"I know everyone here has some misunderstandings with us. We are all soldiers, comrades! Those rumors were spread by people with ulterior motives to increase our internal conflicts!
The Hong Party is wicked! They disregard the risks of fighting on the front lines and disrupt morale in the rear. How despicable! This expedition is forced upon us. Our comrades on the other side are facing a difficult situation, and we urgently need you to step up!
I am offering water instead of wine to celebrate everyone's successful journey in advance and wish you all a successful start! Cheers!
At the front of the team stood a fat man holding a clay bowl. He drank it all in one gulp and then threw it hard to the ground.
With tears in my eyes, I bid farewell to the team of about a hundred people and watched them set off in tattered clothes.
"Uncle, that bastard just now was the quartermaster? Is the pre-war mobilization so perfunctory?"
Jiang Cha thought that it would take some effort to get into the team on the day of departure, but it turned out to be so easy that it was a little unbelievable.
Whose team only gathered enough people five minutes before departure?
Even with the addition of ginger tea, we can barely make up the team of a hundred people.
During the five minutes of the gathering, not a single word was mentioned about equipping everyone.
Even the pre-war mobilization was hypocritical, and they were still comrades-in-arms?
Those of them who were about to set off had not even had a decent breakfast, while the quartermaster on the opposite side was eating a lot and was getting fat.
"Damn it! I think the ceramic bowl is in great condition. It's such a shame to have it broken like this! My two eldest sons bought it for me! What a waste of money!"
Regardless of whether the people in the team had been mentally prepared or had anticipated the outcome of this trip, everyone was silent.
Suddenly, a voice muttered, disliking the quartermaster for being a spendthrift and reluctant to throw away the broken ceramic bowl.
This guy is indeed a talent!
If he is not a frugal man who is very calculating, then he is a little bit stupid!
Jiang Cha was placed at the end of the line, with Ke Zi next to her, because they were about the same size.
The remaining doctors, including Leopard, were all tall and strong, and lined up at the front of the team.
As the team marched, the person in front took big steps and walked imposingly on the stone road leading out of the town.
The two people at the end of the team were jogging with their bags on their backs, looking like deserters.
The start is so embarrassing, this trip doesn’t look very auspicious!
Jiang Cha carried his bag on his back and chased the team in front, cursing the quartermaster in his heart.
How can you march like this?
It's not like I'm setting up a fruit stall, so I put the big ones in the front to make them look good!
If she continues at this pace, she will probably be exhausted to death before she reaches the other side!
Don’t think her description is an exaggeration. Soldiers of this era relied on iron feet to march and fight.
Not to mention walking a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, you still have to walk dozens of kilometers a day.
With her small body, it would have been difficult for her to even reach the river, let alone dozens of kilometers.
After all the planning, who knew that the first step would be the most difficult?
No matter what she did in the past, at least she had a means of transportation, even if it was a small donkey?
Ke Zi followed the team for a while and finally found that the girl next to him was gone.
I quickly turned around to look for someone. Fortunately, she was not too weak and was not too far behind.
"I was just wondering why you ignored me, and now you're gone! You said we still have several days to go before we reach the front line, so how can we fight the Japanese like this?"
Ke Zi felt worried when he looked at Jiang Cha. What should he do next?
Because the cannon fodder this time were all from the town, some people had seen her.
When someone recognized her during the morning gathering, they were stunned for a moment but didn't say anything.
He turned around and realized that two people were missing, and then he started shouting!
"Wait a minute, those in front! It's embarrassing! Those behind are embarrassing!"
The team, which was already disorganized on the road, dispersed in an instant.
Those in front are curious and look back to study how the people behind are embarrassing themselves!
The people at the back are almost pissed off. What do they mean by "the people at the back are embarrassed"?
How come they are embarrassed?
"Whoever said that? Stand up! Why is it embarrassing to be the one behind? If you don't explain clearly, I'll give you a beating!"
"Come and smoke if you dare! The person behind you was the one who got lost! That girl was the one who got lost!"
Jiang Cha, who was rushing over with his things on his back, just heard this.
I was complaining in my heart, but I had to apologize to everyone with a smile.
"I'm sorry, everyone! I'm holding you back! You all blame me for going to buy breakfast just now. I'm so sorry!"
"Tsk! What do you think we're going to do? Eat breakfast? Why don't you take a nap?"
The man who found out she was missing was disgusted and bought breakfast during a forced march?
This was absolutely unheard of, even though there was no officer accompanying them in their team.
However, when they reach the riverside, there will be people waiting there to count them and watch them cross the river.
I heard that it was because someone was called out at the base and ran away while crossing the river.
Later, whenever cannon fodder went to the other side, the officers would count them by the river, and then hold their guns until everyone reached the other side before evacuating.
"Brothers, she's gone to buy breakfast for all of us! Eat your fill first, only when you're full will you have the strength to fight the Japanese! Hurry up and catch those freshly-cooked buns!"
Kezi took the small backpack filled with buns and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Except for the people in the courtyard who had something to eat in the morning, the rest of the people didn't eat anything last night, let alone breakfast.
Who can resist seeing these steaming hot meat buns, the size of a fist, with oil oozing out of your mouth once you take a bite?
