Chapter 131: Deserter

In fact, it was not only Gou Defu who collapsed when he heard Liu Lang's almost cruel order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if there was a temptation of 30 percent higher than the salary of ordinary troops, there was still a second lieutenant officer who sneaked into the mountains with his sixteen soldiers during the camp that night, and took all the weapons and equipment with him.

As the saying goes, it is to become a deserter directly.

When the news was fed back to Liu Lang, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. In the military tent, Yu Xiancheng and others, who were still discussing the arrangements for the next day's march, changed their faces drastically.

Since Liu Lang announced the marching order in the mountains in the evening, Yu Xiancheng and others felt that Liu Lang's heart was a little anxious.

In their opinion, the morale of the troops after several days of field marching was already extremely low, and it was even worse to do it again. This desertion incident has almost become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and if the news spreads, the fluctuation of the army's morale may only be the best result. It was only the first night in the mountains, and a total of seventeen people ran with the officers, and as time went on, I am afraid that more and more people would run.

As for whether to recover the deserters overnight, Yu Xiancheng, Chi Dakui and others never thought about it, it was almost half an hour since they found the deserters, and more than a dozen people were like a drop of water in the ocean in the mountains where they couldn't see their fingers in the middle of the night, and it was even more difficult to find them than to climb to the sky. Unless the whole regiment was mobilized to light torches to search, but according to the current situation, no one else was found, and more people ran away, so it was called the loss of the wife and the army.

The top priority at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the remaining sergeants first, and then talk about other things.

"Tuanzao, let's see if we revise the marching plan." Yu Xiancheng still took care of Liu Lang's face, and did not say it too directly.

But what surprised Yu Xiancheng was that Liu Lang's face was very calm, as if all this was in his expectation, but the coldness flashing in his eyes could still make people feel his anger.

As a military commander, the soldiers under his command actually deserted, of course, it is a shame, a huge shame, and anger is normal.

They didn't know that Liu Lang specially arranged the camp on the first day of entering the mountain more than ten miles away from the edge of the mountain, the first was to prepare for the devil's training for the next six days, and the second was to wait for the appearance of those who were not strong-willed.

To tell the truth, if you want to talk about "professional" soldiers, the soldiers of the Republic of China are really called "professions". The purpose of the soldiers of the Republic of China to join the army is very clear, that is, to get paid.

From the collapse of the Qing government and the establishment of the Republic of China to the warlord melee to the revolutionary army's Northern Expedition to nominally unify the whole country, the war in the Central Plains has never stopped. In order to compete for territory and interests, it is also normal for warlords to attack each other. Even the current Sichuan Province is still full of wars, and the curtain of the dispute between the two Liu is opening.

Most of the officers and soldiers almost went to that house when they were paid more, and it was normal for the city to change the king's flag, and there was even a phenomenon of temporary defection in front of the current ocean array for the sake of white flowers.

At this time, the national army was several times larger and far better equipped than the red troops with shuttle guns, but they were still helpless, not because they could not fight, but because they lacked motivation. If it weren't for the collective brain pumping of some high-level leaders in the red army, the bald principal would probably still be able to pat his head and sigh for a few years: it's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's just that the communist army is too cunning.

In fact, the difference between the two armies is nothing more than the word faith, and a soldier without conviction can never be called a real soldier.

American GIs on the other side of the ocean cherish their lives the most, and even the soldier's handbook specifically states that when encountering an irresistible crisis, they can lay down their arms, and to put it bluntly, they will surrender and save their lives. But they pursued freedom and equality, and for the sake of this belief, they could still go forward and tell the world their courage with sacrifice. In World War II, the 380,000 American GIs who fought from across the coast for several years died in the final battle is the best proof of this.

Of course, at the time of the invasion of foreign enemies, the vast majority of the soldiers of the Nationalist Army finally had their own beliefs, and the four words of defending the homeland and defending the country made China's most elite 800,000 troops still go forward in the face of the artillery fire of the Japanese invaders on land, sea and air, and smashed the wild talk of the Japanese invaders destroying China in three months in Shanghai with huge casualties of 300,000. In the entire Chinese theater, whether it is on the frontal battlefield or behind enemy lines, the national army has lost 1,327,000 casualties, and the red troops have proved their courage with the huge sacrifice of 160,000 killed in battle.

(According to the figures of military and civilian casualties in the Kuomintang region.) In February 1947, the National Military and Civilian Population Casualties Statistics in the Report of the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government on the Losses of the Anti-Japanese War and Japanese Compensation showed that 3227926 soldiers were killed or wounded in combat (including 1328501 killed, 1769299 wounded, and 130126 missing), 422479 soldiers died of illness, and 9134569 civilians were killed and injured (including 4397504 killed and 4739065 wounded). The total number of casualties among the military and civilian population in the country is 12784974. This figure does not include the number of military and civilian casualties in Taiwan Province, the Northeast Region and the Liberated Areas.

The number of casualties among the people in the 7 anti-Japanese base areas including Jinchaji in the liberated areas. In April 1946, the "Preliminary Statistical Table of Population Losses in the Eight Years of the War of Resistance in China's Liberated Areas" statistics: "According to preliminary statistics: during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the seven liberated areas of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Jinsui, Shanxi-Hebei, Luyu, Hebei, Shandong, Suzhou-Anhui, and the Central Plains were killed by the enemy and died of injuries and diseases, 3176123 2760227 were arrested, and 2963582 were widowed, lonely, and physically disabled. Seeing this set of figures, the author burst into tears, and the people's heroes are immortal. )

This trip into Sichuan is an oven, an oven to keep the chaff, and only the most determined soldiers are qualified to go on the battlefield with themselves against the little devils. It's not that Liu Lang is too anxious for quick success, but that March next year is coming.

It's just that although he is ready to be a deserter, Liu Lang is still angry. An officer, with all the soldiers under his command, became a deserter in the whole system, this kind of behavior has exceeded Liu Lang's tolerance limit.

"The plan goes on as usual, and I'll find the deserters." Liu Lang waved his hand and said categorically.

"Sir, how many people are needed to search the mountain, I'll arrange it. If you dare to be a deserter, Lao Tzu must kill them. Chi Dakui opened his eyes angrily and said without hesitation.

"You restrain the soldiers, I'll just go alone." Liu Lang shook his head and refused.

"Tuanza, are you alone 。。。。。。?" Yu Xiancheng still needs to be persuaded again, and when he saw Liu Lang, who had already begun to sort out his equipment, he swallowed all the remaining words back into his stomach.

Liu Lang's attitude says it all. He's going to single-handedly go after the damned deserters.

To be honest, from the perspective of safety alone, Yu Xiancheng is not too worried about Liu Lang. In such an environment, there is not much difference between dozens of people and one person, and it is even safer for one person to have a small goal.

If the deserters just become deserters, maybe the commander is too lazy to bother and run away, but if they dare to hurt the commander who is chasing after them, then they will get into big trouble

More importantly, in terms of individual skills, the entire independent regiment is indeed unmatched.

A Hanyang-made, a barge gun, the bayonet Liu Lang did not enter the sheath at all, the snowy blade was inserted directly into the leggings, and Liu Lang stuffed two base bullets into the bullet bag on his waist. Seventeen fully armed deserters who had experienced the bloody battle of Songhu, even Liu Lang did not dare to take it lightly.

This is a battle to reshape beliefs, and Liu Lang doesn't mind proving it with blood.
