Chapter 974 The Missing Wang Xiaodan

Shang Zhen only discovered that Wang Xiaodan was missing in the middle of the night.

The reason why Wang Xiaodan was found missing was of course that Shang Zhen and the others were at least safe for the time being. They didn't know how many rivers and puddles they had passed through, but they had walked from their original position in the middle of the night.

When Shang Zhen ordered a break and started counting people, he discovered that one person was missing. Wang Xiaodan was missing!

Shang Zhen and all of them are soldiers, although the soldiers call him "sir".

Since we are all soldiers, then we all go out to fight as soldiers, instead of dragging our families to talk about "home" and "mouth". Everyone can only be responsible for their own lives.

If it sounds good, it means retreating in the dark, but if it sounds bad, it means fleeing in the dark.

Everyone is retreating under the command of the commander Shang Zhen. So if you didn't follow the team because you had diarrhea or a sprained ankle for some reason, then where can others find you? The commander is using you as a soldier or a pawn, but you are missing. Who can do anything?

So when it was confirmed that Wang Xiaodan had not followed, Shang Zhen fell silent.

Although Wang Xiaodan had various shortcomings, Shang Zhen didn't take it seriously.

No one is perfect. Which of the soldiers he led from the original group to the current group is not like this? Shang Zhen understands that he is a good soldier if he dares to go to the battlefield with a gun to fight the Japanese.

And now that Wang Xiaodan is missing, Shang Zhen also knows that he must not be anxious with other soldiers, let alone train other soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Wang Xiaodan is an ordinary soldier. Others can sacrifice for the country, but you, Wang Xiaodan, can't sacrifice yourself?

What's more, Shang Zhen knew that veterans like Hao Xiazizi Company regarded Wang Xiaodan as one of his Shang Zhen's men.

In this series of battles, Hao Xiazizi's company also suffered heavy casualties. So many people were killed. They were still following you, Shang Zhen, to fight the Japanese, and they didn't say anything. Could it be that you, Shang Zhen, were "disgraced" because of Wang Xiaodan? "Just get angry with others and show off your face? There is no such reason in the world.

So, what can Shang Zhen say if he doesn't remain silent?

He knew very well that even if some soldiers said that Wang Xiaodan thought it was too hard to fight the Japanese and became a deserter, he would never say anything, because without any evidence, anything is possible!

However, Shang Zhen also thought about it. When they retreated at night yesterday, the Japanese army suddenly changed the direction of shooting. He wondered if it was Wang Xiaodan's fault.

But his idea was like a soldier suspecting that Wang Xiaodan was a deserter. There was no evidence at all. So how could Shang Zhen say such a thing?

On the contrary, when the old man knew that he had lost Wang Xiaodan, he said that he would go back and look for him.

Big Old Stupid naturally doesn't think like other veterans. In his opinion, he, Qingfeng Li and Wang Xiaodan were the first to follow Shang Zhen, so they are in the same group.

The big old fool has never looked down on Wang Xiaodan. As for Wang Xiaodan's shortcomings, it doesn't matter to him. Even if he blocked Wang Xiaodan's gun when he was fighting the Japanese, it doesn't matter. We, the old fool, are just such a person. Honest people!

It's just that it's not the big old fool's turn to make the decision on this kind of thing. When he said that I would go back and look for him, he was stopped by Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li didn't say anything else, he just said, where are you going to find me in this dark day? Do you think you are a night owl?

The old man thought about it and realized that he really had nowhere to look, so he had no choice but to give up.

Are there really people in this world who have died but are remembered forever by others? There should be.

But for most ordinary people, there are no scars that time cannot erase.

You see, some men or women cry and cry for a while after losing one of them.

It's hard to say whether it's a short period of time, or a longer period, that is, three or two years. Those who are alive have to continue to live, otherwise the father will find a stepmother for the child, or the so-called "father dies and mother marries" "What's the explanation?

This is about men and women, and the same is true in terms of family relationships.

Of course the grandson knows his father's name, but a small number of the grandsons may not know the name of their grandfather, and more than 90% of the grandsons do not know the name of their great-grandfather.

Of course, except for those whose families have family trees and ancestral halls with memorial tablets.

What's more, there are so many people missing during the war. Apart from my own mother, I will miss our third or fourth son. How can we not trust him anymore after fighting the little devil?

My mother is worried about it because her son is the flesh that fell from my mother's body. But who will complain about you after your mother dies?

So, for someone like Wang Xiaodan, who has no name at all and is the only one in the family, and whose relatives within three servers have no contact with him at all, you think a person like him would be on a march in the dark. If he is lost like that, who will remember him when he arrives?

Perhaps only the book of life and death of the King of Hell will have such a record: Wang Xiao (Wang Xiaodan’s real name, I guess no one’s nickname can be recorded in the book of life and death) was born on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a certain moment, and his parents were born one after another when he was young. Therefore, on a certain day and month of a certain year, I participated in a certain anti-Japanese war, and died on a certain day and month of a certain year because of ()!

Anyway, no living person knows whether punctuation marks are used in the book of life and death in the Palace of Hell, and the reason why this bracket is used here is just because there needs to be a space in that bracket.

No living person can be added to the list. Only the scribes or judges in the Palace of Hell know why Wang Xiaodan died.

Such as drowning, such as accidentally slipping down the mountain and hitting his head on a rock when retreating with Shang Zhen, such as falling behind and being caught by the Japanese puppets and skinning people alive to demand a confession without being mutilated to death.

Of course, if Wang Xiaodan became a deserter and happened to run to a wealthy family, and the wealthy daughter of that family threw a hydrangea and fell in love with him, he successfully married into his wife, and later both his children died happily, that would be another version. .

But it is estimated that this possibility is unlikely, unless the scribe of the Palace of Hell has a great imagination and can write time-travel novels.

Well, in short, Wang Xiaodan's disappearance became a common event in this large-scale war that spanned fourteen years and spanned more than half of China.

People who know him no longer miss him, then he will disappear like passers-by A and B in the world, just like a bird flying by in the sky. After disappearing from sight, there will be no trace in the sky.

Of course, if he doesn't show up again in the future.

Since He Gui had told them when they set out that their place was probably more than 20 miles away from the main Liujia Lake position, Shang Zhen took a rest on a hill with grass and trees while leading the team until midnight.

Shang Zhen didn't want to make such a mistake again, escaping in the dark and finding a place to sleep when he thought he had escaped far enough. But when he woke up, either the enemy's bayonets were in front of him, or he and others were sleeping in the middle of the battlefield. !

He estimated that he and his group had only traveled more than ten miles, but when they arrived here they did not hear the sound of gunfire, so he told everyone to rest.

The reason why they were walking slowly was because there was too much water in this area, and they couldn't move faster even if they wanted to.

So when it dawned, other soldiers were still sleeping, but Shang Zhen was already observing the surrounding situation.
