The War of Resistance: Chapter 834 The Wounds of the Old Army
A marching pot was propped up in the open space in front of Wang's ancestral hall. The fire had already been set up, and the white water in the pot was bubbling, but it was a pity that the white water vapor was just water vapor after all, and it could only quench thirst but not greed. .
The soldiers were sitting or squatting around the pot, eating dry food and drinking water. Although there were about thirty Shang Zhen and the others, there were also twenty or so soldiers from the Northwest Army.
The company commander Zhan sent a platoon to follow Shang Zhen and the others. Except for one squad left to watch the boat, the rest followed. The rifles they used were not as good as the 38-type rifles used by Shang Zhen and the others. Woolen cloth!
They brought over to Shang Zhen the box cannon they used, which was borrowed by Company Commander Zhan from their battalion commander. If Company Commander Zhan and Shang Zhen had handed over more Japanese weapons, they would have to give some points to the battalion.
The reason why Company Commander Zhan wanted to send people over was naturally because beating the devils was not just Shang Zhen's own business, and he sent people to help Shang Zhen and them. If the weapons were really handed over, then Porters also need people.
But now, apart from the difference in accent, if you look at the clothes, you can't tell which is the Northeast Army and which is the Northwest Army. They are all wearing ordinary people's clothes.
Those clothes were bought temporarily by the soldiers on the north bank of the Huaihe River. The landlord's family has no food surplus, so how many sets of clothes can the ordinary people have? So it's really not easy to put together these clothes.
So there are all kinds of clothes. Although there are two-piece suits that only those who work hard will wear, there are also cotton robes, which are worn by businessmen or gentlemen.
What is a cotton robe? Just think about the long down jackets of later generations.
This thing is good for keeping warm, it can protect below the knees, but it is inconvenient if you are talking about marching and fighting. It is like a long skirt worn by women. If you don’t hold the skirt or put a special skirt behind it Flower girl, do you see you stumbling while running?
It is also like a TV series "Huo Yuanjia" in later generations. You see, Huo Yuanjia and Bie had to pin the hem of the robe to the waistband before starting the martial arts competition.
Because of the inconvenience of marching and fighting, the soldier in the robe cut off the hem of the robe with a knife.
The soldiers are so rough, what good skills can they have, so some of them still have cotton covers underneath!
In this way, even though they arranged their respective rifles in a reasonable order, they looked like bandits descending the mountain!
Don't just say that people in the Northeast are like bandits, so don't people in the Northwest look like bandits?
Where is there no bandits nowadays? It's just that the bandits in the northeast are called beards, the bandits in the northwest are called horse bandits or swordsmen, the bandits in Hubei are called lake bandits, the bandits in Shandong are called thieves, and the bandits in the southwest are called mountain bandits, that's all.
The soldiers dressed like bandits, and they talked like bandits. They ate dry food with pickled vegetables and drank plain water, but even though they ate and drank, they didn't stop their mouths.
"F*ck, come down, come down, I'll cut your head off and fart!" Hu Zhuzi said vaguely when he saw a little boy's face on the big wall next to him, with dry food in his mouth. .
Hu Zhuzi had reason to be angry, it was only because Shang Zhen didn't care about his theory of letting smoke rise from the ancestral graves, so he wouldn't let his own people really cook in the ancestral hall.
And Shang Zhen also specifically said, don't be so fierce with the common people, we beat our devils, the common people here are not friendly to us, at most we don't protect them.
When Shang Zhen had something to say, Hu Zhuzi didn't dare to be violent with the common people, so Hu Zhuzi could only speak vaguely in a low voice.
But even so, Shang Zhen overheard him while he was muttering, and Shang Zhen turned his head and glanced at him.
Hu Zhuzi saw that Shang Zhen was coming, and he was afraid of being scolded, so he subconsciously smiled at the child on the high wall.
It’s just that he didn’t smile, it’s okay, his smile, just his big mouth and grin, surprised the child who was lying on the high wall watching the fresh, and then the soldiers heard "ah", the child Then it disappeared on the top of the wall, and there was a "plop" inside the wall, and then there was the cry of a child.
Why did it disappear? The wall must be as high as two people. Thinking about it, no matter how powerful the child is, it is impossible for him to climb to the top of the wall by himself. He should be stepping on the top of the wall on the ladder. It is estimated that he was scared by Hu Zhuzi's smile and jumped off the ladder. fell down.
In this way, Hu Zhuzi got into trouble again.
Shang Zhen belongs to the Northeast Army, and the Northeast Army belongs to the old-style army, in other words, it is actually a warlord army.
Shang Zhen has the consciousness of being a soldier and fighting to protect the country and the people, but he is not a member of the people's army with political ideas after all.
He also just thinks that he is a soldier if he wears a military uniform, and if he doesn’t wear a military uniform, he is just an ordinary citizen. As for himself and others, he thinks it is wrong for a soldier to bully the common people. Not to mention the kind of troops that do everything with corrupt military discipline.
Since he became the chief officer of their team, they don't eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, or smoke him. It's not unreasonable for the people under him to listen to him.
Shang Zhen glared at Hu Zhuzi, and heard that the child on the other side of the wall was still crying and at this moment, an adult spoke again.
Shang Zhen and the others couldn't understand what they were saying, so it was probably like what the Northeast Master said when he was training his children, "You prodigal child, should you look at those people outside?"
"I don't know if the child was broken or not." Shang Zhen said.
When Shang Zhen said this, the soldiers all looked at him, and finally Qiu Bo stood up and ran to that house, walked over to the door of that house and knocked twice "boom" and "boom".
But before he knocked on the door, there were children crying and adults scolding in the yard. After he knocked twice, the yard became quiet instead.
Qiu Bo waited for a while and saw that no one came to open the door, so he could only say loudly: "My fellow, I'm sorry, I frightened your child, did the child break?"
It's just that after Qiu Bo finished yelling, there was still silence inside, as if the movement in the yard just now was an illusion of Shang Zhen and the others.
Qiu Bo had no choice but to look back at Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen also had a headache. The people here made it clear that they didn't want to talk to them, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Shang Zhen could only let Qiu Bo come back. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before ordering: "Be careful after eating, the people here don't like us so much, isn't it because there are traitors in this village?"
Hearing what Shang Zhen said, the soldiers were all terrified.
Yes, the people in this village should be able to see that they are the Chinese army anyway, in other words, they belong to our own Chinese team. Why do they dislike our own people so much?
It is undoubtedly reasonable for Shang Zhen to suspect that there are traitors in the village. The common people are afraid of traitors and dare not entertain them. This is logically reasonable.
Under Shang Zhen's arrangement, the soldiers became more careful. Not only did they increase the number of sentries around the village, but they also released people outside several big families in the village.
According to Shang Zhen's understanding, the richer people are, the more likely they are to be traitors, while the poor are less of a problem.
The reason is that the rich have a lot of wealth, and when the Japanese devils come, the rich may become traitors in order to keep their property, while the poor will have no scruples if they are too poor.
It can't be said that Shang Zhen's understanding is wrong. Of course, there may be other reasons why the people in the village don't want to see them, but the people's houses are closed, so who do they ask if they want to ask?
Shang Zhen didn't know that the situation they were facing now was the flaw of the old-style army.
They just love the country and love the people with simple feelings, after all, they lack self-consciousness in action. If they know how to go deep into the masses and mobilize the masses, they will not be called the old-style army.
Seeing that the situation was unclear, Shang Zhen was unwilling to act hastily, so he finally took Shi Xiaowan to the southeast~www.mtlnovel.com~ That was because he wanted to visit the town called Liuji.
The reason why he brought Shi Xiaowan with him was because Shi Xiaowan was already a half-sized boy and it was easier to disguise him with a disguise.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Shang Zhen and Shi Xiaowan rushed back to Dawang Village.
At this time, Qin Chuan, who was guarding the southeast of the village, ran out and reported to him, "Finally someone from the village came out to talk to us."
"Oh? Are there really traitors in this village?" Shang Zhen asked.
"No, there are no traitors. The people in this village said that the army stationed in their village was a disaster and tormented them. They thought we were the same as that army and were not willing to talk to us." Qin Chuan replied.
"Then why did you come out again now?" Shang Zhen asked puzzled.
"The old man said, he thinks our group is good, better than the previous army. We stayed outside the ancestral hall, neither entered the ancestral hall nor harmed the people." Qin Chuan replied.
