The moist river breeze blows slowly up the slope along the river bank, always making people feel a little slippery and very uncomfortable. But after eating this bowl of rice, you have to hold on no matter how uncomfortable it is. It is better than starving to death in the countryside. Ruzo is not a southerner, but he is a veteran of the Sixth Army. From the beginning of the provocation with the Machihans, Ruzo has never missed a battle, but the god of fate seems to favor him, even though he has experienced many battles During the war, except for one or two stray arrows that stabbed him in insignificant parts, he did not disappear into a puff of black smoke and a pile of ashes like many other colleagues who had been together. This made Ruzo feel both relieved and scared. , I still have my mother-in-law and two children waiting to support myself in my hometown in Cangzhou. I heard that life in the north is very difficult, and several acres of Susukino farmland have long been pawned for food due to the bad years. Now I have to rely on my meager salary. I went back to help, and fortunately I managed to get the position of squad leader. I was more or less an officer, and I could barely make a living.
It was time to fight again. He couldn't help but sigh. Ruzo looked to the north. The low and gentle slopes looked a bit uneven. The densely packed shrubs and vines common in the southern mountains covered this area. The humid weather Let these plants grow wildly. Sometimes, the roads that were cleared only two days ago will be blocked after a night or two, which makes people helpless. There are so many mosquito flies that they almost chase the soldiers and bite them. Although there is anti-mosquito medicine, the flying and buzzing of these little things around you can still make you upset. The Third Division is stationed in the north, and the superiors have specifically warned not to mess with those guys casually. Anyway, the front line will be launched soon. Anyone who tries to entangle and provoke them will probably be left with nothing to eat. Fortunately, those guys seem to have received the notice and have been very quiet for so long. Ruzo doesn't want to get into trouble with the other party, and now he has the order to go up to the peak. , he was also happy to take some time off. Apart from placing a police sentry on the sentry tower as a precaution, Ruzo didn't want to bother any more. Just now I heard the sentry muttering. The sentries on the nearby sentry tower seemed to have gone off to rest. Who would cause trouble in the hinterland of these two divisions, unless they were from the third division, but now it seems that no one He had the guts to cause trouble before the war.
Ruzo was able to hear the implication of the sentry's words, and gave him a lesson with a straight face. At this time, he could not control other people. He could only restrain the soldiers of his own team and stand guard. As for what others did, he could not control them. Seeing the sentry pouting and complaining on duty one after another, Luzo also felt irritated. If he wanted to fight, he should fight early. I heard that the navy had just entered the designated location and needed to make adjustments. This battle mainly depends on them. I heard from above that the water force The military officers were coaxing and coaxing, as if God was first and they were second. This made the superiors gnash their teeth, and they had to take precedence in all supplies, which made the Sixth Army, which had always been considered the number one in the Southern Army, very dissatisfied.
He looked back again. Although the sentry on the sentry post looked very upright, his mind had already flown far away. Ruzo was sure that these recruits had been loving their homes all day long, just like the ones lying at home. My mother-in-law didn't wear any trousers or clothes, as if waiting for him to go back and ride. Luzo couldn't help but feel a little moved when he thought of this. He hadn't been home for two years, and he didn't know how his two children were doing. But soon Ruzo restrained his impulse, his eyes were focused, and he raised his voice and shouted : "Wu Dabao, look at your mother's appearance. I'm distracted again. If you let the enemy's scouts slip past you, I'm going to skin you!"
The sentry on the tower froze, as if flying back from his fugue, and immediately straightened his body, his eyes began to wander around, as if he was trying hard to search for something. At the same time, he answered with an open voice to the squad leader, who had strict requirements but was quite humane in his heart: "Captain, what is this place? The core defense area of our Sixth Army. Where are the enemies? These two people over there in the Third Division I don’t even dare to fart in the sky, and I can’t even see a human being, so don’t you feel at ease and allow me to be bitten by mosquitoes?”
"Little bastard, stop talking nonsense to me. There's going to be a war soon. It's inevitable that the enemy's scouts will sneak in to get a feel for the situation. If I really let the enemy's scouts sneak in, I'll tell you, it won't be as easy as you!" Ruzo choked and felt a little confused. He shouted in anger and anger.
"Captain, we will start heading east in two days. Even if the enemy touches our situation, it will be of no use. Are they asking us to retreat here and fight them? Aren't you trying to trick us by saying this?" The sentry obviously adapted to the life in the military camp quickly, and there was a smell of oil in his words.
"You little bastard, if you keep giving me glib words here, be careful I ask you to stand there until dawn tomorrow!" Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and Ruzo yelled. These guys were getting more and more presumptuous. It seemed that he was treating them too well. .
Seeing that the captain was finally really angry, the sentry standing on the sentry tower quickly shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything more. Although the captain did not say anything, it is better to avoid provoking him when he is angry. It will not be a pleasant place to stand from now until tomorrow morning. It would be much more comfortable to lie down on the marching gun and rest on the errand.
Taking two deep breaths angrily, Lu Zuo threw the whip in his hand angrily and looked around. Although the river wind blew from time to time, the power of the blazing sun hanging in the air did not decrease a bit. The shrubs and some small trees were wilted by the sun, and the heat was rising. The heat when standing on the grass was not something ordinary people could bear. The smell was stronger on the tower, and I could still stand in the shade of the trees. It was exposed to the sun up there, and although there was a grass roof to cover it, the heat was concentrated there. The robe was soaked with sweat and dried again, dried and soaked again. Only the sentry himself knew the smell.
Just when Ruzo looked around and saw nothing unusual and was about to return, a slight "Hey" from the sentry tower made Ruzo's attention return to the sentry tower subconsciously, "What's wrong? There's still more to come. put?"
"Uh, no, captain, it seems like there are people and horses passing by in front. Damn, the third division is still changing defenses. It's so fucking evil. Aren't these officials trying to make the soldiers peel off their skin?" The sentry on board clicked his tongue and said: "Hey, there are quite a few people. There is a regiment, right? Which of their regiments is it?"
"Change defense? Change defense at this time? Where is it?" Ruzo was a little strange. What defense was he changing at noon? It's like what the sentry said. Isn't this deliberately tormenting people? It's normal to lose a layer of skin after walking around here in such a poisonous sun.
"Well, it's about a mile and a half ahead. It seems that the defense has been changed. It's advancing to the west. I can't see clearly, but the number looks like it's the 5th Regiment of the 3rd Division." The sentry also narrowed his eyes. Eyes looked carefully.
Ruzo frowned. The officer in charge of the Third Division was also confused. He was about to move to the front line but what kind of defense would he need to change? The only thing he passed was the defense area jointly managed by his own division and the Third Division. It seemed a little bad if he didn't ask, but if he asked, the other party would give him a blank look. If he weakened the reputation of the second division and let the superiors know, he would inevitably suffer a meal, which made Ruzo hesitate.
"Captain, they are about to pass, should we ask?" The sentry seemed to feel the captain's hesitation under the tower and asked in a low voice.
"Well, has the Third Division notified us?" Ruzo actually knew that the sentries of the Third Division were definitely not at the sentry position at this moment, let alone notified us.
"Huh, captain, there's no one at the sentry post of the Third Division. They're all probably hiding in the shade to rest. How could they inform us?" the sentry snorted and replied angrily.
"In that case, I'll take someone over to have a look. I have to say hello and ask after all." After hesitating for a moment, Ruzo decided to reluctantly perform his duties. It was a bit uneasy not to ask, but according to the sentry Could it be that such a large-scale team was passing by the enemy? He was worried that if someone from above noticed that he was at the sentry post and didn't even bother to ask about it, and by the way, he would be unlucky.
When an officer who looked like a squad leader came quickly with two soldiers on the opposite side, almost everyone in the marching team was excited. From boarding the ship in Jiujiang to landing in front of the patrol boat while avoiding the patrol boat, everything went so smoothly, as if... God wants to help him, and the weather is so hot that it’s almost crazy. Although everyone is out of breath and can’t make the trip, it’s worthwhile to think that the enemy will relax their vigilance in this kind of weather. Unexpectedly When these guys came out, they didn't look suspicious, but they obviously wanted to come up for inspection and questioning.
Seeing that the other three were getting closer and closer, the two people behind them had quietly followed the sallow-faced man who had appeared in the commander's tent and asked softly: "Division commander, do you want to kill these three people?"
"No, don't act rashly. There is a police post over there. I didn't expect that someone would be able to hold on at the post at this moment. All our actions are under the surveillance of the other party. It seems that although the Sixth Army is taking a nap, it is still awake. Where are the people." The sallow-faced man smiled slightly, straightened his helmet, and continued to move forward, "Ignore him, wait until he comes over, we have to put the Third Division's airs in order."
Seeing that the other party ignored the command flag on his post, Luzo felt a headache. These guys from the Third Division were too arrogant. Although he was only a squad leader, after all, this position was at his guard post. It was a bit too presumptuous to walk over like this.
