Chapter 147 The only way to fight is the madness of death(2/2)
"It's sir!"
Song Chengru, who acted as a "coolie", responded and put down the ammunition box first. He went to the bunker aside and filled up the tea for the two superior soldiers. Then he walked towards the defense line of his squad with the ammunition box and put the heavy ammunition box on the side.
Beside the trench, Stone, who was eating a can, looked at Song Chengru and said.
"Why so slow!"
"long……"
"Okay, it's none of your business, go see your brother!"
The three Song Chengru brothers, who live in Shandong, all served in the Third Division. And they were all in the same infantry company. This may be a characteristic of recruitment in this era. Most of the soldiers in a company or even a battalion came from the same place. Not only did they
There are brothers and uncles and nephews in the same village. The reason for this arrangement is because of the dialect characteristics of "different dialects for ten miles and different dialects for hundreds of miles". In order to avoid the inability or poor communication between soldiers due to dialects, on the battlefield
, poor communication may lead to the death of soldiers. In another sense, being from the same hometown and village will enable them to watch each other on the battlefield and never leave. However, no one knows that in the Army Department
According to some officers, what they want to see is that when some soldiers are killed in battle, others will be red-eyed because of that "nostalgia". The soldiers will be red-eyed, and the entire army will be like a demon.
When a battle comes, there is no need to lose one's life. Troops who do not care about one's life are the most difficult to deal with.
Compared with the rumbling sound of artillery outside the trenches, life in the trenches is actually more comfortable. Most of these soldiers are not as nervous as before the war. For many of them, since they come to eat this bowl of "decapitated rice", they have already had something to eat.
The awareness of mortality.
Fight a good fight like a man, and let the foreign devils stick their thumbs up when they see us Chinese! Perhaps, through the indoctrination of the superiors, they still have such a simple consciousness in their hearts, especially after passing and
After coming into contact with a group of expeditionary forces, they looked down on them at first. It was not until they fought a battle that the foreigners looked at them with admiration. For these soldiers who had felt fed up with the popularity of foreigners for many years,
, if you really want to fight, then fight with all your strength!
Perhaps, it was this awareness that caused them to not feel the tension before the war at all, but only the kind of relaxation that came from their bones.
"Lao San, why are you here!"
Looking at the third child from a distance, Song Chengjie greeted him with a naive smile, and Song Chengliang also followed. The three brothers were in the same company, but not in the same class, which made him, the boss, feel uncomfortable.
"Big brother, second brother!"
Seeing the eldest brother, the second brother Song Chengru suddenly turned into a kid who was only eighteen years old. The three brothers sat down towards the shooting stand and immediately started laughing.
"If the fourth child is here, the four of us brothers can be considered together!"
Fourth son, there are four sons in the Song family. If they don't have enough food and want to have enough to eat, who will eat this decapitated meal?
"A while ago, my father asked my husband to write a letter saying that the fourth child has gone to school. Maybe in two years, the fourth child will be able to write to us!"
The three brothers seemed to have endless things to talk about when it came to family matters, and they didn't know how long they chatted. Finally, Song Chengjie looked at the second and third children, lit a cigarette first, and then said.
"I heard from the commander that we estimate that this time, we will have to fight the Germans in a decent way..."
Song Chengjie, who had a decent fight and took a puff of cigarette, spoke again.
"When the time comes, three of our brothers may not be able to survive but two, that's enough. Don't think about living. I asked the veterans. Those who thought about living are all dead. Those who only want to die are still fine.
Those who are alive, this bullet, he also specializes in shooting those who want to be alive... When we went on the expedition, when the country guys from Shandong came to see us, they said, don't be afraid of death when we get here, let's not lose the face of Saint Kong.
, the officers said, don’t lose the face of the Chinese people, but have the ambition of the Chinese people..."
Although the words are a bit crude, the truth is this.
"Listen up, brothers. If we fight this time, don't think about anything else. If all three of our brothers die here, they will be the Three Loyalists mentioned in the play. The Yang family will be like this. By then,
But the matter of honoring the Song family, and besides, the pension of thousands of dollars for our third child, is dead..."
"Brother, I know this, so I should fulfill my filial piety to my parents!"
Nodding vigorously, Song Chengliang glanced at the mistress.
"Xiao San, if you are too timid, you will not be brave. When the time comes... I don't blame you, but you have to remember this... military law!"
Patting the mistress on the head, Song Chengliang had a bitter look on his face.
"Remember, don't be a coward! When it's time to fight, close your eyes and rush to his mother, life or death, it all depends on life! Death means loyalty and filial piety are both balanced!"
