Chapter 36 Passion from Zenda(1/2)
As the sun rose, looking at the road signs hanging in the forest, Long Wenwen subconsciously stopped and stopped in front of the road signs. He looked up at the road sign with the word "Zenda" written on it, and saw a group of defeated soldiers behind him.
They also stopped one after another, imitating Long Wenwen's example, and looked up at the street sign.
Zenda!
Zenda!
This place they once desperately wanted to escape is now the place they want to return to most.
Human beings are complex animals, just like the group of soldiers standing under the "Zenda" street sign with complicated emotions.
The seriously injured people lying on the stretchers couldn't help but look excited.
Last night, eight more of the sixty or so seriously injured people died.
"Let's go!"
"Back to Zenda!"
Long Wenwen waved his hand and took the first step, following the road signs towards Zenda.
Ayi immediately called the defeated soldiers, lined up in two lines, and headed towards Chanda.
"What a bastard, we are really back!" Bu La still can't believe it. They really returned to the east coast. Until Zenda City appeared in their sight, everyone stopped again in unison.
Stepped down.
At this time, the defeated soldiers had been in the mountains and forests for more than ten days, sleeping day and night. They were all unkempt. If they were not wearing military uniforms, they would be no different from savages.
The people of Zenda did not know that their army, which had been active on the other side for more than half a month and had fought countless life-and-death battles with the Japanese army, had returned to the east coast.
But the total number of defeated soldiers was 500, of which more than 200 were wounded, and more than 60 of them could only lie on stretchers, carried by two soldiers.
"Sir, where did you come from?" An old man with a slightly heavier burden looked at the defeated soldiers who looked like they had just come off the battlefield. He couldn't help but frown and stepped forward to ask.
"Old man, we are coming from the Sichuan Army Corps from the other side!" Long Wenwen was afraid that the old man had bad ears, so he shouted to the old man.
The old man asked doubtfully: "Coming from the other side? Didn't the team on the other side withdraw long ago?"
Long Wenwen grinned at the old man and said, "Before we had time to withdraw, the bridge was blown up!"
"Really?" The old man's slightly cloudy eyes swept over the soldiers, half of whom were wounded, and asked: "Did you just finish fighting the Japanese?"
"Yes, I just finished fighting the Japanese."
"Old man, we still have something to do, so we won't talk to you anymore!" While Long Wenwen was chatting with the old man, Mi Long, who had been waiting impatiently, was also chasing Wang Zhong, wanting to take Wang Zhong to have a drink with him.
He is looking for his wife and children at home.
"Why are you so anxious? If your wife and children are at Xiaozui's house, they won't be able to escape. If they're not there, it's useless for you to be anxious." Wang Zhong did it on purpose.
"We've arrived at Zenda!" Milong looked anxious, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. He was really worried that the wife he picked up for nothing would run away.
After all, they have been on the West Bank for almost a month. After the Battle of Nantianmen, they have also lost contact with the East Bank. Although the cannon fodder usually teases him, Mi Long always laughs at the cannon fodder.
They don't even have a wife, they are just jealous that he has a wife and children.
But when they actually returned to Zenda, the stubborn Milong finally began to panic.
Broken soldiers!
No, we can no longer call them a defeated army, because they fought against the Japanese army again and again in Burma, and won again and again, and even crossed the river and returned to the east bank under the nose of the Japanese army.
They accomplished feats that countless people could never dream of accomplishing.
How can they be called defeated today?
They should all be heroes.
It is a pity that the heroes are nameless. The people of Zenda did not know their feats on the other side. Even Yu Xiaoqing, who was staying at the east bank river defense headquarters at this time, may not know that the abandoned sons they thought would die have now returned.
After arriving at the east coast, we returned to Zenda.
I just don’t know what the expression on Yu Xiaoqing’s face will be when she knows they have returned to Zenda.
"Go and tell the leader!" Wang Zhong pointed at Long Wenwen in front and said to Mi Long.
Mi Long was stunned for a moment: "You are the deputy battalion commander, and I am the leading soldier. It is more appropriate for you to go than for me."
"I'm not in a hurry anyway!" Wang Zhong looked at Charon with a smile on his face.
The mysterious dragon with a black line on his forehead had no way to deal with Wang Zhong: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"
Rather than being scolded by Long Wenwen, he wanted to see his wife and children right away. In comparison, Long Wenwen's scolding was nothing.
Now that Zenda has reached it, he can't just shoot himself like he did at Nantianmen last time, right?
Thinking of this, Mi Long immediately stopped moving forward. He turned back and glanced at Wang Zhong. Mi Long, a big man from the Northeast, frowned and said with some trepidation: "Why don't you go and tell me?"
Seeing Milong like this and the surrounding people, Kaname and the others couldn't help it any longer and burst into laughter.
Fanla even choked out: "Boss Mi is actually afraid of dying one day."
"piss off!"
"What's the matter with you? I'm troubled right now, don't cause trouble here."
Mi Long had no intention of talking nonsense with them now, and immediately scolded Meng Fanlai impatiently.
"Yo!"
"Boss Mi is angry!"
"Brothers, come here quickly and open your eyes!"
If it weren't for the march at the moment, or if there weren't more and more people around, Milong Highlands would have been kicked by a dead cripple.
"Boss Mi!" Bu La slowed down, retreated to Mi Long, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and lowered his voice and said, "I have a good idea!"
"What can I do?" Milong's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he asked hurriedly.
"You can just run away secretly! Anyway, there are so many of us and we are busy right now, so we don't have time to keep an eye on you."
Mi Long was really moved. He ran away secretly. He first went to find his wife and children. After finding him, he told them that he was safe, and then he sneaked back without anyone noticing...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay!"
"Don't listen to the nonsense!"
"The news that we have returned to Zenda must have reached Yu Xiaoqing's ears by now. I guess they are leading people here at this moment!"
"If you leave, if there is a conflict with Yu Xiaoqing and the others later, we will lose a main force."
"No way?"
"We have made such great contributions. If Yu Xiaoqing doesn't praise us, is it possible that he will arrest us all?"
"What are you thinking! Does the meritorious service have anything to do with us?" Wang Zhongdao: "All the credit is due to the proper command at the top. Are we different from cannon fodder?"
As soon as Wang Zhong said these words, the smiles on the faces of everyone who had been laughing playfully at the dragon's joke disappeared in an instant.
"unless······"
"Unless what?" Kaname asked hurriedly with a curious look on his face.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Unless you can sleep with the little wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest War Zone and let her help blow the pillow in the Commander-in-Chief's ears."
"Who knows if this credit can still fall on us!"
"We don't have this ability, but Boss Wang does!" Fanla limped and said with a smile: "Boss Wang is brave, magnificent, and capable. He can definitely put the commander-in-chief's little wife to bed!"
"The enemy!"
"Boss Wang will definitely give Isaac a favor if he takes action!"
Wang Zhong's words made everyone feel heavy-hearted and their smiles disappear, but his second sentence made everyone smile again.
The atmosphere returned to the relaxed and happy atmosphere just now.
"Do you think Yu Xiaoqing has a little wife?" Yaoma suddenly lowered his voice and asked everyone with a sneaky look.
"Tch! Do you dare to go to bed even if I have you?" Fanla snorted and said angrily: "That day at Nantianmen, the battalion commander in charge of Jiang Defense was beheaded by Yu Xiaoqing himself!"
"Your neck is harder than that battalion commander's?" When saying this, Fanla gave Kaname a faint glance.
Just this glance made Kaname's neck feel cold and he immediately retracted his head.
"You can sleep with the commander-in-chief's wife, but you can't sleep with Yu Xiaoqing's?" Wang Zhong said with disdain: "Is it possible that Yu Xiaoqing has three heads and six arms?"
While they were talking, everyone had arrived at the edge of Chanda City, and many people in the city who heard the news had already gathered at the city gate.
He was looking intently at their team, nearly half of which were sick and wounded, dressed in ragged clothes, no different from savages and beggars.
As they approached, the sound of gongs and drums began to sound. Several young men and women stood in front of the crowd wearing quilts, using the quilts as lion heads, and danced on the nodes of the gongs and drums.
The gongs and drums were beating loudly, the old men beat the gongs, the women beat the waist drums, and danced to the popular percussion drums here in Zenda.
A large group of girls, young and old, rushed to everyone with garlands made of fresh flowers and plants, and with smiles on their faces, put the garlands on everyone's heads, and stuffed the flowers into everyone's hands.
This is a passion that the cannon fodder has never seen in the people of Zenda before they fled to Zenda today.
From the heart, sincere and beautiful.
However, what the cannon fodder wants most now is not these.
To be continued...
