The soldiers' kneeling did not make Lu Meng's ambition soften, and even, he had a resentment towards these soldiers who could only bow down and flee, it was because of these people that the country became like this, he hated it so much! "Give me back to the position immediately, and if I do it again next time, I will not be spared!" It's not the time to be reasonable, Lu Mengxiong gritted his teeth.

Seeing that kneeling and bowing had no effect, dozens of soldiers in front stopped, under the guns of the guard squad, and then looked at Lu Mengxiong's murderous face, and when they were about to turn back, one or two voices behind shouted, "We don't belong to him, we want to see Commander Zhang." We want to see Commander Zhang. ”

As soon as this voice came out, there were many followers, and dozens of people began to shout, "We want to see Commander Zhang, we want to see Commander Zhang......"

It's really a fucking evil sect, I really want to make a fuss, Lu Mengxiong knows that the second division is basically three kinds of people, one is beard, these are still a man, the second is a crop man, this kind of person is the most, but in addition to these two kinds of people, there are some idle second-rate people, they joined the Kanto detachment just to make a living, all of them are lazy and slippery, usually there are beards on it, these people can't make any big waves in the team, and now the beards are all transferred to the fifth regiment, So the team is their business, they used to be lazy when they were digging fortifications, and now they want to run for their lives when the war starts.

There is no compromise on these people, Lu Mengxiong whispered a few words to Wang Shouyi, and then said loudly: "Okay, which one is not convinced, I want to see Commander Zhang, stand up and see how Lao Tzu cleans him up." I don't want to live. Stand up! If you have the ability, stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

At this time, the Japanese artillery had stopped, but the soldiers still shrank in place and did not want to go back to the trenches. The crowd grew bolder. After a while, after hesitating, more than 30 people came out and said that they wanted to see Commander Zhang, while the others wanted to come out but didn't want to come out. Lu Mengxiong waited for a while and asked again: "Do you still want to come up with it?!" ”

The rest of the people didn't dare to move when they saw Lu Mengxiong's murderous face, and more than a dozen of the people who came out ran back quickly, and the others had some hearts, looking like you don't dare to do anything with Lao Tzu, Lu Mengxiong saw this with a hideous smile on his face: "Count you as acquaintances." With that, he waved his hand again and shouted loudly. Machine gun fire! ”

The two Danish machine guns that had been transferred before suddenly roared angrily, and before the dozen or so people could react, they were swept to the ground by the dense rain of bullets, and in less than half a minute, ten people were braided. Seeing this, Lu Mengxiong still didn't understand his hatred, and asked the guard squad to deal with those who were not dead. Then he shouted to the rest of the people, "See." This is the example of deserters. Don't go back yet. ”

Everyone was already stunned by the previous machine-gun fire. Now that I saw Lu Mengxiong angry, he hurriedly ran back to the trench. Lu Mengxiong just smiled when he saw them behaving like this, and then said to Wang Shou, who had been silent standing beside him: "What, don't you like me?" ”

Wang Shouyi next to him was also shocked by Lu Mengxiong's iron blood, he thought that these people who stood up must have no good fruits to eat, but he didn't expect Lu Mengxiong to use a machine gun to surprise them on the spot. He was only a fourth-term student, and because his grades were very good, he was promoted to the deputy battalion of the first battalion, and he didn't catch up with several battles in the revival army before, just a rookie. Now I see Lu Mengxiong asking himself. Immediately stood up and said nervously: "No." The head of the regiment did the right thing. ”

Lu Mengxiong smiled when he saw that he was so nervous, gently patted the dust off his shoulder, and then said: "Mr. said that the reason why China is backward and bullied now is that there are too many foolish people and too many slaves. I'm just a lazy person, and I still have the heart to coax women, but I don't have the heart to coax them at all, so I have to scare them. You, senior brother to tell you a heartfelt word, there is only victory and defeat on the battlefield, soldiers only need victory, although defeat is still honorable, this kind of talk is made by scholars to deceive people, it is not okay not to be ruthless. Besides, we are not Russian Maozi, they can retreat even if they lose, and there is no way back for us to do the revolution. Okay, don't nag, the devil's cannon has stopped for so long, people should come up and go back to the position. Stay safe! ”

Lu Mengxiong's step-by-step teaching made Wang Shouyi's impression of him a lot better, and he didn't need to speak when he heard the words, but just saluted and went to the position. The leader of the guard squad here came to report, "Regiment commander, it's all dealt with, and they're all dead." ”

Lu Mengxiong nodded, "Hmm." Let people pull it away and bury it. Then he said to the adjutant beside him, "Then order the whole army to clear out the second-rate sons in the sixth, seventh, and eighth regiments, and organize them into a battalion, which is right under my nose, and I want to see how they will toss." Also, report this matter to the headquarters, write it in 1510, don't say good things, just do whatever it is, don't play false. ”

Ordinary generals will give money before the war, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but Lu Mengxiong did not have this meaning at all, in his opinion, the army must be strict, some time ago when digging fortifications, he asked people to touch the three regiments of the second division, I thought that I wanted to reorganize after the war, but now it seems that it is better to do my best, in case any of the troops secretly withdraw at night, the whole army will be blinded. In order to better control these three regiments, he is now splitting his regiment into three divisions, and one battalion leading one regiment to defend the position, and if there is really a problem, eight or nine hundred people will not be able to subdue three thousand people.

Perhaps it was Lu Mengxiong's cold-bloodedness that made all the troops from the 2nd Division desperate for survival, or perhaps the 2nd Division was too light on the enemy and Lu Mengxiong's troops were well prepared, the two Japanese attacks were repulsed, and they stopped fighting for a day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Mengxiong had just breathed a sigh of relief when someone from the headquarters came - when he saw the two wearing red armbands, his heart jumped suddenly, but he would come when he should come, and he thought of the present when he looked at the corpse lying on the ground by machine gun fire a few hours ago.

He straightened his collar and walked up to him. When the other party saw him step forward, he saluted and asked, "May I ask if it is Lieutenant Colonel Lu Mengxiong, the commander of the first regiment?" ”

The words were very polite, but there was no human touch in the mouths of these gendarmes, Lu Mengxiong smiled far-fetchedly: "It's me, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that he had found someone, the other party questioned the gendarme next to him and said. "I received an order from the Military Police Department, please ask Lieutenant Colonel Lu to come with us, the shooting of the deserter at noon needs to be investigated."

That's really the Hades debt repaid quickly. Lu Mengxiong thought in his heart, but he was not worried at all, the big deal was that he would be demoted, and the originally scheduled upgrade would be in vain. He said in a deep voice, "Okay. But I need five minutes to hand over the work. Please wait a minute. The two gendarmes nodded, and Lu Mengxiong turned around and walked away quickly.

The previous point to the headquarters was actually not far away, and Lu Mengxiong arrived soon, which was different from what he imagined. When he arrived at the headquarters, he didn't see Yang Rui, but was only interrogated by the gendarmerie for one night, and only let him go after saying it several times over and over again, and then let him stay alone in the room. By one o'clock in the middle of the night, the door opened. But it was Lei Yizhen who came in.

Seeing that it was not Yang Rui, Lu Mengxiong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down dejectedly. Then he said weakly: "Surprise me." It's you. ”

Lu Mengxiong knew about Lei Yizhen's affairs, and he also knew that he was now demoted to the headquarters as a staff officer, but his own affairs were different from his, no matter what Lei Yizhen said, it was just a mistake in decision-making, and he fought a war of will, but he killed someone. And dozens of them. Although he did not have any repentance on his face, he hoped that someone would agree with him, especially Yang Rui's approval.

Seeing Lu Mengxiong's decadent appearance, Lei Yizhen laughed. "Why, can't I come?"

Lu Mengxiong said, "Okay, you can come, you are all difficult brothers." Here, give a cigarette to smoke. ”

Lei Yizhen took out the matches and cigarettes from his pocket when he heard this, and after he smoked one, he gave them all to Lu Mengxiong, and after polishing the matches and lighting the cigarette, he also lit Lu Mengxiong, and in the smoke, Lei Yizhen asked: "Hehe, is the food in the gendarmerie department delicious?" ”

"You don't want to open which pot to mention, I'm also confused and didn't control my feelings for a while," Lu Mengxiong explained: "Who will not be wrong?" ”

Listening to Lu Mengxiong's defense, Lei Yizhen laughed, in his opinion, this old classmate is good at everything, but he has a hard mouth, especially love to explain, he didn't explain a word when he dealt with things before, and afterwards he also recalled the order at that time, in fact, he was wrong in the big picture, but in that environment at that time, when everyone's self-confidence was insufficient, it was understandable for him to do this. As long as the Renaissance Army can stand up, it will be worth punishing him.

"Mr. You're very upset to hear this," Lei Yizhen took a puff of cigarette and whispered, "He said that you can't hold up the wall with mud." Originally, he was going to come in person, but now that the Japanese are attacking at night, Mr. has gone to suppress the formation. ”

Mr. said that it didn't matter what he was, the key was that he would come back to see him, which was the most important thing for Lu Mengxiong. After listening to Lei Yizhen's words, he exhaled a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Hey, but that's how I am." Besides, those deserters are so annoying, they actually said what medicine to find Commander Zhang in front of me, and in the end, I gave them a chance, and asked them before shooting......"

Before Lu Mengxiong's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Lei Yizhen, "You don't know Mr.'s style of doing things, you don't follow the procedure for shooting these people without approval." I know that you have a big temperament and are very unsophisticated, but now this is the army, and the army not only talks about discipline, but also about procedures, and Mr. used to say that no matter what we do in the country we build, there must be an open procedure, and the rule of law rather than the rule of man should be ......"

"Damn, there is no way to talk about any procedures in the revolutionary era, we are now a revolution, and we have to break the previous rules, and Mr. also said that if you don't break it, you won't stand, and the purpose of breaking the old world is to create a new world. Our gang of people are all against the law, they are all rebellious to the court, there is no need to abide by any rules, especially in the army, if you don't be ruthless to those second-rate people, they will turn the sky upside down. ”

Lei Yizhen couldn't say anything about Lu Mengxiong in pure debate, so soon the interrogation room was quiet, only the squeak of burning cigarettes, and soon after a cigarette was smoked, Lei Yizhen got up, "I'm going back, now there are a lot of things about the Japanese attack, what else do you want me to bring to Mr.?" ”

Thinking that people came to see him but was beaten by himself, Lu Mengxiong felt a little apologetic, "Brother, I ...... it"

Seeing Lu Mengxiong's appearance, Lei Yizhen comprehended and said with a smile: "It's all my own people." Nothing to be polite. If you have anything to say, say it quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will leave. ”

Seeing that the elegant Lei Yizhen was also vulgar, Lu Mengxiong's heart warmed, and he said, "You are still a brother enough." You just tell my husband that as long as you can let me go to the battlefield, I can punish me as much as I want, even if it's just a squad leader. ”

Lei Yizhen said with a smile, "Cut, you are still a squad leader, you are a squad leader, isn't that Mr. a company commander at most." All right. I'm going, don't think about it yourself. The person you killed this time was from the second division, and although the division commander was a rice bucket, he was still more righteous, and one of the dead seemed to be his fellow countrymen, no matter what. You have to give someone an explanation. ”

Lu Mengxiong only thought that those people were second-rate people who didn't do their jobs, but who knew that he had a relationship with Zhang Zongchang. He touched his head for a moment. said, "Hey, this thing...... It's all my fault! ”

Lu Mengxiong has always been a troublemaker, Yang Rui has long seen this, he doesn't care about Zhang Zongchang's attitude, those who dare to retreat without permission on the battlefield are killed, which is not allowed. His headache was procedural issues. He was the mentor of these students, and he managed them not to practice the checks and balances of the previous emperors, but to limit everyone, including himself, to a single rule. This rule is a regulation in the army and a law in the country. But now, because of the particularity of the revolution, many people don't have such thoughts, the big army is fine, the guerrillas are completely uncontrollable, which is also the reason why Yang Rui did not appoint Lu Mengxiong as the head of the guerrillas in western Liaoning after Qi Qingyuan was injured.

"Didn't he organize those dishonest people into a battalion, since he wants to fight, then let him lead this battalion." After listening to Lei Yizhen's relay, Yang Rui said.

"Sir," Lei Yizhen said, his punishment seems too heavy only for absolutely so, especially Lu Mengxiong is about to be promoted to colonel, but now he is demoted to battalion commander, as more and more military cadets graduate, these people in the first phase feel a lot of pressure, after all, as the revival army continues to expand, the first person will naturally have more advantages.

"There is always a penalty for mistakes. Let him go. This guy is a dead man who doesn't admit his mistakes, and verbal education is useless. Yang Rui said that he has always had a good impression of Lu Mengxiong, but he hates him for getting into trouble from time to time.

Seeing that Yang Rui said very resolutely, Lei Yizhen did not persuade again, and after he left, Yang Rui called Xu Liezu over again, "Arrange Xiao Ye to be Lu Mengxiong's guard, he has killed a lot of people, it is estimated that some people will retaliate if they don't give up, let Xiao Ye pay more attention." ”

Xiao Ye is Li Cunyi's apprentice Ye Yunbiao, who was previously assigned to Yang Rui as a guard, but now he was transferred to Lu Mengxiong by Yang Rui. Xu Liezu also heard it outside the door just now, seeing Yang Rui say this, he didn't speak, but was stunned for a while, Yang Rui saw that he didn't leave and said: "It's safe here, let Xiao Ye come back when Lu Mengxiong stays smooth." ”

Lu Mengxiong was released early the next morning, and he already knew the punishment, he had no complaints about it but was still excited, Yang Rui looked at him with a wry smile, his original intention was to let him go to that special second-rate camp, and find a way to get along with those of them, although the army is masculine, but it can't be completely managed by rigid methods, and the army will collapse sooner or later under such control, but Lu Mengxiong doesn't understand his hard work at all, Yang Rui has to get tired of ninjas, Let Xu Liezu call Lu Mengxiong in.

Lu Mengxiong, who was about to return to the battlefield after getting out of the cage, looked happy, but as soon as he heard that it was Yang Rui's call, the joy on his face immediately disappeared, looking at Lu Mengxiong's face through the window and immediately pretending to be very strict, Yang Rui couldn't help laughing in his heart, this little red guy, it is estimated that he will pretend to be stupid again.

Lu Mengxiong was at the door, shouted a report and came in. Yang Rui looked at his bloodstained and dusty coat and didn't speak for a long time, Lu Mengxiong didn't know what Yang Rui was going to say, so he could only stand still, and his legs trembled a little after a while. Fortunately, Yang Rui spoke at this time, "Do you know why you were asked to go to the newly formed battalion?" ”

Although Lu Mengxiong was very arrogant, he was definitely not stupid, as soon as he was notified to release it, he was very happy in his heart, and he didn't think much about it at all, but now when he was asked like this, he knew that it was Yang Rui's special arrangement to arrange himself to the new camp, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. wants me to go to the new camp to get along with those second-rate people." ”

"You're smart, but why weren't you smart back then?" Yang Rui was a little happy and a little annoyed when he heard that he could comprehend his painstaking efforts, yesterday he knew the consequences of doing this, but why did he do that?

"Student......" Lu Mengxiong suddenly froze, "Student... Yesterday I watched the enemy attack in a big way, and the sappers poured water on the trenches to reinforce the fortifications regardless of casualties, and their gang was frightened by a few shells, and they were desperate to retreat, and they should retreat, after all, they had not been trained in shelling, but what was especially hateful was that they were still ......."

"What's especially hateful is that they still use the relationship of Division Commander Zhang to encourage the soldiers to make trouble, right?" Yang Rui interrupted him, "Zhengrui, have you ever thought about why the British signed a treaty with the Manchus after winning the Opium War?" ”

Seeing that Yang Rui suddenly moved the topic to the Opium War, he didn't know what Mr. meant, and he couldn't speak, Lu Mengxiong was a simple person, smart but without heart, and the officer had never known about major matters, he shook his head stupidly and said: "The student doesn't know, please ask Mr. to solve his doubts."
