Chapter 180: The Difference Between Martyrdom and Sacrifice
The battle is over, and everyone begins to clean up the battlefield. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Gui army naturally had to help, but it was okay to help carry down the soldiers who died in battle, and the corpse of the devil was not allowed to be touched.
The soldiers of the Gui Army looked at the two crooked handles, two grenadiers and several 38 covers captured by Huo Xiaoshan and them, full of envy, knowing that their weapons and equipment were not as good as the Central Army, let alone the Japanese Army.
Thinking about the source, these weapons were all captured by the Japanese soldier who had just elbowed the Japanese Shaozo, and the most respected and strong man in the army, even more so ordinary soldiers.
What is the ability, you can't be someone else, you can't be someone can, this is the ability! I haven't even seen the shadow of a Japanese devil on my side, but they have already killed dozens of people! Therefore, the eyes of these Gui soldiers Huo Xiaoshan were naturally full of admiration!
Zheng Youjian naturally also witnessed the whole process of Huo Xiaoshan shooting down the Japanese Shaozo.
Today is enough to make his heart flutter, he is not a self-deceptive person.
He knows that he is good at making money and having fun, but he is by no means a warrior, and when it comes to military command, it is a matter far away, and it has nothing to do with himself.
Therefore, if some soldiers asked him how to deal with the aftermath, he told them that it would be good to ask Huo Xiaoshan directly, and that it would be good to ask Huo Xiaoshan directly after the war, and there was no need to ask himself for instructions.
The three trucks were not damaged, but the driver of the first car was killed, and the driver of the two cars saw that he encountered the Japanese army, and his car was reversing too slowly on the downhill slope, but he stopped the car and ran back, so the car was not less dead but could still be used.
In the end, they pulled all the soldiers who died in the battle to the hill where Huo Xiaoshan and they were blocking, according to a veteran, it is still good to look at the mountain and feng shui as a cemetery.
They dug two pits according to Huo Xiaoshan's request, one to bury the soldiers who were killed when they fled with Zheng Youjian in the car without weapons, and the two platoons led by Zheng Youjian were killed by a dozen or so Japanese soldiers.
Another buried those soldiers who died guarding the armory, of course, including those who could shoot back when they were attacked by the Japanese army in a car, but unfortunately, there were only two, a platoon commander under Zheng Youjian, and one was Zheng Youjian's personal orderly, if it weren't for these two people shooting back and blocking the Japanese army, these two platoons were afraid that they would have been wiped out before Huo Xiaoshan and their rescue.
Counting the only four people in the car with guns, all of them were short guns, one company commander, two platoon commanders and one orderly, two were killed in battle, and two turned around and fled without letting go of a shot.
Huo Xiaoshan asked the soldiers to make two wooden signs, one writing the place where the soldiers of the Fifth War Zone of the National Revolutionary Army sacrificed their lives for the country during the war, and the other writing the place where the soldiers of the Wartime Quartermaster Department of the Fifth War Zone of the National Revolutionary Army sacrificed their lives for the country.
Zheng Youjian had been watching Huo Xiaoshan command the soldiers to do these things, until Huo Xiaoshan ordered the two signs to be used as tombstones to be erected in front of the grave, and then he stepped forward and said to Huo Xiaoshan in a consultative tone: "The deceased has passed away, isn't it a bit ...... to do this A little too much of that? ”
All the soldiers present naturally noticed this scene, and they all stopped what they were doing and watched their conversation.
Huo Xiaoshan glanced at Zheng Youjian, who had an unbearable look on his face, and then looked around at all the soldiers who were silently paying attention, and said in a low but unquestionable tone: "Although the deceased has passed away, we must pay tribute to the deceased and must show it to the living." ”
One sentence made Zheng Youjian speechless and silenced all the people present.
One is a sacrifice and the other is martyrdom, and the difference between the two is self-evident.
But the vast majority of soldiers nowadays are illiterate, Huo Xiaoshan knew that the soldiers had doubts in their hearts, why the same dead people were buried in two places and had to erect different monuments, he knew that he had to explain.
"Do you know what the devil officer I killed said?" Huo Xiaoshan looked around into everyone's eyes and said.
Everyone also looked at Huo Xiaoshan, they didn't know that Huo Xiaoshan could speak Japanese, and they also wanted to know what Huo Xiaoshan said to that devil, but they had been cleaning the battlefield and didn't catch it.
"He said, 'You pigs!' Huo Xiaoshan suddenly raised his voice.
As soon as he said this, sure enough, all the people were angry, everyone has blood, who can endure the naked insult of the invader?
"They're the animals!"
"They Japanese dwarfs are brutes!" The soldiers cursed.
Huo Xiaoshan stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, and the soldiers calmed down.
"Originally, I also wanted to bury my brothers who died in the war together, but I thought of what the devil officer scolded us, so I changed my mind." Huo Xiaoshan brought his words to the point, and when he said this, sure enough, all the soldiers paid more attention to listening.
"Because we are warriors, and if we are warriors, we should die for our country, not martyrdom! If we are soldiers, we can only die standing and not upside down, so we should take up arms and die on the way to charge, instead of being shot and killed by the aggressors on the way to escape, beheaded with knives, and then trampling on our corpses and saying, 'Look, they are slaves, they are pigs!' ’”
Huo Xiaoshan's words were not long, but the impact was extremely strong, and he said it sonorously and powerfully!
Every soldier has blood, and in less than a day, they have seen their brothers die in battle, and they have seen the defeated invaders!
is like dry wood in the hearth, eager to burn for too long, only one kindling is missing, Huo Xiaoshan's translation is not lengthy, this is the tinder! The blood in their hearts boiled, and they didn't know who shouted first: Kill the little devil and avenge the brothers! ”
"That's right! Kill the little devils and avenge the brethren! Everyone shouted, one person's voice was small, but the collective shout was deafening!
The voice of an individual who has been suppressed for a long time can converge into a huge wave after the outbreak, inspiring others and inspiring themselves!
The crowd was excited, and those who heard it were moved, and even the soldiers of the Gui clan who stood aside and had a dislike for them were aroused by the hatred of the same clan and the same species, and although they did not participate in the cry of the struggle, they were obviously no longer calm.
The Gui officer witnessed the whole process of Huo Xiaoshan's killing of the enemy and now burying the dead, and at this time, seeing that everyone was slowly calming down, he walked to the wooden sign of the newly erected tombstone and looked at it again and again. Suddenly, he turned back and ordered the soldiers who had come with him: "Come here, all of you!" ”
Those Gui soldiers obeyed the order and moved forward.
And many of Huo Xiaoshan's group stood in front of the grave but blocked their way, so they all came to see Huo Xiaoshan's instructions, Huo Xiaoshan waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat, and these soldiers flashed aside, Huo Xiaoshan also wanted to see what this Gui officer said.
This officer is similar to other Guangxi people, and he is not tall, but he always holds his chest high, and he is also a veteran at first glance.
He pointed to the two tombstones and said, "Most of you are illiterate, let me tell you!" One says martyrdom and the other says donation, do you know the difference between the two? ”
He glanced at his men with blazing eyes, and his question was a kind of self-questioning, so he did not expect most of the soldiers who could not even write their own names to give an answer, but went on to say: "The common people were killed by the Japanese and called martyrdom, because they did not resist; Only when you die in battle is you called donating your life, and you can sacrifice your life for the country! A soldier sacrifices his life for the country to call it glory, but a soldier martyrdom can only call it shame, understand? ”
"Understood!" All the soldiers replied loudly.
"Since you go to the battlefield to fight, if you die of fighting devils, I will set up a sign for you on your ancestral grave, write your name, and write your life for the country;
If you are killed by devils as a deserter, I will also set up a sign on your ancestral grave to write martyrdom for you, and the word "country" will be spared; If you dare to defect to the enemy, hum ......"
Speaking of this, he paused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and cold.
"If you dare to defect to the enemy and rebel, Lao Tzu will pout your ancestral grave! Do you understand?! He roared.
"Understood!"
The soldiers replied in unison.
This time it was Zheng Youjian's turn and the Central Army was moved.
The Gui army, known as the trump card in the miscellaneous army, is really not chaff, although it has not fought with the Japanese army in a battle at present, but this morale is by no means comparable to Zheng Youjian's old soldiers.
And the style of this officer's speech is different from Huo Xiaoshan's
Although Huo Xiaoshan divided two signs with different meanings, he still pointed out more tactfully that soldiers should sacrifice their lives on the battlefield instead of being killed by the enemy without even bringing weapons.
On the one hand, he said so tactfully because he wanted to take care of the emotions of Zheng Youjian's soldiers, and on the other hand, he was not a person who liked to criticize others.
And this officer didn't have so many scruples, and said what Huo Xiaoshan wanted to say but couldn't say, although the old soldiers who escaped with Zheng Youjian and survived also generally understood the meaning of Huo Xiaoshan's words, but Huo Xiaoshan's speech was measured, and it was more for them to think for themselves.
And how could this officer's merciless words not make people, including Zheng Youjian, hot?
Later generations evaluated several provinces as the least traitors in the Anti-Japanese War.
For example, Shandong, Shandong is the hometown of Confucius, and courtesy, righteousness and shame are the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
For example, in Guangxi, the concept of clan relatives in Guangxi is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people are fierce, and most of the soldiers are honest and simple peasants; in this big social atmosphere, everyone is proud of resisting Japan and killing the enemy, and it is shameful to join the enemy as traitors.
Another example is the Dian army, the Dian army once beat the Gui army to the point that there was nothing to eat during the civil war, and could only feed with black beans, so how could the blood of the Dian army be weak? !
When you think about it, it makes quite sense.
The officer was still satisfied with the attitude of the soldiers under him, and only then turned to Huo Xiaoshan and said: "I, the commander of the 809th Regiment of the 135th Division of the 31st Army, Zhan Teng, the Japanese army has begun to cross the river, and the rescue is late, I hope the little brother will forgive me."
