Chapter 77
"Platform leader, this is a brother of the New 19th Army!" After hearing Wang Si's words, the veteran immediately squatted beside a sacrificed warrior, carefully checked the other party's badge and armband, and then said to Wang Si.
When the warrior was dying, he grabbed the Japanese's neck with both hands, without any intention of letting go. The veteran took the elders' effort to separate them.
It was obvious that this was a Japanese devil who was just eighteen years old. He had no gun on his body and threw a big knife next to him. He seemed to be lost when fighting with the Japanese devils.
Hearing this and seeing all of this in front of him, Wang Si raised his right hand and saluted all the brothers on the ground who sacrificed their lives to fight the Japanese. Although his military salute was not a standard, it represented his sincere respect for these heroes.
All the soldiers also stopped and saluted the Chinese soldiers who died with Wang Si. These are heroes and martyrs worthy of their respect.
"We continue to walk forward, maybe we can find the direction of our New 19th Army retreating!" Wang Si knew very well that the battle here was over, and it was very likely that the 19th Army had retreated, so it was meaningless to stay here.
Moreover, this place has become an enemy-occupied area, and the Japanese troops will come over. If they do not leave in time, they may be a disaster waiting for them.
"Yes!" Hearing Wang Si's words, the veteran and the big man did not dare to stop, and immediately called on the brothers behind him to continue walking forward and leave here as quickly as possible.
They all knew that the Japanese would come soon, and if they didn't leave, they would be at risk of being surrounded. They all felt that Wang Si's concerns were correct, so naturally no one would violate this order.
Besides, although Wang Si was called their platoon leader as a new recruit, after several previous battles, they also saw Wang Si's command ability. Except for the stubborn donkey of the veteran, the other soldiers were convinced.
The team continued to walk forward without stopping, but what they saw along the way were things left behind by the New Nineteenth Army's hurried retreat, leggings, kettles, magazine belts, and even many abandoned guns and ammunition.
All these things were shocking. Wang Si saw the soldiers of the 19th Army who died before, and thought the 19th Army was good, but he didn't expect that the 19th Army was the only unit fighting against the Japanese was considered a hero, and the rest were all such things in front of him.
"What kind of troops does the New 19th Army have?" Wang Si was filled with confusion and confusion when he saw everything in front of him, but more of it was the anger and injustice that could not be vented in his chest.
He felt worthless for the brothers of the New Nineteenth Army who died in the desperate battle with the Japanese. What they covered was these incompetent things.
When everyone heard Wang Si's questioning tone, no one could say anything. They didn't understand the team, but judging from the situation in front of them, they looked down on this team and felt embarrassed.
At this moment, the veteran found that there was movement in the forest and immediately rushed over with his brothers with guns and encircled left and right at the fastest speed.
A few minutes later, the veteran escorted three ** soldiers with a disgraceful face to Wang Si. Then Wang Si reported: "Platform leader, they are defeated soldiers of the New 19th Army!"
These three people, one of the middle-aged elderly men, had a beard on his face, his cheeks were wax-brown, and his eyes were wide open, but he looked at Wang Si with disdain.
He was wearing a tattered military uniform and had no weapons, but he had a very conspicuous dry tobacco pole on his waist, and two boxes of brown and yellow cigarette pallets were hung under the throat.
"Are you from the 19th Army?" Wang Si looked at the guy carefully and asked. The veteran in front of him who had no idea where the gun had been thrown really made him blush.
This guy had no way to compare with the little warrior who died when he just turned 18 years old. He really didn't know where this guy's arrogance came from, and he dared to look at him with such a look.
"So what if you are from the New Nineteenth Army? You are the only little lieutenant, why should you capture me!" The middle-aged man stared at Wang Si, his eyes stayed on the rank of the second lieutenant in the middle of the leader of Wang Si's neck, and shouted at Wang Si.
This guy has the rank of lieutenant around his neck, and his rank is higher than that of Wang Si. Why is he willing to be arrested and questioned by a lower-level officer like Wang Si?
"Where did your gun go?" Wang Si really wanted to slap this guy immediately and teach this guy a lesson about this guy who was crazy in front of his own people, and that the Japanese devils were so cowardly that they didn't even know how to sleep.
But considering that he was so good at getting angry without permission, he endured as much as possible and questioned the other party.
"I don't need to tell you this!" The other party still looked arrogant and took Wang Sifang in his eyes.
"It's really damn it!" When the veteran saw that the old boy dared not to buy their accounts, he immediately pushed the old boy out of his way, turned around and asked Wang Si for advice, "Platform Commander, why are we talking nonsense with a deserter? Why not just pull him out and shoot him!"
"That's right! Even Qiang ran away, and he was still like this in front of us. If we don't kill a warning, his mother deserters will bully us in the future!" The big man couldn't tolerate it anymore. At this time, he immediately catered to the veteran's words.
All the soldiers also picked up the guns in their hands and loaded the bullets, waiting to shoot the arrogant guy.
"You are the deserters!" When I heard that someone was a deserter, the middle-aged man seemed to have been stimulated, he immediately shouted in front of the veterans and the others, and I defended myself.
"It's not a deserter, where did your gun go?" Wang Si continued to question when he saw the other party so excited. Now he had to figure out where the other party's gun went to explain the problem.
"It's not that we lost the gun, but that the superiors did not fire us!" The middle-aged man said aggrievedly. He felt that they could not blame them at all.
"What's going on? Explain it clearly!" Wang Si really couldn't figure out whether this guy was deliberately making excuses to shirk or that there was something else as the other party said.
"We are new to join the army, just to fight the Japanese to avenge their country and family grudges. But since we entered the army, we have only trained blindly, but we have never let us touch the gun. We have not given us any weapons when we went to the battlefield!" The middle-aged man said this and felt endless grievances in his heart, which made him still difficult to calm down.
