Chapter 135: Dare to Die (Part 2)
"We are willing to obey the command of our superiors, but the order we received was to withdraw to the Jurong area to rest and wait for a while. If the orders are changed every day, it may be difficult to convince the public, so we also asked the commander to decide." Zhang Baohua said with a difficult face. It was obvious that he had a problem for Zhang Xinghan, and his meaning was very clear as long as you can convince the soldiers of the entire battalion.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. In the face of national crisis, everyone has the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the war. As a party and state soldier, you should be prepared to sacrifice your country at any time." Zhang Xinghan looked at the defeated soldiers around him and said to Zhang Baohua: "Captain Zhang, please order immediately, the whole battalion gathers, I have something to say."
"Yes," Zhang Baohua responded happily, stood attentively, then turned around and said seriously: "The whole camp gathers and asks the chief to give a lecture."
As soon as Zhang Baohua finished speaking, the defeated soldiers sitting around him started to move one after another. It took several minutes to slowly get together in a mess, but the formation looked like a group of unruly farmers, standing without standing or sitting without standing.
Zhang Xinghan saw it and couldn't help frowning. He turned around and walked to Li Dashan, and said in a solemn tone: "Dashan, take off the belt and give it to me."
"Why are the group seats?" Li Dashan opened his glasses and couldn't his pants fall off as soon as the belt was unbuttoned?
"That's so much nonsense, hurry up." Zhang Xinghan urged.
"Yes," Li Dashan responded, and then took off his belt in front of everyone, held the waist of his pants in one hand, and handed the belt to Zhang Xinghan with the other hand.
The people around him didn't know what to say when they saw this. The older girls and wives were even more embarrassed and turned around quickly.
Zhang Xinghan took the belt and his face suddenly became cold. His eyes swept at the chaotic group of defeated soldiers. After being swept by Zhang Xinghan's cold eyes, some of the defeated soldiers suddenly became quiet. However, the listless look on his face showed no fighting spirit.
Many people were even more dissatisfied with Zhang Xinghan's disturbance of their rest. The retreat over the past few days has exhausted them. Now they just want to sleep, even if they give them a few pretty-skinned girls, they don't want it.
Zhang Xinghan glanced like a knife and swept through the crowd of defeated soldiers. He found several defeated soldiers with messy standing postures. He immediately walked straight towards them with a stern face and carried a belt. When he arrived, Zhang Xinghan raised his belt and attacked several defeated soldiers. He shouted while fighting, "The soldiers must have a soldier, and they all stand up for me."
"Stand all" and pulled several defeated soldiers in a row. Zhang Xinghan put his hands on his hips, and pointed at the straps in the distance with his other hand and shouted loudly.
As Zhang Xinghan beat and scolded each other, the defeated soldiers quickly stood up.
Zhang Xinghan put his left hand on his hip and his right hand, paced back and forth in front of the team several times, then stopped satisfied and said with a deep voice: "Soldiers should look like they are in the army. As soldiers, we can shed blood and sacrifice and suffer defeat, but we cannot be embarrassed."
"Sir, if you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. Brothers, you still have to hurry up later." A captain company commander said with an impatient look on his face.
"Yes, tell me quickly." Some of the defeated soldiers followed.
"You can't leave anymore. From now on, your second battalion will be temporarily returned to my Zhongrui regiment command."
As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, more than one hundred defeated soldiers were immediately in an uproar:
"Didn't you agree to withdraw to Jurong's reorganization? Why did you change the order again?"
"What the hell is going on? Why do you follow the command of your Zhongrui Group?"
"Isn't this accompaniment? Your Central Army will bully people with its power and want us to go ahead and die as cannon fodder. I won't do it." The captain company commander just now took the lead and opposed loudly.
"We will never be cannon fodder to us, we do not agree."
All the defeated soldiers immediately followed in unison and protested loudly.
"Bang" Zhang Xinghan took out his gun and fired a shot at the sky. Before the gun was dissipated, he heard Zhang Xinghan say coldly: "According to the personal order of the commission, those who dare to disobey will be shot on the spot."
As soon as the gunshots sounded, the defeated soldiers finally calmed down, but the captain was obviously not a good person. He looked at Zhang Xinghan, then glared at each other and said, "Don't think that we are afraid of you when we use guns. We also have guns, and we will never let you bully them."
As he said that, he turned his head and asked loudly, "Are you brothers?"
"To" more than a hundred defeated soldiers responded in unison and then raised the guys in their hands.
As soon as the defeated soldiers had any abnormal movement, Li Dashan, behind Zhang Xinghan, surrounded him with all the officers and soldiers of the guard company. The two sides were tense and looked at each other.
"Very good, you really have a habit. You don't dare to fight against Japan. The internal strife is very active." Zhang Xinghan smiled relievedly and said loudly: "I was ordered to stay in Taicang County. There are less than 3,000 soldiers. Not only are they lack equipment, but most of the soldiers are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. The Japanese are well-equipped and well-trained, and at least tens of thousands of them are said to be."
"There is such a huge gap in strength, and victory or defeat seems to be self-evident, but have you ever seen the officers and soldiers of the Central Sword Regiment take a step back? Do you know why? Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the Songhu battlefield. Since the 10th Army of the Japanese Army landed in Hangzhou Bay Jinshanwei, our army has lost its battleground. Now the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway and the highway have been cut off by the Japanese invaders. The Beijing-Shanghai Railway and the highway are the only way for retreat for hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, and the gains and losses of Taicang County are directly related to the safety of the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and highways."
"So, the importance of Taicang County is self-evident. Therefore, even though I knew it was death, I, Zhang, resolutely led all the soldiers of the regiment to resist. By the time of the war, our regiment had more than half of the casualties. Just when Taicang County was in danger, it was the fellow villagers of Taicang County who went out of the city to help fight and help us repel the Japanese invaders."
"They are unarmed civilians. The commissioner said it well. Once the war starts, no matter how men, women, young and old, they have the responsibility to defend their territory and fight against the war. They are just a group of ordinary people. When the country needs it and the nation is in a critical moment, they dare to stand up and fight hard. What I want to ask is, as soldiers, as Chinese soldiers, when are you inferior to ordinary people?"
Zhang Xinghan's questions made the defeated soldiers speechless, and some even lowered their heads in shame.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinghan continued to yell while the iron was hot, "As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days will last for a while. Now the Japanese invaders want to destroy our country and destroy our race. At this time, our country and nation are in urgent need of protection. Who will not be the ones who are in the army at this time? As soldiers, as a bloody man, we must be worthy of the military uniform and the blue sky and white sun above our heads to fight for the country. What's the regret of death?"
"Do you still remember those brothers and comrades-in-arms who died on the front line? They are also humans, and they also have parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, but they dare to sacrifice their lives to fight against the enemy with death. Think about them, don't you feel ashamed?"
"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. If anyone of you is unwilling to follow Zhang to the front line and kill the enemy to serve the country, then take off your military uniform and equipment and leave by yourself. I will never stop you, but I want to say, "A man wants to be a good man, and I have to be a man of shame. I have been a man of martial arts since ancient times. I have been in danger of the country and everyone has the responsibility to defend the country. If a man is a man, he should be responsible and should be a bloody man. I will never be a coward who has no seeds."
"The chief said so humble, and he is willing to return to the front line with you, continue with the Japanese, and avenge my sacrificed old commander." Zhang Baohua had already been flirting with Zhang Xinghan's words and was filled with righteous indignation. In addition, he had long been famous for Zhang Xinghan, so he immediately took the lead in expressing his opinion.
"I'll go and avenge the group."
"I will go, too, to avenge our dead brothers of the 73rd Brigade."
Most of the defeated soldiers shouted loudly with red eyes. Most of them were excited by Zhang Xinghan's extremely sensational words and filled with righteous indignation.
However, some people did not express their opinions, and seemed to be worried, including the captain company commander who led the way to confront Zhang Xinghan.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop the shouts of most of the defeated soldiers and said loudly: "I remember someone said just now that I want to take you to be cannon fodder. Today, I, Zhang Xinghan, left my words here. All officers and soldiers below my Zhongrui regiment will come forward every time they fight. They will never retreat. If you violate it, everyone can shoot me in black. I, Zhang Xinghan, have no complaints."
"Is this what you said? Don't regret it." The captain company commander asked loudly when he heard this.
"I will never regret it when I spit on one mouthful," Zhang Xinghan replied loudly.
"Okay, Liu Guodong and all the officers and soldiers of the company are the only commanders. Please remember what I said today." Captain Liu Guodong stood attentively with his head raised and his chest raised.
"Only the commander's order is to follow," the defeated soldiers behind him shouted in unison.
"Yes," Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a slutty voice: "However, I also say ugly things ahead. Once I go to the battlefield, those who dare to retreat without authorization and disrupt the morale of the army will be killed without mercy. If you regret it now, it is still too late."
"I will never regret not retreat." All the defeated soldiers shouted in unison under the leadership of Zhang Baohua and Liu Guodong.
"Okay, this is like a dignified Chinese soldier. Brothers, I will give you a word to prevent foreign humiliation and repay the country's kindness. I would rather die in battle than live a life. I hope that my brothers will keep it in mind, encourage themselves and others, fight against the war to the end, and return my mountains and rivers," Zhang Xinghan said with a stern expression.
"To the end of the War of Resistance, I will return my mountains and rivers"
"The War of Resistance Against My Country"
"The War of Resistance Against My Country"
All the defeated soldiers shouted loudly in unison.
The people present were also deeply infected and shouted in unison:
"To the end of the War of Resistance, I will return my country and mountains..."
