Chapter 52: Epiphany
Niu Jinshui hugged the beauty, and he was still happy, and when he was leaving the village with his soldiers, he happened to bump into Zhao Baokun and the others. If it was a normal time, maybe Niu Jinshui would have asked his Imperial Association soldiers to come forward and interrogate, but now he just wanted to rush back to Huandiqiao Town and the beauty in his arms to take care of the three stunned country boys. Niu Jinshui just regarded Zhao Baokun and the three as villagers of Tangqiao Village, but Zhao Baokun, who suddenly collided with the Imperial Army, didn't think so, he only remembered that Tang Cheng said that he would strike first.
"Dice, throw grenades, let's retreat." Zhao Baokun pulled out a short gun from his back waist with his backhand, and there were a few shots, and the dice also took out a grenade from his arms and still had one in the past. Niu Jinshui would have thought that the three boys on the other side would suddenly hit with bullets and grenades, and the bullets from Zhao Baokun beat the two Imperial Association soldiers who were driving the car into blood gourds, and the grenade thrown by the dice made Niu Jinshui on the cart frightened.
The "boom" grenade exploded at the entrance of the village, and the fire suddenly appeared, and the rapidly rotating shrapnel scattered around the center of the explosion point, and several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army lay on the ground with a miserable howl. Zhao Baokun's original intention was to shoot first to cause chaos on the other side, and then take the opportunity to escape after the grenade exploded in the dice, but the development of things seemed to be beyond his expectations, Zhao Baokun wanted to shoot two more shots and leave, but who would have thought that the bullet that he finally shot out of the chamber was so dead that it hit Niu Jinshui, the unlucky guy.
"Oh no, the platoon commander was killed, the platoon commander died." Niu Jinshui, who had blood arrows flying in his chest, fell on his back in the ox cart, and several imperial soldiers on the side of the cart shouted in horror. The reason why they became the Imperial Association Army and treated the Japanese as dog legs was nothing more than to eat a full meal, only the two uncles and nephews of the Niu family were the hardcore dog legs of the Japanese, and seeing Niu Jin fall down from the bullet in the water, these Imperial Association soldiers immediately blew up their nests, and a few guys knelt on the ground and raised their rifles.
"Baokun, is this a surrender to us?" The second grenade in the dice's hand was stunned before he could throw it, and more than a dozen Imperial Allied soldiers knelt on the ground with their rifles held high, and shouted surrender in their mouths, what is the situation? Zhao Baokun was also a little confused, if it weren't for Niu Jinshui's soft military hat on his head, and the woman who was crying and crying in the car, Zhao Baokun would not have shot first, how could he have thought that these guys would kneel and surrender.
Holding the grenade dice crossed their legs and stood majestically on the cart, Lin Jiadong and Zhao Baokun were busy collecting the weapons and ammunition of these imperial armies into a pile, and when they arrived in Tangqiao Village in the follow-up Tangcheng, they saw more than 20 imperial armies with fearful faces squatting in a pile, and Zhao Baokun and the three of them sat on the cart munching fragrant chicken. "Company commander, these guys are from the Imperial Association Army who came out of Huandiqiao Town to collect grain, and a few were killed by me and the dice, and these guys surrendered." Zhao Baokun, whose entire chin was covered with oil, ran to ask Tang Cheng for credit, but was glared at by Tang Cheng fiercely.
"Why don't you send someone back when you exchange fire with the enemy? If these Imperial Allied troops had not surrendered, and if there were still Japanese troops around, wouldn't all of us be in danger? Zhao Baokun did not win Tang Cheng's appreciation, but instead attracted a reprimand, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Seeing that Zhao Baokun's face was ugly, Tang Cheng's anger was even stronger, and he said sharply at the moment, "What's the matter?" I can't say anything about you, but do you think you're doing the right thing? It's just that after killing a few Imperial Allies, you feel that you can't live a lifetime, and you have killed more Japanese soldiers than you, have you seen the stone look at people with your nose when you speak? ”
Zhao Baokun was the person picked out by Lao Northeast, and Zhao Baokun, who was reprimanded by Tang Cheng, looked up at Lao Northeast, thinking that Lao Northeast would help him speak. "The deflated calf still dares to stare at the company commander, I think you kid is a poor thing." Old Northeast is different from Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng just said, but Old Northeast went directly to his feet, and before Zhao Baokun could speak, the belt in Lao Northeast's hand had already slapped Zhao Baokun's head and face.
Many veterans in the national army love to bully new recruits, even the 88th Division of the national army is not lacking in such a phenomenon, since Liu Goat took charge of the second company, the second company has never been full, and when Tang Cheng commanded the second company, the old soldiers bullied the recruits never happened. Seeing Lao Dongbei whipping Zhao Baokun with a belt, Tang Cheng said that he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he also knew that Lao Dongbei was helping him to establish his authority, so Tang Cheng just looked at it coldly, but did not say anything to stop it.
"You're just a fucking deserter, and you've become a fucking bandit, if it weren't for our company commander looking at you kid and giving you a chance, you damn calf would have been dug a pit by Lao Tzu and buried in Zouma Mountain." Lao Dongbei scolded while smoking, Zhao Baokun had been whipped by Lao Dongbei's head and face with blood, and a few of them were also bandits, and they didn't dare to speak even more tremblingly. A few of them avoided the dice, but Lao Dongbei didn't let them go, "It's the same for a few of you, in the future, before you go against the company commander Yang Fengyin, weigh whether the food thing on your neck is reliable." ”
After slapping Zhao Baokun more than a dozen times in one breath, Lao Dongbei stopped at this time, watching Zhao Baokun being whipped by Lao Dongbei's head and face full of blood, in fact, all of them were traumatic. "Do you remember what Lao Tzu just said? Do you know what to do in the future? Lao Dongbei squatted in front of Zhao Baokun and asked sentence after sentence, he asked, Zhao Baokun, who was already paralyzed on the ground, nodded once, and there was no longer the arrogance in his eyes when he talked to Tang Cheng just now.
Zhao Baokun confessed, Lao Dongbei did not get up immediately, but coughed lightly, Tang Cheng knew that it was time for him to speak. "Okay, forget it after a few lessons, Zhao Baokun is not an ignorant person, as long as he can memorize this lesson, your hard work will not be in vain." Tang Cheng's words made Lao Dongbei roll his eyes in his heart, and when he said such a soft word, his strength just now was in vain, and he became a real bad guy with himself.
"I know that you are not convinced, why do you want to listen to my command if you are not convinced." Ignoring Lao Dongbei's angry gaze, Tang Cheng called the dice and a few of them together, "Not for anything else, just because I am an officer and you are a soldier, I have been fighting with Japanese soldiers in Shanghai since last year, and later fought with the Japanese army in Nanjing, Mengcheng and Macheng, and I can be the commander of this company to command the second company, which I exchanged for the life of the devil soldiers, so whether you obey or not, you must listen to my command, unless the devil soldiers you kill can surpass me." ”
I had already learned from Liu Shishi's mouth that this little company commander had fought a big battle, and before it was confirmed from Tang Cheng's mouth, Zhao Baokun and the dice thought it was just Liu Shishi's nonsense, but now it seems that people disdain to talk about it to themselves. "In Zouma Mountain, I asked you if you were willing to be a soldier and fight devils, do you remember what you said. Since we are already soldiers, we have to order and prohibit them from following my orders, and everyone has an idea, which will only make us die faster, everyone is dead, and what are you talking about fighting devils. ”
"Zhao Baokun and Dice forced down dozens of Imperial Cooperative Army, which is a good thing, it can be regarded as a big victory, and they can be promoted to a military rank according to their military exploits. But they shouldn't fail to report back to the rear team in time, if there are Japanese troops in or around the village, how long can we stop them? It is not terrible to encounter the Japanese army, as long as there are corresponding countermeasures, it is not impossible to deal with them, but this response must be based on the premise of grasping the enemy's situation, otherwise it will be a bad battle and a dead battle. ”
After seeing the ferocity of the old Northeast, and being reprimanded by Tang Cheng, Zhao Baokun and the dice were a lot more honest, especially Zhao Baokun was obedient to Tang Cheng. In addition to asking those soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Tang Cheng was also thinking about whether his previous attitude towards dice was wrong, whether it worked with reason or like Lao Northeast, Tang Cheng's mind was confused, he really couldn't imagine what it was like to whip people with a belt.
"I think you're just stupid to read your heads, their heads are all illiterate, do you reason with them? Talking to rough people only works with fists, as long as you are better than them, they will listen to you, no matter how much you talk about the truth, it is not as good as Lao Tzu's belt. For Tang Cheng's confusion, Lao Northeast's answer made Tang Cheng cry and laugh, he couldn't say that Lao Northeast's rhetoric was wrong, but he couldn't agree with Lao Northeast's approach, just using a belt would never let Zhao Baokun and a few of them die for two.
"I guess you don't understand this, you just need to worry about the war in the future, and I'll hand over those scumbags to me, I don't believe that they are all iron-headed." The old Northeast who was biting a cigarette in his mouth was very disapproving, when he was in the Northeast Army, which recruit had not been beaten by a veteran, but he was also a second lieutenant officer, and teaching a few recruits was not as simple as eating.
Tang Cheng secretly pondered these words of the old northeast, and then looked at Zhao Baokun's current actions, Tang Cheng had some epiphany in his heart. There is no contradiction between knowing the reason and adding fists and feet, Zhao Baokun, a guy like them who has not read a book, can't understand his own reasoning, and what can make them remember military discipline is a lesson that they will never forget. Although it is not a good thing to beat Zhao Baokun in public like Lao Northeast, the dice and a few of them have firmly remembered the military order, even if Zhao Baokun is still resentful in his heart, but it is still worth it to exchange Zhao Baokun alone for the sharp change of the dice.
