What a beautiful white lotus

It took only one hour for the soldiers of the national army to complete a surprise attack and win the battle. They wiped out hundreds of Japanese soldiers stationed in Ruichang, blew up and burned their barracks, and seized a batch of weapons, ammunition and Food, killed a senior officer, but the own side had almost no losses, only single-digit casualties.

The news immediately reached the ears of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The cities captured by the Japanese army were often harassed by militia guerrillas, but it was the first time in several months that the garrison barracks were taken over by someone. The Japanese defenders were very angry and immediately dispatched troops to attack Ruichang.

The puppet soldiers didn't expect Gu Xiuge to do what he said, and he did a good job. They sent Ruichang's Japanese defenders in a blink of an eye, and finally let go of their mouths and cooperated with Gu Xiuge.

Zong Hao thought that this victorious member of the 98th Division was a powerful figure, but when he saw the team led by Gu Xiuge, he was completely disappointed - Gu Xiuge's team, where is a regiment, is full of plans In this way, half of them are wounded soldiers, those with a few pieces of gauze wrapped on their heads are not counted, and those who don’t have broken arms and missing legs are embarrassed to say that they are injured; these For all the old men of the national army, the military uniforms are tattered, and there are several company uniforms that have nothing to wear, and the clothes are not covering their bodies. The weapons in their hands are not American weapons, but Japanese weapons picked up from the battlefield. Firearms and patchwork of local guns and ammunition, this battle is really not much better than the red bandits, worse than their puppet army.

But Gu Xiuge has already won the battle. These puppet troops are an army composed of people who were organized by the Japanese to occupy the land. Now that the Japanese army in Ruichang has been beaten by Gu Xiuge, the new Japanese army will definitely not trust them anymore. Even if he didn't want to cooperate with Gu Xiuge, he still had to cooperate.

However, Gu Xiuge wanted to incorporate the puppet army, but the puppet army did not agree.

After all, Zonghao is a fine person. The people under him, who were said to be organized by the Japanese, were actually his cronies. It was because he had a lot of power in his hands that the Japanese army appointed him as the local security chief.He agreed to cooperate with Gu Xiuge, but he firmly disagreed with the merger of the two teams, fearing that Gu Xiuge would take the opportunity to recruit them and disarm them.He is a local tyrant who follows the Japanese, he is the leader of the puppet army, he can occupy mountains and become king if he does not follow the Japanese, but if he follows Gu Xiuge, he has nothing.

Gu Xiuge took Liu Wen and Heigou to negotiate with Zonghao. When he came back, he carried a few sacks of supplies, but none of them brought back.

A group of small soldiers gathered around the black dog to find out what happened. Ye Rongqiu asked the black dog: "How did the talk go?"

The black dog said: "That guy is a genius. They have touched our bottom. We still don't know how many people they have in their hands. It is said that there are five or six hundred people. I am afraid it will be more than that. The group will cry poorly with them." , They turned around and cried poor with our group. I listened to it for a few hours. The consumption of our last war. They would not pay for even one more grain of rice."

Ye Rongqiu asked: "Then what should we do?"

Black Dog said: "However, they agreed to cooperate with Tuan Zuo. Next time Tuan Zuo fights devils, they will fight us on two sides. We will attack and they will assist."

When Ye Rongqiu heard this, he had no choice but to say, "Just be willing to beat devils."

It's still not good to be willing to help fight devils.

Gu Xiuge's guts were like a ball pricked out of cowhide, and the more he blew it, the bigger it was. His next step was to rob the Japanese army and fight an ambush.Since the puppet army led by Zong Hao refused to be incorporated by him, they would split up and fight on two sides. The national army's main wing attacked, and the puppet army's flank covered to contain the Japanese army's actions.There were two to three hundred people in the national army, and they formed a group of defeated soldiers who were not afraid of death. Gu Xiuge even dared to call them "Blade Brigade" without shame.

Liu Wen asked Gu Xiuge: "Tuan Zuo, do you really dare to use those puppet troops?"

Gu Xiuge looked at him quite freshly: "They agreed to cooperate with us, why not?"

Liu Wen said, "What if they defected before the battle?"

Gu Xiuge said: "They have all given their lives to the Japanese, do you think they have the ability to turn against each other before the battle? Liu Wenna, those who dare to rebel are not ordinary people."

Liu Wen was speechless for a long time, and then said: "Tuan Zuo, your ambition is getting bigger and bigger."

Gu Xiuge counterattacked unceremoniously: "Your courage is getting smaller and smaller." He asked Liu Wen again, "You have been with me for so many years, what kind of person am I, you just know today?"

Liu Wen has indeed followed Gu Xiuge for many years, but Gu Xiuge was not so radical in the past.The long war, from the northeast to Wuhan, killed too many people and lost too many battles. Gu Xiuge is no longer the same Gu Xiuge he used to be.

Liu Wen wanted to say something else, but Gu Xiuge raised his hand to stop him, and only asked him one sentence: "Are you following me?"

Liu Wen stared at Gu Xiuge for a full minute, and then he only said one word: "Follow." No matter what Gu Xiuge turned into, he was still the man in his heart.As long as he's alive, that won't change.

That night, the black dog sneaked out of the camp with Ye Rongqiu and entered the forest. The black dog raped Ye Rongqiu hard.

They have been revealing their hearts to each other for a few months, but the war is getting harder and harder, and they are exhausted even from living every day. How can there be time to do more things?But that night, the black dog seemed to be crazy. Later, Ye Rongqiu cried under him, and he just watched and moved numbly.

After the matter was over, the black dog pulled Ye Rongqiu up from the ground, wrapped him in his arms, and carefully wiped away the tears on his face: "Gua Wazi, why are you crying? Did I hurt you?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "I miss my father, I miss my brother."

Ye Rongqiu was forced to join the army. From the beginning, he was thinking about how to get home every minute of every day and night. Later, he no longer had the extravagant hope that he could have a home.But tonight, he suddenly wanted to.

After serving in the army for several months, he has been completely reborn.He remembered how he had hated weak governments and armies that were always losing.The country lost its land, and the common people lost their peace, and it was all the fault of those who were unable to manage their affairs in their positions.But later, he found that he could not blame the soldiers or the officers, and he was at a loss as to who to blame.He had to find someone to blame. Everything he lost was caused by that person who should be condemned. He hated Japanese imperialism, but it was useless. The bloodthirsty Japanese warlords did not lack his hatred .His condemnation and hatred are just to find a hope for his own survival, and if he continues to hate, it seems that he has a chance to regain what he has lost.If there is no hatred, only helplessness is left, it would be too cruel.Because of helplessness, he will find that not only what has been lost cannot be returned, but he may also lose more.But he could only watch helplessly, helpless.

The black dog kissed the top of Ye Rongqiu's head: "After the war, you can go back to find them."

Ye Rongqiu didn't say anything, just grabbed the black dog's sleeve.This was his last straw.As he gradually loses his innocence, he learns not to fantasize about what he has lost.

With a snap, because Ye Rongqiu pulled too hard, the already torn military uniform of the black dog was completely torn apart, leaving only a piece of rag in Ye Rongqiu's hand.

The black dog looked down at his military uniform, said nothing, helped Ye Rongqiu up, patted his head lightly, and took his hand: "Let's go, we're going back."
