"Commander Long, please tell me, how many enemy troops are there below your position!?"
Shuo Yu looked at the bright silver helmet buckle beside their leader's ear and listened to what he said. Now he finally understood what Yu Xiaoqing was here for.
As always, Shuo Yu felt that he really hated this guy, but at the same time he did not speak. After all, Yu Xiaoqing was asking about their leader. He lowered his head in silence to hide the indignation that might appear on his face at this time. He just felt that this idiot was here to nitpick.
Then he listened to their regimental commander talking about why he deliberately let those dozen Japanese soldiers go, when they could have been wiped out completely.
Although, even though they don't have as many Japanese dumplings as Henglanshan, they are still not bad.
"The division commander should know that, except for the hundred or so soldiers in our regiment who can fight, if I ask them to fire a shot towards the other side, the rest will be scared to death and pee their pants at the sound of the gunshot."
"I can guarantee that they would have peed their pants before the gunshots were fired." Yu Xiaoqing was not here to listen to any excuses. He had a stern face and an aloof attitude.
"Commander, those of me who are good at fighting are enough to take care of those people, but I'm thinking, if, if the people on the other side of the river continue to attack us like they did today, if I send them in, the whole regiment will be wiped out. I want to take this opportunity to let them take turns, so that they can at least learn not to wet their pants, right, Commander?"
Yu Xiaoqing looked at him, disbelief written in his eyes. He actually let the enemy break through their defenses just to train new recruits, and even, even entered the rear, threatening the people?!
“You! You! You!”
Yu Xiaoqing grabbed Long Wenjian by the collar, pointed his free hand at his head, and stared at him in an incomprehensible tone, saying,
"You mean... you want to take your time?"
"Yes, take your time."
Tang Ji interrupted their conversation because he knew that his nephew Yu was about to lose control. He pulled A Yi and the group of people behind him and a company of new recruits that Yu Xiaoqing had brought from somewhere to take a look at the Jiqipo position, leaving the place for them so as not to make things too big and make a fool of themselves.
Tang Ji had originally wanted to get Shuo Yu away, but Shuo Yu pretended not to see it. How could he leave in such a tense situation? He wouldn't leave no matter who left, not only to stay and watch the fun, but also to prevent Yu Xiaoqing from really killing their leader when he got too excited.
Now he was standing with Fan Lakao, helping him to straighten his helmet slightly. As soon as Tang Ji left, Yu Xiaoqing could no longer bear it. He grabbed Long Wenjian's collar with one hand and threw his back onto the trench behind him. He felt that the raincoat on his body was a bit too cumbersome, so he threw it onto Zhang Lixian behind him.
This time he grabbed Long Wenjian's collar with both hands. He didn't understand why he did this, thinking that he was dissatisfied with him, so he spoke.
"Do you have a problem with me? Do you feel like I owe you something?"
"What do you owe?"
I swear to God, Shuo Yu can guarantee that their regimental commander has never thought that way. "Division Commander, Division Commander~!" Their regimental commander is arguably the only one in the entire Sichuan Army who has relatively few opinions about you, or even no opinions at all. The two who have the biggest opinions about you are staring at you from behind!
"The Battle of Nantianmen has nothing to do with me. It's the higher-ups who want to promote Wang Mazi, so they're taking all the credit for Zhang San and Li Si's achievements and putting it on Wang Mazi alone. So, don't be resentful and keep causing trouble. This will only make the last bit of respect I have for you disappear."
When he said the last sentence, his voice was very soft, not like what a division commander would say to a regiment commander, but like what a younger brother would say to his older brother.
Shuo Yu thought randomly in his heart, their leader doesn't care about these things at all, really,
"I'm doing this for us!" Silasila suddenly stood up straight and answered seriously.
Yu Xiaoqing seemed not to have heard clearly, so he asked him to repeat it again, and this time he put his ear close to his mouth so that he could hear it more clearly.
No one spoke, so everyone in the trench, including Zhang Lixian and He Shuguang, heard it this time. It was very clear, it couldn't be clearer. Their commander said that he did this for us.
Which us?
Everyone on this side of the river can be called us!
Anyone who speaks Chinese and wears Chinese pants can be called us!
Anyone with yellow skin and black eyes born from this land can be called us!
A light drizzle suddenly fell on their Jiqipo position. Shuoyu's hair was hit by the dense raindrops. He opened his eyes and looked at Yu Xiaoqing and their regiment leader who were facing each other in the rain. The helmets of both of them were now wet.
The rain came suddenly, but it was not heavy. The sound of artillery fire on the other side of the river had long since stopped. Now it was very quiet here, with only the occasional sound of digging not far away, over and over again.
The face of their leader, soaked in the drizzle at this moment, was really not good-looking. It looked bitter and aggrieved. Sometimes he really wanted others to understand something, and hoped that the person in front of him could understand something, but even he himself did not understand what to understand.
Watching this scene, Shuo Yu always wanted to hold onto something. In this disturbing drizzle, in the end, he only held onto Meng Fanle's slightly trembling little black hands. The two people's hands clasped together were not out of place in this rain that made the air stagnant.
