Chapter 927 New News (2)

"What? Did the little Japs hit LY City?" Ma Erpao's loud voice rang out directly from the crowd warming up by the fire.

His voice was so high, and his simple words shocked the soldiers who were roasting their cotton-padded clothes so much that the hilarity and noise immediately stopped.

And in the silence, suddenly a soldier shouted "Oh!". Everyone heard the sound and looked around. It turned out that a soldier was looking at him and was shocked, but they forgot that he was still holding big pants in his hand. Roasting by the fire.

Just now due to shock, he subconsciously moved his hand, and his big pants were caught on fire.

In an emergency, it is not necessary to wear underpants, but it is better than nothing. The soldier was so anxious that he threw the big underpants to the ground and put out the fire on them with his feet.

As for the fact that his lower body was completely naked, no one paid attention to it anymore.

Compared to the news that the Japanese army had attacked LY City, other things were already trivial.

Although they were only a few dozen miles away from LY City, the speed of the Japanese attack exceeded everyone's expectations, especially those veterans.

When Shang Zhen caught up with the LY defense battle, the battle had been going on for a while.

If the Japanese army wanted to occupy LY, they had to occupy Tangtou Town first. As far as the veterans knew, it took the Japanese army three days to occupy Tangtou Town.

The battalion responsible for guarding Tangtou Town was disabled on the first day.

However, that night, the regiment sent another battalion to recapture Tangtou Town. During the next day, the Japanese army, which had the advantage of aircraft and artillery, captured Tangtou Town again.

But on the second night, the regiment took Tangtou Town back again by relying on night fighting and close combat.

The enemy and we fought like this for three days and three nights. In the end, the regiment guarding Tangtou Town was disabled and had no fighting capacity, and Tangtou Town was occupied by the Japanese army.

At the same time, as far as those veterans know, during this Japanese offensive, if the defensive troops of the Forty Army had not lost their combat effectiveness, they would not have taken the initiative to retreat. Of course, their company should be the only one to retreat. , and the reason for this can only be asked by two people, one dead and one alive.

The dead person is Hao Xiazi, and the living person is Shang Zhen.

When the soldiers thought about it, it had only been a few days. How could the Japanese army have reached LY City?

As a common man, Mu Gen couldn't tell the specific situation, but he became nervous when he saw nearly a hundred people staring at him.

"I heard that your people were killed in companies and rows while defending their positions. It seems that one battalion was completely wiped out and not a single person came down." Mugen said again.

Why did Mugen's words make the veterans and recruits feel like they had a fever on their faces?

It is said that it is better to live than to die, but it turns out that sometimes living becomes a shame, and dying is a kind of glory!

Some soldiers couldn't help but glance at the Northeastern guy who was also listening to Mugen.

Fortunately, Shang Zhen still had that calm expression, as if he hadn't instigated their company to withdraw from the position!

If the blind man was still alive, would he slap this die-hard Northeastern guy in the mouth and let him rush to the front as a death squad? At this time, a veteran thought.

"How was the defense of LY City when you came out?" But then Shang Zhen spoke.

"When I came out, the Japanese had not yet reached the city, but the national army told us people to leave as quickly as possible. My home is not in LY City, so why don't I run home?" Mugen said.

"Say it's useful." Lu Yifei reminded from the side.

"I don't know anything about your defense. It's just about repairing fortifications. But when I was out of the city, I saw an old man of yours. He had a high official position and was followed by many officers. He said he would fight the Japanese until the end." Na Mugen said again. said.

"What old man? How old are you?" Lu Yifei asked.

"If not sixty, it must be more than fifty." Mugen replied.

"What old man? That's our damn army commander! You see that our army commander is quite big, yet you still call him an old man?" Lu Yifei said angrily.

"Ah?" Mu Gen was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a moment. In his opinion, he was just an old man, and his clothes were not as dignified as other officers. It turned out that he was actually a military commander!

"What's the use of talking about it now? Let's see what we should do?" At this time, a veteran interrupted, and then turned his attention to Shang Zhen.

The Japanese army had already attacked LY City. It was obvious that the Japanese army attacked very quickly during the day when they were resting the wounded. Not to mention what happened to LY City, what should their company do? Should we return to aid LY City? Someone has to make the decision.

Who calls the shots? Since Shang Zhen has been chosen as the leader, of course Shang Zhen needs to make the decision.

Ma Chuncai and the others didn't listen to Shang Zhen at first and went ahead with some veterans. As a result, fourteen of the twenty-two people died, and only eight people came back, but they were saved by Shang Zhen and the others.

This is Shang Zhen’s contribution!

Now, the veteran looked at Shang Zhen, and the others naturally looked over.

Shang Zhen looked around, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he asked slowly: "What? Are they all looking at me? Are you waiting for me to make up my mind?"

Only those old people under Shang Zhen who are not around know that Shang Zhen is a man of few words.

But this time, by coincidence, Shang Zhen joined Hao Xiazi's company and became the acting company commander after Hao Xiazi was killed in battle. He was able to go from being a "strong man" to being recognized by the veterans. At first, no one knew that he was a veteran. At that time, he only relied on the Northeastern people's sloppy Northeastern dialect to make the veterans like him.

Of course, the so-called soil falling off is a self-deprecating expression of Northeastern people, but it has become a sense of humor among people from other provinces.

Because of this, Shang Zhen is now such a person in the eyes of veterans.

A veteran, he can fight, and his marksmanship is extremely accurate.

He is very talkative and always makes people laugh when he speaks. It is easy to be with him and he never acts cowardly.

But now after Shang Zhen said this, the veterans had a new understanding of Shang Zhen.

This time, some veterans had the urge to jump up and slap Shang Zhen in the mouth, because they just discovered that Shang Zhen, a Northeastern guy, actually still needs to be slapped!

Why the fuck are you looking at me? Are you waiting for me to make up my mind? You were chosen to be the acting company commander, aren't they just waiting for you to make up your mind?

"We must fight." Perhaps Shang Zhen also felt that he had said nonsense. He got to the point, and the soldiers could only continue to listen.

"The key is how to fight?" Shang Zhen glanced at the soldiers who were looking at him and said, "If more than 80 of us return to help LY City, what role can we play? Everyone is a death squad, maybe one charge That’s pretty much it.”

"Then let's just hang out outside? The guy who killed ten or eight Japanese soldiers said we're not idle either? What's this called? Wandering without attacking, yes, it's called wandering without attacking!" When Shang Zhen talked about this, Some veterans sneered.

There are always different soldiers in a team.

Although there are soldiers who are afraid of fighting and death, there are also soldiers who want to take the initiative to go to the battlefield.

The chief officer Shang Zhen was "elected by the people", which was the result of the minority obeying the majority. Although the minority did not explicitly oppose Shang Zhen being the acting company commander, at least they had reservations.

In other words, these veterans were angry with Shang Zhen.

If Hao Xiazi led the troops according to his style, how could they set up a fire in the field to dry their cotton clothes? Then they would live in the village no matter what.

When I don't resist Japan, you people have to respect me.

I am now resisting Japan, so you people are still not allowed to support us like masters?

Therefore, if this veteran brought out the concept of "traveling without attacking", it was just an excuse to use it.

Swimming without attacking? Shang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This was really the first time he heard this term, but how could he know that it was the product of a verbal dispute between the National Army and the Eighth Route Army?

However, the phrase "swim without attacking" was so tricky that Shang Zhen knew he had to say something.

"First of all, we are not hanging around in the periphery, killing a few lone Japs as a pretense that we are fighting.

Second, it is our ability to kill as many Japanese devils as we can and still survive.

Just because we are fighting the Japanese outside does not mean that we are more likely to survive than on the battlefield. It is just that we can independently choose the right time, the right terrain, and the right opportunity to fight the Japanese, instead of just standing on the battlefield and letting the Japanese devils attack us. Let's blow it to a pulp! So, are you willing to defend your position, or are you willing to take the initiative to attack the Japanese Japs and kill as many Japanese Japs as possible? "

After Shang Zhen said this, he rarely showed his sharp edge and stared at the veterans.
