Chapter 53 Punishment

We can tolerate the shouts, shouts, and scoldings of the people. What we can't stand the most is the look of the people looking at us, there is anger, disappointment, and indifference in it...

******************************************************************

Chapter 53 Disciplinary

We walked into Hejian City with the scolding of the people. Although I could scare away those ignorant students, I could not scare away the whole city, let alone explain it to them... This is the terrible public opinion. As long as the people are united in a united front, even if they are black, they will be said to be white, although they have no in-depth understanding of many inside stories.

We can tolerate the shouts, shouts, and scoldings of the people. What we can't stand the most is the look of the people looking at us, there is anger, disappointment, and indifference in it...

Only then did I deeply understand what a murderous vision is. If possible, I think the people hope to kill us with this look!

But what can we do? We can't do anything. We can only continue walking forward under the eyes of the people. But for some reason, our feet are as heavy as lead, and our chests are as if they are pressed by a big rock.

I finally arrived at the military camp. Since I came in by car, I was not with my own troops... After rushing to say goodbye to Xiaoting, I asked several soldiers and found the barracks in the second row. As soon as I walked in, I felt a pressing atmosphere.

"Plane leader!"

"Plane leader!"

...

When the soldiers saw me walking in, they became a little more energetic and stood up one after another.

"Plane leader!" The old squad leader greeted him and said, "Aren't you injured? Why don't you take a few more days off?"

"It's okay, it's just a little injury!" I raised my hand and replied.

Actually, I also wanted to pretend that the injured was resting for a few days, but seeing that the injured in that car had either broken hands or broken feet, and I had nothing but some scratches on my hands. Can you tell me that I can go to the injury ward with them?

"It's good if the platoon leader comes back!" Li Wenxi also said enthusiastically: "We have heard of the platoon leader fighting the Japanese. Now the platoon leader is all heroes in our army, and our platoon has also won glory! Now who doesn't know that our second company has a hero platoon leader!"

"Heroic Platoon Leader?"

"That's it!" The monkey slipped in through the gap and rushed to say, "It is said that our platoon leader ignored his own safety and took on the task of covering the retreat of the troops at a critical moment. Even the division seat praised you as the model of 38, so why would you say... If everyone is like platoon leader Fang, why would the Japanese not get rid of them?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little amused. I stayed to cover the troops just because I had no choice but to be regarded as a noble person now!

"That's it!" another soldier continued, "I want me to tell you! What's even more amazing is that our platoon leader has only five people but can block a large group of Japanese devils, and can escape unscathed... If you tell others, anyone would think we are bragging. But our platoon leader did it!"

"What can that happen?" Just as the soldiers were discussing enthusiastically, Chen Dali, who had been sitting aside and silently, spoke: "What can we do if we can fight? What can we do if we dare to fight with the little Japanese? The villagers still call us traitors and lackeys, and they still show our faces?"

Chen Dali's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on the soldiers. The atmosphere that had just become harmonious was immediately cooled down. The soldiers lowered their heads and sat back on their beds in a muffled voice.

I smiled and didn't say anything. I found an empty bed and put my rifle and backpack on it. Then I sat up and stopped moving again.

These days are either war or marching. The only thing that can be considered a rest is the few hours I fainted. Now I just feel that there is a huge happiness in a place where I can rest.

"It's so fucking to hold your breath!" After a long time, someone complained: "We beat you to death before. When we come back, we not only don't get any benefits, but we also have to be angry!"

The soldiers couldn't help but talk, so they started to pour out their saliva:

"That's it! Why do you think we have to work so hard? Use a hot face to stick to that cold butt!"

"Why are the villagers so unreasonable? Why do they say that the master is a traitor or a lackey?"

"I'm looking at it! Don't fight in the future, let's go back to hold your wife!"

...

I didn't say anything from beginning to end, just listened quietly to the warriors until the monkey said to me dissatisfiedly: "Platform leader, you talk! You have the most say. You have fought so many Japanese on the front line, and you will be scolded when you come back..."

"What can I say?" I smiled and said, "You are right! The villagers should not treat us like this!"

After I said this, the soldiers were stunned. According to their thoughts, I, the platoon leader, should have advised them not to join the army with these negative emotions. I didn't expect that I would vent my anger with the same nose as them...

"The living cannot be said to be dead, and the dead cannot be said to be alive!" I said to the soldiers: "What is the fact? We all know whether our teacher is a traitor. So it is obvious that this is the misunderstanding of the teacher and the misunderstanding of our 29th Army!"

"But!" I changed my subject and continued: "We must also understand why the villagers are so unreliable. Have they been on the front line? No! Many villagers have never even walked out of this city. Their news channels are entirely from the media. They think whatever the media says, and their hatred of Japanese traitors... So it is normal to have such a behavior today, right? But I believe that we always have one day when we are injustice, and there will always be times when the villagers understand it! Besides, the biggest grievances are our teachers? He can tolerate it. If you can't stand it if you suffer this little sting?"

As soon as I said this, the soldiers were speechless. Thinking about it, the villagers were not targeting us along the way, mainly because they knew that we were Zhang Zizhong's team and we were just fish that were affected.

"Let's be more careful!" The old squad leader sighed and advised: "Platform Commander Fang is right. The teacher must be unhappy now. If we are in the army, please stop causing trouble for him!"

At this moment, a sudden noise came from outside, and then someone outside shouted: "We don't care whether he is the Nanjing government or not. Where were they when we were fighting? Now we are holding a piece of paper and we are going to punish our teacher seat..."

"Not good! Brothers!" A soldier ran in panic and said, "I gave an order to the Shangfeng, saying that he would withdraw his post from the division and ask him to go to Nanjing immediately for investigation!"

"What?" Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but stand up from the bed and snatch out of the barracks without saying a word.

I followed behind slowly and walked out. In fact, I knew that Zhang Zizhong was going to be recalled by Jiangxi to be investigated. Many people thought that Zhang Zizhong would be in danger of going there, but I was not worried about him at all.

First of all, Lao Jiang knew the cause and effect of this matter. Who is Lao Jiang? His military-controlled spies are all over the world. Even among the warlords, there are many of his spies. I even know that a senior staff officer in the 29th Army is Lao Jiang's spies... So, Lao Jiang knew that Zhang Zizhong was taking it on behalf of others. He removed Zhang Zizhong from his post and summoned him to Nanjing for investigation. It was just because he was forced to act under the pressure of public opinion.

More importantly, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to offend local warlords at this critical moment. The reason is very simple. He needed these local warlords to serve as a buffer between the Nanjing government and the Japanese. In other words, they used them to block the Japanese bayonets as much as possible. In addition, he was also worried... What if these local warlords were forced into an urgent need and turned to join the Japanese?

So even though the actions of these local warlords made Chiang angrily curse, he had to pretend that nothing had happened on the surface. For example, Liu Ruming blocked the reinforcements of the Central Army for ten days and finally lost his important place in Zhangjiakou... The punishment given by Chiang Kai-shek was nothing more than "dismissal from office and retained his post and made meritorious service"!

What does it mean to "removal of office and retention"? Although the position of the commander of the 67th Army was removed, the commander was still him... To put it bluntly, there was no punishment!

I followed the soldiers out of the barracks and found that there were already a crowd of people outside. After hearing the news, all the soldiers came out of the barracks. This time it was not the people who were slogging us, but the soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction under the leadership of the grassroots officers of the officers.

Battalion Commander Li shouted to us who had just run out: "Brothers! How much blood and sweat have we shed on the front line to fight against Japan, how many brothers have been lost? Now the central government has ordered to remove the post of the teacher and go to Nanjing for investigation. Do you think you agree?"

"Don't agree!"

"Don't agree!"

...

The soldiers clenched their fists and held their guns excitedly and shouted, and the entire military camp was in chaos. I have every reason to believe that at this time, as long as the officers gave the order, the soldiers would still shoot them with guns, no matter what the Nanjing government was not in government!

This is how the local warlords are armed. No matter how big the Nanjing government is, they only follow the orders of the warlords!

Seeing the soldiers like this, I thought it was not good. If this continues, I would be afraid that there will be mutiny or something. If this is normal, it would be fine, but now it is time to fight with Japan...
