Chapter 196 Serve the country with loyalty
Phoenix Mountain is the only way for the guerrillas to retreat to Mengshan. On the sunny hillside, four new graves are filled with guerrillas. One seriously injured soldier lost too much blood and died on the way back.
After leaving the danger zone, Chen Feng ordered the team to rest. Liu Caiyun and the Yang sisters were undergoing intensive surgery. If the surgery was not performed in time, the remaining seriously injured would be in great danger.
"Raise your gun!"
All the rifles were raised and the soldiers looked solemn.
"Fire a gun."
boom! boom! boom!
The gunshot startled a flock of birds in the forest, and they flew away chirping.
After bidding farewell to their comrades, the soldiers had a simple breakfast and continued to march westward on guard. By the time Liu Caiyun had finished three operations, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. They were still some distance away from Mengshan, so they bought an ox cart from a farmer, harnessed their own war horses, carried the three seriously injured soldiers onto the cart, and the team continued on its journey.
The three seriously injured soldiers were no longer in danger of their lives, and the raid had achieved fruitful results, but the losses of the troops still made Chen Feng a little depressed. The mood of the army chief could completely affect the mood of the troops. The way back was very long, so long that the depressing atmosphere made people feel uneasy.
Several platoon leaders who suffered losses were a little worried. Although there were no mistakes in their command, they were exposed too early. There were too many uncertainties with real guns and live ammunition. They had to use snipers and grenade launchers to suppress the fire, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater.
They knew the captain. Every time there were casualties in the combat team, there would be a period of strict training. They also knew that the captain loved his soldiers like his own sons. They were touched but also became increasingly dissatisfied with themselves. If all the soldiers were trained like themselves, the battle against several strongholds would be very easy.
Liu Caiyun couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere anymore. While the team was taking a short break, she found an excuse to report the condition of the wounded and pulled Chen Feng into the grove.
"What's wrong? Aren't the injured now out of danger?"
"Captain, I'm not talking about the wounded."
Seeing Chen Feng's surprised face, Liu Caiyun poured out all her opinions:
"Captain, look at the team now. Does it look like we have won a battle? Does it look like we have wiped out hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops? Does it look like we have successfully cut off the Jinpu Artery and returned victoriously?"
The more Liu Caiyun spoke, the more excited she became:
"Captain, since the commando team was established, you have been protecting us like babies in swaddling clothes, fearing that we might suffer any losses. Now that the guerrilla team has been established, your thinking has not changed."
"Every time a soldier was injured or sacrificed, you wouldn't smile for a long time. Even the platoon leader felt very guilty and always felt that he had let down your expectations."
Seeing that Chen Feng seemed to be moved, Liu Caiyun lowered her voice:
"Xiaofeng, this won't do. We are soldiers, fighting to save the nation from extinction. No one is afraid of death. How can there be no sacrifice in a war? Cheer up, and don't let everyone continue to suffer with you. Even if our commandos die in battle one day, you don't need to be overly sad. Die for the nation and die without regrets"!
"Do you understand what I am saying?"
Liu Caiyun turned and left, leaving Chen Feng in deep thought. Yes! It was clearly a great victory. Not to mention the Japanese and puppet troops that were eliminated, the impact of cutting off the Jinpu Line on the Battle of Wuhan alone was worth thousands of troops going forward one after another.
The team, however, was lifeless, all because of his own mood. As a time traveler, he was still a bit of a perfectionist, always thinking about controlling casualties and killing more enemy soldiers, which was simply impossible. Liu Caiyun was right, soldiers would suffer casualties, and commandos might also be sacrificed in future battles. There were some things he didn't want to face, but he knew they were unavoidable.
I must change my mindset. As a commander, I should not think about how to avoid casualties, but how to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties. In this respect, I am far behind Wang Mingzhang and others.
Liu Caiyun had been staring at Chen Feng in the woods. When she saw Chen Feng walking out with a determined look on his face, she looked away, and a huge stone in her heart fell.
"Brothers"!
In addition to the guards, more than 300 soldiers looked at the captain.
"Brothers, early this morning, after a long raid, our Yimeng guerrillas eliminated more than 20 Japanese strongholds on the Jinpu Line and blew up the Jinpu Line. It will take at least ten days for the Japanese to recover."
Chen Feng paused and then said:
"Maybe many soldiers don't know the importance of the Jinpu Line. Let me explain to you here. The Jinpu Line is the lifeline for the Japanese army to launch the Battle of Wuhan. Many of the urgently needed supplies for the Japanese army in the Battle of Wuhan need to be transported from Northeast China and North China. Once the Jinpu Line is cut off, the Japanese army can only use merchant ships and warships to transport them. This will have a great impact on their autumn offensive in Wuhan. Do you think our efforts are worth it?"
"worth"!
Ningbo, from the fifth war zone, shouted:
"Captain, it's totally worth it, even if our troops are wiped out."
Chen Feng looked at the hundreds of pairs of burning eyes and suddenly felt that they did not need comfort or proof. They were all heroes fighting for the nation and there was no need to mobilize or boost morale. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to continue nagging, Chen Feng suddenly felt heroic:
"Brothers, I am too lazy to say any more nonsense. I will teach you a song, Serving the Country with Loyalty. I composed it myself. From now on, this song should be regarded as the military song of our Yimeng guerrillas. Do you want to learn it?"
Hundreds of people felt relieved when they saw the captain shouting, and instantly became excited when they heard the captain was going to teach them a song. It was rare to see such a thing! The captain could sing, and it seemed that he was singing by himself. They were full of expectations. The shouts of hundreds of people shook the sky, attracting the attention of the soldiers on guard in the distance:
"think"!
"Okay! I'll sing it first, listen carefully:
The smoke of war rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Twenty years, who can resist?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
I can't help but sigh and feel sad, I'm speechless, my eyes are filled with blood and tears
Horses are heading south, people are looking north
People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying
I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders
Great China wants all sides to come and congratulate
The smoke of war rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Twenty years, who can resist?
Hateful and mad, the long sword points to
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
I can't help but sigh and feel sad, I'm speechless, my eyes are filled with blood and tears
Horses are heading south, people are looking north
People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying
I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders
The great China needs congratulations from all sides!"
Chen Feng's voice was not very good, he could only barely keep in tune. After singing a song, a group of people who had been planning to watch the captain's excitement could not help but stand up after hearing such shocking lyrics and a voice that made their blood boil. A feeling of grandeur suddenly arose in their hearts, and their eyes could not help but become moist. Several seriously injured soldiers could not help but want to straighten up. At this moment, everyone seemed to see the demeanor of their ancestors who fought against foreign enemies with iron horses.
“Do you want to learn?”
Hundreds of people said in unison:
"think"!
OK! Follow me and learn sentence by sentence:
"The wolf smoke rises, and the country looks to the north"!
"The wolf smoke rises, and the country looks to the north"!
The soldiers on guard in the distance did not forget their responsibilities. While on alert, they also sang along with the singing.
"Gather the team and set off!"
On the dozens of kilometers from Wulong Lake to Mengshan, except for rest and lunch, the Mengshan guerrillas' war songs never stopped and the team was in high spirits.
