Tang Cheng originally thought that Stationmaster Mao said that he was going to lead the troops to fight was just a joke, but he didn't expect that after a week, Stationmaster Mao suddenly wanted to invite himself to drink, looking at the stationmaster Mao in front of him with a solemn look in military uniform, Tang Cheng knew that he had guessed wrong, this thing was really going to the battlefield. "Brother Tang, I know you have always looked down on me like this." After the two of them sat down, Stationmaster Mao's first words made Tang Cheng jump in shock.

"You sit down first and listen to what I have to say." Seemingly satisfied with Tang Cheng's reaction, Stationmaster Mao laughed. "I know that you have the ability, and I can see that you people are fighting tough battles, but those who have some skills always look down on those who are worse than them, and the guy like me who hides in the rear and eats and waits for death is not the kind of person you look down on." Tang Cheng was completely dumbfounded, what is wrong with the surname Mao today, as soon as he came up, he reduced himself to a category of people who eat and wait for death.

grabbed the wine glass on the table and signaled to Tang Cheng, and before Tang Cheng could reach out and grab the wine glass, Stationmaster Mao's first glass of wine was already in his stomach. Xu is noticed that Tang Cheng's expression was a little strange when he looked at him, and Stationmaster Mao, who was pouring wine into the cup, said with a smile, "I'm not sick or stupid, you don't have to look at me like this, I just want to go to the front line to fight devils, as long as I can go to the front line to fight devils, it doesn't hurt to reduce my life span by ten years, compared to those brothers who died on the front line, I can already be considered lucky." ”

Stationmaster Mao, who has always been breezy and bright, still has such a side, which Tang Cheng never expected, he doesn't think that this is the result of Stationmaster Mao's own perception, this thing will make such a decision, it must be the result of some stimulus. "Do you know that the 58th Army won a battle on the front line, a big victory." After a few glasses of wine, Stationmaster Mao's face had turned red, and he began to be indistinct when he spoke, and Tang Cheng had to struggle to hear what he was saying.

"After winning the battle, we can give an explanation to the above, at least the Ministry of Military Affairs will not get stuck in our necks when we allocate supplies to the 58th Army. But you know what? Do you know? Stationmaster Mao suddenly stood up, his eyes wide and he shouted, "But do you know how many brothers we have died? The robe that was still drinking together not long ago is gone, gone. I heard that in some regiments, less than a company of brothers survived, and in some battalions, only a dozen brothers survived, and I am afraid that even a platoon would not have enough manpower. ”

Tang Cheng had already been confused by the news brought by Stationmaster Mao, and the hoarse Stationmaster Mao had tears and snot on his face at this time, holding the wine jug on the table and crying. Tang Cheng They settled down in the 58th Army's shelter until now, but they only heard that the 58th Army went to Fengxin on the day they just woke up, and then they didn't pay attention to the news about the 58th Army, and suddenly heard from Stationmaster Mao that the 58th Army had won a big victory, Tang Cheng was originally very happy, but after listening to Stationmaster Mao's words, Tang Cheng was completely stunned.

A regiment of more than 1,000 people will be beaten with less than one company left, it can be imagined that the battle situation at that time was tragic, whether it was in Nanjing or Mengcheng, Tang Cheng had experienced the loss of robes, especially Liu Goat also died in Mengcheng, so Tang Cheng could understand the mood of Stationmaster Mao at the moment. "Although I Mao Zicheng is not a good person for the country and the people, I also know the truth that the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed, and if we don't drive out the little devils, we Chinese will never want to live a comfortable life."

Half a bottle of wine was in his stomach, and Stationmaster Mao, who had always spoken without leaking, was already full of wine, but fortunately this was in Stationmaster Mao's office, Tang Cheng was not afraid that anyone would hear the conversation between the two of them. "I think it's better for you to leave your soldiers under the command of others, the battlefield is not what you imagined, there will always be deaths in battle, and the danger of the battlefield is not something you can imagine. Since I left Shanghai, I have seen too many casualties, and I have experienced all of what you just said, and there are even worse than you said. ”

Tang Cheng really wanted to persuade Stationmaster Mao not to be brave for a while, but Stationmaster Mao, who was already drunk, thought that Tang Cheng still looked down on him. "I know, I know that you still look down on me, and always think that I am a bastard waiting to die. I don't believe it, I'm going to go to the front line, fight a few victories for you people to see, I Mao Zicheng can also lead troops to fight, I, Mao Zicheng, am not afraid of death. ”

Stationmaster Mao, who was drunk, turned over and over those few words, and Tang Cheng couldn't help frowning again and again, it is not a good thing to go to the battlefield in such a state, once there is a mistake, it is likely to cause the entire company to fall into a crisis. But no matter how Tang Cheng persuaded him, Stationmaster Mao bit those few words and didn't let go, and kept clamoring to prove himself to Tang Cheng. "Stationmaster Mao, whether you are afraid of death or not is not just a mouth, I have seen a lot of loud voices, but later, when the overwhelming cannonballs smashed over, those guys all became grass chickens."

"But I'm different" Mao Zicheng, who suddenly erupted, waved his hand and swept the wine jugs and dishes on the table to the ground, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Cheng's collar tightly, and said word by word, "Chongyang Battle, my two elder brothers died there, three days ago, the youngest brother of our four brothers also died in Fengxin, our Mao family has no seeds, my three brothers have all died on the battlefield, so I go to the front line and prepare to leave my life there." ”

It feels very bad to be grabbed by the collar, if it was in normal times, Tang Cheng might have turned his face and pulled out a gun to face each other, but in the face of Mao Zicheng, whose eyes were red, Tang Cheng couldn't make such a move. Unexpectedly, this product is still full of loyalty, three of the four brothers have died, no wonder Tang Cheng has always felt that Mao Zicheng is a little weird as a major acting as the stationmaster of the shelter station, it turns out that the 58th Army is taking care of Mao Zicheng in the face of his two brothers who have sacrificed their lives for the country.

"You have to think about it, the danger on the battlefield is beyond your imagination, and your soldiers may still listen to you, but if you can't bring them victory, if you can't survive the battlefield with them, these guys may shoot you in the back. If you can't do these two, I advise you to dispel the idea of going to the battlefield as soon as possible, and if you go, it will only cost you your life, and it will also harm the lives of those soldiers under you. ”

Seeing that Stationmaster Mao didn't seem to understand his words, Tang Cheng immediately slowed down his voice and said slowly, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, the orders given by your commander one moment may not be applicable in the next moment, at this time, what you need to do is to take the people around you to try to survive, only by saving your life, can you better kill the little devil." If you blindly cater to the intentions of the commander, you are bound to use the lives of your soldiers to pave the way and pave a green road that belongs to you, but I don't know if you can do it. ”

This time, Mao Zicheng was dumbfounded, he never knew that there was so much attention on the battlefield, and he hadn't even heard of what Tang Cheng said just now. "I didn't sue you and I for the 88th Division, did I? The 88th Division can be regarded as the descendant of the national army, but what about the descendant, when we were in Nanjing, we were not used as cannon fodder by the teaching regiment. After a few battles, only three of us survived in the second company, and although we also killed a lot of little devils, no one remembered us. So, you have to remember that from the moment you go to the battlefield, you can't think of yourself as a living person. ”

"If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must first think of yourself as a dead man, and only then will you have the courage to fight to the death with the little devils. The Japanese army is also very popular, they are not three-headed and six-armed, and if they are hit by a bullet, they will hurt and die, and they will scream and panic. Since I can't persuade you, then I can only bless you, have more eyes on the battlefield, don't let others use you as cannon fodder, that will end very miserably, really. Mao Zicheng had made up his mind, and Tang Cheng had no intention of continuing to chat, so he immediately said goodbye and left, walked out of the distance and looked back, Mao Zicheng's office was still lit by lights.

Mao Zicheng left, taking with him more than 100 defeated soldiers who had recovered their ability to move, and when they left, they were silent, except for the two sentinels at the shelter, no one knew that Mao Zicheng and they left in the middle of the night. There were more than 100 people in the shelter station all of a sudden, and the shelter station, which had been noisy all day long, immediately quieted down, and Tang Cheng, who was lying in the courtyard every day basking in the sun, was nothing, but Liu Shi and the others felt a little restless, and always asked when Tang Cheng would leave here.

"I'm afraid it will take two months before your injuries are considered to be good, and now it's like this, not to mention taking a big car, even a truck, if the wound splits, it will be very troublesome." Mu Lianshan would check Tang Cheng's pulse every few days and check the condition of the wound by the way, and with his diagnosis, Liu Shishi and the others stopped pestering Tang Cheng to ask when to leave. Tang Cheng thought that this shelter would be closed soon, but he didn't expect that on the third day of Mao Zicheng's departure, wounded soldiers of the 58th Army were successively transported to the shelter from the front line.

"Company Commander Tang, let's meet again." Tang Cheng, who was squinting in the sun, looked at Huang Chengzhong who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise, didn't this go to be a company commander a long time ago? And the troops of the 58th Army should be on the front line of Fengxin, but why did this guy come to Liuyang? Xu was aware of Tang Cheng's doubts, and Huang Chengzhong replied with a smile, "I'm not a deserter, I'm an injured person who has been withdrawn from the rear to recuperate." ”

Tang Cheng noticed that something was wrong with Huang Chengzhong's body, the sleeve of the right arm of this thing was actually empty, "I'm okay, but I am missing an arm, but none of the brothers who followed me survived, the fight in front was too bad, and there were many deaths." Huang Chengzhong shook his empty sleeves very indifferently, "It's not bad, Lao Tzu exchanged one arm for the position of the head of this shelter station, do you think I made a lot of money." ”
