The War of Resistance

Chapter 842 The shortcomings of the old-style army (2)

There is a saying in the Northeast called "Two are good plus one is good", which means that both parties treat each other in good faith and move in the same direction. Wouldn't those two people be as good as one person?

Although Shang Zhen and the Northeast soldiers and the Northwest soldiers looked a bit fierce, what they did was for show.

They did not capture the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs of the people in Dawang Village. They did not force their way into people's houses and occupy them as their residences. They slept outdoors in Dawang Village in the winter.

So the old man in charge of the village finally showed up. I guess they didn't dare to have too much trouble with Shang Zhen and the other big soldiers.

In this way, when it got dark, Shang Zhen and the others finally moved into the wing of the old man's house. Although no one would have so many spare beds for dozens of people to sleep, Shang Zhen and the others also Just laying straw on the ground finally avoided the cold wind and cold weather when sleeping outdoors.

But even so, after the old man left the house, Shang Zhen still carefully arranged the sentry duty for people like himself. He specified how many people should be placed in which direction and what time the guard should be changed.

The battle seemed to be about soldiers charging forward without hesitation under the cover of artillery fire. Both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy casualties. In the end, there was a remnant soldier resting in the trench under the bloody sunset, surrounded by his fallen comrades.

This situation cannot be said to be wrong, but in fact, in later generations, war is also called a systematic project, which requires organization in all aspects. Otherwise, how could a vast country have so many military works for five thousand years?

The organization after the battlefield is trivial. This situation is like a man and a woman falling in love and having sex overnight, but so what if they have sex for a few nights?

If a man can live to be fifty years old, and if the happy time is added up to one year, then the man will probably have to fold his pants belt, and in the end he will still have to live a life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. This is the true meaning of life.

It was getting dark, and the soldiers who were not on guard duty had naturally laid down. Some of them had fallen asleep and snored lightly, while others still refused to sleep.

"I'm talking about rice shovel, you boasted that you Guangxi people are so big, but your performance is not that good this time!" It was Ma Erhuzi who spoke in a low voice.

"What do you mean by boasting about being so big?" Fan Tuantuan, who was originally a member of the Gui Army, was not happy when he heard what Ma Erhuzi said.

"Hehe." Ma Erhuzi smiled maliciously, "You are short, and you blew your Gui army so loudly. That's not just a small person blowing up to a big one. That's how braggarts brag."

Fan Zuantuan was a soldier from Guangxi, He Xiangcai was a soldier from Hubei, and Qiao Xiong, who was the best at using grenades, was a soldier from Guizhou.

Although they also joined Shang Zhen's group, they usually talk very little and will never be talkative like the Northeast soldiers.

If Qiao Xiong hadn't been good at using grenades, the presence of the three southern soldiers among their group of Northeasterners would have been very low.

They usually talk little. Whatever interesting things the Northeasterners say is just a naive smile. They neither add icing on the cake nor add salt to the wound.

Therefore, Xiang Ma Er Hu Zi Qian Chuan'er and other Northeast veterans seldom make trouble with them. In the words of Mr. Wang, it is called "it is a crime to bully honest people"!

"What you said is so unpleasant!" Fan Tuantuan said dissatisfiedly and then fell silent.

But Ma Erhuzi had no intention of letting him go.

"Look, what did you say? You said that even though you Guangxi people are short, you are not bad at fighting. You also said that you are called Guangxi Coyote Soldiers.

Now I understand, you are wolves, but you and the common people are wolves, hehe. "What Ma Erhuzi said was to provoke a dispute.

If Fan Tuantuan had someone else's temperament, such as a Northeasterner, he would definitely refute him loudly, or even "pinch" him if not possible.

But Fan Tuantuan was Fan Tuantuan, so he let Ma Erhuzi talk, and finally replied: "There are good people and bad people in every army."

There is nothing wrong with what Fan Tuantuan said!

Although Ma Erhuzi stirred up trouble, he was not the kind of person to mess around. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Hu Zhuzi said: "Who said there are good and bad people in any army? There are no good people among the Japanese devils!"

Fan Tuandui's statement just now, "There are good and bad people in every army," was perfectly fine, but Hu Zhuzi's statement - well, there's nothing wrong with it either!

"Okay, the boss is going to check the post. Let's rest. We are not just here to talk nonsense. Go to sleep!" Qiu Bo intervened.

So the soldiers stopped talking. Even if they were not sleepy, they could only hold their words in their stomachs. After all, they were the army and not the students in the dormitory.

There is naturally a reason why the above scene occurred. Before the Huaihe River Blockade, it was the Gui army, that is, the Guangxi soldiers, who were stationed here.

As Fan Tutuan said, there are good people and bad people in every army. Although the Gui Army had strict military discipline and had army chiefs who restrained their subordinates from disturbing the people, there were also those who had poor military discipline and harmed the people. This was the case with the Gui army in Dawang Village.

According to the old man, those little soldiers were very bad. They robbed the people's things and beat and cursed them if they didn't give them to them. Naturally, the villagers complained endlessly.

When the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the north bank of the Huaihe River, the Gui army withdrew, leaving behind the 51st Army of the Northeast Army, which was solely guarding the Huaihe River defense line.

Again, as far as the current national army is concerned, whether it is the central army or the local army, they are both good and weak, and they are all following a purely military line of resistance.

All military supplies need to be distributed from above. If the superiors do not distribute them, those with poor military discipline will loot them. Just like after the Sichuan army came out of Sichuan, no one dared to ask for it due to poor military discipline. In the end, it was only in the defense of Tengxian County in the Xuzhou Battle. He fought bloody battles and became famous.

There is an old saying in China that "flaws do not cover up strengths", but in the same way Yu also has flaws. It is wrong to deny the merits of the anti-Japanese war because of bad military discipline, but it is equally wrong to deny bad military discipline because of the merits of the anti-Japanese war!

The superiors regard the troops below as their own private armed forces. Although the officers and soldiers also have ideas, they are just slogans. Patriotism is also patriotism. However, the ideal in life is sometimes just promotion and wealth. An army without faith cannot understand the relationship between the army and the common people. relationship, sometimes it is inevitable to lose the support of the people.

If an army passes through an orchard with ripe fruits and refuses to pick any ripe apples that fall on it, then it is only the people's army, or the "people's army."

War is a continuation of politics, and an army without political ideas is destined to go short.

The soldiers in the room soon fell asleep, and at this time, in the narrow alley of the village, there was a dim light swaying in the alley. That was Shang Zhen who was checking the sentry, and behind him was Money strings and small stone bowls.

"I didn't expect that the old man who scolded Er Huzi for being blind was the head of this village." Qian Chuan'er whispered, with a smile in his voice.

"If you scold him, scold him, don't break it to him." Shang Zhen told Qian Chuan'er, but then he couldn't help but sigh: "We Northeasterners are always shouting at each other, which gives a bad impression to the people."

Previously, Shang Zhen thought that the people in this village did not want to see them because there were traitors here, but he did not expect that his group actually took advantage of the Gui army that was stationed here.

It seems that in the future, we really have to let people like us speak less and curse others. Our own people don't think anything of it, but it does offend the common people.

Shang Zhen thought so in his heart, but he didn't know that within a few days he would have to use violence against the people.
