Chapter 48: Raising the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth (Part 2)
Chapter 48: Raising the righteousness of heaven and earth (Chinese)
On November 1, 1937, at six o'clock in the morning, the sky and the earth were still immersed in darkness and coldness, and the sharp whistle ripped through the darkest sky before dawn.
The White Russian soldiers standing there holding a rifle, but napping against a big tree shivered violently.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and watched as the sharp whistle sounded, the military camp that he was familiar with, which was like a garbage dump, had a strange biological power in an instant.
I don’t know how many people ran out of the barracks, no one spoke or made no noise. In the entire empty camp, there were only heavy footsteps rising and falling here, and quickly gathered at a figure standing in the center of the playground, holding a whistle in his right hand and a crutch in his left hand.
The Belarusian soldier, watching the figures gathered together, as heavy as a mountain in the dark, with unpredictable attacks and counterattacks, took a deep breath and suddenly let out a hysterical scream: "Alarm, the Chinese soldiers are mutiny, they are about to escape!"
Those camps that were used to facing a dilapidated camp that had no military value and were of course less likely to be attacked. They were used to doing nothing every day. More than 30 Belarusian soldiers who drank and chatted with women every day threw away the bottles of wine and shook their dizzy heads, which were still drunk and still drunk, and led by the small team leader who had just jumped out of a woman's arms, he tied his belt and rushed out of the warm barracks while tying his belt.
"Crazy", "Crazy" sound of pulling the bolts rise and fall. When the group of untidy soldiers raised their weapons and rushed to the barracks with their "killing aura" and could be called the playground, they still looked immersed in the darkness, arranged neatly in four rows in units of companies, and stood quietly on the playground.
More than 300 Chinese soldiers were inspected by Commander Xie Jinyuan, and these Belarusian soldiers were stunned.
"Yes, it only took two minutes and fifty-seven seconds from the time I blew the whistle to the gathering of everyone.
"Xie Jinyuan's eyes emitted a bright light in the darkness, and he shouted loudly: "But what's wrong with you now? Look at you all dejected and lacking in energy. I, Xie Jinyuan, led the soldiers.
If you don’t have a gun in your hand to foster courage, will you all become a defeated rooster?"
Xie Jinyuan took out a note from his pocket in front of everyone and said, "We have handed over all the guns in our hands, but I want to remind you again that we are not captured by the enemy in disarming! This is the receipt made by Lieutenant Colonel Smith himself, every gun and every grenade we handed over.
Every bullet and every bayonet are clearly recorded on it. When we leave this military camp and return to the main force, we still have to use this note to get our weapons and ammunition.
Here, we record everything clearly, no one can stop us from doing this!"
Everyone's eyes fell on the quotation in Xie Jinyuan's hand. This was before Xie Jinyuan ordered the gun to hand over to the deputy battalion commander for land work.
Perhaps this statute has become meaningless now, but the eyes of more than 300 Chinese soldiers standing in front of Xie Jinyuan were lit up. Under Xie Jinyuan's gaze, they slowly straightened their waists.
"Look at what is the military camp we are stationed in now?"
Without waiting for the subordinates in front of him to answer, Xie Jinyuan said loudly: "There is barbed wire here and a full-frame armed guard. Of course, it looks like a prisoner of war camp! And we seem to be a group of prisoners of war sent here by British troops and taken into custody!"
"But I want to think about it. We fought fiercely with the Japanese army on the battlefield in the north for three months without taking a step back. We only had more than 300 people, and even tens of thousands of well-trained Japanese troops could rush out. We might be surrounded by just 30 or so people.
A light machine gun was trapped. Is the wall that was stumped by a layer of barbed wire and pushed down as soon as it was pushed? Since we have come here with dignity.
Sooner or later, we will walk out with the proof in a dignified manner, take the proof in my hand, and get our weapons!"
Xie Jinyuan pointed to the barbed wire around him and shouted wildly: "I don't know how long we will stay here. Here we are unarmed, and even our own national flags are not allowed to be hung. But it doesn't matter..."
Xie Jinyuan pointed at his heart and shouted loudly: "Because there is a national flag here that will never fall, let alone fade! Now I will lead you to raise the national flag in our hearts!"
More than 30 Belarusian soldiers stood quietly between the sky and the earth surrounded by barbed wire, and quietly watched as the officers and soldiers of the battalion of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, led by Xie Jinyuan, faced the east together, raised their right hands, and greeted their most sincere military salute to the slowly rising sun on the east.
Although these Chinese soldiers were unarmed and even lost their most basic personal freedom, for some reason, more than 30 Belarusian soldiers clearly felt that the power that could only be described as greatness was emitted from these Chinese soldiers.
When more than 300 Chinese soldiers began to line up in neat rows in the military camp and practiced in a company, as the commander's command "one, two, three, four" sounded, everyone straightened their necks. They were shouting hard, and they were shouting desperately. They were using such shouting and screaming to vent their emotions and relieve their tension.
As loud slogans rose over the military camp again and again, more than 300 people raised their feet together, and fell down neatly together, stepping on the hard ground, making a "puff" sound.
It was amidst the heavy and powerful footsteps, and the slogans shouted with all their strength, whether it was a veteran who had been through battles or a new soldier who had just joined the army and participated in the defense of Sihang Warehouse, they couldn't help but straighten their waists. Everyone felt that they were surrounded by something with a hot temperature.
