyone's face was very unnaturally red at the time.

Even Ma Erpao's EQ and IQ person never thought that Shang Zhen would do something like this, and the other veterans couldn't figure out why Shang Zhen didn't take them with him to fight the Japanese this time.

At this time, Shang Zhen, who had entered Niuzhuang, was also lurking with Li Qingfeng and the other three.

The battle during the day also caused a lot of losses to the Japanese army, so the Japanese army did not withdraw, but stayed in Niuzhuang for the night.

As a result, the people who remained in Zhuangzi were in trouble again.

At this time, the situation on the entire anti-Japanese battlefield was still that the enemy was strong and we were weak, and the Japanese army was still attacking cities and plundering territory.

Because they were attacking cities and plundering territory, and did not involve occupying most of China because they had insufficient troops, the Japanese army would naturally not play any appeasement policy with the Chinese people, so they would not kill anyone on sight, but they also killed people like crazy!

However, when Shang Zhen and the others came in, the massacre by the Japanese army had already ended. Shang Zhen did not know how many people the Japanese army had killed this time.

But this time Shang Zhen thought carefully, even if he saw the Japanese army killing people, he would never take action!

In order to kill the Japanese, he accidentally killed all his own people. He was really helpless when the people were killed. Now he could only wait for the Japanese army to attack late at night when they were asleep, and then avenge himself and the people.

Of course Shang Zhen understood that if he ordered those soldiers to follow him to fight the Japanese, those soldiers would definitely come.

However, Shang Zhen didn't want to do this. He never considered himself a leader, so what power did he have to decide the life and death of others?

Besides, the quality of this group of veterans and recruits is really not high. This is not only a matter of low military quality, but also of poor ideological quality. Without anyone to take care of them, they are likely to just let the sheep go.

You still have to worry about carrying such soldiers, why don't you make the mistake?

In addition, there is that one that only costs ten thousand.

That person who only became a millionaire has killed hundreds of strong men. If a person like this stays in the team, he will be a disaster sooner or later!

Maybe Cheng Wan would trick many people to death just to save his own life, but he had no reason to kill them, so he simply gave him a chance and let him get away with it justifiably!

As for Chengwan, if he stayed to avenge his nephew, he would have to be prepared to die. In that case, he would not be half-hearted in following him.

However, Shang Zhen considers this possibility unlikely.

When Shang Zhen found out that he accidentally killed one of his own, his mind was also broken.

It was just that his long-term thinking habit forced him to calm down, and now that he had entered a latent state, he simply didn't think about anything. He sat against a wall with a bag made of cotton trouser legs next to him. It contains the grenades that Wang Xiaodan risked his life to get back.

The grenades were also padded with cotton wool. Shang Zhen was afraid that the grenades in the bag would collide and make a sound that would alert the Japanese army.

In the dark night, Shang Zhen just leaned like that and closed his eyes. No one knew whether he was asleep or not, just like a child who lost his parents when he wandered away.
