Rain in January is a rarity in the north, and old scholars may revoke allusions and then chant assertions such as heavenly punishments, but this is a very common thing in the south. In the rainy weather, the house was full of moisture, and everywhere was damp, and a toad weighing a pound almost scared Tan Fei to death when he jumped over the threshold, but fortunately Liu Shishi was not afraid of this thing, and he raised his leg is a kick, and the toad that appeared at the door of the inn swaggered flew over the bluestone steps at the door to the stone road in a parabola.

In order to make the owner angry, the furious puppy black skin rushed out of the inn and bit a big bite on the toad, the result was very strict, the puppy cub was poisoned by the toad on the toad's body, the four legs trembled and kicked towards the sky, and a swollen mouth was two big, if it wasn't for Tang Cheng to wash the puppy with soap horn water, the black skin's dog life would have been gone.

"Its mouth should be numb now, you just feed it a stone now, it doesn't feel it, its tongue is swollen, its eyes are swollen and slit, and it can't see the road clearly, and it can't shout when you want to scream, cook some minced meat for it these days, you slowly pour it down, and it will get better in a few days."

"Company Commander, the black-skinned mouth is still very swollen, and I can't eat the meat and bones I gave it just now, pitiful." Liu Shishi sighed as he looked at the puppy lying at Tan Fei's feet with his head resting on his instep, and then continued to deal with the meat and bones in his bowl.

The puppy cub black skin is a local soil dog in Xiushui, and yesterday he followed Tang Cheng to the contact point of the 20th Army to register and return to the inn, and when it was time for Tan Fei to pick up the black skin in a small alley. Although Tan Fei is used to being taciturn, he is not a cold-hearted person, seeing that this little puppy is pitiful and homeless, he begged Tang Cheng to let him take it back to the inn to take care of it, but he didn't expect this seemingly weak puppy to protect his family, and he was only raised by Tan Fei for one night, and he would already help his master fight the grievances.

"If you want me to say, sometimes, this dog is much stronger than a human, as long as you treat it well, it will remember it and follow you for the rest of its life. I used to know an old hunter who had two dogs at home and would go up to the mountains to hunt, and when the old hunter died, the two dogs starved themselves to death without eating or drinking. This little thing knows how to protect its owner when it's a little bit old, and it can be raised well, I don't think it's worse than the big wolf dog raised by the devil. The fat man who brought a bowl of broth also interjected, and his words were all about liking the puppy.

"I'm back, I'm mad at the dog." Tang Cheng was watching Tan Fei and Ma Fatzi feed the dogs with broth, and the old northeast in a cloak came back from outside with Hou San, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled that he was angry outside. "The guy surnamed Ye on the dog day is not a good thing, I originally thought that it would be a good thing that the goods were willing to transfer a few veterans over for us, but the more than 20 veterans who came as I thought were all fucking able to eat and couldn't move, so I came with two empty hands and a mouth."

Old Northeast obviously suffered a loss, Tang Cheng knew that if he didn't divert Old Northeast's attention at this time, maybe Old Northeast would really be crazy enough to go to the head of the regiment surnamed Ye to fight. "What's going on? Hou San, what do you say? Isn't it okay when you go out in the morning, why do you come back with a black face? After receiving Tang Cheng's hint, Liu Shishi showed the old Northeast a black skin with a swollen mouth, and Tang Cheng took the opportunity to call Hou San aside and ask in a low voice.

"When we left the inn in the morning, Lao Dongbei said that he was going to find the head of the regiment surnamed Ye, and I couldn't stand it, so I had to follow it. I don't know what we said, but the strong men who were originally assigned to us have been transferred back, and more than 20 veterans have been exchanged for us. Thinking that the veterans were stronger than the strong men, I didn't expect that the veterans they sent didn't say that they didn't have weapons, they even had tattered military uniforms, and when they came, they would rush at us to eat and drink, and they didn't give us or quarrel with us, but they just lay down and pretended to be dead. ”

Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't just listen to Hou San and Lao Dongbei's complaints, seeing that the rain outside seemed to be a little smaller, Tang Cheng personally went to the camp of the temporary regiment. Looking at the defeated soldiers who were lying down and sleeping in the barracks, Tang Cheng, who was extremely disappointed, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, originally thinking that these unlanded defeated soldiers would be greatly boosted by the restoration of their military status, but they didn't expect that these guys had become a group of extremely lazy people.

College students like Tan Fei and half-grown children like Liu Shishi can follow themselves to fight devils, but these guys who look stronger than Liu Shishi would rather lie half-starved and sleep in the barracks to catch lice for fun, rather than pick up weapons and return to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army. Tang Cheng put his fingers in his hair and felt extremely frustrated, now he completely understood why the surnamed Ye would easily agree to Lao Dongbei's condition to change people, especially the hint of a playful smile on the corner of the surname Ye's mouth made Tang Cheng deeply discover his shortcomings.

Tang Cheng didn't believe that all the routed soldiers who were gathered would have such thoughts, but after walking through several barracks in a row, Tang Cheng got a look of frustration and helplessness Among the more than 200 defeated soldiers, less than thirty percent of them were willing to return to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army, but the premise was to get weapons and ammunition to equip them, otherwise they could only carry wooden sticks to the battlefield.

Not everyone in this world is not afraid of death, and not everyone has the dream of pursuing a better life. The ragged soldiers would rather open their mouths and show their yellowed teeth and discuss the best and most fragrant meal they had in the sun than take the slightest moment to think about what they should do in the future.

After returning from Tang City, Lao Dongbei knew that he had been fooled, and dug a big pit for himself with the surname Ye that could bury people. "No, I'll go find the one surnamed Ye, the soldiers who gave us can't be relied on at all, and if you take such people to the battlefield, maybe there will be people who will fight us with black guns to save your lives."

"Alright, you can rest, it's not a big deal." Tang Cheng clearly knows a truth, fighting is not afraid of people being timid, as long as the blood is still there, no matter how timid the guy is, he will grow up after a few bloody battles. As long as people work hard, there will always be some changes, but people don't even have blood, then they are powerless, no matter what they have won for them, no matter how perfect their battle plan is, they are just flowers in the mirror, and the moon in the water.

Not all people are like Liu Shishi, compared to Liu Shishi, the troops to which those defeated soldiers belong have been in the army for a longer time, so the problem of laziness and fear of death of those defeated soldiers is more deep-rooted. Tang Cheng found a strange phenomenon, the later the army, the more bloody they are, as long as they are provided with the necessary weapons, equipment and materials, they can fight well, the more the army is formed earlier, their lazy and slippery atmosphere will be heavier, and years of military life have turned them into a new species, called - Soldier ruffian!

They like to steal, they like to rob, they like to intrigue, and they want to fight for the sake of a woman in a brothel, and the only annoying activity is to fight. At the beginning of the Republic of China, China was in the era of warlord warfare, and most of the armies had so-called hatred among themselves, which also made these defeated soldiers also have factions and hills, Tang Cheng knew that these were the key, far stricter than those defeated soldiers who had no weapons or were timid and afraid of death.

Fighting a war is naturally not a pleasant activity, because fighting is a wound and a dead person, and Tang Cheng himself has experienced the cruelty and ruthlessness of the battlefield. While his classmates and friends were hiding in their homes in the Shanghai Concession to eat and drink, he was fighting under artillery fire with his rifles and following the veterans of the Nationalist Army. Death is like dust that lingers in the air, and maybe the next moment it will be yourself who will be enveloped by death. When he was the only one left on the battlefield covered with corpses and bloodstains, that kind of helplessness and hesitation was a nightmare that Tang Cheng never wanted to mention in his life.

Returning to the inn again, the rain outside was getting lighter and lighter, and there was not much time left for Tang Cheng to do so, because he knew that as long as the rain stopped, the temporary regiment would be transferred to the defense area. "Company commander, I think that the veterans in the barracks are not really timid and afraid of death, I think you are deceived by the surface. It's not that they can't believe you, but they don't want to be used as cannon fodder, because we are too strong, so they deliberately do this. Listening to what Tan Fei said was interesting, Tang Cheng immediately set his eyes on Tan Fei.

"What do you think, the temporary regiment was raised by the 20th Army, and these routs have not been in the county for a day or two, but we are not from the Sichuan Army, this is one of them. Second, the 20th Army must have detained all their weapons and ammunition, but what about us, we have two light machine guns for this alone, and the others are also one gun per person, and we still have so many short guns. These routs are not stupid, they can guess that we have fought a big battle by looking at our weapons, and there are many dangers with us, so why don't they hurry up and make a nasty face, so that you can drive us back. ”

"Haha, it's kind of interesting, and this is really interesting, in order not to fight, he deliberately pretended to be like this to provoke me." Tang Cheng was a little stunned by Tan Fei's words, and then smiled. "Then let's take care of it, the more they are like this, the more we can't let them go, it's a big deal to kill a few leaders, and the rest of the people should be more honest."

After noon, the rain that had been falling all morning finally stopped, and Tang Cheng, who had returned to the barracks, was not angry, but calmly dealt with those defeated soldiers. The more they pretended to be indifferent, the more the company commander who looked extremely young the more he laughed, and some people in the rout had already noticed that something was wrong, but they couldn't think of what was wrong.
