Chapter 1109 The Roots of the Nation

"It's so hang!" The soldier crawled out of the dry well felt like he had survived the disaster. A soldier pointed his hand at the door panel that was lifted to the dry well.

After hearing what the soldiers said, Shang Zhen and Fang Yong noticed that the wooden square that was framed on the edge of the broken door panel that was tied to the dry well had been broken.

That was a new thing, although it was not very neat.

"Has the Japanese soldier stepped on?" Fang Yong asked.

"Yes! Thanks to me holding it with my hands below!" A soldier who was standing on the top floor said.

"What do you mean to hold it with your hands below?" The second soldier who was stepped on his shoulder was unhappy. "Then there are two of us below. You can hold it if we don't support you?"

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone has a share!" the first soldier said hurriedly.

After hearing what the soldiers said, they didn't need to explain it anymore. Shang Zhen and Fang Yong could imagine the previous situation.

The Japanese war horse happened to step on the frame of the door panel.

Although the door frame is made of flat wood, it can't stand the Japanese ocean horse that has hundreds of pounds and stepped on it.

Fortunately, there were soldiers holding them down, and the horse had just broken the wooden door with one leg, but its other front leg fell to the ground.

Otherwise, although the horse would not fall down because the wellhead was small, it would be certain that it would be trapped at the wellhead. With such a result, not to mention whether the soldiers in the well would be injured by the horse, the battle would definitely happen again.

"It's good that nothing happened. The Japanese and the others can't come again this time. Everyone should act separately and see if each family can find food." Shang Zhen ordered, and at the same time he felt glad. This move he used was quite ruthless!

"Look for us two great heroes again." At this time, the soldier joked.

Although it was shocked but not dangerous, it finally fooled the Japanese army. The soldier also had the intention to joke. The other soldiers also smiled when they looked at Shang Zhen and Fang Yong.

Shang Zhen and Fang Yong came out of the pile of dust. They didn't have to look in the mirror. It was just a black pig and an old pike. They just needed to look at each other and knew what they were now black.

The two of them laughed, but when they smiled, they showed their white teeth, just like the natives of Africa.

The soldiers went to the village to find food, but Shang Zhen and Fang Yong were guarding the entrance of the village.

There were still Japanese and puppet troops moving on the road in the distance, and now Shang Zhen and Fang Yong have the time to talk about their respective situations.

Shang Zhen just casually said that he was from the Northeast Army, and he didn't say anything about the details.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to talk about it, it’s because he has visited so many places he has “more” in all the Northeast Army units, so he really has no way to talk about it.

The source reported by Fang Yong was the first time Shang Zhen heard that the reason why he called the source instead of the number was because Fang Yong belonged to was called the "Red Gun Club"!

What can I do if I throw it? Just because of this name, Shang Zhen reminded of the hundreds of farmers who were charging at the Japanese army with red tassels.

Seeing Shang Zhen showing a puzzled expression, Fang Yong explained to him.

It turns out that Fang Yong and others are from Henan.

Henan has always been a large population province in China, but the Yellow River flows through Henan. In those ten years, it was flooded for eight years, so that place has been numerous but poor.

Since the Boxer Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty, there was a Red Gun Club in Henan. When the War of Resistance broke out in full swing, the Red Gun Club has absorbed more people. It was really red tassels and colorful flags fluttering.

Some of the Red Gun Associations were incorporated by the National Army. As the war was fought more, they naturally abandoned the Red Tassel Spear and Knife instead, with rifles or even machine guns. Fang Yong and others belonged to the 110th Division.

As for which warlord leader the 110th Division belonged to, Fang Yong couldn't explain clearly, and Shang Zhen was lazy to ask.

China has a large population, and even the Central Army and local miscellaneous military and merchants in the National Government Army alone cannot be clear about it, let alone the numerous local armed forces.

With his combat experience as a veteran, Shang Zhen did not think that the Red Gun Society would have any combat effectiveness when fighting against the Japanese army.

The truth is obvious. The Kuomintang army held guns and charged at the Japanese army, which was to give people their heads, let alone the common people.

But even though he said that, it did not mean that he was not curious about Hong Gun, so he heard Fang Yong say it.

During Fang Yong's story, Shang Zhen learned a few things.

For example, the Red Gun Society is similar to the Big Sword Society, and it will also offer something depending on the region, just like the Northeastern people offering great immortals.

Some offer sacrifices to Guanyin Master, some offer sacrifices to the Supreme Lord, some offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and some offer sacrifices to the Wu God of Wealth Zhao Gongming.

Shang Zhen has always been trustworthy or not to believe in these gods and Buddhas. He believed it when he needed it in his bones and naturally threw it aside when he didn't need it. As he listened, he asked Fang Yong: "What do you offer?"

"Oh, we offer Yue Fei and Yue Wu Mu!" Fang Yong replied.

"This offering is good!" Shang Zhen blurted out and exclaimed.

Shang Zhen’s limited culture does not mean that he does not know the story of Yue Fei’s resistance to the Jin Dynasty. He is a great national hero!

"The hero eats the meat of the barbarians in hunger, and laughs at the thirst and drinks the blood of the Huns!" Fang Yong suddenly said at this time.

Shang Zhen was stunned at first, then hurriedly said: "Say it again!"

"The hero eats the meat of the barbarians in hunger, and laughs at the thirsty and drinks the blood of the Huns!" Fang Yong said repeatedly for no reason why Shang Zhen had such a big reaction.

"Okay! OK! OK!" Shang Zhen, who had always been steady, understood this time. He murmured in a low voice, "If you are hungry, eat the Japanese meat, and if you are thirsty, drink the Japanese blood." Then his voice suddenly became louder, "This is ambition! If we Chinese think so, there will be no puppet troops or traitors!"

Shang Zhen memorized the idiom dictionary, but he never memorized Yue Fei's "Manjianghong". Naturally, he didn't know where the two sentences "The hero eats meat from the barbarians when he is hungry, and laughs and talks about thirsty and drinks the blood of the Huns" come from.

But he knew that the Hulu was not a Japanese devil, and this famous quote by Yue Fei successfully aroused the deep resonance in his heart!

Why is it said that what determines a nation's future is not only technological power, but ultimately it is reflected in culture?

Only a nation that takes the example of heroes who resist foreign invasion will pick up knives and guns and go to the battlefield!

So I don’t understand why people will worship Wang Zhaoming and others in the future. If a nation takes such a person as an example, it will be a sure country and a seed will be destroyed!

Culture is the spirit of resistance. Although we are behind, we have been learning lessons from the setbacks over the past century in modern times and can always improve our wisdom in fighting.

Just like later, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army became the best light infantry in the world, they brought the light infantry to the extreme and eventually forced the US to sign the armistice agreement.

But if a nation has no spirit of resistance at its roots and bones, and its spirit has no place to settle down, it will inevitably become that rootless duckweed in reality.

As for this principle, it is true whether it is ancient, modern or contemporary.
